The silence of our white leadership

How many of us are uncomfortable about the recent, damning report that Rochester’s poverty rate is among the highest in the nation? The “Hard Facts” report released in August by ACT Rochester confirms that zoning codes, employment practices, voting laws, criminal justice policies: all of these have helped keep people of color impoverished.

CITY quotes Ed Dougherty, the author of the report, saying that “the racial disparity isn’t accidental. It’s the result of deliberate actions, by individuals, businesses, and more significantly, government. It’s the result of decade after decade of racism, much of it intentional.”

That’s an indictment of us all.

And since the report is meant to “spur action,” I need help. We all need help in order to help. I need a list of actions I can take.

When I was a Rochester City School District educator, I had the privilege of working with professionals of color who taught me great lessons in how to be an equalizer. I learned that the white population’s mistrust of anyone who is different – be it a person of color, of different ability, of gender uniqueness – is prevalent. So what do I do?

As a retiree, I’ve been volunteering at St. Martin’s soup kitchen on Ontario Street off Scio Street. It has been a well-run mission of the Sisters of St. Joseph for more than 35 years. It’s helping me do something, but it doesn’t feel like enough. I go home to my suburban home, where the garbage is picked up along with any litter that dares to deface the area. I have sufficient police protection. I see very few faces of color. And I stay connected with former students from my

career who are working jobs without benefits, raising families in one-bedroom apartments they can barely afford.

The divide is deep. Reaching out across it isn’t that difficult. Yet what more can I do?

Walmart continues to keep employees in poverty.

Once, when I was with a 7-year-old student in a suburban grocery store and I asked him to go pick out the cereal he’d like, he said: “You better come with me. They’ll think I’m trying to steal something.” How did he get to know that at such a young age? How do white people get those attitudes?

I would love a list of ways that we can all do better: individuals, businesses, and most significant, government. I don’t need to be convinced by the “Hard Facts” report, grateful as I am for the information. I don’t need to be on a committee or a task force.

I need the leadership of the Rochester community to remind me what steps I can take to reduce racism.

I need ways to show businesses how they can welcome little boys of color, not make them afraid.

I need specific ways to hold government accountable when disparities are perpetuated by laws that should be changed.

And most of all, I need the silence ended.

Paying for the arts

On Urban Journal’s “Our Quest to Become a ‘City of the Arts’”: My wife and I enjoy going to Geva and the Eastman Theatre to see the RPO a few times every year.

But I don’t agree that we should support the arts with a mandatory 1 percent off the top with any building project in Rochester.

Last week you stated: “Poverty, home ownership, unemployment, student achievement are all worse for people of color.” Isn’t addressing that financially more important than the arts?

You also mention that we need to “create more affordable housing for low-income artists.”

That tells me we have too many artists in this town. Simple supply and demand.

Instead of constantly finding ways to spend other people’s money, how about telling all these artists to treat it as a hobby until they make it big and get a good job. I understand that people become artists for the love of it. But maybe they should think of the financial consequences of going down that path. Get a business degree instead. Then the supply of artists will go down, and those left will be able to flourish.

You also stated: “The arts can’t support themselves. We said for years that we’re a City of the Arts.” Who’s “we”?

And if the arts can’t support themselves, maybe they shouldn’t be here. Just like the Fast Ferry.

Why do people push for things where there isn’t demand to support it? Why doesn’t Wegmans build a store at the end of everyone’s street? It would benefit so many people as each store would be far less crowded, and we could all walk to the store. Supply and demand.

And please don’t compare us to Boston, where there are far more millionaires than there are in Rochester. Also, salaries are 25 to 35 percent higher.

MITCH

“...the life of the arts, far from being an interruption, a distraction, in the life of a nation, is very close to the center of a nation’s purpose – and is a test of the quality of a nation’s civilization.”

– John F. Kennedy, 1962.

John Quincy Adams called on Congress to promote ‘’the cultivation and encouragement of the mechanic and of the elegant arts, the advancement of literature, and the progress of the sciences.’’

George Washington, in his first address to Congress, implored them that “there is nothing which can better deserve your patronage than the promotion of science and literature.’’

The notion of reducing the arts in our society to a mere calculation of supply versus demand is appalling.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

The UR and harassment: learning from the protests There’s so much we don’t know about the latest controversy at the University of Rochester. And if we ever learn the truth, it’s not likely to be soon. But like many other high-profile cases involving sex on college campuses, this one has created an uproar.

What we know right now is that several current and former faculty members in the university’s brain and cognitive science department allege that: 1) Florian Jaeger, a BCS professor, sexually harassed students over several years, and 2) when his actions were brought to the attention of university officials, they failed to act appropriately, siding with Jaeger and retaliating against the faculty members who brought up their concerns.

The faculty members have filed a complaint with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

And when UR President Joel Seligman said the university would investigate its policies but would not reopen its investigation into the complaints about Jaeger, he touched off a good-sized protest and a hunger strike by one student.

Now the university’s board of trustees has appointed a “special committee to oversee an independent, comprehensive investigation into all matters involving the EEOC complaint.” Presumably this means somebody’s going to investigate the whole thing: Jaeger’s actions and the university’s investigation of the complaint about those actions. The investigation will also look at the university’s “processes and procedures related to addressing claims of sexual abuse and harassment.”

That’s what we know. But we don’t know whether Jaeger did what he’s accused of. It’s his word against that of the other UR faculty members and the students who are said to have been harassed. As a result, many people following the controversy are deciding on their own whose story is most plausible.

Predictably, our individual decisions are influenced by our own prejudices.

I have no idea who’s right in this controversy. I don’t have the facts, and neither does anybody except the people involved. But it’s been interesting to hear some men discuss it and express concern for Jaeger and what the controversy and publicity is doing to his career. The male commenters I know are kind, respectful, thoughtful men, and I’ve found myself arguing with them, and wondering why their first voiced concern was for the man, not the women students.

Sexual harassment is an intimidating, often humiliating violation, of our privacy, of our right to determine who we will be intimate with.”

A lot of women – at the university and elsewhere – are reacting differently. Many of us know what harassment feels like.

We’ve learned that to many men, women are objects, things to be gazed at – and commented on – for their own sexual pleasure. It isn’t rape, no. But it is a disturbing, intimidating, often humiliating violation, of our privacy, of our right to determine who we will be intimate with and who we will not. Men can stare at our bodies any time they like, for their sexual gratification, and there’s not a thing we can do about it.

Some women, of course, are not offended by any of that. In fact, I’ve known a few women who welcome it. But many of us feel invaded, violated. There is the sense that men have power over us, even without touching us. And when the man staring at us, and making suggestive remarks, is someone in authority – a supervisor, a teacher – the power is real.

And it’s a strange thing indeed to hear men say we’re being too sensitive if we complain, as though men should not only be able to stare at us but they also should be able to tell us how we should react to their gaze.

Maybe we’ll learn that the university’s handling of this case was correct, after all. But the reaction – especially among UR students, both men and women – shows the depth of concern about sexual harassment, and the recognition that harassment is not a trivial issue. It can cause real harm. And the women who complain about it – or submit in silence – are not overly sensitive little flowers. rochestercitynewspaper.com

County plans to buy city office building

Lead numbers drop slightly

Monroe County had 924 new cases of children with elevated levels of lead in the blood, which was a slight decrease from 988 in 2015, according to data released by the Monroe County Health Department and the Coalition to Prevent Lead Poisoning.

New cases of child lead poisoning have dropped by 67 percent countywide and 80 percent in the city over the past decade, due largely to several community efforts. But representatives from the organizations said that while the numbers show progress, efforts to reduce child lead exposure must continue.

Several county departments are located in City Place at 50 West Main Street, which the county plans to buy.

PSST. Unlike Godot, we won't keep you waiting.

Always fresh theater content.

Monroe County has for many years used the City Place building at 50 West Main Street as an extension of its government offices. Several of its departments, from environmental services to probation, are located in the complex. The county clerk’s downtown DMV services operate out of its lobby, too.

But the county doesn’t own City Place. It leases the building and adjacent parking lots from Michael Spoleta Jr. and David Spoleta, the principals of Spoleta Construction, for approximately $1.7 million a year.

That lease is up in 2018, however, and the county wants to buy City Place and the three adjacent parking lots from the Spoletas.

County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo is asking the County Legislature to authorize $10 million in financing for the purchase and an additional $2.4 million for renovations to the property.

The “fiscally-responsible, forwardthinking move” should save the county

$1.25 million a year, says county spokesperson Jesse Sleezer.

The purchase will, however, take the property off city tax rolls, though not entirely. The properties had tax bills totaling roughly $300,000 this year, according to city records. The county pays those taxes under the terms of its lease, and administration officials estimate the obligation will drop to $75,000 post-purchase.

County Clerk Adam Bello proposed opening a full-time Department of Motor Vehicles office at City Place as part of the 2017 county budget. Legislature Republicans sank the plan after raising questions about its finances and whether the county could make alterations to a building it didn’t own. The office would have required some minor construction.

Sleezer says the purchase and renovations have nothing to do with the DMV office.

There was a time in life when police were given the benefit of the doubt. That’s not the case now and that has nothing to do with the CRB (Civilian Review Board). That has to do with their actions when they’re policing. [ CITY COUNCIL, ADAM MCFADDEN ]

CRIMINAL JUSTICE | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Council wades into police oversight City Council agreed in a meeting last week that improvements to the Civilian Review Board are needed, and Council wants those changes in place by July 1, 2018.

“The Civilian Review Board in its current state lacks community trust, and the Council knows that this is a problem,” Council President Loretta Scott said in a written statement earlier this week.

“The Council is committed to making the needed changes and reforms to bring increased transparency and improve this process as a whole.”

Council’s concern about the Review Board was spurred by charges of alleged police abuse of teenager Rickey Bryant Jr. Council issued a subpoena earlier this year to obtain information and video footage from the Rochester Police Department regarding the incident.

Council members have reviewed information about the handling of the Bryant case, but as Scott said in her statement, state law “prohibits disclosure of the personnel records of police officers,” so Council won’t comment further on that review.

Bryant alleges he was thrown off of his bike and beaten by police officers who were responding to a call on August 8, 2016. Though Bryant wasn’t arrested, the encounter left him with multiple

injuries. Bryant’s mother filed a complaint with the Civilian Review Board and a lawsuit in Federal District Court alleging that the RPD officers violated her son’s constitutional rights.

But Rochester Police Chief Michael Ciminelli, who has the final say in the CRB process, cleared the officers involved of any misconduct.

“In the case of Rickey Bryant, you have an innocent kid who was doing nothing but riding a bike,” City Council member Adam McFadden said in a phone interview prior to Council’s meeting last week.

“That’s all it was. For some reason, he was mistaken for somebody who had a gun.”

McFadden said he found some discrepancies in what police reported and the information and video footage Council obtained. Bryant didn’t fit the description of the individual described in the call to police, McFadden said.

Council also hired the Center for Governmental Research to provide an independent analysis of the Civilian Review Board’s process, how other municipalities handle complaints about police misconduct, and to make a recommendation to Council. In her statement, Scott said the report will be made public once it has been finalized.

“I think we have to look at this situation as what I would call a test case for possibly making changes to the Civilian Review Board process,” McFadden says. There is a lack of trust and credibility in the CRB’s ability to hold anyone accountable, McFadden said.

But McFadden said he doesn’t believe that only the CRB process needs to change.

“There was a time in life when police were given the benefit of the doubt,” he said. “That’s not the case now, and that has nothing to do with the CRB. That has to do with their actions when they’re policing.”

Creating schools of the future During the last few years there has been a national discussion about the schools of the future: how they might look, what roles will technology play, and how teachers will teach. High school students in the Rochester City School District will soon enter this discussion.

About 425 Rochester high school students will gather at School of the Arts on Friday afternoon to share their ideas for creating the model city high schools of the future. Each district high school is sending a group of about 30 student volunteers, who will brainstorm on topics such as how to make school more stimulating, or how schools should be structured.

The event is intended to give students a voice in the design process for Phase 3 of the schools modernization program.

Looking forward, schools may be viewed more as community spaces than stand-alone buildings, says Donald Starver, spokesperson for the district. And some students may want opportunities out in the community that are aligned with their career paths, such as internships. A student interested in a career in health care, for instance, may spend part of the day in a local hospital, Starver says.

ROC Game Devs participating at a recent game jam, working on new games that will be showcased at the Rochester Game Festival on September 30. PHOTO BY KURT INDOVINA CULTURE | BY KURT INDOVINA

ROC Game Devs want to change the city The hum of computer fans echoes in the open, white-concrete structure of RIT’s MAGIC Center. People sit in small groups at long white tables scattered around the room, hunched over glowing laptop screens, sketchbooks, and greasy paper plates.

There are maybe 30 of them – some in their late teens, a few possibly late 40’s – clacking away on their keyboards, drawing on tablets, and talking among themselves.

Some are wearing headphones and are working in their own world. Others huddle together over a single screen, watching intently as one fiddles his thumbs on an Xbox 360 controller.

This is a game jam, where game developers of all skill levels, including novices, make a game in just a few days.

On this day, the games have a Rochesterculture theme. One has players delivering garbage plates to various locations around the city. Another has players assume the role of street artists covering the abandoned subway station walls with graffiti. Together, this group of people are the ROC Game Dev Community, a collective of more than 30 local artists, programmers, animators, and designers – students, employed game developers, hobbyists.

Video game development is thought of as something you need a college degree for, something that happens only in the tech cities of the Bay area. And, in fact, most professional game development is done in the Bay area. But many of the people doing it start right here in Rochester, and then leave for the West Coast.

The ROC Game Dev community aims to change that story and keep the development here.

6 CITY

SEPTEMBER 27 - OCTOBER 3, 2017

Its participants meet together once a month at RIT’s MAGIC Center to share their games, what they’re working on, and what they’ve learned. Sometimes the space is treated as a co-work space, where developers take their laptops, sketchbooks, and drawing tablets to work on their own game while still being in the company of other devs. They also get the opportunity to present workshops and lectures ranging from game design to how to use Twitter to promote your game. All of it’s free and open to the public.

Rob Mostyn, co-founder of the ROC Game Dev community, started developing his own game, “A Small Robot Story,” nearly two years ago. His degrees were in psychology and graphic design, but he caught the development bug after doing the soundtrack for a game by local artist and indie dev, Pete Lazarski.

Lazarski’s game, “Halloween Forever,” about a jack o’lantern that defeats evil creatures by vomiting candy corn at them, is stylized but it’s visually simplistic, and Mostyn, who is also an artist, was inspired to try developing his own game.

Other than Lazarski, though, Mostyn didn’t know anyone in Rochester who was developing video games, so he started reaching out on online forums such as Reddit and Facebook to find other local aspiring game devs.

“The first ‘unofficial’ ROC Game Dev meetup was just me and Peter Lazarski grabbing coffee and talking game development back in the summer of 2015,” Mostyn says. “After two to three hours of chatting, we agreed that a monthly meetup would be cool.”

Eventually a few more people began joining them. They would talk about game

development, play one another’s prototypes, and exchange feedback. As the group began to expand to close to 10 people, they shifted to meeting up at the Irondequoit public library. At the time, participants were still mostly game development hobbyists.

Mostyn and Lazarski decided to exhibit their games at the Rochester Mini Maker Faire (a showcase for artists and creators to share their work with the public), where they met Wes Rockholz, who at the time was a student in RIT’s game design and development program.

Rockholz had been seeking an outlet to collaborate and share games outside of a school environment, and he joined the ROC Game Dev meetups.

“When I was at RIT as a student, before I was an indie, all I wanted do was to be in a group of people who made games,” Rockholz says. Most of his fellow students had no interest in making their own games outside of class, though. The ROC Game Dev group was the outlet he was searching for.

Rockholz was the first RIT student to join the ROC Game Dev meetups, but that led to an increased number of students showing up. As attendance rose, the ROC Game Dev group needed more space, closer to RIT students. So Rockholz put Mostyn in contact with the MAGIC Center.

“We found that we shared common goals, and they offered use of their space,” Mostyn says. Soon 12 to 25 people were consistently attending the meetings. More RIT students were participating too, and not all of them were pursuing a degree in game design.

Tiffany McFarlane, for instance, was earning her degree in film and animation but wanted to learn about game development.

She had joined RIT’s Game Design & Development Facebook Group, and there, she says, “I saw mentions of the group, and I started showing up for meetings.”

When the ROC Game Devs aren’t all physically present at the MAGIC Center, they’re in constant communication via Discord, a chatting app geared specifically toward gaming. Through it, they continue to discuss ideas, talk about what they’re playing, ask for advice, or are just engage in conversation.

The game dev community is just a part of a fledgling industry that includes RIT, the Strong International Museum of Play, and local professional game development companies. As the industry grows and a community expands, the potential benefits for Rochester and all of Upstate New York grow as well. The game industry and the community that surrounds it could be what the city needs to partially counteract its brain drain.

“RIT is a massive powerhouse that produces some of the best students in the US and internationally, especially

Rob Mostyn, co-founder of the ROC Game Dev community. PHOTO BY KURT INDOVINA

for game design and development,” Tiffany MacFarlane says. “So having an immediate area where those students can work, fulfill their co-ops, and ultimately stay will help revitalize Rochester. We have the potential to create a powerful and long-lasting industry here through video games.”

MacFarlane currently works for Second Avenue Learning, an established game development studio that recently relocated downtown in Tower 280 and employs several RIT alumni. Another growing Rochester studio is Workinman, which is mostly focused on creating licensed games for Nickelodeon, Fisher Price, and others but has slowly shifted toward creating original games such as “Death State” (currently available on Playstation 4 and PC).

Through ROC Game Dev’s affiliation with MAGIC Center, Mostyn acquired the position of RIT’s digital gaming hub coordinator, focused on building the community of game developers in Rochester and supporting and contributing to the economic development of the digital game industry.

Mostyn is currently organizing the Made in Rochester Game Festival, a showcase of video games and tabletop games developed in the Rochester area.

That event takes place on September 30 at the Irondequoit Public Library, and it’s free and open to the public. More information on the festival is available at rocgamefest.com.

WHERE ARE THE WOMEN? Social pressures, family needs, and lots more still keep women out of politics

POLITICS | BY TIANNA MAÑÓN

The number of American women serving in political office is nowhere near where it should be – and that number may actually be declining in some legislatures and executive offices.

“The United States is falling behind on women’s representation in government,” Sarah Kliff and Soo Oh write in Vox. “We have not experienced the influx of female legislators into our political system in the way dozens of other countries have.”

In the House of Representatives, women make up 19 percent of the seats and in the Senate just 21 percent. Women of color are even further behind. Of the 535 members of Congress, just 7 percent are women of color.

Currently, only one governor is a woman of color: Susana Martinez, the Republican governor of New Mexico.

There have been gains, of course. Since 1971, women in state legislatures have quintupled, and the number of female executives, including mayors like Rochester’s Lovely Warren, has also grown, according to American politics research group Catalyst.

The City of Rochester, in fact, has quite a few women officials, in addition to Warren. Five of the nine members of City Council – including its president – and four of the seven school board members are women. The county executive and the district attorney are women.

But a woman has never served as governor of New York, and only 14 of the 63 members of the State Senate and 45 of the 150 members of the Assembly are women.

Compared with other nations, the US is 101st in female representation in public office, behind nations like Afghanistan and China.

Two decades ago, we were at 52nd.

Yet 51 percent of Americans are women.

With that majority, there should be more women in office. So what gives?

Traditionally, discussion about that topic has focused on overt sexism, that voters are consciously deciding to not vote for women. However, research and the experience of women politicians themselves indicate that social pressures may be a more significant factor.

In fact, some studies say that when women run for office, they’re actually about as likely as men to win. The problem, some researchers say, seems to be that women simply aren’t running in the first place.

Why, then, are women choosing to stay out

of politics? The answer seems to come down to this: The social pressures and expectations that women face in daily life are even harsher in politics, which is an intensely demanding sphere that depends on constant civic service.

“There’s nothing sexy about working in politics,” jokes Nicole Hushla Re, executive director for the local chapter of WomenElect.

Her organization encourages women to run for office and uses workshops and programming to teach candidates important skills like fundraising, networking, and interacting with the press.

Re is a member of the Irondequoit Town Board, and she says she probably wouldn’t consider running for a higher office.

Rochester City Council president Loretta Scott: “I don’t know whether women have a full understanding of what they are able to do.” FILE PHOTO

“I’ve worked on many congressional races,” she says, “and even if you are just a junior staffer for a member of Congress, you’re working 12- to 14-hour days, sometimes more. And so you know pretty early on what the candidate goes through. For right now, I’m personally in a place where I value my free time.”

Also a factor: in raising a family, women are often still expected to do the heavy lifting.

From the biological challenges of pregnancy to being expected to be the parent who takes time off for children’s sick days and doctor’s appointments, the private-sphere demands on women can really add up.

“When you run for office, it can suck up a lot of your life,” says Jamie Romeo, chair of the Monroe County Democratic Committee. “You’re running for a part-time seat, but running for office is still largely a full-time job.” rochestercitynewspaper.com

Mary Lupien, who was a City Council candidate in the September 7 Democratic Primary, says she had to force herself to stop obsessing over things at home when she was campaigning.

“I had to let go,” she says, describing how micromanaging both spheres was exhausting and was driving her crazy. Society and women themselves feed the unrealistic expectations, she adds. For many women, being able to handle it all is part of their identity.

“I think it’s ingrained,” Lupien says.

And, she says: “It’s like we’re almost reluctant to let go of, because it’s been part of our identity for so long.”

Even when women don’t want to take on roles both inside and outside the family, Lupien says, women can be “guilted into thinking they have to take them on fully,” especially by other women.

Louise Slaughter, now a senior member of Congress, says that when she first entered politics running for a seat in the Monroe County Legislature, people worried that her campaign could jeopardize the care of her high-school-aged children.

“Everybody wanted to know what would happen to my children,” says Slaughter. “If I went downtown one night every three weeks, and if I said I’d leave them with their father, that wasn’t good enough. I promised to

cook dinner before I left. People were really worried about them.”

Rochester City Council President Loretta Scott is typical of the many women who postpone running for office until their children are grown. “Sometimes people want to meet at 7:30 and 8 a.m.,” she says.

“How can you do that if you have to get your children ready for school?”

These small needs from the private sphere add up, Scott says, meaning that women often have a more restricted schedule, impacting their ability to reach voters and spread their message.

WomenElect offered childcare for women who participated in their program, and while no one needed to take advantage of the service, “it’s these kinds of things that help women,” says Re. There’s no point in encouraging voters to embrace women, if women are unable to run in the first place.

Re also points to issues of femininity

and masculinity in politics. Traits that are traditionally those of women are often looked down upon, she says. Women, for instance, are more likely to be seen as compromising, quicker to listen than to speak, and more hesitant to boast or brag or seem authoritative, and WomenElect targets those traits in its program.

“If you’re not going to represent yourself, who will?” she says.

SUNY Brockport political science professor Dena Levy agrees that perceptions about “masculine” and “feminine” traits

impact women candidates, and she uses compromise as an example. “Compromise has become very bad,” she says.

“Women have a much more collegial style, and I think that’s often seen as weak as opposed to a strength,” says Levy. And when a woman embodies a characteristic like strength, says Levy, “she is actually then considered something not very nice. It rhymes with witch.”

“Women walk a fine line,” says Levy.

“How do you be aggressive, look like you’re doing your job but not to the point that people think you’re too aggressive?”

“And then you get into voice,” says Levy. “’They sound shrill.’ Have you ever heard a man called ‘shrill’? We never call men ‘shrill.’”

“We raise little boys to be assertive and go in search of what they want, and little girls to be polite and wait until they’re asked,” says City Council member Carolee Conklin. “We do so many things from the day they’re born to assign them these ‘male, female’ roles.”

“I don’t think we have to lose our feminine traits to be effective participants in that arena,” says Loretta Scott. “If we hold our ground and they look at us as equal participants even if we don’t look or behave like them, then we have progress. But if we succumb, they’ll never make progress for seeing people in an equal light.”

“This whole ‘equality’ thing makes men squeamish,” says Scott. “We’re going to help you get used to it.”

Conklin agrees. Over coffee at Spot, she gestures to her pink cardigan, the heavy necklace around her neck with pink jewels, and says: “I’ll wear pink and still tell you to go fuck yourself.”

Adds Jamie Romeo: If a woman has a strong sense of self and is confident when she walks into a room, “that doesn’t mean you have a masculine presence. It means you have a strong presence.”

Still, argues Louise Slaughter, “it’s not easy for women to win,” because of pure sexism.

“Women have to know more,” says Slaughter. “I remember running when women would vote for me but their husbands wouldn’t. I’ve been through the whole nine yards of it, I think, but it’s tough to run for office.”

“Every woman will tell you the same story,” Slaughter says. “It’s not just politics.

We’ve been talking about it a lot lately. Let’s say you’re the only woman on a board of directors, and you’re having a meeting because something critical is going on.

“All of the men attack the issues, and they all talk about it, but then the woman speaks. And there is a dance, a dynamic that takes place. They start looking at their phones or off into space, kind of daydreaming. You know they’re saying, ‘Let’s let her speak, and then we’ll talk when she’s finished.’”

“I don’t know any women who haven’t experienced this,” says Slaughter, “and it’s much of the same in politics.”

“Why don’t more women run for office?

Because it sucks” reads the headline for writer Raina Lipsitz’s recent Glamour magazine article.

“After years in the field,” writes Lipsitz, a former legislative director for a state assemblywoman, “I can say that yes, some of the reasons women don’t run are related to their lack of confidence, as well as discomfort on the part of both candidates and voters with female ambition. But the biggest is the reason most people don’t want to run for office: because it’s awful, especially in a system as corrupt and compromising as ours.”

“I think you don’t see some of the literature we see on the campaign trail,” says Nicole Hushla Re. “Just completely inappropriate in terms of putting out really unflattering pictures of women. That’s a huge thing covered in social media. And things about their personal life and past. There was a sense of propriety that there isn’t now.”

There’s nastiness on both sides, says Jamie Romeo, regardless of gender. And while Romeo says she doesn’t know why women may be more susceptible to the damage, she said she believes it has a lot to do with women being more sensitive to the needs of those around them.

“I think women are more hesitant,” she says. “I think the negative perspective around campaigning keeps more women out of running for office. Not necessarily because they’re just thinking of the personal attack, but a lot of times, it’s family, where they’re thinking more about ‘What if my kids see this? What if my spouse, my friends? Is that going to change their perspective on me?’”

And Loretta Scott cites another factor dissuading women from entering politics: Not seeing women in office can be demotivating.

“They don’t see people that look like them,” she says. “And it pushes your thinking along a negative path: ‘If they’re not there, maybe it’s because they can’t do that stuff. Not supposed to do that job. They don’t fit.’ You start all these negative things and don’t go for it.”

“When I say I think part of the problem is some of us,” says Scott, “it’s that old syndrome of how we stereotype even ourselves.”

“I don’t know whether women have a full understanding of what they are able to do in that regard,” says Scott. “I don’t think women think of themselves that way. I didn’t. When it comes to nontraditional occupations, we used to think about things like truckers, carpentry, trades. But realistically, on some levels being a politician is a nontraditional occupation, so the same reservations and self-deselecting for those nontraditional jobs apply to politics.”

Yet local offices often do have a better representation of women.

That’s certainly true locally, and that could be encouraging.

“These are the stepping stones to those offices,” says Levy, and she adds that women typically pick local offices for obvious Democratic Party chair Jamie Romeo: “When you run for office, it can suck up a lot of your life.” PHOTO BY RYAN WILLIAMSON reasons.

Dining & Nightlife Quick bites

Serving spirit [ CHOW HOUND ] BY KATIE LIBBY

Rochester has an intriguing spooky side.

You’ve probably heard the stories about the Lady in White, the haunted stacks of the Rundel Memorial Library, or the Fox Sisters.

The partners behind The Spirit Room (139 State Street) are interested in the spiritual side of Rochester lore and have created a space downtown that celebrates it. “We wanted to pay Rochester the homage it deserves,” says Luc Thiers, who is one of the partners and also serving drinks behind the bar.

The Spirit Room is a partnership between poets Rachel McKibbens and Jacob Rakovan, Thiers, Emily Rose Kahn-Sheahan, and Bouty Chanthavisinh. McKibbens and Rakovan have hosted Poetry & Pie, a monthly poetry showcase and potluck, at their residence for the last six years and will be moving it to The Spirit Room. You may also know Rakovan from his position behind the bar at The Daily Refresher.

The State Street space used to house Tajze Wine and R&B Lounge, and significant renovations have been made (with a lot of help from friends), including installing a new copper-top for the bar. The décor features items that McKibbens and Rakovan have

collected over the years — old photographs line the walls, seating areas are filled with antique furniture — it definitely evokes another era. Some of the drinks are served in tea cups and mugs, harkening back to the speakeasies of the prohibition era. There is also a “Wall of Spirits” where patrons can place photographs of departed loved ones as a way of paying tribute.

The Spirit Room will be serving Southern comfort food, with menu items like shrimp and grits, gumbo, and Po’ Boys. Thiers used to cook in New Orleans, and Rakovan is from Appalachia. The bar program is a mash-up of styles from Rakovan and Thiers. “Jacob is well-versed in the classics, while I tend to favor more fruity drinks with too many ingredients,” says Thiers.

The current featured cocktail is the Bitter Apparition ($10), a combination of gin, egg white, lime, and Pimento Dram (which has an allspice flavor). The cocktail is finished by spraying black walnut bitters over the stencil of an eye. A limited beer and wine selection is also available, including Genny. Glen Edith cold brew is on draft and The Spirit Room will be significantly expanding the coffee and tea program going forward.

Bartender and business partner Luc Thiers.

The main function of the space, however, is to promote inclusion and hospitality. “We want to make sure people from all walks of life have a place here,” Thiers says. Whether that takes the form of poetry readings, impromptu jam sessions, performance art, or just having a drink at the bar.

The Spirit Room is located at 139 State Street, and is open Wednesday through Sunday from 6 p.m. to 12 a.m. There is street parking as well as a parking lot behind the building that is available after 5 p.m. facebook.com/TheSpiritRoomRochester.

for hard and heavy in all of us. With a sludgy undertone and a mid-tempo groove that adds to the skull crush, Torche is an unrelenting sonic menace. Their videos are disturbing to say the least.

Majority Rule THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28 BUG JAR, 219 MONROE AVENUE 8:30 P.M. | $10 | BUGJAR.COM; MAJRULE.COM [ PUNK ] Majority Rule hadn’t been a band for about 13

years when it announced a reunion tour earlier this year.

And Rochester — not Buffalo or Syracuse — is one of the lucky cities where the DC hardcore group is making a stop.

The three-piece had a pretty good following in Rochester, and it played here a few times throughout its active years in the late-90’s and early-00’s, including shows in a park lodge, an American Legion hall, and an RIT student’s apartment.

The tight spaces made the band’s churning, jagged, and relentless songs extra intense. (“The Sin in Grey” off of 2001’s “Interviews with David Frost” is, arguably, a great example of the band’s sound; just imagine it much louder in person.)

Majority Rule plays with Druse, Innerout, and Space Grazer.

The project’s mastermind, Rachel Gagliardi, cut her teeth in the fantastic band Slutever before distilling her inspirations down to a fine point for Pouty. The band’s latest release, “Saint Mary of the Moods,” is a concise and powerful offering of power pop craftsmanship.

THANK YOU CITY NEWSPAPER READERS FOR NOMINATING AND VOTING FOR THE DISTILLERY IN THE

Spanish Guitar with Daniel King. Ox and Stone, 282

This is what you get when you put a great band and even greater material in the same room together and hit “record.” Relatively young (established in 2013) Rochester band New City Slang’s eponymous album is a sloppy — the good kind of sloppy — sleazy, 12-song collection of guitardriven slash, bang, and twang.

You need to listen to this record front to back, and take it in as a whole body of work. Because then, you’ll have surprise moments, like the Heartbreakers-esque bop on “Johnny Johnny.”

The song serves as a pleasant warm-up to the poppy cut “Cross The Line,” which might strike you as a Replacements send-up. The same goes for the next track, “Frankie Lane.”

It’s all this familiarity within the confines of the context that’ll draw you in and launch you toward the fierce originality that keeps your attention. New City Slang may dig the view in the rearview, but this album is happening today.

New City Slang will play a release show on Friday, September 29, at Photo City Improv, 543 Atlantic Avenue. 9 p.m. $5. facebook.com/photocityimprovcomedyclub.

Gabriel Alegria Afro-Peruvian Sextet “Diablo en Brooklyn” Saponegro Records afroperuviansextet.com

It may be titled “Diablo en Brooklyn,” but the sixth album by Gabriel Alegria Afro-Peruvian Sextet is the group’s first CD recorded entirely in Peru. The title alludes to Alegria bringing the “Son de Los Diablos” tradition from his native country to his current home in Coney Island. The group, which delighted audiences at last summer’s Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival, features trumpeter Alegria with saxophonist Laura Andrea Leguía, percussionist Freddy “Huevito” Lobatón, bassist Mario Cuba, drummer Hugo Alcázar, and guitarist Yuri Juárez. All are superb instrumentalists.

“Diablo en Brooklyn,” consisting of live performances interspersed between movements of Alegria’s “The Brooklyn Suite,” is so full of spontaneous energy, you may feel like you are in the club with the musicians. On a typical cut, the horns effortlessly interweave over the complex polyrhythms provided by Lobatón and Alcázar.

Among the live performances is a highly original rendition of George Gershwin’s “Summertime” filtered through an Afro-Peruvian sensibility. The sextet has grown together over the last decade and emerged a tight unit with a unique sound.

Thursday, September 28

Ben Burdett: Jake sort of works out the main structures and sends out a demo that we all use to get a feel for the song.

JT Fitzgerald: It’s pretty loose. Once we get in the practice room, everything’s open to change.

When you were coming up with a name for the band, what were some of the other options besides Total Yuppies?

Walsh: This was the only one. The band name

existed long before the band did. I was getting a haircut one day when I was living over on Oxford Street in the Park Avenue area, and this salty old woman was cutting my hair. She was a very proud racist and didn’t like a lot of stuff. When she found out where I lived she said, “Aw, that’s just a bunch of fucking yuppies over there.” And I was like, “That’s what I’m gonna name a band when I get one.”

These Yuppies care Total Yuppies WITH PETITE LEAGUE, CICADA, AND SORRY BUDS SUNDAY, OCTOBER 1 SMALL WORLD BOOKS, 425 NORTH STREET 7 P.M. | FACEBOOK.COM/SMALLWORLDBOOKS; TOTALYUPPIES.BANDCAMP.COM [ FEATURE ] BY FRANK DE BLASE

How can a band be introspective and yet so un-self-aware? How can that band come out on top in the “Is it punk?” argument? How does the band eliminate the line between fan and band? Easily, if that band is full of Total Yuppies.

Total Yuppies is more or less a punk outfit that came to be in October 2015.

And where the punk label may apply to the band’s vociferous and frenetic stage show, Total Yuppies tries and succeeds to scramble thoughtful lyrics with humor and sincerity.

The band — Jake Walsh on guitar, vocals; Ben Burdett, guitar; JT Fitzgerald, bass; and Dylan Vaisey, drums (who had a prior engagement and couldn’t make the interview) — has just released its second EP, “Care,” and stopped by the CITY offices to discuss it along with irony, self-hating, and just being nice, tame boys. An edited transcript of the conversation follows.

CITY: What makes Total Yuppies unique in

the Rochester music scene?

Jake Walsh: That’s a very good question.

I know.

Walsh: One thing that comes to me: I feel

like we’re punk without being punk. We’re into hardcore music and punk music and kind of what the punk ethos is about without being wildly aggressive. And we’re also trying to make something that’s very genuine and emotional that connects with people.

So you give a shit?

Walsh: Yeah, I do. I think we all do. I think

we can be flippant because we care so much.

Like our new EP is called “Care” because it’s a conscious choice to give a shit about things other people may kind of brush off or look the other way on. And I think we’re pretty in touch with our emotions and don’t want to be rock ‘n’ roll Neanderthals.

You come off somewhat ironic.

Walsh: Yeah, and there are some clichés we wear

on purpose and hope the irony comes out as a playful irony, not a “fuck you” irony, not a cynical irony. I’d like to think we’re pretty nice, tame boys, but we also like to play loud, and I yell a lot onstage and move around. There’s a lot of punk and raw energy in it because it’s a release; it’s super-cathartic for us. And at the same time we’re actively trying to not make anyone feel uncomfortable or hurt people. We’re not a very in-your-face band.

How do Total Yuppies write?

16 CITY SEPTEMBER 27 - OCTOBER 3, 2017

What do you prefer to play: house concerts or clubs?

Fitzgerald: House parties are more fun but

way more exhausting. We just played a house party in Syracuse to like 250 kids and it was a drain. They were screaming at us for an encore and we were only the second band. It was just awesome.

It sort of blurs the line between band and fan.

Walsh: We get who likes us. It’s like an

agreement. It’s always said, “There’s no stage at a house show,” so it’s much more of a communal experience and that’s super-true for us.

What’s something fans may get wrong about you?

Walsh: I think we get put on a lot of emo

bills because our songs are about emotional stuff, dealing with anxiety — and it’s an OK fit sometimes. I think we fit better on a punk show as a loud and fast band.

Burdett: We’ve also been called slacker rock a few times, which I don’t really love.

What constitutes a good Total Yuppies show?

Walsh: I tend to be pretty self-hating, so I

immediately judge the show based on how I feel I played. But if there are people moving around, that’s fun. We always have fun playing shows.

Fitzgerald: Even if we fuck up a few notes, the energy is still there.

Who will play each of you in the Total Yuppies made for TV movie?

Walsh: I’ve been told I’m very similar to Jesse

Eisenberg. Ben would be played by Tom Cruise; JT would be played by Keanu Reeves; and Dylan would play himself… or Matt LeBlanc.

BLUES | CHARLIE PARR With his long hair, flannel shirt, and wire-rim glasses, you might mistake Charlie Parr for a throwback to the 1960’s.

But when he starts fingerpicking his 12-string acoustic or sliding up and down the fret board of his steel guitar, you realize he’s a throwback to the 20’s. Excavating treasures and singing originals, he’s a roots player’s roots player, channeling Leadbelly, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Woody Guthrie, and the other greats who once roamed the land.

Fringe to expand and evolve his work with spacial sound design only enhanced the experience.

I don’t just want to see this show again, I kind of wish that igloo was a permanent downtown fixture all year long.

— BY ADAM LUBITOW “Anatomy of a Black Man”

Plasticiens Volants staged its show "Big Bang" at Parcel 5 during Friday and Saturday on the Fringe.

I’m looking forward to my next opportunity to check out More Than Rebel Noise, a duo of poets who presented the original piece “Anatomy of a Black Man” at MuCCC. The audience for the Fringe show was mostly black, and I’d like to see that expand, because white people need to hear the experiences of black men in America from black men themselves — and specifically from black men who are their neighbors.

The show blended skits and spoken word poetry, with philosophy spat at a rapid clip by Anderson Allen (Poetically Undefined) and Shaquille Payne (AOR). They began writing the material for this show after experiencing Rochester’s disappointing reaction to the Black Lives Matter march of July 2016.

Despite the righteous anger, the pain that is often endured alone, and the hardships that so many people refuse to acknowledge, the men promote an overall message of finding an undefeated capacity to love.

“Come As You Are”

Fringe 2017: What we want to see again

One of the many reasons that I love the Fringe is that it provides a forum for artists to perform works that may not be embraced by the mainstream art community, and it brings in an audience for stories to be shared with. For this reason, “Come As You Are,” at the Lyric Theatre, was my favorite performance. The stories these women told about identity issues were incredibly personal and vulnerable, and it created a sense of intimacy and camaraderie within the crowd — especially at the end when audience members who had nothing to do with the show came up on stage and shared one of their own stories. We read stories on a Twitter feed or Facebook timeline, or we listen to them on a podcast, but “Come As You Are” gave an opportunity to look someone in the eye and actually hear them.

That’s what made this so special.

[ RECAP ]

The KeyBank Rochester Fringe Festival, which wrapped its sixth year on Saturday, was a 10-day rush of arts overload. With around 500 performances, tens of thousands of people came through downtown Rochester for dance, theater, music, visual arts, and multi-disciplinary performances — and some shows that just can’t be easily classified.

But the Fringe isn’t contained to a few days in September. Some shows had their premiere at Fringe and were tested out in front of an audience; there’s a strong possibility that you’ll see familiar titles and companies pop up in Rochester again in the future. And there are other performances that, while they might not be brand new, offer a glimpse at the unique works Rochester’s arts community can support.

CITY’s writers saw nearly 60 shows during the 2017 Rochester Fringe Festival, and we had a few favorites that we hope

to see again, either on a random Saturday during the year, or back at the Fringe. Is there something you’d like to see again?

Leave a comment below this article online at rochestercitynewspaper.com.

3D Sound Experience in the Immersive Igloo

The most unique experience I had at Fringe this year came in the form of an Immersive Igloo — the 40-foot wide, 20-foot tall inflatable structure housed inside the Spiegelgarden — where for 50 minutes, I let the soothing colored lights and ambient electronic musical soundscapes of sound artist (and Rochester native) Tom Montagliano wash over me. I came out the other side feeling relaxed, refreshed, and with a mind that felt significantly less cluttered. The $16 ticket seemed a small price to pay for that sensation, especially after a long day of festival-going. Plus, talking afterward with Montagliano about what went into the creation of the show, and the ways he hopes

Murder Mystery at the Central Library

New to this year’s Fringe was the fully interactive Murder Mystery at the Central Library. Judging by the crowd of about 100 people, I’m not the only one in town who watches an episode of “Law and Order” or plays Clue and is dying to figure out whodunit before it’s all over.

The event was well organized, but not without its flaws: I think those behind it may have underestimated its popularity, and the sleuthing might have been easier if there were several sets of each station. But the organizers were able to get people to think without making it feel like work. And for many, that’s a refreshing change of pace from the fastpaced goofiness that is the rest of the Fringe.

— BY KATHY LALUK Pinch and Squeal

Cleveland slapstick and musical duo Pinch and Squeal embody the sort of Tin Pan Alley, lo-brow hi-jinx I love. They were clearly one of my favorites. Not only would I like to see their non-PC, onstage, whoopee-in-aparty-dress again, but let’s corral others that embrace that forgotten age of vaudeville, which took social mores and troubled times and twisted them with laughter. Puddles the Clown comes to mind, and so does Baby Gramps. Or for a darker slant, how about someone like noir storyteller Lee Harvey Osmond? Let’s see a sword-swallower with the hiccups; let’s see a man wrestle a bear or a genuine snake charmer. Let’s sprinkle in some oddities. And who says it’s gotta happen exclusively at the Fringe? There are plenty of venues and performers in Rochester with their freak flag flying year-round.

— BY FRANK DE BLASE Plasticiens Volants’ “Big Bang”

Plasticiens Volants’ two performances of “Big Bang” at Parcel 5 were successful for reasons well beyond just being a fantastic spectacle. The best shows at the Rochester Fringe Festival have been the ones that created their own reality around the audience — Circus Orange’s fire-y, surrealist stroll around Martin Luther King Jr. Park in 2014 is another grand example. And for 45 minutes each day of Friday and Saturday on the Fringe, Plasticiens Volants made thousands of people forget they were standing in the middle of downtown Rochester.

With massive inflatables of strange planets, giant eyeballs, squirming spermatozoa, and transforming monsters moving above the crowd — and sometimes coming close enough for kids to reach up and touch — the French street theater company transported us into the void and made us gaping witnesses to the creation happening all around. Audiences can get so accustomed to watching a performance on stage, or looking at works with “Do not touch” signs pasted on the wall, that we forget that great art should sometimes be directly engaged with. By bringing in shows like “Big Bang,” the Fringe gives us that reminder. — BY JAKE CLAPP rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 19

Art natural environments using ceramics, wood, and installation.

Krull’s work has always cast a sensitive gaze on environmental matters and pondered the complex relationships humans have with domesticated animals. Since Krull and Walp became parents, the work has taken an even more personal turn.

“The influence of motherhood has made its mark on my work” in explorations of beauty, vulnerability, and fragility, Krull says in a statement on her website.

“The hungry baby bird, and the furless and helpless newborn mouse perfectly embody this season of my life, where nurturing and protection are paramount,” she says. “Concerns about the morality of our politics, the health of our environment, and our own species’ ultimate survival are amplified when they are seen as a reflection in the eyes of our children.”

[ PREVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

The Memorial Art Gallery on six occasions presented the Rochester Biennial, an invitational exhibit that boasted the work of some of the best regional artists. The Biennial brand was passed to Rochester Contemporary a couple of years ago, and after some consideration and restructuring of the show, RoCo is sharing the stage. The New Rochester Biennial will kick off in three locations on Friday, October 6.

“Our goal is to expand the model,” says RoCo Director Bleu Cease. “I want to instigate more meaningful collaboration between mid-sized venues in Rochester, shine a light on thoughtful, challenging work, and instigate new curatorial models.”

RoCo, Visual Studies Workshop, and Gallery r will each host curated exhibitions through October and November that investigate creative collaboration, influence, and partnership.

“Witness,” hosted at RoCo, features paintings and drawings by Paul Dodd and Leo Dodd, spotlighting their shared interest in documenting and recording life in Rochester. Paul’s work is a meditation on the Crime Stoppers imagery, and his late

20 CITY SEPTEMBER 27 - OCTOBER 3, 2017

father Leo’s images are of scenes of Rochester’s growth and progress, Cease says.

“Leo’s watercolors are more optimistic and romantic,” Cease adds. “One of Paul’s portraits may seem neutral and somewhat cool, yet the ‘Model for Crime Faces’ project grows out of his deep commitment to honoring the human” behind the crime, mugshot, or tragedy.

There’s a tangible reason behind this empathy, Cease says — Paul’s brother was arrested for minor marijuana possession and jailed at a young age. “It had a major impact on their family, of course,” he says. “Paul later worked for the police department handling mugshots and crime sketches, further fascinating him with the portrait and how we image criminality.”

The Dodds’ work will be accompanied by archival materials, including a letter written

by Leo to his imprisoned son.

Gallery r will present “Bound,” an exhibition

of works by Bethany Krull and Jesse Walp, RIT School of Art and American Crafts alums and a married couple. The show will include solo and collaborative work that Krull and Walp have created in the last decade, including installations that reimagine

art project by Bridget Elmer and Emily Larned, co-founders of Impractical Labor in Service of the Speculative Arts. ILSSA has functioned since 2008 as an “evolving publishing and public practice platform committed to investigating labor, time, and what we value,” the artists say in a provided statement. It’s also a research institute and a union that promotes solidarity and creates opportunities for its members, they say.

“Implement” will invite participants to share what they consider to be essential tools for living. Also on site at VSW will be an exhibit of selected ILSSA publications and a collection of resources that spotlight the artists who inspired founding and development of ILSSA. The New Rochester Biennial’s curators have synched their programming through connected opening receptions, and performances will take place between the spaces organized by Joe Tunis of Carbon Records and performance art group The Bloody Noes, Cease says.

A series of staggered opening receptions will be held at the three spaces on Friday, October 6, with a traveling Place Making Processional beginning at 6 p.m. at Gallery r, departing to VSW at 6:45 p.m., and heading over to RoCo at 8 p.m. And there is a day of Progressive Artist Talks on Saturday, October 7, at RoCo (12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.), VSW (2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.), and Gallery r (4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.).

Cease says he hopes that this year’s trivenue experiment lays the groundwork for the future, with regards to further connections and collaborative programs, and an expanded audience for participating artists and venues.

DANCE | ‘ALL THAT JAZZ’ Rochester City Ballet opens its 2017-18 season with an interesting program that’s a little non-traditional for a ballet company. “All That Jazz” will (as the name suggests) feature three works set to jazz pieces. The bill will feature two works by RCB Artistic Director David Palmer: “Bound for Brubeck” interprets music by the great pianist and band leader Dave Brubeck, including his “Take Five”; and a piece set to big band favorites will have its world premiere.

RCB will also perform “Bach de Trois,” a work choreographed by Nikolai Kabaniaev and set to French pianist Jacques Loussier’s jazz renditions of Bach compositions.

Rochester City Ballet will perform “All That Jazz” on Friday, September 29, through Sunday, October 1, at Nazareth College Arts Center, 4245 East Avenue. 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday; 2 p.m. on Sunday. $37-$47. 3892170; rochestercityballet.com.

ART | ‘THE STATE OF UNDRESS’ When artist Renée Schuls-Jacobson decided to taper off her anti-anxiety medication — a commonly prescribed benzo — she experienced terrifying withdrawal symptoms that impacted her physically, psychologically, and socially.

Determined to find a way to push through this new hell, she began painting simple, colorful hearts and words as a way to distract herself. She now goes by RASJACOBSON, and her self-prescribed art therapy practice has evolved into mostly female figures expressing a variety of emotions.

The works are based on images shared by others who experience the disconnect she felt between outer appearance and inner turmoil. Each of the colorful, whimsical canvases center on a figure in various stages of undress, with a variety of complex expressions.

“The State of Undress: The Healing of RASJA COBSON” is on view at Whitman Works Company Gallery (1826 Penfield Road, Penfield) through October 7. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Admission is free. 747-9999; whitmanworks.com.

THEATER | ‘SCHOOL OF ROCK’ It’s hard to imagine a project where Broadway legend Andrew Lloyd Webber and comedian Jack Black coexist. But there was something about Black’s 2003 film, “School of Rock” — about failed rock musician-turned-prep school substitute teacher Dewey Finn and his rock band of fifth graders — that caught Webber’s attention. In 2013, Webber rewrote the music, with book and lyrics by Julian Fellowes (“Downton Abbey”) and Glenn Slater (“Sister Act”), and “School of Rock” the stage musical opened on Broadway in December 2015.

On September 30, its first-ever national tour — featuring a cast of youngsters playing instruments live on stage — will kick off in Rochester.

“School of Rock” will be performed Saturday, September 30, 8 p.m.; Sunday, October 1, 1 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.; Tuesday, October 2, through Thursday, October 4, 7:30 p.m.; Friday October 5, 8 p.m.; and Saturday, October 6, 2 p.m. Auditorium Theatre, 885 East Main Street.

“Battle of the Sexes”

In the superbly entertaining “Battle of the Sexes,” directors Valerie Faris and Jonathan (PG-13), DIRECTED BY VALERIE FARIS Dayton (“Little Miss Sunshine”) dramatize that AND JONATHAN DAYTON event as well as the circumstances that led the OPENS FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29 world champion tennis player to accept such a ridiculous offer. [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW Even before that match, the film shows us that King (played here by Emma Stone) In the early-1970’s, Billie Jean King, the top was already at war: fed up with being female athlete in the world at the time, was paid only a fraction as much as her male challenged by 55-year-old retired pro — and counterparts for a major tournament, self-proclaimed “chauvinist pig” — Bobby she orchestrates a boycott of the tennis Riggs to square off against him in an exhibition association, at the time led by Jack Kramer tennis match that he hoped would prove once (Bill Pullman). With the help of her and for all that men were the superior athletes. manager, Gladys Heldman (a brassy, scenestealing Sarah Silverman), King organizes her own touring competition exclusively for female players and even secures the sponsorship of Virginia Slims (inspiring an amusing running gag in which Heldman cajoles the Emma Stone and Steve Carell as Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs in “Battle of the all-star Sexes.” PHOTO COURTESY FOX SEARCHLIGHT

female athletes throughout their tour to start lighting up at every opportunity).

Determined to advance the cause and get herself and her fellow female athletes the pay they’re worth, King hopes in the process to help women’s sports achieve the respect it so rightly deserves.

As King’s star continues to rise, the life of Briggs (Steve Carell) is coming apart at the seams, and his gambling addiction has left his long-suffering wife, Priscilla (Elisabeth Shue, quite good in an underdeveloped role), at the end of her rope. A born huckster, Briggs sees challenging the reigning champion more as a way to make a quick buck than to prove any deeply held belief. Screenwriter Simon Beaufoy (“127 Hours,” “Slumdog Millionaire”) follows King and Briggs in parallel narratives leading all the way to their showdown at the Houston Astrodome in front of an estimated audience of 90 million television viewers.

Another even more compelling drama, all the while, is playing out in the background: The star player unexpectedly finds herself attracted to liberated hairdresser Marilyn (a lovely Andrea Riseborough). Stone and Riseborough have a sweet and palpable chemistry together, and their burgeoning romance is responsible for some of the film’s strongest material.

At a time when homosexuality wasn’t accepted, King risks everything — both professionally and personally — to explore a

24 CITY SEPTEMBER 27 - OCTOBER 3, 2017

side of her she’d long fought to repress. Caught in the middle is her handsome, square-jawed husband Larry (Austin Stowe), who even as he begins to realize his marriage is in dire straights, puts his own feelings aside to help his wife achieve success.

Beaufoy’s treatment of that character is indicative of his overall approach and the way he avoids turning Riggs into a cartoonish villain. The story’s real antagonist is Pullman’s Jack Kramer, standing in for all the suitwearing white men who act as the gatekeepers to progress, smiling while they tell you that’s just the way things are. King sees through him right away, “Bobby’s just a clown. With you, it’s for real.”

Stone is sensational, and she turns in one of the strongest performances of her career (possibly even better than the one that earned her an Oscar just last year). King is a complicated character, but Stone underplays the part in compelling ways. Carell is also good, utilizing his natural affability and emphasizing Riggs’ overt clownishness over any true maliciousness.

Beyond its impeccable production design, Linus Sandgren’s photography (shot on 35-mm film) provides a vintage aesthetic that makes the film feel as though it might have been a product of the time in which it’s set. Aiding considerably is a rousing score from composer Nicholas Britell (“Moonlight”).

“Battle of the Sexes” dramatizes an infamous historical matchup that pitted a capable woman against a buffoonish, showboating man. (Why does that sounds so familiar?) Anchored by wonderful performances (particularly from Stone), the film is a winning crowd-pleaser, albeit one with a sad but undeniable relevance to today.

For the hometeam [ FEATURE ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

Fairport native Nick Greco will be back in Rochester to premiere “The 60 Yard Line,” a charmingly goofy indie comedy that tells the story of Ben “Zagger” Zagowski (Ryan Churchill, also the film’s writer), a diehard Green Bay Packers fan who, with the support of his Chicago Bears-loving best friend (played by Greco), purchases a house in the parking lot of Wisconsin’s Lambeau Field and proceeds to convert it into a football fan paradise.

The premise was inspired by real-life events. Much in the way we see in the film, in 2005 several of Churchill’s friends purchased a house practically sight unseen after spotting the “for sale” sign when leaving a Packers practice session.

With a bit of remodeling, the location quickly became a popular hangout for both fans and players alike, and was soon dubbed “The 60 Yard Line.”

Visiting his friends at the house shortly thereafter, Churchill immediately saw the potential for a film and set about working on a script. Writing continued until 2013, when he approached Greco to help with revisions. Friends since their early days performing sketch and improv comedy

at the ACME Theater in Los Angeles, the pair’s background helped inform their particular sensibilities when crafting the film’s screenplay. Already a football fan, Greco was eager to help out, though his one condition before coming aboard was that — like Greco himself — his character was allowed to be a Bears fan.

In the film’s story, the money Zagowski uses to buy the home had been intended to pay for his wedding to longtime fiancée, Amy (Kim Crossman). As he gets wrapped up in turning the house into the ultimate fan cave, conflict arises when his passion project starts to drive a wedge between him and the woman he loves. To up the drama, Churchill and Greco made the decision to set the story during Green Bay’s 2009 season, when Packers quarterback Brett Favre left for the Minnesota Vikings.

To direct, Churchill and Greco brought in their friend Leif Gantvoort, another veteran of their days in sketch comedy and filming began in 2015. The filmmakers were committed to shooting on location as much as possible.

“I couldn’t imagine shooting anywhere else,” Greco says. “We actually lived in the house while we shot. There was like four of us living on the top floor, so it was very convenient to just walk downstairs and be on set. You’re never late, which was great.”

A number of familiar faces show up throughout the movie, including Green Bay players like John Kuhn, Mark Tauscher, and Gary Ellerson.

“They would all go to the 60,” Greco says. “That’s part of the true story — those guys would go hang out there after games. The owners know all those guys pretty well, so it was easy to get them on board.”

The rest of the cast is rounded out with comedy veterans like Randall Park (“The Interview”), Mindy Sterling (the “Austin Powers” movies) and Chelsey Crisp (“Fresh Off the Boat”), who were all friends through the sketch comedy scene.

Now that the film is in front of audiences, “the response has been great,” Greco says. “Everyone who’s seen the film has told us they’ve loved it — and I hope they’re not lying to us. The challenge I think at our level as an indie film is just getting people to see it.”

“The 60 Yard Line” has been playing festivals throughout the year, even picking up several awards along the way. Greco hopes that success continues as Rochester audiences get to experience the film. Now living in LA, Greco says it’s long been a dream of his to come back to Rochester with a film and to play it at The Little Theatre, a place that meant a lot to him growing up.

Currently in the process of developing new projects with their production company, 880 Films (the house number of the 60 Yard Line), he and Churchill have a few scripts already lined up. They won’t be sticking exclusively to sports pictures; Greco says they’re open to anything, from comedy to drama and horror.

And he’s always looking for an excuse to get back to Western New York. “It’s always been in the back of my mind.

Any script we have now, I’m asking ‘Oh, could this be set in Rochester?’”

“The 60 Yard Line” screens on Friday, September 29, at 6:30 p.m., and will be followed by a panel discussion with Greco and Churchill. An encore showing is scheduled for Saturday, September 30, at 3 p.m.

This handsome house on the southwest corner of Bay and Varden Streets typifies the character of Rochester’s Beechwood Neighborhood: an area of solid historic homes built in the 1920s. Past owners of the 1,392 square-foot home have thoughtfully maintained the property, carefully retaining its original fabric inside and out. The 1923 American Foursquare style residence is clad with wood clapboards and features a spacious front porch with flared columns and a railing with wide balusters. But perhaps more notable is the lush and welldesigned landscape behind the picket fence that surrounds the house. Mature trees and shrubs, including yews, lilac, rhododendrons, and a large variety of perennials enhance and provide privacy to the property. One enters the house via a stone walkway lined with flower beds. From the welcoming sitting porch, walk through the front entrance, a wood and glass door featuring stained glass windows in dragonfly and floral designs on the top and bottom. Inside, one can’t help but notice the warmth of the gumwood trim and hardwood floors throughout.

The large living room to the left of the entry stretches the entire length of the house and is notable for its long bay of six double-hung windows providing plenty of natural light, which is tempered by the trees and shrubs that offer privacy from the side street. A brick wood-burning fireplace is opposite while built-in bookcases flank the front facing window. A wide opening leads to the formal dining room and a powder room. The cheerful

kitchen features beaded-board paneling and attractive built-in open shelving for storage of kitchen items or decorative objects. The checker-board linoleum floor is both colorful and easy to maintain.

The second floor contains three bedrooms, all with closets, with the large master bedroom overlooking the backyard and gardens. The full bath has been attractively updated, but still retains the original black-and-white tile bathtub surround. Typical of this era is the hall’s fulllength linen closet. A staircase leads to the unfinished attic with plenty of precious storage space. Finally, the property contains the original one-car detached garage and concrete driveway off Varden Street.

Bay Street forms the northern boundary of the Beechwood Neighborhood, which runs along Culver Road on the east and Atlantic Avenue on the south. Among the many neighborhood assets are The Dazzle School of Visual and Performing Arts, the Museum of Kids Arts, and The Mayor Thomas P. Ryan, Jr. Community Center and Library. With the area adjacent to the Culver/Merchants area, one isn’t far from a variety of choice restaurants, shops and other amenities. This property has much to offer and is available at $84,900. Contact Stephen Wrobbel (585-734-2583) at Howard Hanna Real Estate Services.

The complaint, which is also served on you, states the nature and basis of the legal action. Within 40 days after September 13, 2017, you must respond with a written answer, as that term is used in Chapter 802 of the Wisconsin Statutes, to the complaint. The Court may reject or disregard an answer that does not follow the requirements of the statutes. The answer must be sent or delivered to the Court, whose address is 901 N. 9th Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53233, and to the plaintiff’s attorney, whose address is 735 N. Water Street, Suite 930, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202. You may have an attorney help or represent you.

If you do not provide a proper answer within 40 days, the Court may grant judgment against you for the award of money or other legal action requested in the

complaint, and you may lose your right to object to anything that is or may be incorrect in the complaint. A judgment may be enforced as provided by law. A judgment awarding money may become a lien against any real estate you own now or in the future, and may also be enforced by garnishment or seizure of property.

SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE. The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure.

State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY THE EDITORS AT ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

Ewwwww!

Forget the horrifying clown from “It.” The newest inhabitant of your nightmares is a giant “fatberg” in the sewer system beneath the streets of London. A fatberg is created by a buildup of fat and grease combined with used diapers, sanitary napkins, and wipes.

This one is almost the length of three football fields and weighs more than 140 tons. Matt Rimmer with London’s Thames Water said the current glob is “a total monster and is taking a lot of manpower and machinery to remove, as it’s set hard.” He said it’s basically like trying to break up concrete.

Wait, What?

Entrepreneur Miki Argawal, 38, of Brooklyn, New York, was a hit at this year’s Burning Man gathering in Nevada, where she pumped breast milk and offered it to fellow attendees to help with hangovers or use in lattes.

She even tried some herself, saying it tasted a bit like coconut milk. She estimated that 30 to 40 people tried her milk. “The fact that any part of that could be seen as taboo ... it’s time that conversation changes,” Argawal said.

Least Competent Criminals

Terror suspect and Uber driver Mohiussunnath Chowdhury, 26, of Luton, England, was detained in London on August 25 after using his navigation program to direct him to Windsor Castle. But the technology led him astray, and he pulled up outside The Windsor Castle pub in Windsor. After realizing his mistake, Chowdhury headed

for London, where he parked his car next to a marked police van outside Buckingham Palace, brandished a 4-foot-long sword and yelled “Allahu Akbar.” Chowdhury was charged in the Westminster Magistrates Court with one count of preparing to commit an act or acts of terrorism.

Bright Ideas

An unnamed man in Plymouth, Minnesota, went to extraordinary lengths and wasted two days of police investigators’ time just to get a few days away from his wife, police Sgt. Keith Bird said. The woman reported her 34-year-old husband missing on Aug. 28 and showed police a text from him saying he had been kidnapped. The kidnapper demanded a paltry $140 for his return, and the wife agreed, but the kidnapper said she could wait for the husband to receive his paycheck. Eventually police caught up with the husband, who insisted he had indeed been kidnapped but asked officers to stop investigating. “He’s fine,” said Sgt. Bird.

Life Imitates TV

Paul J. Newman of Rensselaer, New York, was sentenced on September 6 to 2 1/3 to seven years in prison after pretending to be a licensed and registered architect, after an investigation the New York attorney general’s office dubbed “Operation Vandelay Industries” in a nod to “Seinfeld.”

Newman’s charges included larceny, forgery, fraud and unlicensed practice of architecture. He will also have to pay more than $115,000 in restitution to his victims.

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 27 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Love will be surrounded with complications and uncertainty.

Don’t guesstimate what someone else is thinking. If you are unsure of the signals you are receiving, be cautious and take a wait-and-see approach. Giving someone an ultimatum will lead to an impossible situation and loneliness.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Make time to party and socialize, or to take a pleasure trip that will encourage mingling with other singles.

Love is on the rise, and basking in situations that are entertaining will bring you in contact with someone you will want to get to know better.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Trust will be an issue when it comes to love. If you or someone you fancy isn’t straightforward regarding how you feel, it will lead to suspicion and jealousy -- not the best way to begin a relationship with someone who may just be “the one.”

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’ll find it difficult to decide what you want when it comes to your personal life. Being set in your ways will make it hard for someone to fit into your lifestyle.

Keep an open mind, and be willing to compromise if you want to pursue romance, love and happiness.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your appeal will be overwhelming, making you the go-to person at social events. Spread your cheer and enjoy the people who mirror what you have to offer. Love and romance are within reach if you participate in life and choose to be with someone as generous as you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Give the person you feel most akin to the space to figure out what he or she wants. Do your own thing and indulge in pastimes that show how diverse you can be. If you are fun to be with, you will not end up alone.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Do what makes you happy. If you are always trying to keep the peace, you will never be able to find someone willing to compromise.

Equality will be required if you want to build a strong relationship that has the potential to go the distance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Love from the bottom of your heart.

Let your feelings be known along with your faults and expectations.

The person who is right for you will do the same and be happy to work toward similar lifelong goals.

Romance is highlighted, and a commitment can be made.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be tempted to bypass talking about your past or letting someone you are attracted to know about the baggage or responsibilities you harbor.

Honesty will be of utmost importance if you want to establish a meaningful relationship with someone new.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Lighten up and focus on personal growth, not trying to mold someone to fit into your lifestyle.

Let your free spirit take over, and you’ll attract someone who is intelligent and willing to match you step for step in order to reach the

goals you decide on together.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You have all the right moves and the smarts to attract a partner eager to experiment and make changes as you move forward. Adaptability on both sides will be your ticket to a good relationship and personal success. Someone from your past will spark your interest.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Say what’s on your mind. Don’t fear being different. By showing off your true colors, you will attract someone equally as unique and eager to try new things. Don’t let cultural differences deter you from being with someone you love.
