‘Policing’ the police
Frank Liberti and Cheryl Hayward of the Center for Dispute Settlement “Police-review Leaders Want Change”) profess that the Civilian Review Board “needs major improvements.” Barbara Lacker-Ware and I, in conjunction with Enough Is Enough and the Rochester Coalition for Police Reform, released a report in February that details how the CRB has failed the people of Rochester. The Center for Dispute Settlement seems to be a bit late to the party if they are just now noticing that the CRB “needs major improvements.” The failures of the current CRB are many: It is administered by a private nonprofit that requires, among other hurdles, potential board members to be trained in and practice mediation; the CRB has no independent investigative power (the police conduct the only investigations into complaints of misconduct); the CRB has no subpoena power (meaning that the CRB has no legal recourse to command the production of evidence or compel testimony); and finally, the chief of police makes the final determination for all complaints and imposes any discipline he sees fit. These have been the failures of the civilian review process under the Center for Dispute Settlement for 25 years. Barbara and I looked at 15 years of data, specifically 1,173 allegations of police use of force against civilians, where only 2 percent of allegations (23 total) were sustained (meaning it was determined that the officer acted wrongly). Only 14 of those 23 sustained allegations led to discipline; the harshest discipline imposed was six suspensions. Based on our research, we conclude that police have routinely used unnecessary force against unarmed civilians, and the current CRB has done nothing to curtail this misconduct for decades. At the end of our report is an ordinance calling for the Police 2 CITY

Accountability Board to be created. The PAB would be an 11-member board with subpoena power and have independent investigative authority directly overseen by City Council. It would also have the power to compel the chief to impose discipline, using a disciplinary matrix, if complaints were sustained. In short, the PAB would be a review board with teeth. Liberti and Hayward’s proposed changes to a system that “needs major improvements” feel tepid. I encourage the public to read the full report (enoughisenough.rocus.org) and come to your own conclusions. “It’s toothless,” community activist Howard Eagle said 18 years ago at a rally denouncing the CRB. “It more or less rubber-stamps the decisions of the police chief.” Eighteen years later, his words continue to ring true.

Job fairs were helpful, not bad
Mayor Warren’s decision to hold Uber and Lyft job fairs at City Hall were in the best interest of the community and are commendable. Rachel Barnhart’s filing of an ethics complaint against Warren for taking these constructive actions reeks of nasty election year political maneuvering. It was a clumsy and transparent move. Barnhart should’ve supported and applauded Warren’s positive efforts. Instead, she squandered her chance to show constructive imagination. For example, by recommending an amendment to the City Charter, Section 2-18
(c) (5) to allow for, at the mayor’s request, events and activities on City property that are deemed by the City Council to serve the best interests of the community. Barnhart needs to learn that authenticity is the thread from which the mantle of leadership is woven. LEE LONDON
Art in the eye of one beholder
On a local artist’s anti-Trump street art: While Trump is
undoubtedly a despicable individual, this “art” is way over the top. And even as a liberal, I have to agree with those who argue that had this been done with an image of Obama, accusations of racism would be flying fast and thick. RICH EDWARDS
Brighton’s focus on waste
On the Brighton school district’s new waste-reduction policy: Always
good news! Is Brighton still using disposable cafeteria trays and plastic “disposable” utensils? Even if they are compostable or recyclable, the waste is insane. I was horrified when I went to my child’s school to see the amount of trash that is created by disposable cafeteria products. “Waste” needs to be reduced. Deeming items tossed out as “compostable” or “recyclable” does not absolve it from being generated in the first place. MONIQUE PATENAUDE

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
It’s time to build support for a regional school This time every year, many of us get a big emotional lift from the Jazz Festival. And for me, it’s not just the music. It’s all those people. Downtown. The Jazz Festival, Fringe, and other big attractions aren’t the only signs of a stronger downtown. Enough people are moving into the new developments that we’re beginning to see their impact. People on bikes, people walking around at night on blocks that used to be pretty dead after 6 o’clock. It’s encouraging that the new developments have filled up quickly. And if the projects under construction do the same, downtown will feel far different than it did a decade ago. It will be healthier, and so will the city itself. But that health could be fragile. Many of the people moving downtown are either older empty nesters or young adults. The older ones, unfortunately, won’t be there forever. And many of the younger ones will move, not just out of downtown but out of the city, if and when they have children. Because we still haven’t done what we need to do to transform city schools. That will take more creativity and more will power – more guts – than we’ve exhibited in a long time. Many parents are reluctant to send their children to Rochester’s public schools, because so many of the district’s students are doing so poorly. Students can get a good education in city schools, and quite a few are. But in most Rochester schools, highly concentrated poverty and all of its associated challenges are taking an enormous toll. As long as most schools are high-poverty schools, that won’t change. Numerous studies – decades of numerous studies – show that poor children who attend schools where most students aren’t poor do better, academically, than students in highpoverty schools. Some school districts in some parts of the country are creating magnet schools to lure affluent city families. And they’re using children’s socioeconomic status when they assign them to schools, so that the new schools don’t have a high poverty level. But as Tim Macaluso notes this week in his article on a regional-school study, it would be hard to do that here, relying only on city families. The poverty rate is simply too high. The answer, then, is to create urbansuburban schools in the city. That won’t be easy. Suburban districts won’t want to lose
The city’s health will continue to be fragile, because we still haven’t done what we need to do to transform its schools. students or the state and federal aid that accompanies them. The city school district won’t want to finance regional schools on its own. And as in the past, some AfricanAmericans oppose integration, insisting that the answer to the black-white achievement gap is better schools and better teachers, more black teachers, a more relevant curriculum. The answer, they say, is not to sit middle-class white children next to poor black ones and hope that something magical rubs off. It’s important to hire more black teachers. A relevant curriculum is essential. But neither can bring about the change we need. The effects of concentrated poverty on children are too big to overcome. And they’re too well documented to ignore. To its credit, last week the Rochester school board took a tiny first step in the direction of a regional school. Thanks to the exhaustive research and enormous dedication and persistence of the advocacy group Great Schools for All, the board approved studying the feasibility of a regional school that would draw both city and suburban students. For a regional school to become reality, a lot of work lies ahead. For one thing, state law will need to be changed to permit a cross-border school. But school districts will also need to support the idea. It’s not too early to start working on that. If you live in the city, keep the pressure on the Rochester school board. If you’re in the suburbs, start talking to your school district’s leaders. A lot’s at stake in this.

City will get traffic court
City residents who receive a traffic ticket will have the same flexibility in dealing with the violation as suburban residents in Monroe County. State legislators approved a bill that lets the city create a local traffic court where drivers can work out payment plans or plead to lesser charges for infractions like speeding. The new legislation doesn’t eliminate fines, and it doesn’t apply to parking tickets. It will be about a year before the court is operational.
Weisberg retiring from United Way
Fran Weisberg, who became president and CEO of United Way of Greater Rochester two years ago, will step down at the end of the year. She was formerly head of the Finger Lakes Health Systems Agency and has chaired the Monroe County Democratic Party. During her tenure, the United Way has housed the Rochester-Monroe County Anti-Poverty Initiative. A search for her replacement begins next month.
Groups push for fossil fuels halt
A coalition of groups from across the state, including the Rochester People’s Climate Coalition and Mothers Out Front Rochester, are asking Governor Andrew Cuomo to stop state permits for new
fossil fuel infrastructure projects. The groups argue that the step is necessary for New York and the rest of the country to wean themselves off of fossil fuels, which generate carbon emissions that are driving climate change. Oil and gas projects remain in use for decades once they’re built, the groups say.

Legislature OKs extensions for sales tax

School board approves studying a regional school
The State Senate and Assembly passed legislation renewing county sales tax rates across New York. In total, the counties risked losing approximately $1.8 billion in revenue. The measures got caught up in a skirmish between the two chambers over extending mayoral control of schools in New York City, but a resolution was negotiated by legislative leaders and Governor Andrew Cuomo during a special session last week.
The Rochester school board has taken the first step in exploring the feasibility of a regional school designed to attract a diverse student body. Board members voted last week to include the measure in a study of the district’s school-choice policy, which already under way.

The school could be much like the one proposed more than a year ago by the educational advocacy group Great Schools for All. The student bodies of most Rochester public schools are predominantly African American and Hispanic, and most of the students are poor. Numerous studies show that academic achievement is difficult in highpoverty schools. A highly diverse regional school has been talked about for years, but it would be nearly impossible drawing only students from city schools. “Because there is so much concentrated poverty in the city, the only way to reach that goal is through our suburban neighbors,” says board member
Willa Powell, who sponsored the board’s resolution. “We know that some of our neighboring school superintendents have expressed an interest.” Great Schools for All surveyed a sample of suburban and city parents and found that support for a diverse regional school was strong if it was available to parents on a voluntary basis. Nearly three-quarters favored the idea of a regional school even if it was located outside of their district, if the programs offered were not readily available elsewhere. New state legislation would be required to create a regional school, and Powell says board members will ask the New York State School Board Association to advocate for the Rochester proposal.
The House and Senate health care bills would essentially cut future Medicaid spending. Local disability rights advocates say they fear that people who receive Medicaid-funded assisted living services may be forced into nursing homes, costing them their independence.
ACTIVISM | BY JEREMY MOULE AND TORI MARTINEZ
Threats to Medicaid lead to sit-in About 25 members of the disability-rights group ADAPT were arrested and charged with trespassing after a sit-in at the Monroe County Republican Committee’s headquarters on State Street last week. The group asked county Republicans to go on record opposing any healthcare legislation that caps or cuts federal Medicaid funding. About 40 people took part in the sit-in, said ADAPT organizer Stephanie Woodward. A representative of the county Republican Party asked the demonstrators to leave, and they said they wouldn’t until the party responded to them, Woodward said. The arrests came at the request of a county GOP representative, according to Woodward. They started about 4 hours after the sit-in began, and the process was negotiated between ADAPT leaders and police officers, according to Rochester Police Chief Michael Ciminelli. Police escorted the protesters to the Center for Disability Rights’ offices less than a block away from GOP headquarters, where they were booked. The county Republican Party issued no statement afterward, and a party
representative said the next day that no officials were available for comment. Senate Republicans’ recently released health-care bill would severely limit future Medicaid spending. It’s basically a cut compared to the current funding approach, which includes money for states that expanded their Medicaid programs under the Affordable Care Act. The Congressional Budget Office has released a pair of analyses on the Senate bill. It projects that the GOP plan would result in a $770 billion difference – 26 percent – in funding from 2018 to 2026. The CBO also estimates that 20 years out, the plan would result in 35 percent less funding for Medicaid. The Senate bill – and the harsher House legislation – has been the subject of dozens of protests since Republican leaders introduced it on June 22. Some Rochester-area disability rights activists were arrested during a protest that day at the Senate; images and video of police pulling Woodward from her pink and black wheelchair circulated across major news sites. Disability rights groups have continued protesting the legislation, taking over several Republican senators’
offices. A day after their sit-in at county GOP headquarters, some protestors stood outside of the building along State Street, holding banners denouncing Medicaid cuts. Medicaid is already underfunded, ADAPT member Nate Baldo said outside of the Rochester demonstration the day of the sit-in. And billions of dollars’ worth of cuts mean that some people with disabilities may lose their coverage for assisted living services. People with disabilities are unable to change their situation, and if they can’t afford assisted living, they’ll be forced into institutions, Baldo said. It should be everyone’s civil right to live where they want, and people shouldn’t be forced out of their homes, he said. “These cuts would be devastating,” Baldo said. Kenyatta DeCosta, a Center for Disability Rights volunteer who was part of the sit-in, uses a motorized wheelchair and receives at-home and community-based services. Medicaid isn’t required to cover those services, but it is required to cover nursing home costs for people with disabilities who can’t care for themselves.

He’s concerned that if Medicaid funding is cut, the services that he and others in his position need will also be cut, forcing them into nursing homes. And that would mean a loss of personal independence and freedom, he said. “It just seems a bit rushed, to put it lightly,” he said after coming out of the sit-in to talk with the media. “I’m sure health care could be improved, costs could be brought down. It’s just a bit more complicated than that.”

Keeping the mentally ill out of prison Ronnie Cox speaks in a soft, gentlemanly voice. His thinning, curly black hair is speckled with white, and his left hand wobbles with a slight tremor when he talks. Cox, who is 64, spent 16 years in prison. He was addicted to heroin and cocaine, and he contracted hepatitis C, a viral infection that often results in liver failure. “I started doing things that got me into trouble in 1974 and ’75,” Cox says. “I was around death or on the verge of death many times, because if you run the streets, that’s what happens to you.” It was just about as easy to get drugs in prison as it was out on the street, Cox says, but he desperately wanted to stop using them. His addiction, however, was compounded by something else in his life that, at one point, landed him in Strong Memorial’s psychiatric unit. Cox had been living with undiagnosed schizophrenia for much of his adult life. “When I was using drugs, I knew I wanted to get off of them,” he says, “but it wasn’t known that I had a mental illness at the time. I can’t say for sure if both went hand in hand.” Cox, who now lives with his sister, quit using drugs cold turkey, something he says he never wants to go through again. He hasn’t been hospitalized for his mental illness in many years, nor has he committed any crime. And he was treated for hepatitis C and is now considered cured, he says. “I finally stopped going against the system and started living within society,” Cox says. “I live a pretty normal life, and I thank the Lord for that.” Cox’s story is not unusual; plenty of Dr. Steven Lamberti led research in reducing the imprisonment of people with mental illness. research shows he’s fairly typical of people PHOTO BY KEVIN FULLER with some forms of serious mental illness.

But like many professionals are aware of the criminalization is to keep you well and keep you out of psychiatric hospitals throughout the county, of people with mental illness, finding effective prison,” Cox says.

For 1980’s and early ’90’s. years, intervention programs designed to R-FACT is sort of a second generation of “At one time, RPC served about 3,000 reduce criminal convictions and repeated Lamberti’s earlier efforts.

professionals that went out into neighborhoods and made house calls was the best way to help patients. ACT, a program Lamberti led out of the University of Rochester’s Strong Ties Community Support Clinic, was the gold standard back then, he says. “I like to call ACT ‘doctors making house calls on steroids,’” he says. “It was psychiatrists, social workers, and health care professionals, this all-in team going right into people’s homes or wherever they were at to get them treatment.” But he began to realize that at the very least, the program needed modifications, because many patients still ended up in the Monroe Country jail, some repeatedly. The ACT team was observing the same results that similar programs in other cities were seeing: careful monitoring of patients and their medication could reduce hospitalizations, but it wasn’t reducing arrests and convictions. Recidivism rates were going up, not down. “We were talking more about failures than our successes,” Lamberti says. A breakthrough came after Lamberti heard a lecture by a criminologist who talked about the “criminogenic risk factors” of people with mental illnesses: antisocial personality, criminal thinking, alcohol and substance abuse, and socializing in environments where criminal behavior is the norm, to name a few. “If you look at these risk factors and what can happen when they become combined with psychiatric issues like paranoia and psychosis, you start to get a different picture,” Lamberti says. “I reflected on our clinical experience with our patients, and I started to see that they had many of these same risk factors and we weren’t being mindful of them.” People with some forms of mental illness have higher rates of criminogenic risk factors, Lamberti says. When the risk factors are paired with their illness, their response to some situations – like meeting a police officer, a figure of authority – is often completely inappropriate. “If you suffered serious trauma, you will have trouble trusting people,” he says. “If you suffer from paranoia, you’re going to experience fear and suspicion of what an officer tells you to do. So once you’re in trouble, it’s harder to get out of trouble. Add those things together and it helps to explain why people with mental illnesses are four times as likely to be in prison.” The R-FACT study showed that patients not only need to be medically

treated for their illness, but they also need highly targeted, individualized treatment for the criminogenic risk factors. “We learned we needed to engage them in the things that drive recidivism,” says Lamberti. “But one of the hardest parts of this whole thing is getting them engaged, because they often reject the help.” Cox, who is now studying to become a peer counselor, agrees. “This is something you have to tell your heart,” Cox says. “You’re either going to do this or you’re not. But you can’t keep dipping and dabbing at it.” He also advises others to never look back. “Don’t dwell on the past,” he says, “and don’t dwell on your injuries and continue to down yourself on the things you did. You won’t have a clear outlook going forward.” Often it takes more than reasoning with
them to engage them, Lamberti says. The other leg of R-FACT is leverage and collaborating with the justice system, he says, and that is key. “When they refuse help, legal leverage is used to promote treatment and adherence,” Lamberti says. But cultivating the right kind of help is critically important, and the mental health and criminal justice fields have only recently been learning how to collaborate with each other, he says. Both fields share some of the same values, he says. “When it works, it’s really amazing,” Lamberti says. “There’s this magic that can happen when mental health and criminal justice are working together.”
Judges can be especially concerned about being seen as lenient on crime, and some just don’t support the concept of this type of program, says Rochester City Court Judge Jack Elliott, who also participated in the study. Elliott presides over a mental health court, which is similar in some respects to a drug court. He may see as many as 40 people a day who have either been arrested or have mandated court appearances. The goal is to use his leverage to keep them in treatment and out of incarceration. “I have to listen to them and decide: Is this something they did because of their illness? Or no, this is just bad behavior,” he says. “I always liken myself to a traffic cop. I don’t decide what kind of help they need. The mental health professionals do that. Then I hold them to it, and if they don’t do the things they need to do, they’re accountable.” What he decides affects everyone around that person, too, Elliott says: “Their children, their parents, their husbands or wives – it’s really challenging.” He says he has no doubt about whether R-FACT works. One of the biggest indications is the number of people he meets nearly every day who thank him for his help. “I walk to work every day, and they stop me all of the time,” Elliott says. “I get it constantly. I never had a job like this where I’m making a difference. It’s a great thing.”
Dining & Nightlife
If you're at the end of a date, but don't yet want to call it night, look to these restaurants, like (pictured) Chocolate and Vines, for late-evening desserts and drinks. PHOTOS BY KEVIN FULLER
Nightcaps and nibbles [ ROUND-UP ] BY MARY RICE
It’s 9 p.m. on a Wednesday, and you’ve just gotten out of a movie or show, but no one’s ready to call it quits just yet. While it may not be the right evening to paint the town, a slice of something sweet and a glass of wine might strike the balance between opening the whole bottle and going to bed early. If you’re looking for a quiet, intimate way to end a date or evening with friends, dessert and drinks can be as low-key or as elegant as you want. For those late evenings when you want to stay out just a little bit longer, CITY has rounded up five places you can sip and nibble until you’re ready to call it a night. It’s no mystery what the specialties are at Chocolate and Vines (757 University Avenue; 340-6362; facebook.com/
chocolateandvines). The green and purple house in the Neighborhood of the Arts has a cozy but stylish dining room where guests can sip on both regional and imported wines — available by the glass or in flights — and graze on desserts and cheese. The cafe is known for its colorful chocolate truffles ($2.25 each), in flavors that range from the traditional (hazelnut praline) to the whimsical (cookies and cream). If you’re looking for a more substantial chocolate fix, the chocolate fudge cake or flourless chocolate cake can deliver on the decadence. Open Tuesday through Sunday, 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. Corn Hill’s Flight (262 Exchange Boulevard; 360-4180; winebarflight.com) specializes in thoughtfully-curated threeglass flights with evocative names like “Dark Star” and “Bare Essence.” The servers are
extremely knowledgeable and willing to share their recommendations, including tips on food and wine pairings. If you’re in a sweets mood, you’ll likely save the cheese and meat plates for another time and skip right to the chocolate flight, which consists of dark chocolate truffles, dipped candied orange peel, and sesame milk chocolate leaves, all from the South Wedge’s Hedonist Artisan Chocolates. Monday through Thursday, 4 p.m. to 10 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 4 p.m. to 1 a.m. There’s nothing like having a good neighbor, and Apogee Wine Bar (151 Park Avenue; 755-0457; facebook.com/ apogeewinebar) is taking full advantage of its proximity to Scratch Bakeshop. Every weekend, Apogee serves up a different selection of cakes from the bakery at 113 Park Avenue, with flavors like lemon-lime, chocolate pistachio, lavender black raspberry, and chocolate caramel cookie dough. It can be tough pairing the constantly rotating cakes with Apogee’s wines, but the servers will meet the challenge. If your timing is good, cozy up in one of the window booths, or in nicer weather, settle at an outdoor table and watch Park Ave go by. Tuesday through Saturday, 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. Henrietta institution Phillips European (26 Corporate Woods; 272-9910; phillipseuropean.com) may serve a variety of classic, continental European dishes, but it’s the desserts that win people over. The
restaurant’s dessert menu is so massive it’s split into five categories, including one just for chocolate desserts (always a positive sign). European classics like crème brulée and Viennese meringue torte are offset by American favorites like apple pie and peanut butter torte. Once you’ve managed to make your choice, pair your selection with a local or imported wine to finish off the evening. Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Fiorella (5 Rochester Public Market, 434-5705, restaurantfiorella.com) in the Public Market has made a name for itself with its homemade pasta and crispy, woodfired pizzas, but this casual, minimalist spot can also satisfy your dessert craving. The chocolate olive oil cake is wonderfully moist, with a healthy drizzle of chocolate sauce spooned over it. The house-made gelato is also a strong contender — go for the trio of vanilla, chocolate, and Nutella if you’re having trouble settling on just one flavor. The fruit crostata features rotating selections of seasonal bounty, so summer is the ideal time to try it out. A small but well-selected wine list (mostly Italian) can help round off the meal. Wednesday through Friday, 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Where do you like to go for a late evening dessert or wine?

CHRIS “HOLLYWOOD” ENGLISH PREACHES THE SECULAR GOSPEL WITH THE ENGLISH PROJECT’S NEW ALBUM [ MUSIC FEATURE ] BY FRANK DE BLASE
If you’ve been around this music scene to any degree, you’ve no doubt seen Chris “Hollywood” English and the smile on his dial. Not just a grin, a grimace, a glower; it’s more of a contagious laugh. It’s an invitation to join in the party and dance to the music. English is a constant around the Rochester scene, both as a fan and as a player with local and regional bands like AudioInFlux, Funknut, The Buddhahood, Subsoil, and The Tim Herron Corporation, and national acts like guitarist Buddy Guy and Asheville’s Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band. From behind the drums and beneath the cool shade of assorted hats, English currently fronts The English Project, a powerful band of heavy hitters. The band jams with soul and R&B undertones, a la Marvin Gaye and Donny Hathaway, with a slight trace of hippie derivative and swirl. But before you call The English Project — with bassist Andres Rivera; guitarist Paul McArdle, keyboardist Dave Solazzo, percussionist Michael Van Munster, and organist Ivan Thompson — a jam band, check it out first. Jam bands are known for their extrapolation and delving into every aspect of a groove. It’s all about the middle. This often leads to a safe, comfortable, mid-tempo hover with no end in sight. Not to be confused with the complacency of comfortable tempos and the temptation to get lazy, English takes The English Project up to a cruising altitude and cuts the engine. And we all get to dance in the freefall and jet wash as evidenced on the band’s excellent debut record, “The English Project Volume 1.” “Volume 1” opens up with “4 Finger Discount,” a jumpy little jazz ditty that doesn’t let the funk get in its way. The whole record sounds like a progressive jazz affair. There are no sharp turns or stops and starts to lose listeners. And English’s deep soul vocal treatment on “Chance to

See” will definitely make The Reverend Al green with envy. It’s with its diverse musical talent and
love that The English Project plays. This goes double for English himself. It’s how he communicates with the world around him. “It’s the only way I can express myself to people,” he says. “I try to give them a good message: to love yourself, to reach out. The music I play is very uplifting. When people come to a show and when they leave feeling uplifted, loved, appreciated — that’s what I feel.” English got the good message and taught himself to play drums when he was just 5 years old. “I started out in church with my parents — who were ministers in the Pentecostal church — and my uncles,” English says. “I watched and learned from my uncles. My mom was a drummer, too. Just watching them
play different kinds of music turned me into a singer and a drummer.” Any of the projects English has his mitts on has a direct line back to the church. To him, there’s little difference between church and secular music; it just depends on which one you choose: “I love you, baby” or “I love you, Jesus.” “It’s not a choice,” English says. “It’s how you word it. It’s pretty much the same thing, just worded differently. In the Pentecostal church there are all varieties of music that you learn from it. And when you go and play the blues or jam band music or rock, it kind of fits in with the gospel. It’s hard to explain to those who haven’t played in the gospel world, but it’s all in one.” English left home at 17 and spent the next
few years touring around the US playing gospel and secular music. He landed in North Carolina when he was 20 and stayed a spell.
While playing with a wedding band on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, opportunity knocked: blues guitar legend Buddy Guy was in attendance. English knew it and pulled off one of Guy’s songs. It was a smart move. “A few days later, I was on the road with Buddy,” English says. “I did that for a year and a half. He was a humble guy, a father figure. Yes, he was strict, but I needed that at that age. I was 22 and a wild dude.” Wild dude or not, English can sing, baby. And since he’s doing it from a drum throne, he’s got ample control on The English Project’s dynamics. But it’s not just his band. In some cases, it’s nobody’s band as it lays back into a groove as if it’s about to levitate. “It’s kinda weird,” English says. “Because we all write. But because it’s my name, everyone thinks it’s my band. We all have a say in The English Project.” Yet besides that big smile, on the other end are English’s itchy feet; the cat moves from band to band. “I try not to stay in one place because you can get bored,” English says. “I don’t just bail: I find another thing that interests me while I try to keep the other thing happening.” Well, it’s The English Project that’s happening now with the new album ready to drop and with another one on deck. English talks excitedly about a music festival he wants to create here in Rochester. And judging from his smile and gregarious nature, English has got to be one of the happiest guys on earth. “I try to be,” he says. “Especially when it comes to music. Every time I’m behind my instrument I just let go and try not to think on the negative and what’s going on in the world today.”

Steve Grills . Little Theatre
The title, and to a greater degree the words on “A Bullet Ain’t Got a Name” — the opening track on Sharon Coates’s beautiful new CD, “here now” — caught me unaware right out of the gate. It’s been rolling around in my head for the past two days; a good lyric will do that. The song laments the futility in searching for ways to treat each other better. It’s as if admitting defeat and accepting that futility is a step in the right direction. The music on this artist’s second album shares the stage with the words; another step in the right direction. Songs like “Got It All” shows a band that respects Coates’s material and doesn’t steamroll through it — although there is a sharp, dynamic incline the musicians, including trumpeter Dave Chisholm, capably mount in high gear toward the end of the tune. And there are sing along spots, like the tunes “Cathedral” and “What You Gonna Do?” Coates sings simply and sweetly with no stunts and no drama; the entirety of “here now” earns its respect through everything she does and everything she avoids. “Here now” plays out as an extension of her debut, “Strange World,” with the same insight and musical intrigue. It will make you sit up and listen … more than a few times.

“Loaded Goat “ Gabby Records reverbnation.com/loadedgoat
Loaded Goat’s new three-song EP plays out in a cinematic display of violence and cool. The record isn’t at all over-the-top, and it keeps the chaos at bay. Though initially a studio-bound one-man-band, Rob Roemer has plugged in some humanity in order to scratch the itch and heed the siren call of the stage. He has added guitarist Tim Lowe and percussionist Mark Osterling. With these cats on board, Loaded Goat gives off elements of Dinosaur Jr. and the Friends of Dean Martinez with it’s fuzzed out basslines and big sky atmosphere. This is Loaded Goat’s second record and its first as a trio. The sound is more mature and a little mellower, and that elusive sync between instruments is all but gone, effectively making Loaded Goat a new band. It will be interesting to see this band live, finally. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Ben Morey and The Eyes FIND THE MUSIC ONLINE AT BENMOREY.BANDCAMP.COM
Ben Morey listens to the news when he writes music. That would explain the clever pessimism running through the song “Been Gone,” from his epic album “Mt. Doom,” just released on June 30 through City of Quality Records and Dadstache Records: “I don’t shudder when I read the news / You know nobody in the cemetery’s got the blues.” “And then the rest of the song is about not being able to pay attention to what’s actually happening in the moment because you’re so worried about these things,” Morey says, “and it’s running through your head all the time.” This sense of paradox runs rampant on “Mt. Doom,” an ambitious rock record that feels at various times hopeful and apocalyptic. “There’s a lot of dystopian kind of stuff on the album, and detachment, nihilism, because of ” listening to the news while composing, Morey says. 14 CITY JULY 5 - 11, 2017
“But there’s also me trying to imagine like these ideal spaces and places where I could sort of escape from reality. The songs, like “The Hill,” are about like heaven, that I could kind of experience musically, to step away from the fact that the world was on fire.” An already busy Rochester musician in the bands Howlo and Dumb Angel, Morey was working on solo material he had originally planned to release as a lo-fi, four-track recording on cassette when the project known as “Mt. Doom” started to take shape. “I just didn’t feel satisfied enough,” Morey says. “I was like, I feel like these are maybe the best songs that I’ve written, and I want to get more experimental with the production, and I want to make it sound as good as I can.” The resulting album was eventually recorded in South Wedge Mission, an unassuming church on Caroline Avenue that has become a prominent venue in the local indie music scene. After attending a show there, Morey soon began hosting concerts in the space. When he approached Pastor Matthew Martin Nickoloff about recording his music there, Nickoloff made him a key to the church.
For three months during the summer of 2016, about six days a week, Morey practically lived at the Mission. And the album quickly became a large collaboration, a far cry from the singersongwriter’s initial, more solitary sessions. “I’ve always kind of played everything myself on all my records, and I’m pretty good at a couple instruments, and then I would kind of just spend a long time trying to get one part on another instrument,” Morey says. “And I thought, this would go quicker and it would sound better if I just got the best person I know to play this part that I’m thinking. Once I had that idea, I was just like, ‘What if this was a big community project, where I got to work with all these people that I admire, to play the thing that I think that they’re best at?’” “Mt. Doom” features a backing band of more than 30 rotating musicians called The Eyes — including members of bands such as Maybird, Thunder Body, Attic Abasement, Green Dreams, Passive Aggressives Anonymous, Paxtor, and more, as well as noteworthy singersongwriters Mikaela Davis and Cammy
Enaharo and Katie Preston of Pleistocene. Their presence is most apparent with the background vocals, which have an irresistible, retro, 1960’s vibe. The vocal contributions of the trio — known as the Vinaigrettes — is Morey’s favorite part of “Mt. Doom.” A Vinaigrettes album is in the works. “They’re in three separate ranges,” Morey says. “Because of that, because they had these immediately defined places in the harmony before we even started, and because they’re just such good collaborators already, they were able to work out the parts so quickly and come up with the most beautiful stuff.” Preston also served as the album’s coproducer with Morey, an experience she says strengthened her own songwriting and musicianship. “Ben has an immense amount of respect for everyone who played on this album as musicians, something I think shows on the recordings,” Preston says. “I knew that from watching Ben interact with the musicians and the amount of freedom he gave everyone that it wasn’t going to sound like anything else he’s done. What emerged was an incredibly creative piece of music, one that has lots of stories.” For an album as cohesive as “Mt. Doom,” the songs have disparate influences: the Carter Family inspired “The Hill” and “Smoking In the Sun”; the music of Neil Young informed “Flowers” and “Shade of the Mountain”; “Black Jacket” draws from The Shangri-Las and the production of Phil Spector; even Johann Sebastian Bach’s influence can be heard on the title track. Thematically, there is something of the spiritual that unites the music, with Morey articulating the delicate bridge between the earthly human experience and intangible otherworldliness. “‘Mt. Doom’ sort of became like an umbrella term for the afterlife, for the record. It gave a name to this fictional, idealist place I was creating on a lot of these songs,” Morey explains. “I think ‘Mt. Doom’ kind of was a name for where we are and also a name for like a place to go, after where we are.” Ben Morey and The Eyes will play a Hidden Garden Concert at the George Eastman Museum, 900 East Avenue, on Saturday, August 19, in celebration of the release of “Mt. Doom.” Pipa player O will open the show. 5:30 p.m. $8-$10. For more info, visit eastman.org.

Independent and self-taught, Williams playfully describes his genre as A.D.M (acoustic dance music), a delightful hybrid of folk and electronica with a summer festival feel. Traditionally a solo act, he has shared the stage with musical icons like Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead, Victor Wooten, and The String Cheese Incident, just to name a few.

OK, the pair struggles with stuff like cold fusion and time travel, but when it comes to tunes or putting on a show, Hank & Cupcakes is the Lamborghini of live acts. Bassist Hank suspends reality with pedal effects that make the duo sound more like a trio or quartet. Vocalist Cupcakes bangs the drums and sings like a bird. The electro-pop duo’s music is infectious and delivers a ton of heat. Just be careful not to burn your pants off. Hank & Cupcakes will perform on Thursday, July 8, at Flour City Station, 170 East Avenue. 9 p.m. $10-$12. flourcitystation.com; hankandcupcakes.com. — BY ROMAN DIVEZUR PHOTO BY ERICH CAMPING

Valentina Peric, co-leader of the Rochester chapter of Girl Develop It, hopes to get more women involved in tech jobs.
PHOTO BY KEVIN FULLER
Who run the World Wide Web [ FEATURE ] BY LEAH STACY
A meeting of Rochester’s Girl Develop It chapter looks a lot like a group of freelancers working in a coffee shop. Heads bent over laptops, brows furrowed in concentration, the click-clacking of computer keys creating a sort of musical orchestration. According to the National Center for Women in Technology, women represent just 26 percent of professional computing occupations in the 2016 US workforce. Girl Develop It, a national, nonprofit organization, is trying to confront that statistic through affordable, judgement-free events and meet-ups for women interested in web and software development. In the Rochester area alone, nearly 700 people have taken advantage of the organization’s resources in its three years of operation, making it one of the largest GDI chapters. Rochester chapter co-leader Valentina Peric has been involved with the group for two years and credits her mother with telling her about it. “This is my favorite story to tell,” says Peric, who is 23. Peric’s mother was working with GDI leader Kristen Seversky’s fiancé, and “somehow, Girl Develop It came up, and she was like, ‘My daughter is a computer science major, I bet there’s some crossover there.’” 18 CITY JULY 5 - 11, 2017
Peric’s mother brought home a bunch of info, and soon Peric found herself convincing a friend to go with her to the next GDI meetup — which happened to be the group’s one year anniversary celebration. At the time, Peric was attending SUNY Brockport and was president of the campus’s Women in Technology Club, which she also founded. She and Seversky hit it off, and within months Peric was a GDI event organizer. “I would have gone through college in an angrier way without (GDI). I look up to Kristen especially — when I met her, I thought, ‘Wow, I could be her someday,’” Peric says. “There’s such a wide gender gap in school and the industry — I’d go to tech events and be the only girl. Growing up, I never thought that computer science was even a thing for me, and I feel like women are not usually pushed toward degrees that are math and science related.” GDI Rochester events are held once a month or more, and are run entirely by volunteers. Attendees RSVP through Meetup. com, and there’s also a Slack channel for GDI announcements. While the “girl” moniker is used, the events are targeted to ages 18 and over — and they’re not just for females. “We’re working with people in their 20’s through retirement, many of whom have decided they want a career change or to learn a new skill,” Peric says. “We also draw a lot of
guys from the Rochester Software Development group. The super awesome guys see the disparity problem and they want to fix it.” One of the most well attended events is the “Coworking Coffee” meetup, which usually takes place at Glen Edith Coffee on Somerton Street or the East Avenue Wegmans. Sometimes, events will feature complementary partner organizations. Emily Hessney, digital marketing manager for High Tech Rochester, a startup incubator located in the Sibley Building downtown, worked with GDI last December to organize a “Holiday Code and Coffee” event at Makers Gallery on Elton Street. GDI members learned a little bit about High Tech Rochester’s programs and services, since working with the incubator could be a valid option for many of them once they hone their coding skills. “Starting your own company is one of those possibilities, so it was a great partnership for both groups,” Hessney says. “In the tech space, we often see a gender imbalance when it comes to the ratio of male to female entrepreneurs. The work Girl Develop It is doing can have a direct impact on giving more women the skills and confidence they need to pursue their own tech ventures.” GDI also “pays it back” with outside projects. One of the biggest undertakings in the last year was a new website for ImageOut, which
several Girl Develop It members volunteered to produce after Terri Cvetan, an ImageOut publications volunteer team member, pitched the idea at a meetup. “I’m also in the tech field, so I’d been going to GDI meetups already,” Cvetan says. “When the team mentioned we needed a new site, I thought, ‘Here’s another volunteer organization that’s trying to do something good, maybe we can work together.’” From March 2016 until the festival launch that October, the group worked to create a mobile-friendly home for the festival’s content. “Everybody had moments where they made significant contributions to the project and got a bit of an experience,” Cvetan says. “It took a little bit of pressure off the ImageOut team, having those extra resources to tackle technical items so they could focus on the creative aspects.” The website was well received by patrons, and overall, Cvetan credits the success of GDI to the chapter’s leadership. “They’ve pulled in people who are excited to share gifts and teach classes, and that enthusiasm for learning is contagious,” Cvetan says. Peric, who recently graduated and landed a job at ITX Corp. as a software developer, was just promoted to GDI co-leader in June. “I want to be involved in the Rochester community making a positive impact, and Girl Develop It is the perfect thing for me to pour my energy into,” she says. “Now, when my mom is like, ‘You’re always doing things with Girl Develop It,’ I’m like, ‘This is your fault.’”

FESTIVAL | GENESEO SUMMERFEST
SPECIAL EVENT | LA CANTINA DRAG BRUNCH
The Village of Geneseo is kick-starting the month of July with its 35th Summer Festival and Sidewalk Days, hosted by the Geneseo Rotary Club. You can spend two days wandering through downtown and Village Park, stopping to shop at various artisan vendor stations, or grab a bite at one of the local churches or Rotary Impulse Tent. There will also be live, local bands playing all day, including The Barley Mob featuring Tim Bucci on Friday night and The Skycoasters on Saturday night. There’s no need to get a babysitter: children can find a bounce house, petting zoo, rock climbing wall, and games. The festival also includes a teddy bear parade, “Summer Fest’s Got Talent” competition, and “Party in the Village” with wine and brew tastings.
Havana Cabana will help you forget about the recent un-seasonable rain and wind with “La Cantina Drag Brunch,” an island getaway-themed brunch. Wash down a Caribbean-inspired buffet with mimosas and cocktails by the pitcher, while enjoying performances by Ortensia de Loren, Miss Deelicious, Vanity Faire, and Darienne Lake, who is a former contestant on “Rupaul’s Drag Race.” A portion of ticket sales will benefit the Gay Alliance of the Genesee Valley.
The festival will take place Friday, July 7, and Saturday, July 8, beginning around 9 a.m. For a full schedule of events, map of the festival, and other general information, visit geneseorotary.com/summerfestival. — BY TORI MARTINEZ E Main St. Batavia.

LECTURE | “SEEING CLEARLY NOW”
THEATER | “RUMPELSTILTSKIN”
Grammy Award-winning R&B and soul artist Monica will perform this weekend at Kodak Center for Performing Arts in the Live+Love+Laugh concert series. Joining her will be three comedians: Anthony Jimenez, also known as Imagine, who has been featured on Latino Laughter and Comedy Central; Georgia-native Mope Williams, who has been featured on BET’s “Comicview”; and New York City-based Kenny Woo.
Saudi activist Mohammed Saad will give a talk, “Seeing Clearly Now: Creative Technology for the Blind in Saudi Arabia,” at the George Eastman Museum discussing his personal experiences as a blind photographer in Saudi Arabia. Saad teaches photography classes to the blind to dispel myths about the capabilities of folks who are visually impaired. Those who attend the lecture will get to see some of Saad’s photographic portfolio, and Saad will also demonstrate his ability to capture audience members’ portraits using voice recognition.
“The queen will never win the game” and Rumpelstiltskin is his name. The audience already has the upper-hand when it comes to the 400-year-old fairy tale made famous by the Brothers Grimm. Coming to Rochester for RAPA’s Family Theatre Summer Show, a kid-friendly production of the story will call upon the audience to participate. Kids and parents alike will learn lessons about honesty and courage, and audience members can meet the cast after the show.
Monica, a Georgia native born in 1980, became the youngest artist ever to have two consecutive chart-topping hits on the Billboard Top R&B Singles chart in 1995. She’s been nominated for four Grammys, and won for Best R&B Performance by Duo or Group in 1999. Most recently, she became known as the woman who revived soul music when she released her latest album in 2015, fittingly titled “Code Red.” Live+Love+Laugh will take place at the Kodak Center for Performing Arts (200 West Ridge Road) on Saturday, July 8. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.; show starts at 7:30. There may be a $5 charge for parking. Tickets can be purchased at Xquisite Boutique (171 Monroe Avenue) or online at kodackcenter.org/shows.

Saad’s activism began with a push to translate Saudi restaurant menus into Braille. Ever since, he has advocated for the blind community in various ways, including training blind students to use Apple devices and to learn computer skills. The tech-savvy speaker also created an Arabic iPhone app called “MANHAL” which provides audio lessons in diverse educational topics for the blind. Most recently, Saad has created the Internet audio station “Sightful Fingertips” in which he mixes music, and he also teaches cooking lessons through social media. Nonprofit organization Rochester Global Connections will host Mohammed Saad’s talk. Admission is free and registration is required on the Eventbrite page. The main lecture will take place from 5:30 p.m. through 6:30 p.m. at the George Eastman House (900 East Avenue) on Tuesday, July 11, followed by a reception until 8 p.m. Local scientist, disability advocate, and researcher Luticha Doucette will moderate the discussion.

The warm weather brings with it Rochester’s largest summer film event: the annual JCC Ames Amzalak Rochester International Jewish Film Festival. Marking its 17th year, the festival celebrates Jewish culture and heritage through nine days of film screenings, live performances, guest directors, and post-film discussions. The RIJFF begins Sunday, July 9, and runs through Monday, July 17, at The Little Theatre (240 East Avenue), the Dryden Theatre at the George Eastman Museum (900 East Avenue), and the Hart Theater at the JCC (1200 Edgewood Avenue). The festival’s closing night will be at a new venue this year, Nazareth College’s Arts Center (4245 East Avenue), for a screening of the Oscarnominated documentary short film, “Joe’s Violin.” The short follows the moving story of Holocaust survivor Joe Feingold, who donates his prized violin to a school instrument drive, allowing it to reach the hands of Brianna, a young Bronx schoolgirl. That screening will be followed by a performance from Nashville-based Americana duo Wisewater, featuring Webster-native Kate Lee and Forrest O’Connor — both are members of the O’Connor Band, which recently took home the Grammy for Best Bluegrass Album.

“Abulele.” PHOTO PROVIDED
What follows is CITY’s take on 10 highlights from this year’s lineup, which is just a hint of what you can expect to find over the course of the festival. General admission tickets to each film are $12 ($10 for JCC members) and $5 for students; matinee tickets are $9 ($7); opening and closing night tickets are $20 ($15); festival passes are $185 ($170); and matinee passes are $60 ($45). For more tickets and a full schedule of films and events, visit rjff.org. Tickets can also be purchased by calling 461-2000 or in person at the JCC. The festival gets started with the family-friendly fantasy “Abulele,” from Israeli director Jonathan
Geva. Still coping with grief over the death of his older brother, 10-year-old Adam (Yoav Sadian) is befriended by the Abulele, a giant, mythical creature resembling a large gorilla with a deep, gravelly voice and the cat-like eyes of Toothless from “How to Train Your Dragon.” As Adam helps the Abulele keep one step ahead of the mysterious government forces who are hunting him, the friendly beast helps the young boy feel a little less alone in the world. Geva is clearly going for an “E.T.” style tale and, some pacing issues aside, it’s a charmingly heartfelt, small-scale adventure story. (SUNDAY, JULY 9; 1 P.M.; DRYDEN THEATRE)
An unfortunate accident leads to a major rift in a small, tight-knit Jewish community in RIJFF’s Opening Night selection, “The Women’s Balcony.” When the balcony of the neighborhood’s gender-segregated synagogue collapses during a bar mitzvah celebration, the incident leaves the rabbi’s wife in a coma and the rabbi himself unable to carry out his duties. The devout congregation’s future seems in jeopardy, until a new, charismatic young rabbi helpfully offers up his services. However, it soon becomes clear that he intends to enforce some rather conservative ideas about faith and worship, and many of those ideas have to do with keeping the women of the synagogue in check. Then the rebuilt synagogue is unveiled and no longer has a section for the women. The congregation immediately splinters along gender lines, “Fanny’s Journey.” PHOTO PROVIDED leading to all-out battle of the sexes. Smart direction from first-timer Emil Ben-Shimon Inspired by a true story, “Fanny’s and a sharp script from Shlomit Nehama Journey” follows a group of eight Jewish offer up a light-hearted, but meaningful (and children on a desperate quest for survival often quite funny) examination of sexism and as they flee Nazi-occupied France.

possible smoking weed with his neighbor’s son (Tomer Kapon); and Vicky is eager to dive back into her normal daily routine. But it’s clear both are doing anything they can to avoid actually dealing with their loss. Polonsky brings a necessary, mordant humor to a story about being forced to transition back into normal life when you’re not sure “normal” is still possible. (WEDNESDAY, JULY 12; 6 P.M.; LITTLE)
In his weird and wonderful documentary
“Monsieur Mayonnaise,” director Trevor
never sets out to provide concrete answers, leaving viewers to decide for themselves the path through guilt and reconciliation in seeking a way to move forward together. (MON., JULY 10; 8:30 P.M.; LITTLE THEATRE)
The inspirational “My Hero Brother” celebrates the bonds between brothers and sisters as it follows a group of young people with Down syndrome as they set off on an expedition through the Himalayas with their siblings. Director Yonatan Nir gives us an intimate look at both the physical and mental challenges of living with Down syndrome as well as the complexities of growing up alongside someone with special needs. (TUESDAY, JULY 11; 6 P.M.; LITTLE)
Writer-director Asaph Polonsky brings a light touch to the heavy subject of grief in his debut feature, “One Week and a Day,” which finds middle-aged suburban couple Eyal (Shai Avivi) and Vicky (Evgenia Dodina) processing the recent death of their 25-year-old son. The film begins just as Shiva (the Jewish period of mourning) has ended, and as anyone who has experienced it knows, that’s when grief gets the opportunity to truly kick in. Husband and wife cope in their own ways: for Eyal that means spending as much time as
Graham follows artist and filmmaker Philippe Mora as he researches his late father’s exploits in the French Resistance, hoping to turn the extraordinary story into the subject of a graphic novel. This is probably the only documentary to incorporate archival footage of Hitler, Marcel Marceau, and the nuttiest clips from werewolf flicks “The Howling II” and “Howling III” (both directed by Mora). The framing structure featuring Mora as a film noir detective adds nothing to an already stuffed narrative, but thankfully it doesn’t detract from its wildly entertaining story either. (THURS., JULY 13; 11 A.M.; JCC HART THEATER)
“We are made of memory,” someone says late in “Shalom Italia,” a compelling documentary from director Tamar Tal Anati. The filmmaker chronicles a trip undertaken by Bubi, Andrea, and Emmanuel, three octogenarian brothers in search of the cave in Tuscany where as children their family hid to escape the Nazis. The journey soon turns into a poignant examination of memories and how they shape our identity, asking us to consider what we remember from our lives, how we remember it, and occasionally what we choose to forget. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the director. (SUNDAY, JULY 16; 7:30 P.M.; DRYDEN)

The 19th Ward is Rochester’s largest neighborhood. Annexed by the City of Rochester from the Town of Gates in 1902, the original settlement called Castle Town emerged in the early 1800s because of its location on the Genesee River. Dubbed a “streetcar suburb,” by the early 20th century the 19th Ward became home for many of Rochester’s working professionals. Like many of the homes in the neighborhood, the American Foursquare at 27 Dunbar Street was built between 1880 and 1940, and like many of these homes, its original charm blends seamlessly with its updated features. Located on a corner lot on one of the neighborhood’s tree-lined residential streets, this 1922 Foursquare has a charming exterior. The paint color is pale green and the trim is sunny yellow. Shutters and a third floor dormer accent the front and a flowering crabapple tree shades the columned front porch that retains its original wood ceiling. A low hedge at the home’s foundation adds curb appeal and welcomes you.
Fairport, $159,900: Charming Village Colonial. This home boasts; a large front porch, BIG Master Bedroom, deck, patio, an above ground pool, detailed foyer w/incredible wood staircase, etc... Some upgrades include; tear-off roof, maintenance-free exterior with therm windows, electrical panel.

Inside, the vestibule has impressive original details—dentil moldings, mosaic floor tile, and a French door opening to the spacious living room that has a fresh coat of robin’s egg blue paint and a gleaming hardwood floor. The spacious dining room, with a wall of windows enhanced by a lovely window seat and more gleaming hardwoods, is the perfect spot for large dinner parties or small family gatherings. The kitchen beyond has been impressively updated with oak cabinets, stainless appliances, glass tile backsplash, and
tile flooring. A modern laundry room and half bath complete the first floor. Upstairs are three bedrooms—two with original hardwood floors. The third is updated with bright paint colors, carpeting, and built-in storage—a great child’s room. The full bath has its original medicine cabinet. The original linen cabinet and laundry chute in the hall complete the second floor. The unfinished third floor provides additional storage space and the home’s mechanics are in the finished basement. Outside, the garage has space for two cars and the backyard is serene and private. Surrounded by a high hedge, roses and hydrangeas are the stars here. A lovely pedimented side entrance porch, lined with pretty pink blooms, allows access to the backyard. This period home is close to modern conveniences. The main thoroughfares of Thurston Road, Genesee Street, and Chili Avenue have restaurants and shopping opportunities. The neighborhood is a short drive from the University of Rochester and Strong Memorial Hospital. Genesee Valley Park, designed by renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, offers plenty of recreational options. This 1,160 square foot home is listed at $74,900 with taxes of $2,478.

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 24 ]
[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’ll be attracted to someone from your past. Don’t let fond memories interfere with the facts. If things were perfect when you were with this person, you’d probably still be together. Don’t forget the reason it didn’t work the first time, and you’ll spare going through the same grief again. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Take part in activities that you find entertaining. Spending time at a cultural event or trade show that is geared toward your favorite pastime will bring you into contact with someone who shares your interests. Having common ground is a good and solid base to form a long-term relationship.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Be careful not to promise someone the world when you only want to give him or her a small portion of your time. Fair is fair, and necessary, if you don’t want to end up avoiding someone who inevitably shows more interest in you than you do in return. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’ll be attracted to someone who is not available. Don’t waste time pining over the loss of a past lover or waiting for someone to make the first move. Take charge of your personal life, and be the one to socialize and mingle with people who are better for you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Just be who you are, enjoy doing the things you love to do, and you’ll have no trouble attracting someone who is in awe of your free-spirited, funloving personality. Love at first sight is likely to come your way when you least expect it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Not everyone will be happy with the partnership choices you make, but you have to go with what you feel is best for you. Meeting someone at a function that is dedicated to a cause you believe in is likely and should not be avoided to appease friends or family.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’ll be caught off-guard by someone who comes on strong, leaving you little time to make a decision as to whether you should stay or go. Don’t let anyone persuade you to get involved if you are the least bit unsure. Take a rain check and walk away. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your unique way of doing things will intrigue someone watching you from a distance. You may be the secretive, mysterious one, but you’ll attract partners who share these traits. You’re likely to be taken by surprise at the amount of time someone has taken to observe you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It’s all about love, emotions and living in the moment when it comes to romance. But before you leap without looking, consider you may be offered a false impression by someone who has ulterior motives. Err on the safe side to avoid disappointment and possible loss of reputation or cash. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll be drawn to someone who possesses the same energetic enthusiasm you bring to any relationship you take part in. A challenging beginning will determine whether the person you choose is capable as well as willing to match you every step of the way.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Use your charm to win hearts, and everything else will fall into place. An opportunity to be with someone quite unlike your normal choice will lead to unusual pastimes, emotional excitement and the chance to combine two different lifestyles to form an exceptional longterm relationship. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your generosity will have to be curbed if you don’t want to attract partners who want to take advantage of your kind and loving nature. Giving too much too fast will leave you in a predicament that is emotionally, financially and mentally difficult. Don’t believe everything you are told.
