‘No’ to ConCon On the November 7 ballot proposal regarding a Constitutional Convention in New York: Opposing a

constitutional convention is not an endorsement of the status quo. It’s an acknowledgement that nothing positive could come out of such a convention, given the divisive nature of our politics and the destructive impact that constant media coverage would have of the proceedings. In the 21st century, change can only come in incremental steps.

Should we rewrite New York’s constitution? Given the high level of selfishness, political and historical ignorance, demagoguery, and assorted bigotries loose in America, the answer is “no.” Not just no, but “HELL NO!” ELLAN VANNIN

Frontier Field was expected to bring people to the neighborhood.

Ask the businesses in that neighborhood if it helped.

My guess is it didn’t. The suburban folks who come downtown for entertainment park as close as they can to the venue and leave as soon as they can. They don’t walk around at night in the city.

Someday I’d love to see a civic “improvement” project in Rochester whose business case didn’t boil down to: If we build it, they will come.

We have way more than our fair share of pessimists in Rochester. What a terrible way to go through life. What’s in your glass? Is it half empty or half full?

If we can conceive it and believe it, we can achieve it.

I recall Bill Johnson and CATS, with the unquestioning assistance of the local media, claiming that the ferry would run 360 days a year, make four trips a day, carry 1 million passengers the first year of operation, and bring in $92 million to the local economy.

How’d that work out, guys?

REID KIMBALL

On Urban Journal’s “A Theater for Parcel 5? Some pros and cons”: Obviously, we all want “life after 5” for the city, but I’m wondering what the professional urban planners are saying. Does this project really have a chance of fueling an enthusiasm for centralcity lifestyles that’s already underway? Right now, it’s just a hope and a promise.

We’re listening to sales pitches that aren’t answering specifics. Isn’t the theater too large? Why are there an onsite restaurant and retail spaces if the intention is to get people walking around for these complementary amenities?

This project seems risky, and it’s troubling that Mayor Lovely Warren’s attitude is one of overconfidence.

There are financial ramifications from such a decision. If everything goes according to projections, all the people can sit around a campfire and sing folk songs.

But what if things do not go according to the sales pitch?

What would be the financial hit to the city, if any?

The demographics of the RBTL attendees is also a mystery. Are they mostly older suburbanites – who are unlikely to do a walk-about after the show – or young, urban singles who are then looking for something to do? It matters. Because it is the city, not the county, that is making financial commitments.

GUEST COMMENTARY | BY NATHAN L. JASCHIK

ConCon offers a chance to reform NY government

ALEX WHITE FOR MAYOR

Guest commentator Nathan Jaschik is a retired transportation planner with 31 years’ experience with New York county and regional agencies and is a longtime activist seeking state government reform.

Mary Anna Towler’s Urban Journal is on break this week.

The proposal to hold a state Constitutional Convention, on the ballot in the November 7 election, deserves voters’ serious attention.

This will likely be the last chance in my lifetime to vote to bring real reform and democracy to New York State. We cannot throw away this opportunity because of a hysterical campaign based on exaggerated fears and outright falsehoods.

Claims that public employees will lose their pensions or that the costs of a ConCon will be hundreds of millions of dollars are simply wrong. Pensions are protected under the contract clause of the US Constitution, and the ConCon costs should not exceed $100 million – more likely $75-80 million. And if the ConCon is successful in reorganizing the state’s court system, that investment would yield an immediate $500 million per year savings to the state.

Fears that the “forever wild” protections or labor rights will be taken away are based on the unlikely assumption that the ConCon would be taken over by corporate hacks and that we would be helpless to stop them.

The irony in all of this is that both the proponents and opponents of a ConCon want the same thing – real reform of our state government through effective ethics enforcement, campaign finance reform, independent redistricting, and budgeting and finance policies that are transparent – reforms that will never ever be taken up by the legislature, and people who say we can do these reforms through the regular amendment process are dreaming.

What this entire question boils down to is whether or not we can elect delegates who will attack these questions and come up with real solutions.

The opponents raise visions of corporate money flooding the state to elect delegates to do their bidding. This assumes that we the people are too stupid to recognize what is going on and do not have the capacity to counter with delegates who will do our bidding. If the ConCon is approved, we will have one year to both recruit delegates and develop specific platform commitments, including pledges not to touch those rights we are all rightfully concerned about, but which we might well strengthen.

Unions and NGO’s are now spending millions of dollars trying to scare New York citizens away from the only chance

People who say we can achieve real reform of state government through the regular amendment process are dreaming. they have to make real reform that cannot be blocked by the legislature. Those very same unions and NGO’s are thus saying they are too weak or incompetent to wage a positive campaign and elect delegates we can have some confidence in. Let’s just throw in the towel and go another 20 years with worsening corruption, a rotting public infrastructure, and the business and population losses that go along with that.

Fortunately, there are many in this state who are willing to make the effort to do what needs to be done. We need that opportunity which only comes around once in a generation. But we can’t have a ConCon made up of knowledgeable and competent delegates unless we have a ConCon. So take that first step on November 7, vote “Yes” for the ConCon and then sign up on November 8 to work to elect the delegates we need.

And remember, the delegates to the ConCon cannot amend the constitution; they can only present proposed amendments to be voted on by we, the people. If they do fumble the ball – a highly unlikely prospect, given our history – the last word is still ours.

For an excellent rundown on the potential and risks of a ConCon, see the article titled “Constitutional Convention is New York’s Only Opportunity for Change,”

by Peter Galie and Christopher Bopst, in a recent issue of City Limits.

Libraries offer Obamacare sign-up help

Several city branches of the Monroe County Library are offering one-on-one help for residents enrolling in or renewing their health insurance under the Affordable Care Act. The Trump administration has dramatically reduced funding both for promoting the ACA and for providing sign-up assistance. The open enrollment period for next year’s coverage begins November 1 and ends January 31, but residents must enroll

by December 15 to ensure coverage by January 1.

Representatives of several insurance providers will provide assistance at the Central, Lyell, Phillis Wheatley, Lincoln, Sully, and Winton branch libraries. Information on the specific dates and times: cityofrochester.gov/ACA or 428-7300.

Solar biz tops list

The fastest growing business in the Rochester area is a renewable-energy firm, according to the Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce.

SunCommon NY came in at the top position on the business group’s annual Rochester Chamber Top 100, a ranking of independent, privately held local businesses by dollar

City flips switch on solar project

Construction of a 7,800-panel solar field for the City of Rochester, built on the former Emerson Street Landfill, a 7-acre brownfield, is complete.

AES Distributed Energy of Boulder, Colorado, owns the installation. The city is buying all of the electricity generated there at a cost below what it would have otherwise paid for the power. In its first year, the solar field should prevent approximately 2,300 tons of carbon dioxide emissions, or roughly the annual emissions of 500 passenger vehicles, says a City Hall press release.

The Rochester Electric Vehicle Accelerator wants to increase the number electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids, such as this Chevrolet Volt hooked up to an at-home charger, that are on Rochester’s roads. FILE PHOTO

TRANSPORTATION | BY JEREMY MOULE

Revving up electric-car interest Most drivers haven’t been behind the wheel of an electric car or plug-in hybrid, and the vehicles’ most ardent supporters say that’s an obstacle to getting more of them on the road.

Participants in the initiative known as the Rochester Electric Vehicle Accelerator see a way to address that issue. Over the next year, they want to hold at least 20 events where people can test-drive various plug-in hybrids and EV’s sold by local dealers without going to the dealerships. And electrified vehicle owners are on hand to share their experience.

The goal is to get 1,000 potential

car-buyers to try out the rides, says Ben Prochazka, vice president of the Electrification Coalition, the electric vehicle industry group heading up the effort. The City of Rochester and the Greater Rochester Area Clean Cities Coalition are also among the Accelerator partners.

The Accelerator’s chief mission is to increase the number of people in Greater Rochester buying and driving EV’s or plug-in hybrids. Right now, electrified vehicles make up .4 percent of the local auto market, but the accelerator aims to boost that to 1 percent over the next year, Prochazka says.

Test-drive events are just part of the strategy. The Accelerator is building marketing and outreach campaigns, as well as a website, to inform consumers about electric vehicles and things such as chargingstation locations. The Accelerator has a goal of getting five organizations, such as companies or governments, to transition to electrified vehicle fleets. And it wants to get five new workplaces to offer charging stations to their employees.

“We want to move the market faster than it would otherwise move on its own,” Prochazka says.

A local advocacy group is raising awareness about the effects of racial segregation in schools. But getting even a couple of suburban school districts on board, not to mention the city school district, is proving to be a hard slog.

EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Integrated school still far off Will Greater Rochester ever embrace a racially integrated public school?

For the past five years, the advocacy organization Great Schools for All has been seeking ways to reduce racial and economic segregation in public schools.

Its efforts have culminated in a proposal for magnet schools that would serve students from the city and the suburbs.

The purpose, GS4A’s leaders say, is to mitigate the effect concentrated poverty is having on students in the Rochester school district. The district is one of the most racially segregated in the country, and its students are among the poorest and lowest achieving in New York State.

But while GS4A has made considerable progress in encouraging a public discussion about the need for integrated schools, the issue has not moved much past the talking stage.

“We’ve built awareness,” says the Rev. John Wilkinson, a founding member of GS4A. “I think people, whether they know about GS4A or not, understand that there is real link between poverty and racism.”

Wilkinson says GS4A has steadily chipped away at the notion that there is no political will or interest in creating the schools. Last year, the group published

OUR

a study indicating that many parents in Monroe County, regardless of race or income, would at least consider sending their children to an integrated magnet school.

And the group has been meeting with Rochester school district officials and suburban school district board members and superintendents. Earlier this year, the Rochester school board agreed that Superintendent Barbara Deane-Williams should explore opportunities for the school.

But even beginning the conversation with superintendents and school boards about an integrated magnet school has been a challenge, and some superintendents are more open to the idea than others, Wilkinson says.

Last Thursday, GS4A hosted a talk

by New York Times writer Nikole Hannah-Jones, who has been chronicling segregation in housing and public schools.

Hannah-Jones is an award-winning journalist with a sharp wit, and her appearance was clearly aimed at pressing community leaders to do more than talk about poverty and racism.

“I can’t point to a single segregated school district in the country that produces the same results as white middleclass districts,” Hannah-Jones said in an

interview before her talk. She’s said she’s found individual schools that do well, but not school systems. And while she doesn’t dismiss charter schools, she said they don’t address the core problem: racial and economic segregation and inequality.

While her talk was well attended, the audience included few people of color.

And some non-white Rochesterians, including some key community leaders, oppose efforts to diversify city schools, and don’t see poverty as the underlying reason for low student achievement in Rochester’s schools. They point instead to concerns such as a teaching staff that is largely white and middle-class, teachers who have low expectations of African-American students, and institutional racism.

“I respect that,” Hannah-Jones said during the interview, “and I understand where it’s coming from.” But integration hasn’t worked, she said, because it hasn’t been allowed to work. Policy decisions relating to housing, health care, and public schools have been designed to protect and preserve predominately white neighborhoods and schools.

At Hannah-Jones’ talk, GS4A handed out pre-printed postcards that people could mail to their school superintendents,

encouraging them to support diverse interdistrict magnet schools.

“We don’t need every district in the county to say ‘yes,’” Wilkinson says. “We only need two or three to begin this.”

Still, getting even a couple of suburban districts on board, not to mention the city school district – arguably the main stakeholder in the process – is proving to be a hard slog.

It’s shocking that there’s no sense of urgency, one GS4A member said.

It’s war in Henrietta

Henrietta Town Supervisor Jack Moore

Local elections can be pretty messy, and they usually hinge on some pretty local stuff: unpopular development projects, taxes, and political grudges.

Typically, the contests don’t receive much attention outside of the town or village they happen in, due to their backyard politics. But this fall, people across Monroe County are watching the contest for the Henrietta supervisor’s seat. Embattled Republican Jack Moore is seeking reelection, and he has two challengers: Pictometry founder Stephen Schultz, who’s running on the Democratic line, and Jeffrey Kueppers, who is running on the independent Bright Futures line. Kueppers also made unsuccessful bids for the seat in 2007 and 2009.

Outsiders commonly reduce Henrietta to one big strip plaza or mall. And that’s certainly the environment around its Jefferson Road-Hyland Drive–West Henrietta Road commercial corridor.

But heading south, the scenery shifts to houses, fields, and active farms. Parts of the town still have a relatively rural feel.

6 CITY

NOVEMBER 1 - 7, 2017

Henrietta, however, has been growing.

RIT has been building out its campus and housing. Commercial development is creeping outward from the town’s main retail area, even though the plazas, big box stores, and chain restaurants on those drags experience almost constant churn. More houses are being built in Henrietta, too. The town has issued dozens of residential building permits each of the past few years.

As a result of the growth, development and planning issues have been at the forefront for many Henrietta residents. And their concerns peaked last year when Moore and the Town Board advanced a land-use plan that identified more than 1,000 acres of fields and farmland in the southwest part of town for potential industrial use. The designation would allow for everything from factories and auto repair shops to large apartment complexes.

Moore’s critics framed the proposal as a rezoning plan, but Moore says it wasn’t. No property’s zoning would have changed without an application

from the owner, he says. The whole idea was to identify potential development areas, so that developers and the town could work to get water and sewer to the sites. But residents showed up to Town Board meetings in droves to share their objections to rezoning farmland, and the town ultimately shelved the effort.

Schultz says the land-use plan is part of the reason he’s running. Residents want to see farmland and open space preserved, which they indicated in a town survey about 20 years ago, he says.

The plan that town officials developed could have done just the opposite, and without adequately consulting the public, Schultz says.

“I’m OK with development, but it has to be planned growth,” Schultz says. “It can’t just be this haphazard massive growth that we’re seeing going on right now.”

Some of the land identified in the plan does make sense for rezoning, since it’s next to existing commercial or industrial areas, Schultz says. Those properties include some land just to the south of RIT and some land on East River Road, near an old Kodak facility, he says.

Land use and farmland preservation are key issues, but controversy surrounding the incumbent town supervisor has put the Henrietta race in the spotlight."

Kueppers says that the town is allowing too many inappropriate development projects and that the supervisor has betrayed the town’s trust. He also questions whether the town’s new recreation center is worth its $9.3 million price tag, since it doesn’t have air conditioning or workout equipment.

(It does have programming, a track, a batting cage, and courts for basketball, volleyball, and pickleball.)

Moore is focusing on what he’s accomplished working with the Town Board. People are enjoying the recreation center, which is something residents have been requesting for almost 30 years, he says. And it fits into the town’s ongoing efforts to develop a “town center” around its complex on Calkins Road.

When Henrietta voters go to the polls on November 7, they’ll also be asked to approve $10 million in bonding for a new library building; the town’s courts would eventually move into the current library building, saving the town money on rent, Moore says.

Moore and the Town Board are completing a farmland protection plan, he says. Moore’s campaign literature notes that the town has preserved 150 acres of open space during his tenure. It also notes that he and the Town Board lowered town tax rates, and Henrietta already has one of the lowest town tax rates in the county.

“We’ve gotten a lot done in the last four years,” Moore says.

But Henrietta’s been in the public eye for reasons that have little to do with development or town facilities.

Three town employees filed nine complaints against Moore with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission – starting in 2014, the year he first took office as supervisor – claiming that he made offensive, harassing, sexist, and discriminatory remarks to or around them. Among the salient accusations: he used a racial slur, called a male employee various names, referred to two women by their breast size, and said a female employee looked like a man.

The commission investigated the claims and concluded that there was evidence that Moore violated the workers’ rights.

The findings could serve as the basis for lawsuits, and in one case they already have.

Henrietta Democrats hit Moore and the town Republicans on the findings.

So did some local progressive groups, who called for Moore to resign. The former Henrietta Republican chair, Alan Schaurer, also made a public call for Moore to quit. (Schaurer resigned his position in March and no longer lives in the town.)

Kueppers says the allegations are serious, but he thinks issues such as spending on the rec center are just as important.

Moore and his supporters have dismissed the Democrats’ criticisms as a smear campaign. The employees are making the claims “to create problems,” Moore says.

Moore says that the employees responsible for the EEOC complaints were removed from their positions in the 1990s by former Supervisor Jim Breese. Town officials laid off one of the employees and moved another to an isolated office and reduced her pay. The Public Employees Relations Board later ordered that both workers be restored to their prior positions. In its decision, the board said both of the workers were active in a town employees union and that the actions appeared related to their positions.

The EEOC is hardly a neutral forum and serves to advocate for employees, Moore says. Neither he nor the town attorney had a chance to present arguments during the hearings, he says.

An attorney for the Town of Henrietta says the claims aren’t valid and that no discrimination took place.

But Schultz argues that the complaints are troubling.

“The idea that this is just allegations is just plain wrong,” he says. “It’s not. It’s much worse than that.”

Moore is running on a Republican ticket with Town Board candidates John Howland, a county legislator and former Town Board member, and Kristine Demo-Vazquez, a criminal defense and family law attorney.

Schultz heads a Democratic ticket that includes Town Board candidates Rob Barley, a town Zoning Board of Appeals member and an entrepreneur who started an investment firm, and Michael Stafford, president of a printing industry workers union. Barley and Stafford both ran for Town Board in 2015.

Kueppers is joined on the Bright Futures ticket by Town Board candidate William Wu, who ran for supervisor in 2009 as a Democrat, and challenged Moore in the 2015 Republican primary.

STREET WORK AND DEVELOPMENT SIGNAL A DIFFERENT DOWNTOWN DOWNTOWN | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Walk along Main Street, and you hear a cacophony of construction noise: a jackhammer pummeling an old walkway, machines excavating asphalt, crews in yellow hardhats crawling around the old McCrory building, demolition rubble crashing into a Dumpster.

The street is a grove of orange barrels, traffic cones, and streams of caution tape.

Construction on Main Street, from the Sibley building westward to State Street, has reached a point where the speculation about the future is over: the transformation that’s been talked about for decades is now a visible reality. The eerie sense of abandonment that seemed to envelop large swaths of Main Street has disappeared.

And if all goes as planned, the revitalization of the Main Street corridor, coupled with another major project – a complete redesign of Charles Carroll Plaza, the park that hugs the west side of the river – will dramatically change the way

Rochesterians experience downtown. The new Charles Carroll Plaza will finally begin to maximize what is unquestionably the city’s greatest natural asset: the Genesee River.

About $843 million is currently being invested in the development of buildings downtown, many of them on Main Street, says Heidi Zimmer-Meyer, president of the Rochester Downtown Development Corporation. And that doesn’t count recent development that’s already completed.

Street-level shops and services are also entering the pipeline, she says.

The Main Street projects vary in scope and size. The former Chase Tower has been renamed the Metropolitan and is being converted into a combination of housing and offices. The National Clothing Company building has been transformed into the Hilton Garden Inn. The Hyatt Hotel has undergone an $18 million renovation and added Morton’s, a high-end

steakhouse chain based in Chicago. CGI, a fast-growing communications firm, occupies much of the historic Granite Building and, looking to expand, it has bought the Gateway and Atrium buildings next door.

The McCrory’s building, originally Neisner’s, with its cast concrete 1940’s-style façade, will have federal and city government offices as tenants once renovations are complete. A Social Security office will occupy the building’s upper floors, and the city’s Traffic Violations Agency will take over the basement.

“We came in when people were fleeing downtown,” says CGI’s CEO, Bob Bartosiewicz. Many of the buildings on East Main west of Clinton Avenue had been completely or partially vacant for years and had deteriorated.

“There was nothing here,” Bartosiewicz says. “It was a ghost town, and now

it’s the opposite. You see an absolute confidence that wasn’t here a couple of years ago.” There’s a seismic shift occurring in the cities around the country that he travels to on business, he says, and he’s seeing it in Rochester and Buffalo, too. “People like what I call sidewalk living, sidewalk working,” he says. “It’s a lifestyle that’s not suburban.”

The upswing that downtown is undergoing is the result of some brave business people with both courage and foresight, Bartosiewicz says, as well as several city administrations who have committed to rebuilding the downtown core. He gives a special shout-out to Buckingham Properties’ founder, the late Larry Glazer.

“Larry Glazer was right about his hunch about downtown,” says Bartosiewicz. “He didn’t listen to the naysayers. This is his opus, and it’s great to see it.” rochestercitynewspaper.com

City government is also giving Main Street itself a major upgrade, and it will look completely different when all of that work is finished, says Norman Jones, the commissioner of the city’s Department of Environmental Services. He points to wells that line both sides of the street, where new trees will be planted. The city is adding new benches, sidewalks, and, for the first time in years, parking.

“There will be 52 parking spaces on Main Street,” says Jones. “We haven’t had parking on Main Street in a long time. We didn’t even have street parking in the 1950’s.”

The redesign of Main Street incorporates what planners refer to as complete transportation use: walking, biking, driving, and busing. Other features being considered for Main Street include solar-powered trash and recycling bins, cellphone charging stations, and new signage to better guide visitors to the city’s museums, parks, and other attractions.

“We want this to be the most inviting and memorable downtown they’ve visited,” Jones says. “We want them to be thinking about when they’re coming back.”

experience. A major facelift for the park, which stretches along the west side of the Genesee River between Main and Andrews Streets, would finally address what urban planning experts have been telling city officials for decades: incorporate the river into whatever you do downtown.

The point was made again last year by the Rose Center for Public Leadership, an urban planning and land-use think tank that studied downtown Rochester and made recommendations to Mayor Warren. When the Rose Center was asked how the city can revitalize its Main Street corridor, its response was straightforward: the Genesee River, with its falls and aqueduct, is the city’s greatest asset. It once powered the city’s economy, and it could help do that again.

But architects and developers have been slow to recognize the river’s potential, the Rose report says, treating it as a barrier instead of capitalizing on its appeal the way other waterfront cities have.

“So many people come here and they say they didn’t even know there was a river running through the middle of downtown; why aren’t you taking full advantage of it?”

Jones says.

Charles Carroll Plaza is a 3.4-acre park built in the mid-1960’s, connected by the

Sister’s Cities Bridge to a smaller greenspace on the east side of the river. The bridge allows people to walk from the St. Paul Street corridor to State Street, though that can be difficult during the winter months.

Much of Charles Carroll Plaza consists of a concrete slab covering the Genesee Crossroads Garage, which has 658 underground parking spaces. The plan for revitalizing Charles Carroll Plaza calls for removing most of the existing concrete walls and walkways. The park is so deteriorated that rebar is exposed through cracks in the concrete, causing it to break apart. The cracks and upheavals along the walkways have been patched and repaired so many times over the years that some of the walkways are unstable.

Entering the park from State Street one recent afternoon, Jones pointed to a wall that blocks any hint of the river, even though it’s only feet ahead.

“It’s like it might as well have a sign that says, ‘Don’t enter; no going beyond this point,’” Jones says.

If the plan becomes a reality, the park’s half-circle concrete seating will be removed.

And much of the site will be opened up into greenspace with full vistas of the river, making it safer and more engaging, Jones says.

The water feature that was once in the middle of the river will be reactivated. And a key feature of the site will be a central staging area, with steps extending to the river’s edge to serve as an amphitheater for entertainment and public events. At public meetings held last year, Jones says, a top priority for residents and business owners in the area was improving access to the park, including during winter months.

Jones says the ultimate goal is to eliminate the fragmentation of downtown walkways and trails, making it easier to jog or bike to Corn Hill Landing to the south and the High Falls district north of Main Street.

“We’re going to be connecting all these dots where some development along the river has already occurred,” Jones says.

It would be hard to find someone more

enthusiastic about the city’s plans for Charles Carroll Plaza than Chris Hill, a partner with I. Gordon Corp. The company has financial interests in the First Federal Plaza building at 28 East Main Street and the McCrory’s building at 200 East Main, which is under renovation. For First Federal Plaza (the riverside building with the saucer-shaped top), the park is almost an appendage of the building.

“I’m pretty passionate about this,” Hill says. “We’ve got an awesome design teed up and ready to go. It would really be a game-changer. There’s no other way to describe it.”

Hill believes developing the park on the river is just as important as redeveloping Parcel 5. He references the Rose Fellowship report and what other cities have done with their waterfronts – places like Lansing, Michigan, and Providence, Rhode Island, for example.

“We have something extremely unique here that other cities would love to have,” Hill says. “With this park, it all comes back to Main Street and the river. This is really the epicenter of business in downtown.

You have the courts, the county offices, the federal buildings, and City Hall. And when visitors come to downtown, they often stay in one of the hotels near the river.”

The park can’t stay in the condition it’s in, Hill says. He says he’s noticed that people tend to avoid it, and on a recent afternoon, only a few people could be seen wandering through it. Several large garbage bags containing leaves and trash were lodged under one of the benches among broken glass and the occasional discarded syringe.

Hill says he’s confident that people would gravitate to the park if it were redeveloped.

His own company has discussed the possibility of adding a high-end restaurant where people could sit outside in a bistro-like setting next to the river.

Views of the river from the upper floors of the First Federal Plaza building are nothing short of spectacular. You’re reminded of the vital role the Genesee River has played in the character and economy of Rochester. And Hill says he’s watched Main Street awaken into something that is more like the urban neighborhoods he’s seen in bigger cities.

“I remember seeing a couple of girls roller skating on Main and thinking, That’s unusual. And then I started seeing people walking their dogs,” he says. “Now it’s commonplace.” Blending Main Street with the park is the obvious next step, he says.

But as encouraging as all of this development is, there are still potential trouble spots ahead. For instance, an upper floor of the First Federal Plaza building is vacant. A large print of a Katsura tree taken in Highland Park is the only remnant of the last tenant. The market for some types of commercial real estate in downtown Rochester is soft, Hill says.

And rents haven’t kept pace with the cost of maintaining some of the buildings.

Another concern with the redevelopment of downtown involves the future of two

small buildings on the northwest corner of Main and Clinton – which many people believe form one of downtown’s most important sites. The properties are only a short walk from Parcel 5, potentially the site of the Rochester Broadway Theatre League’s performing arts center.

Neil Bauman’s parents owned the corner property for more than 60 years, and during much of that time, it housed the family’s jewelry store. It’s currently owned by eBaum Real Estate Rentals, he says.

The property next door, which once belonged to an uncle, has been sold, Bauman says. The huge billboard that covered the top three floors of the buildings has been removed, revealing centuryold architectural features as well as some deterioration. Bauman says the buildings won’t be torn down, and he’s working on a

plan with the new owner to renovate them.

There’s also a concern about state and federal funding for the city and its projects. Congresswoman Louise Slaughter warned just days ago that the Trump administration’s budget proposes cutting funding that has helped to make possible some of the city’s biggest projects, like demolishing Midtown Plaza and filling in a portion of the Inner Loop.

And then there’s a concern that we may be overly optimistic about the market for apartments downtown. Is the demand real, or are we seeing a housing bubble? The renewal of Rochester’s downtown core, especially the new housing development, has been part of a national trend. But a Washington Post article last year warned that we’re seeing a demographic shift that may not last.

“Downtown boosters and academics have argued that we’re witnessing an urban revival in the United States,” said the Post article. “But there remains deep debate over how widespread the pattern really is and whether it points to a fundamental shift in where and how Americans live.”

In many cities, downtown housing rents are rising so high that they’re starting to displace people, the Post article noted. Some people argue that in growing metros, that problem can be remedied through better planning.

But Rochester isn’t growing. And betting fortunes on an endless supply of millennials and empty-nesters, as many downtown developers have, may not be wise, skeptics say.

But CGI’s Bartosiewicz isn’t worried.

“I’m very bullish,” he says, “and I would buy more property. We have a long way to go before being overbuilt.” rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 11

POLITICS | BY JEREMY MOULE

Suburbs see plenty of election action In some of Monroe County’s towns, years pass without contested elections. There’s no one reason why that happens. Sometimes the voters in a community may be predominantly loyal to one party. Sometimes they’re just satisfied with the leaders they have (it does happen).

But this year, a dozen towns and one village have competitive races. In many cases, Democrats are trying to unseat Republicans, who control most of the suburban governments. Republicans in Irondequoit are trying to chip away at the all-Democratic town board and take back the supervisor’s position.

Some of the town races reflect newly revived Democratic committees. Clarkson’s Democratic Committee, for instance, was dormant for a few years until its leader, Tom Trapp, went out and recruited new members.

Now, Jerry Underwood is challenging Paul Kimball, a Republican who’s served as town supervisor since 1984. Samantha Golden and Theresa Alano are mounting a challenge to incumbent Republican Town Board members Allan Hoy and Patrick Didas. And Peter Selig is running against incumbent Town Justice Ian Penders.

The Pittsford Democratic Committee has fielded town candidates over the years, but they haven’t prevailed in that Republican stronghold. But Democrats have won some races in the village, and since last year the local committee has grown substantially.

This year, Stephanie Townsend and Kevin Beckford are running against Republican incumbents Mary Gehl Doyle and Jared Lusk. (Supervisor Bill Smith, a Republican, is unopposed).

Voters in parts of Pittsford, East Rochester, and Brighton can also vote in a contested County Legislature race.

Democrat Howard Maffucci and Republican Jason Rosenberg are running for the 10th Legislative District seat; Republican Anthony Daniele has the seat now, but has to leave the Lej due to term limits. The GOP has a 19 to 10 majority in the chamber, and the race represents a chance for Dems to take a small bite out of that margin.

In other communities, Democrats are trying to build on gains they’ve already seen. Sweden Democrats got two candidates elected to the Town Board in 2015: Lori Skoog and Mary Rich.

This year, Walter Borowiec and Susan Smith are running against Republicans Robert Muesebeck, a current Town Board member, and Patricia Hayles. One seat on the board is currently vacant, so two seats are up for grabs on November 7.

12 CITY NOVEMBER 1 - 7, 2017

The Sweden race has become rather contentious, and during a recent Town Board meeting, some town Democrats – including Skoog and Rich – quarreled with Town Supervisor Robert Carges over a town-funded publication, Snapshots.

The fall edition includes an article honoring town employees who served in the military, accompanied by a picture of Muesebeck, a Vietnam veteran, and two other town workers. Democrats argue that the publication makes no mention of the other two Town Board members, Skoog and Rich. They argue that town money is being used to promote a Republican candidate.

The only candidate for the supervisor position is Republican Kevin Johnson.

Carges, who is also a Republican, isn’t seeking re-election.

In Irondequoit: Not too long ago, Republicans controlled Town Hall, but over the course of a couple of elections, they were all voted out of office. This year they hope to regain some seats.

Christopher Burns is challenging the current supervisor, Democrat David Seely, and Gregory Devlin and William Morse are running against Kimie Romeo and incumbent Town Board member Peter Wehner.

Seeley and Burns went head to head last November, and Seeley won by a large margin. But Burns and the rest of the Republican ticket – the I-TEAM, as they’re calling themselves – say town officials aren’t doing enough to bring down Irondequoit’s taxes; the town has the highest rate in the county. They also say the town isn’t doing enough to get public input on development projects and that that which has frustrated or angered residents.

Seeley, Romeo, and Wehner are campaigning on their experience in town government; at minimum, all of them have served on one Irondequoit board or another. And Seeley has emphasized some of the development that’s happened along East Ridge Road during his time as supervisor and, previously, when he was on the Town Board. That includes the town’s efforts to wrest Medley Centre away from an owner who let it languish.

A new owner has started renovating the dead mall, which will now be called Skyview on the Ridge.

A full list of this year’s races and candidates is on the Monroe County Board of Elections website.

Beer’s best friend, part two [ ROUND-UP ] BY DAVE BUDGAR

In this occasional round-up series, CITY is trying its own food and beer pairings at brewpubs in and around Rochester. In the first part, published in September, we scoped things out at Roc Brewing, Swiftwater, and the Rohrbach Beer Hall, all close to the center city. In this segment, we expanded the radius a bit further to Rochester’s north side, Brockport, and Webster.

Iron Tug Brewing (360 West Ridge Road; 865-0032; irontugbrewing.com), which opened last year, occupies part of a 1921 firehouse in Rochester’s Maplewood neighborhood. Intimate and spartan, the focus here is clearly on the beer and food. Four long, communal wooden tables occupy most of the space.

My girlfriend and I started a recent meal there with a chocolate porter and an oatmeal stout, and we grabbed a (free) basket of popcorn from the machine on the bar.

Though it contains no chocolate, the porter had distinct cocoa notes and a dry, pleasingly bitter finish. The stout also had some chocolate characteristics, along with a rich roasted coffee essence. Unsurprisingly, both went well with the salty popcorn.

Iron Tug’s food menu is a simple one: a charcuterie board ($9) and five house pizzas

($8). The charcuterie board uses meats and cheeses from Swan Market, McCann’s, and Rubino’s as well as some hearty crackers, briny olives, and chunks of dried apricot and pineapple. The porter was as a fantastic foil for the assertive flavors of the charcuterie.

We grabbed two of the pizzas: a Greek (tomato sauce, melted three-cheese blend, fresh spinach, Kalamata olives, and feta, topped with a drizzle of fig balsamic vinegar)

and a classic Margherita. The fig balsamic vinegar tempered the typical pungency of a Greek pizza with an uncharacteristic sweetness, and I think more olives would have provided better balance. The Margherita had a nicely charred, cracker-thin crust and a rich tomato sauce with roasted whole grape tomatoes and melted fresh mozzarella.

Often with pizza, lighter bodied beers rule the day, but the stout mingled well with both pizzas and the dark brew’s richness enhanced the Greek. The East vs. West v. 5.0, an unfiltered IPA, also worked well with both, but it also performed better with the sweetness of the Greek — its biting grapefruit-y acidity wasn’t as friendly with the Margherita.

Another relative newcomer, RG Brewery (1360 West Sweden Road, Brockport; 6375575; rgbrewery.com) opened in 2015. Set in a bucolic landscape and exuding rustic charm, just southeast of Brockport, RG has an outdoor deck, which my friend and I took advantage of on a spectacular October afternoon. My friend, a stout devotee, started with the Bonfire stout — a smooth, dark chocolate-y brew with marshmallow notes — and proclaimed it “one of the better stouts I’ve had in my life.” Good not only on its own, the stout balanced well with the lobster bisque ($5), which had a

fresh, creamy tomato base that was briny but not fishy. Along with the lobster, it contained scallops and shrimp.

I started with the robust Gentleman’s Brew Scotch Ale, which has hints of caramel and whiskey, and paired it with RG’s unique (and delicious) peanut butter and cheese quesadillas ($5). The salty and sweet concoction paired ably with the Scotch ale — although the ale was a bit dry for the quesadilla and the stout worked better.

RG’s brewmaster, Jared Mesiti, does an admirable job with fruit-enhanced beers.

I’m generally not a fan, but the Son of a Peach — a pale-ale style with a smooth peach tea-like finish — won me over with its balance and refreshing characteristics.

The beer is creamy, subtly fruity, and importantly, not sweet, which made it a good counterpoint to the Boom Boom chicken sandwich ($8), whose spiciness contrasted well with the peach. Similar to a Buffalo-style chicken sandwich, it had grilled chicken, RG’s Boom Boom sauce, and crumbled blue cheese.

Knucklehead Craft Brewing (426 Ridge Road; 347-6236; knuckleheadcraftbrewing. com), which opened in Webster in 2014, has a more varied menu. My girlfriend and I started with Bavarian soft pretzels ($7.41) accompanied by Knucklehead’s own beer cheese, which contains Kathy’s Kreme Ale and bacon. As expected, the pretzels paired delectably with the sessionable, crisp Kathy’s Kreme Ale. A unique item on Knucklehead’s menu is Len’s fried bologna sandwich ($9.26): hearty slabs of pan-fried bologna are stacked on fresh French bread adorned with caramelized onions and Dijon mustard. The Knockout stout — redolent of coffee and chocolate — brought a smoky enhancement. All of Knucklehead’s sandwiches come with tangy, al dente Asian macaroni salad, topped with ground-up sesame sticks.

Knucklehead has a novel take on bar food and offers small servings ($4) of ideally textured — not too dry, not too chewy — beef jerky made by Rochester’s Smoke Shack.

We tried both the Fumanchew (made with Out-of-Seitz Scotch ale, it is all at once sweet, spicy, and smoky) and Jammin Jerk (also flavorful, not quite as spicy). The Fumanchew was a better fit with both the amber ale and the Scotch ale, while the full-bodied flavors drowned out Kathy’s Kreme. The Scotch ale complemented the Jammin Jerk while the stout mellowed its piquancy.

Looking ahead, in our third endeavor, we’ll venture even a little farther away from the city, pairing beers and food at breweries in Honeoye Falls and Canandaigua. rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 13

There’s plenty of soul with an indirect nod to bands like The Style Council and The Strokes.

It used to take a minimum of two notes to make a minor chord. It’s just simple theory; it’s the rules: a single note is neutral. That is, until it’s part of a scale or chord pattern — or until Anamon came along with “Stubborn Comfort,” its brand new, 12-song ode to mellow and minor.

This Rochester three-piece ensemble provides a wonderful, wonder-filled orchestration that doesn’t confuse minor with melancholy, as some artists have a tendency to do. The album is evocative and guitar-centric with guitarist Ana Emily Monaco’s thick tone and casual, curious, meanderings in the forefront. She sings in an equally mellow, Mazzy Star-esque tone as well. The rhythm section plays nicely in the pocket as if there were more that they were supporting. And it’s all tied together by guitarist “Overhand Sam” Snyder, who had his over hands all over the affair, recording, producing, and mastering it. Consequently “Stubborn Comfort” burns memorably hot and cool. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Jesse Lewis and Ike Sturm

[ THU., NOVEMBER 2 ]

“Endless Field” Biophilia Records endlessfieldband.com

As a graduate of the Eastman School of Music, Ike Sturm is well known in Rochester jazz circles as a superb bassist. Since moving to New York, he’s played with Wynton Marsalis, Donny McCaslin, Bobby McFerrin, and many others. But on his latest release, “Endless Field,” a collaboration with guitarist Jesse Lewis (who has worked with Dave Douglas, Anat Cohen, and others), Strum ventures into an adventurous new territory.

The music is inspired by nature, and much of it was composed spontaneously by these two master players in a Catskill Mountain forest.

The result is simply gorgeous. The sound of the two musicians’ fingers sliding on the fret boards of the guitar and five-string bass is somehow transformed into flowing brooks and wind-stirred leaves. On some cuts, Sturm and Lewis enlist the help of friends like McCaslin, keyboardist Fabian Almazan, trumpeter Ingrid Jensen, flugelhornist Nadje Noordhuis, vibraphonist Chris Dingman, percussionist Rich Stein, and vocalist Misty Ann Sturm. Even the packaging (intricately folded paper with a download code) is beautiful. From start to finish, “Endless Field” is an evocative and wondrous musical journey. — BY RON NETSKY

Was there a ring?

Not that I was aware of, but I kind of assumed that Jack Schaefer would step in, but he didn’t. So I said, “Look, if you guys are interested, I’m available.”

What did you do to prepare?

The Margaret Explosion’s new guitarist, Phil Marshall, plays music he’s never heard before.

No rehearsal. I’d sat in a few times before, and I’d seen how it kind of works. The groove gets started; Peggy states a theme — it’s usually a one or two-chord progression … I guess if it’s one chord you’re not really progressing anywhere, but you just figure out the key. And the idea for me is to be lush and ambient and create atmospherics.

The Margaret Explosion’s Marshall plan Margaret Explosion EVERY WEDNESDAY IN NOVEMBER LITTLE THEATRE CAFÉ, 240 EAST AVENUE 7 P.M. TO 9 P.M. | FREE | THELITTLE.ORG; MARGARETEXPLOSION.COM [ INTERVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE

The neon flashed “Vacancy” after guitarist Bob Martin packed a grip and skedaddled west to Chicago, leaving a hole in the Margaret Explosion the size of space.

The Margaret Explosion is known for its atmospheric, borderless seek and find, and Martin was an integral component.

It is the perfect music, really; a narcotic moment in time framed by the audience’s desire to take a ride. No charts, no rehearsal — it would seem the band is perfect for those who hate prep work. But that would be missing the point. Specifically, Margaret Explosion is a listening experience that requires a suspension of disbelief, like an agnostic search for god.

On a recent Wednesday evening, over the blood of the bean at The Little Theatre Café, fans kibitz and chatter excitedly to hear music 16 CITY NOVEMBER 1 - 7, 2017

they’ve never heard before and will never hear again. Margaret Explosion plays completely freeform, improvisational music; one and done.

Tonight’s lineup is Peggy Dodd on saxophone, Paul Dodd on drums, Ken Frank on upright bass, and Martin’s replacement on guitar, Phil Marshall, sitting cross-legged on the floor. Now Marshall ain’t Martin, nor does he claim to be. But if there’s a guitar player in Rochester capable of anything, it’s Marshall. And by way of guitar sent through a pedal board that looks like it came out of the cockpit of Air Force One, Marshall sounds in form as he tackles tunes he — and the band — has never heard before.

Marshall has been on the scene for eons: as a founding member of The Colorblind James Experience, La La Land, The Fox Sisters, The Phil Marshall Band; as a sideman for multiple singer-songwriters, like Annie Wells; and as a musical therapist in hospice care, giving comfort to those in the end stages of life.

CITY sat down with Marshall to discuss “Who is Phil Marshall?”; never playing the same thing twice; and how it’ll be a long time before we hear him play “Stella By Starlight.”

An edited transcript follows.

You manipulate your pedal board with your hands. Why?

That’s because I want to work it with my hands. I like to tweak the nobs. I like to treat it as if it were its own instrument. And I’m new enough to pedal boards that I don’t trust my feet, especially with levels of reverb, stuff like that. I don’t just want to turn it on and have that be just what I use; I want to be able to adjust it throughout and even in the context of one piece, one song.

So even if you create a memorable passage, the band won’t revisit it?

No, and I think it’s a philosophy in the band: every chance you play, it’s a new conversation, a new dialogue. I can’t be original every minute that I’m playing. But if I have something I like, a riff, I might try it again next time, but possibly on an entirely different piece of music. I really like the freedom of not having to worry about arrangements. With Colorblind James and La La Land, everything was rehearsed to a “T.” There was no room for error. Once La La Land dissolved, I didn’t really want to have a situation where I would have to play things the same way in my music.

But I’m playing guitar in The Fox Sisters and I’m having a blast with that. We have arrangements. Sometimes we crash and burn, but nobody panics and keeps playing.

Has the Margaret Explosion ever crashed and burned?

Sometimes we’ll be playing and it’s like, “This doesn’t feel like it’s working.” But that’s part of it. You’ve got to get your hands in the clay and see if you can come up with something, because then you have the opportunity to create something better than you ever imagined.

If you rehearse everything, chances are you’ll play at one level — and that’s a good level; you’ll entertain people, you’ll get the message across. Sometimes when you improvise, you bottom out, but you’re also gonna go higher than you ever expected. It’s like jazz players with free improvisation.

Does recording in the studio defeat the Margaret Explosion mission?

It’s a document — nothing more, nothing less. Lately, I’ve got into this thing where all I want to do is release live albums and not play in the studio anymore. It probably won’t last, but I like taking that chance. I like the risk.

Have you left any itches unscratched?

I’ve always fantasized about being in a jazz band, playing standards, but I suck at that.

It’s gonna be a while before you hear me do “Stella By Starlight.” There are just too many things I like to do. I like making ambient sounds; I like clouds of reverb and looping and seeing where that goes, doing a quasi-Brian Eno kind of thing. But honestly music therapy is the one thing I think I’m qualified to do.

I’ve caught myself saying yes too much. I have a lot of limitations and a lot of itches to scratch, so I find myself in different things I can enjoy myself in. I’m in more bands than I’ve ever been in, now: I’ve got the R&B and soul thing; free improv; singersongwriter. I love being a sideman. I’m a Jack of all trades, master of none. I don’t think I’ve found “This is who Phil Marshall is when he picks up a guitar.”

SOUL | BROCA’S AREA

Low-slung, polyrhythmic group Broca’s Area is a sincere epitome of how the younger generation will come to appreciate the fathers of contemporary jazz and R&B. Singer Mary Corso’s vocals are deeply soulful and intimate, which accentuates the hip-hop instrumentation and jazz cuts. J Dilla, Hiatus Kaiyote, and the Blue Note Records catalog are just a few of Broca’s Area’s favorite things — those styles have influenced the band into an abstract, artsy, music collective with cool grace.

Broca’s Area will perform with The Dirty Grass Players on Friday, November 3, at Funk ‘N Waffles Music Hall, 204 North Water Street. 9:30 p.m. $10. rochester.funknwaffles.com; brocasareamusic.com. — BY AMANDA FINTAK rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 17

The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra’s opening OrKIDStra concert last month, a performance of Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Iolanthe,” took its audience on a trip to Fairyland, complete with wands and wings. This weekend’s show, “A Tour of World Flutes with Orchestra,” covers pretty much the entire globe, as represented by 13 different flutes, from pennywhistle to shakuhachi and pan flute, from countries including China, Japan, Ireland, and Romania.

World flutist Tereasa Payne will join the RPO to share music and stories about her instruments, all reinforcing the lesson that even though we may all look different, we are all connected. Guest conductor Matthew Kraemer will lead the RPO in this musical adventure for kids. Another RPO family concert worth noting: The RPO is performing the score to “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” set to the full movie on Friday, November 3, and Saturday, November 4, 7 p.m. both nights, at Kodak Hall (60 Gibbs Street).

Fred and Sue “The Agitators” THROUGH NOVEMBER 12 GEVA THEATRE CENTER, 75 WOODBURY BOULEVARD TICKETS START AT $25 232-4382; GEVATHEATRE.ORG [ FEATURE ] BY LEAH STACY

Outside the Susan B. Anthony House on Madison Street, there’s a life-size statue created by Pepsy Kettavong depicting Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony having tea. The two were only a few years apart in age and, in true Rochester fashion, of course they knew one another. Through November 12, Geva Theatre Center is staging “The Agitators,” a commissioned work about the 45-year friendship between two American history makers.

Though director Logan Vaughn learned about the duo in history class as a child in Texas, she didn’t know “Fred and Sue” — as she refers to them — were friends. “We grew up hearing about them as individual icons, but even in 1849 this black man and white woman were standing there for each other,” Vaughn says.

“If it can happen then, it certainly should be happening now.”

Vaughn, a member of the Directors Lab at Lincoln Center, was one of many directors that playwright Mat Smart interviewed for the project, but the two felt an immediate kinship 20 CITY NOVEMBER 1 - 7, 2017

over their views of the script’s content. Vaughn’s experience in arts as activism, in particular, was a big part of the connection.

“Logan felt the play and this relationship, it was almost like a really spiritual thing,” Smart says. “She had a really good perspective of focusing more on the humanity than on the history.”

The idea for “The Agitators” came to Smart in 2013 when he was in Rochester for the world premiere of his baseball-themed play, “Tinkers to Evers to Chance.” During a tour of the Susan B. Anthony House, he heard the story of Douglass and Anthony’s friendship and observed the “Let’s Have Tea” statue.

“I was inspired that these two great Americans knew each other, so I went to Geva and pitched the idea for a show,” he says.

“Everyone here knows they were friends, but there’s very little written” about that friendship.

As a regional theater, Geva regularly hosts world premieres yet doesn’t generally commission them. Landing a 2017 Edgerton Foundation New Play Award (other recipients include “Hamilton” and “Dear Evan Hansen”) enabled more workshop time in New York City, which offered a jumpstart on the design and directing process.

“In my own personal narrative, first being a young black girl and then becoming a young woman, Fred and Sue did things that were significant to me,” Vaughn says. “I wanted to honor them in the most glorious way and inspire the next generation — because it’s not

just about what they did, it’s about their intentions. This is still going on. Mat really took that to heart, because he immersed himself in Rochester.”

For Smart, theater is about taking people on a journey — and that journey often begins with his own experiences. Geva dramaturg Jenni Werner assisted Smart with the inundating research, but it was different from every other play he’s written.

“We went to Seneca Falls, talked to historians, and I held their personal letters in my hands,” he said. “Rochester, and Western New York as a whole, in the 19th century was a hotbed of reform and critical thinking. And from Fredrick to Susan to Harriet Tubman, they all knew each other.”

“The Agitators” has undergone several revisions in the past year, but the current version of the show, which opened on October 21, features just two characters (played by Chicago-based actors Cedric Mays and Madeleine Lambert), edgy design, and a run time of just over two hours including intermission.

While the play follows the chronological timeline of the duo’s relationship — including their famous disagreement over the 15th amendment — Smart and Vaughn both wanted to add unexpected elements throughout the show. Smart wrote in scenes at a railroad station and a baseball field, while Vaughn worked with composer Juliette Jones (who’s collaborated with artists ranging from Justin Timberlake to Hans Zimmer) to craft a musical experience that would appeal to audience members of all ages.

“Fred was a self-taught classical violinist, and we wanted to bridge the gap between classic and contemporary,” Vaughn says. “In the script, Smart wrote, ‘a burst of light and maybe Kendrick Lamar’s DNA plays,’ and ultimately, we ended up back there.”

Vaughn encouraged Jones to put her own spin on the song with strings and that became the through line for the production.

Songs from Jay-Z, Kanye West, and The Roots are worked in throughout the production as well. Last week, local high school students gave a standing ovation after two separate performances. For Vaughn, that was a huge encouragement.

“I was hoping that they would see themselves in it and connect, especially with the music,” she says. “They’re our next set of agitators.”

The show isn’t slated to run anywhere else after it closes at Geva on November 12, but Smart is optimistic that more audiences will have a chance to see the show.

“I’ve been waking up to write plays for the last 16 years,” he said. “This has been, really, the most exciting project of my life.”

Can’t find it? Found it “Place Makers” THROUGH NOVEMBER 18 2 LOUD COWS, 13 PINE HILL ROAD, SPENCERPORT OPEN BY APPOINTMENT. FREE | 312-498-1570; FACEBOOK.COM/LOUDCOWEXHIBTIONS [ PROFILE ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

When artist Aaron Delehanty relocated from Chicago to Rochester last autumn, he immediately wanted to get acquainted with other makers in the art scene. Though his bread-and-butter occupation was familiar — he had been an artist on staff at Chicago’s Field Museum, and moved to take a job as a staff artist at the Rochester Museum and Science Center — he missed the DIY social art party scene. It was something he couldn’t seem to find an equivalent for around here.

“Moving to Rochester, I didn’t know what my art career was going to look like,” he said in an interview with CITY back in the spring while strolling around his Loud Cow exhibition space, which includes an old barn behind his Spencerport house and the surrounding 1.3 acres of semi-rural land. At the time, Loud Cow was showing its inaugural exhibit, “How Did 22 CITY NOVEMBER 1 - 7, 2017

We Get Here?,” featuring work by five local artist-professors.

Delehanty had been pretty entrenched in the art scene in Chicago, and in San Francisco before that. “I love contemporary art, so when I got to Rochester, I looked around for the type of art spaces I was connected to — alternative art galleries, artist-run spaces, experimental centers, apartment galleries,” he said.

Unable to find exactly what he was looking for, he decided to start it himself. Now rebranded as 2 Loud Cows, the DIY space is currently hosting its second exhibit of work by local artists.

2 Loud Cows isn’t a non-profit, but it’s not a commercial gallery, either — if any work is sold, Delehanty doesn’t take a cut. “It’s kind of like the wild wild west, where you can just make your own way, experiment, and be a little edgy,” he says in an interview in mid-October.

Surrounded by thick copses of older trees and with an idyllic creek tripping through it, the property is a just short hike from the city lights and the ordained white walls galleries that art fans float toward, moth-like. At 2 Loud Cows, exhibitions are installed on the lawns and on walls and in the nooks of the ground level of the barn — the lofted area above houses Delehanty’s studio.

For museums, Delehanty creates hyperdetailed dioramas of animal habitats,

archeological digs, and the like, as well as a range of replica artifacts. His studio work reflects an interest in animals-within-environments, but the tone takes on dystopian narratives that range from violent chaos to the more subtle, like in a series of ink drawings that depict the precise moment escaped animals realize they are free.

The space is based on the apartment gallery models in other cities where he’d shown his work, like Chicago’s Co-Prosperity Sphere and Floor Length and Tux. “That’s a very normal thing for people — artists mostly — to have art shows in their apartments,” Delehanty says. “It does a few things: it gives the artist who’s running the space an opportunity to engage with the art scene, to meet people, to provide a new resource for the artist community, and it’s also just a fun social party.”

Delehanty began gathering interest in his space by getting to know artists working in regional colleges and universities, “assuming that they were doing good enough work to be professors, that they’d make challenging work for a group show,” he says.

“How Did We Get Here?” featured work by Clifford Wun, Dara Engler, Debra Fisher, Evelyne Leblanc-Roberge, and Megan Armstrong, with a focus on the human negotiation of interior (mental and physical) and exterior (architectural and natural) spaces. The art ranged from sculpture and installations to twodimensional work and a video piece projected onto the barn’s second level window.

2 Loud Cows’ second exhibition, “Place Makers,” opened on October 21, and features the work of sculptors Allen Topolski and Jappie King Black. They both repurpose found objects, but they take different approaches, Delehanty says.

“Jappie finds her objects in the natural world — things like vines, sticks, and twigs — and mines that space to make her artwork; Allen on the other hand mines what I guess we’d call the technosphere — left-over appliances, and man-made objects that have accumulated over the decades.”

Installed throughout the property, both bodies of work reference some sacred human practice. While King’s figurative wood assemblages contains what Delehanty calls “pagan-istic, Wiccan, earthiness,” Topolski’s stacked bowling ball project alludes visually to cairns — stacks of stones historically used as markers by many different cultures.

In addition to the two annual shows, Delehanty wants to expand the arts programming to include lectures, performances, and film screenings. As DIY-spaces notoriously get shut down by kill-joy officials, it only seemed right to ask Delehanty if he was worried about getting targeted.

“It’s just like a party at my house, except people are putting up artwork,” he says. “I’m not even selling beer or alcohol.”

This film noir farce, set in the rip-roaring, Red-baiting year of 1952, juggles three love stories among American and Russian spies, assumed identities, a murder mystery, a nuclear espionage plot, and (to be sure) the identity of a red herring — just to cover the basics of its 24 free-form scenes. This play sounds like a field day for clever actors; no wonder “Red Herring” has enjoyed many well-received performances in regional theater. The Penfield Players’ production of “Red Herring,” directed

by Don Bartalo, opened last weekend, and continues this weekend and next at the Penfield Community Center.

Penfield Players will perform “Red Herring” on Friday, November 3, through Sunday, November 5, and again November 10 and November 11 at the Penfield Community Center, 1985 Baird Road. Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m.; Sunday at 2 p.m. $12 in advance; $15 at the door.

ART | ‘SCREEN SAVIORS’ Rochester artist Shane Durgee is the guest curator for a short-run exhibit that will completely transform The Yards Collective art space. “Screen Saviors” features the multi-media work of Denton Crawford and Jackie Spaventa, including a psychedelic painting in a lose-your-ego scale and immersive video installations. Spaventa is an RIT graduate who works in photo and video, and is clearly having a blast while poking holes in concepts of identity and consumerism. Durgee describes her work as akin to that of Cindy Sherman or Miranda July, “if they were asked to collaborate on a ‘Tim and Eric’ sketch.” Crawford uses a palette of acidic, neon-pastels to describe the tension between man’s longing for Eden, fear of actual nature, and the savage sanctuary of fanaticism and blind faith.

An opening reception will be held Friday, November 3, from 6 p.m. until midnight. “Screen Saviors” continues through November 11. The Yards is located at 50-52 Public Market Way (entrance between Java’s and Flour City Bread Co.). Public hours are Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., or by appointment.

LITERATURE | MICHAEL CHABON Michael Chabon is one of those genuinely wonderful writers that it’s difficult to say, “Start with this book.” Of course, “The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay” — Chabon’s 2001 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel set during the Golden Age of comic books — is a high recommendation, for good reason. But then there’s his engrossing noir mystery “The Yiddish Policemen’s Union” (my introduction to the writer and a personal favorite), or his bestselling debut, “The Mysteries of Pittsburgh,” a more realistic, comingof-age story. Or there’s his latest, 2016’s “Moonglow,” a creatively told memoir of his grandfather. Chabon’s work has been deservedly praised for the writer’s style and his touching exploration of Jewish identity, sexuality, and family ties.

Chabon will be in Rochester for the opening night of the Jewish Book Festival, in discussion with Writers & Books Executive Director Kyle Semmel, on Sunday, November 5, at the JCC Hart Theater, 1200 Edgewood Avenue. 7 p.m. Tickets are $20 general; $18 JCC members; and $5 students. The JCC Lane Dworkin Jewish Book Festival continues through Sunday, November 19. For more information, visit rjbf.org.

Bogusław Linda in “Afterimage,’ screening as part of the 2017 Polish Film Festival.

PHOTO COURTESY FILM MOVEMENT

28 CITY NOVEMBER 1 - 7, 2017

The last film from the master of Polish cinema, Andrzej Wajda, who died in 2016 at the age of 90, “Afterimage” (“Powidoki”) chronicles the final years of Polish avantgarde painter and art professor Władysław Strzemiński (Bogusław Linda).

It’s a compelling, angry, sometimes passionate film,

observing how Strzemiński fought an ultimately losing battle for artistic freedom against his country’s Stalinist regime. (Tuesday, November 7; 7:15 p.m.; Dryden) The vibrant dramedy “The Happiness of the World” (“Szczęście Świata”) revolves around several residents of a tenement house — Róża, a beautiful Jewish woman, and the three men who fall for her — just before the outbreak of the Second World War. The second half of the film jumps forward to the 1950’s to find that somethings have changed, while others remain very much the same. Director Michał Rosa will be in attendance for a Q&A after the film screening. (Wednesday, November 8; 7 p.m.; Little) Tackling the life of footballer Jan Banas (Mateusz Kosciukiewicz), the entertaining “Stars” (“Gwiazdy”) follows Banas’ rise to the top of the sport during the 1960’s and 70’s. His climb is set against a longtime rivalry, both on and off the field, with his best friend Ginter (Sebastian Fabijanski) and Marlena (Karolina Szymczak), the woman they both fell in love with. Director Jan Kidawa-Błoński will be in attendance for a Q&A after the screening.

(Thursday, November 9; 7 p.m.; Little) The festival’s second biopic to focus on an esteemed Polish artist, the darkly comedic “The Last Family” (“Ostatnia Rodzina”) recounts the last 28 years in the life of controversial surrealist painter Zdzisław Beksiński (Andrzej Seweryn, who took home the best actor award at the Locarno Film Festival for the role). In his fiction

feature debut, director Jan P. Matuszynski creates a suitably unconventional portrait, emphasizing the artist’s relationship with his long-suffering wife Zofia (Aleksandra Konieczna) and their neurotic son Tomasz (Dawid Ogrodnik). (Friday, November 10; 7 p.m.; Little) “The Art of Loving: The Story of Michalina Wisłocka” (“Sztuka Kochania. Historia Michaliny Wislockiej”) follows the exploits of Poland’s infamous sexologist (played by Magdalena Boczarska), who literally wrote the book on love and sex in the country. The film devotes equal time to her battles with the country’s censors, over the right to publish her tome, as it does to her messy personal life. Not one to be concerned with offending morality, Wisłocka placed value on women’s health concerns as well as their pleasure, and in doing so was responsible for ushering Poland into a true sexual revolution. (Saturday, November 11; 3 p.m.; Little) The often brutal World War II drama “Hatred” (“Wołyń”), centers on Zosia (Michalina Labacz), a young woman in love with a Ukrainian boy from her village, but forced by circumstance to marry a widower with two children of his own. As the violence of the war makes its way to her doorstep and tensions between the Polish and Ukrainian villagers erupts into bloodshed, Zosia does everything she can to protect her children from the horrors that surround them. A panel discussion will follow the film. (Saturday, November 11; 7 p.m.; Little) In the stirring documentary “A Little Poland in India,” five survivors share their experiences as part of the group of about 1,000 children who escaped the prison camps of Poland and Siberia by being ushered into India during World War II. (Sunday, November 12; 3 p.m.; Little) Directed by Marie Noëlle, the fascinating

Sunshine daze “The Florida Project” (R), DIRECTED BY SEAN BAKER OPENS FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3 [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

Whether following the lives of transgender sex workers in “Tangerine,” an illegal Chinese immigrant in “Take Out,” or a New York street hustler in “Prince of Broadway,” director Sean Baker always brings a deep empathy to his vibrant stories of people living on the margins of society.

Baker’s latest, “The Florida Project,” is a sometimes funny and often sad story set amongst the “hidden homeless” of Orlando, Florida. These people are able to cobble together enough money to make daily or week-to-week payments for a room in a shabby motel, clinging to poverty but managing — just barely — to avoid living on the streets.

Six-year-old Moonee (Brooklynn Prince) lives at the purple-walled Magic Castle Inn, in the shadow of Disney World, with her well-meaning

but dysfunctional mother, Halley (Bria Vinaite, a nonprofessional actor discovered by Baker through Instagram of all places). With mom busy doing whatever she can to provide for them, Moonee is left to her own devices.

The film follows Moonee during the endless summer months when she’s given free rein to get into all sorts of mischief with her friends Jancey (Valeria Cotto) and Scooty (Christopher Rivera).

The kids are frequently unsupervised, leaving the hotel’s ceaselessly patient manager, Bobby (Willem Dafoe, conveying innate goodness), to act as a guardian angel of sorts. He’s always around, after all, so he watches over the children when he can and tries to make sure they don’t get into anything too dangerous. Though he’s not always successful.

It’s through Moonee’s eyes that we see this world, and we grow attached to her, though Baker’s script (written with Chris Bergoch) is unafraid to portray her as more than a little obnoxious. In fact, she’s kind of a terror, with an awareness that she’s cute enough to get away with just about anything. Prince is wonderfully

“Marie Curie, The Courage of Knowledge”

(“Maria Skłodowska-Curie, Odwaga Wiedzy”) tells the story of the groundbreaking chemist and physicist (played by an excellent Karolina Gruszka), chronicling her life from the time she became the first woman to be awarded the Nobel Prize to five years later when she received the prize for a second time. (Sunday, November 12; 7 p.m.; Little)

unaffected, delivering one of the most remarkable child performances I’ve seen in some time.

Moonee resides in the protective bubble of childhood, blissfully unaware of the precariousness she lives in every day. Its protection is mostly an illusion, capable of shielding her from the harsh realities that surround her, but not from their effects. And so the film builds up a subtle underlying tension as we begin to genuinely fear for Moonee and where she might end up if things continue on as they do.

But Baker focuses on the heart and humor of Moonee’s life, while keeping us attentive to the systems that work to keep the less privileged exactly where they are. He brings an authenticity to this world, never condescending to his characters and seeing them with a cleareyed sensitivity.

The film takes us into the sections of Florida that tourists rarely venture unless they’ve taken a wrong turn, or are looking for activities slightly less wholesome than what they’d find hanging with Mickey and his friends. The wealth of the Magic Kingdom hasn’t trickled down here, and likely never will. Shooting on 35 millimeter, cinematographer Alexis Zabe gives the film a lovely pastel palette, and through his lens we always find the beauty in these environments.

The film’s ending has proven to be divisive. Without giving too much away, the final moments are abrupt but satisfying, making an emotional sense and providing the story with some sort of closure. Breaking stylistically from the rest of the film, Baker’s aware that certain events might have been unbearable if presented in any other way. The brief sequence has heart, humor, and sadness, and it feels exactly right.

3643 Lake Avenue

FOR SALE TOWNHOMES ONLY 9 AVAILABLE

Charlotte bills itself as The Community That Cares and forty years of loving care and custom renovations has created a home where convenience, grace, and history come together in a stunning whole. Facing Lake Avenue but accessed by Grassmere Park, 3643 Lake Avenue is near Turning Point Park, the Charlotte Branch Library, and a bus line.

Upstairs, there are two good sized bedrooms on the left, a full bath, and the master bedroom, which also runs the entire front width of the house. A finished attic, which has plenty of head room, is a huge space suitable for many possibilities—an entertainment center, office, teen suite—and is not included in the 2,156 square feet listed for the house and full basement.

• • • • • • • • •

This Colonial Revival style house, built in 1920, has a wow factor right from the start.

It must be seen to be fully appreciated.

Entering from the front porch, the living room has high ceilings, a fireplace, and runs the entire front width of the house. On the left are beautiful glass paneled French doors that lead to a sun porch.

Sliding glass doors off the kitchen lead to the back porch which is partially covered.

The rest is open, though the current owners have put a screened tent and swing there, making it a lovely place to relax and view the backyard, ponds, and gardens.

From the living room, through an open doorway, there is a hall with a half bath at one end and stairs to the side entrance, basement, and upper floors at the other.

Two open doorways on this hall lead to the kitchen and the dining room. The dining room has a chandelier and fireplace and is connected to the kitchen by an open doorway. The kitchen is bright and airy in white with a glass paneled corner cabinet, a tiled floor, and the luxury of a first floor laundry under one counter.

The open doorways are all edged in white molding which gives each room a clean and elegant look. The large size of all the rooms, the high ceilings, floods of natural light, and the ease of movement on this first floor cannot fail to please.

A historic stone lighthouse, the site of many happy childhood memories, is reported to have once graced the banks of the Erie Canal and now stands guard over the smaller of two ponds. There is a bridge over the larger pond and a brick pathway leads from the house to the garage.

This charming property is in move-in condition and the perfect place to start making your own happy memories. It lists for $120,000. For more information, please contact Kenneth Currie with Re/Max Realty Group at 764-2200.

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.

Horsing Around

Quick-thinking paramedics in Dorset, England, saved the life of a man whose fishing outing went south when a dover sole jumped down his throat and blocked his windpipe on Oct. 5.

Sam Quilliam, 28, had just caught the 5 1/2-inch-long fish and went to give it a kiss when it wriggled free and lodged in his throat. “I ran round the pier like a headless chicken and then passed out,” Quilliam told The Guardian. When first responders arrived, Quilliam was not breathing, but friends were performing CPR. Paramedic Matt Harrison said: “It was clear that we needed to get the fish out or this patient was not going to survive. ... I was able to eventually dislodge the tip of the tail and very carefully, so as not to break the tail off, I tried to remove it — although the fish’s barbs and gills were getting stuck on the way back up.” Finally, the fish “came out in one piece,” Harrison said. Quilliam said his brush with death won’t put him off fishing. “Once I am back at work and fit, I will probably get back at it again,” he said.

What’s in a Name?

Carrie L. Hitt, 42, of Junction City, Oregon, died after her Ford Bronco left the road on Territorial Highway and rolled on Oct. 4. Hitt was ejected from her car and then struck by a second vehicle, driven by Nadine M. Killmaster, 32, of Yakima, Washington. Oregon State Police told The Register-Guard they believe Hitt was using a mobile phone just before the crash.

Lindsey Partridge of Ontario, Canada, booked herself at a pet-friendly Super 8 in Georgetown, Kentucky, for the Retired Racehorse Project’s Thoroughbred Makeover on Oct. 4. At check-in, Partridge asked the front desk clerk if the pet policy included horses, to which the clerk answered, “Aw, I wouldn’t mind.

You could do that.” So Partridge returned to her horse trailer and brought Blizz, her retired racehorse, into the hotel. Partridge and Blizz took a video and a few photos in the room, but eventually Partridge took Blizz to the Kentucky Horse Park, where the rooms are more suited to equine visitors. The Lexington Herald-Leader reported that Blizz took third place in the trail competition during the event.

Meanwhile, in Iowa, a pair of women stopped at a traffic light in Altoona in October looked at the car next to them and saw a horse staring back from the back seat. “This is the most Iowa thing that has EVER happened to me,” Hannah Waskel tweeted, along with a video of the miniature horse. “We started laughing and the people driving the horse saw us and waved,” Hannah told UPI. “They even rolled the window down for the horse.”

Questionable Judgment

Tucson, Arizona, firefighters were called on Oct. 15 to a mobile home park after a resident there tried to remove spiderwebs from beneath his trailer using a propane torch, but ended up setting his home on fire. KVOA-TV reported that the unnamed man’s elderly mother, who also lived there, suffered minor injuries while being carried out of the mobile home with the help of neighbors.

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 30 ] [ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Turn your energy into passion and engage in activities that will help bring you closer to someone you are attracted to. Working to reach a similar goal with someone you want to know better will give you an opportunity to make the first move.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Keeping secrets will be in your best interest when dealing with someone you are trying to get to know. Be a good listener, and you’ll find out if the person you are talking to will be able to handle you and your lifestyle before revealing your preferences.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your interest in someone may be risky if it’s someone you work with. Consider the down side of working with someone you love and how it might interfere with your work or, even worse, make your work relationship awkward.

Look for love elsewhere.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Attractions can be a tricky thing. Often the person you feel chemistry with cannot fulfill your need for mental stimulation and vice versa. Choose the person you feel comfortable talking to and see if it leads to a physical relationship. It never hurts to build a friendship first.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll have no trouble finding love, but you may have a hard time picking the best partner.

Tempting suggestions will take you in a direction that may appear to be exciting, but getting involved in questionable activity isn’t likely to end well. Don’t do anything you’ll live to regret.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Let your emotions guide you when it comes to love. Someone from your past will spark your interest if you attend a reunion or just happen to bump into one another. Frequent old familiar places, and a chance to revisit something you left unfinished will lead to new beginnings.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’ll push someone’s buttons if you discuss emotional matters or make your feelings known. It will do you good to air how you feel and find out where you stand. It’s time to stop living a stagnant personal life and engage in a meaningful relationship.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Social events will lead to chance meetings and good fortune in the romance department. Get out and mingle, attend reunions or reconnect with someone you loved and lost. A different approach to relationships will be well received by someone who is just as unique as you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Be a good listener and find out all you want to know about someone before you give in to the chemistry you are feeling.

Personal change is highlighted, but it has more to do with inner growth than it does with hoping someone else will improve your life.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Refrain from appearing too needy or accommodating, or you will end up with someone who is eager to make your decisions and control you.

Choose a partner with whom you feel comfortable discussing your inner thoughts, desires and plans for the future.

Choose someone looking for a mutual relationship. rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 39

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your playful attitude will attract someone who is as entertaining as you are. Don’t waste your time on anyone who wants to be catered to; you need someone who is willing to be up for whatever challenge comes your way. Aim for equality, not a dependent.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Love and romance will be unstable. Just when you think you are getting to know someone, you’ll be surprised by his or her actions. Slow down and take some time to figure out what type of person you want to spend the rest of your life with.
