Cherry-picking the Constitution Mr. Thomas Mangan wrote a long letter to the editor (Feedback, November 2)
regarding his objection to Mary Anna Towler’s article, “A soccer team gives us an example of patriotism (Urban Journal, October 19).” The team from the World of Inquiry School followed the example set by others by kneeling during the national anthem at a match in protest of the treatment of minorities. I will not bore everyone with my life story, but I will say that I am actually from the South and was not just passing through. I am also an Army combat veteran of the Vietnam War, and I fought for the right of people to express themselves, as our Constitution guarantees. The First Amendment guarantees an individual’s right to express opinions and views, and to ensure a free exchange of ideas, even if the ideas are unpopular. It guarantees an individual’s right to physically gather with a group of people to picket or protest. It also guarantees an individual’s right to petition the government for a redress of grievances. These guarantees are clear. You cannot pick and choose the Constitution, Mr. Mangan. You cannot also fully explain away the racism still present in these verses of “The Star- Spangled Banner”: No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave, And the star-spangled banner 2 CITY
in triumph doth wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave. O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand Between their lov’d home and the war’s desolation!
“Freemen” in those days meant free white men, not even including women. I abhor Mr. Mangan’s version of patriotism. He should, as we all should, support and defend the Constitution of the United States, even the parts with which we disagree. CLAYTON ADAMS
Reality missing from protest criticism
Thomas Mangan sees the world perfectly through his own eyes and wonders why others do not. Perhaps what Mr. Mangan saw in the South during what he refers to as the “segregation era” is what these young athletes see in Rochester today. Statistics reveal glaring inequities in education and access to career training and employment. The stigma of racial bias and violence resulting from hopelessness and despair is impossible to deny. One wonders whether the way Mr. Mangan views his upbringing in the South Bronx, where race “didn’t mean a thing,” as the way his black and brown classmates would remember it or see it today. He could demonstrate real courage by stepping back from his eagerness to lecture and engage in a conversation with these brave young men and listen, really listen to better understand why they take to the athletic field to make visible what those outside their reality refuse to acknowledge or face. Sports is one of the few avenues remaining where our segregated lives come together under the illusion of not seeing race.

Who knows? Mr. Mangan might decide to champion their cause and widen his understanding of what it means to be a true patriot. STEVEN JAROSE
End Citizens United
On January 21, 2010, the US Supreme Court made a ruling that is known as “Citizens United.” It allows for unlimited donations from individuals and foreign entities that can be anonymous. As it stands, it could lead to great corruption. Imagine, our government strongly shaped by anonymous donors. After John Paul Stevens, the Supreme Court justice, retired on June 29, 2010, he said in a subsequent 60 Minutes interview that he regretted the Citizens United decision. To paraphrase the Gettysburg Address, we might have a future government of the Super PAC’s, by the Super PAC’s, and for the Super PAC’s. This ruling needs to be revoked!
Winston Churchill said, “You can always count on Americans to do the right thing, after they’ve tried everything else.” Let’s hope so! HOWARD WEISS
Lack of involvement is disheartening
Why was voter turnout across the country and in New York so low? Only 45 percent of people registered voted in the presidential election, and only 28 percent voted in local elections. Where are these missing people? Have they moved? Are they in college? Did they go to a nursing home or pass away? Did they stay home because they didn’t like the candidates, or are they exercising their right not to vote? I was an election inspector this year and saw people who were only voting in the presidential race. Some
asked who to vote for. At the voting booth is not the time to ask those questions, and we cannot tell you how to vote; it’s electioneering. You have to inform yourself or flip a coin. This is a failure of either the voter or the systems in place to educate. The board of elections in every county has a ballot in your district to preview. In this day and age of Google, you should be ashamed to walk in the door uninformed. It is disheartening. Younger people need to join their local party committees. Moms and dads need to get their children involved. I pushed a double stroller and collected signatures from my neighbors. Volunteer and you will learn so much. Register voters with the League of Women Voters, who are praying for young volunteers. Change happens all year and improves with more involvement. The World War II generation and the boomers are very civic-minded, but the baton has to pass. I know this because I lead a town democratic committee because no one else wanted to. Older volunteers are tired. Opportunities to lead are there. I was shocked by Trump’s win, and by Joe Errigo’s win in Monroe County. This district voted for someone who made racist comments. Come on, that is sad. The local races affect you more with road repairs, snow removal, bridge repairs, job creation, and how your local property taxes are spent. And to the Bernie or Bust people: pour your passion into education and activism. Join a party that fits you best, and volunteer. Live your values with volunteerism. We need open primaries in New York to engage more people, too. People complain, but if you are not more involved in the process than voting every four years, you’re cheating those who do pay attention.
Brava to JCC for open captions
JULIE BEHLOK
AMY BROWN
We had the pleasure of seeing JCC’s first open-captioned production (“Church & State”) at CenterStage on October 23. Open captions are written displays of the script shown on a screen on one side of the stage. The captions flowed synchronously with the actors’ speech. Sitting in one section of the theater, we could read and hear the play simultaneously. CenterStage has collaborated with Geva (which offers open captions) in making them available to theatergoers who might have difficulty understanding dialog from the stage. Broadening accessibility for theatergoers with hearing loss benefits both the theaters and people who otherwise find it stressful to enjoy plays. As members of Hearing Loss Association of America Rochester Chapter Inc., we applaud another Rochester theater which has added open captions to its offerings.

President-elect Trump
People vote for someone who is like them or who has qualities they’d like to have. The results just show that the worst of America won. The racism, misogyny, and hate were all just sitting there in the deepest guts of the country until Drumpf came along like an emetic and it all came pouring out. SAM MITRA
Trump DID not win by a landslide. In fact, Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. It’s just that Trump won the Electoral College. In reality, more people voted for Clinton. Unfortunately, we lost the House and the Senate, which doesn’t allow us to have much leverage. The midterms are going to be more important than ever.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
After Trump’s ‘triumph’ There is no bright side. President-elect Donald Trump has started walking back some of his promises. A fence, maybe, instead of a wall. We’ll just deport criminals at first, not all undocumented immigrants. We’ll improve Obamacare, not repeal it. And he didn’t really mean all those campaign rants and threats, according to his apologists. That was just campaign hyperbole, the kind of thing candidates have to say to get elected. Relax if you like. But there is no bright side. The nation’s next president is a xenophobic nativist who has bragged about sexually assaulting women, whose lack of experience, vindictiveness, and volatile temperament make him not just unsuited for the job but dangerous. Mike Pence, Stephen Bannon of Breitbart News, Rudy Giuliani, Newt Gingrich: We have known from the start what kind of people Trump would surround himself with. And the Congress that will be in power come January is full of Trump enablers. Together, they will set this country back in ways that will haunt us for decades. During his campaign, Trump was clear about his attitude toward people of color, toward women, toward Muslims, toward immigrants, toward people with disabilities. Now he can turn that attitude into terrible action. Backed up by the Supreme Court. Just as serious: his rhetoric is giving other Americans license to do great harm. It took less than a day for that to begin to exhibit itself here in Rochester, with a Muslim American woman reporting that two people had already told her to go back home where she came from, and someone burning Pride flags flying at two different homes. In Wellsville, someone painted “Make America White Again” and a swastika on a softball field dugout; at SUNY Geneseo, a swastika and “Trump” were painted on a dorm. On a bus in New York City, according to New York magazine, a white couple harassed a Muslim Hunter College student, yelling that she had to remove her hijab. Maybe these are the outbursts of a few extremists. Maybe their hate-filled celebration will flame out, and calmer heads will prevail among the Trump supporters. But a racist, anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim sentiment was clearly a factor in Trump’s win. Trump bellowed out that sentiment. And numerous Republican leaders embraced him.
The future of the country hangs on what we learn from this election, and how we act on what we learn.”
This country’s traumatic history of discrimination and violence against minorities was never a thing of the past. Now, the person in charge of the president’s strategy will be a man who has been head of a white-nationalist, antiSemitic media company. Climate change, income inequality, Social Security, LGBTQ rights, abortion
rights, health care, international relations, diplomacy: Donald Trump and the hard right will be in charge of all of that come January 20. So: there is no bright side. But there are lessons in this election outcome. And the future of the country hangs on what we learn from them, and how we act on what we learn. Here are a few on my mind right now: 1) It’s long past time to address the needs of the unemployed and the underemployed. Technology and trade
agreements have left millions of Americans unemployed or underemployed. That is a fact. Better public policy could have helped prevent that, and we haven’t summoned the will to act. Donald Trump promised the moon in his campaign, but he can’t snap his fingers and create manufacturing jobs. And as important as infrastructure improvements are, we won’t solve all the problems of the unemployed with massive road, sewer, and bridge projects. Not everyone is skilled in those jobs. Not everyone lives where the work is needed. And short-term construction work is not a long-term career. Real solutions won’t come overnight. Some will take decades. But we’ll never get the equitable, strong economy we need if politicians in both major parties didn’t learn one of the big lessons from November 8: Many people were motivated continues on page 8 rochestercitynewspaper.com

Spreading hate
More white supremacist fliers were spread in Pittsford in the days following Republican Donald Trump’s election as president. At least some directed viewers to whitenewyork.org; whiterochester. org now directs there, too. And at SUNY Geneseo, a swastika and “Trump” were scrawled in the common area of a dorm. The incident is being investigated as a hate crime.
Pride flags burned
A rainbow flag was burned on Atlantic Avenue and another on Marion Street on November 9. The Rochester Police Department is treating the incidents as arson and is working with the Gay Alliance of the Genesee Valley to resolve the cases.
MacDonald may take plea
Pittsford resident Martin MacDonald was offered a plea deal for allegedly shoving an autistic teenager during a race in Cobbs Hill Park in October. The incident gained national attention and prompted accusations of racism against MacDonald, who is white. The runner is black. If he takes the deal, MacDonald would have to do 120 hours of community service.

Progressives undoubtedly hoped they’d have an ally in President Hillary Clinton — even if she wasn’t far enough left for many of them. Instead, with Donald Trump, progressives will face a president who is apathetic at best and hostile at worst to their causes and concerns.

The initial signs aren’t good. President-elect Trump appointed Myron Ebell, an outspoken skeptic of climate change, to oversee the transition of the Environmental Protection Agency. And you can probably wave goodbye to the Affordable Care Act. Locally, some activists say they are worried, but they’re not giving up. They need reassurance that their state and local officials, as well as the community, will fight with them, they say. And you can still lobby state and local governments for progressive policies and causes.

Slaughter is an ardent supporter of Obamacare, which Trump and the Congressional GOP want to repeal and, Trump says, replace. She won’t stand for attempts to roll back reproductive rights, and she’s worried about potential GOP efforts to alter Medicare, she says. And as far as immigration goes, Slaughter and Trump are opposites.
POLITICS | BY JEREMY MOULE
Slaughter, Schumer brace for war Anytime Democrats or Republicans get whupped in a big national election, the pundits and chattering classes inevitably pose some existential questions: What went wrong? Does the party have a future? What is it? The 2016 presidential campaign was so ugly that reporters and TV talking heads are autopsying both parties. But there’s a different, practical discussion worth having before President-elect Donald Trump takes the White House in January: How can House and Senate Democrats buffer America from the worst parts of the Trump agenda and the agendas of the House and Senate GOP majorities? House Representative Louise Slaughter and Senator Chuck Schumer -- the likely Senate Democratic leader -- will be key players when it comes to pushing back on Trump and the GOP, but also in moving good legislation forward. Slaughter and Schumer are skilled at getting issues in front of the media and the public, which can help build public pressure for or against legislation. Slaughter starts her 16th House term in 2017, which makes her one of the most senior representatives in either party. She’s influential among Democrats, but has also
built meaningful cross-aisle relationships, which helps her shape legislation of local and national significance. “I’m hoping that we can have some meetings of the minds,” Slaughter says. “Our job is to move the United States forward, not to hold up one side or the other, but to do what’s best for the people that sent us.” Slaughter is an ardent supporter of Obamacare, which Trump and the Congressional GOP want to repeal and, Trump says, replace. She won’t stand for attempts to roll back reproductive rights, and she’s worried about potential GOP efforts to alter Medicare, she says. And as far as immigration goes, Slaughter and Trump are opposites. But she and many other members of Congress have common ground with Trump on trade. Neither Trump nor Slaughter supports the North American Free Trade Agreement or the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership; Trump has vowed to renegotiate the former and withdraw the US from the latter. Schumer will likely be the face and voice of Senate Democrats, as well as one of the conference’s key tacticians. He can be tough, and won’t shy away from
manipulating procedural rules in the chamber to block legislation – Slaughter says it might be possible for Senate Dems to block an Obamacare repeal -- and appointments, including Supreme Court nominees. Republicans have used a similar approach to great effect during Barack Obama’s presidency. Senate Democrats will spend the coming weeks figuring out how they’ll move forward, Schumer said in a postelection press release. Monroe County Clerk Adam Bello finds himself in a similar situation as Slaughter and Schumer, since county government is also dominated by the Republican Party. He is Democrats’ chance to let some air into a government that has been choked by cronyism and scandal. Bello was appointed to the office in January and elected to a full four-year term last week. In his first months, he pushed back on past practices by his predecessor, now County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo, particularly on passport fee waivers that violated federal law. He’s articulated a vision for the office that includes tech upgrades and a full-time downtown DMV office, but those ideas take money. Dinolfo will release her 2017

budget proposal soon and it could leave Bello -- who is widely mentioned as a possible county exec candidate down the line -- without the funding to implement his plans. Bello beat the Republican candidate, Greece Town Clerk Cheryl Rozzi, by a substantial margin; he pulled in 58 percent of the vote to Rozzi’s 42 percent. So if he makes a public case for a downtown DMV office, for example, the Dinolfo administration may face pressure to cooperate.

DISABILITY RIGHTS | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
Disabled still fighting for equal access
Ericka Jones, far left, Stephanie Woodward, and Rasheem Broughton say the disabled must have better access to buildings. PHOTO BY RYAN WILLIAMSON
When Rasheem Broughton goes to shake hands, it’s a bit like lifting a broken wing. His hand floats in midair and his grip is soft and loose. Broughton has spent much of his adult life in a wheelchair. A gunshot wound when he was in his teens left him a quadriplegic with multiple disabilities. But it doesn’t hold him back or keep him from doing what he wants to do, he says. He works and is an active member of the community. “You learn to roll with it, quite honestly,” Broughton says. “You learn to take the obstacles as they come.” People with disabilities are in many cases no different from everyone else. They want good jobs, quality housing, and to spend time with family and friends. They like to shop, dine out, and go to movies and the theater. Most of the time, it’s not their disabilities that stop them from doing these things. The challenges come down to a combination of mobility, accessibility, and the need for stronger enforcement of the Americans with Disabilities Act, they say. “We don’t have concerns about our physical state,” says Stephanie Woodward, an attorney and director of advocacy for the Center for Disability Rights. “When you say physical concern, we say ‘disability.’ That’s who we are and we’re very proud of who we are and our disability identity.” Woodward, who sports a hot pink wheelchair, says she grocery shops the same as everybody else. “I will be found in the pizza roll section at least once a week, but it’s no more amazing 6 CITY

when we do it than when a nondisabled person does it,” she says. Mobility is critically important to the disabled, says Ericka Jones, an advocate at CDR. It’s more complicated than it is for a nondisabled person, and not something you can take for granted, she says. “It’s a different beast for people who are born with a disability compared to those who acquire their disability,” she says. But for both, there are issues with transportation that require advance planning. “You constantly have to figure out how you’re going to get from place to place,” Jones says. “You can’t ever decide on a whim that you want to go somewhere or do something that may involve transportation.” Jones once spent Christmas in the Buffalo airport eating vending machine snacks because the airline didn’t have the proper equipment to get her on the plane, she says. When you have to use a wheelchair, that becomes a major consideration in everything you do, Woodward says. “You can’t just hop in a taxi and you can’t just hop in with an Uber driver – we don’t hop anywhere,” she says. “Those of us who do have a car, we either have a lift system or a ramp into our vehicle and those are incredibly expensive.” But mobility is only part of the problem.
Sometimes business owners, builders, and developers fail to comply with the American with Disabilities Act, which often results in a denial of access to someone who is disabled. The ADA, which passed nearly 30 years ago, prohibits discrimination against people who are disabled and ensures equal
Activism continues from page 4
opportunity in terms of employment, accommodations, and transportation. A disability is defined as a physical or mental impairment that substantially interferes with one or more major life activities, such as sight, hearing, or cognition. For many people, that activity is walking, Woodward says. “But what concerns us is our physical environment,” she says. “I’m concerned that where I want to go will discriminate against me by not allowing me in. As a lawyer, if I can’t get into a building, that prevents me from doing my job.” Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren is especially strong at promoting accessibility, Woodward says. “Her administration takes it very seriously and we’re very excited about that,” Woodward says. She cites the Clear the Snow so All Can Go campaign, a city ordinance that requires property owners to clear the snow off their sidewalks or pay a fine. But access even in the middle of summer remains a serious problem, Woodward says. Some businesses still don’t meet the minimum standards for providing access, including some that have been renovated. It’s not prohibitively expensive to fix an entrance, she says; if there are multiple steps, the business may be required to provide a ramp in a new or different entrance. David Stever, owner of Stever’s Candies on Park Avenue, did that during a remodel, and the ramp on his Vassar Street entrance gets a lot of use, he says. Even those small one-inch bumps in doorways can be a major problem, especially to someone like Rasheem Broughton, who is in a power wheelchair. “When you’re trying to fullthrottle a power chair to jump that inch- high curb, it doesn’t always go straight in,” he says. “You can go side to side.” Broughton has scraped his hands and even broken parts of his chair trying to overcome those bumps. “Compliance is a cost of doing business,” Woodward says. Ignorance about the law or neglect is not an excuse, and sometimes legal action is required, she says. “We’re portrayed as villains,” she says. “I don’t think we’re villains for trying to get to the same place you can get into without even thinking about it.”

to vote for Trump not because of racism or xenophobia, but because they want jobs and financial security. Donald Trump could actually lead this effort. And yet the news Sunday was that an initial Trump move will be to search for and deport as many as 2 to 3 million immigrants who he says are criminals and are in the US illegally. Smart political move, maybe; it may make Trump supporters feel better. But it won’t create jobs. It won’t improve anybody’s wellbeing. What we need are jobs that offer a stable future, college that is affordable, job-training programs, policies that lift wages. But those are expensive. And the country will have no way to pay for them after Trump and a Republican Congress cut taxes and ramp up military spending. Jobs were a key issue in this campaign. Unless we act, they’ll be a key issue four years from now. 2) The Democratic Party needs major reform.
On November 8, Democrats lost an election they should have been able to win. We can spend the next decade debating whether Hillary Clinton was the best candidate the Democrats had. Certainly she entered the campaign with a ton of baggage, and Democratic Party operatives seem to have underestimated its seriousness. But that wasn’t the only problem, and complaining about the FBI’s e-mail investigations – as Clinton is – is a dangerous distraction. Trump was promising change, and despite Barack Obama’s growing popularity, Clinton and her surrogates didn’t make a case effectively for continuing and expanding his policies. Just as serious: the Clinton camp reeked of elitism. It had an exclusivist, we-knowbest attitude at a time when young people in droves had been getting involved in public policy and political activism. The remnants of the Occupy movement, the growing Black Lives movement, the Fight for $15 movement: young people were involved in all of those. Bernie Sanders gained the loyalty of many of them. Clinton never did. And, in fact, she and her surrogates could be downright condescending toward them. There was former Secretary of State Madeline Albright’s comment at a Clinton rally last February, telling young women who were supporting Sanders: “There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other.” There was feminist icon Gloria Steinem, at that same Clinton rally, adding to the insult: “When you’re young, you’re thinking: ‘Where are the boys? The boys are with Bernie.’” And there was Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” description of Trump supporters. 8 CITY
NOVEMBER 16-22, 2016
You can’t insult voters in one breath and win them over in the next. Donald Trump is not a populist. His policies won’t help many of the people who voted for him. And a strong Democratic candidate should have been able to defeat him. Now, the Democrats have to wait two years for a chance to win control of the Senate, and the odds against them will be enormous then. And it’ll be four years, of course, before they have another chance at the White House. Given the work that has to be done, and the thinness of their bench, it may take that long for Democrats to turn their party around. At the moment, Democrats need a strong group of leaders, to not only reshape and reinvigorate the party but also to reinvigorate the rest of us, to help us overcome our disillusionment, to inspire us, and to keep us focused on the job ahead. Fortunately, we don’t have to look far for that leadership. It’s work tailor-made for Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden, and Barack Obama. 3) As for the rest of us? We have work to do. Protest marches are important. But that has to be followed by activism. And we all need to be in this for the long haul. This week, we’re publishing a partial list of local activist groups, and we’ll add to it throughout the coming weeks. Find one and get involved. The hard work – on justice issues, civil rights, the environment, health care, jobs, and all the rest – will have to start here at home.
Hampson and Wightman
The community lost two outstanding, creative members earlier this month, and this publication lost two friends and former writers, Tom Hampson and Warren Wightman. Tom – whose name is familiar to any area jazz lover, thanks to his long-running, engaging show on WXXI radio – initiated our coverage of jazz, bringing his knowledge, his experience as a musician, and his passion to our readers for several years. Warren, a brilliant, multitalented man, wrote about science and nature in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s. Each was an expert, with an astonishing breadth and depth of knowledge. And each had a unique ability to write about what he knew in a way that was both authoritative and great fun to read: interesting and personal. You felt you were listening to them talk, and they were talking especially to you. They loved what they wrote about, they were generous in sharing their knowledge and their talent, and we’re grateful for their important contributions to our pages.

Dining Penny pinching provisions [ CHOW HOUND ] BY KATIE LIBBY
Some of us are starting to feel the panic of the holiday season — especially when it comes to the balance of our bank accounts. A few of the things I am especially thankful for around the holidays include my Amazon Prime subscription (free two-day shipping is a necessity for all procrastinators out there) and the fact that there are plenty of places in the area to score happy hour cheap eats. Go forth. Eat, drink, be merry, and save your money. 2Vine (24 Winthrop Street) has recently undergone some major renovations, both to the space and to the menu. I’m a new disciple of the almighty oyster — I found the nerve to try them only a few years ago — and now I look for $1 oyster nights with fervor. Monday through Friday, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., 2Vine not only has $1 oysters, but $7 oyster shooters (basically a shot of Bloody Mary mix and vodka with an oyster at the bottom). The happy hour menu also includes mini fish tacos ($6), beef sliders ($6), and baked oysters ($5). Ox and Stone’s (282 Alexander Street) happy hour runs Tuesday through Friday, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Not only can you choose from an assortment of $3 tapas, glasses of sangria are $7, margaritas are $5, and all specialty cocktails are $1 off. Some selections from Ox and Stone’s tapas menu include flour tortilla chips with fresh guacamole, fire roasted
peppers, and chiles rellenos. Who knows, after a few of those $5 margaritas you might order the fried crickets. The happy hour at Avvino (2541 Monroe Avenue) runs Tuesday through Friday from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and includes $5 sushi rolls. All are chef ’s choice and change weekly, but the menu always includes at least one vegetarian option. Happy hour also include $5 glasses of their house punch and $3 sake, beer, and wine specials. If you’re looking for a happy hour that extends beyond Monday through Friday, West Edge Restaurant and Lounge (284
Exchange Boulevard) has deals on Saturday as well. From 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., all drinks are $1 off and all social plates and flatbreads are half price. Crab cakes, made with jumbo lump crab, roasted red pepper pesto, and lemon aioli, will only set you back $7. The chicken confit, caprese, or chef ’s featured flatbreads are $5.50 to $6.50, and vegetarian cheap eats include risotto fritters ($3.50) and tempura fried spring vegetables ($3.50). Other notable happy hour specials include $12 Mussels and Beer Mondays at Amore (1750 East Avenue) from 4 p.m. to close. Salena’s (302 North Goodman Street, Village Gate) happy hour is Tuesday through Friday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. and features $2.50 Dos Equis drafts, $1 off other drafts, and $1 off margaritas. Select appetizers are also on special including the Dos Equis Braised Chicken Wings ($3.50) and Queso Fundido ($2.75).
If you're looking to save some pennies while eating out this holiday season, check out these happy hour specials. (Top left) Salena's has $2.50 Dos Equis drafts and $1 off margaritas, along with food deals. (Bottom left) West Edge has specials on Saturdays, where all drinks are $1 off and flatbreads are half price. (Above) Ox and Stone's happy hour features $3 tapas, sangria for $7, and $5 margaritas.

The company has only made 312 bottles of the stuff and half are already sold. Tastings will be available at Black Button
Distilling for $8, which will be applied toward your purchase if you decide to buy a bottle.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19 FLOUR CITY STATION, 170 EAST AVENUE 9 P.M. | $10 | FLOURCITYSTATION.COM; WESTENDBLEND.COM [ SOUL ]
As much A Tribe Called Quest as it is The Dap Kings, West End Blend is a beautiful amalgam of funky soul, R&B, and hip-hop. And although it gets lumped in under the jam band idiom, this 10-piece kick-in-thebutt from Hartford, Connecticut, is infinitely more cool and rockin’. It’ll get under your skin and into your bones. Upward Groove and Matt O’Brian will also perform. — BY FRANK DE BLASE
Young M.A SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19 MAIN STREET ARMORY, 900 EAST MAIN STREET 8:30 P.M. | $40-$75 | MAINSTREETARMORY.COM; YOUNGMAMUSIC.COM [ HIP-HOP ]
Young M.A had one of the most ubiquitous tacks of the summer. The Brooklyn-based rapper’s “OOOUUU” — just like it sounds — blew up, and the 24-year-old is still at the beginning of a wild ride: she performed the hit at the 2016 BET Hip-Hop Awards, and the song has gotten attention from Beyonce, Nicki Minaj, the Game, and Jadakiss. In a lot of ways, M.A is emblematic of the future of popular New York hip-hop — she’s openly gay, challenging stereotypes, and has built a DIY force in the social media age. We can expect a lot more summer hits from Young M.A. 6 Borough and DJ Grand Imperial will also perform. — BY JAKE CLAPP

Hawker M. James FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18 LOVIN’ CUP, 300 PARK POINT DRIVE 9 P.M. | $5 | LOVINCUP.COM; HAWKERMJAMES.BANDCAMP.COM [ ROCK ]
It was Hawker M. James’s 2015 release, “Long Playing, Low Fidelity,” that launched my love affair with his music. The songs were so catchy that no amount of lofidelity (which I love just as much) can take that away. James remains as enigmatic as his music, re-inventing himself and his approach. His latest single, “Love Like a Hurricane,” is a little bit slicker, bordering on epic ballad territory a la Matthew Sweet. I’ve seen James in various inceptions, from solo acoustic to full-on band, but his songs keep it all slick, glued, and smooth. Susanna Rose will also play. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Now, they tour the world as Bohemia, playing a vibrant strain of one of the world’s most popular genres. Opening at the beautiful Lyric Theatre will be The Rita Collective with accordion player extraordinaire Maury Rosenberg (from Hypnotic Clambake). — BY RON NETSKY

Here’s a slab of pure, badass, American psychobilly. The Grease Creepers keep up with the style’s reverb-drowning, bassslappin,’ guitar-twangin,’ Bigsby-bangin,’ snare drum-bashin’ aesthetic. On “Fresh Cut,” Grease Creepers’ 13-track debut, the Rochester band sounds a lot like classic Cramps with its bravado and tight pants strut and preen. Now people tend to think the “psycho” prefix refers to the accelerated tempos and schlock horror topics, but in this type of music, it applies when a decent singer with drama, pathos, and ethos delivers with an exaggerated hiccuppunctuated croon. And thankfully that’s the case here. The singing absolutely rules on this record: it caterwauls suave and demonic as hell as it summons Lux Interior and The King from the grave. Live, the band is pedal to the floor with an impressive dynamic range in its songwriting, and “Fresh Cut” captures that energy perfectly. A great soundtrack to driving recklessly. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Evan Meulemans “Lilac Drive” Self-released evansongs.bandcamp.com
[JAZZ]
Just Jazz Trio. Pythodd Jazz
If Evan Meulemans’ excellent new album, “Lilac Drive,” only contained the opening track, “Wisconsin,” it would be great — it would leave you wanting more. But the song has a beautiful build-up that leads into the down-stroke guitar joy of the next cut, “Some of My Time,” a tune that glows with sunshine-y pop. The whole album, 10 tracks in all, is optimistically mellow but in no way a downer. “Lilac Drive” ebbs and flows with a solid footing and a rock ‘n’ roll feel without the volume. Meulemans’ voice is hard to nail down. Is he a baritone? Is he a tenor? His vocal style is strident yet melodious as the words articulately spill out. The whole affair is produced with a gentle albeit steady hand. The guests — like producer Dave Drago and singers Susanna Rose and Jon Lewis, to name a precious few — add to this are plugged in sparingly and appropriate. This is predominantly an acoustic record with the music serving at the pleasure of the storied songs that come off with the catharsis of intimate pages being torn from a diary. It sounds like autumn. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

12 CITY NOVEMBER 16-22, 2016
Parked beneath an ever-present chapeau, mild-mannered Nate Coffey is a superhero without the cape and tights under his street clothes. Despite his encyclopedic knowledge of the guitar, bass, and more, this unassuming cat is steeped in modesty. He plays loud but isn’t what you’d call a boisterous person. He plays his own guitar but doesn’t honk his own horn. You might even say he’s bashful. Coffey becomes one with whatever instrument he is playing, in whatever style he is playing, and with whichever band he’s playing. Come to think of it, I’ve never seen Nate Coffey without an instrument — guitar, bass, drumsticks, whatever — in his hands. The man is music … all kinds of music. “I’m not a one-trick pony,” Coffey says. “People don’t know all the stuff I do. ‘Oh, I didn’t know you played flamenco guitar; I didn’t know you played upright bass.’ I try to be modest and not come across as some bonehead egomaniac. And that may hold me
back a bit. But I’m starting to let that go.” As guitarist for The Buddhahood, Coffey jumps on board the brass section’s blast of bombast, with the band, in turn, giving him carte blanche to riff at will. When teamed up with singer-songwriter Teressa Wilcox’s delicate storm, his bass cradles and roots the chanteuse’s mezza-soprano, all the while sending harmonic responses skyward that beautifully counter the melody. Coffey’s playing style is a kind of openended, blues-based wail. And that’s not all, folks. Coffey positively rocks finger-style flamenco guitar as a Spanish guitar duo with Matt Sauer every Friday happy hour at Havana Cabana. In addition, people can see him play a little bit of everything on Wednesday nights at Murph’s Pub in Irondequoit where he holds an open jam. Coffey caught the bug early on. He started out at age 11 as a drummer in his dad’s band, BC Enterprise, before landing a weekly gig with Uncle Big Bad and the Railroad Movement at Mastrella’s Steak House. “I was making 50 bucks a week,” Coffey says. “I was happy.” Next, he and his cousin formed No Control. It was the big 1980’s and Coffey says
he learned every Bonham lick there was. And he dressed the part. “I had zebra-striped pants, cut my shirt into fringe,” he says. “My girl had the big hair and the tight jeans. It was great.” No Control won a battle of the bands at the Dome Arena. Things kicked into high gear when Coffey turned 16. “My mom came home from work with a guitar case a co-worker had in his closet,” Coffey says. “I opened it up. It was a 1976 Fender P-Bass. My jaw dropped. I was like, ‘I’m in,’ so I spent two weeks up in the attic learning my dad’s music. He made me audition; he was tough on me. I had to cut it. And within two weeks, I replaced his bass player.” This, all the while he was learning the guitar. Coffey’s tenure in his dad’s band taught him to listen and feel, qualities that have made him an in-demand session player and side man. But unlike other multi-instrumentalists, Coffey doesn’t approach an instrument with the rudiments and application of another. He plays guitar as a guitar player.
“I totally hear my place in whatever element I’m in,” he says. “And as a bass player, you’ve got to support the guitar player, you got to lock in with that drummer.” Coffey’s bass playing is rhythmic and supportive yet melodic. It’s definitely more than just part of the foundation. “I try to color the music wherever it’s appropriate,” he says. “To enhance it. That’s my whole goal: to enhance. If I’m playing with other people, I’m going to be a supportive player.” In addition, Coffey has played and produced in the studio and played live with more area artists including Joff Wilson, Jimmie Highsmith Jr., Brian Rath, and the late Paulie Rocco. It’s all sort of like, “Insert Coffey here.” To clear up his chameleon status, Coffey has just released his third CD, “Rise Above It,” an eight-song slab of pure Coffey that’s steeped in a groove-conscious attack centered around a jazzy nonchalance and progressive attitude. There’s funk; there’s jazz; there’s even a little retro soul-pop number called “Shooting Star” that Marvin Gaye would have loved to get his hands on. With so many outlets for his music, Coffey starts out writing a song with no clear destination. “I write first before assigning it,” he says. And you too can learn to play like Coffey — or you can try anyway. Coffey teaches bass and guitar at Northfield Music, Experience Music, and The House of Guitars. Coffey has traveled some, playing his guitar in Spain, South America, and Jamaica. He even winds up getting gig’s when on vacation. He can’t help himself. “I’ll take a vacation, meet some people, and end up getting a gig,” he says. And because he gets carsick easily he doesn’t tour as much as he’d like in and around the states. “After about five hours, I’m like, ‘Where’s the Dramamine?’ But he plays it safe and avoids the lifestyle associated with working musicians like his dad. “He lived life to the fullest and burned out too quickly,” Coffey says. “I do play it safe. I don’t do massive amounts of drugs; I’m not on tour; I’m relatively healthy. I’m all about spreading the good vibes, and spreading the love with a positive feeling.”

CLASSICAL | CIRQUE DE LA SYMPHONIE
There is a sense of expectation and wonder that comes with the quickly approaching holiday season. On Friday and Saturday, that magic arrives early when the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra and its music director, Ward Stare, present Cirque de la Symphonie in the appropriately grand Kodak Hall.

Heads, they lose “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead”
PRESENTED, ALONG WITH “HAMLET,” BY THE SHAKESPEARE PLAYERS OF ROCHESTER REVIEWED SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12 CONTINUES THROUGH SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19 MUCCC, 142 ATLANTIC AVENUE THURSDAY AND SATURDAY AT 7:30 P.M. (“HAMLET” ON WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY, 7:30 P.M.) $9 -$19 | ROCHESTERCOMMUNITYPLAYERS. ORG; MUCCC.ORG [ REVIEW ] BY LEAH STACY
The Shakespeare Players of Rochester, through November 19, present “Hamlet,” directed by Peter Scribner, in repertory with Tom Stoppard’s 1967 play “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead,” directed by Jean Gordon Ryon, which explores “Hamlet” through the lens of lesser-known characters. The productions share a cast, and are presented alternating days and times in order to allow audience members to see both performances. When the play begins, Rosencrantz (Sean Michael Smith) and Guildenstern (Skylar Shaw) are dead — or, are they? Even they don’t seem to know how they exist. The plot, at first, seems a sort of holding pattern, a purgatory, an existential state of being: characters waiting for a story. (And to that end, the production has often been compared to Beckett’s “Waiting
for Godot.”) To take their minds off this plight of non-existence, the duo banters, plays “Questions,” and flips a coin which consistently lands on heads. The curiosity of this luck prompts Guildenstern — the analyst of the two — to wonder if they are in some sort of alternate reality. And so they are. They don’t exist yet, in a way, because their part of the story doesn’t exist yet. The audience, of course, has figured out by then that they are watching “Hamlet” from behind the curtain — “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead” might be considered a spinoff of “Hamlet.” Here, onstage, is Hamlet (played to hilarious satire by Spencer Christiano), bidding his love interest, Ophelia (an appropriately wan Jamie Tyrell), to “get thee to a nunnery”; there is Hamlet’s newly crowned uncle, Claudius, and adulterous mother, Gertrude. The characters — except Rosencrantz and Guildenstern — seem to come and go as they please. “It’s like living in a public park,” Rosencrantz cries. Each of these scenes is fleeting, as are the roles of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern in “Hamlet.” They are but messengers, perhaps friends of Hamlet, who are ultimately betrayed and killed. “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead” takes the cameos in “Hamlet” and makes them leading roles. The Player (Bill Alden) and the seven Tragedians, who are ultimately part of Hamlet’s revenge, have fuller roles in this production than they do in “Hamlet.”
Smith and Shaw are well cast in the leading roles. They’re about the same age, and both actors do a commendable job with the massive amounts of snappy dialogue and rhetoric. Facial expressions and body language are equally important in this show — a fact that, no doubt, director Jean Gordon Ryon emphasized in rehearsals, as none of the actors appear despondent at any point. Smith, who is a local filmmaker, plays the part of the airheaded Rosencrantz to perfection, fluctuating between an empty mind and the throes of anxiety. Shaw’s Guildenstern, as the thinker, has many of the quotable lines in the show, which Shaw capitalizes on. The Player’s experience and confidence is a good balance to the youth and insecurities of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, and Alden has a strong stage presence. Between him and the leading duo, there were many laughs from the audience. (And if Christiano’s Hamlet portrayal is any indication, that would be a very entertaining show to see either before or after this one.) The set, designed by John Jaeger, is simple. MuCCC’s stage area has been built up into a wide corner staircase of a few steps, and the only scene with significant set pieces comes near the end of the play, when a sea voyage is suggested. The bareness of the stage adds to the questions of existence throughout. Lighting by Chris McCormack and sound by Ken Dauer is also minimal, though effective. Costumer Sarah Michelle Scarpulla stays traditional with the costumes, including stately crowns, satin dresses, and breeches. Ultimately, the success of the show relies not on special effects but on the acting and the script to carry the audience through two and a half hours — three acts, with two 15-minute intermissions — of dialogue. Inside the program, there’s an insert dedicating both shows to the memory of Carl E. Girard, an active young member of the local theater scene and 2002 Nazareth College graduate who passed away earlier this year. This, like many other things, is a testament to the hard work and camaraderie shared by Rochester’s performing artists. Rochester is fortunate to have a theatrical society dedicated to Shakespearean works, and a repertory venture is a particularly admirable accomplishment, especially on the budget and time constraints of a community group.

Art teasing slices again and again, at times using mirrors to frame an incomplete view of a whole, and alludes to opulence and abundance without tipping into the cold vulgarity of excess. At many points, any ravenous curiosity about celebrity is quieted and humbled by Opie’s focus on the basic humanity of the woman. These images “satisfy our curiosity about the private life of one of Hollywood’s most enduring legends,” Molesworth writes. “However, the photographs do not feel invasive or sensational. Rather, Opie’s camera caresses tabletops, knickknacks, and furs like a small child running her hand over appealing surfaces so as to learn them better.” The power of the work comes from a gently exciting push and pull between what is recognizable from Taylor’s public life and the glimpses of her private reality — how the accoutrements of her accomplishments and fame were interpreted by the Catherine Opie shot “Balloon Shades” (pictured) at Elizabeth Taylor’s California home close to the end woman herself and incorporated into her of the star’s life.

SPECIAL EVENT | ALTON BROWN: “EAT YOUR SCIENCE”
THEATER | “A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM”
Food Network personality Alton Brown will bring his “Eat Your Science” tour to Rochester on Friday, November 18, 8 p.m., at the Rochester Auditorium Theatre (885 East Main Street). Brown was the Peabody Award-winning host of “Good Eats” for more than 10 years, when the show’s unique mix of food, science, and comedy made it one of the most popular shows on the Food Network channel. Brown has gone on to host “Cutthroat Kitchen” and “Next Iron Chef,” and will debut a new Internet-only show, similar to “Good Eats,” in 2017. Brown’s latest interactive live show combines food, science, comedy, and yes, even singing.
Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” gets a modern twist from the Nazareth College Department of Theatre and Dance. The comedy tale of star-crossed lovers and misused magic now focuses on gender identity in order to make audiences ponder the question: what does it mean to be male or female? Director Lindsay Reading Korth’s production features gender-bending characters such as Bottom and Oberon to further the commentary on gender roles present in many of Shakespeare’s plays.
“Eat Your Science” is kid-friendly and Brown chooses members of the audience to be his culinary assistants. Tickets are $52 to $153. 222-5000; rbtl.org. — BY KATIE LIBBY Godsepll.

Lighting the way “Moonlight”
They force an audience to relate to others even when there’s no obvious commonality; bonded (R), DIRECTED BY BARRY JENKINS only by our shared humanity. OPENS FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18 Open-hearted and immensely moving, the luminous “Moonlight” allows its audience [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW to become part of a young, gay black man’s journey to find himself. Only the second We as a nation aren’t exactly in a good place at the feature from writer-director Barry Jenkins moment; people are disillusioned, angry, sad, and (following “Medicine For Melancholy” all the things don’t show signs of improving any time way back in 2008), “Moonlight” is also one of soon. As humanity consistently finds new ways to the best films of the year. divide itself, it feels that we’re only growing more Based on the play “In Moonlight Black Boys and more frightened: of ourselves, of each other, Look Blue” by Tarell Alvin McCraney, the story and what the future might hold. incorporates elements taken from his personal In troubled times we often turn to art for an experience as well as that of Jenkins (both grew escape, but more critically, art can also reflect and up in Miami’s Liberty City housing projects shape the way we think — it can challenge our where “Moonlight” is set). It follows the life of preconceived notions and make us view the world Chiron, picking up at three critical points in his in a new light. Roger Ebert famously said, “The life: childhood, as a teenager, then finally as an movies are like machines that generate empathy. adult. In the first section, Chiron (Alex Hibbert) It lets you understand a little bit more about is known as “Little,” a nickname given to him different hopes, aspirations, dreams, and fears.” by the schoolmates who relentlessly bully him. Withdrawn and shy, he’s a target because those around sense that he might be gay, even if he doesn’t yet understand what that means. Hiding out from his bullies in an abandoned apartment building, Little is discovered by a local drug dealer named Juan Alex Hibbert in “Moonlight.” PHOTO COURTESY A24 FILMS (Mahershala Ali).

Treating the boy with a disarming gentleness, he brings Little home to his girlfriend Teresa (singer Janelle Monáe, warm and affectionate in her feature debut). They show him kindness when the young boy needs it most, and over time Juan becomes a father figure to the young boy. The couple offer a respite from Little’s mother, Paula (Naomie Harris), a nurse who slowly drifts from casual drug use into the depths of addiction to crack cocaine. We next pick up with Chiron (Ashton Sanders) as a teenager. His only friend is a loquacious boy named Kevin (Jharrel Jerome), and he’s still isolated. As Paula has descended further into addiction, it’s clear that his childhood has taken a toll, and the wounds run deep. In the last chapter of the film, Chiron has grown up. He’s now going by the name “Black” (Trevante Rhodes), and is now living in Atlanta and dealing drugs. He’s hardened both mentally and physically, his muscles and armor built to protect and shield himself from the world. He’s transformed himself, constructing a new identity for himself based on what he’s come to believe being a man really means. But an unexpected phone call sends Black journeying back home to Miami to grapple with his past, his relationship with his mother, and just maybe, to reconnect with Kevin (now played by the magnetic André Holland). It’s hard to talk about the story without sounding somewhat reductive. On its face, this tale is a familiar one, but the details and the way Jenkins burrows inside his protagonist sets it apart. Though it involves drugs, incarceration, and the ever-present threat of violence, “Moonlight” is not a gritty tale of life on the streets; the result is much more impressionistic.

Film Previews Full film reviews available at rochestercitynewspaper.com.
It’s reminiscent of “Boyhood” in depicting how events in our life send us down certain paths, and how they shape the person we ultimately become. Jenkins gives his film a heightened, almost dreamlike aesthetic: cinematographer James Laxton cranks up the color and saturation, while the evocative musical score by Nicholas Britell provides the beat. It’s a testament to Jenkins direction and his ability with actors that the entire ensemble is extraordinary. Most remarkable are the three actors portraying Chiron: they don’t much look alike, but their performances create the throughline for the entire film. Despite the physical changes, there’s a clear connection as Sanders and then Rhodes each convey how remnants of Chiron’s younger self are present in the older. Through downcast eyes and tiny gestures, they show us the guarded heart at the center of a wounded young man. Naomie Harris is excellent in a role that could easily tip into cliché. Both Jenkins and McCraney’s mothers struggled with addiction, and her character is informed by their real-life experiences. The same goes for Mahershala Ali, who finds the truth at the heart of each of his character. Both intimate and expansive, “Moonlight” is exhilarating filmmaking. Immediate and achingly emotional, it offers what, at their very best, movies can provide better than any other art form: a deeply felt sense of empathy. We might not necessarily share Chiron’s experiences, but we understand them. Above all, the film is a beautiful and heartfelt plea for compassion, and that feels exactly like the world could use more of right now.

Opportunity on Versailles
287 Versailles Road Situated on a quiet street that is lined with shade trees and family-owned houses, 287 Versailles Road has the potential to be an impressive home in a neighborhood that truly fosters a sense of community. Throughout the day, neighbors can be seen walking down the street and greeting each other. Just one block from the Irondequoit town line, there are many walkable destinations near Versailles Road. One of the most popular destinations is the Olmsted-designed Seneca Park and the Seneca Park Zoo, both just a short walk away. Like its neighboring homes, this 1,300 square foot Colonial was built in the 1920s. While the windows have been updated, 287 Versailles retains is original clapboard siding along with several other historic features such as leaded glass windows in the living and dining rooms and charming wood trim throughout the house. The first floor consists of the kitchen, the living room, and a dining area. Once refreshed, a decorative fireplace in the living room has the potential to be a charming focal point—and a would-be buyer is very likely to find the original hardwood floors beneath the current carpeting. Adjacent to the well-lit living room is an enclosed sun porch. This space could be used as a sunny office, a cozy playroom, or even an extra guest room. The second floor houses three good-sized bedrooms, each with ample closet space and
windows that allow sunlight to fill the second floor. The bathroom features a full bath/ shower and enough square footage for a new owner to update or restore the bathroom. The third-floor attic is spacious and untouched. A buyer with vision and commitment could transform the wide-open attic into a stunning master bedroom or loft space. Like other houses on the block, this home’s backyard is grassy—shaded by old-growth trees. The yard is fully fenced, providing privacy and the opportunity to let your pets enjoy the outdoors. The yard also features a newer storage shed and access to the onecar garage. This home comes with kitchen appliances and a washer and dryer. The home has a central air conditioning system and forced-air heat. The basement provides additional storage space and has plumbing to accommodate a simple half-bath, which could be readily updated. A home with much potential, 287 Versailles Road is listed at $88,900. To learn more about 287 Versailles Road or to schedule a visit, contact Jim Flammia of Nothnagle Realtors at 585-347-1823. by Lisa Feinstein Lisa is Vice President for Institutional Advancement at The Strong and an avid fan of historic architecture and neighborhoods.

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.
