The UR and East High
While I enjoyed Mary Anna Towler’s piece, “The UR’s Bold Commitment to a City High School,” it seems that much conversation about the UR-East partnership fails to capture the factors that, if continually provided, are most likely to lead to East students’ advancement. As one who works in Rochester City School District schools, including East, and who studies psychology and education, I have been most intrigued by East’s commitment to building relationships and networks between the school and community, and the support of student interests through experiential learning opportunities. These initiatives have the promise to help motivate students by providing opportunities for self-determination and more social support in school and life beyond. The day begins with “family group” at East, a time dedicated to creating a culture of caring by providing students a voice and a space to support each other. As the CITY article noted, this is critical due to the “growing isolation” of under-privileged youth. But it’s especially important in the education sector, as students everywhere disproportionally suffer from mental health issues, likely as a result of a culture of competition and existing in a system without personal agency. Further, East creates opportunity for student development through culinary arts, young teachers, and optics programs. Students elect to be 2 CITY

in these classes based on their interests. Each course includes experiential components. Students run a restaurant, work directly with elementary kids, and fashion glasses for peers, all while building skills and social networks. This last bit is more important than many realize. As highlighted by CITY, there is a “failure to invest enough in overcoming poverty’s effects on school children,” but I would stress that this is not strictly a financial failure. Robert Putnam’s book “Our Kids” focuses on the impact of the social-capital gap between income brackets in the US. Simply put, poor kids benefit from knowing more people in the larger community. Partnerships with companies through collaborative learning opportunities build social capital alongside the skills and self-knowledge afforded by such programs. I expect that the University of Rochester is aware of the potential impact of building on these small, but in some ways revolutionary, changes to the structure of schooling. The university is home to the authors of the widely supported and empirically established SelfDetermination Theory of Motivation, which argues for the needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness. While mandates of the state and public notions of schooling convolute the work of applying what we know about human development and motivation to educational spaces, the support of the UR and the larger community is imperative to building better education systems for students at East and throughout the region.

Melania, President Donald Trump’s wife, and daughter Ivanka are both highly praised for care of their children – his son and three grandchildren, respectively.

Social Security’s Trust ‘Fund’
Regarding a reader’s Feedback comment praising President Trump for not cutting Social Security benefits:
I, too, applaud Trump for not imposing cuts to Social Security (for now). Folks need to understand how Social Security works, though: what the Trust Fund is and what it isn’t. It contains no dollars with which to pay benefits. What it does contain are special non-tradable “securities” that the government created as each dollar collected from
payroll passed through their hands and into the general fund to be spent. There is no money there, and no treasuries that will affect anything but Social Security beneficiaries if the government reneges on them. They are not the same as T bills, which would trigger a downgrade of US credit worthiness should scheduled payments be missed. All the projections showing the Trust Fund lasting for another couple of decades before being exhausted are not accurate. The Fund is not a fund at all, and any shortages from current receipts versus outlays have to be made up real-time with dollars from the general fund. This is what has made it a Ponzi scheme. Instead of building a surplus that should have been used to cover fluctuations in demographics, the real money that was taken from your paycheck was used primarily to cover the Bush tax breaks, the last decade and a half of largely pointless war, and other government spending, going back to
the establishment of the fund under Reagan and Greenspan. In short, it has been used to fund stuff you would never have agreed to trade for your future Social Security benefits. In a very real sense, this money was stolen and converted into debt, which now has to be repaid, somehow, from a budget that is never balanced. Expect to see growing hysteria about this shortage from Dems and Republicans alike. This isn’t about what to do when the Trust Fund is emptied; it’s already empty. MARTIN MILLER
Correcting ourselves
The June 14 Urban Journal incorrectly stated that the University of Rochester’s Warner School of Education is managing East High School. While Warner associate professor Shaun Nelms is East’s superintendent, and other Warner faculty are involved, it is the University itself that is managing the school.

COMMENTARY | BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
Trump camp takes aim at the arts, again In times of political fever pitch, there’s typically a witch hunt directed at the arts. It begins with defunding the arts as a whole, as though they were a mere frill — but the real goal is to snuff out important, critical art. The public is encouraged to join in the roaring condemnation of anything that offends. In these ways and others, we’re discouraged from considering critical art closely enough to stimulate meaningful discussion. And by and large, it works. The media was abuzz last week about a New York City theater, the Public, which was staging a modern production of Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar” in Central Park. In it, the title character physically resembled Trump. The show made national headlines when the Trump family denounced it, and the production lost two corporate sponsors. In a particularly spineless and unnecessary move, the National Endowment for the Arts shirked the opportunity to educate and promote discussion. Instead, it chose to distance itself from the controversy, posting a disclaimer on its site that no NEA funds supported the Public’s production. The lethal icing to this fluffy discourse: After the shooting at the June 14 congressional baseball game practice, Donald Trump Jr. and others tweeted blame at the play. Never mind the evidence that the shooter had spent months planning this, and for years had been publicly critical of the member of Congress he critically wounded. Never mind the shooter’s reported personal history of violence. And definitely never mind the conservative rhetoric about the Constitutional right to take out a despotic government. Senator Rand Paul, who was present at the shooting, last June retweeted Fox News senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano: “Why do we have a Second Amendment? It’s not to shoot deer. It’s to shoot at the government when it becomes tyrannical!” Ironically, Trump-supporting detractors took the Public’s staged murder at face value, ignoring or ignorant of the smart, centuries-long debate about whether Caesar or Brutus is the protagonist. The play serves as a cautionary tale about violent revolt. And the Public itself said in a statement that neither the play nor its production advocates violence at all, but “makes the opposite point: those who attempt to defend democracy by undemocratic means pay a terrible price and destroy the very thing they are fighting to save.”
Responding to Shakespeare, the Trumps fume, and the NEA cowers. Outraged political response to the play is nothing new.
The fact that Shakespearean plays are often modernized but still performed in the original verse isn’t just because people like flowery words. The Bard was a master at using language to explore each nuance of motive or madness and to always acknowledge ambiguity. The same action can seem heroic or condemnable, or some combination of both. Few of Shakespeare’s plays leave viewers with a tidy sense of resolution, not in the way that formulaic, feel-good storylines do. The outraged political response to the play is nothing new. In a theater review for The New York Times, Michael Cooper points out that “Julius Caesar” was written “during a tense moment when Elizabethan England seethed with political plots,” and has been “banned or bowdlerized” during many totalitarian regimes. While we didn’t need further proof of the Trump camp’s unsophistication, its reflexive assessment of the play underscores it. Or at least points toward the family’s obsession with controlling the narrative and playing the martyr. And it also says a lot about what they think of American citizens’ collective intellect. Despite defunding and political pressure, the Public completed its run of the play, which concluded on Sunday. Good for them, good for us, but we certainly have our work cut out. Critical art asks complex questions, and it’s our responsibility to resist the reduction of this complexity. We must find ways to defend the arts and the artists as the classroom that they are, and hold that space open for our most daring and challenging discussions.

Landmark status for divinity school?
Months after officials at Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School announced plans to sell the picturesque 24-acre campus to Top Capital of New York, there’s a push to turn the site a city landmark. The matter is expected to go before a joint hearing of the city’s Preservation and Planning boards on Wednesday, July 19, at 6:30 p.m. in City Council chambers.
Bus lines target MCC students
Monroe Community College and RTS announced a new bus route between the school’s new downtown campus and the downtown bus terminal. The route will be free to students, faculty, and staff; buses will run on 10-minute intervals from between 6:55 a.m. and noon, then hourly between 12:21 p.m. and 9:11 p.m. RTS is also tweaking an existing line between the MCC Brighton campus and the transit station.

The proposal’s backers say the campus may be the most significant non-designated landmark in the city. The five original buildings were designed by James Gamble Rogers, architect of many of Yale University’s buildings. And the grounds are the work of landscape architect Alling DeForest, who designed the Eastman Museum gardens. The expansive, open hillside and proximity to Highland Park heightens the appeal. Though no plans have been submitted to the city, Top Capital officials have talked about investing about $36 million in the property. They envision converting the main building into a hotel and adding a new building near the southeast corner of South Goodman Street and Highland Avenue. The divinity school would lease space in the new building.
Some residents near Highland Park are clearly worried about the campus’s future. Marie Via, who submitted the application for landmark status, says she opposes constructing a new building near the Highland-Goodman Street intersection. Via said she wouldn’t object to a new building at the top of the hill, with the other buildings. “It’s really the protection of that park-like green space that’s the real concern,” she said. The landmark designation wouldn’t mean that the owners couldn’t build on the site, says Cynthia Howk, architectural research coordinator for the Landmark Society of Western New York. But any changes to the exterior of the current buildings and the grounds, and any new construction would be subject to approval by the Preservation Board, she says.

Brighton school officials, staff, and parents see the district’s new zero-waste policy – and its goal of diverting 80 percent of its waste from landfills – as a way to set an example for students while making the district more environmentally responsible.
ENVIRONMENT | BY JEREMY MOULE
Brighton schools go deep on garbage The Brighton school district now has a policy on its books about cutting waste, but it’s not referring to the kind of government waste many people fixate on. The policy is referring to refuse. The Brighton school board recently adopted a district-wide policy to divert 80 percent of its waste from landfills. That will require some changes in habit across the district, but it will also mean some new programs in its schools and facilities. Brighton’s the first school district in the county to do this. Brighton’s policy is a few years in the making. Parents and community members had increasingly urged the district to participate in more recycling efforts, says Brighton Superintendent Kevin McGowan. Parents at Council Rock elementary started recycling milk cartons, while some students in other schools formed recycling clubs and went classroom to classroom in their buildings, picking up recyclables. “It’s something very important in our community and to our school district,” says McGowan. Eventually, that led the district’s Environmental Committee to discuss a zero-waste program. District officials, staff,
and parents began to see the effort as a way to make the district more environmentally responsible and to set an example for students, McGowan says. The district brought in Impact Earth, a local environmental consulting firm, to develop a draft zero-waste policy. Impact Earth has a three-year contract with the district and will also help it take the policy from paper to practice. “We always say it’s an evolution,” says Cassidy Putney, Impact Earth’s communications director. “It doesn’t happen overnight.” In practical terms, the effort is about education. The French Road Elementary School cafeteria will be the initial test site. It’ll get bins for recyclable materials, compostable waste such as uneaten food, and refuse. Volunteers and staff will teach students which waste goes into which bin. “Simply by changing people’s habits and helping them understand where to put recyclables, where to put food waste, we can really significantly reduce what we’re putting into landfills,” McGowan says. Each building appears to be sending roughly three-quarters of its waste to landfills, with recyclables accounting for the remaining quarter, according to
Impact Earth’s single-day assessments at each building. French Road Elementary, for example, generated 381 pounds of landfill-bound waste and 144 pounds of recycling. The high school generated the highest numbers: 940 pounds of landfill-bound waste and 270 pounds of recycling material. The Council Rock Primary School cafeteria will likely be the next in line for zero-waste efforts, since it’s smaller and the students are younger, Putney says. Once zero-waste programs have started in all the district Brighton schools superintendent Kevin McGowan.

C
ontroversies like the death of Philando Castile in St. Paul, Minnesota, keep thrusting actions by police officers into the news, nationally and locally. But conflict between police officers and parts of the community they serve has a long, troubled history, in Rochester as elsewhere. Some of the conflict stems from the actions of individual officers, some from the actions of people in the community, some from deeply rooted prejudice and suspicion – on both sides. In St. Paul, the source of the latest conflict was the not-guilty verdict for the officer who shot Philando Castile during a traffic stop. In Rochester, protests erupted after the deaths of Denise Hawkins, Alecia McCuller, Hayden Blackman, and others, shot by on-duty Rochester police officers. Protests have also followed non-fatal injuries of citizens. Police officers are often called on to react quickly in tense situations, relying on their training, their judgment, and their instincts. But while they may act within defined police procedure, when their judgment is incorrect – when the civilians are unarmed, when they’re victims of mistaken identity – the civilians may pay the price with injury or loss of their life. And the conflict between the police and the community ramps up. Worsening that conflict, and standing in the way of easing it, is how complaints about police officers’ actions are investigated and judged. In Rochester, successive mayors, City Councils, and activists have tried to improve both the system of police oversight and police-community relations in general. City officials have made some changes in both areas, but not major ones. None have done much to lower the tension. And many people – particularly in the city’s poorest, mostly African-American and Hispanic, neighborhoods – not only don’t trust the way the city handles complaints about police, they don’t trust the police. Feeding the distrust: Except when criminal charges are filed against an officer, police “police” one another. When civilians file complaints about officers’ actions – whether it’s about the use of force, courtesy, or police procedure – their complaint is seldom upheld. And the public learns little, if anything, about the outcome of investigations into their actions. Meantime, bystanders' cellphone videos of the incident have been viewed online for months. Those videos are powerful, and they’re accessible to anyone who wants to see them.
The Rev. Lewis Stewart: “The need for change is vital and imperative.”
Also heightening the distrust: concerned that the behavior of Rochester police officers, most of whom are white, is influenced by racial bias. While charges about police use of force often originate in Rochester’s non-white neighborhoods, critics also point to incidents such as a Black Lives Matter protest in downtown Rochester last summer. During that event, police handcuffed and detained 70 protesters – including two African American television reporters who were covering the protest. Local civil rights leaders have been pushing for change – in police practices and in police oversight – literally for decades. “This is not a new problem,” said the Rev. Lewis Stewart, president of the United Christian Ministry of Western New York and leader of the Coalition for Police Reform. “It’s an age-old problem.” Stewart and other black leaders were “fighting for the same thing,” he recalls, “40 and 50 years ago.” “What is needed,” Stewart said, “is a transformation in the way policing is done in this city.” And, he said, “The need for change is vital and imperative.” City Council is once again reviewing the way the city handles complaints against
Except when criminal charges are filed against an officer, police “police” one another. police officers. Spurring the action was the case of Rochester teenager Rickey Bryant, who says that last summer, officers responding to reports of a crime knocked him from his bike and beat him, seriously injuring him. Bryant wasn’t subsequently charged. Council members also cite an April report sharply criticizing the oversight process, prepared for the citizens groups Enough Is Enough and the Coalition for Police Reform. That report, written by civil-rights activists Barbara Lacker-Ware and Theodore Forsyth, charges that the current police review system fails to hold police accountable for misconduct.
The report calls for scrapping the current system and creating a Police Accountability Board, independent of the police department. The board would have the power to review police policies and procedures, investigate complaints, and recommend disciplinary action and retraining. While it’s unlikely that City Council would adopt the report’s recommendations wholesale, some public officials, as well as some involved in the current civilian-review system, agree that police oversight needs to be improved. The public, they say, needs to believe that police will protect them, not harm them, and that government will hold officers accountable for misconduct. Lack of trust, they say, makes it harder for police to do their job. And it puts police at risk. “We’ve got to understand,” former Rochester Mayor Bill Johnson said in an interview earlier this spring, “that erosion of respect for police is as great a threat to public safety as violence.” continues on page 8 rochestercitynewspaper.com

Deputy Chief Mark Simmons: “Nothing beats experiential knowledge.”
Currently, if civilians object to treatment
by a Rochester police officer – that the officer used excessive force, didn’t follow proper procedure, wasn’t courteous – they can file a complaint. The investigation into that complaint is done by a section of the Rochester Police Department called the Professional Standards Section. Police officers in the PSS have been trained not only in police policy and procedure but also in how to conduct investigations. And they attend in-service training during the year at national and regional events. The PSS interviews the person who filed the complaint, the officers involved in the complaint, and witnesses, if there are any. The interviews are usually done at the PSS offices. The police chief then reviews the PSS investigation and its findings: whether the complaint is justified or not, or there isn’t enough evidence to decide either way. The chief makes a final decision about whether to uphold the complaint, and the chief determines what discipline to impose, if any. After the police have completed their work, there is a review by a group of civilians: the Civilian Review Board. Operated by the Center for Dispute 8 CITY
JUNE 21 - 27, 2017
A big obstacle is the state’s civil service law, which protects the confidentiality of police personnel records. Settlement, an independent non-profit organization founded in 1973, the Review Board consists of Rochester residents who are assigned to three-person panels to review the investigation by the PSS. They then reach their own decision about whether the complaint was warranted. Members of the board receive 30 hours of training in mediation and another 40 hours’ training on citizens’ rights, police policies and procedures,
and other topics. During their time on the Review Board, they receive additional in-service training on such things as changes in police policies and court decisions that affect those policies. They’re also required to accompany an officer on an eight-hour shift once a year. If the Review Board panel wants to, it can ask to interview everyone involved in the complaint. But it can’t compel them to be interviewed if they don’t wish to be. The Review Board has the right to reach a different conclusion than the PSS and the chief did, and sometimes it does. In 2014, for instance, 58 civilian complaints about the use of force were reviewed. The Civilian Review Board sustained seven of them; the PSS and the chief each sustained three. But with the vast majority of complaints, the Civilian Review Board, the PSS, and the chief all find that there isn’t enough evidence to sustain the complaint.
In all cases, the chief’s decision is the official finding. And other than the differences in findings being noted in quarterly and annual reports given to City Council, little may come of the Civilian Review Board’s involvement. Complainants are told how the chief ruled, but not how the Civilian Review Board ruled. And no one outside of the RPD and the Review Board knows anything about the investigation other than what the chief decided. There is one exception to that tightness: City Council itself can ask to review the investigation, and it can subpoena the records. Council has never done that – until now. Earlier this spring, Council asked for records of the investigation into the Rickey Bryant case. But it can’t overrule the police chief. And it probably won’t be able to say much about what it found in the investigation. City Council members are currently working their way through the records of Rickey Bryant’s case. And they’re beginning a review of the oversight process itself. At their June 20 meeting, they were expected to approve contracting with the Center for Governmental Research to review the current police oversight system. CGR
is also asked to “factor in best practices derived from other cities.” CGR is supposed to complete its work within 60 days. After that, says City Council President Loretta Scott, Council will start assessing the review process. Its work will include looking at the results of CGR’s study as well as the Lacker-WareForsyth report. Council will also be reviewing a list of recommendations for improving the oversight process, which the Center for Dispute Settlement sent it in October. After that, Council will decide what to do. “It is time for this exhaustive research,” Scott said. Mayor Lovely Warren agrees. “I think that with the things that are happening nationally, it’s time to relook at the process,” she said in a recent interview. Warren said she isn’t sure the recommendations in the report by LackerWare and Forsyth are “100 percent the way that we should go.” But, she said, “I think there is some middle ground. And we’re of course ready to explore that.” Nobody argues that the present system is perfect. A common complaint: the lack
of transparency about the process and the results of investigations. Another complaint: that the review process drags on and on. The reasons, police and CDS leaders say, are often related to people’s availability: the complainant, witnesses, and the officer involved in the case may not be available when members of the PSS are. A stenographer may not be available when the complainant is. But things have improved, says Liberti. “There was a time when it would take over 300 business days,” he said. Now, he said, the average is about 100 days, “and that’s a pretty good turnaround.” Still, the delays are undermining trust and breeding suspicion, especially when cellphone videos and social media have spread the word about an incident. Another concern: The legislation creating the Civilian Review Board states that there will be 35 panelists, that they’ll be volunteers, and that they’ll reflect the demographics of city residents. According to the CDS report for the first half of 2016, there were only nine panelists. Only three of them were black, and none were Hispanic. And several were CDS officials or staff members. Given the extensive time required for training, it isn’t easy to find panelists. But Liberti argues that for the Review Board’s work to be credible, the training – including training in maintaining neutrality – is essential. “The training is arduous,” he said, “but it brings that level of integrity. They don’t bring their biases.”
have a gun and pulled it out on an officer? We’ve lived through that.” “There’s not going to be a video when a cop puts their hands on an individual and it looks good,” said Warren. “Automatically when I have put my hands on you – and that’s not just when cops are involved; even when there are two people and a fight ensues – it never looks good.” But the question, Warren said, is whether the police officer acted within proper police procedure: “Did they follow their training? Did they do what they are supposed to do? And if they did, then we have to support them.” “If they didn’t,” said Warren, “then we have to hold them accountable. And that is a delicate Mayor Lovely Warren: “It’s time to relook at the process.” balance. There will never be a time FILE PHOTO when I have to put my hands on you and you think that it’s a good thing.

I’ve gone out there on the ridealongs, and the things that they have to see and face and endure day in and day out – it is challenging. “And you’re asking people to be perfect: ‘When you go out there, I want everything you say and everything you do to be perfect.’ That’s our expectation of them.

With all civilian complaints, the police chief’s decision is the official one.
A report’s reform list A recent report on police oversight is sharply critical of the way the city currently handles civilian complaints into alleged police misconduct, and it calls for major reforms. Prepared by activists Barbara LackerWare and Theodore Forsyth for the citizens’ groups Enough Is Enough and the Coalition for Police Reform, recommends scrapping the current process entirely and replacing it with an autonomous Police Accountability Board. Some of the report’s recommendations aren’t feasible; state law, for instance, prohibits sharing information about the discipline of a police officer. And even some activists agree that it’s unlikely that all of the report’s recommendations would be adopted. But the report has helped focus attention on the issue – including at City Hall. Among the report’s recommendations: • The Police Accountability Board would have 11 members, all city residents: six elected by voters, four appointed by City Council, one appointed by the mayor. • Board members would be trained not only in police policies and procedures but also in such areas as civil and human-rights laws, racism, gender and sexual-orientation issues, and disability rights. • The Board would have an administrator, a staff, and an independent investigator or investigators. • It would evaluate police “policies, procedures, and practices” and recommend changes if it had them. It would conduct investigations into allegations of police misconduct. And it would have subpoena power. • The police department’s Professional Standards Section, which currently conducts reviews of complaints against police, would give the Police Advisory Board its reports and its files of the investigations into complaints. • If the Accountability Board found that there was misconduct, it could recommend discipline, training, or dismissal. • The police chief would share findings and disciplinary recommendations with the Accountability Board. And if the Accountability Board and the police chief weren’t able to agree on the discipline, the board would have the final say.

to know that when they do that they’re going to be supported.” “But if I come out here and I’m with a cop that goes out and busts somebody upside the head and doesn’t treat the average citizen with respect,” Warren said, “what does that do to me? What does that say about me, seeing that and watching that and knowing that this person is your superior and is not following the law, not following their training, but nothing is happening to them?” “It goes to that whole movie ‘Training Day,’” Warren said. “You lose good people in the process. You lose good cops.” It seems likely that City Council will seek
at least some changes to the current process. A big question for Council will be how much change is enough. City Council president Loretta Scott says she thinks some aspects of the current system are working. But, she added, it’s a concern that “the community that is most affected doesn’t trust the process, and they don’t think it’s transparent.” City Councilmember Molly Clifford, who represents Rochester’s northwest neighborhoods, agrees. “To the degree that people don’t have confidence, we do have to do something,” she said. But, she added: “For me, it may be more about transparency and communication and the speed with which the process takes place.” “I think that in the end people want to know the outcome,” Mayor Lovely Warren said. “And even though there is a report given, it takes so much time to get that information out there. And especially with cellphone cameras and body cameras and all this different video that circulates out there and is available, I think we definitely need to move the process along faster.” In an interview last week, former Police Chief Jim Sheppard, who is challenging Warren in the September 12 mayoral primary, repeatedly cited four criteria he thinks a police review process must have: It must be complete, thorough, fair, and impartial. “I believed as chief that we were fair, impartial, complete, and thorough,” he said, “but when you step outside” the system, you may see it differently. “Obviously,” Sheppard said, “where we are today, the big issue is trust. No matter how much faith I may have had in the current system, the fact that the community doesn’t have that trust – we have to address that issue.” Critics of the current review system may not be satisfied with simply improving the transparency of the process and the speed of investigations, though. The subject of police oversight has become so “hot,” said CDS’s Frank Liberti, with high-profile national cases of civilian deaths appearing repeatedly in the news, that “what the public expects in oversight has changed.” 10 CITY JUNE 21 - 27, 2017
The Center for Dispute Settlement’s Frank Liberti: Investigators’ neutrality is essential.
Possible outcomes Investigations into civilian complaints about Rochester Police officers are done by the Police Standards Section of the police department and are then reviewed by both the police chief and the Civilian Review Board. All three reach one of four “findings” about the complaint: • Sustained – The act did happen, and the officer acted improperly. • Unprovable – There wasn’t enough evidence to prove whether the complaint is true or false. • Unfounded – the investigation didn’t find evidence that the act took place. • Exonerated – the officer’s action was appropriate and justified. The extensive reforms called for in the
report by Barbara Lacker-Ware and Theodore Forsyth have gotten wide attention and a good bit of support. The very name of the group they recommend points to dramatic change: it would be an Accountability Board, not a Review Board. But enacting major reform will be hard, and controversial. And some of the report’s recommendations are problematic. For instance, the report calls for an 11-member Police Accountability Board, with some members appointed by City Council and the mayor, and some elected by city voters. Strongly anti-police or pro-police officials could appoint Accountability Board members who share their bias. Elected
officials’ appointments could be influenced by the political muscle of the police union or citizens groups’ protests. Candidates in an election could be heavily funded by, and the results swayed by, the police union or a strongly anti-police citizens group. If a review board is deliberating complaints about a police officer’s actions, said Jim Sheppard, “I don’t want you to say I’m guilty because there’s a huge public outcry. I want you to say I’m guilty because I’ve done something wrong.” Neutrality, the Center for Dispute Settlement’s Frank Liberti emphasizes, is essential if the public and the police are to trust investigations into police actions. The report also says that police shouldn’t be involved in training members of the Police Accountability Board. That would likely meet resistance from many quarters. People who investigate complaints “have to understand the ‘why,’” said Jim Sheppard: “why somebody does something.” Former television reporter Rachel Barnhart, who is running for mayor against Sheppard and Warren in September’s Democratic primary, is more critical of the current system. “It’s obvious” that it isn’t working, she said, because of the few times the Civilian Review Board sustains a complaint – and because City Council hasn’t intervened until this year. “So many times there’ve been issues that should have raised concerns,” she said. “The current system relies far too heavily on the Professional Standards System,” Barnhart said. “There is not enough independent input.”
The system “has to have an independent investigator” she said, and she cited the case of Benny Warr, who has charged that police pulled him from his motorized wheelchair and assaulted him as he waited for a bus. “It was a perfect case where de-escalation should have been used” instead of force, Barnhart said. “I do support police officers, many of whom are my friends,” she said. “But I also support accountability.” In their letter to City Council in October, leaders of the Center for Dispute Settlement recommended eight changes. Among them: that the findings of the Civilian Review Board be considered the official findings about complaints, not those of the chief; that “to the extent allowable” by law, the RPD make public “the results of complaint investigations and administrative actions”; and that officers receive a minimum of eight hours of “cultural humility and implicit bias training.” In that letter, the Center did not recommend that investigations be conducted by an independent organization in addition to the RPD’s Police Standards Section. But Liberti says CDS has recommended that in the past. And in a recent interview, he and Cheryl Hayward, CDS’s director of police and community relations, said they would support that change as long as the investigators were thoroughly trained, including in police policies and procedure. Long-time civil rights activist Lewis Stewart says he recognizes that Council
might not adopt everything the report by Lacker-Ware and Forsyth recommends. But, he said in an interview, some specific changes are essential. Number 1, he said, is that the new oversight agency has to have subpoena power. “They have to be able to call witnesses to testify,” he said. And second: “we need independent investigators.” The Professional Standards Section would conduct its own investigation, he said. “That’s their right to do so, but we need an independent body, separate from the Rochester Police Department.” Third, Stewart said, “is that we must find a way of attracting more involvement from community residents” to serve on the review board. And fourth: “In order for any independent agency to carry out its mandate, it has to be funded. It’s got to be funded as an agency under the auspices of City Council. If it’s going to carry on this task, it must have a budget of at least $500,000 for the first year. It must be able to hire a director, staff, researcher, and investigators.”
concerns. The first step, he said, needs to be updating the way investigators are trained to investigate cases involving the use of force. “You know, science has changed,” Mazzeo said. And yet the training about investigations into the use of force is the same as it was 30 or 40 years ago. This fall, the union is bringing in experts on force, at the union’s expense. “That’s needed especially in light of body cameras, cellphone cameras, pole cameras, and all this other technology,” Mazzeo said. Former Mayor Bill Johnson: “We just need to restore the trust “You know, you don’t between the parties.” simply look at a video and determine that they did this or they did that.” “Our officers are reviewed under a process that is not current,” Mazzeo said, “nor has it been updated in any way, shape, or form.” “We want that kind of reform,” he said. And, he said, the current system of deciding whether and how an officer will be disciplined should be changed, perhaps having a neutral hearing officer make the final decision, rather than the police chief. “Those are the bare bones,” Police departments Stewart said. And, he said, the results often object to having anyone other and the findings of investigations than police officers investigate their must be publicized. actions. Mark Simmons, deputy chief In addition, Stewart said: “The of the Rochester Police Department, is community also needs to know who is on not quite as resistant. Asked whether this agency. Who are the members of the he thought police would agree to board? There’s got to be transparency, not let an independent agency conduct only with the police department but with investigations if the investigators were this whole new civilian review process.” thoroughly trained in police policy and procedure, he said this: “I think the Any proposed changes to the current answer lies in that big word ‘if.’ police oversight process will have to “Under perfect conditions, I think it be approved by City Council – and by would be acceptable,” he said. “I wouldn’t police officers, since performance reviews go so far as saying it would be ideal.” and disciplinary measures are covered by The officers assigned to the Police collective bargaining. Standards Section are carefully Buy-in from both Council and police trained, he said. They understand may be a hard sell. For decades, activists have police policy, and they understand pushed for a more independent, transparent police procedure. review of police actions, and the current “It’s not just training, taking a 6-hour process is the best they’ve been able to get. or a 40-hour course,” Simmons said. No one, officers say, knows police “Nothing beats experiential knowledge.” procedures, and the risks officers face, the “If you’re going to have way the officers themselves do. investigative powers,” said Mayor Mike Mazzeo, president of the Locust Lovely Warren, “who is going to be Club, the police officers’ union, says he doing that investigating? Are you agrees that the current review system needs going to hire retired police officers? to be reformed. But he points to different Retired investigators?”
Delays in the investigations of police actions are undermining trust and breeding suspicion.
“You can’t just have anybody investigating,” said Warren, “so I really think that is one of the big questions out there that needs to be answered. What do you really truly consider independent?” The current system of handling citizen complaints isn’t the only issue at the
heart of strained police-community relations. Another is police training. And police staffing. “Officers have a lot of discretion,” says the CDS’s Frank Liberti. What police procedure permits officers to do isn’t necessarily what’s best. “We need to get officers to ‘Should I do this” from ‘Can I do this,’” says Liberti. Officers also need extensive training in racism and cultural bias, to help overcome deep-seated racism and innate biases of all kinds, something that’s particularly important when people of different races and ethnic backgrounds interact in volatile situations. And CDS’s Cheryl Hayward emphasizes the need for police to build relationships in the community. Officers who know the young people on their beat, who know the adults on their beat, know the families on their beat, may respond differently in volatile situations. They may know, for instance, that a teenager who is acting out is usually well behaved, and they may figure he simply has had a rough day. That assumes that officers have not only received adequate training – including in bias – but also that police staffing patterns give officers time to get to know the people in the community, to walk the streets, attend community functions, hang out at corner stores, set up police-neighborhood sports competitions. And that would require hiring more police officers, and having them assigned to small enough areas of the community that they could get to know residents and participate in community life. Since then, however, city officials have taken steps that may have made that harder. At one time, police officers served in one of seven sections of the city, working out of an office in that section. In 2004, in an effort to save money, the city reduced the number of sections to two, assigning more officers to the section with the highest police service needs. In 2014, the Warren administration took the number of patrols back to five, but there still aren’t section offices in all of those patrol areas. The police union has argued that those physical structures help the officers in those sections interact with the community and be a part of the community’s infrastructure. And RIT’s John Klofas says that the city needs to commit to real community policing.
“The RPD, he said, “tends to be really driven by 911 calls. The police who are on duty anytime are really running from one 911 call to another 911 call.” Police aren’t able to spend much time walking around, Klofas said. They don’t have time to get to know people. True community policing also takes training, he said, and while there are federal resources that provide the training, at no charge, the city hasn’t taken advantage of them, he said. If Rochester changes the way it handles
civilian complaints about police officers, whatever form that takes will have to create a higher level of trust if it is to be effective. City residents will have to trust the system and the police. And police officers will have to believe the system will protect not only their rights but also their safety. But a huge obstacle is the state’s civil service law, which protects the confidentiality of police personnel records. Unless police action results in criminal charges, the public usually doesn’t learn the names of officers involved in complaints. And even if the police chief sustains a complaint and disciplines an officer, the person filing the complaint doesn’t learn what that discipline is. Changing that would require changing state law – a major challenge, given the strength of police unions statewide. But former Mayor Bill Johnson says that despite the challenge, the public should push for change. With citizens able to capture police actions on cellphones and share them on social media, greater transparency is in the interests of police as well as the general public. And Johnson says attitudes need to change on both sides of the policereview issue. Police need to understand that it’s in their interest for all parts of the community to trust them. And, he says, critics of the current system need to understand that a very small fraction of police actions involve misconduct. “We get over 400,000 calls a year,” said Locust Club president Mike Mazzeo. But the media and critics of the police, he said, tend to focus on a handful of incidents involving the use of force. Despite the difficulties involved, some other cities have found ways to investigate police conduct with greater civilian involvement. Rochester, however, “is on the low end of the scale,” said RIT’s John Klofas. Former Mayor Johnson argues that a better system is both achievable and crucial. “The infrastructure, human and structural, for making these reforms in Rochester exists,” he said in an e-mail. “In fact, citizens are more engaged than 20 years ago. We just need to restore the trust between the parties. And to change current state law to facilitate the changes.” rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 11

A large cobblestone house on a busy highway is an unexpected location for award-winning theatrical work, but through June 25, poet Emily Dickinson is brought to life onstage in William Luce’s “The Belle of Amherst,” which plays at Cobblestone Arts Center in Farmington. The venue usually features children’s performances and camp showcases, but the reasoning for this run is more nostalgic than anything else — it’s a reunion of sorts for the cast and creative team. When “The Belle of Amherst” was mounted in the Rochester area 27 years ago, Cobblestone Director Lorene Benson 12 CITY JUNE 21 - 27, 2017
produced it at her former venue across from Eastview Mall, in the cobblestone building that now houses a Starbucks. There, it sold out every performance after the first weekend, garnered awards, and moved on to national and international venues for the following two years. Benson, director Michael Arve, and actor Vicki Casarett reunited for the 2017 reprisal, and after Saturday night’s show it’s simple to see why it was such a success the first time around. The plot follows Dickinson’s life from 1830 to 1866 and draws heavily from her written correspondences, journals, and poetry to create an intimate conversation with the audience. It lightly touches on lingering questions about her mental state — she often experienced nervous breakdowns — while giving a glimpse of her intensely personal life. Dickinson was a recluse, but even a recluse has dreams and desires. Playwright William Luce does an admirable job of humanizing, though not stereotyping the poet. He is known for his one-person scripts (other subjects include Zelda Fitzgerald and Lillian Hellman), which he often wrote specifically for five-time Tony Awardwinner Julie Harris. Her 1977 Tony win
for Best Actress was for her portrayal of Dickinson in “The Belle of Amherst.” Actor Vicki Casarett’s absolute control during the show is impressive; the emotional depth, vivacity, and insight she breathes into the character of Emily Dickinson is stunning. Dickinson, in her bridal-white dress, seated at her writing desk. Dickinson planting seeds in the homestead garden. Dickinson talking to her family members in the parlor. Casarett embodies her character completely, moving from conversation to poetry, her cadence perfectly matched to the way each syllable was originally penned. Artistic Director Michael Arve, who is also a poet, doubtless provided guidance throughout the process. It’s often been said that one of the most difficult scenarios for an actor is that of the one-sided phone call. When to pause; how to react authentically — it’s a precarious challenge when there is no one on the other line to provide a response. Casarett, however, could teach a master class. While “Belle” is a onewoman show, she “plays opposite” nearly 15 characters throughout the two-hour run. Each interaction and conversation is one-sided yet wholly genuine, a nod to her thorough mastery of both the script and the timing needed for such a demanding pace. The audience is invited into Dickinson’s Amherst, Massachusetts, home: her parlor, bedroom, and garden. The set design by Arve is conscientious and historical, with periodappropriate pieces and small touches like plants, picture frames, and personal mementos scattered about the surfaces to make the set more home-like. Casarett uses an abundance of props, writes with quill and ink, nibbles cake, and sips water and tea frequently throughout the run. The stage is free flowing, each room melding into the next so Casarett can move swiftly between scenes. The lower part of the stage represents the outdoors, and lighting changes to signify where the audience should direct their attention. Sound effects are used throughout the show (the only negative part of the experience was a consistent white noise heard from the auditorium speakers during the performance). Cobblestone Arts is a bit of a drive outside the city, but not too far. It’s a quick jump from 490 east to the Thruway, and the center is located right on route 332 off the exit. To sweeten the overall experience, the team at Cobblestone offers complimentary wine, tea, and Dickinson’s “Black Cake” in the lobby pre-show and during intermission — an especially luxurious touch as everything is served in real glassware and patrons can bring their beverages into the auditorium. “The Belle of Amherst” is a poignant, beautifully executed production. It’s worth both the drive from the city and sacrificing a few precious hours of Rochester summertime.

New City Café 441 PARSELLS AVENUE MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, 7 A.M. TO 7 P.M.; SATURDAY, 8 A.M. TO 2 P.M. 978-7110; NCCAFE.ORG
New City Café on Parsells Avenue serves a range of espresso-based drinks, filter coffee, and locally-made pastries — but the real purpose of New City is behind the scenes. The café, which opened on June 9, currently employs three teenagers as part of its mission to mentor local youth, and Executive Director John Lee hopes that number will only rise. The café is a subsidiary (and next-door neighbor) of 441 Ministries, a nonprofit Christian organization that works with local churches and other groups to foster growth in Rochester’s Beechwood neighborhood. New City was created by Lee, who joined 441 Ministries about five years ago as a mentor to children and teens in the kids program. Lee noticed that his mentees tended to drift as they got older, and many stopped showing up to the program altogether. Lee began thinking of ways the ministry could
retain its members while also equipping them with transferrable, real-world skills. He pictured a nonprofit venture where teens could learn and practice business principles, make a fair wage, and help revitalize the Beechwood community at the same time. Currently, his three teenage employees are working toward barista certification while also learning about customer service and the ins and outs of a small business. The café and coffee bar sources its goods from local businesses: bagels are from Balsam Bagels; doughnuts from Ridge Donuts; pastries from Cheesy Eddie’s; juices from Red Jacket Orchards; and chai tea from the Chai Guy at the Public Market. Lee expects more collaborations will be coming, and his team hopes to work with other Rochester coffee bars as well. “The coffee community in Rochester is defined by collaboration, not competition,” says Assistant Director Nick Trombley. For assistance in getting started with the coffee side of things, Lee turned to Patrick “Peach” Hardy, owner of Hero-In Coffee in New Jersey. Hardy hires recovering heroin addicts and helps struggling individuals reclaim their lives through employment and
community connection, while also producing a range of specialty wholesale-priced coffee beans. New City Café currently gets its beans from Hero-In, and Hardy traveled up to Rochester to help train the café’s staff. Trombley, a 2016 graduate of Eastern University, says that like most college students, he stumbled into a love of coffee as a means to keep himself awake. However, it wasn’t long before he began to see the connections between his caffeine fix, his major in economic development, and his passion for socially responsible business. “There’s nothing that connects us more to the third world on a daily basis than coffee,” says Trombley, who is making it a point to carry fairly traded and ethically sourced coffee at New City. Trombley and Lee crossed paths at the New City Fellowship, a congregation which meets at the Community Place of Rochester at 145 Parsells Avenue. Shortly after graduation, Trombley received an email from the fellowship announcing Lee’s plans for a café, and he got in touch with Lee to find out how he could help. The two met for breakfast at The Golden Fox to hammer out the details and left that morning as business partners.
Lee and Trombley are now both barista-certified, and train their student employees one-on-one. “We’ve lost the art of apprenticeship,” Lee says, explaining his commitment to individual mentorship. Just as he mentored children and teens with 441 Ministries, Lee works closely with his student-employees to teach important work and community values. For several of the students, New City Café is their first job. In addition to providing quality coffee and snacks to the residents of Beechwood as well as jobs for teens, the café aims to be a gathering place where community members feel a sense of “belonging and warmth,” Lee says. Plans for music and art nights are in the works, and pieces by local students and artists already adorn the pallet-wood walls. Next to the pastry case, a large mural of the Beechwood neighborhood by local artist Dunstan Luke takes up much of the wall. The work depicts the corner of Parsells and Greeley where the café stands, and shows the area thriving and full of diversity. For Lee and Trombley, the mural conveys optimism about Beechwood’s future while still maintaining its personality. As Lee likes to tell his students, “Never lose your flavor.” rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 13

Upward Groove. Temple Bar
She was born and raised in Spain, but Berta Moreno fell in love with American jazz and wanted to be part of it. Suffice it to say, her wish came true. Moreno’s debut album, “Little Steps,” not only showcases her prowess as an improviser on the saxophone, it also highlights her formidable talent as a composer. Moreno plays tenor on the album, holding her own against top veteran players Steve Wilson on alto and soprano and Troy Roberts on tenor and soprano. Her quintet is rounded out by the always excellent Manuel Valera on piano; David Hardy on drums; and bassist Maksim Perepelica. Moreno is known in Europe, but is just getting a foothold in the United States. Most startling among her talents is her compositional skill. While certainly rooted in the great jazz of the 1950’s, her tunes are intricate and highly original. She’s capable of beautiful ballads, like “Lullaby for Rafi,” and up-tempo romps, like “Mind the Gap.” The album’s title, “Little Steps,” seems an obvious declaration of just getting started (as opposed to the mature grandeur of John Coltrane’s “Giant Steps”), but if this notable album is a start, Moreno’s journey will be one worth following. — BY RON NETSKY

But Rabinowitz isn’t soaring on saxophone, flute, or trumpet. He plays the bassoon, and his mission is to expand the instrument’s reach from its traditional classical confines to the world of jazz. Over the years, Rabinowitz has earned the respect of many top players: he’s worked with Wynton Marsalis, Dave Douglas, Joe Lovano, and others. On his appropriately titled new album, “Uncharted Waters,” Rabinowitz is joined by three lesser-known but excellent musicians: Nat Harris on guitar, Ruslan Khain on bass, and Vincent Ector on drums. Harris is especially strong whenever he cuts loose on a solo. As for the sound of Rabinowitz’s bassoon, it’s got a nice, Sonny Rollins-like rasp, and sometimes dives deep enough to be mistaken for a bass clarinet. The album goes a long way in proving that it’s not the axe you play, it’s the sensibility you bring to it. — BY RON NETSKY

Broken bones, fractured soul [ FEATURE ] BY FRANK DE BLASE
St. Paul and the Broken Bones PLAYING AS PART OF THE XEROX ROCHESTER INTERNATIONAL JAZZ FESTIVAL FRIDAY, JUNE 23 EAST AVENUE AND CHESTNUT STREET STAGE 9 P.M. | FREE | ROCHESTERJAZZ.COM; STPAULANDTHEBROKENBONES.COM
Singer Paul Janeway’s unassuming mug belies the soul monster behind it. He sings like he’s having a borderline fit, a Pentecostal tantrum. He moves about the bandstand like he’s got ants in his pants — fire ants. His band, St. Paul and the Broken Bones, is a powerhouse that hails from Birmingham, Alabama, and rocks classic worldwide. It’s broken bones for your busted soul. Janeway used to dress the part … of an accountant. You’d be hard pressed to see him as a soul shouter. “I am sure if a record label was going to make a lead singer, he wouldn’t look like me,” Janeway says. It was the early 2000’s, and Janeway was in school studying for a nice, safe job as an accountant while pursuing music at night. It wasn’t numbers that initiated the leap to pro; it was the writing on the wall. “Well,” Janeway says, “it became obvious when I was struggling to get to class because of playing shows. It definitely was scary, but I had to go where my heart was leading me.” It all made sense to Janeway and his band when the man opened his mouth to sing. No longer stood the mild-mannered number cruncher in his rumpled suit blue, but rather The Reverend Al Green with his head on fire. Janeway has pipes for days. “I don’t know if I really consider my voice 18 CITY JUNE 21-27, 2017
good,” he says, “but I can stay in tune most of the time. I am still discovering my voice, which is really fun to do. I’m always working to make it better. I am very grateful to be in the position I am in. No one could have predicted what happened to us, and I feel lucky to get to make a living playing music.” Janeway has been into sweet soul music since he was a kid and his mom would spin records in the home. “When I was very young, I first remember hearing a group called The Stylistics,” he says. “I was in love with that music.” And this love for soul has carried over to what St. Paul and the Broken Bones do night after night and in the studio. Yeah, it’s the voice that gets the kids all twitterpated, but you gotta have songs — and this band has got ’em: little postmodern vignettes that’ll sear your soul with their contemporary relevancy and vintage appeal. Spin one of the band’s two LPs — “Half the City” and “Sea of Noise” — and you’ll hear it. “I think we just write and record songs the best way we know how,” Janeway says. “It is us, but our influences will bleed through for sure. There are a lot of vintage recording techniques we use that sound better than modern techniques.” Live, the band brings it on home wherever it plays its signature barn-burner sets. It’s more than a show; it’s an experience where Janeway has seen elated fans in tears. When he’s on stage there is no place he’d rather be, nothing he’d rather do. He can’t think of anything right off the top of his head, anyway. “I honestly don’t know what else I’d do,” he says. “I have thought about going back to school if we ever had enough time off and get an Art History degree. But hopefully I get to continue to scream into a microphone until I can’t scream no more.”

Plug-in to our music reviews from Frank De Blase.
CITY / MUSIC
STONER METAL | BLACK WIZARD
It’s been 47 years since Black Sabbath unwittingly created stoner metal (and heavy metal as a whole), and you would expect that nothing new could possibly be said about ripping bongs, cosmic entities, and following the smoke toward the riff-filled land. Leave it to Vancouver’s Black Wizard to take the tried-and-true, riff-worship formula and twist it into something invigorating and new. Its latest record, 2016’s “New Waste,” is as life-affirming as a record adorned with skulls and cloaked druids can be, combining Sleep and Electric Wizard’s penchant for bone-crushing sludge with galloping leads and soaring vocals that wouldn’t feel out of place in an Iron Maiden set. Hell, the track “Laughing and Lost” might just be the first ever stoner metal ballad. Thanks, Canada!

York, Pennsylvania-based indie rock band The Ok-Ok’s may be young but it brings the talent that most musicians work their entire lives for. On the group’s new full-length album, “22/17” — simply named because three of the members were 22 and one was 17 when it was recorded — singer Sadie Swartz belts soulful, wailing vocals in every track with authentic energy while the music is comparable to an early Rolling Stones aesthetic. It’s catchy, it’s bluesy, and it’s a timeless rock ’n’ roll sound we all love. Keep an ear out for the band’s most popular single “Philip Seymour Hoffman.” The Cosmodemonic Telegraph Co., Rosehip, and Oona Kyung are also on the bill. The Ok-OK’s perform Friday, June 23, at the Vineyard Community Space, 836 South Clinton Avenue. 6:30 p.m. $5 suggested donation. facebook.com/vineyardcommunityspace; theokoksband.com. — BY AMANDA FINTAK rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 19
ART | “WORKING IN PUBLIC”
ART | “SO CALLED LADIES”
ART | “A LITTLE DEATH: A SOLO EXHIBITION”
Rochester photographer and videographer Alex Weiser, who brands his work as “Between Your Ears,” wants to encourage playfulness in his new interactive photo presentation, “Working in Public.” The experimental display showcases Weiser’s photographs — all of them taken this June — alongside short sentences, words, and ideas which can be arranged and rearranged along five wire lines to create loose narratives. Weiser’s intention is to build a fun activity, so patrons grabbing coffee at Ugly Duck are free to write their own words on new note cards and reposition the photos to their liking.
Rochester-based artists Saundra Ehman and Beth Bloom are the creative minds behind Gallery Q’s latest exhibit “So Called Ladies,” curated by Jamie and Alice Carver-Kubik. Most of Ehman’s works are detailed pen and ink drawings with paisley patterns and bright colors, reminiscent of adult coloring books. On the back wall is a fiber and mixed-media “soft sculpture” that explores her own aging female body, as well as a soft sculpture of a mother and child. Both aim to show the feminine figure in its true, beautiful form. Bloom’s mixed-media series, “Cowgirls, Vamps, and Other So Called Ladies,” explore feminine power and beauty through found photographs and sculptures she decorates with colorful beads, sequins, feathers, and yarn. The images literally pop off the wall.
What happens when Death’s son is a little nicer than Death himself, and has a hard time continuing the work of his father? Local artist Nicholas Gurewitch has the answer in his newest project, an art book called “Notes on a Case of Melancholia, or: A Little Death.” Gurewitch illustrated the entire, self-described “mostly silent picture book,” with dark, gothic scratchboard artwork that fits the tone and theme of the story. The narration comes from the case notes of Dr. Edgar O. Wye, a psychoanalyst who accepts Death as his patient. Through the end of the month, Main Street Arts is featuring original pages and select prints from the book in its current, second floor exhibit, “A Little Death: A Solo Exhibition.”
During the closing reception on Sunday, June 25, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., Weiser will take down the display’s components, and visitors will gather around the tables in Ugly Duck to construct new stories as a type of storytelling game. Weiser hopes to find inspiration from the exhibit that he can use for future film ideas. “Working in Public” continues through Sunday, July 2, at Ugly Duck Coffee (89 Charlotte Street). Admission is free. Visit uglyduckcoffee.com for more information. Some of Weiser’s film work is available to view on his company’s website at floatinghomefilms.com. — BY GRACIE PETERS

[ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
Manhattanite Blair (Zoë Kravitz) and hippie-ish activist Frankie (Ilana Glazer). The women have stayed in touch, but as life has “Rough Night” taken them in different directions, it’s been years (R), DIRECTED BY LUCIA ANIELLO since they’ve actually seen each other. The late arrival NOW PLAYING of Pippa (Kate McKinnon, seemingly channeling her “Ghostbusters” co-star Chris Hemsworth), Jess’s A bachelorette weekend descends into debauchery, friend from her time studying abroad in Australia, drug-fueled benders, and some inadvertent only adds to the somewhat strained atmosphere. manslaughter in “Rough Night,” a gleefully But heavy amounts of alcohol and a bit of cocaine R-rated comedy that marks the feature debut of eventually loosens everyone up for a good time. “Broad City’s” Lucia Aniello. The rarity of raunchy, Until, that is, an unfortunate accident leaves them R-rated comedies helmed by female directors is with a hunky but very dead stripper (Ryan Cooper) reason enough to root for the film, but while there’s on their hands. plenty of laughs to be had, the script too often feels Directed by Aniello from her script with frustratingly derivative. partner Paul W. Downs (who also has a role as Jess (Scarlett Johansson), the bride-to-be, is Jess’s fiancé), “Rough Night” sets out to prove that taking a break from her state senate campaign to dutifully attend her bachelorette weekend in Miami women can be just as debaucherous and immoral as men (though really, if you don’t know that by Beach. There’s a certain sense of obligation as her overbearing freshman roommate, Alice (Jillian Bell), now, you clearly aren’t hanging with the right circle of friends). The film is reminiscent of everything has planned the event as an excuse to reunite their from “The Hangover” and “Very Bad Things” to core group of college friends, which includes rich “Bridesmaids” and even “Weekend at Bernie’s.” And “derivative” is just about the dirtiest word you can hurl at a raucous comedy like this. Comedies that involve murder — accidental or otherwise — already have a tricky line to walk, and in something like “Very Bad Things,” part of the joke was how, beneath their thin veneer of propriety, its characters were truly Zoë Kravitz, Ilana Glazer, Scarlett Johansson, Kate McKinnon, and Jillian Bell terrible people. There, the tone in “Rough Night.” PHOTO COURTESY COLUMBIA PICTURES

crossed too far into mean-spiritedness, but that also gave its filmmakers the freedom to do whatever they wanted. Aniello, on the other hand, feels obligated to make sure the women in her film are completely redeemed by the time the credits roll. In attempting to make sure we know these characters are all decent people at heart, the script shifts the focus to the rejuvenation of their friendship. The actors deliver, but since everyone is only assigned a single personality trait (two at most), the characters aren’t developed enough for us to become that invested in those relationships. Although the former romance between Blair and Frankie is one of the few bits of character detail that adds something fresh to the group dynamic. Individual scenes in “Rough Night” are hilarious, but the narrative lacks the sense of escalation that’s crucial for this type of farce. With the caliber of talent that’s in front of and behind the camera, “Rough Night” should have made for a bender worth remembering.
“Paris Can Wait” (PG), DIRECTED BY ELEANOR COPPOLA NOW PLAYING
The first narrative feature from Eleanor Coppola (wife of Francis, and mother of Sophia), “Paris Can Wait” is a pleasant, airy travelogue about a woman rediscovering the simple pleasures of life. Diane Lane stars as Anne, the wife of a workaholic film producer, Michael (Alec Baldwin). The couple are set to depart the Cannes Film Festival for Budapest,

where he has some business to conduct before continuing on to Paris, but an earache prevents Anne from joining her husband on their private jet. When Anne decides to travel straight on to Paris, Michael’s producing partner, Jacques (Arnaud Viard), offers to drive her. It should be less than a day’s drive, but Jacques is in no hurry, stopping to smell the figurative baguettes at every opportunity, and taking great satisfaction in introducing Anne to new restaurants and pointing out historical sites and art of particular significance. The short excursion gradually turns into a two day journey through the French countryside. Like a less humorous variation on “The Trip,” another story about watching privileged people enjoy a lush life of luxury, “Paris Can Wait” carries you along on waves of lovingly photographed meals and locations. There are hints of hidden depths, and a touch of romance through Jacques mildly flirtatious behavior, but Coppola keeps it all below the film’s blandly serene surface. Anne remains a passive character, following Jacques’ whims wherever they may take him. Lane and Viard are both agreeably warm performers, and they make the trip charming enough that you’ll only occasionally find yourself wondering, “Are we there yet?” Visit rochestercitynewspaper.com on Friday for additional film coverage, including a review of “The Exception.” Alec Baldwin and Diane Lane in “Paris Can Wait.” PHOTO COURTESY SONY PICTURES CLASSICS

Magnificent mansion in Maplewood
94 Augustine Street In 1874, the City of Rochester, fueled by
another fireplace, with an ornate oak mantle and
industrial development and the continuing success of the Erie Canal, made several large annexations, nearly doubling its area. Part of this expansion included the area we now refer to as Maplewood. During the ensuing decades, with the extension of the Lake Avenue streetcar, the neighborhood soon filled with grand homes built by industrialists and professionals, intertwined among the naturalistic landscape of the river valley and Frederick Law Olmsted’s designed parks. In 1894, John C. Hayden, then chief detective and assistant chief of police, constructed this grand Queen Anne style home for his wife, Linda, and their four children. Detective Hayden would go on to become chief of police, ultimately serving for 37 years.
mirror, and leads to the dining room at the rear of the house or the small study next to the stair hall. The dining room has a vaulted pressed tin ceiling, a broad window bay, and an especially detailed inlaid parquet floor. Off of the dining room is the good sized kitchen and small full bathroom awaiting your creative vision. A rear stair to the basement, enclosed porch, and former breakfast room round out the first floor.
The broad front porch, ashlar stone walls, soaring chimney, and substantial proportions of this grand Queen Anne set the tone for the resplendent interior within. A pair of oak doors give way to a shallow extravagant vestibule with an intricate encaustic tile floor and walls clad in lincrusta. The central stair hall beyond gleams with oak paneling, moldings, and inlaid floors that carry throughout the house. A small jewel box of a music room, embellished with decorative plaster and a mottled green tile and bronze fireplace, is to the left. Through a pair of oak pocket doors to the right is the front parlor, with stained glass windows, one of the many original light fixtures, and more gleaming woodwork. The rear parlor has
Ascending the stairs past the stained glass window at the landing, the second floor features three large bedrooms with more inlaid floors, stained woodwork, a shared bathroom, and a completely separate two bedroom apartment to the other side of the central hallway.

There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.

To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained by New York State Banking Department at 1-877-Bank-NYS or visit the Department`s website at www.banking.state.ny.us FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services. Section 1303 NOTICE YOU ARE IN DANGER OF LOSING YOUR HOME If you do not respond to this summons and complaint by serving the copy of the answer on the attorney for the mortgage company who
filed this foreclosure proceeding against you and filing the answer with the court, a default judgment may be entered and you may lose your home. Speak to an attorney or go to the court where your case is pending for further information on how to answer the summons and protect your property. Sending a payment to your mortgage company will not stop this foreclosure action. YOU MUST RESPOND BY SERVING A COPY OF THE ANSWER ON THE ATTORNEY FOR THE PLAINTIFF MORTGAGE COMPANY AND FILING AN ANSWER WITH THE COURT.

Advertisers Are Coming for You
The New York Times reported in May that the “sophistication” of Google’s and Facebook’s ability to identify potential customers of advertisements is “capable of targeting ads ... so narrow that they can pinpoint, say, Idaho residents in long-distance relationships who are contemplating buying a minivan.” Facebook’s ad manager told the Times that such a description matches 3,100 people (out of Idaho’s 1.655 million).
Government in Action!
Harry Kraemer, 76, owner of Sparkles Cleaning Service in London, Ontario, was alone in his SUV recently and decided to light up a cigarette based on his 60-year habit, but was spotted by Smoke-Free Ontario officers and cited for three violations. Since his vehicle was registered to his business, and the windows were up, the cab constituted an “enclosed workspace.” It took a long legal fight, but in May, the Provincial Offences Court cut Kraemer a break and dismissed the tickets. rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 31
