Alec Wilder deserves RMHF recognition

The Rochester Music Hall of Fame recently announced the names of this year’s inductees (“Rochester Music Hall of Fame announces 2019 inductees,” February 26). While I applaud their choices, it seems to me there is one name lacking who should have been admitted years ago.

Alec Wilder was a prolific composer and native of Rochester; in fact, his grandfather built one of the buildings at the Four Corners that bears the family name.

Although he moved to New York City with his mother as a boy after the death of his father, he returned as a young adult and studied at the Eastman School of Music.

In his later years, he was a frequent visitor to the area.

Today, he is buried in Avon, Livingston County.

Wilder was probably best known for his popular and jazz compositions, among them “I’ll Be Around,” “It’s So Peaceful in the Country,” and “While We’re Young.”

Some well-known musicians and singers have recorded albums devoted to his compositions, including Marlene VerPlanck, Roland Hanna, Jackie Cain and Roy Kral, Vic Juris (for which Bill Dobbins wrote 2 CITY

the liner notes), and Marian McPartland, whom he met during one of his frequent stays in Rochester when she was playing at the Monticello Room on Jefferson Road.

Although his jazz and popular music compositions numbered in the many hundreds, he was versatile.

He wrote classical music compositions, including operas, film scores, ballets and chamber music.

Beyond that, he composed orchestral pieces and music for solo instruments. In fact, Frank Sinatra made an album of his classical music and conducted it himself — the only time Sinatra ever conducted an orchestra. He wrote a book of lullabies, illustrated by Maurice Sendak, and our own Jan deGaetani recorded an album of those lullabies.

Using comments written by children at a local school, he composed “A Children’s Plea for Peace,” which was performed at the Eastman Theatre.

On a more literary level, this man wrote a book entitled “American Popular Song: The Great Innovators 1900-1950” which was a finalist in 1973 for a National Book Award.

This summary is only a sketch of what Wilder accomplished in the field of music. With that, I ask the Rochester Music Hall of Fame: How could you have ignored this giant talent for so many years?

Grow up, Congress

Houses of worship are built for a specific purpose, and much time is spent designing them to reflect the highest values of love, peace, and sacredness they are intended to convey. Nevertheless, it is up to those employed within

that structure to give life to those values.

The Capitol Building in Washington is also such a building. But lately, it’s been difficult to feel that.

People in Congress whom I had held in high regard I don’t even recognize anymore. While we have had conflict in Congress for years, the immaturity in our government at the present is disheartening. It is as if almost everyone has forgotten they are adults.

Lying, intimidation, and conspiracy theories abound. Instead of rationally addressing this behavior and entrusting our nation’s law enforcement agencies to investigate and put them to rest, people within the hallowed halls of Congress are encouraging all of them. I am outraged by this behavior because it is definitely not what I am looking for from people who work in a building designed for such a high purpose. The thought, effort and cost to build our democracy has been too high to not point out such unwelcome behavior in our country’s leaders.

I am really getting tired of political commentators of both factions questioning the loyalty, ethics and motives of one another.

There are commentators out there who are trying to get us to believe the very worst about each other, to get us to hate each other.

I don’t want to hate my fellow Americans. It’s a democracy, there are going to be differences. We should work out those differences like the adults we are. Party politics are ruining the unity of our country. Get back to acting like mature, respectful leaders of Congress who protect the spirit, as well as the laws, of our Constitution!

Judge Telesca was a noble man

So many people have a story about federal Judge Michael A. Telesca, who died recently at the age of 90 and for whom the downtown local legal services building is named.

He loved his wife, Ethel; his children, Michelle and Steve; his grandchildren; his country; the spirit of the law; his fellow men and women, and the underserved.

His many gifts included nurturing friendships, gathering his friends together so they could forge relationships with each other. Judge Telesca was truly evolved. He did not need to pray for wisdom, he had it.

We picture Judge Telesca in tennis whites, racket in hand, pocket copy of the Constitution at the ready, at the heavenly gates, where the Archangel Michael greets him with, “You’re much taller than even I thought you’d be.”

President Trump is not prepared for a crisis If the novel coronavirus pandemic has made anything abundantly clear, it is that President Donald Trump is not prepared for a crisis.

Trump has put us in grave danger almost from the outset of his presidency.

But in 2018, he closed the National Security Council Directorate for Global Health Security that was designed to prepare us for disease outbreak, like the one we are confronting now.

The result today is delay after delay in dealing with the pandemic. Throughout the early stages of the crisis, Trump has been a poor role model by shaking hands at rallies, initially claiming he didn’t need to be tested for COVID-19 after meeting with infected Brazilian officials, and telling us repeatedly that the public was not in danger, even though the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has being warning of danger since January.

Last month, Trump claimed that with warm weather the virus would “miraculously” go away.

He failed to make use of World Health Organizationdeveloped tests and waited for our labs to produce test kits still not fully available today.

Recently, and still without a full-scale plan, Trump announced “I am not concerned at all.”

Our president responded too slowly to COVID-19 and dispensed faulty information from the beginning. He is not only unprepared for a crisis.

He is ill-prepared to lead our country.

EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK | COMMENTARY BY DAVID ANDREATTA

We’re in this together; let’s act like it

It shouldn’t have taken a death and an order from the governor to close pretty much everything for our community to start respecting coronavirus for the pandemic it is. But that seems to be the case.

Until now, too many people refused to let the threat of the virus and the disease it causes, COVID-19, disrupt their lives in any significant way. Some holdouts are still resisting.

Sure, there was the panic buying and work-from-home arrangements and school closures. But many people, particularly young adults, appeared unfazed.

Take the scene in Rochester’s East End on Saturday night. It looked like any other post-St. Patrick’s Day Parade celebration.

There were lines out the doors of bars, vomit on the sidewalk.

One watering hole, Salinger’s on East Avenue, posted an enticement on Instagram: “Don’t be scared. Beer & shots are the vaccine. #f**kthecoronavirus.”

Although Monroe County had canceled the parade to keep an expected 100,000 revelers away amid mounting evidence that the virus had arrived, thousands of people defied the advice of health experts to stay home and partied anyway.

They snaked around each other in crowded barrooms and swapped money, phone numbers, spit, and sweat. The East End could have been a petri dish for the pathogen. The virus is spreading faster than anyone can track or test.

Earlier that day, county health officials announced a second confirmed a case in a woman who works at Greece Arcadia Middle School. The next day, officials had confirmed 10 cases, including four they said were “clearly connected” to the woman.

By Tuesday, the total cases had risen to 14, and one of those patients died. At this rate, there will be 30 cases by the end of the week.

The closure of restaurants, bars, gyms, and theaters indefinitely has forced us to socially distance ourselves from each other, finally. It is the responsible thing to do.

Social distancing and self-isolation are not about panicking. They are about being prudent. There are also about protecting yourself and others around you.

The incubation period for COVID-19 is two to 14 days. That means some people are likely infected right now and don’t know it.

If they’re living life as usual, they’re probably infecting other people.

The consequences are dire. Look at what’s going on in Italy, a country that is thought

to be ahead of the United States by a week or two in its outbreak. The healthcare system there is collapsing.

Roughly 3.9 percent of people who have tested positive for coronavirus worldwide are dead (7,527 deaths among 190,836 confirmed cases as of this writing). By contrast, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports the typical mortality rate from flu is about 0.1 percent.

Of course, as The Lancet medical journal noted, those coronavirus deaths are not representative of the actual mortality rate because they are relative to the number of confirmed cases of the infection. There are untold numbers of carriers of the disease who have not been tested, which would lower the death rate substantially.

The New York Times reported that CDC officials and epidemic experts from around the world conferred last month about what might happen if the coronavirus gained a foothold in the United States and nothing was done to slow transmission.

The agency’s top disease modeler presented four scenarios that projected between 160 million and 214 million people could be infected, and between 200,000 and 1.7 million people could die.

But those are worst-case scenarios mitigated by the fact that some cities, states, businesses, and individuals are finally acting responsibly.

Those actions include testing for the virus, tracing contacts, working from home, and social distancing.

The big question is whether Americans have the stamina to keep it up. We’re a people quick to become distracted, easily bored, and innately skeptical.

We had better be prepared to stay vigilant, though, because everything points to us being on the first rung of the curve of this epidemic.

How high that rollercoaster climbs is up to us.

We must look out for each other for however long it takes.

“Many of us were too selfish to change our behavior,” an Italian journalist wrote in a column in The Boston Globe last week.

“Now we’re in lockdown and people are dying needlessly.”

We humans are a resilient species. We have survived war, famine, tragedy, and other epidemics. We will get through this, too, as long as we realize we’re in it together, and act like it.

THANKS FOR BEING IN OUR CORNER For nearly 50 years, CITY has kept the powers that be in our community on their toes while highlighting the very best of our arts and cultural scenes.

In the meantime, nearly half of all newsroom jobs nationwide were lost. Tech titans plundered newsrooms’ traditional revenue streams and did little to replace the local news coverage knocked out in the process.

Now, the coronavirus pandemic has us on the ropes. In a matter of days, the pathogen wiped out months of revenue from advertising and events tied to what we do best — keeping people connected.

We’re still fighting the good fight.

But every fighter needs a team.

Prior to the current crisis, many of you who value what we do asked how you could help CITY stay vibrant, locally-owned, and free. Aside from reading and supporting our advertisers, who are struggling right along with us, you can become a CITY Champion.

Monroe has first COVID-19 death

A patient diagnosed with COVID-19 in Monroe County has died, the county public health commissioner, Dr. Michael Mendoza, announced Tuesday.

The death is the county’s first related to the coronavirus.

Mendoza said in a prepared statement that the patient died at Rochester General Hospital. No other details about the patient were released.

“Out of respect for their privacy, I cannot release details about this patient other than to say there were complicating factors that contributed to the death,” Mendoza said. “My sincerest condolences to this patient’s family and friends.”

County Executive Adam Bello said of the death in a prepared statement, “Our entire community grieves this loss.”

“My heart is with the patient’s family, and I ask the community join me in keeping them in our thoughts and prayers,” Bello said.

Earlier in the day, the county reported 14 confirmed cases of coronavirus.

The first was confirmed a week earlier, on March 11.

Activists to RG&E: halt all shutoffs

In light of economic fallout from coronavirus, seven Rochester progressive organizations called on Rochester Gas & Electric to halt utility shut-offs, waive late fees, and cancel a planned rate increase.

RG&E has placed a 30day moratorium on shutoffs due to non-payment and will later re-evaluate the policy, said Michael Jamison, senior manager of corporate communications for RG&E and NYSEG. In a statement provided to CITY, the groups said the 30-day shut-off moratorium is inadequate. Citizen Action of New York, Metro Justice, Rochester City-Wide Tenants Union, Rochester DSA, Rochester People’s Climate Coalition, ROCitizen, and VOCAL-NY all signed on to the statement.

“No company should be putting private profits before the health and wellbeing of our community members,” the statement reads.

The organizations note that Iberdrola, RG&E’s parent company, had a $3.8 billion profit last year —13 percent higher than the previous year.

RG&E is still negotiating a potential rate case settlement and information will be made publicly available when a proposed settlement is filed with regulators, Jamison said.

Town and village courts closed, jury trials halted

The Monroe County Hall of Justice in downtown Rochester.

FILE PHOTO

Town and village courts across New York have been shuttered and all “non-essential functions” of the court system have been postponed in response to the coronavirus pandemic, under a directive of the state’s chief administrative judge.

The order from Judge Lawrence Marks was issued late Sunday, two days after he suspended new civil and criminal jury trials. Both of the directives became effective on Monday.

The practical implications of town and village courts closing is that cases slated to be heard there will be adjourned at least 45 days.

Any ongoing cases in those courts in Monroe County are now to be held at the Hall of Justice in downtown Rochester.

Jury trials underway will keep going, Marks wrote, but no new trials will start.

One noteworthy aspect of the earlier directive was that “no new grand juries shall be empaneled absent exceptional circumstances.”

Prosecutors in Monroe County routinely present cases to grand juries as an alternative to a preliminary hearing.

Doing so is thought to give prosecutors an advantage in that they avoid presenting evidence in open court and having their witnesses cross-examined.

County Public Defender Tim Donaher said his office was preparing for preliminary hearings to resume.

That may not happen for some time, however.

District Attorney Sandra Doorley said there are currently two empaneled grand juries, one sitting through March 20, and the other through March 31.

She added that she may seek an exception to have a grand jury on call through the current crisis.

“We need to have a grand jury sitting even if it’s having them on call,” Doorley said. “Cases are still going to be coming through the door every day and we still have to do our jobs.”

Woody Battaglia, whose ubiquity in the comedy scene included booking shows, teaching stand-up classes, and producing and hosting open mics, podcasts, and radio programs, acknowledged having inappropriate conversations with women and soliciting compromising photos from at least one female comedian.

ME TOO | BY DAVID ANDREATTA

Accused comedian Woody Battaglia issues statement, acknowledges wrongdoing Exiled from the Rochester comedy scene amid allegations of sexual assault and sexual harassment, comedian Woody Battaglia has issued a lengthy statement in which he admitted to some inappropriate behavior and denied the more serious accusations.

At more than 3,200 words, the statement, which Battaglia posted on his website at woodybattaglia.com, read in parts like a mea culpa, an attempt at atonement, and a defense.

Battaglia, whose ubiquity in the comedy scene included booking shows, teaching stand-up classes, and producing and hosting open mics, podcasts, and radio programs, acknowledged having inappropriate conversations with women and soliciting and receiving compromising photos from at least one female comedian whom he had booked.

“I’m sorry to the community I loved and was a part of,” Battaglia wrote.

“I had inappropriate conversations with women in the Rochester comedy community. I thought that I was being careful, but I was in a leadership position and that adds complexity.”

“I was wrong to do this from the beginning,” he added later, speaking of the photos. “Even though I felt it was

consensual at the time, these lines are blurred by the lopsided power dynamic inherent in our relationship as comedy booker and comedian.”

The allegations against Battaglia roiled the local comedy community and prompted a swift and thorough backlash almost overnight, with multiple female and male collaborators publicly shunning him.

Making the accusations all the more stunning, and the immediate fallout from them noteworthy, was that Battaglia had positioned himself as a champion of safe spaces for female comedians and comics from marginalized groups.

The allegations were posted anonymously online last month on the microblogging site Tumblr and accused Battaglia, whose real name is Ron Wood, of abusing his authority in the comedy scene and engaging in “obvious patterns of predation.”

The post and subsequent updates consisted mainly of screenshots of private messages that Battaglia has since acknowledged were between himself and women, and screenshots of private messages from anonymous alleged victims sharing their stories, interspersed with commentary.

Only one accuser, Emily Champion, a musician who tended bar at an open mic Battaglia hosted, identified herself.

She shared a screenshot of a private conversation in which Battaglia made a comment about needing to see her breasts.

In a phone interview following Battaglia’s statement, Champion said she was not surprised. “I expected this 100 percent, because it’s patterns of men being accused of abuse,” she said. “This is not something they want for their reputation.”

Battaglia pledged in the statement to make amends but continued to deny allegations that he sexually assaulted women, as he had in an interview with CITY for a report three weeks ago.

He also walked back a suggestion he made to CITY at the time that the allegations stemmed from his quitting his role as producer of a podcast. Battaglia had said that concerns voiced over the perceived unprofessionalism with which he left that job snowballed into the accusations. “(M)y best guess was that I had been called out online a few days previous and maybe that had stirred anyone who already had some ill will against me,” he wrote. “I do not know that to be true.”

He added: “I do not hold the hosts (of the podcast) responsible for what has happened.”

The accusers called for Battaglia’s removal from leadership positions in the scene and that he reconcile with his alleged victims.

In his statement, Battaglia cataloged an extensive list of jobs he said he held in comedy circles that he no longer has. He wrote that he has no comedy or public appearances booked.

LABOR | BY GINO FANELLI

As coronavirus spreads, Rochester service workers face daunting future It is a Thursday morning and Amanda Calieri, a server at the Genesee Brew House, is home sick with mononucleosis. After 11 years in the service industry, Calieri knows that taking a sick day is a gamble.

“In most places I’ve worked at, the first thing you have to do is find someone to cover your shift, and if you can’t do that, you need to get a note from a doctor to prove you’re sick,” Calieri said. “That visit could cost me $200, but if I don’t get it, I might be risking my job.”

Prior to Monday, when Genesee temporarily shut down its pilot brewery and Brew House in compliance with a state directive to combat the coronavirus pandemic, Calieri was also missing out on wages and tips. She hadn’t been receiving paid sick leave, though the Brew House offered paid leave to workers, including Calieri, after suspending operations.

Calieri’s experience punctuated a reality for many part-time workers — if you’re sick, you go to work, because calling in means not getting paid and may even run the risk of losing your job.

But the forced closure of restaurants and bars across New York has heightened awareness of the issue of paid sick days for part-time workers. New York currently has no laws requiring employers to provide paid sick leave.

Before coronavirus hit, Governor Andrew Cuomo had been urging state legislators to pass a bill that would require employers with more than five workers to offer them a minimum of five paid sick days. “It’s good for employees, and it is good for business,” Cuomo said.

Now, he’s also asking the legislature to pass legislation requiring employers to provide paid leave of up to 14 days for any worker who has to go into quarantine due to coronavirus — the standard quarantine length recommended by the Centers for Disease Control. Anyone who has the virus is subject to quarantine and anyone who shows symptoms is supposed to self-isolate.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 29 percent of private industry employees across the country had no paid sick leave in 2018.

In the age of coronavirus, even veteran fulltime employees at large companies aren’t likely to have enough sick days to cover a quarantine.

on average, 10 paid sick days, according to bureau data.

“All of these basic benefits like living wages, paid sick leave, paid time off, or vacation time are all but unheard of in the service industry,” said Mohini Sharma, lead organizer with Metro Justice. Sharma began her activism work as a result of years working in restaurants and bars.

While Cuomo is working with the legislature to pass paid leave laws, some local businesses, large and small, are not waiting for Albany to act. Both Ugly Duck Coffee and Dinosaur Bar-B-Que issued statements last week announcing a new paid sick leave benefit for workers.

With just eight employees, Ugly Duck co-owners Rory and Cris Van Grol said that paid sick leave is a benefit they have wanted to offer. The coronavirus pandemic was a catalyst to push it forward.

“We had to think about what happens if we don’t take care of our team, if they don’t feel healthy and supported coming into work,” Rory Van Grol said.

All employees at Ugly Duck will start with 30 hours of paid sick leave. With shifts typically clocking in between five and a half and six hours, 30 hours works out to a typical work week.

The Van Grols see the decision and associated expense as necessary for the well-being of their employees. But the future during the pandemic remains daunting for them.

“What happens if we have to close? How long can we support them if we have no income?” Cris Van Grol said. “We have to think about these things.”

Meanwhile, Chuck Cerankosky, who runs Good Luck, CURE, Lucky’s, and the Jackrabbit Club event space, said he reassured his employees that their jobs will be secure if they take sick days.

“We don’t want people worried that if they take a day off that they’re going to lose their jobs,” Cerankosky said. “We want them to feel safe taking as much time as they need, and that their job will be here when they get back.”

His employees don’t receive paid sick days, but if any of them have to go into mandatory quarantine they’ll receive paid leave, he said.

T

he confirmed cases of coronavirus in Monroe County are growing exponentially, as they have around the globe, and that means life as we know it has changed and will keep changing as we attempt to limit the scourge of this pathogen. Call it the new normal of COVID-19.

By the end of last week, local arts and cultural institutions had shut down, colleges and public schools closed their campuses and moved to online learning, and large events like the St. Patrick’s Day Parade were canceled.

By Sunday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a recommendation that all gatherings of 50 people or more be canceled, including conferences, parades, sporting events, and, well, you name it.

On Monday, Governor Andrew Cuomo ordered all restaurants and bars to close and shift to take-out and delivery only, and directed gyms and movie theaters to shutter.

Life as we know it is changing so quickly that by the time this article makes it onto the printed page, there will no doubt be more disruptions to our daily routines.

Few things are certain. But what is guaranteed is that we’re each facing varying levels of isolation. The coming days, weeks, months will be marked by self-imposed and involuntary quarantines and the new concept of “social distancing,” a term health agencies coined to tell people to avoid crowds and keep a healthy distance from one another.

More people are going to work from home and — once the panic buying slows down or stops — fewer people will be out in restaurants and stores.

The new normal of COVID-19 will, for many people, take a mental toll. It will introduce new stresses into everyone’s lives.

Humans are social creatures used to greeting each other with handshakes and hugs, gathering together for all sorts of reasons, and interacting face to face.

“We invite friends over for dinner after work, we go out to meet other people,” said Dr. George Nasra, a professor of clinical psychiatry at University of Rochester Medical Center. “We engage in social activities to distract ourselves, to decrease stress, to manage our own anxiety, but also to belong — to feel that we belong, that we’re not alone.”

If people can’t do that, Nasra adds, they lose stress relievers and may look for 8 CITY

unhealthy substitutes, such excessive food and alcohol consumption.

For folks who find themselves spending more time at home, away from crowds and friends, there are some red flags to watch out for and some important steps they can take to minimize the stress and anxiety of these uncertain times.

therapist whose practice is in the Neighborhood of the Arts, emphasize that structure and routine are essential to fighting increased isolation, and it’s critical for people who are quarantined or self-isolated.

“A quarantine situation, the first thing it does, it disrupts our usual routine so we have to create our own (new routines),” Nasra said.

That means, among other things, getting up and going to bed at set times and creating some activities throughout the day, he said.

Much of his guidance isn’t much different from the advice veteran telecommuters give to people who are new to working from home.

Families, who now will have parents

HAVE A ROUTINE

working from home and children who won’t be leaving for school, would also benefit from recreating routines as much as they can.

“Routine is everyone’s friend,” Dobbin said.

She added that laying out clear ground rules can help families and households avoid conflict, since doing so helps clarify expectations. Clear, agreed-upon rules about things such as screen time or how work around the house is going to be divided also help in the event of a disagreement, since they provide a starting point for a discussion.

“There’s so much uncertainty coming from all sides, to the extent that we can create our own, predictability is important,” Dobbin said.

Experts including Nasra and Stephanie Vail Dobbin, a licensed marriage and family

FIND THINGS TO DO

Part of building a routine or schedule is filling it with stuff. The trouble now is that time-honored stuff — like going to the gym or carving out time for a glass of wine with a partner at a restaurant — are no longer options.

But even people who are quarantined have options, experts said, especially given the prevalence of technology in many of our lives.

“It’s very important not to be idle in this situation, not to be just sitting there, doing nothing, listening to the news and waiting for some kind of doom and gloom scenario to happen,” Nasra said.

For many people, work or classes will be among their activities. Nasra also advises working in some time to connect with family and friends as well as making sure to pay attention to pets, including walking your dog if you aren’t under quarantine or have been cleared to do so. He also recommended making time for some sort of physical activity.

Social media sites have countless posts where people are sharing online yoga and other home exercise classes. They’re also sharing virtual museum visits, podcast recommendations, and other suggestions for keeping busy.

Kristen Seversky, a product owner at Paychex, sees video gaming as a place people can turn to clear their minds. A good game can be absorbing and mentally challenging, which helps time pass without it feeling wasted.

As the collective anxiety around COVID-19 ramped up, she asked on Twitter what games would help people endure a quarantine. The responses ranged from sprawling video games like Civilization, Sims, and Minecraft, to the time-honored jigsaw puzzle.

“Games take on a lot of shapes and sizes, especially in VR where they do painting and artistic-type things where you’re immersed in art,” Seversky said. “You can be mindful, you can just be relaxed and calm, just get into a different world for a bit. You don’t have to connect, you don’t have to be doing some war or battle or strategy. It could just be you with you.”

Seversky also said that lots of apps and games for children have an educational focus, making them a good option for parents to check out. She noted that Rochester’s Second Avenue Learning produces games with a math and STEM focus.

WXXI’s Education Outreach Center has also published a list of free educational apps for children, which is available at bit.ly/ wxxikidsfreeapps. WXXI Public Media is the parent company of CITY.

CONNECT WITH PEOPLE

As far as connecting to family and friends, people are going to have to get creative. Technology, however, will help people stay connected without getting together in big groups.

Nasra urges people to use video calling services like Apple’s FaceTime to stay in touch with people close to them and to reach out to friends and family who are in quarantine.

Scheduling calls helps with a sense of routine, he said.

Dobbin adds that parents can use video calling services to set up virtual playdates for their children and give them more face time with people they care about. Or, in the tradition of pen pals, they can arrange for friends to e-mail each other back and forth.

“A lot of stress and conflict ultimately could be stemming from not getting enough connecting, not feeling close to friends,” Dobbin said.

Zoom has received a lot of attention recently for opening up its video conferencing service to more users for free.

Spectrum is offering two months of free internet access to households with K-12 students or college students, provided they don’t already have service.

Seversky, who described herself as an extrovert, said she likes the idea of friends playing board games over video chat services such as FaceTime, Skype, or Zoom. Video games, especially online multi-player ones like World of Warcraft, can also serve as an outlet for socialization.

She used to bond with coworkers after hours by playing as a six-person unit in Overwatch, a team-based shooter game.

“To me, it’s the same,” Seversky said.

“Virtual or not, if you’re just talking, communicating, and learning about each other then I don’t see how it’s different,” Seversky said.

“We’re still together, we’re just not in person,” Seversky later added. “That’s fine.”

Dr. George Nasra, a professor of clinical psychiatry, said routine is very important for fighting feelings of isolation.

Kristen Seversky said that video games can provide an absorbing mental challenge, and can serve as an outlet for socialization.

BE AWARE OF YOUR MENTAL STATE

It’s normal for people to be nervous and anxious right now, Nasra said. Anxiety includes some physical symptoms, such as increased heart rate, feeling on edge, and restlessness.

If those symptoms come and go with little disruption, that’s one thing.

“When they start to interfere with our daily life, that’s when we should be concerned,” Nasra said. “When we start, for example, becoming more irritable, short-tempered with other people; when we are not able to get a good night’s sleep; when we find that we are having nightmares; when we are not able to focus and concentrate on daily activities.”

It’s crucial for people in quarantine to monitor their mental state, but it’s important for everyone else to do so, too. Nasra encourages people to listen to others if they express concerns about their well-being.

“Sometimes you are not the best judge,” Nasra said. “So if we hear feedback from loved ones or family members who say you’re not yourself, to take that seriously.”

Anyone who is feeling stressed or anxious should take advantage of their workplace’s employee assistance plan (EAP) if they have one, Nasra said. Those services typically can direct people to tele-health counseling. Many therapists and medical professionals also offer tele-health appointments.

Nasra also has some advice — which may be a little tough to swallow — about what not to do. He cautions people to avoid increasing their alcohol consumption or turning to unhealthy food to relieve stress. Both can have damaging effects on health and well-being.

ADDRESS FAMILY PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY BUBBLE UP

Every family is different and will have its own unique coronavirus-related challenges and stresses.

Some will struggle with the appropriate way to supervise teenagers who are now at home with lots of unstructured time ahead of them. Others will have to strike a balance between parents who need to work from home and to care for younger children, or adult children who need to care for aging

parents. Many households will face the stress that comes with a loss of income.

“As your own emotions mount it can be harder to then deal with, on top of that, the relational strain of being in situations that aren’t usual for your family,” Dobbin said.

She added that signs of looming conflict could range from general irritability among members of a household to teenagers acting out. Parents may feel anxious and desperate to get out.

She advises parents and family members not to let conflict bubble up, and to try to address points of friction early. Structure, routine, and established ground rules can help prevent conflict, too.

If families are having difficulty working through problems, Dobbin recommends reaching out to a licensed family therapist, many of whom offer tele-health appointments.

Dobbin also notes that parents and children may also be disappointed, sad, or angry about cancelled travel plans and cancelled sporting events or other activities. Families should make space for those feelings.

“You don’t want to encourage kids to bury all of that,” Dobbin said. “You kind of want to let them feel what they’re going to feel about it and be like ‘Yeah, it’s really disappointing.’”

Take Out & Stay In Fizzy lifting drinks [ BEER ] BY GINO FANELLI

Beer is not on the top of my shopping list as I prepare to practice social distancing and brace for a seemingly inevitable quarantine. Canned vegetables, dry pasta, a galaxy of beans and rice, these are the essentials I’m stocking up on in the event I’m mandated to spend prolonged time indoors. Like every level-headed person, I am methodically preparing for the worst.

So too are your local breweries, and for that reason, a couple of four-packs will certainly make their way into my cart.

“My inbox is full, breweries are really worried,” says Paul Leone, executive director of the New York Brewers Association. “It’s mostly the unknown of what’s going to happen if you have to close up.”

As of 8 p.m. Monday, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced all bars and restaurants will be closed, but any product can still be sold for takeout. Like most small businesses, breweries operate on a razor-thin margin, with most proceeds injected right back into operations. A weeks-long pause in business could be devastating.

“Worst-case scenario, some breweries might not survive this,” Leone says.

Leone and the Brewers Association worked with the state Liquor Authority to negotiate some temporary help for breweries, like allowing them to offer athome deliveries.

“Luckily, the Liquor Authority is moving pretty quickly on this, but these are very short-term options,” Leone says.

Now is the time for the people who believe in local beer to put their money where their mouth is and only buy beers brewed within a reasonable drive from your home.

It’s a good time for it, too. Rohrbach Brewing recently re-released the beloved Griddle Cakes — unbelievably, the second blueberry pancake ale I’ve written about this year — and Spencerport’s Brindle Haus has released an all NYS Pale Ale in collaboration with Verona Street Animal Society, complete with photos of shelter pups on each can.

Open for (limited) business [ FEATURE ] BY CHRIS THOMPSON

Workplace shut-downs due to COVID-19 are affecting people across the nation, including here in Monroe County. I’m writing this one day into working from home after my office told employees not to report in. You might be reading this from your couch, having been told to work from home. It’s going to be a lonely few weeks.

I’m fortunate in that I can easily work from home with few hassles. The same can’t be said for those working in the food industry, who took a big hit on Monday when the state mandated that all restaurants, bars, and cafés switch to takeout only. This impacts everyone: whether you enjoy your morning espresso at a café before work, grab a bite out at lunch, or enjoy dinner with friends before heading home, our cafes, restaurants, and bars are the cells of our society that keep it energized. But more than inconveniencing us, the shut-downs are a seriously big deal to food businesses — especially the small, local ones.

While some have chosen to shut down operations altogether, a bunch of local coffee shops and eateries are staying open, but with limited offerings and no dine-in service, per the governor’s executive decree.

Many are providing curbside service so that you don’t have to get out of your car. Many more are taking orders online and over the phone, and are providing delivery either directly or through online apps, such as Grubhub and Door Dash.

At New Ethic Vegan Pizza (newethicpizza.com, @newethicpizza) in Irondequoit, owner Matt Nersinger cut his dining room seating in half over the weekend, and before the mandate was established, ended dining-in altogether.

Fortunately for him and New Ethic, he does not have wait staff, but he does have a large team that performs all duties including taking orders and preparing and making the food. They have downsized their regular staff in order to keep everyone healthy and safe. New Ethic is offering curbside pickup upon request

and in-store pickup is available as well.

In-house delivery is also available in the 14622 and 14617 areas, and Nersinger encourages folks outside of those areas to use GrubHub or Uber Eats for delivery.

New Ethic is currently open Wednesday through Saturday, 4:30 to 8 p.m.

Ugly Duck Coffee (uglyduckcoffee. com, @uglyduccoffee) has also been ahead of matters in dealing with the COVID-19 crisis. Last week, owner Rory Van Grol switched to reusable cups, with even inhouse orders served in to-go vessels to prevent contamination. Lids and milks were no longer self-serve and were doled out behind the bar by gloved workers. Over the weekend he conferred with his staff and decided that starting Monday, March 16, the sit-in dining area would be closed, and only to-go orders would be taken.

Many people we spoke to said they’d prefer cashless transactions, if possible, as money tends to carry more microbes than we’d prefer to think about. Van Grol also implemented a paid sick leave program for

his staff, should they feel ill — which is a big deal for a small business. Van Grol says he feels a responsibility to make his team feel as safe as possible, a duty he holds seriously, and one he expects our government to embrace as well.

The pastries at Ugly Duck are from Flour City Bakery and Scratch Bakery, two other local businesses that are treading troubled waters.

Additionally, Van Grol is setting up a virtual tip jar on the Ugly Duck website that he will distribute to all of his employees. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Aside from patronizing these businesses, a good way to take care of workers is to tip generously.

CITY’s cultural coverage in the age of COVID-19 Extreme times call for extreme measures.

As the Rochester and Finger Lakes regions grapple with the evolving situation surrounding the novel coronavirus pandemic, we at CITY have decided to suspend publishing event previews in our Music and Arts & Entertainment sections. Not only have mass cancelations in response to the crisis created a void of events to preview, but we believe it irresponsible at this time to promote events where large groups of people may gather.

That said, our commitment to covering local arts, music, and culture is unwavering, and we will continue to provide fresh content that reflects our community’s strength and resiliency. Our events calendar will feature updated event listings, including events that will now only be accessible via live webstream. We encourage you to check with individual venues for the most up-to-date information.

As always, turn to us for arts and music features stories, reviews, and other culturally relevant content. Thank you for your continued readership. Stay safe out there.

[ ALBUM REVIEWS ]

Jackson Cavalier ‘Two//Four’ Self-released jacksoncavalier.bandcamp.com There’s no denying it. In fact, Jackson Cavalier admits it. Bob Dylan’s fingerprints are all over his new “Two//Four” album. That’s not to say these are Dylan’s songs and it’s not to say Cavalier lampoons Dylan’s style, though there’s an audible and infectious twang to his vocals. What locks it in is the fact that the fingerprints of frequent Dylan collaborators The Band are also all over this collection.

But don’t call it an EP; it’s more like an extended release that rolls out in four parts starting with last years “One//Four.” Despite the record’s haunting melodic approach, which emits a dry cry from bloodshot eyes, Cavalier writes with intent and purpose. You’ve probably seen the man as a busker in the street, but this is a full-band affair with help coming in the form of The Mt. Vernon Two and Big Dead Waltz.

Aristéa Mellos ‘Songs for a Day’ Xenofone Records xenofone.co.au

“Songs for a Day,” the newest set of recorded works by Australian composer and Eastman School of Music alumnus Aristéa Mellos, is a fresh and earnest homage to late-19th and early20th-century classical music.

Beginning with “Prelude” for solo piano, Mellos strongly evokes the Impressionistic music of Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel, with plenty of whole-tone harmonic structures, urgent rhythms, and ephemeral timbres. A highlight is the four-part “Songs of Resignation,” with beautiful but shifty chord progressions set to Greek poet C.P. Cavafy’s mournful words about a once-promising life passing by without fulfillment. Soprano Helen Zhibing Huang sings with exceptional clarity and dramatic, yet light tones, and pianist Ada Arumeh Kim Lowery delivers key phrases with added intensity and import.

[ PLAYLIST ] BY DANIEL J. KUSHNER

D WODE BR LASE WITH FRANK

Musicians feel the pinch This past weekend, I didn’t go to the St. Patrick’s Day parade, with its doused-ingreen, not-so-sober charade. Nor did I see Greg Townson do the duckwalk, with feeling on the ceiling. I didn’t go to London or France, so it’s safe to say I never saw anyone’s underpants. My cheers fell on deaf ears and bounced off empty halls’ walls.

The Rochester music scene was a skeleton of itself. There was nothing to see, hardly.

In the coming weeks, a lot of musicians are gonna feel the hit from the panic surrounding the novel coronavirus. People are going to be wary about stepping out for a while, and there’s only so much you can do with a GoFundMe page. It’s gonna hit those in our music community for whom live performance is their lifeblood.

So I’m encouraging an impromptu “support Rochester musicians” initiative.

Yeah, that’s the ticket. You can purchase their music online. Donate to virtual tip jars when musicians livestream their performances from home. Maybe offer to pay for pizza delivery or dry cleaning, or whatever. PayPal can be a musician’s best friend. Who’s with me?

16 CITY MARCH 18 - 24, 2020

With concert events and gatherings of all kinds being canceled in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the term “social distancing” is suddenly (and rightly) in vogue. Whether these new guidelines for staying healthy and limiting the spread of the novel coronavirus feel like coerced introspection or just business as usual, it’s already become abundantly clear that the way we as Rochesterians — and as a society at large — consume music in the coming days and weeks is changing drastically.

But even as we give each other space and avoid attending live music events, now is not the time to disconnect from local musicians. It’s just the opposite. Whether you’re patronizing artists’ Bandcamp pages, subscribing to their Patreon pages for exclusive content you can’t get elsewhere, or watching a band’s livestream performance from the comfort of your couch and tipping accordingly, there are plenty of ways to support the Rochester-area musicians you love during this challenging time of canceled shows and severely reduced incomes.

With that in mind, here’s a set of 14 songs (also available on Spotify at open.spotify.com/user/roccitynews) from various Rochester musicians and others with local ties, to pass the time as you wait things out at home. From beautiful folk songs to easy-listening funk and jazz instrumentals to soothing pop-soul tunes, this playlist is meant to ease the nerves and boost your mood, even if some of the songs give off vaguely apocalyptic vibes.

1

Though the husband-and-wife duo of Timothy and Kathy Dick now live in Arizona, their formerly Rochester-based band Auld Lang Syne spent many years here writing exquisite songs. And to my ears, “Last of the Honeybees” represents the pinnacle. A modern folk masterpiece, the song is a dirge written in memory of innocence lost and humanity’s potential for good and beauty.

Accompanied only by an acoustic guitar and sparse percussion, Timothy Dick sings with the heartbreak of an earnest troubadour, joined by a small chamber choir for what I can only describe as the most brilliant choral arrangement I’ve ever heard in a pop song. Despite the seemingly dreary outlook in the words, there’s something uplifting and transcendent about the music itself that projects a bleary-eyed optimism.

3

“Blood Bear,” the opening track from Annika Bentley on her “Silver Recovery”

EP, is a stunning bit of R&B-pop that’ll grip you right from the beginning.

Moody piano chords quickly open up into a soulful ballad spearheaded by Bentley’s dynamic vocals. The strength and vibrancy of her performance can’t be overstated, as she sings about leaving behind a once-smoldering romance that has since faded. It’s all very decadent somehow; your ears will thank you for indulging in this tune.

5

6

7

2

Another song featuring rich harmonies from a couple, “Where We Are” by Americana-folk outfit The Crooked North radiates the kind of homespun warmth that only traditional bluegrass instrumentation can provide. In gently lilting tones, Ben and Rita Proctor sing a love song in which two people find a spark, but can’t quite seem to connect and make the relationship last. With backing from guitar, banjo, mandolin, bass, and fiddle, “Where We Are” recalls the sound of the pop-bluegrass trio Nickel Creek, circa 2000. It’s all very bittersweet, and totally on-point.

4

Cammy Enaharo’s “Home” is equally soulful, if more understated. Accompanying herself with her trusty baritone ukulele, Enaharo is supported by the bassist Ryder Eaton and percussionist Gary Lamaar, whose funk-jazz bass lines and light swing rhythms add extra pep to Enaharo’s pop-folk charm. The popular Rochester songwriter sings of leaving a busy party in favor of the comfort of home, as she contemplates giving a budding relationship the time and space to grow.

The next three songs are tasty instrumentals perfect for maximizing your chill factor. Vanishing Sun is a local band that is due for a bigger breakout, and its fusion of funk, soul, and jazz is downright delectable.

On “The Drift,” from the album “Supernova,” sax and guitar solos veer off into the stratosphere, while the groove in the keyboards and rhythm section keep things rooted. Improvisational jazz trio Dream Float lays down some slick rhythms of its own on “Salvo Apocalypto,” a piano-led affair that combines a kind of classical grandeur with Latininfused beats and a silky smooth, funk-tinged bass line. This stuff is way too substantive to simply be labeled “easy listening,” but it is easy on the ears.

Things take a turn toward the ambient on “Contrails” by Tigue, a trio of New York City-based percussionists and Eastman School alumni. If you like ethereal drone music you can just bliss out to, this track is a keeper.

8

Here’s where the playlist gets mercurial. Hinkley’s “Let’s Rot Together” is a joyful, buzzy blend of jangly melodies and guitar noise, resulting in a throwback to 90s indie rock that’s well worth the trip.

9

“Into the Mystery” by Ryan Flynn is dance-inducing electro-pop, straight-up. If you’re not tapping toes or bobbing your head to this song, it may be time for some serious soul-searching.

10

When it comes to Rochester hip-hop, it doesn’t get much cleverer or ear-tickling than the music of Moses Rockwell.

“Ghost Me,” with a guest appearance by Gary Lamaar, has plenty of low-key poise, an intricate beat, and brilliant use of organ sounds. Expect some seriously witty flow that’ll make you crack a smile or two.

11

Sure, the music of King Buffalo has psychedelic tendencies, and a certain progressive sensibility when it comes to shifting melodic themes and rhythms. But at its heart, this Rochester rock trio simply has the sense to give its songs the time and space needed to fully flesh out the grooves. I defy you to not fall in love with the recurring grunge riff on “Longing to Be the Mountain.” Sit back, close your eyes, and lose yourself for the next 10 minutes.

12

“Paranoia” is part of musician-illustrator-writer Dave Chisholm’s soundtrack to his graphic novel “Instrumental,” the story of a

struggling jazz trumpeter who happens upon a special horn that can reverse his fortunes, but also usher in the apocalypse. With Chisholm taking the lead on the trumpet, “Paranoia” is a dream-like haze of harmonic textures, hyperactive drumming, and sultry energy.

13

Things calm down with Siena’s “Dear House” a brooding piano ballad that echoes ethereally throughout. Ephemeral energy pulses through this pop song, energized by Siena Faciolo’s ardent vocal delivery. Lyrically, love and loneliness commingle: “Our house, resting strong, on the hill, all alone, wears its heart out.” The vibe is desolate, but the sound is sweet.

URGENT: Jimi Hendrix Club meeting POSTPONED for this Saturday, March 21st, due to the CORONAVIRUS. Read CITY News in the near future for rescheduling of the next meeting of the Jimi Hendrix Club of Greater Rochester.

Thank you, and stay safe.

-Chris Wilmot-

14

The “Songs for ‘Social Distancing’” playlist closes with the only cover of the bunch, an inspired rendition of Radiohead’s unlikely ’90s hit “Creep,” sung by Danielle Ponder. At this point, it’s hard to infuse this oft-covered song with new energy and fresh purpose.

But Ponder succeeds mightily, precisely because she makes it her own. The familiar, reverb-drenched chord progression — played with intent by pianist Avis Reese— remains intact, but Ponder departs from the original melody at all the right moments, adding greater melodic interest and emotional tension. The Rochester soul queen makes “Creep” the anthem it was never really meant to be. It would have been enough for this version to merely be hauntingly beautiful, but Ponder takes defeatist lyrics and transforms them into something empowering.

Rochester’s Joywave was not thinking of “social distancing” as it was writing and recording “Possession,” but the new album is prescient in its commentary.

Joywave’s ‘Possession’: a prophetic take on isolation [ COMMENTARY ] BY JEFF SPEVAK

Coronavirus’ vast, leathery bat wings are slowly encircling the planet — casting a shadow across the globe, choking out light, our culture. Go home, draw the curtains closed, turn on the television, do not answer calls from friends inviting you to dinner or a movie.

The moment calls for a new cautionary label. It was “duck and cover” for those who survived the Cold War…“Shelter in place” for those who heard shots from a lone gunman in the next classroom… Now, “social distancing”….

Bars and restaurants are closing, festivals are being cancelled or postponed, concert tours are imploding. Even museums are seen as a possible danger, and their doors are being 18 CITY MARCH 18 - 24, 2020

locked. The negative economic impact is huge, the hole in our souls is equally large.

So we sit in our darkened homes and listen to “Possession.” Released Friday, it’s the third full-length album by Rochester’s Joywave: singer and main songwriter Daniel Armbruster, guitarist Joseph Morinelli, keyboardist Benjamin Bailey, and drummer Paul Brenner.

Joywave’s tour in support of “Possession” was to have opened Tuesday in Tampa, with shows following in three more Florida cities. But they’re now victims of coronavirus restrictions.

The tour resumes, perhaps, April 18 at Buffalo’s Town Ballroom and hits all of the big markets.

That leg of the tour closes in Rochester, June 22 at Anthology.

Joywave was not thinking of social distancing as it was writing and recording “Possession” in a studio barn outside of

Rochester. And the term “released” is a subjective term in the music industry these days, since we’ve heard nearly half of the album already, as singles flung like confetti to the internet.

But now, assembled in one place, the songs dart around a shared theme. Maybe that’s too strong a statement, as “Possession” is not a concept album; but there is a common thread: dark times.

Today’s indie rock, especially as geared for music clubs and concert tours, is a shiny, pulsing ball that has to be broken open to see what’s inside. What’s revealed is sometimes disappointing. There is nothing there. Or maybe, nothing for you.

Joywave and “Possession,” however, do not disappoint. The production is lush and ambitious. And there is much beneath the

racing riffs of “Half Your Age,” the dance-floor throb of “Obsession,” the creepy synth of “F.E.A.R.,” the spacey effects of “Blastoffff,” and the tribal, snarky, and ominous “Who Owns Who?” Joywave can be self-mocking and satirical.

That side is balanced by introspection and fragility. And it’s a daring move to open “Possession” with the most fragile song on the album — and the most gorgeous — the piano ballad “Like a Kennedy.”

“Like a Kennedy” voices many concerns: “Are they gonna bomb us all? I don’t know/ Do you think they’ll build the wall? I don’t know/ Do you think they’ll take it all? I don’t know/ I just want to be fat and old and happy” That is immediately upended by the confident “Coming Apart,” a cynical anthem: “You’re amazing and beautiful, but it’s an age made for the stupid and dumb/ We’ve got parents regretting their young, a malaise that could block out the sun.” On the toy-like, elastic groove of “Funny Thing About Opinions,” we hear a self-satisfied chorus of “There’s nobody else out here that I wanna know.”

Self-doubt creeps in. “Am I a letdown? Am I a bore now?” Joywave asks on the title track.

With “Half Your Age,” Armbruster comforts anyone who feels they’ve fallen short of their dreams. “Giving up is not a crime, moving on when it’s time,” he sings.

Joywave overlooks no angle. The vinyl record and CD are presented as gold discs, reminiscent of the Golden Record that accompanied the Voyager 1 and 2 unmanned spacecraft in 1977.

Those discs contained sounds from Earth — curated by the astronomer Carl Sagan — which are sampled on “Possession.” Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, two travelers on a journey, from which they would never return.

The relationships detailed on “Possession” are conducted from a distance, sometimes a vast one. “I’m in town for an hour now, can you meet to talk about parallel space and time,” Armbruster sings on “Blastoffff.” On “No Shoulder,” he laments, “Waiting for the one I cannot live without, to replace the one I thought I could not live without.”

The album, Armbruster says, is about control. With “Possession.” all relationships are tenuous. It’s as much about possessing something as it is about losing possession of it.

The Memorial Art Gallery’s permanent collection of more than 12,000 works of art and cultural objects spans 5,000 years of history, and you can explore it from home via the MAG’s website. PHOTO PROVIDED

Virtual tours [ FEATURE ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

One of the big, impactful precautions a lot of people are taking to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is social distancing, which has manifested in folks voluntarily staying in, state and local mandates for institutions and organizations to temporarily shut down, and in some cases, organizations voluntarily closing up shop. Last week, many of the area galleries and museums collectively decided to close for at least a couple of weeks, which means that while they’re protecting their patrons, we’re missing out on some current and upcoming programming and exhibits.

But there are ways to interact with arts and cultural intuitions and organizations while their doors are closed. As long as this epidemic continues, CITY will be reporting on the creative ways the public can still participate in — and support — Rochester’s arts scene without leaving home. This week, I’m writing about some of the big galleries and museums, and how you can explore their collections from the comfort of your home.

The ironic thing is that this is a great opportunity to get to know the real scope of the collections of our local institutions — beyond what’s on the floor and walls when you visit the physical spaces. Spots including the Memorial Art Gallery, George Eastman Museum, and Rochester Museum & Science Center all have vast collections of art and cultural objects that far outnumber what each place could possibly display. Some objects are periodically rotated into the limelight, but many languish in storage for various reasons (including that some are too delicate for display).

The Memorial Art Gallery’s permanent collection of more than 12,000 works of art spans 5,000 years of history. If you’re familiar with the MAG, you know there are dozens of rooms dedicated to different time periods and locations in the world, with contemporary connections dispersed throughout to put different culture’s diasporas and influence in context. By visiting mag. rochester.edu and clicking one of the options under “art” in the drop-down menu, you can virtually explore the whole collection,

including familiar favorites and works you’ve never seen displayed, or learn more about the monumental works in the outdoor Centennial Sculpture Garden.

You can freely search the collection for specific works you’d like to view and learn about, but if you’re at a loss, select the “explore the collection” option. You’ll be offered some organized categories to get you started: favorites, current exhibitions, currently on view (but not part of a featured exhibition), art with Rochester connections, favorite tours, lesson plans for teachers (heads up, new-tohomeschooling parents!), new acquisitions, subjects (such as history and politics, the natural world, or people), time periods, and types of art.

The MAG also has its own YouTube channel (search “MAG Rochester”) featuring past artist interviews and guest lectures, providing hours of educational arts material you may have missed.

George Eastman Museum also has a drop down menu option for its collections on its main page (eastman.org), which will allow

you to freely search for the work of specific artists, subjects, or time periods. You can also check out the holdings (more than 400,000 images from 1839 onward) under the category of photography, which allows you to view the images; or others categories such as moving image, technology, and library, which allow you to learn details about those specific collections.

Also available on the site are a series of videos by the team at Eastman’s Photographic Processes department, which explain, in fascinating art-meets-chemistry nuance, different historic photographic technologies and techniques.

The Rochester Museum & Science Center has an extensive online inventory of its collections (collections.rmsc.org) that includes 1.2 million objects, including the titles and descriptions of its media archives, access to 60,000 documents and 40,000 photographs, and ability to view and learn about more than 800,000 archaeological objects, 26,000 natural specimens, and nearly 30,000 ethnological objects. You could spend weeks poring over the materials and learning about the deep history of our region.

RMSC is also offering remote programming while its doors — and schools — are closed. Its homepage currently offers a link to its “Explore at Home” initiative, which includes sciences activities to do at home and virtual science demos, with more to come.

The Strong (museumofplay.org) also has a collections tab on its site, which is your portal to learn about its holdings in toys and games, video games and electronics, archival collections, and library. If you choose the “online collections” option, you can explore more than 72,000 objects of historic objects for and about play, organized by staff-curated stories, by type of object, by popularity, or by time period. You can also take virtual tours of the museum’s first and second floors, in case you want to visit its kid-sized, un-crowded Wegmans store that’s always fully stocked.

Though Rochester Contemporary Art Center (rochestercontemporary.org) doesn’t have the vast collections that the aforementioned spots have, its website is an excellent playground for exploring past exhibitions (under exhibitions > archive), artists’ talks on video, and past years’ “6x6” submissions that went unsold — which you can still purchase online.

Yup, that’s it (for now) - stay inside and wash your hands.

Thanks for reading.

As area schools closed their doors for the foreseeable future, many families are finding themselves scrambling to sort out what to do with the kiddos. But parents don’t have to face the sometimes overwhelming task of educating and keeping their kids occupied alone.

Debra Ross of KidsOutAndAbout.com shared her advice for parents-turned-teachers: establish a routine, utilize resources or study packets provided by the school, focus on the basics, and try to find the humor in the situation by promoting a “we’re all in this together” mentality.

Although Monroe County libraries are closed, some will be offering curbside pickup for some materials, while others are planning to stream storytimes and other programs online.

E-books and e-audiobooks are also available through libraryweb.overdrive.com, and streaming video content is available through Hoopla for the City of Rochester, Gates and Greece libraries (visit libraryweb.org for more information).

Strong Museum will be hosting daily live story readings on its Facebook page each day at 10:30 a.m., as well as special storytime segments in their Butterfly Garden (facebook.com/ thestrongmuseum). The museum is also encouraging patrons to download the Strong Museum Mobile Guide app (available in the App Store and Google Play), and explore the audio tours and photo filters available through it.

Rochester Museum & Science Ceneter has created a special webpage full of resources for families and children to continue to learn and interact: RMSC.org/openforcuriosity. It will include live science demos posted in the coming weeks, instructions for hands-on science experiments at home, videos of RMSC, daily social media fun facts, highlights from museum collections, and light-hearted science-related content.

Seneca Park Zoo, though closed, will be sharing daily nature- and animal-inspired projects and activities on its Facebook page (facebook.com/senecaparkzoo) that parents and kids can do together. For families with younger kids, Mama Goose on the Loose has taken her interactive sing-alongs online. Armed with her guitar, piano, and a web cam, Meredith Stockman-Broadbent (Mama Goose) is not only hosting Facebook Live videos, but will also be taking requests from families with kids ages newborn to 5 that she usually sees at local libraries and community centers. Her next show will be Thursday, March 19, at 9 a.m. at facebook.com/mamagooseonthelooserochester.

Film Pierce) as they team up to stop a deadly virus from destroying the human (Bill Murray) they live inside.

“Outbreak”: Wolfgang Peterson’s action-thriller centers in a small California town that’s quarantined after becoming ground zero for deadly Ebola-like virus brought to America by an African monkey. I still remember watching this one in theaters as a kid and shrinking down in my seat during the scene that tracks the path of an airborne virus around a movie theater auditorium, trying desperately to stifle my need to cough. It’s an existential terror that’s never quite left me.

“Pontypool”: A radio station disk jockey is stuck broadcasting as a deadly virus spreads through his Ontario town. This Canadian horror flick is a zombie infection film with a fascinating twist: what if a virus was spread not through physical contact but through language?

“Right at Your Door”: This claustrophobic

Movies under quarantine [ ROUNDUP ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

As the world continues to battle a global epidemic, the domestic spread of COVID-19 is affecting our daily lives in ways most of us have never experienced before. Monroe County officially declared a state of emergency over the weekend, and medical experts are urging everyone to practice social distancing by remaining at home as much as possible.

Most local art institutions have closed down at this point, and for the sake of precaution, we’ll all be consuming entertainment from the comfort of our own homes for the foreseeable future. We’ll need to find ways to entertain ourselves, which means many of us are going to be getting our movie fix through streaming services.

Where once the endless viewing options available through a variety of streaming platforms felt like an overwhelming deluge of content, it now seems more like a safety blanket promising hours upon hours of entertainment exactly when we need it. There are any number of places where one could begin, so why not start with a roundup of the type of stories I’ve noticed more and more people turning to on social media: movies about fictional pandemics.

Whether the movies are the more farfetched kind with zombies, or the variety slightly more grounded in reality, it’s no surprise that people are drawn to them.

They’re ultimately stories about people finding ways to carry on in the face of catastrophe.

They allow us to observe how others respond to a similar crisis, and seeing our natural fears formed into a clear-cut narrative arc can be oddly comforting.

We’ve compiled a few film recommendations (plus one non-fiction miniseries) to choose from. And hey, even if such stories only serve to exacerbate your fears, a little paranoia could be good: just the thing to inspire you to stay home, self-isolate and not put others at risk any more than necessary.

If things continue on this current path, I promise to return with some more uplifting recommendations soon enough.

“28 Days Later”: Danny Boyle’s influential

“Contagion”: It’s the pandemic movie that’s been burning up the rental and streaming charts the past few weeks, and with good reason. Steven Soderbergh directs an all-star cast (Gwenyth Paltrow! Matt Damon! Kate Winslet! Jude Law! Laurence Fishburne!) in this terrifying procedural focusing on the various healthcare professionals, government officials, and average citizens who find themselves in the grip of a worldwide epidemic while the CDC works to find a cure.

“12 Monkeys”: If you’re looking for something with a sci-fi bent, you can’t go wrong with Terry Gilliam’s eccentric genre classic, starring Bruce Willis as a convict sent back in time from the year 2035 to prevent a pandemic that will be responsible for wiping out most of the world’s human population.

“Osmosis Jones”: Probably the strangest film here, this comedy blends animation and live-action (Bobby and Peter Farrelly direct the live-action segments, while the animated sequences are directed by Tom Sito and Piet Kroon) as it follows a white blood cell (voiced

by Chris Rock) and a cold pill (David Hyde

horror film picks up after a mysterious, deadly virus known as Rage has ravaged the UK, as a handful of survivors band together to find sanctuary. Since its release viewers have debated whether the film technically qualifies as a zombie movie, but as with many in its genre, the biggest threat to survival turns out to be other humans.

thriller follows a man isolated in his home after a dirty bomb detonates in downtown Los Angeles while his wife is at work. When authorities place the city under quarantine and advise people to seal up their homes, he’s faced with a difficult choice when his wife returns home.

“Train to Busan”: A businessman and his daughter board a train from Seoul to Busan as an epidemic begins tearing through South Korea in this excellent horror-action film. Only time will tell what kind of effect the current coronavirus pandemic will have on the movie industry, but there’s a sequel due out at some point later this year. So, fingers crossed.

“Pandemic: How to Prevent an Outbreak”: Check this one out if you’re hankering for something more fact-based. More reassuring than you might think, this timely six-part documentary mini-series from Netflix follows the capable professionals on the front lines of the battle against influenza and their ongoing efforts to protect the world from the next global outbreak.
