As for Harold Jewell criticizing the Hamilton cast for criticizing Pence (Feedback, November 30): The play is about politics, so political comments seem very appropriate. As for PK White being skeptical of the wage gap (same): “If it’s really happening, sue,” seems fair enough. Yet discrimination is often hard to legally prove, and people with plausible legal claims sometimes can’t afford lawyers. With women taught to be polite, they sometimes aren’t aggressive enough with legal claims (or salary negotiation), and they receive unfair criticism if they are. Men going into higherpaying fields on average isn’t the wage gap per se, but can be a different sexism problem. ALAN GILFOY
Readers responded to Mayor Lovely Warren’s intention to eliminate red-light cameras in the City of Rochester (News,
December 1):
How about instead of targeting minorities, we instead stick the camera on EVERY single light. I have noticed how the richer/whiter sections of town don’t seem to have them as often. Also, some of the ones with cameras on them have the quickest green to red I have ever seen. I’m on a bike and can’t be ticketed by them, but it’s ridiculous. So if you want red-light cameras, either make them everywhere or nowhere. DAVID4
I see the “poor people are targeted victims!” crowd is at it again. Which makes more sense, that a study was done before these cameras were installed that discovered trouble intersections, or someone said, “Hey, let’s stick these in poor neighborhoods!” “Yeah, that’s a great idea! We’ll target the people who are least likely to pay their fines!” Dummies. ERIC MALONEY
How does this even remotely fix anything? Instead, it says, “Hey, go ahead and run the lights since we no longer have anything to stop us.” Maybe what they should do is learn to drive, and if they have more than two unpaid tickets they should have their license revoked. ONTARIO REP
Should Rachel run?
Former WROC journalist Rachel Barnhart is considering a run for mayor
(News, December 5):
I haven’t seen too many people more fiercely protective of the city than Rachel, or more proud to be from here. She’d be a good advocate. DONOVAN WILLIAMS
She already is hated among the GLBT community for her friendly visits to gay-bashing radio hosts Kimberly and Beck and Lonsberry, and for trying to say that Harry Bronson was out of touch when he certainly is not. She appears to want elected office so bad she is willing to trample over anyone to do it. JR TEETER
I can tell you as part of her campaign, Bronson’s sexuality was never mentioned because it wasn’t in question. Rachel, of all people, wanted a race on the issues and not identity. And it was never brought up because she’s in full support of Bronson and the LGBTQ community. TAMARA TURCOTT

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
Lovely Warren’s right about red-light cameras News from Trump Tower continues to dominate everything else, but let’s focus on a local development – a positive one: Mayor Lovely Warren wants to end the city’s red-light-camera program. As Warren says, the program has been unpopular since it was initiated six years ago during the Duffy administration. (City Council will hold an open forum on Warren’s request on December 15 –at about 5:15 p.m., following its regular committee meetings – and will vote on it on December 20.) To my surprise, a fair number of people have been really upset about Warren’s decision. Well, not upset that she wants the cameras taken down. They’re upset at what she says is the main reason: that the program has disproportionately affected poor people in Rochester. The cameras were promoted as a publicsafety measure: a way to reduce the number of accidents caused by motorists running red lights. They were put up at many of the intersections with the worst accident record, many of which are in or near the city’s poorest neighborhoods. A 2014 study of the program, updated this year, found that on the whole, the red-light cameras achieved the city’s goal: they reduced accidents. But that wasn’t true everywhere. At some sites, there was no change. At several others, the number of accidents actually increased. The study also showed that most of the cars getting tickets belonged to people who lived in the city’s poorest neighborhoods. Well, Warren’s critics have argued, so what? Everybody has to obey the law. If poor people don’t want to get fines, they shouldn’t run red lights. And if the program has reduced accidents at most of the intersections, why should we end it? Because, as Warren says, it’s hurting poor people more than other people. Rochester is engaged in an extensive effort to combat its extreme level of poverty. That’s not going to be easy. But we can’t fight poverty with one hand and increase it with the other. Tickets for the red-light violations are $50, and if you don’t pay that on time, the amount grows. Nobody likes having to spend $50 on a fine, but to Rochester’s poorest residents, $50 can be catastrophic. It can mean the difference between being able to pay the rent and losing your apartment.
We shouldn’t try to reduce poverty with one hand and have public policies that increase it with the other.
It can also threaten your livelihood. Many residents of Rochester’s poorest neighborhoods are the working poor, employed in low-paying jobs. There are almost no jobs in those neighborhoods, so if you’re among the working poor, a car can be essential. And if you get a ticket for a red-light violation and can’t pay the fine, police may boot your car. Which means you can’t get to work. A couple of things about the publicsafety argument: First of all, more than half of the red-light violations were for a “technical violation”: not coming to a complete stop before turning right on red. Others were for stopping but with the front wheels just into the crosswalk area. These are not people roaring through a red light. These are many of us, who slow down, look to the left, see nothing coming, and turn right, or hesitate a second before putting on the brakes. And City Council member Elaine Spaull, who opposed the cameras when Council first approved them, says we could find other ways to reduce accidents: lengthening the time the caution light is on, for instance, and installing timers that show motorists and pedestrians how many seconds remain before the light turns red. Public policy – in housing, criminal justice, and other areas – has already done great harm to the poor, many of whom are people of color. But any time we find that a government program – no matter how well intentioned at the start – is disproportionately hurting the poor, we need to change it unless there is a compelling reason to keep it. rochestercitynewspaper.com

A bi-national agency adopted a controversial new plan to regulate water levels in Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River. Plan 2014 lays out criteria for determining how much water passes through Moses-Saunders Dam. But the plan is controversial, largely among some residents on Lake Ontario’s south shore, who say that it could lead to property damage.

And that’s why the thousands of Water Protectors encamped on the reservation haven’t budged, even though the US Army Corps of Engineers recently issued a decision that puts a hurdle in front of the project. The agency won’t approve an easement for the pipeline to cross Lake Oahe, which the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe uses for drinking water and irrigation, until further environmental reports are prepared and alternative routes are evaluated. “It is a victory that our voices were heard, but it’s something we have to stay vigilant about,” says Lauren Jimerson of Victor. She and her son, Angel, 18, joined Water Protectors at camp Haudenosaunee, a site within the Oceti Sakowin encampment, for a few days in late November. The Jimersons are Senecas, and the Seneca Nation is part of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy.

“The first step is to ‘otherize’ and criminalize and demonize and that’s always a failure because it’s a fundamental untruth. These kids are carrying more than what other kids have to carry, so maybe we should stand in awe of them.” [ FATHER GREGORY BOYLE ]
EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
Trauma at center of gangs Many black and Latino gangs operated in the housing projects near Father Gregory Boyle’s church when he started working in East Los Angeles 30 years ago. He was warned not to walk through the neighborhood. “I remember early on a police car pulled over next to me because I was this white guy walking in the projects, which meant I was probably there looking for crack,” Boyle says. When the officers asked what he was doing, Boyle pointed to the church and said he was the new priest. “I said, ‘I’m walking in my parish,’ and one of the cops said, ‘We don’t recommend it.’” he says. Boyle, a Jesuit priest and author, led the development of an alternative school, Homeboy Bakery, and eventually the nonprofit Homeboy Industries in East LA. The work-study model is considered the pre-eminent approach to gang-member rehabilitation, spawning over 140 similar programs in the US. Boyle was supposed to appear in Rochester on December 1, but cancelled. He’s expected to reschedule the lecture for after the first of the year. Boyle has devoted much of his adult life to working with gang members in some of Los Angeles’s poorest neighborhoods. He
understands the challenges that educators, students, and families in urban communities face throughout America where the temptation is to marginalize poor children and their families. The birth of alternative schools such as Boyle’s is the result of zero tolerance policies toward children who misbehave, he says. “The first step is to ‘otherize’ and criminalize and demonize and that’s always a failure because it’s a fundamental untruth,” Boyle says. “These kids are carrying more than what other kids have to carry, so maybe we should stand in awe of them.” Students would typically get kicked out of their traditional public school for fighting, for example, and have no place to go. “They would be standing outside wreaking havoc and selling drugs and I would walk out to them and say, ‘Hey, if I found a school that would take you, would you go?’ Every one of them would say yes, but then I couldn’t find one that would accept them,” Boyle says. “That’s when we knew we had to start a school.” The students attend school part time and work part time at one of Homeboy’s venues such as a bakery, Homeboy apparel, and Homeboy grocery and food products. The work-study approach, though initially

promising, proved insufficient, though, and it took years for Boyle to realize that something else was needed. After years of being demonized, most of the young people need to be brought into a caring, therapeutic community to mentally recover, Boyle says. “There’s isn’t a single gang member who walks through our doors that doesn’t have a storehouse of terror, torture, violence, abandonment, and abuse of every description,” he says. “These are folks who need healing to have hope restored, to have the damage done healed. Damaged kids will be damaged people unless we tend to them.”
New downtown DMV? Downtown Rochester will once again have a DMV office, provided the money for it wasn’t stripped out of the budget last night. The County Legislature was due to vote on the budget yesterday and county Republicans, who hold the majority in the Leg, may not want to give Adam Bello, the Democratic county clerk, a high-profile win. Bello wants to renovate lobby space in City Place, 50 West Main Street, for the office. A mobile DMV currently operates there every Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. Bello’s proposal calls for two additional cashiers at City Place. The full-time office would be open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday. “Rochesterians deserve fulltime, reliable DMV services,” Bello said during a press conference Monday. The state operated a DMV office at the Sibley Building until 2003. When the office closed, the county rolled out the mobile units as an alternative. But the arrangement is confusing, inconvenient, and inequitable, officials said. Users aren’t always sure where to go, and not everyone has Internet access to find out, Mayor Lovely Warren said. Warren and Bello said that the office is also needed because people are increasingly living and working downtown. A full-time DMV is a matter of convenience for them, they said.

The Public Market’s new winter shed will house the market’s indoor vendors and have a glass front so people can see inside. PHOTO BY KEVIN FULLER
New programs, new look for the Public Market The Rochester Public Market is much more than a place to buy tomatoes the size of softballs; it’s the social and cultural heart of the city. On a single Saturday in peak season, the market may get 25,000 to 35,000 visitors. New programs and an $8.2 million renovation project will guarantee that the Public Market stays vital for years to come, says market manager James Farr. The main purpose of the renovation project is to replace the winter shed — which houses the indoor vendors — and the restaurant kiosks adjacent to it. The shed desperately needs updating, Farr says. “It was never outfitted with drains and water and proper electric. It was all cobbled together,” he says. “And it was built in kind of a 70’s heavy-concrete style that was kind of foreboding; it didn’t invite people in there. The new building is going to be a 20-foothigh glass front with a Public Market sign, and you’ll be able to see in and see activity.” The old shed had 56 vendor slots, while the new shed will have 64. But half of the new slots will be twice as large, so it adds up to about 40 percent more rentable space, Farr says. 6 CITY
DECEMBER 14-20, 2016
“We already have enough interest so that we’re already having to be selective about who the new vendors are,” he says. The first priority is to make sure that the current vendors get space, Farr says. The larger spaces could be used for food preparation, a nutrition education center, and cooking classes, or as a kitchen for cooking demonstrations. And many of the winter-shed vendors are talking about adding products and being open more days as a result of the project, Farr says. “So that’s part of our hope, that there’s going to be more to complement the shops and other things that have developed around the market,” he says. The area around the Public Market has gotten a lot of attention in recent years. The neighborhood, Marketview Heights, was singled out by the City of Rochester as a Focused Investment area, for example. And the Rochester-Monroe County Anti-
Poverty Initiative selected Marketview and two additional neighborhoods as pilots for its initial programs. “There’s a bunch of things going on, and I think that this neighborhood, like many, is just on that tipping point of becoming a really vital neighborhood again,” Farr says. “And it is a vital neighborhood – but really fulfilling its full potential.” More than $15 million has been invested on Railroad Street leading up to the Public Market in the last several years, he says, citing the Station 55 lofts, Black Button Distilling, and Rohrbach beer hall, as examples. Winter-shed vendors will be able to sell their goods outside in fair weather once the renovation is completed, because parking will be prohibited in front of the building. That will also make the area more pedestrian-friendly, Farr says. The renovation project started in April, and the winter-shed vendors moved to a temporarily enclosed new shed at the market about a month ago. The new shelter will remain after the new winter shed opens, but it won’t be enclosed. The 46 slots that will be in the new outdoor shelter will allow the market to
add vendors, bring some of the vendors in nontraditional spaces into a shelter, and create more parking. “We’re always fighting between maximizing vending spots and trying to maximize parking, but it’s still a challenge,” Farr says. About 1,000 parking spots have been added over the last decade, he says. The food-stand vendors that flanked the indoor shed are operating out of repurposed shipping containers in a temporary location on the west end of the market near the Union Street entrance. They will stay in the containers permanently, which will eventually be relocated to the vendors’ original spots. The renovation is ahead of schedule and should be completed by late spring or early summer 2017, Farr says. The project is funded by a combination of state and city money and bonds. But the Public Market is about more than vendors. It’s also a prime site for
socializing, agitating, and politicking — Hillary Clinton, former New York governor Nelson Rockefeller, and Bobby Kennedy all pressed the flesh there. The market keeps expanding its roster of programs and services to keep the public engaged. It held a Halloween event for the first time this year, recently started a bike-reward program to encourage more people to cycle to the site, and ran a summer shuttle service to and from the East End parking garage. (The shuttle didn’t get a lot of use, though: it averaged about 25 to 30 people a week. The market thought that people who come to the Public Market for the social element and not for heavyduty shopping might use the shuttle, but it’s difficult to convince people to give up their cars, Farr says. The market will re-evaluate the shuttle service in the spring, he says.) “We have to make sure we keep reinventing ourselves and differentiating ourselves, because if you just want to go get corn and tomatoes, you can go anywhere,” Farr says. Eventually, Farr says he’d like to see another storefront in the market. The original plan was to do that right after the current project, but customers, vendors, and market workers need a break from construction, he says. “We get a lot of requests for 500- to 1,000-square-foot buildings,” Farr says. “We’d like to look at that possibility in the front parking lot,” but that’s a little ways off.

f President-elect Donald Trump actually believes his own warnings about the threats of immigration, he should talk about ways to slow global warming, as well. Rising sea level, caused by the melting of the Antarctic and Greenland ice caps, will probably displace tens of millions of people in the decades ahead, and many may come to North America as refugees. Climate change will cause a suite of problems for future generations, and it’s arguably the most pressing issue of our time. A year ago, world leaders gathered in Paris to discuss strategies to curb greenhouse gas emissions, and scientists at every corner of the globe confirm that humans are facing a crisis. However, climate change is nearly ignored by American politicians and lawmakers. It was not discussed in depth during this past election
cycle’s televised presidential debates. And, when climate change does break the surface of public discussion, it polarizes Americans like almost no other political issue. Some conservatives, including Trump, still deny there’s even a problem. “We are in this bizarre political state in which most of the Republican Party still thinks it has to pretend that climate change is not real,” says Jonathan F.P. Rose, a New York City developer and author of The Well-Tempered City, which explores in part how low-cost green development can mitigate the impacts of rising global temperatures and changing weather patterns. Rose says that progress cannot be made in drafting effective climate strategies until national leaders agree there’s an issue. “We have such strong scientific evidence,” he says. “We can disagree on how we’re going to
discouraging setback in the campaign to slow emissions and global warming. “There’s no doubt that the steep hill we’ve been climbing just became a sheer cliff,” he says. “But cliffs are scalable.” The American public must demand that Congress implement carbon pricing,” Valk says. He says the government is not likely to face and attack climate change unless voters force them to. “The solution is going to have to come from the people,” he said. “Our politicians have shown that they’re just not ready to implement a solution on their own.” There is no question that the Earth is

solve the problems, but I would hope we could move toward an agreement on the basic facts.” That such a serious planetwide crisis has become a divide across the American political battlefield is a tragedy to Peter Kalmus, an earth scientist with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at Caltech in Pasadena, who agreed to be interviewed for this story on his own behalf, (not on behalf of NASA, JPL, or Caltech). Kalmus says that climate change is happening whether politicians want to talk about it or not. “CO2 molecules and infrared photons don’t give a crap about politics, whether you’re liberal or conservative, Republican or Democrat, or anything else,” he says.
Our politicians have shown that they’re just not ready to implement a solution on their own.”
STEVE VALK, CI TI ZENS’ CLI M AT E L O B B Y
Slowing climate change is essential, since adapting to all of its impacts may be impossible. Governments must strive for greater resource efficiency, shift to renewable energy, and transition from conventional to more sustainable agricultural practices.
America’s leaders must also implement a carbon pricing system that places a financial burden on fossil fuel producers and reduces greenhouse gas emissions, climate activists say. But there may be little to zero hope that such a system will be installed at the federal level as Trump prepares to move into the White House. Trump has threatened to reverse any commitments the United States agreed to in Paris. He even selected a well-known skeptic of climate change, Myron Ebell, to head his US Environmental Protection Agency transition team, and chose a leading critic of the EPA, Scott Pruitt, to be the agency’s permanent head. Steve Valk, communications director for the Citizens’ Climate Lobby, says the results of the presidential election are a
warming rapidly, and that this trend is having an impact. It is disrupting agriculture. Glacial water sources are vanishing. Storms and droughts are becoming more severe. Altered winds and ocean currents are impacting marine ecosystems. So is ocean acidification, another outcome of carbon dioxide emissions. The sea is rising and will eventually swamp large coastal regions and islands. As many as 200 million people could be displaced by 2050. For several years in a row now, each year has been warmer than any year prior in recorded temperature records, and by 2100, it may be too hot for people to permanently live in the Persian Gulf. World leaders and climate activists made groundbreaking progress toward slowing these effects at the 2015 Paris climate conference. Leaders from 195 countries drafted a plan of action to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions and steer the planet off its predicted course of warming. The pact, which addresses energy, transportation, industries and agriculture — and asks leaders to regularly upgrade their climate policies — is intended to keep the planet from warming by 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit between pre-industrial years and the end of this century. Scientists forecast that an average global increase of 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit will have devastating consequences for humanity. The United States pledged to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 26 percent from 2005 levels within a decade. China, Japan, and nations of the European Union made similar promises. More recently, almost 200 nations agreed to phase out hydrofluorocarbons, which are extremely potent but shortlived greenhouse gases emitted by refrigerators and air conditioners, and to reduce the emissions from the shipping and aviation industries. continued on page 10 rochestercitynewspaper.com

Climate change continues from page 9
But in the wake of such promising international progress, and as 2016 draws to a close as the third record warm year in a row, many climate activists are disconcerted both by United States leaders’ recent silence on the issue and by the outcome of the presidential election. Mark Sabbatini, editor of the newspaper Icepeople in Svalbard, Norway, says that shortsighted political scheming has pushed climate change action to the back burner. He wants politicians to start listening to scientists. “But industry folks donate money and scientists get shoved aside in the interest of profits and re-election,” says Sabbatini, who recently had to evacuate his apartment as unprecedented temperatures thawed out the entire region’s permafrost, threatening to collapse buildings. Short-term goals and immediate financial concerns distract leaders from making meaningful policy advances on climate. “In Congress, they look two years ahead,” Sabbatini says. “In the Senate, they look six years ahead. In the White House, they look four years ahead.” The 300 nationwide chapters of the Citizens’ Climate Lobby are calling on local governments and chambers of commerce across America to voice support for a revenue- Mothers Out Front organized an oil train protest in front of the Federal Building on State Street in August. neutral carbon fee.

million of carbon dioxide. Now, we are at more than 400 and counting. Climate experts generally agree that the atmospheric carbon level must be reduced to 350 or less if we are to keep at bay the most disastrous possible impacts of warming. This is why farmers and the soil they work are so important in mitigating climate change. By employing certain practices and abandoning others, farmers and ranchers can turn acreage into valuable carbon sinks — a general agricultural approach often referred to as “carbon farming.” Conventional agriculture practices tend to emit carbon dioxide. Regular tilling of the soil, for example, causes soil carbon to bond with oxygen and float away as carbon dioxide. Tilling also causes erosion, as do deforestation and overgrazing. With erosion, soil carbon enters waterways, creating carbonic acid — the direct culprit of ocean acidification. Researchers estimate that unsustainable farming practices have caused as much as 80 percent of the world’s soil carbon to turn into carbon dioxide. By carbon farming, those who produce the world’s food can simultaneously turn their land into precious carbon sinks. The basic tenets of carbon farming include growing trees as windbreaks and focusing on perennial crops, like fruit trees and certain specialty grain varieties, which demand less tilling and disturbance of the soil. Eric Toensmeier, a senior fellow with the climate advocacy group Project Drawdown and the author of The Carbon Farming Solution, says that many other countries are far ahead of the United States in both recognizing the importance of soil as a place to store carbon, and funding programs that help conventional farmers shift toward carbon farming practices. France, for instance, initiated a sophisticated program in 2011 that calls for increasing soil carbon worldwide by 0.4 percent every year. Healthy soil can contain 10 percent carbon or more, and France’s program has the potential over time to decelerate the increase in atmospheric carbon levels. Toensmeier is optimistic about the progress being made in the United States, too. The US Department of Agriculture funds programs that support environmentally friendly farming practices that protect watersheds or enhance wildlife habitat, largely through planting perennial grasses and trees. “And it turns out a lot of the practices they’re paying farmers to do to protect water quality or slow erosion also happen to sequester carbon,” Toensmeier says. He says it appears obvious that the federal government is establishing a system by which it will eventually pay farmers directly to sequester carbon. Such a direct faceoff with climate change, however, may be a few years away still. Climate activists may even need to wait

until 2021. “First we need a president who acknowledges that climate change exists,” Toensmeier said. Climate reform advocates still talk about
Bernie Sanders’ fiery attack on fracking as a source of global warming in the May primary debate with Hillary Clinton. “If we don’t get our act together, this planet could be 5 to 10 degrees warmer by the end of this century,” Sanders said then. “Cataclysmic problems for this planet. This is a national crisis.” Sanders was not exaggerating. The Earth has already warmed by 1.7 degrees Fahrenheit since 1880, and it’s getting hotter. Even with the advances made in Paris, the world remains on track to be 6.1 degrees Fahrenheit warmer by 2100 than it was in pre-industrial times, according to a United Nations emissions report released in early November. The authors of another paper published in January in the journal Nature predict that temperatures will rise as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit. In light of the scientific consensus, conservatives’ denial of climate change looks childish at best and dangerous at worst. In low-lying Florida, so vulnerable to the rising sea, an unofficial policy from the state’s Republican leadership has effectively muzzled state employees from even mentioning “climate change” and “global warming” in official reports and communications. Republican Senator Ted Cruz from Texas suggested that NASA focus its research less on climate change and more on space exploration, according to The Christian Science Monitor. Most frightening of all, maybe, is the incoming American president’s stance on the matter: Trump said in a 2012 tweet that global warming is a hoax by China. In
January 2014, during a brief spell of cold weather, he asked via Twitter, “Is our country still spending money on the GLOBAL WARMING HOAX?” While most of the rest of the world remains poised to advance emissions reductions goals, Trump is aiming in a different direction. The Trump-Pence website vows to “unleash America’s $50 trillion in untapped shale, oil, and natural gas reserves, plus hundreds of years in clean coal reserves.” His webpage concerning energy goals only mentions reducing emissions once, and it makes no mention of climate change or renewable energy. While meaningful action at the federal level is probably years away, at the local level, progress is coming — even in communities led by Republicans, according to developerwriter Rose. That’s because local politicians face a level of accountability from which national leaders are often shielded, he says. “At the city level, mayors have to deliver real results,” Rose says. “They have to protect their residents and make wise investments on behalf of their residents. The residents see what they’re doing and hold them accountable.” Restructuring and modifying our cities,
which are responsible for about half of America’s carbon footprint, “will be critical toward dealing with climate change,” he says. “On the coast we’ll have sea level rise,” he says. “Inland, we’ll have flooding and heat waves. Heat waves cause more deaths than hurricanes.” Simply integrating nature into city infrastructure is a very low-cost but effective means to counter the changes that are coming, Rose says. Many cities are planting thousands of street trees, for example. Trees draw in atmospheric carbon as they grow and, through shade and evaporative cooling effects, can significantly reduce surface temperatures by as much as 6 degrees Fahrenheit in some circumstances, he says. Laws and policies that take aim at reduced emissions targets can be efficient tools for generating change across entire communities. However, Kalmus, the earth scientist, says it’s important that individuals, too, reduce their own emissions through voluntary behavior changes, rather than simply waiting for change to come from leaders and lawmakers. “If you care about climate change, it will make you happier,” he says. “It makes you feel like you’re pioneering a new way to live. For others, you’re the person who is showing the
path and making them realize it’s not as crazy as it seems.” Kalmus, who lives in Altadena, California, with his wife and two sons, has radically overhauled his lifestyle to reduce his carbon footprint. Since 2010, he has cut his own emissions by a factor of 10 — from 20 tons per year to just 2, by his own estimates. This personal transformation is the subject of his forthcoming book, Being the Change: Live Well and Spark a Climate Revolution, due out in 2017. Kalmus rides a bike most places, eats mostly locally grown food, raises some of it in his own yard, has stopped eating meat and — one of the most important changes—has all but quit flying places. He says he hopes to serve as a model and help spark a transition to an economy that does not depend on constant growth, as ours currently does. One day it will be socially unacceptable to burn fossil fuel, he says, just as it’s become shunned to waste water in drought-dried California; the oil industry will eventually become obsolete. “We need to transition to an economy that doesn’t depend on unending growth,” Kalmus says. Unless we slow our carbon emissions and our population growth now, depletion of resources will catch up with us, he says. “We need to shift to a steady-state economy and a steady-state population,” he says. “Fossil-fueled civilization cannot continue forever.” Though Americans will soon have as president a man who is essentially advocating for climate change, Valk, at the Citizens’ Climate Lobby, expects time — and warming — to shift voter perspectives. “As more and more people are personally affected by climate change, like those recently flooded out in Louisiana and North Carolina, people of all political persuasions will see that acting on climate change is not a matter of partisan preferences, but a matter of survival,” he says.

Naz students raise flags A meeting is planned between members of the Browncroft Community Church in Penfield and Nazareth College faculty over an incident involving two Muslim students earlier this month. Members of the church security team and church leadership made the decision to contact the state police after two male Nazareth students, both Muslim, attended a service and coffee hour at the church on December 4. A state police officer subsequently contacted the college to confirm that the students are enrolled. The incident provoked a written response to the college community from a clearly irritated Daan Braveman, Nazareth’s president, as well as a protest at the church last weekend. Braveman said that he’s deeply concerned because the students were singled out due to their religious beliefs. A date and time for the meeting to further discuss the incident haven’t been determined. But Braveman and the church’s leadership both said that they are committed to interfaith dialogue. “President Braveman and I had a very good conversation about the recent visit of Nazareth students to our church,” Senior Pastor Rob Cattalani said in a written statement. “He stated he did not believe that the church itself was responsible for any perceived mistreatment to these students.” In a separate statement, church leaders said that they regret any misunderstanding and that the students are welcome to return. The students, one African American and the other of Middle Eastern descent, visited the church as part of a sociology and religion course. One of the students is 43, and the other is 27, though it’s not clear which is which. They were shocked by the incident, said Julie Long, a spokesperson for the college. It was the second time that the students visited the church and they said that they were treated well both times. A third, non-Muslim student also visited the church on December 4, but was not subjected to the same scrutiny. The college’s interfaith course requires students to explore different religions. Trooper Mark O’Donnell, information officer for the New York State Police, said that the church incident is similar to cases that law enforcement handles every day. But for some reason, this case “grew arms and legs,” he said. “I can’t tell you why they felt uneasy,” he said. “People contact us and say they see a car that doesn’t look familiar or it’s just as if a suspicious backpack was left at a bus stop. We check it out and bring it back to Johnny who left it there.”

Obsessed with barbecue [ CHOW HOUND ] BY KATIE LIBBY
It’s simple: Bill Schnupp is cooking the food he likes to eat. Schnupp, along with partner Justin Washington, opened JB’s Smokehouse (211 Main Street, East Rochester) in June, with a menu that has all of the meats you’d expect from a quality barbecue joint — cooked in a style that isn’t quite Texas BBQ nor Midwestern, but influenced by both. “I created all the recipes and rubs; I based it on what I like,” Schnupp says. Schnupp worked at Flaherty’s in Macedon for 18 years, developing a love for barbecue, before opening his own place. He’s now making his own barbecue sauces, six different varieties in fact, including a traditionalstyle house barbecue sauce, jalapeño Jack Daniels blend, Caribbean barbecue, “Orange Soda Pop” (made with orange soda), and a Guinness-based sauce. Those sauces can be slathered over several dishes, like the St. Louis pork ribs (full rack with two sides for $23.99, or half rack with one side for $16.99) or the split half chicken that has been dry rubbed and char broiled
($12.99 with two sides). The smoked stacked platter comes with three hand-carved meats (diner picked from smoked brisket, smoked pastrami, smoked glazed pit ham, or smoked turkey) and with two sides for $14.99. Vegetarians won’t have a ton of options to choose from — this is a barbecue joint after all — but JB’s Smokehouse does have a few salads on the menu as well as French Onion Soup ($5.25) and loaded potato coins ($8.99) topped with Cajun ranch dressing, cheddar cheese, and green onions, just hold the bacon. Bring a breath mint and order the garlic fries ($6.99) — potato wedges deep-fried and tossed in Garlic Parmesan sauce. Most of the sides are vegetarian as well. Schnupp has a full catering menu and is even willing to go off script if there is something you want that isn’t on the menu. JB’s has a full bar with craft beers, including local brews, and wine selections. There’s live entertainment on the weekends and a comedy night every other month. “A lot of Southern transplants have come here and told me it’s the closest they can get
to Southern barbecue; I’m just happy they are enjoying what they’re eating,” Schnupp says. JB’s Smokehouse is located at 211 Main Street in East Rochester, and is open Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.; and Sunday, 12 p.m. to 9 p.m. 485-0983; jbsmokehouse.com.

Young Thug SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17 MAIN STREET ARMORY, 900 EAST MAIN STREET 8 P.M. | $45-$75 | MAINSTREETARMORY.COM; YSLTHUG.COM [ HIP-HOP ] Atlanta-based rapper Jeffery Williams, better known
as Young Thug, has become the rock star of the swag-rap, pop-trap game since 2010, breaking away from a traditional rapping style and lyricism. By contorting wide-ranging tones into abstract rhythmic slurs and often indecipherable mumbles, the rapper creates catchy hooks that don’t really need words. Young Thug released three commercial mixtapes along with a studio album this year — “I’m Up,” “Slime Season 3,” “Jeffery,” and “Bankroll Mafia.” Beyond the stage and studio, Young Thug has become a fashion icon, defying limitations in a mainly masculine hip-hop culture. Identifying as gender-neutral with an androgynous eccentric style, Williams has stirred up controversy with an ambiguous cult following. — BY AMANDA FINTAK

It’s not a sound you would expect to hear on a jazz album: the glistening notes of a harp. But Carol Robbins is not your typical jazz musician. Growing up in Los Angeles, she had a rare opportunity to study with pioneering jazz harpist Dorothy Ashby. Now at the top of her field, Robbins’s playing is respected across many genres. In the jazz world, she’s played with stars like Dianne Reeves, Ella Fitzgerald, and Nina Simone, and in the pop world with Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, and Bjork. Although her harp certainly stands out, “Taylor Street” is really a showcase for Robbins’s compositional prowess. She wrote all nine of the album’s strong tracks, including the title tune, which refers to her family roots on a street in Chicago’s Little Italy. Robbins takes some excellent solos but leaves plenty of room for outstanding work by her superb supporting crew: Billy Childs on piano and Fender Rhodes; Bob Sheppard, saxophone and clarinet; Larry Koonse, guitar; Curtis Taylor, trumpet; Darek Oles, bass; Gary Novak, drums; and Ben Shephard, electric bass. — BY RON NETSKY

[ BLUES ]
The Occasional Saints. Little
With all the frenzied activity of this time of year, not to mention turbulent national events, you might find yourself in need of some meditative musical moments. Frank Kimbrough’s “Solstice” delivers an exquisite selection of well-chosen compositions that couldn’t come at a better time. Over the past three-and-a-half decades, Kimbrough has established himself as one of the leading pianists on the New York scene. He’s been a major force in the multiple-Grammy-winning Maria Schneider Orchestra for more than 20 years and has led numerous projects of his own. On “Solstice,” Kimbrough is joined by two long-time collaborators, bassist Jay Anderson and drummer Jeff Hirshfield. Both contribute solid backing and fine solo work. The simpatico between the three is so strong that most of the tracks are first takes of tunes introduced the day of the session. In addition to Kimbrough’s imaginative original, “Question’s the Answer,” the disc features evocative works by some of the genre’s best composers, including Schneider, Andrew Hill, Carla Bley, Paul Motian, Annette Peacock and George Gershwin. — BY RON NETSKY

Goosing its alt-country ruminations with a wide spectrum, from bluegrass to soul and rock ‘n’ roll, this band serves to soothe the same savage it fuels in its audiences nationwide. The band’s latest, “Hard to Please,” couples the lyrical introspection familiar on the band’s previous three records with a gorgeous non-country aesthetic that ultimately makes the band all the more honest. The Black Lillies is out on the road, agitating the asphalt, and flaunting “Hard To Please” — which by the way, the band banged out in a mere two weeks. The Black Lillies’s Cruz Contreras took
time to answer a few questions during some down time on that endless black ribbon. An edited transcript of that conversation follows. CITY: You wrote “Hard to Please” in two weeks. How is that possible? Cruz Contreras: The key to writing a record
in two weeks is locking the door. Telling your peeps you’re going into seclusion, and letting Mother Nature take over in the form of a snowstorm that shuts down all your daily distractions. Also keep your ridiculous ideas on a piece of scratch paper. What was the hardest thing in recording in such a tight timeframe?
Necessity is the best motivator. We recorded the live tracks with the band in four days, but took our time with overdubs and mixing. It was really the first time we had adequate time to record and give each song its full-deserved attention. What was the easiest?
The best part of recording is working with a team that is totally focused, committed, and determined to create the best possible music
Right now, I’m revisiting old material that never fully came to life or was neglected, and learning new (to me) cover songs. But what my mind and eye are looking for is what is next. It’s like looking at the horizon as you approach something — it comes into view the closer you get.
In what kind of venue do The Black Lillies sound best?
We play all kinds of venues: clubs, bars, theaters, dance halls, festivals, you name it. We play to the room, the space. It’s one thing I pride our band on, that flexibility. I love to play acoustic bluegrass style as well as big stage rock ‘n’ roll. What’s it like playing the Grand Ole Opry?
Playing the Opry is the ultimate honor for a country musician. It’s a very discerning audience. In our case they often look at us like, “Hmm, who is this? What is this?” They give us a chance, ponder, and then smile. We’ve made new fans. How does it compare to playing Abilene in Rochester?
Ha! I love Abilene. It’s always a packed room with high energy. Raw and real. Abilene is kinda like the Grand Ole Opry of Rochester.

POST-ROCK | PRAY FOR SOUND
Post-rock, with all its grandiose trappings and sonic maximalism, can actually be a remarkably succinct listening experience. By focusing solely on instrumentation and atmosphere, free from the burden of traditional vocals and lyricism, the best post-rock bands can, in a single song, cut right to the emotional core of any given topic. Boston’s Pray for Sound has been a living testament to this idea since 2014, and its latest record, this year’s “Everything is Beautiful,” is its most diverse and enthralling. On songs like “Once One Begins, There Are Only Endings” and “I Have Seen Hell and It’s White,” the band’s guitars ebb and flow in spectacular mid-paced intensity, calling to mind early This Will Destroy You and Do Make Say Think, while “They Gave Up Looking” is probably the closest a post-rock song can come to earning the title “barn burner.” Don’t just say it — show it. Or, in this case, play it. Pray for Sound will play with There I Say Is Lighting and Memphis Green on Sunday, December 18, at the Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Avenue. 8 p.m. $7-$9. bugjar.com; prayforsound.com. — BY ALEXANDER JONES Acoustic Brew.

THROUGH JANUARY 6 BEVIER AND UNIVERSITY GALLERIES, JAMES E. BOOTH HALL 7A, 73 LOMB MEMORIAL DRIVE MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, 9 A.M. TO 5 P.M., SATURDAY, NOON TO 4 P.M. FREE | 475-2866; RIT.EDU/FA/GALLERY [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

At a glance, Norman Ives’s artwork is both straightforward and enigmatic. That balance is key to good design — it should command your attention without making you hate its effort. It should tug seductively at your focus more than hit you over the head. A new retrospective of Ives’s oeuvre, concurrently hosted in the Bevier and University Galleries at RIT, delves into his lifelong love of and experimentation with letterforms, amounting to nothing less than form porn for painters, printmakers, and sculptors. Ives graduated in 1952 from Yale’s first graduate graphic design program, having studied with Josef Albers, Alvin Lustig,
Alexey Brodovitch, and Herbert Matter. Through the 50’s, he taught graphic design at Yale and Rhode Island School of Design, before opening his own studio in New Haven and entering into a successful partnership with Sewell Sillman. Aside from blending design and fine art into their own work, Ives and Sillman together published silkscreen portfolios for several greats, including Romare Bearden, Willem de Kooning, and Walker Evans. At Yale, Ives benefitted from the mentorship of Albers, who had, from his time teaching at the Bauhaus, brought “exercises which examined letters as formal elements devoid of their literal function,” says John T. Hill, the exhibition’s curator, in a provided statement. Ives also liberated the alphabet from its context of ideas, proclamations, and decrees. His collages, posters, silkscreens, paintings, murals, and bas-reliefs present fields of disrupted letters, truncated or inverted, hiding familiar forms within new hybrid shapes. Because our brains pursue order and sense, and latch onto insinuations of the familiar, viewers may feel engaged in a fruitless game of deciphering some alchemic meaning — there’s no hidden message, but Ives was aware that you’ve been set up to search for one.
Where he uses color, his palette is rife with saturated brights and muddy tertiaries, communicating nuances of mood. The work is trippy — more overtly so in pieces such as an untitled mural study in which the sharply defined nexus between the sliced-and-diced, black-on-white text creates a buzzy optical illusion. Ives also toyed with lower contrast, fuzzier versions of this energy. The muddied grays and yellows of an untitled work are similar in tone and slightly blended where the characters meet, forming an impressionistic version of his other, more graphic work. The Bevier Gallery, an open off-shoot of the entry corridor of Booth hall, is a stumble-upon, wander-in-on-the-wayto-elsewhere kind of space. And the show is so nonchalantly well-hung in that it’s certain to cause some rubbernecking among art student traffic. The solar tangerine and contusion blue hues of the massive 1971 “Mural for Orange Cinema Complex” snag your periphery along the busy route to the building’s hive of studios. Off to the side and in front of that electric piece is a blocky, untitled letter fragment sculpture. Resting on a low pedestal, the sizable cube sculpture’s perfect geometry is interrupted by the clusters of truncated letters that make up its surfaces. The curving hollow of an S might bisect the diagonal of a V — or N or M or Z. Further into the space, Ives’s collages from the late-1950’s are displayed. He initially made these works from triangles, “meticulously cut from the letters and words of posters and broadsides,” provided information states. The geometric patterns abstract the semi-legible words. Ives’s work underwent an evolution into paintings and prints of abstracted shapes reminiscent of letterforms. He manipulated the medium of murals to serve as both a background and a foreground, giving the vicinity of the restaurants or theaters a personality and reinforcing the spaces as inviting destination-environments. The University Gallery spotlights Ives’s late-career, clean screen prints and a variety of posters he designed for exhibitions, political races, and the work of other artists. Presented in display cases are examples from books designed by Ives, including two major publications by Albers: the 1963 classic, “Interaction of Color,” and the 1972 “Formulation: Articulation.” And in the hallway between the exhibition spaces are cases which present Ives’ limited edition book, “Eight Symbols,” as well as pages of his analysis of figure-ground relationship and the symbols invented to be corporate logos.

“The Flight Before Christmas” at BLACKFRIARs THEATRE: Anne Schepp Desiree Hobson David Phillippone ART | “AMERICAN VOICES” In times of disaster and strife, it’s wise to remember the words of Fred Rogers: “Look for the helpers.” And that’s exactly what artist and art teacher Todd Stahl is doing as we march forward to meet the new presidency with trepidation. On December 16, Stahl’s show “American Voices” will open at Makers Gallery and Studio (34 Elton Street). The exhibit will feature more than a dozen mixed media portraits of heroic and talented Americans who have shaped our national identity, including Muhammad Ali, Susan B. Anthony, and Frederick Douglass.

“For the most part, they are people who are ‘famous’ or at least historically significant, but most of them came from humble beginnings,” Stahl says of his subjects. “But they were able to help steer our country forward. I have been planning the show for over a year, but with the outcome of the election, this narrative seems to be much more important. And as an art teacher, its one that I talk about often, so it’s an interesting intersection of those worlds, and a great way to show everyone just how important our single voice can be.”

Beautiful nothing “Collateral Beauty” (PG-13), DIRECTED BY DAVID FRANKEL OPENS FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16 [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
People tend to get sentimental around the holidays, and for good reason: another year is winding down, everyone’s spending time with friends and family, and we’re feeling nostalgic. A little sentimentality on those dark, cold winter nights can feel as comforting as a cozy fleece blanket. But bury yourself too much and you might suffocate on all that good cheer. “Collateral Beauty” should come with a warning label. It’s trite melodrama sprinkled with holiday magic, and then drained of character, nuance, and any shred of reality.
Pandering and manipulative, the film is determined to get tears from audiences if it has to squeeze them out of you by force. Will Smith stars as Howard, a once successful New York City advertising executive who never recovered from the death of his 6-year-old daughter two years before. He’s withdrawn from his life, his friends, and his career. He spends his days constructing elaborate domino setups in his office, and then knocking them down (why he bothers to go into work to do this is beyond me). His friends and professional partners, Whit (Edward Norton), Claire (Kate Winslet), and Simon (Michael Peña), are growing desperate; his refusal to re-engage and get back to work is jeopardizing the agency they all own together. And so his friends hire a private investigator (the wonderful Ann Dowd, in a nothing role) to follow Howard and get a better read on his state of mind. While tailing him, she discovers that he’s been writing letters to Love, Death, and Time — concepts that Howard believes are the three constants in life — and he’s got a bone to pick with them all.

Simon see an opportunity, and an odd plan is hatched: they’ll hire three local actors to portray Death (Helen Mirren), Love (Keira Knightley), and Time (Jacob Latimore). They ask each one to talk with Howard and get him to air his grievances out loud, while their investigator secretly films the exchanges. They believe this might offer Howard some sort of catharsis. But barring that, it might provide them with enough evidence of his instability that they can wrest control of the agency and salvage what they can of a rapidly sinking ship. At first, it seems as though the deception on the part of Howard’s friends might add an interesting wrinkle to the story, but Allan Loeb’s script never really bothers to explore that idea. Meanwhile Howard is making tentative steps on his own, constantly milling about outside a support group for grieving parents, led by Madeleine (Naomie Harris, right off her terrific performance in “Moonlight”). She implores him to appreciate the “collateral beauty,” a nonsense phrase that’s her way of saying that beautiful, positive moments can be found in even the most dire of circumstances. It’s a lovely message, but there has to be a better way to convey it than having characters stand around explaining it to us. In essence, the story is a twist on “A Christmas Carol,” with Howard being visited by (what he believes to be) three spirits, but other than that director David Frankel doesn’t bother much with the holiday milieu. The story appears to be set during the Christmas season mostly so the filmmaker can fill his movie with

bokeh light effects and arrange his cast in front of pretty, twinkling lights while they endlessly explain their feelings. “Collateral Beauty” boasts the type of cast that makes you wonder what on Earth attracted them to such an ill-conceived script (besides a new vacation home or the draw of working with one another). The actors do a fine enough job, but none are given much to work with. Loeb’s script treats human experience like a puzzle in which the pieces must all neatly fit into place. He bends over backward trying to tie everything together in a neat package wrapped up with a bow and presented with some “Ta dah!” hand flourishes. Its carefully constructed rendering of humanity feels alien and unnatural, like it was written by someone who read a detailed description of emotion in a book once. The story crams in as much trauma as possible; in addition to dead children, there’s also terminal illness, a parent facing dementia, and a ticking biological clock. There are affecting moments, but any real emotion gets smothered under the strained plot machinations. It doesn’t help that “Manchester by the Sea,” a much more honest portrayal of grief, opened in Rochester theaters just last week. If you’re in the mood for something sappy, schmaltzy, and more than a little silly, “Collateral Beauty” will probably scratch that itch. But its smothering benevolence just might be hazardous to your health.

Downstairs, a wall separating the dining room and kitchen came down, combining the dining and cooking spaces into one open space. The updated kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, white cabinets, a white tile backsplash, and granite countertops.
In revamping the home, the owners were careful to keep intact the original trim and the hardwood floors, which cover most of the first and second floors, the exceptions being the full bath on the second floor, which includes a clawfoot tub, and the half bath on the first floor. A small office on the second floor has been converted into a spacious walk-in closet for the front bedroom. Two other spacious bedrooms on the second floor have smaller, built-in closets. A fully-finished attic is ideal for a master suite, or perhaps as a home office.
A large picture window at the rear of the kitchen, ideal for a breakfast table, looks out on a deep backyard, meticulously maintained with a variety of plantings. There are several raised beds, for your flowers or maybe a small vegetable garden, a garden shed and a small patio; plenty of ways to enjoy the spacious backyard. It’s clear that this outdoor space was well-loved by the previous owners; a large second story balcony provides another way to savor the view.
Built in 1913, the 2,229 square foot home is right around the corner from Highland Park and Mount Hope Cemetery. Enjoy the benefits of being in the Highland Park Neighborhood with an eclectic variety of restaurants a few minutes away in College Town or on South Ave. in the South Wedge.
There’s also a spacious 27-foot deep garage, with enough room for three cars. And, there’s a sky-lighted workshop along the side.
