Elderly housing in Cobbs Hill
Rochester is a lovely city in many ways: we have a strong sense of community, beautiful landscapes and parks. However, we are also facing significant challenges that we need to come together to solve – including a lack of affordable housing. That’s why it’s important that we fully support the redevelopment of an affordable housing community that has been helping to meet this need for some 60 years – Cobbs Hill Village. I am very familiar with the nonprofit that operates this affordable housing complex, Rochester Management, Inc., which has an exemplary track record in developing and managing housing communities for low-income families. As president and CEO of the not-for-profit PathStone Corporation, I understand the hard work and dedication that goes into the development of below-market housing, and the profound ways it can help improve the lives of residents. Cobbs Hill Village serves a segment of Rochester’s population that should not be overlooked: its senior citizens. Rochester Management’s redevelopment plans for the property will increase the number of below-market affordable rental units in Rochester and create high-quality senior housing for generations to come. Our seniors deserve safe, quality, affordable homes. As we think about how to expand affordable housing in Rochester, it makes sense to start with how we can improve and expand existing property that’s already zoned and readied for it. It is evident to anyone who visits the current Cobbs Hill Village, which was built in 1957, that is it in dire need of redevelopment. Following its initial modernization plans, Rochester Management has 2 CITY

worked tirelessly with residents, neighbors, city officials, and other concerned parties to accommodate expressed concerns regarding the redevelopment. Based on the input gathered at those meetings, it has revised its plans for everything from the planned height and number of the buildings to the type of stone and color scheme adorning the buildings’ exteriors. By working in concert with residents, neighbors, city officials, and other community members, Rochester Management has vastly improved its modernization plans. Now is the time to move forward toward final approval and redevelopment of this extraordinarily valuable resource for the seniors who call Cobbs Hill their village. STUART J. MITCHELL
Over many years, City News has enriched my urban experience by publishing both in depth and briefer news items, but I found the recent News from the Week Past a disappointment in reporting on the submission of a revised plan for Cobbs Hill Village. Although the gist of the brief report was correct, the “spin” was decidedly out of touch. Here are some of the facts. A new plan has been submitted by Rochester Management to build five new buildings with 98 apartments in Cobbs Hill Village, which is totally surrounded by Cobbs Hill Park. After they tear down the existing low-rent, single-story apartments for the elderly, two of the new buildings will have three stories immediately next to Norris Drive, rising over the park trees, beside the new children’s playground and basketball courts. The article reports that “some of the residents in the area” have opposed the $25 million project. The fact is, a Coalition for Cobbs Hill Park has been in existence for a year. It is made up of the Tenants Association of the Village, as well as multiple neighborhood groups, environmental groups (including Sierra Club), and the Elder Justice Committee of Metro Justice. This is hardly just “some residents” who oppose the out-of-proportion new plans. There is widespread opposition to Rochester Management’s
presumption that the project should be approved because, as they say, they “have made some costly concessions to the original plan based on community input.” The fact is, the Coalition never approved Rochester Management’s plans and is fighting to preserve the unobtrusive, very-low-cost senior’s Village, which is causing no harm to the park and which offers limited income seniors a fine place to live.

Trump and the Dems’ future
On Urban Journal’s “Donald Trump’s America: Just What Voters Wanted”: I continue to think that Trump’s simple, clear, repetitive, authoritarian promise to bring back jobs, to make the deal, was a “yoozh” factor in his Electoral College win. I agree that for many white men (and even women), a female president following a black president was just too much. Especially for white, working-class men without jobs – but not only. Hillary – though the “best” nominee ever, according to President Obama – was probably not the “right” woman. Too bold, too elitist, too much baggage (especially when trumped by Trump ad nauseum). Although I didn’t support Joe Biden, I do think he would have won against Trump, since he is such a folksy, affable guy with a working-class background. Why should one have to be folksy to become president? I don’t think that Trump will resign from boredom; too much power to lose. But if the ACLU and other lawsuits are successful and he has to distance himself from some of his much-loved $$$, he might resign. As for the next Democratic presidential nominee… I wonder. Elizabeth Warren is terrific but too bold to be elected. Bernie is a Democratic Socialist, which probably precludes him. Right-wing Republicans would instantly drop Democratic from Socialist and scare too many voters. Joe Biden? How old is he now? Or a left-leaning, moderate woman like Senator Amy Klobuchar from Minnesota? Or? KAY WALLACE

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
The State of Our County: divided and complacent Has anybody ever given a State of… address (State of the Union, the County, the City) and really leveled with us? Locally, these speeches have become less a “State of…” assessment than a “Here’s What I’ve Done for You” list. So Cheryl Dinolfo’s State of the County address last week was no departure from the norm. Dinolfo talked about the expansion of the airport and the zoo, job creation, our festivals, our golf courses, her enthusiasm about the pending arrival of Uber and Lyft, her new name for the county’s Industrial Development Agency (“Imagine Monroe”). She talked about her vision for the county. She talked about keeping the promises she made when she took office a little over a year ago: “First and foremost: my promise to keep property taxes flat.” And she announced an initiative that’s worth applauding: a new job recruitment and training program that, if successful, might help make a dint in the county’s crushing poverty, most of which is concentrated in the city. But as with so many of these speeches, Dinolfo’s State of the County was mostly cheery, boosterish talk, a description of a happy, successful place where problems are overcome with enthusiasm and determination. Well, that’s one portrait of the county, and on the surface, I guess it’s accurate. But below that surface is a harsh reality. We are a starkly segregated community: segregated by race, by income, by political leanings. And at our core are thousands of our neighbors struggling with poverty. Our segregation is strengthened by New York State’s unfortunate system of dividing us into small, separate communities: little towns and villages and hamlets, with a few cities sprinkled around. And so within Monroe County are 19 towns, nine villages, a town-village, the City of Rochester, and 18 school districts, each with their own elected governments. The County Legislature is divided mostly along similar lines, with some legislators representing one or more suburbs, others representing several city neighborhoods, and only three of the 29 representing both city and suburban residents. Since most of the county’s suburban towns are heavily Republican and the city is heavily Democratic, the geographic divisions in the County Legislature are also strongly political ones. And the
For many of the county’s suburban residents, the poverty in the city is the city’s problem, not theirs.” Democrats are so outnumbered in the legislature that Republicans can pretty much ignore them. Geographic divisions can build a sense of community. But they can also lead to insular thinking, a lack of a sense of the common good. For many suburban residents, the poverty in the city is the city’s problem, not theirs. The low success rate of city schools? Not their problem. Childcare needs of low-income families in the city? Legal defense for low-income people accused of crimes? Not their problem. The principal public official elected to represent the entire county, city and suburbs alike, is the county executive. The person in this position could be a leader. In the right hands, the county executive’s position could be one that pulled all of us together to tackle our most serious problem: a poverty level that is one of the country’s worst. But that’s not happening. The State of this County? We’re a divided, myopic, complacent community. Our poverty level’s severity, its longevity, its urban concentration, and its impacts – in education, in crime, in health problems, in economic vitality – are deadly serious. And they’re a threat to the county’s future. I did find a little glimmer of hope in Dinolfo’s focus on job training. But so much of her speech was happy talk. There was no sense of crisis, no warning of the human destruction that poverty causes, and the threat it presents. It will take all of us, acting together, to address that threat. Somebody has to inspire us to do that, and the ideal leader is a key elected official like Dinolfo. Sadly, she shows no sign that she sees that as her role. rochestercitynewspaper.com

County races take shape
Former Greece police chief Todd Baxter announced his plan to run for sheriff as a Democrat. Baxter, a lifelong Republican, has changed his party registration. He’ll take on sitting Monroe County Sheriff Patrick O’Flynn. Democrats also announced that former Howard Maffucci, former East Rochester schools superintendent, will run for the County Legislature seat currently held by Republican Anthony Daniele, who’s leaving due to term limits. The seat covers parts of Pittsford, East Rochester, and Brighton. Republicans were set to select their candidate early this week.
New I-Square quarrel develops
I-Square owners found themselves in yet another dispute with local governments over tax incentives. Mike and Wendy Nolan wanted the Town of Irondequoit, the East Irondequoit School District, and Monroe County to agree to eliminate certain construction milestone requirements for I-Square, standards they say no other local projects are held to. Officials wouldn’t agree, and in a May 12 Face-

City schools’ budget nears $900 million
The Rochester school board approved an $883 million budget for the 2017-2018 school year. The budget provides for an increase in social workers and reading teachers. While all seven board members voted in favor of the budget, Vice President Cynthia Elliott, said she was concerned that the budget has steadily increased over the years without resulting in significant academic improvement. The budget still needs City Council’s approval.
SUNY Geneseo will oversee city’s School 19
The Rochester school board also approved a plan that allows SUNY Geneseo to manage School 19, a K-8 school. The partnership is similar to the University of Rochester’s management of East High School. If the state approves of the partnership, School 19 will receive $2.5 million over five years from the state to help improve student achievement.

POLITICS | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
Dems ready to choose candidates In what could be a fractious convention, Monroe County Democrats will gather on May 18 to designate their party’s candidates for the November general election. On their list: Rochester mayor, City Council, School Board, sheriff, City Court, and an eastside County Legislature seat. While some positions aren’t being hotly contested, the big city races – mayor, Council, and school board – are. Mayor Lovely Warren will go to the convention with enough support to win the Democrats’ designation. But County Legislator Jim Sheppard
and former television reporter Rachel Barnhart are already planning to challenge Warren in a Democratic primary in September. More than a dozen people have been seeking the Democrats’ designation for the five at-large City Council seats. Four already have enough support to be chosen in the convention’s first round of voting: incumbents Loretta Scott, Jackie Ortiz, and Dana Miller and school board member Malik Evans, who wants to move to City Council. The voting fight for the fifth spot could be tense, however. Council’s sole
LGBTQ representative, Matt Haag, isn’t seeking re-election, and some committee members want Rochester teacher Matt Juda to replace him. Others are pushing respected former County Legislator Willie J. Lightfoot. Only one of the six candidates for the three school board seats, legislative district committee leader Beatriz Lebron, has gained enough support to be guaranteed the designation at the convention. Both incumbents seeking re-election – Cynthia Elliott and board president Van White – will have to try to win the designation Thursday.

Rush is a rural community that outsiders sometimes fail to recognize as a distinct place. Town officials are hoping to change that by focusing some attention and effort on the hamlet, a village-like area at the community’s center.
NEIGHBORHOODS | BY JEREMY MOULE
Rush wants to define its identity Suburbs often talk up their rural-style charms: their houses aren’t packed quite as tightly as in the city, their parks and open spaces are airier than their urban equivalents, and things are generally quieter. Some suburbs still have working farms in their borders. But the Town of Rush doesn’t just feel rural, it is rural, mostly. The houses are spread out, often separated by fields or a few hundred feet of lawn, not just strips of grass or fences. The town of around 3,500 people also has a smattering of farms, greenhouses, and other agricultural operations. Ag uses about 39 percent of the town’s 19,989 acres, according to a 2015 Monroe County report. And at the heart of the town is the Hamlet of Rush, a village-like place along a mile or so of Route 251. Town officials want to get residents’ ideas for the area’s future, so they’ve arranged for a June 10 charrette and have brought in the Community Design Center Rochester to help prepare for and lead it. “The goal is to provide that opportunity and gather that input so that we have information to then guide the direction of the town,” says Rush Supervisor Cathy Frank.

EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
‘What we’re doing in schools isn’t working’ Pedro Noguera began a Ted Talk presentation a few years ago by posing a question parents, teachers, and policy makers have been asking for years: “Why is it that educating children in America has become so hard?” Noguera, a researcher and UCLA education professor, gives a sharp response: “We have made this much more difficult than it should be,” Noguera says. The problem is not that we don’t know how to teach children, Noguera says. There’s plenty of research showing what works with every type of child, regardless of their needs. “The problem is the way we treat children, the types of schools we’ve created, and the policies we’ve enacted that drive education,” he says. “We have lots of evidence that what we’ve been doing as a nation isn’t working.” Noguera is the author and co-author of several books, including “City Schools and the American Dream: Reclaiming the Promise of Public Education” and “Excellence through Equity.” The latter is the theme of a community event hosted by the University of Rochester on Thursday, June 1, where Noguera will be the keynote speaker. The event, which will be held at East High School at 6 p.m., is free and open to the public. Much of Noguera’s research has focused
on how social and economic conditions impact learning. He’s devoted particular attention to children living in poor neighborhoods, mostly children of color enrolled in low-performing schools. Though he agrees that many of these schools in cities all across the country are failing, particularly at educating young black males, he parts company with the education reformers who believe that poverty doesn’t matter and schools should be able to do the job. “No Child Left Behind did a good job of illuminating where there were problems in public education, exposing the gaps in achievement that we now know are pervasive,” Noguera said in a recent telephone interview. “But what it didn’t do was support the schools on how to close those gaps.” The strongest indicator of how a child will do in school is family income, he said. And, he said: “When you combine family income with parental education – how much education the parents have – that’s the strongest driver of student outcome.” 6 CITY
MAY 17-23, 2017
So instead of asking how we hold teachers accountable or how we close the achievement gap, we should be asking different questions, Noguera said. “How do we create schools where a child’s race or class does not predict how well they will do?” he said. “I think the mistake we’ve made is to blame teachers and not look at whether those schools have the adequate resources to meet the needs of their students.” Put another way: How do we create equity for every student and every school? “The only thing that is going to lead to more equity is high quality schools,” he said. In “Urban Schools and the Black Male ‘Challenge,’” one of his papers, he debunks the idea, a favorite of reformers, that schools alone can mitigate the impact poverty has on children through rigorous instruction. He cites a 10-year study from the University of Chicago that examined the typical No Child Left Behind reform formula: closing failing schools and making massive investments in technology and professional development. The researchers found that “problems related to poverty – crime, substance abuse, child neglect, unmet health needs, housing shortages, interpersonal violence and so forth – were largely ignored,” Noguera writes. And the results, in the form of academic improvement, were limited. Noguera isn’t anti-charter school, and he knows that Rochester has some high-performing charter schools. But on average, the student outcomes for most charter schools are not that different from traditional public schools, he said in the telephone interview. “The kids that are most disadvantaged often aren’t in those high-performing charter schools,” he said. “You have kids that are homeless and in foster care, and these kids require more services.” And if charter schools continue to proliferate at their current rate, they will leave traditional public schools with the most expensive and challenging students to educate, he said. Poor children living in poor neighborhoods are still going to be segregated by race and class, he said.
Pedro Noguera: “The mistake we’ve made is to blame teachers.” PROVIDED PHOTO
“The effects of poverty show up at
childbirth and even before, when the mother is pregnant,” Noguera said. “We can support schools with a comprehensive array of services that include things like mentors, social workers, parent education, and other supports.” The Harlem Children’s Zone in New York City, with its wrap-around care for low-income children and families, is the best model of this, he said. “It’s shown that you get much better results with these supports,” he said. “What I think we need is a more comprehensive approach, where we’re thinking of partnering not just with universities, but hospitals, nonprofit agencies, and churches to help schools address some of the issues around poverty that schools can’t handle by themselves.” Noguera’s talk coincides with the Rochester school board’s decision to enter into a partnership with SUNY Geneseo to manage School 19. The relationship would be similar to the one the board entered into with the UR’s Warner School of Education and East High. The hope for the partnerships is that by bringing the right combination of resources into the schools, some of which specifically address poverty, student performance will improve.
The challenge for Rochester, Noguera said, “is figuring out how to do this for the greatest number of schools.” Noguera isn’t timid talking about the higher costs involved in educating poor children in comparison to suburban children from middle and upper-income households. It does cost more money, he said. “On the face of it, it would seem like Rochester is well-financed,” he said. “It has higher than average teacher salaries and per-pupil spending that is much higher than in many other cities. However, most of the money is not going to issues that address poverty. There is still a shortage of social workers, and there’s still a shortage of high-quality pre-school and after-school programs.” It’s great that organizations like the UR can bring some of its resources to a school like East High, Noguera said. But the issue that the Rochester school district is facing is one that many districts across the country still end up facing: what about the other schools? “You know we live in a country that’s still rich,” Noguera said. “If we’re creative about how we make resources available to our neediest schools, we could do a much better job of helping to compensate for the effects of poverty.”

The Public Market neighborhood will have a new resident this month with the opening of Boxcar (formerly Boxcar Donuts), a new venture by the owners of Glen Edith Coffee Roasters. More than two years in the making, Boxcar is turning its doughnut business into a full-scale eatery with the opening of its new location (127 Railroad Street) on Saturday, May 20. The business got its start when Glen Edith co-owner John Ebel grew tired of sourcing the coffee bar’s baked goods from third-party suppliers. “We were spending a fortune on pastries,” Ebel says. Inspired by the flamboyant, over-the-top doughnuts popping up in major cities like New York and Los Angeles, Ebel decided try his hand at those big, bold delicacies. Test batch by test batch, the team at Glen Edith worked toward perfecting its doughnut formula which,

Boxcar Pastry Chef Rae Cody says, must balance a slightly chewy texture with delicate air pockets and a not-too-oily exterior. Once the Glen Edith team landed on the recipe, they began selling doughnuts out of Glen Edith’s locations on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. With attention-grabbing flavors like maple-bacon and Fruity Pebbles, the doughnuts began selling like … well, hot cakes. As the doughnut renaissance gained momentum nationwide, it became clear that the pastry business would need some room to grow. About two years ago, Ebel leased the space at 127 Railroad Street, next door to Rohrbach Brewing and within sight of the Public Market. The three co-owners — Ebel, Michael Beinetti, and Marc LeBeau — acknowledge
that they’ve had something of a “long runway” on their way to launching Boxcar, but their concept has evolved over the intervening two years. What began as a doughnut and coffee shop has gradually developed into an eclectic day-to-night café with sweet and savory offerings and a range of alcoholic drinks. Along the way, the founders dropped “Donuts” from the company name — a move to better reflect their offerings beyond the fried dough. The owners have created four “pillars” for Boxcar: the original doughnuts, coffee (roasted by Glen Edith), beer and spirits, and fried chicken. Though the addition of fried chicken to the menu may seem like curveball, the Boxcar team says it’s more logical than it seems, given that they’ve already got the
fryers in place for the doughnuts. Head Chef Brennan Cody hints that fried pig ears could make an appearance on the menu. “If you want it fried, we can fry it,” he jokingly says. Boxcar will also have a kids’ menu and vegan and vegetarian options, says General Manager Paige Auber. Ebel says that neighboring businesses have been extremely supportive of the new venture, and several collaborations are already in the works, such as beer macaroni and cheese with Rohrbach Brewing, and boozy doughnuts with help from Black Button. The team at Boxcar hopes the new location will give them to a little room to breathe and an opportunity to push the envelope. The shop plans to offer a dozen doughnut flavors at a time, which will change periodically. Expect offbeat offerings like s’mores and champagne pop rocks, and purists can find glazed and cinnamon sugar. Savory options are on the menu, too: every combo plate will come with a cornbread doughnut. The larger space will also give Boxcar the opportunity to expand its catering business. The current trend in doughnut walls — a vertical buffet made of pegboard and adorned with doughnuts — has been a boon to Boxcar, especially as wedding season ramps up, and Ebel says, Boxcar has also been approached about corporate events. rochestercitynewspaper.com

‘Songs of the Soul’ FRIDAY, MAY 19 THIRD PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, 4 MEIGS STREET 8 P.M. | $5-$18 | 230-2894; MADRIGALIA.ORG [ CLASSICAL ] Charles Ives’s choral works are not as well-known
as his orchestral and chamber music, but they offer just as many challenges and delights to attentive listeners. Madrigalia’s performance of Ives’s Psalm 90 is a highlight of their concerts this weekend, titled “Songs of the Soul.” The program is an imaginative collection of settings of texts from the Book of Psalms, covering a full range of emotions. Besides Ives, the composers include Bobby McFerrin, Howard Hanson, and Alan Hovhaness. Madrigalia will be joined by Cordancia Chamber Orchestra and cantor Keri Lopatin Berger, all led by the choir’s artistic director and conductor, Cary Ratcliff. This concert will repeat Sunday, May 21, 4 p.m., at Temple Beth El, 139 South Winton Road. Pre-concert chat 45 minutes before each concert. — BY DAVID RAYMOND

The 1975 TUESDAY, MAY 23 MAIN STREET ARMORY, 900 EAST MAIN STREET 7:30 P.M. | $35 | MAINSTREETARMORY.COM; THE1975.COM. [ POP ] While The 1975 may initially read as just the latest in
a long line of British teen heartthrob exports, the Manchesterbased band have quite a bit of nuance to offer. Its latest record, 2016’s “I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It” bears a great deal of substance beneath its cumbersome title. Songs like “Love Me” and “The Sound” are gloriously extroverted tracks that sound like Culture Club and Duran Duran shot through with the perfect dose of The Killers’ absurdity. This is pop music at some of its finest, where every clumsy romance is a matter of life and death and every drunken evening is a spiritual episode waiting to happen. Pale Waves and Colouring also perform. — BY ALEXANDER JONES
In The Sea WEDNESDAY, MAY 24 BOP SHOP RECORDS, 1460 MONROE AVENUE 8 P.M. | $20 DONATION; $10 STUDENTS | BOPSHOP.COM. [ JAZZ ] In The Sea is definitely not a typical jazz trio. First, there
is the instrumentation: Tristan Honsinger on cello; Nicolas Caloia, double bass; and Joshua Zubot, violin. But don’t expect chamber music (well, maybe something a little like Béla Bartók or John Cage). In The Sea is steeped in the tradition of collective improvisation. Its members have played with some of the top avant-garde musicians in Europe and America, including Misha Mengelberg, Han Bennink, Peter Brotzmann, Cecil Taylor, and Marshall Allen. At the Bop Shop, the group will share with the audience a spirit of adventure. — BY RON NETSKY

and Grille, 109 East Ave. 2326000. templebarandgrille.com. 10 p.m.
Margaret Explosion seems to pull songs out of the air. No pre-planning; no script. The music plays them, and what’s left is a perfect in-the-moment moment for this purely live band playing songs we’ll never hear again. It is sexy and cool to the max. And just remember: “sensuous” wasn’t reserved just for the loins. On “Civilization,” however, Margaret Explosion had a little studio fun. The basic tracks are still improvised, but they’re left open at one end to make room for another set of layers. There’s stereophonic panning so severe in spots you may fall out of your chair. And the guitar is prominent as the soprano sax snakes and undulates through. It’s trippy in the extreme. It’s darkness at the end of the tunnel. It’s heady, and it’s beautiful. Adding to the finality, the band has announced that guitarist Bob Martin is leaving the group and Rochester, for that matter. It’s quite a loss — ironic, really. It’s an end for a band that played songs with no end. “Civilization” is now that end. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

“Rumbler” Origin Records billanschell.com
Pianist and composer Bill Anschell is based in Seattle, and that’s probably why you’ve never heard of him. “Rumbler,” the new album by Anschell, a major player on the Northwestern jazz scene, should go a long way toward remedying that situation. With odd and shifting time signatures, engaging compositions, and well-chosen covers, Anschell presents a striking musical statement. He’s nicely supported by the members of his trio, Chris Symer on bass, and drummer Jose Martinez, and a host of guest artists. Guitarist Brian Monroney, the most prominent guest, contributes several styles of solos, including an unlikely rock take on Anschell’s re-imagining of Thelonious Monk’s “Misterioso.” Jeff Coffin, Richard Cole, and Hans Teuber all contribute excellent saxophone solos, with Teuber throwing some alto flute into the mix. Jeff Busch enhances the already complex percussion on a couple of cuts. Anschell is an understated pianist — no pyrotechnics here — and sometimes that’s a refreshing change. He’s more likely to impress with intelligence as he does on the playfully Bach-like “Heisenberg’s Fugue State.” — BY RON NETSKY

Don’t mind the generation gap [ FEATURE ] BY FRANK DE BLASE
nobody’s marigold FACEBOOK.COM/NOBODYSMARIGOLD
Musicians Roy Stein and April Laragy have been rolling around the Rochester rock scene for years, making noise in several impactful bands. Stein was the drummer in the brooding new wave act New Math in the late 1970’s and The Jet Black Berries in the early 1980’s. Together Stein and Laragy played in the accordion and guitar force of danger The Raw Magillys, and in The Atomic Swindlers, a Bowie-esque, space cowboy affair. More recently, Stein produced and played in the epic, atmospheric, pop sensation My Plastic Sun. Last year, The Raw Magillys staged a short lived comeback, and the fans went wild. “Our guitar player, Sue, came up from Florida,” Stein says. “We were hoping she could stay around a little longer, but she couldn’t.” Stein and Laragy were itching to play. “We still wanted to do stuff and keep playing together,” Stein says.” So we started fishing around for musicians.” But it wasn’t with Craigslist, or by poaching players from other bands, or through flyers posted in music store doorways; all Stein needed to do was keep his ear to the ground at Nazareth College, where he is the director of the music business 12 CITY MAY 17-23, 2017
program. How advantageous … you’d think. Stein waxes ambivalent: “There’s no advantage. There is no disadvantage,” he says. “You just look for musicians that have a common interest. And obviously, you look for musicians that are good players.” One of the talented young players that came onto Stein’s radar was 20-year-old bassist Aubrey Baldauf, who has a background in bluegrass and folk. She doesn’t differentiate the styles she loves with the unique, loud rock mash-up she currently plays with nobody’s marigold. “It’s not really a far stretch,” Baldauf says. “They have the same foundation.” To Baldauf, the advantages to working with seasoned musicians like Stein and Laragy — ages have been withheld after Laragy threatened me with a knife — along with veteran guitarist Jeff Gilhart (of the band Backseat Sally) were apparent. “There are a ton of advantages,” she says. “They’re all well-established, it’s so easy to get the ball rolling. It’s great to play with musicians that are so competent. I’m in another band that’s all students, and I love it, but we don’t do as much. We’re not recording. We’re not releasing singles. We’re not playing out as much.” While nobody’s marigold are in a studio instead of a classroom, Stein is still a teacher. But he tries to leave that aspect out. “I turn it off,” he says. “At least, I think I turn
it off. It’s my role to enable people to be what they want to be. We’re band members, but we’re friends first. I don’t want to be in a band with people unless I want to hang with them. I’m too old for that — I don’t need that.” So with a minimal backstory and discussion of the disparate ages of its members, it all comes down to the music of nobody’s marigold. The band is rough-tracking songs now in the recording studio at Nazareth as the members hone their chops and the songs take shape. The band’s soon-to-be-released single, “Big Red Fire Truck,” has the same wicked giddy-up that the Magillys blasted out witsh its glam-rock psychedelia, forging an accelerated, muscular Americana not unlike Jason and the Scorchers. Gilhart’s guitar is an unrelenting kick in the balls. Laragy’s dangerously dynamic vocal drama is shared with singer-saxophonist Ignatius Marino, whose voice is simply incredible in its lengthy range, tone, and haphazard rock ‘n’ roll phrasing. Stein does take a back seat until he mounts the drum throne, then it’s all boss beats and hooks. The band isn’t necessarily captain-less: it’s just that in Stein’s experience, it’s better to capitalize on the collective talent. He doesn’t tell the younger contingency how or what to play. “To me,” he says, “these are really competent musicians. The thing I like about playing with younger musicians is the optimism. They’re not cynical.”

INDIE ROCK | KEVIN DEVINE
Although New York City-based singer-songwriter Kevin Devine has been active since around 2002, he’s still operating at a staggering blink-and-you’ll-miss-it pace. From the literate introspection of 2003’s “Make the Clocks Move” to 2009’s fantastically cerebral “Brother’s Blood,” Devine has been juggling the personal and the political fast enough that they’ve blurred together seamlessly. On his latest LP, “Instigator,” tracks like “No Why,” “Magic Magnet,” and “Both Ways” surge with beer-raising indie-rock triumph while still coexisting effortlessly with the more contemplative “Freddie Gray Blues” and “No One Says You Have To.” A true musical renaissance man, it’s amazing that after all these years there’s still no telling what Devine will offer next.

[ COUNTRY ] CLASSICAL | SCMR WITH JON NAKAMATSU
BLUES | LYRIC THEATRE BLUES BASH
The Society for Chamber Music in Rochester concludes its 40th season with a concert featuring its artist-in-residence, pianist Jon Nakamatsu, a Rochester favorite. In the first half, Nakamatsu will take part in two works which, though not exactly new, have never been performed at SCMR concerts: “Morceau de Salon” for oboe and piano by 19th century Czech composer Jan Kalliwoda, with SCMR Co-Artistic Director Erik Behr; and Haydn’s Piano Trio No. 44, with violinist Co-Artistic Director Juliana Athayde and cellist David Ying. Violist Phillip Ying then joins the trio members for Brahms’s Piano Quartet No. 1. The evening starts (after a pre-concert chat with the participants at 7 p.m.) with the Hochstein Piano Trio performing the opening movement of Mendelssohn’s D Minor Piano Trio. And continuing a pleasant SCMR tradition, which I hope goes into its 41st season, there will be a wine tasting at intermission.
A low down, five-pronged attack, the Lyric Theatre will present its first Blues Bash on Saturday, with Steve Grills and the Roadmasters at 3:30 p.m.; Joe Beard at 4:30 p.m.; The Alexis P. Suter Band at 6 p.m.; Tad Robinson at 7:30 p.m.; and Dave Specter at 9 p.m. Now, they’re treating this like five concerts in one. You can pop in to see the band you want for $20, or drop $50 on a “Bash Pass” and dig the whole affair from start to finish in this beautiful, under-used venue.
Jon Nakamatsu will perform with the Society for Chamber Music in Rochester on Friday, May 19, at Hochstein, 50 North Plymouth Avenue. 7:30 p.m. $35 general; students free with ID. chambermusicrochester.org. — BY DAVID RAYMOND

Errol Daniels’ “TransAmericans” photo exhibit (a segment of which is pictured) is on view at Gallery Q through May 26. PHOTO PROVIDED
Transcending boundaries “TransAmericans” PHOTOGRAPHY BY ERROL DANIELS THROUGH MAY 26 GALLERY Q, GAY ALLIANCE OF THE GENESEE VALLEY, 100 COLLEGE AVENUE MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, 9 A.M. TO 5 P.M.; TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY UNTIL 8 P.M. FREE | 244-8640; GAYALLIANCE.ORG [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
Though transgender and non-binary identities have deep roots in human history, we still grapple with allowing people to pursue their authentic selves, and understanding them as a valid part of the spectrum of humanity. Photographer Errol Daniels’ important photo series “TransAmericans” is currently on view at the Gay Alliance’s Gallery Q. Through intimate portraits of trans and non-binary individuals, the show positions daily life — work, home, and relationships — as an entry point for relating to people with various gender identities. “TransAmericans” is a series of clustered, informal portraits of people, most of which are presented with statements by the subjects. It includes trans men and women and nonbinary people of all ages, presenting what is similar or unique to different generations’ experiences. In this project, what is being said is as important as visibility. “Generally, my projects are about people whose lives are complex and are challenged 16 CITY MAY 17 - 23, 2017
by physical, social, mental, or political disadvantages,” Daniels says in a provided statement. Some of his other projects have centered on people re-entering society after incarceration, the Havana Santeria and Cuban-Jewish communities in Cuba, war in Uganda, and Burma’s struggle for democracy. And his roots in documentary photography go back to the 1960’s, when he worked within the Civil Rights Movement in Chicago. “I try to reveal the dignity, humanity, and courage of people who many don’t think about in their daily lives,” Daniels says. “For transgender individuals, the time before, during, and after physical transformation comes with many challenges.” But even after discovering more comfort in their selfexpression and identity, they still experience alarmingly high rates of violence, assault, abuse, and discrimination, he says. Provided info states that the US Office for Victims of Crime reports that an estimated 50 percent of transgender individuals are assaulted at some point in their lives. Daniels says his goal is “to chisel through these statistics and show the humanity behind them. Transgender individuals go through a unique process of self-realization, but they are regular people who face the same challenges, fears, and ambitions as cisgender individuals.” In the statements that accompany the photographs, many of Daniels’ subjects speak of hardship and resilience; story after story includes the post-coming-out alienation
they’ve experienced from parents, siblings, spouses, and children, and losses of careers and church communities. Troy Stover was raised in a strict Roman Catholic household, and felt pressured to marry and have children. “I always felt like I was one of those people who fell off of God’s assembly line and was just, like, hastily put back on,” they say. Stover spent five years in the Marines and had a family, but their coming out led to a bitter divorce and the loss of any relationship with their children. But after a period of what they refer to as “black nights” of grief, Stover began to build their true self from the void: “Having nothing left to lose was the perfect place for me to start living,” they say. Another subject, Bridget O’Neill, is early in her transition, and says that she relates to teenage girls who take tons of selfies. The transitioning process is often described as going through a second puberty, she says. “You don’t have a stable sense of who you are yet, what your relationship is to your body. There is something reassuring about seeing pictures (particularly flattering ones) of yourself; it makes my identity more real for me.” Other people express the acceptance and love they’ve received. While members of Diana Patton’s family were unaccepting of her transition, she’s received understanding and support from her exwife and from her biker clubs, including the Hells Angels and the Kingsmen. Xanadu Fish, who identifies as bi-gender pansexual, was bullied and pushed out of their neighborhood, but their family life provided a rock. Fish has been married for 14 years to their childhood sweetheart, and their two daughters refer to them as “Xanadad.” Partners Felix Krouse and Florian Alaya Fauna’s path toward self-acceptance has involved the exploration of various occult beliefs. “A noteworthy concept is the ancient and recurring theme of the diving hermaphrodite,” Fauna says. Krouse’s statement reflects on the “alchemical process” of transitioning between genders, and the tendency of people to respond with less hostility to trans men than trans women. This arguably has to do with the raging misogyny in cisnormative circles (people whose gender identity matches the sex that they were assigned at birth), who fail to understand why a man would become a woman. A subtle, side theme of relationships with pets is present in the collection of photographs, which perhaps unsurprisingly shows that animals are better at unreservedly loving people than humans are — we win or lose animals’ regard based solely on our treatment of them.

ART | “UNDERPANTS AND OVERBITES”
Only at the Flower City Comic Con can you attend dressed as Miracle Man, and meet legendary comic artist Joe Jusko, wrestler Jerry Lawler, and the sixth doctor of “Doctor Who” Colin Baker. In its second year, FC3 has managed to pack a roster of guests ranging from media talents such as the red Power Ranger, Austin St. John, and voice actress Trina Nishimura to comic book artists Larry Hama and Bill Anderson.

My Instagram scrolling habit got a lot more amusing after I started following Rochester-based artist Jackie Evangelisti’s autobiographical “Underpants and Overbites: A Diary Comic.” Starring two egg-shaped characters based on Evangelisti and her fiancé Pat, the clever, frequently self-deprecating, and relatable content offers a weekly chuckle about snippets from daily life: stress, love, families, random interactions, and just a sprinkling of existential dread.

“I find making a diary comic to be very therapeutic,” Evangelisti says. “Most often when something disrupts my tiny routine existence, I view it as a challenge to incorporate it into my art. Even if at first it appears disruptive to my life, I might be able to mine that experience for ideas which then help me grow as a comic artist and learn more about myself as a person. It’s a win-win as long as I maintain a positive perspective on it.” Evangelisti’s hand-drawn and watercolor-painted work will be on display at Orange Glory Café (240 East Avenue) from Thursday, May 18, through June 19. An opening reception is scheduled for May 18, from 6 to 8 p.m. The café’s hours are Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Follow the comic and check out some process videos on Instagram at @underpantsandoverbites or underpantsandoverbites.com. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY 7140. dariocomedy.com.

COMEDY | PETE JOHANSSON
THEATER | “RUMBA Y MOJITO PICANTE”
There’s a sly, self-deprecating dig in the title “You Might Also Enjoy Pete Johansson,” the comedian’s 2016 Netflix stand-up special. Johansson has been a consistent, well-regarded touring comedian for almost two decades, and here the title winks at the relative obscurity that many dedicated comics share if they aren’t one of the few A-listers filling big theaters. Johansson doesn’t seem bothered by it, though. Genuine and down-to-earth charming, the Canadian comedian (now living in the UK) comes across like one of your longest, dearest drinking or smoking buddies who lets out an off-hand remark that will make you laugh in the moment but will then make you think once it’s settled in.
Alcohol at a funeral always reveals some new truth. During the wake for their neighbor, el Trino, Cecilia and Julian serve up a new recipe that combines rum and salsa picante, and of course, stories from the crowd come out. Rochester Latino Theatre Company Artistic Director Candide Carrasco’s comedy “Rumba y Mojito Picante” debuted during the 2016 Rochester Fringe Festival, and the original cast — Mary Rizzo, Rubén Gómez, Stephanie Paredes, and Elena Goldfeder — return this weekend for a new production at MuCCC. The bilingual (English and Spanish) show touches on racism, homophobia, and conservatism, and how those views can impact a community.
Pete Johansson will perform Thursday, May 18, through Saturday, May 20, at The Comedy Club, 2235 Empire Boulevard, Webster. 7:30 p.m. on Thursday; 7:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. $7-$15. www. thecomedyclub.club; petejohansson.com. — BY JAKE CLAPP

Charlie Hunnam in “King Arthur: Legend of the Sword.” PHOTO COURTESY WARNER BROS.
The world doesn’t really need another retelling of Arthurian legend. But if we’ve got no choice in the matter, at least this one offers a scrappy, street-level epic seen through the hyperactive eyes of “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels” director Guy Ritchie. At least that’s what I attempted to tell myself before heading into “King Arthur: Legend of the Sword.” I mean, a medieval adventure by way of a London crime flick sounds pretty fun, and the film’s marketing looked nutty enough that I figured if nothing else, it wouldn’t be boring. For a time, it seemed the film may deliver on its potential. It begins with a prologue showing us how King Uther (Eric Bana) waged war against the forces of the evil wizard Mordred, only to be betrayed by his power-hungry brother,
Vortigern (Jude Law). Vortigern stages a bloody coup, which Uther’s young son, Arthur, alone survives when the king sends him off down the river, Moses-style. From there, we get a fast-paced montage — which is actually a lot of fun — of Arthur (Charlie Hunnam) growing up on the streets. But in short order, Ritchie’s trademark rough-and-tumble style is abandoned, leaving us with a distressingly generic, straightforward King Arthur origin story. Ritchie takes some liberties with the legend, but hits the major beats: Excalibur, Lady in the Lake, Round Table, blah blah blah. With nothing else to distinguish the story, it all feels rather rote. Once Arthur’s true lineage is revealed, he’s drafted into a rag-tag band of rebels led by Djimon Hounsou and Aidan Gillen, who recruit him to be the leader of their would-be revolution to take back the kingdom. These side characters get nicknames like Goosefat Bill and Kung-Fu George, but silly names aside, none of them register. Not even the lone female of any significance: a mage (Astrid Bergès-Frisbey), who feels like the writers’ attempt to balance out the fact that almost every other woman on screen is there only to be used as a bargaining chip and/or sacrificed to make one of the male characters feel sad. Hunnam makes for a bland (though very pretty) hero; the actor can be great in the right role, but he continues to struggle to find parts that capitalize on his talents. He was quite good in “The Lost City of Z,” but here he gets lost amid the chaos. As Vortigern, Jude Law gets to chew scenery, even if he lets his guyliner do most of the heavy lifting.
The film has its inventive touches — Vortigern’s counsel of slimy, Ursula-esque sea witches is pretty nifty, but thanks to the film’s murky CGI and incomprehensibly-edited action sequences, nothing has any weight. Vortigern even transforms into a computer-generated Frank Frazetta illustration in battle, an artistic choice that deprives us of any flesh-and-blood sword fighting. Warner Brothers hoped “Legend of the Sword” would kick-start a Ritchie-helmed, six-film King Arthur franchise, but the movie’s deadly opening weekend box office suggests that might not be in the cards. Based on the film we got, it’s for the best that those next chapters remain unwritten. On the plus side, now the director has more time to make that “Man From U.N.C.L.E.” sequel.
“Norman: The Moderate Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer” (R), DIRECTED BY JOSEPH CEDAR OPENS FRIDAY, MAY 19
Richard Gere and Lior Ashkenazi in “Norman: The Moderate Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer.” PHOTO COURTESY SONY PICTURES CLASSICS
Film Previews Full film reviews available at rochestercitynewspaper.com.
Richard Gere stars as Norman Oppenheimer, the hero of Joseph Cedar’s mordantly funny fable “Norman: The Moderate Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer.” Norman calls himself a businessman, but his real trade is making connections. Fueled by a desperate desire to be a success (or even better, to be seen as one), Norman is quick with a favor, hoping that the resulting goodwill might pay off down the road, at which point he can come to collect. When fate crosses his path with that of a low-level Israeli diplomat named Micha Eshel (Lior Ashkenazi), Norman ingratiates himself, showing the man a little generosity just when he needs it most. The film flashes forward three years: Eshel is now Israel’s Prime Minister, and much to Norman’s surprise, his kindness hasn’t been forgotten. It seems all that wheeling and dealing has finally paid off; all he has to do is not screw it up. Norman’s attempts to weasel his way back into Eshel’s life eventually spiral into an international scandal, though the how’s and why’s that lead there are a bit muddled. But it involves Norman’s lawyer nephew (Michael Sheen), his rabbi (Steve Buscemi), and a government official (Charlotte Gainsbourg) who takes a curious interest in Norman’s business affairs. Through it all, Gere is terrific: pathetic and oddly touching as a man who wants nothing more than to prove his own worth. Visit rochestercitynewspaper.com on Friday for additional film coverage, including a review of the documentary “Jeremiah Tower: The Last Magnificent.”

Bright bungalow
815 Woodbine Avenue The 1930s bungalow at 815 Woodbine Ave. sits on a double lot that’s configured in a most unusual way. Instead of sitting smack dab in the middle of the lot, the house is sited 100 feet from the street, providing rare seclusion and quietude. A giant weeping tree in front adds to the sense of privacy. A kitchen garden holds garlic and berries. The long driveway leads to a very handsome two-car garage (yes, handsome; that is possible in a garage) with barn doors and loft storage.

The historic 19th Ward is home to early 20th century houses large and small. This home packs a lot of living space into 1,224 square feet. A large three-season porch with classic tongue-and-groove ceiling leads to the generous living-dining room. Tall windows line the entire east side, making it feel even larger. Hardwood floors, oak doors, natural trim and moldings, and glass doorknobs unify the first floor. The dining end of the room is steps from the kitchen and features
includes a jetted tub, pedestal sink, new tile floor and a creative shower curtain rod made of copper tubing. The second floor of this bungalow offers a large landing area that will make a lovely sitting area or walk-in closet. The bedroom is larger still and, despite the sloping roofline, makes even the tallest person comfortable. This can be a delightful master suite.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD
Sweet, Sweet Revenge
It is legal in China to sell electric “building shakers” whose primary purpose apparently is to wreak aural havoc on apartment-dwellers’ unreasonably noisy neighbors. Models sell for the equivalent of $11 to $58 — each with a long pole to rest on the floor, extending ceiling height to an electric motor braced against the shared ceiling or wall and whose only function is to produce a continuous, thumping beat. Shanghaiist.com found one avenger in Shaanxi province who, frustrated by his miscreant neighbor, turned on his shaker and then departed for the weekend. (It was unclear whether he faced legal or other repercussions.)
Can’t Possibly Be True
Mats Jarlstrom is a folk hero in Oregon for his extensive research critical of the short yellow light timed to the state’s red-light cameras, having taken his campaign to TV’s “60 Minutes” and been invited to a transportation engineers’ convention. In January, Oregon’s agency that regulates engineers imposed a $500 fine on Jarlstrom for “practicing engineering” without a state license. (The agency, in fact, wrote that simply using the phrase “I am an engineer” is illegal without a license, even though Jarlstrom has a degree in engineering and worked as an airplane camera mechanic.) He is suing to overturn the fine. Last year, surgeons at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), for only the second time in history, removed a tumor “sitting” on the peanut-sized heart of a fetus while the heart was still
inside the mother’s womb — in essence successfully operating on two patients simultaneously. The Uruguayan mother said her initial reaction upon referral to CHOP’s surgeons was to “start laughing, like what, they do that?” (The baby’s December birth revealed that the tumor had grown back and had to be removed again, except this time, through “ordinary” heart surgery.) The word “Isis” arrived in Western dialogue only after the 2003 invasion of Iraq, as an acronym for the Islamic State, and the Swahili word “Harambe” was known to almost no one until May 2016 when the gorilla “Harambe” (named via a local contest) was put down by a Cincinnati zoo worker after it had dragged an adventurous 3-year-old boy away. In April, a Twitter user and the website Daily Dot happened upon a 19-year-old California restaurant hostess named Isis Harambe Spjut and verified with state offices that a driver’s license (likely backed by a birth certificate) had been issued to her. (“Spjut” is a Scandinavian name.)

Earn $17,500 for two months’ “work” doing nothing at all! France’s space medicine facility near Toulouse is offering 24 openings, paying 16,000 euros each, for people simply to lie in bed continuously for two weeks so it can study the effects of virtual weightlessness. The institute is serious about merely lying there: All bodily functions must be accomplished while keeping at least one shoulder on the bed.
[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 30 ] [ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Charm your way into a romantic adventure. Take more time preparing for events to ensure you stand out. Presentation will make the difference between having someone show interest and having him or her fall head over hills in love with you. A flirtatious and complimentary tete-a-tete is encouraged. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t show emotion when trying to impress someone who interests you. A display of responsibility, intelligence and stability will come across as appealing to a partner who has financial, mental and emotional stability to offer. Present a classy persona, and get the same in return.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your unpredictable nature will be a draw for someone who is free-spirited and eager to try new things. Participate in spur-of-the-moment ideas, and see where they lead. A last-minute vacation will offer all sorts of interesting opportunities to meet someone who has a similar approach to life. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Moody moments will not help you entice someone you find interesting. Being too accommodating, smothering or possessive will attract a needy partner who turns out to be demanding and draining. Be careful what you wish for, and be open about what you want when it comes to love and romance.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Participate in life, and get involved in physical challenges that allow you to show off. Your skills, flair and showmanship will make you a sought-after player when it comes to the game of love. Put your best foot forward, and you’ll have plenty of potential partners to choose from. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your steady pace and tried and true way of formulating, developing and putting your plans into motion will attract someone who is as stable and interested in building a quality life with all the perks. You don’t have to look far if you stick to the events and activities that interest you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your heart will say one thing and your common sense another. Don’t get mixed up with someone emotionally if you can’t see it heading to matrimony. Wasting your time and someone else’s will be costly when you decide the relationship you settled for isn’t right for you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ll attract a chameleon who tries to impress you by mirroring your every whim. Proceed with caution, or you stand the chance of being fooled by someone having ulterior motives that can have a lasting effect on your life emotionally as well as financially. Don’t make promises.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Just keep moving, and you’ll see your fan club forming in your rearview mirror. Choosing someone who looks up to you will hold your interest for only so long. Check out the lone wolf standing on the sidelines ready to challenge -not succumb -- to your whims. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll be drawn to someone’s appearance, but don’t waste your time if there is no mental connection. Chemistry stands the test of time only if it is accompanied with mental stimulation, similar goals and the desire to work together to build a life that satisfies both your needs.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Romance is highlighted and should be a priority when it comes to ironing out any kinks that you might face with someone you are into. Lay down the groundwork for a successful relationship, and you will seal the deal and be able to move forward with a sound romantic plan. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Put your energy into intimacy and affection, not a display of insecurity or an argument that will do more damage than good. Make romantic plans that include physical activities and social events that you can enjoy as a couple. Less talk and more action will help you feel emotionally secure.
