More on our endorsements
I’m sure political endorsements are usually wellthought-out exercises in civic engagement, but I see that you’ve already gotten some pushback on your Rochester City Council endorsements. Allow me to join these voices of disagreement. First, I will disclose that I am a Democratic committeeman in a city legislative district and, in that role, had the opportunity to listen to all the candidates present their platforms. I have also attended several public meetings for more of the same. These candidates cut a wide swath across the cultural, racial, and political fabric of our fair city. As a city resident, I am looking for innovation and creativity in approaching our community’s problems: childhood poverty, inequalities in education and health, perceptions of crime and law enforcement’s response, how to manage Rochester’s changing cityscape as well as maintaining Rochester as a cultural jewel in our state and nation, among others. In listening to these excellent candidates, Shawn Dunwoody, by his own personal example of community connection, working with our youth, and energetic advocacy for bringing us together, stands 2 CITY

District should hire more teachers of color
current substitutes and other qualified individuals into the teaching force, encouraging current students of color to pursue teaching careers – for example, in the district’s “Teaching and Learning Institute.” Scholarships should made available. And more! Concrete, ongoing action to recruit and retain teachers of color will increase student learning results, improve school climate, and combat racism. With required staff development on “race and class consciousness” for all teachers, the school district can begin to confront and eradicate the pervasive personal, institutional, and structural racism that currently exists in our schools and our community.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
Imagining a downtown What’s your vision for downtown Rochester? Some of the candidates we’ve talked with this summer have brought up that issue, and it’s a good time to talk about it. What do we want for this essential part of the city? Rochester’s downtown has changed dramatically over the past several decades, and it’ll likely never again be the central retail center for the region. We lost that fight long ago, to the suburban shopping malls that followed the housing sprawl. For a lot of reasons, there was little that city officials, businesses, and residents could do about that – although lord knows, many of them tried. We can complain about what downtown lacks, but it could have been much worse. An impressive number of people have held on to their vision of a downtown that would survive and be strong. They’ve bought homes and started businesses and grown arts institutions downtown, despite the sprawl that was eating out its heart. And then there’s the document called “Vision 2000: A Plan for Downtown,” the result of an extensive process involving consultants, city government, and a broad representation of businesses, institutions, and neighborhood residents. Vision 2000 was produced in 1990 – 10 years before the May Company closed what was once Sibley’s department store. The Vision 2000 creators mistakenly thought retail would remain strong, but the core vision these folks laid out is significant. It has served a succession of city administrations since then, and it can serve as a good guide and inspiration now. Downtown, said the Vision 2000 creators, is “the center of our metropolitan community expressing who we are, our priorities, aspirations, and dreams. It is and will continue to be the center of commerce, culture, government, and urban life.” “Within this compact and urbane setting, diverse uses cluster in close proximity to one another, enabling workers, residents, and visitors to walk to sporting events, theater performances, business meetings, shopping, and services.” Obviously, downtown has lost some of that compactness. But the bones are still there, in the form of historic buildings that we’ve preserved and begun to reuse and in new development. And the bones are there in the form of important zoning code changes – regulations that permit mixed uses in a building, for instance, and that require new buildings to be built up to the
A 27-year-old document called “Vision 2000” has some important advice for city officials as they plan the future of Downtown Rochester. sidewalk and to have street-level windows, not blank walls. And then there’s this: “We look forward to a future where we are building upon downtown’s firm economic foundation,” says Vision 2000, “while rediscovering our roots as a riverfront city, increasing our downtown residential population, providing a central neighborhood for all of Greater Rochester, and strengthening the city’s role as a learning and cultural center, all within a vibrant and urbane environment.” “Downtown,” it says, “should serve as the crossroads of our metropolitan community and a ‘common ground’ for all segments of the city and its region; a place where diverse people and institutions can meet face-to-face and share a sense of ownership, community pride, and identity. This special place, at the center of its region, should provide unique experiences and qualities which will not be found elsewhere.” Good stuff, yes? And it’s interesting – and important – that so many younger adults sketch out exactly that vision as they talk about what they want downtown, on Parcel 5 and elsewhere. They want a downtown that does indeed serve everybody, not a downtown that, in their words, is a playground for the affluent. If I were a city official right now, I’d be listening closely to what those folks are saying. What are we doing to insure that some of downtown’s new housing will serve all of our population? If we’re going to have a new theater on Parcel 5, will we guarantee it will be available for broad public use? There’s no better time to have that discussion than now. rochestercitynewspaper.com

Developers show their Medley plan
Medley Centre is no more. Now the idle, empty, former mall on East Ridge Road will be known as Skyview on the Ridge. Developers Angelo Ingrassia, Frank Perticone, and Robert Morgan unveiled their plans for the property during a press conference on Tuesday. They plan to overhaul the building’s façade and turn its interior into flexible space and shared work and conference areas that will accommodate everything from atypical offices to day care facilities to restaurants. And at the end of the press conference, crews working for the developers knocked down the former Irondequoit Dodge building at the edge of the property; Ingrassia once co-owned the dealership. The previous owner failed to live up to his commitment to raze the building, and the new developers wanted to show their commitment to progress.

EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
Activists push district to hire more teachers of color The New York State Department of Education released English and math test scores for grades 3-8 last week, and once again the Rochester school district’s scores were the lowest among the state’s Big Five urban districts. Although Rochester students showed a slight improvement over last year’s scores, only about 7 percent met proficiency standards in English and math. Even more alarming: in some schools, hardly any students
in some grades made the top, “excelling” rating. State Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia said during a telephone conference call with media that overall, the state is improving. But, she added, test scores in Rochester remain “a significant concern.” A group of local education and anti-racism activists, however, had a stronger response. In a press event last week, members of three
organizations – Take it Down, Faith Community Alliance, and the Movement for Anti-racist Ministry and Action – gave a sharp assessment of the school board and Superintendent Barbara Deane-Williams. And Minister Clifford Florence, Sr., an associate minister with the Central Church of Christ, drew a straight line between the district’s largely white, female teaching force continues on page 10
Erie County Representative Chris Collins has introduced a bill in Congress that would prohibit states from placing regulations on shotguns and rifles that go beyond federal ones. If it were to pass, it would torpedo the state’s assault-rifle regulations.
POLITICS | BY JEREMY MOULE
Collins takes shotgun approach to gun laws New York has a long history of regulating guns, from the 1911 statute that created the state’s pistol permit requirement to the sweeping 2013 SAFE Act. And practically every one of the measures has met opposition from the gun industry and gun rights supporters. Representative Chris Collins, an Erie County Republican who represents a small part of Monroe County, fits right into the pattern. Collins recently introduced the Second Amendment Guarantee Act (H.R. 3576), which would prohibit states from placing regulations on shotguns and rifles that go beyond federal ones; the proposal doesn’t deal with handguns. In his press release announcing the bill, Collins made it clear he was targeting the state’s SAFE Act, which has vocal opponents across his district. “This legislation would protect the Second Amendment rights of New Yorkers that were unjustly taken away by Andrew Cuomo,” Collins said in a press release announcing the bill. “I am a staunch supporter of the Second Amendment and have fought against all efforts to condemn these rights. I stand with the law-abiding citizens of this state that have been outraged by the SAFE Act and voice my commitment to roll back these regulations.”
If Collins’ proposal goes through, it would torpedo the state’s assault-rifle regulations, which date back to Republican Governor George Pataki’s administration. The SAFE Act tightened the definition of assault weapons, required anyone who owned a gun fitting that definition to register it with state police, and banned sales of semi-automatic rifles and shotguns with certain features, such as folding stocks, pistol grips, or flash suppressors. The SAFE Act, just like the state’s 1994 assault weapon ban before it, limits the capacity of magazines to 10 rounds. The federal assault weapons ban expired in 2004, and Congress never passed legislation to replace it. No federal laws prohibit features that New York laws ban. If Collins’ bill passed, it would likely knock out some other crucial protections, says Gary Pudup, a Greece resident and the Finger Lakes representative for New Yorkers Against Gun Violence. New York and the federal government both require gun dealers to perform background checks on anyone buying a rifle or shotgun. But New York – along with a handful of other states – requires sellers in private rifle or shotgun sales to perform background checks of prospective buyers, Pudup says.

The idea is to make sure that people who cannot legally possess guns – convicted felons, people with orders of protection against them, people who have been involuntarily committed to a psychiatric facility – have a harder time skirting mandated background checks.

Incumbent Lovely Warren PHOTO BY KEVIN FULLER 6 CITY
AUGUST 30 - SEPTEMBER 5, 2017
Our choice for mayor:
Lovely Warren ENDORSEMENTS | BY CITY NEWS STAFF
The City of Rochester is a fragile thing, with tremendous resources and seemingly great potential. But, like many cities in the US, it is facing enormous challenges. Poverty, unemployment, loss of business and industry, low academic achievement, violence, tension over police oversight and community relations, racism: No mayor and no City Council can solve those problems quickly or easily, or on their own, for that matter. But effective mayors can take actions that support progress and keep existing services functioning well. They can also suggest new, creative measures. They can lead, and they can inspire the confidence of residents and businesses. They can successfully balance the needs of conflicting interests and make tough decisions when they need to. And they can speak out on behalf of the needs of their citizens. In a Democratic primary on September 12, registered city Democrats will choose among three candidates who want to be Rochester’s mayor for the next four years: incumbent Lovely Warren, former police chief Jim Sheppard, and former television reporter Rachel Barnhart. The winner will face Green Party candidate Alex White, Republican candidate Tony Micciche, and independent candidate Lori Thomas in the general election in November. We believe Mayor Lovely Warren’s experience and her record during her first term make her the best choice. We did not endorse Warren when she ran for mayor four years ago because we believed her opponent, incumbent Tom Richards, had done an excellent job, and we felt he was better suited to encourage the investment that was beginning to pick up speed in the city, particularly downtown. Warren had an unnecessarily shaky first year, making some highly visible errors – hiring her uncle as a security guard, for instance – that reinforced concerns critics had about her before the election. Later controversies have kept those concerns alive. (Replacing several Rochester Housing Authority board members with her own supporters is an example.) Also at play: a deep and sometimes highly personal division in the local Democratic Party. These are Democrats who clearly share the same philosophy and the same goals for the community, so the division is particularly unfortunate. And it is made worse, including in this election, by its racial component. Warren’s key support includes Democrats loyal to longtime African-American state legislator and political mentor David Gantt. Sheppard’s support, while certainly not exclusively white, includes a key group of white political leaders, many of them from the city’s more affluent southeast neighborhoods.
Our opinion, your opinion
We encourage your comments on our endorsements for mayor, City Council, and school board. Email them to us at themail@rochester-citynews.com, post them on our website under this article or under our August 16 Council and school board endorsement articles (rochestercitynewspaper.com), or post them on our Facebook page. The division dates back many years, and it is keeping the party from achieving what it could achieve, in the city, the county, and the region. Sometimes, the distrust between the two groups not only affects deliberations by City Council but influences public opinion on important community issues. And Warren sometimes heightens that distrust by not acting with more transparency. A recent example: her recommendation for development on downtown’s Parcel 5 – a theater for the Rochester Broadway Theatre League, topped by an apartment tower. Warren had been set to recommend a residential-commercial development by Andy Gallina, but she and her staff changed their minds, apparently after questions arose about that proposal’s financing. The problem, as Warren’s critics have noted: funding is by no means secured for the RBTL proposal. But Warren has also grown in the job, as elected officials often do. And she has a strong record of accomplishments. With other area leaders, she has pushed for more economic development in the region and for state assistance in attracting new business. And she has been a fierce advocate for providing jobs for poor and low-income residents. She pushed for development at City Gate that would bring good-paying jobs to the area, has pushed for better transportation from city neighborhoods to employment centers, and helped initiate a van pool for city residents to get to jobs at the Del Lago casino. Her administration launched a community co-op program, and in April, the city announced that the program’s first business, ENEROC, will install LED lighting in Rochester Regional Health parking garages. The Warren administration brought the Kiva program to Rochester, and it’s already providing loans to entrepreneurs and small businesses. During Warren’s first term, downtown development begun under previous administrations has continued, and new development has started. New residential housing is filling up and more is planned. Some established businesses have moved in, and others have started up. The Inner Loop fill-in is nearly complete, and work on a massive new Strong museum complex will begin soon. Warren has been intimately involved in anti-poverty efforts, both through the Rochester-Monroe Anti-Poverty
Initiative and in individual efforts in City Hall. She’s been meeting with the leaders of key businesses and institutions to press for higher wages for low-income employees. And she’s leading them by example, raising the minimum wage of fulltime city employees gradually to $15 an hour, on a pace faster than the state mandate. As federal immigration raids increased in Upstate New York, Warren introduced, and City Council passed, a new Sanctuary City resolution. In response to the concerns from many residents and police officers, the organization of the police department was increased to five sections rather than two. Critics had complained that two large sections made it difficult for officers and residents to get to know one another. And Warren has pushed for more diversity in the city’s police and fire departments and throughout city government. New housing development has begun in low-income areas on Hudson Avenue and East Main Street (a move that was resisted by some neighborhood leaders but applauded by others). To help spur improvement around the Bulls Head area, the Rochester Economic Development Corporation recently bought Bulls Head Plaza on West Main Street. Under Warren, the city adopted a Climate Action Plan, with a goal of substantially reducing greenhouse gas emissions by focusing on everything from energy use and transportation to land use. The city has continued to expand the number of bike lanes, and the city-initiated Zagster bike-sharing effort began earlier this summer. Warren is also working on legislation stating the city’s intent to take part in a community choice aggregation program, which could create the opportunity for residents and businesses to buy energy from fully renewable sources. From the beginning, Warren has been an important role model for many Rochesterians, particularly young African Americans. And she has become a strong voice and a strong speaker, providing important community leadership, for example, at the Washington Square demonstration against President Trump’s travel ban. The next four years could be a time of exciting growth for Rochester. But the city will continue to face enormous challenges, particularly with federal funding – for infrastructure, for home and business improvements, for education, for the arts – threatened under the Trump administration. The city needs a seasoned mayor with a demonstrated record, one who can continue the important progress that has been taking place. Warren is bright, capable, and an exceptionally hard worker – a Rochester native who is passionate about her city, its residents, and8its future. Like her city, she has continues on page enormous potential, and for us, she is the best choice among the candidates in the Democratic primary.

Jim Sheppard
Democratic challenger Jim Sheppard PHOTO BY KEVIN FULLER
Jim Sheppard is a friendly, engaging man who is certainly qualified to be Rochester’s mayor. His long career of public service has given him a unique understanding of the community. He spent 30 years as a Rochester police officer, including three years as police chief. (He resigned when Lovely Warren became mayor.) He was director of the city’s Office of Public Integrity for nine months and for two years was Director of Safety and Security for the Rochester school district. He has worked with at-risk youth in positions as a counselor with the Division for Youth, and, more recently, through Rochester’s Center for Youth, and he has served as a Monroe County legislator since January 2016. Sheppard has had valuable experience, then, as an administrator, and as someone working closely with city residents. He understands the challenges facing both the city and its school district. And in interviews and on his website, he offers extensive, often thoughtful proposals on a variety of issues. He wants to resurrect the Neighbors Building Neighborhoods program initiated under Bill Johnson’s administration and says that the city needs to do a better job including neighborhood residents in planning. He wants to create a Neighborhood 8 CITY

Leadership Academy to train residents to serve in community service and leadership positions. He proposes a “Restore Rochester” program to bring residents, community organizations, and construction workers together to help repair houses and improve neighborhoods. He wants to work with bankers and employers to find ways to encourage people to own homes in the city – and help them afford to do it. He wants a stronger effort on abandoned housing, including helping homeowners risking default on their mortgage. He has proposed programs to make housing more accessible to people with disabilities, and he promises to involve representatives of people with disabilities in site review and other city planning. He wants to eliminate youth homelessness, open a shelter for homeless youth and create programs to reduce the rate of sexually transmitted disease among LGBTQ youth. He wants to ban conversion therapy in the city. He wants a focus on the housing and health-care needs of older LGBTQ residents. In some areas, he’s more vague. Like Warren’s other Democratic opponent, Rachel Barnhart, he criticizes Warren for not making more progress on such complex, long-
standing issues as poverty and employment without offering reasons to believe he would tackle those problems better than any of his predecessors have. In his discussion on poverty, he notes that Rochester has numerous programs trying to deal with poverty but says they don’t always help the people most in need. To remedy that, he says he would “bring together a team of appropriate stakeholders and service providers to hit the streets and connect people with the services they need.” That’s a logical suggestion, which has been made before, for decades; the trick is in the implementation. And some of his assessments are simply naïve. For instance, he blames the decades-long line-up of buses on Main Street, and the fights among young people changing buses after school, for downtown’s decline. While both were certainly a problem before the buses were moved, Rochester lost Midtown Plaza, Sibley’s, and numerous other businesses – along with their employees and customers – because of suburban sprawl. There was little to nothing any mayor could have done to counteract that sprawl. The ensuing problems were the result of the hollowing out of downtown. And it has taken more than moving buses and changing student bus routes to turn downtown around.
Throughout the campaign, Sheppard has made the kind of accusations that challengers often make about incumbents. He says that Warren lacks vision, but he hasn’t laid out a vision that differs much from Warren’s or any of her predecessors. Mayors are not magicians, and they are limited by state law, the economy, and many other forces well beyond their control. His own record has some problems as well. While his record as police chief includes commendable efforts such as emphasizing police involvement in the community, he has taken strong criticism for his handling of police actions in several high-profile cases. Among them: an RPD officer who forced Brenda Hardaway, a pregnant woman, to the ground during a struggle. Sheppard and the RPD’s investigation decided that the officer’s actions were both justified and proper. Also troubling is that he didn’t vote for more than 30 years. That said, if Sheppard were running against an incumbent with a weak record, we might very well endorse him, and if he were elected, he would probably do a good job. But for us, at least, he hasn’t made a strong case for why he would do a better job than Warren has.
Rachel Barnhart
Democratic challenger Rachel Barnhart PHOTO BY KEVIN FULLER
Rachel Barnhart, a well-known former television reporter, is an intelligent candidate with a contagious enthusiasm about the city and its future. Her years on television are clearly an advantage: she knows the community and its politics like the back of her hand, and she knows how to articulate her vision. She is a fierce, eloquent advocate for the city – and for its importance as the region’s hub. She says she would stand up to the county’s industrial development agency, which continues to give tax breaks to companies that are moving from the city to the suburbs. Rochester’s mayor has no power over COMIDA, so it’s questionable whether a Mayor Barnhart would be successful in that effort, but words are important. City officials should be continually pressing the importance of the city to its suburbs and fighting, in any way they can, the wasteful sprawl that has helped cripple the city. Barnhart also has some proposals that could result in concrete, positive changes. She wants to create a city arts fund to provide grants to arts groups. She wants Rochester to establish a municipal fiber internet service, an idea that is plenty
realistic and doable. The city and county have a tremendous amount of installed, underused fiber – so much, in fact, that they set out to study just how much capacity they could devote to outside users. Building out a citywide fiber-to-home network would be a matter of money and willpower, both of which could prove to be obstacles. But eventually the city won’t have a choice, at least if it wants to attract the tech-minded entrepreneurs and workers leaders say they want to. Barnhart also brings welcome attention to pedestrian and cycling infrastructure. City planners were already incorporating much of what she’s pushing for into projects – from “road diets” – narrowing lanes to encourage lower speeds – and curb bump-outs to bike lanes and street markings, but many people would like to see City Hall take a more aggressive approach. She has been outspoken on the crucial issue of police oversight, insisting early in the campaign that an independent investigation and review is essential. But on many other issues, Barnhart’s proposals are weaker than those of her opponents, and some are simply troubling. She suggests cutting property taxes by 50
percent, something that would devastate the city. The decline of Kodak and the loss of downtown retail took an enormous toll on the city’s tax base. Over decades, through successive administrations, and against enormous odds, Rochester has managed to sustain services, encourage investment, and gradually start building up the value of city property – and thus the tax base. Barnhart says that her tax cut would not result in less money, because she would delay the cut for three years, during which the city would build up a fund to offset the lost revenue. Money for the fund, she says, could come through state aid and efficiencies and, possibly, through merging the city’s water system with the county’s system; she proposes a feasibility study on the merger. In the end, she says, the lower tax rate would encourage investment in the city by residents and businesses, raising the tax base and increasing tax revenue. While many voters will likely find that idea appealing, we think it’s unrealistic. We’re also troubled by her proposal to have the city fund child-care subsidies for 1000 children. Additional child-care funding is critically important, but that
is a county responsibility, and the county has frequently tried to reduce funding for programs that are heavily used by city residents. The financially strapped city cannot give the county an opening to lessen its commitment to social services. Barnhart, like many political candidates, insists that she could succeed in some difficult tasks where others have failed: persuading state government to give Rochester its fair share of state funds, for instance. Every mayor in recent history has fought that battle, and Barnhart hasn’t shown why she would have better luck. Finally, Barnhart’s lack of management experience would hamper her and city government. Mayors don’t run their city by themselves, and Barnhart could pick knowledgeable, experienced administrators who would try to carry out her vision. But the person at the top is responsible for overseeing the key administrators and holding them responsible. Barnhart has not had the kind of executive and legislative experience that her two Democratic opponents have had.

Teachers continues from page 4
and the low test scores of the district’s mostly minority students. Some research indicates that black teachers are less likely to suspend students of color than white teachers are and are more likely to have high expectations of them. The district has made little progress at hiring and retaining teachers of color, Florence said. “We’re protecting incompetence,” he said. The activists said they had been told that the superintendent is “aggressively pursuing a racial justice agenda,” but they questioned that. “We want to help her successfully take on this immense challenge through broad-based community experience, expertise, insight, and collaboration,” Florence said. Long-time anti-racism and education activist Howard Eagle also challenged the district’s hiring procedures, calling them “deeply flawed.” And in fact district officials haven’t made much progress at hiring more teachers of color. The issue, which has been discussed for years, surfaced again during the August 24 school board meeting. Only 25 percent of the district’s teachers are people of color, district personnel chief Harry Kennedy told board members at the meeting. That’s an increase of 5 percent from a year ago, he said, but it’s still a small percentage in a district where only around 10 percent of students are white. Kennedy broke the non-white staff numbers down this way: 423, or 13.1 percent of the teachers, are black; 203, or 6.3 percent, are Latino, 43, or 1.3, are Asian; eight, or .25 percent, are Native American; and two, or .1 percent, are Native Hawaiian. (Nearly 4 percent of teachers don’t specify their race, Kennedy said.) In an effort to improve those numbers, the district has completely revised its recruitment and hiring practices for teachers, Kennedy said. Recruitment started in February this year, about six months earlier than it has in past years. District officials also visited four historically black colleges in their search for teachers of color, as well as Puerto Rico.
Hiring is still underway to fill 110 vacancies, Kennedy said, particularly in hard-to-fill areas like special education. School board Vice President Cynthia Elliott said the vacancies present an opportunity to fill more of those positions with teachers of color. But the district also has a problem with attrition and retaining teachers, which has complicated the hiring process, Kennedy said. Elliott did praise the efforts of DeaneWilliams, who has been on the job for only a year. Many of Deane-Williams’ senior administrators are people of color, Elliott said. “I commend the superintendent for her passion about racial equity,” Elliott said. “I don’t remember any other superintendent doing this kind of work to this extent.” But board President Van White, who participated in the meeting via Skype, was far less celebratory. “Her cabinet is extremely diverse in central office,” White said, “but we need to ensure the same level of diversity exists at the building level.” The school board, which vote on teacher hires, should be told why teachers of color who have applied for jobs haven’t been hired, he said. And White went a step further, calling for the board to meet in executive session to review the pool of candidates before voting on the superintendent’s hiring recommendations, both that night and in the future. Recommendations about candidates come to the superintendent from administrators and school-based planning teams, most of whose members are usually white. During a phone interview after the board meeting, White defended his request. In the past, he said, the board has approved 99.9 percent of the candidates that superintendents have presented, with few questions. The board has a responsibility to do more than that, he said. “Our children won’t see that diversity if we don’t do something differently,” White said.

Dicky's Corner Pub will have a soft opening in mid-September, with an official opening the week after. Dicky's had closed earlier this year, and Richie Salvaggio saw an opportunity to bring the business back into his family. PHOTO BY KEVIN FULLER
Back into the family Dicky’s Corner Pub 791 MEIGS STREET MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY, 3 P.M. TO 11 P.M.; FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, 3 P.M. TO 2 A.M.; SUNDAY, 12 P.M. TO 2 A.M. FACEBOOK.COM/DICKYSCORNERPUB [ FEATURE ] BY KATIE LIBBY
Residents of the Highland Park neighborhood, many of whom grew up there and decided to raise their own families in the area, are well familiar with the green building on the corner of Meigs and Caroline Streets. The building was built in 1880 and purchased by the Salvaggio family in 1922. Richard “Dick” Salvaggio opened Dicky’s Restaurant in 1949, and the bar and restaurant stayed in the family for decades. It was a place you could come into for a pint or a bite to eat and always run into someone from the neighborhood. Richie Salvaggio, the new co-owner of the revived Dicky’s Corner Pub, started helping out with the family business at the age of 12. “I was born into this business,” Salvaggio says. Salvaggio’s parents, Michael and Judy, ran Dicky’s from 1991 until the mid-2000’s,
when they closed Dicky’s and new owners opened the short-lived Black Pearl Café. After the Black Pearl Café closed, Daniel Rosato and Scott Napier opened it as Dicky’s 1880, but the Salvaggio family wasn’t involved. When Rosato and Napier closed the bar earlier this year, Salvaggio saw it as an opportunity to bring the business back into his family. He and business partner William Pieper plan on holding a soft opening for the new Dicky’s Corner Pub in mid-September, with the official grand opening happening the week after. We’re calling this the Dicky’s revival,” Salvaggio says. Extensive renovations have been made to the space, yet careful consideration has been
given to keep it recognizable as the place that Salvaggio’s family ran for years. This includes a fresh layer of paint, updates to the bathrooms, refinishing the floors and adding a separate dining room entrance. The massive bar at Dicky’s is an antique that includes a trough that used to serve as a spittoon — for those times that walking the few feet to spit outside was just too far. What a time to be alive! When Judy and Michael took over running Dicky’s from Salvaggio’s grandfather in 1991, Judy’s culinary skills quickly became sought after in the neighborhood. His mother has since passed away, but Salvaggio has hired the chef that worked with her in the kitchen at Dicky’s as a consultant to bring back those old recipes in the newly refurbished kitchen.
“She was famous for her broiled and fried fish fries, her French onion soup, and deep fried veggies with homemade marinara,” Salvaggio says. Her burger was voted best in Rochester multiple times. The new menu will include classic American and Italian cuisine from his mother’s repertoire as well as gluten-free and vegan dishes, like a lentil quinoa burger. Dicky’s will also be roasting turkey and roast beef in-house for sandwiches. The pub will have a full liquor license, including 13 tap lines for a mixture of Rochester and domestic beers. “I’m all about local, with the food and the drink,” Salvaggio says. While the hours are subject to change, Dicky’s will be open seven days a week, staying open later on the weekends. Salvaggio plans to eventually add outdoor seating when the warm seasons come back around. Salvaggio grew up and still lives in the neighborhood that surrounds Dicky’s. “This will be a family-oriented restaurant and pub, we want people to come in with their kids,” says Salvaggio. “I want to run this how my mom ran it — she would be proud.” rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 11

introspective, there’s something psychedelic about the music of Philadelphia band Blue Smiley: the electric guitar’s lo-fi, high-energy distortions sound as if Johnny Marr were on hallucinogens while playing with The Smiths. Meanwhile, the vocals are barely audible above the din, embedding in the instrumental texture rather than asserting themselves frontand-center. With hints of gritty garage punk and sun-drenched surf rock, the result is akin to the music of Silversun Pickups with some serious stoner vibes added for good measure.

leather, the heels, the ozone-eradicating amounts of Aqua Net. Without a shred of irony, Uticabased Wicked is what you’d get musically if you blended Motley Crue with Ratt. And aside from all the window dressing, the band lays down a solid glam metal groove. Looks that kill again and again. — BY FRANK DE BLASE
“Positively Phototactic” is the latest album from the extraordinarily mellow Auld Lang Syne since 2015’s “Last of the Honey Bees,” and the band has emerged with a slightly meaner sound this time. Start to finish, “Positively Phototactic” has the band’s sights on a path to oblivion. It does this so you don’t have to, but that’s not to say you won’t get pulled in by Auld Lang Syne’s magnetic melancholy. Opening with “God Threw Up” — which isn’t the direct sacrilege you’d been hoping for but rather a showcase of the band’s astute observations in the form of a warning — Timothy Dick sings with a weary resolve that is nicely countered by his wife Kathy’s sparkling voice and approach. Her singing on the track “Poison,” a tune — or rather a hymn — with a simply beautiful progression, will give goosebumps to your goosebumps. What catches the listener throughout this album is Auld Lang Syne’s use of the negative space between the notes and the space found therein. And there are lyrical nuggets that’ll grab you: I mean when Timothy sings “I’ll be lonely as fuck” it’s safe to say you didn’t see it coming. “Positively Phototactic” isn’t a celebratory venture, but it brings a certain joy that is cathartic from the onset. — BY FRANK DE BLASE
The Majestics “Science” Self-released facebook.com/majesticsreggae
Claudia Hoyser AT PITTSFORD PUB, 60 NORTH MAIN STREET THURSDAY, AUGUST 31 8 P.M. | FREE | THEPITTSFORDPUB.COM [ COUNTRY ] It seems like the universe is embracing local
singer Claudia Hoyser with open arms. Hoyser declares, “I’m gonna love you” on her single “No Matter What It Costs,” and the resulting karma has landed her song much coveted airplay on country radio stations nationwide. The charismatic Hoyser can certainly steal your heart away with her music. The Fairport native made waves in 2014 while auditioning for NBC’s “The Voice,” and her own voice adds some seduction to the swagger. This show is an acoustic duo with Ryan Hurley on guitar. — BY ROMAN DIVEZUR
Pure reggae, not the simile that the jamsters toy with or what the punks add with too much cream and sugar, but the straight-ahead, relaxed, one-drop of The Majestics on its new LP record, “Science” — that’s what I want, man. This Rochester band has been a giant on the scene since the 1970’s when they were known as Bahama Mama. The Majestics went away for a while and things cooled off, but it looks like the band has come back to stay if “Science” is any indication. This is some outtasight music that skates the razor between serious commentary, like on the song “Can’t Blame a Son,” and fun and all that it entails, as found on “Up Park Camp.” The album is well produced, and the band luxuriates in its comfortable groove; a groove the band adheres to, managing to avoid the monotony with the quality of its songs. You’ll dig the horns, too. It’s Majestic. It’s “Science.” — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Get your harp on [ FEATURE ] BY FRANK DE BLASE
Tom Hanney and his harmonica prowl the stage and the classroom with a cool nonchalance. As a member of several bands — The White Hots jazz combo, acoustic outfit The Fog, and rock ‘n’ rollers Open G — as well as a senior lecturer at RIT, Hanney has developed a fascination for the blues harp, the tin sandwich, the original tweet. Hanney understands folks may not think of RIT as a music school — the university has a music program as part of its Department of Performing Arts and Visual Culture — or see the harmonica as a serious instrument, but he’s here to clear that up with his “The Harmonica and the Blues” class. Hanney teaches within the School of Individualized study, where students create their own degree. Enough students signed up to study the little instrument that could after he was encouraged to teach a class. “Somebody suggested it to me when I was playing with The White Hots at the Jazz Fest, oh, probably about five years ago,” Hanney says. RIT gave Hanney the green light to create a class based on the harmonica and
its impact on the blues. It was up to him to develop the curriculum. “My department is emphasizing classes that are now inner-disciplinary,” he says. “Meaning we draw from a number of disciplines, which works great for me.” Some of Hanney’s students have already familiarized themselves with the harp by their association with older music. “I mean, they know The Beatles and the Stones and Led Zeppelin,” Hanney says. “But some are more aware of older music than I thought. And some know next to nothing about the harmonica other than it was a little instrument they got in their stocking at Christmas.” Hanney says he still occasionally encounters people’s dismissal. “That’s a perception,” he says. “I don’t think it’s a reality. People often refer to it as a toy, and as far as we’re concerned, it may have been designed as a quirky little instrument. I don’t mind. It’s not always taken seriously, which in some ways makes it all the more exciting when people hear what it can actually sound like. “It’s very much a niche instrument. In my class, where I have to do research, there’s not that much scholarship — meaning
research — in academia, where as there is in the area of other musical instruments.” Hanney says he didn’t play as a kid, but became interested in the harmonica in college. “Like a lot of people my age, I was caught up in rock ‘n’ roll, the British invasion, and such. And a lot of those rock ‘n’ rollers, they played old blues songs. Bands like the Rolling Stones used to talk about people like Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf and John Lee Hooker.” And over and above his college learning, Hanney got an education at the Red Creek, a live music joint — a fabulous roadhouse, really — on Jefferson Road where blues acts from all over, like John Lee Hooker and Big Joe Turner, performed. The history of the harmonica is a bit cloudy. The instrument dates back to somewhere around the 1820’s, Hanney says. “Nobody’s exactly sure. But the free reed instrument goes back thousands and thousands of years.” But the harmonica doesn’t just come from or go to the blues. It’s made an indelible impression on American music in general. “The Hohner Company, which is the biggest producer of harmonicas in the world, by the late 1800’s were shipping more harmonicas to America than any other place in the world,” Hanney says. “It was small, portable, and America was on the move at that time. Besides, it was easy to play. You could play ‘Old McDonald’ in five minutes after picking it up for the first time.” Hanney’s class is about studying the history and culture of the harmonica and the blues, and by doing it hands on, his students learn by playing the harmonica in the style of Little Walter, for instance. “We’ll listen to him,” Hanney says. “We’ll read about him, I’ll talk about him, then I’ll teach them a Little Walter riff or two.” Hanney will be teaching his class for the fourth semester this fall. The class holds about 20 students. “In the learning outcomes, as we call it in academia,” he says, “I want them to understand the harmonica and its relationship to the blues, to experience playing an instrument. They learn the basics of blues, a twelve-bar blues progression, and they listen to the blues. But I want it to be more than that. Blues is so much wider than Chicago blues or Delta blues. Back in the 1920’s, music that was considered blues sounded more like jazz. Even the categorizing of music is a bit misleading. A lot of what we call blues, aren’t blues. Players never called their music blues; it was just music.”

Feathers and fearlessness “Arthur Singer: The Wildlife Art of an American Master” THROUGH OCTOBER 28 UNIVERSITY GALLERY, 166 LOMB MEMORIAL DRIVE JAMES E. BOOTH HALL, ROOM 2765 MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, 10 A.M. TO 4 P.M.; SATURDAY, 12 P.M. TO 4 P.M.; FALL HOURS TO COME FREE | 475-2404; RIT.EDU/FA/GALLERY [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
In a celebration of the stunning diversity of life and the art that captures it, RIT’s University Gallery, through October 28, is hosting “Arthur Singer: The Wildlife Art of an American Master.” The extensive exhibition displays dozens of Singer’s original illustrations and paintings, but the exhibit also serves as a celebration of an individual life. “Arthur Singer” puts a spotlight not only on Singer’s paintings of birds and big cats, but on his illustrations of jazz greats created when he was just a teen, on the watercolor portraits and landscapes he created to document his experiences as a soldier in World War II, and on his involvement with the Ghost Army, a secret tactical unit filled with artists who staged ingenious battlefield deceptions. Curated by his sons, Paul and Alan (who teaches at RIT), the exhibit is named for a book they wrote and published through RIT Press in June. It serves as a testament to time and talent, documenting Singer’s life and his work, which
has been reproduced in books, magazines, prints, and commemorative stamps. One of the first display cases in the gallery holds Singer’s ink drawings and caricatures of jazz greats, including Cab Calloway and Duke Ellington, who Singer met when Ellington was attending Pratt on an arts scholarship. “They hit it off, and became lifelong friends,” Alan says. He estimates that his father was about 14 years old when these drawings were done, and says that the work was reproduced in national magazines at the time. “He was a prodigy,” Alan says. Some of the earliest works in the show are watercolor sketches Singer made as a pre-teen and teenager during visits to the Bronx Zoo — a fun detail is that Singer coincidentally grew up on Audubon Avenue in New York City. “My father didn’t make that connection until he was in college,” Alan says. From an early age, Singer exhibited a masterful handle on the medium of watercolor, revealed here in paintings that range from highly detailed renderings of reclining cats to a looser but bogglingly flawless sketch of an ostrich, made by reining in unruly drops of watery ink with just a few precise lines. Before he was drafted into the army, Singer was asked to show his work at the Bronx Zoo, Alan says. In one of the cases there’s a handpainted sign, from 1942, advertising the show. While stationed in France, Singer used downtime to create self-portraits and portraits of his fellow soldiers, picking up on personalities as well as the wearying weight of war on young shoulders. Singer’s knack for capturing
individuality extends from his portraits of people to his images of animals — many of the specific birds and other animals he painted truly read as individuals, rather than a mere representation of a species. There is also a range of paintings of the French countryside and of Paris, some of which depict bombed-out churches and bridges. A series of small and chilling sepia sketches of troop ships coming into the coast at Normandy serve as an important historic documentation of “what it looked like on those days — just look at all the activity, I mean it’s amazing they didn’t have more accidents,” Alan says. Singer has captured utter chaos within these tiny images: bunches of boats dodging other boats that were partially sunk, and clusters of dirigibles floating low overhead, transmitting information to help the ships safely navigate the maze. “His love for art and his ability to paint literally saved his life, because of the company that he kept in this Ghost Army,” Alan says. They created deceptions — a literal theater of war that included fake, inflatable tanks; fake radio transmissions; and scripted diversionary maneuvers, all with the aim of tricking the enemy. “And it worked,” Alan adds. During and after the war, Singer maintained his interest in birds and animals. The exhibit includes dozens of magazines and books that reproduced his bird paintings, including his 1966 release, “The Golden Field Guide to Birds of North America,” which redefined the concept of the bird guide. The exhibit offers students and visitors alike a rare opportunity to view the minutiae of the masterful paintings up close — you could spend hours and hours poring over the details of carefully planned layers of color, the rows of tiny brushstrokes forming a single feather, and the artful sense of framing and depth. The show also spotlights Singer’s later work in oil, and the art for the renowned 50 State Birds and Flowers stamps that he and Alan created together.

ART | FIRST FRIDAY ROUNDUP September 1 is First Friday, that most magical of evenings during which galleries and art spaces coordinate simultaneous openings. There is always a lot going on, but if you have to choose, CITY recommends these events; for more, visit firstfridayrochester.org or our calendar of events at rochestercitynewspaper.com. All events take place 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and are free, unless otherwise noted. Gallery r (100 College Avenue) will open “Material Interruption,” a show of recent photography, video, and installation projects by RIT School of Design Faculty Nancy Bernardo and Mitch Goldstein. Provided info states that through their work, Bernardo and Goldstein “explore the visual and interactive nature of glitches and accidents.” Part of the RIT Faculty in Focus series, this show remains up through September 24 and is part of the Rochester Fringe Festival lineup. Gallery r’s normal hours are Thursday through Sunday, 1 to 5 p.m. For more information, call 256-3312, or visit galleryr.rit.edu. Next door to Gallery r, Gallery Q (100 College Avenue) will host “Otherdoms,” which spotlights the fantastical work of comic-based artists. Both fan art and original characters by Lee Moyer and Liz Pritchard will present stories that “fill the gaps in the assumed inclusiveness of alternative fiction,” says provided info. The show continues through the month. Gallery Q’s hours are Monday and Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Tuesday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. 244-8640; gayalliance.org/programs/galleryq. Visual Studies Workshop Gallery (31 Prince Street) will present “We Are Family”: work by nine contemporary artists who explore the expanding concepts of family. The exhibit will focus on how the LGBTQ community has historically navigated barriers to marriage, family building, and child-rearing, and how that community navigates the roadblocks of today. “We Are Family” runs through October 21, and VSW’s gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday, 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. 442-8676; vsw.org. Rochester Contemporary (137 East Avenue) will host the opening of two shows, “Under Pressure: Redefining the Multiple” in the main space, and an exhibit of installation work by Mizin Shin in the LAB Space. The former show, presented in collaboration between Rochester Contemporary and The Print Club of Rochester, features a range of national, regional, and international artists, who aim to transcend traditional approaches to printmaking. In addition to the first Friday opening, a preview party and auction will take place on Thursday, August 31, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., and an artists’ talk will be held Saturday, September 2, at 1 p.m. Both shows continue through September 24. RoCo’s hours are Wednesday through Sunday, 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. (until 9 p.m. on Fridays). Admission is $2 and free to members (or if it’s ya birthday). 461-2222; rochestercontemporary.org. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

CULTURE | SENECA HERITAGE DAY The family-friendly 26th annual Seneca Heritage Day will take place on Saturday, September 2, featuring traditional Seneca singing and dancing, and children’s activities. Additionally, the event will celebrate the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage in New York State, noting the influence that the societal agency of Haudenosaunee women had on American women’s fight for equality. Peter Jemison and Ronnie Reitter, representatives from Ganondagan State Historic Site, will speak about the history and important contributions of the Seneca Nation, including the inspiration that early feminist movements derived from women’s important roles in the Iroquois Confederacy. Seneca singers and social dancers in traditional regalia will perform, and a children’s storyteller will engage the little ones. There’ll be free ice cream, and pies for purchase. Presented by Middlesex Heritage Group, the free event takes place from 2 p.m. to 4 pm. on the grounds of the historic Overackers Corners Schoolhouse (at the intersection of Route 364 and North Vine Valley Road, Middlesex).

Headed for the big time “Patti Cake$”
(R), DIRECTED BY GEREMY JASPER OPENS WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 30 [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
The irresistibly charming “Patti Cake$” follows the eponymous character — a white, plus-sized young woman from New Jersey — as she fights to make her dreams of hip-hop stardom come true. Like many underdog stories, the plot sticks to a tried and true formula, but it forges through any rough patches on the strength of a spectacular performance from Australian actress Danielle Macdonald. Macdonald stars as Patti Dombrowski, aka “Killa P” to her few fans and “Dumbo” by pretty much everyone else. Alongside her pharmacist best friend, Jhen (Siddharth Dhananjay), Patti passes the time with freestyle rap battles between working menial jobs to help pay off her family’s rapidly-mounting bills.

26 CITY AUGUST 30 - SEPTEMBER 5, 2017
The pair eventually join forces with another outcast, a moody anarchist metal musician known as Basterd (Mamoudou Athie) — and the crew even recruits Patti’s supportive, nononsense gran (Cathy Moriarty) to contribute some vocals — as they cobble together a demo CD they hope might lead to some actual paying gigs, and set out to take the world by storm. Of course, Patti faces setbacks and suffers nonbelievers who try to hold her back. Chief among these naysayers is her alcoholic mother, Barb (played by a wonderful Bridget Everett), and their fraught relationship forms the film’s chief conflict. Barb loves her daughter, but also holds onto a fair amount of resentment over the dissolution of her own dreams of a music career — dreams she gave up when she became pregnant with Patti. Now she lives them out by drunkenly belting karaoke after she’s plied her daughter for free drinks at the tavern where Patti tends bar. In keeping with the artform “Patti Cake$” pays affectionate tribute to, writer-director Geremy Jasper (who also produced much of the film’s excellent original soundtrack) samples freely from what’s come before. You’ll recognize some “8 Mile,” with shades of “Hairspray” and a smidge of “Rocky” in there as well. But aside from a love story subplot that doesn’t quite come together, the results are undeniably crowd-pleasing. Working with director of photography Federico Cesca, Jasper brings a nice visual style to the film, especially in rendering Patti’s
frequent daydreams, in which she imagines herself impressing her idol, a local hip-hop producer known as O-Z (Sahr Ngaujah). But what holds it all together is Danielle Macdonald’s career-making performance. Balancing Patti’s vulnerability with a brash confidence that comes out when she’s spitting rhymes, she’s a force of nature on screen. And one that’s impossible not to root for.
Elizabeth Olsen and Aubrey Plaza in “Ingrid Goes West.” PHOTO COURTESY NEON
“Ingrid Goes West” (R), DIRECTED BY MATT SPICER NOW PLAYING
We meet Ingrid (Aubrey Plaza), the rather unstable protagonist at the center of the cringe-inducing social media comedy “Ingrid Goes West,” at a particularly low point. Camped outside a lavish wedding she wasn’t invited to, Ingrid sits raccoon-eyed and sobbing, scrolling through the picture-perfect Instagram photos rolling in from the event.
Finally she works up the nerve, storms through the doors, walks up to the head table, and maces the bride in the face. That incident results in a restraining order and time in a mental ward, but Ingrid emerges none the worse for wear, and it isn’t long before she finds herself a brand-new online obsession: Instagram “influencer” Taylor Sloane (Elizabeth Olsen). Captivated by Taylor’s glamorous, Boho-chic, California lifestyle and desperate for connection, Ingrid drops everything to head west and make Taylor her new best friend. Like a modern “Single White Female,” Ingrid does indeed worm her way into Taylor’s life (and more importantly, her Instagram feed). But trouble is on the horizon, as Taylor turns out to be just as phony and infinitely more vapid than Ingrid — though in a more socially acceptable way. Skewering social media addiction and the contrast between our real lives and what makes it into the images we post online, writerdirector Matt Spicer understands the rush that comes from every “like” and new follower providing quantifiable proof that we matter to someone out there. What wouldn’t we do to get a little more of that sweet satisfaction? Plaza gets to show some range in a role that still manages to capitalize on the actor’s intense gaze and ability to add a slight hint of menace to everything she says. And Olsen is delightfully flighty. But the most surprising thing about Spicer’s film is how it refuses to treat either woman as merely a punchline; both have more layers and complexity than we expect. Best of all, though, is Ingrid’s Batman-obsessed landlord (O’Shea Jackson Jr., practically walking off with the entire film) who gets dragged (only somewhat willingly) into Ingrid’s schemes. The last act gets somewhat less interesting as a criminal plot enters the mix, and as satire, the film’s messages can tend toward the obvious. But sometimes the obvious should be said out loud. Visit rochestercitynewspaper.com on Friday for additional film coverage, including a review of Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon’s “The Trip to Spain.”
Preview: Rochester Labor Film Series Rochester Labor Film Series FRIDAYS, SEPTEMBER 1 THROUGH NOVEMBER 3 NO SCREENING ON SEPTEMBER 15 DRYDEN THEATRE, 900 EAST AVENUE ROCHESTERLABOR.ORG; EASTMAN.ORG [ PREVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
A joint effort of the Eastman Museum’s Dryden Theatre and the Rochester Labor Council’s Pettengill Labor Education Fund, the annual Rochester Labor Film Series screens a program of contemporary and classic films that celebrate workers of all stripes from around the world. The selected films encompass a wide range of issues and topics, from unions to workplace conditions, immigration, and globalization. “Many of this year’s films are quite topical,” says Jon Garlock, chair of the Labor Council’s Education Committee and co-curator of the Labor Film Series. Along with informing and challenging the audience, Garlock hopes the program will “broaden their understanding and appreciation of work and workers.” The series, now in its 28th year, only seems to grow in importance as we face an increasingly uncertain future, under a leader who views every aspect of our country simply as commodity to be mined for profit.
Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman in “All the President’s Men.” PHOTO PROVIDED
Films will screen on Fridays, from September 1 through November 3. All screenings begin at 7:30 p.m. (unless otherwise noted), though select films will receive encore showings following their initial series premiere. Each night will feature an introduction, offering a bit of expert insight into the issues raised by the evening’s film — and several will be followed by a discussion. General admission is $8; $6 for members; students with ID, $4; and free for kids under 17. The Labor Film Series kicks off with “A Better Life” from director Chris Weitz.
A reworking of Vittorio De Sica’s classic “Bicycle Thieves,” the drama follows the experiences of illegal immigrants in America, as seen through the eyes of a gardener (the Oscar-nominated Demián Bichir) raising his son in East Los Angeles. (Friday, September 1) In the lyrical documentary “Behemoth” (“Bei xi mo shou”), Chinese documentarian and video artist Zhao Liang juxtaposes his home country’s natural beauty against the coal mining industry that threatens to destroy it and the workers who labor in it. (Friday, September 8) Alan J. Pakula’s classic “All the President’s Men” follows Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein (Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman) as they uncover details of the Watergate scandal. The September 22 screening will be followed by a discussion led by local Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Cay Johnston. (Friday, September 22, with encore showings on Sunday, September 24, 2 p.m., and Monday, September 25, 1:30 p.m.) Film projectionists get their due with “The Dying of the Light,” a documentary that digs into the careers of those unsung heroes of the movie theater experience and examines their dwindling role in the digital
age. The screening will include a discussion with several local projectionists. (Friday, September 29; Sunday, October 1, 2 p.m.) Sergei M. Eisenstein’s 1925 silent film “Strike” (“Stachka”) depicts a 1903 factory worker strike in pre-revolutionary Russia. Eisenstein’s first full-length feature film, he would go on to make the masterpiece “The Battleship Potemkin” later that year. Cambridge’s Alloy Orchestra will be providing live musical accompaniment for the screening. (Friday, October 6) “Belfast, Maine” finds esteemed filmmaker Frederick Wiseman offering up a fascinating, top-down portrait of daily life in the New England port town in his intimate vérité style film. Note the slightly earlier start time. (Friday, October 13, 6:30 p.m.) James Franco directs “In Dubious Battle,” a period drama based on an early novel by John Steinbeck, which follows a group of itinerant workers fighting for decent wages and better working conditions. The film also features an all-star cast, including Vincent D’Onofrio, Robert Duvall, Ed Harris, Bryan Cranston, and the late Sam Shepard. (Friday, October 20, 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, October 22, 2 p.m.; and Monday, October 23, 1:30 p.m.) A ruthless corporate executive exercises his power over two underlings in “Patterns,” a fleet-footed drama (with a script by Rod Serling, of “The Twilight Zone”) which originally aired as part of the 1950’s-era anthology series “Kraft Television Theatre.” (Friday, October 27; Monday, October 30, 1:30 p.m.) Criminally underrated actor David Strathairn stars in “No God, No Master” as an FBI agent who uncovers an anarchist plot to overthrow the US government. The plot may have been inspired by real-life events that took place during the 1920’s, but contains a number of startling parallels to today. (Friday, November 3)

Don’t you just love historic brick homes? There is something so majestic about them. They seem to retain the history and lives of the people who have lived there. I can truly feel the spirits of prior residents and visitors when I walk into a classic brick building. I know this is starting to sound pretty touchy feely but a lot of people do relate to preservation because of that emotional attachment to buildings. So if you feel like I do – have I got a home for you!

Coming in at 1,940 square feet, the 1910 beautiful brick abode on 714 Seward Street could be a perfect fit. You can tell when you walk in that this house has been well taken care of. The owner grew up in the house and it has been in his family since 1966. There are beautiful wooden floors in the living and dining rooms with the iconic narrow board Rochester floors. Since this part of the house has been used most recently as a daycare facility, it is very well maintained, meticulously clean, and there is an unusual design element. When the bathroom was redone around three years ago, there was a bit of refiguring and a new door was installed to accommodate the expanded facility. So the original door was closed off and a full size chalk board was used to cover it. The day I was there was an open house and it read, “This could be your next home.” It could be used to welcome guests or even to display
the menu for dinner parties. The bathroom, by the way, was modern, airy, and bright. The same can be said for the new kitchen with plenty of counter space and beautiful new appliances that are negotiable with the sale. Upstairs, you have a room with a nice balcony that was added some years back. Technically, there are four bedrooms but the use of the rooms could vary as office, playroom, bedroom or, taking the cue of the current owner, one could be transformed into a spacious closet. The master bedroom is quite large with lovely wooden floors and a pressed tin ceiling. There is a large closet alcove, as well. The attic and the large, dry basement have plenty of storage. Ceiling fans are throughout the home and the furnace, hot water heater, and central air are all relatively current.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] by the Editors at Andrews McMeel Syndication
Unclear on the Concept
In early August, Volusia (Florida) County Beach Safety officers banished 73-yearold Richard G. Basaraba of Daytona Beach from all county beaches after it was discovered he was handing out business cards to young women, reading “Sugardaddy seeking his sugarbaby.” The mother of a 16-year-old said he approached a group of girls with his cards and continued to speak with the minor girl even after she told him her age. He also produced a bra padding, telling the girls he was “looking for someone who would fill it.” He told the 16-year-old she “would be perfect.”
People Different From Us
In a shocking display of mischief, an unnamed 60-year-old man in Singapore is under investigation for lodging three toothpicks in a seat on a public bus in July. If he is found to be the culprit, he could spend up to two years in prison. Singapore has an extremely low crime rate, and even minor offenses result in harsh punishments. For example, vandalism is punishable by caning. Police said at press time that the investigation was continuing.
Wait, What?
Practicing physicians in Cairo, Egypt, opened a surgery-themed restaurant called D.Kebda in July, where they wear surgical scrubs and prepare their only offering, grilled beef-liver sandwiches, behind a glass partition. Kebda is a popular street food in Egypt, but it can cause food poisoning if not prepared carefully. “We tried to take our career values and apply them to this other field,” said Mostafa Basiouny, one of the owners. “There is no contradiction between them; we are still practicing doctors.”
Great Expectations
On August 7, 16-year-old Jack Bergeson of Wichita, Kansas, filed papers in Topeka to run for governor as a Democrat in the 2018 race. Bergeson, who won’t be able to vote in that election, said: “I thought, you know, let’s give the people of Kansas a chance. Let’s try something new.” The candidate says he would “radically change” health care and would support legalizing medical marijuana, but he’s conservative on gun rights. Bryan Caskey, director of elections at the Kansas secretary of state’s office, said there is no law governing the qualifications for governor. Bergeson’s running mate, 17-year-old Alexander Cline, will be 18 by the election and will get to vote.
Animal Antics
A skunk got up close and personal with a 13-year-old boy on July 25 when it climbed into his bed in Hamden, Connecticut, apparently after hitchhiking into the house in a trash can. The family was able to remove the skunk without the help of the Hamden Animal Control Division, but an officer said the “smell of skunk ... emanated throughout the house.” The Scardillo Cheese factory in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, has a squirrel to blame for a fire that resulted in more than 20,000 gallons of milk being spoiled on August 8. The squirrel chewed through a main power line on the outside of the building, which sparked the fire, and power could not be restored for 12 hours. Already-made cheese was kept cool with generators, but milk being readied to make cheese warmed and went bad.
[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 28 ]
[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Socializing, love and romance are all highlighted, but so are secret affairs and meeting people offering a false impression or not being up-front about their attachment to past partners. Monitor the situation carefully, and be reluctant to give too much too fast in the heat of the moment. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Persistence and pressuring will not bode well if you are trying to capture someone’s heart. Offer intellectual conversations and a steady, loyal and well-established persona, and you will be noticed. It’s all in the way you present yourself. An unexpected change of heart will end in your favor.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Love at first sight is likely to throw you off guard. Refuse to let your emotions steer you in the wrong direction. If you question someone’s loyalty, slow down and rethink how you want to proceed. A long-distance romance will be tempting but not realistic. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Keep an open mind when it comes to love. A practical approach to life will help you weed out anyone expecting you to foot the bill. If you are looking for a forever relationship, choose the partner willing to pay his or her fair share.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll attract partners readily with your outgoing show of affection, your generosity and your exciting portrayal of the lifestyle you live. Be prepared to engage in challenges that will encourage proof that you are as charismatic as you lead everyone to believe. The spotlight will be on you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll be torn between what you want and what you know is best for you. Take heart in knowing that doing what’s right will encourage a stable future with someone who will be as supportive as you are, not someone you will have to carry along.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You won’t have to do much to attract serious partners. Participation in events or functions will give you the platform you need to strut your stuff and show your class and sophistication. Expect to encounter suitors capable of handling your demands and living up to your expectations. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The glitzy splash someone makes may tempt you, but in the end it will also turn into a disappointment. Somewhere in the background, you will spot a rare but beautiful being with substance and clarity that will be settling and more inviting than you ever thought possible.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Keep moving and you’ll soon find out which potential partner can keep up with you. If you don’t feel challenged, you will lose interest quickly, leaving you in an awkward position. Don’t settle for less or you’ll be stuck trying to figure out a way to backtrack. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Be careful what you wish for. Excitement and unpredictability may tempt you, but in the end you’ll be cleaning up after someone, and that is bound to become tiresome. Consider someone unique and different from you but just as practical when it comes to love, money and health.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The person who shares your concerns and collaborates with you to come up with feasible ways to succeed in life will capture your heart. Search for an experienced individual with the ability to keep your relationship fresh, experimental and unpredictable enough to keep life interesting. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Make sure you know what you are getting yourself into before you say yes to someone’s advances. Becoming a chameleon or giving in too much in the beginning will be a disaster as time passes by. Show your true colors and refuse to let chemistry conquer you.
