I am writing to correct some factual inaccuracies contained in a recent letter-to-the-editor

by Willa Powell, chair of the Rochester City School District’s Finance Committee, that was published in CITY’s October 2 edition.

Ms. Powell stated that the maintenance of effort (MOE) payment schedule for 2019-20 budget year was altered and that RCSD wouldn’t receive money from the city until October. This is false. The schedule has been the same for many years and was not altered. In fact, the city has already made two scheduled $20 million disbursements to RCSD, on August 2 and September 30. The district’s cash flow statement will confirm this.

Second, Ms. Powell stated that the Board of Education knew of the MOE payment schedule change and planned accordingly. Since there was no change to the schedule, the board couldn’t know of one. The fact is that the city was forced to issue a revenue anticipation note (RAN) for RCSD once RCSD’s need for short-term cash increased beyond $50 million. It is important to note that, beyond the MOE payments, the city has routinely loaned cash to RCSD to assist it in managing its revenue streams.

In fact, the city lent over $49 million to RCSD in the 18-19 fiscal year, which can also be confirmed by the district’s cash

Publisher’s e-book embargo creates ‘have and have-not’ readers

If you run a business, would you decide to limit sales to a customer responsible for 45 percent of your business?

This is what Macmillan Publishers decided to do when it announced recently that it would embargo public libraries from purchasing more than one copy of an e-book for the first eight weeks of its release.

Macmillan believes that every e-book checked out from a library is a lost sale and that e-book lending hurts their bottom line. In a memo announcing the embargo, Macmillan CEO John Sargent asserted that 45 percent of e-book “reads” were being “borrowed for free” from libraries, a trend he attributed to “active marketing by various parties to turn purchasers in to borrowers.”

While some borrowers are also buyers, it is also true that many people rely on public libraries as their sole source for books, audiobooks, films, music, and information. By limiting access to the newest books available, Macmillan is creating a situation where the people who can afford to pay have access to the newest books while those who cannot pay must wait. This is antithetical to everything the public library stands for.

It’s important to recognize the impact on library systems like ours, which serves more than 500,000 people in Monroe County.

Use of digital content has grown at a greater rate than print borrowing for the last several years, with most months showing a 25% or greater increase in digital borrowing than in the prior year. In 2018, 562,083 e-books were borrowed, and we expect to loan 141,000 more in 2019.

A single copy of a new title in e-book format for a period of two months is not sufficient to meet the demand nor is it acceptable.

In some instances, this embargo will force readers to wait a year or more to borrow an e-book published

by Macmillan, whose authors include J.D. Robb, Liane Moriarty, Bill O’Reilly, and Louise Penny.

E-books are likely to become the primary way people read in the future.

Actions like Macmillan’s creates a class of readers who benefit from early access to information because they can afford to buy.

The Urban Libraries Council is currently gathering support from elected officials who agree that the Macmillan embargo on purchases must be reversed. Mayor Warren has signed on to the ULC campaign alongside mayors from San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston, and many other North American cities. The American Library Association encourages readers to join us in urging Macmillan to reverse its policy by joining the #eBooksForAll campaign.

EDITOR'S NOTEBOOK | BY DAVID ANDREATTA

CITY to end political endorsements The height of the political campaign season is upon us and candidate endorsements abound. They’re everywhere. On lawn signs, in news releases, and at press conferences.

But don’t look for them in the pages of CITY. Count CITY among the growing number of newspapers that have gotten out of the political endorsement game.

Newspapers, including this one, have a long history of endorsing political candidates, from those seeking the highest office in the land to those looking to become their town’s next dog catcher.

The number of them offering endorsements, though, has declined precipitously for good reasons.

The harshest critics of the practice view political endorsements as either an attempt by a newspaper to sway an election or dictate to the reader what they ought to do at the polls.

The Wall Street Journal, which stopped endorsing after it embarrassingly gave the nod to Herbert Hoover in the 1928 presidential election, declaring him “the soundest proposition for those with a financial stake in the country,” used to clarify its position every election cycle.

Its stated stance in 1972 was stark: “We don’t think our business is telling people how to vote.”

That’s not what endorsements are about. At their heart, endorsements are statements of a newspaper’s identity, the values it holds, and its attempt to be part of the conversation.

Newspapers have long helped shape civic dialogue, and the feeling in many newsrooms is that newspapers have an obligation to share their collective wisdom on elections with readers.

That somewhat presumptuous thinking persists at newspapers, specifically among editorial writers who author endorsements, because they have spent so much more time than the average reader exploring issues and interviewing candidates.

Who better than them to opine on which candidate would make the best dog catcher?

The idea that newspaper endorsements can help readers cut through the noise, especially in local races that get less media attention than national or statewide contests, carries some weight.

As the Columbia Journalism Review wrote in 2017 advocating for endorsements, “Few Americans may clip out endorsements from the paper to bring to the polls, but for down-ballot races, there are simply no other media willing to interrogate potential property appraisers for 90 minutes.”

The reality is, though, that fewer and fewer readers are listening nowadays.

The 2016 presidential election, in which newspaper endorsements for Hillary Clinton outnumbered those for Donald Trump by a margin of nearly 20-to-1, was proof enough of that.

A pair of studies from 2008 offered more quantitative evidence.

That year, a Pew Research Center study found that 7 in 10 Americans said their local newspaper’s endorsement had no impact on their vote for president.

Another study, by the National Bureau of Economic Research, was more troubling. The study suggested endorsements have a nominal impact because readers consider the endorsement’s credibility through the lens in which they view the bias of the newspaper.

Therein lies the problem. Choosing sides in an election undermines for too many people the idea that a newspaper is an honest broker of facts and informed opinion.

CITY recently published thorough pieces on the Monroe County executive and district attorney races. They offered tremendous detail on the candidates’ platforms, backgrounds, and beliefs that were derived from extensive interviews with the candidates and independent research.

Now think about how those pieces would be viewed in light of CITY telling readers who it would like to see win those races.

A better approach during campaign season is to thoughtfully report on and analyze individual issues and policies.

Readers need to be informed. CITY can help in that regard.

If that influences readers to vote one way or another, so be it.

PRESERVATION | BY NOELLE C. EVANS

News

Landmark Society lists preservation priorities The Landmark Society of Western New York wants to bring more attention to the viability of historical houses of worship. The preservation group is using its annual Five to Revive list to aid in that effort, says Wayne Goodman, the Landmark Society’s executive director.

Five to Revive highlights buildings and structures that the Landmark Society’s leadership believes offer strategic opportunities for revival. This year, however, one of the five items on the PROVIDED PHOTO list is thematic: the adaptive reuse of historic houses of worship. The organization took a similar approach in 2017, when its list called for the preservation of front porches.

“We see, I think, an alarming trend that continues across western New York and specifically the city of Rochester and that is dwindling congregations, lower funding capacity,” Goodman says.

From 1991 to present, the number of US residents who claimed no formal religious identity grew by 20 percent, according to information provided by the Landmark Society.

To preserve historical houses of worship, the Landmark Society suggests that congregations and religious entities work creatively with other partners to revive the buildings. This, Goodman says, will help revive the surrounding area.

“Anytime that these large congregational buildings can be revitalized, it’s only going to have a positive impact on the surrounding neighborhood and district,” he says.

The 2019 Five to Revive list also includes reservoirs at Cobbs Hill Park and Highland Park; a residential building in the Susan B. Anthony neighborhood that’s been vacant for over 20 years; the hamlet of Childs in Gaines, Orleans County, and a former seminary in Dansville.

CHILD VICTIMS ACT | BY DAVID ANDREATTA

Ex-D&C worker was cited for groping paperboys

A late supervisor of Democrat and Chronicle newspaper carriers, who a recent lawsuit accused of sexually abusing a paperboy in the 1980s, was arrested in 1987 on suspicion that he was groping paperboys in a Greece doughnut shop.

The supervisor, Jack Lazeroff, was charged with disorderly conduct, a violation, according to the police report.

An employee of House of Donuts on Latta Road told police that Lazeroff came into the shop “almost daily with a young paperboy,” according to the report. The employee described how Lazeroff would buy the boy a doughnut, then fondle him as the boy ate while sitting on a stool. “(The worker) also stated that she feels the victim looks extremely uncomfortable at the time, and seems that he doesn’t know how to stop the suspect’s actions,” the report read. “(Witnesses) stated that they don’t know the name of the boy, but since then, the suspect has come into the shop with two other youths, and basically the same thing is happening.”

Police reported that investigators interviewed three boys who claimed to have been subjected to similar groping by Lazeroff. One of them was 13 years old, and another was 14.

The report noted that Lazeroff was was scheduled to appear in Greece Town Court to answer the charge on September 25, 1987. A Greece Town Court clerk said court records did not show the outcome of the case.

Lazeroff, who died in 2003, was the subject of a civil lawsuit filed under the Child Victims Act last week against the D&C and its parent company, Gannett Co., by a former paperboy.

The lawsuit, first reported by CITY Newspaper and its media partner WXXI News, accused Lazeroff of repeatedly molesting Rick Bates, now 48, when Bates was living and delivering newspapers in Brighton in 1983.

Lazeroff was arrested in 1988 and charged with sexual abuse in the second degree, a misdemeanor reserved for incidents in which the alleged victim is under the age of 14 or unable to consent to sexual contact.

Records on file at Penfield Town Court, where the case was adjudicated, show he pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of disorderly conduct.

Domestic violence, as a term, serves as a common shorthand for actions as disparate as subtle, psychological manipulation and severe physical violence, including murder. But the term can also minimize the seriousness of abuse by implying it’s a private matter, not a criminal one.

SOCIETY | BY JEREMY MOULE

Campaign reframes domestic violence Domestic violence is a pervasive problem in Monroe County. The number of reports to police have been on the rise for the past few years. The number of calls to Willow Domestic Violence Center’s crisis and support hotline jumped 21 percent last year, too.

As agencies and advocates work to address domestic violence, they’ve found that the term itself has its own set of problems. It’s ingrained in our language, and serves as a common shorthand for actions as disparate as subtle, psychological manipulation and severe physical violence, including murder.

This October, Willow is running a campaign aimed at trying to get the public to change how it fundamentally thinks about intimate partner violence and abuse.

It’s taking aim at the very term “domestic violence,” which can serve as “a common way of expressing and then somewhat diminishing the abuse that people are experiencing,” Meaghan de Chateauvieux, the organization’s president and CEO, said.

“They’re criminal acts,” de Chateauvieux said. “They’re just treated differently because we see them as a family issue.”

The campaign consists of outdoor ads, posters, social media clips, and TV ads that recast typical acts of domestic abuse as

the criminal acts they are. The visuals also reference the state laws that make those behaviors a crime.

For example, one poster reads “GPStracks-my-car-and-phone violence,” and explains that under state law, that’s stalking.

For each of the past several years, Willow has run public campaigns during October, which is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Each effort has focused on educating people on the signs that may indicate a family member or friend is in an abusive relationship, as well as how to support domestic violence survivors.

Previous campaigns have had hopeful, strength-based messages, de Chateauvieux said. But domestic violence reports have been increasing in Monroe County and the per capita rate of reports is nearly twice the statewide rate, she said. The county also had 10 domestic violence homicides in 2018.

Willow, formerly Alternatives for Battered Women, marks its 40th anniversary this year. But with that milestone, de Chateauvieux said staff has realized how little has changed since the organization’s founding. Many of the barriers that survivors faced then are still a problem. And so when it came time to develop this year’s campaign,

Willow leaders were comfortable developing something with more “moxy.”

“It’s a strong statement and I think that reflects a little bit of impatience with the community not recognizing the significance of this and Willow Domestic Violence Center's ongoing public campaign aims the ways that we all need to come together to change the way people think about domestic violence. It uses displays, like this one on East Main Street, as well as posters and to support survivors,” broadcast media spots to point out that common forms of domestic she said. abuse are criminal acts.

POLICING | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Police reform: advocates on what should come next As things stand now, the Election Day referendum on Rochester City Council’s proposed Police Accountability Board will proceed.

A panel of state Appellate Division justices overturned a lower court’s ruling that would have blocked the vote. The original ruling came after the Rochester Police Locust Club — the police officers’ union — sued to block the referendum. Voters have to approve the law that creates the board because it would remove some of the mayor’s authority.

However, if voters approve an accountability board, that won’t be the end of the matter. The Locust Club is expected to sue again in an effort to get the law invalidated, continuing to argue that civilian involvement in police discipline violates both state law and the union contract.

If the union sues, the issue could be tied up in court for months.

But reform proponents say city officials don’t have to wait for a court decision to bring change to the Rochester Police Department.

An accountability board is essential, they say, but additional reforms are needed, some of which the mayor and City Council already have the authority to make. Some proponents also say it’s time to push for change to a state law that shields police personnel records from public view and makes it hard even for public officials to oversee the department.

On the local level, “I think we have to look at the existing model that we have and see if anything can be done to strengthen it,” said City Council member Malik Evans.

“I think there’s definitely things we can do,” Evans said.

In recent interviews, city officials and reform activists elaborated on actions they think city government can take.

Police department diversity Rochester’s police force is disproportionately white and suburban, and increasing diversity has been a goal for the department – and for Mayor Lovely Warren – for years.The city has had some success, Warren’s chief of staff, Alex Yudelson said, “especially in the upper ranks.” The RPD’s chief and deputy chief are both African American, he noted.

There are a lot of reasons why the RPD has had trouble hiring more people of color, Yudelson said, but lack of trust in the RPD is a big factor.

“A lot of people tell us it’s the trust,” Yudelson said. “You’ve got to build it back. It’s going to take a while.”

OCTOBER 23 - 29, 2019

The police chief needs to put “people who are trusted by the community, who are a known quantity in the community” in key positions, said Carlos Garcia, who served in the RPD for 22 years (and is now chief of communications for the Rochester school district). Garcia still mentors young police officers, and some young white officers who are not city residents are afraid when they patrol inner-city neighborhoods, he said.

Community policing The Rochester Police Department used to have a section office in each quadrant of the city, which gave police officers a stronger, visible connection to the neighborhoods they served. That can foster a public safety approach known as “community policing,” which emphasizes the importance of police officers getting to know residents and partnering with them. It doesn’t guarantee better policecommunity relations, but it enables it.

The city abandoned its section offices in 2004, though, arguing that it would save money. That structure, said City Council member Malik Evans, is “something that never should have been undone.”

“Community policing is something we really, really, really have to focus on, almost like a laser,” Evans said. A Police Accountability Board wouldn’t necessarily improve police-community relations, he said, since the police union has fought the board’s creation.

“Whether or not this gets approved,” Evans said, “the community policing angle and the trust angle will still need to be built.”

City officials will have to be willing to spend money on community policing to ensure that it works, Evans said. The police chief will also have to be “as accessible to the community as possible,” he said, to assure the community that he’ll be fair, that problems will be thoroughly investigated, and that the department’s Professional Standards Section, which investigates civilian complaints against officers, will be “beyond reproach.”

The city is reinstating physical police section offices, which it disbanded in 2004, arguing that the move would save money. The RPD currently has section offices downtown (in the Sibley Building) and on North Clinton Avenue, and the city is planning three more: on East Main Street, on Lake Avenue, and in Bullshead.

Training The mayor and City Council can push for improved training and mentoring, especially in de-escalation techniques – learning how to remain calm and defuse volatile situations. When police interact with people in emotional situations, with people in a mental health crisis, with an emotional or frightened teenager, with people who distrust police, confrontations can escalate quickly.

The Warren administration agrees with the need for more de-escalation training, Yudelson said.

“We have had enough incidents that that’s an issue,” he said.

The Rev. Lewis Stewart, a civil rights advocate, wants the RPD to adopt a deescalation training program called ICAT (Integrating Communications, Assessment, and Tactics), which is designed to teach officers how to communicate and negotiate in volatile situations, even dangerous ones.

And, Stewart said, the RPD needs much stronger anti-racism training. “You can’t just invite a black person in to give a talk,” he said. continues on page 8

police reform continues from page 7

Police policies and procedures City Council’s proposed Police Accountability Board would have the authority to review and assess the RPD’s “patterns, practices, policies, and procedures” and recommend changes to the police chief.

But even without an accountability board, mayors can recommend those changes to the police chief.

For example, controversial RPD practices include “corner sweeps,” clearing groups of people on street corners or in front of businesses in inner-city neighborhoods. While some businesses request it, the practice is “clearly unconstitutional,” said John Klofas, professor of criminal justice at the Rochester Institute of Technology, and needs to be changed. And the mayor has the authority to recommend that change.

“That’s something we’ve looked at,” Yudelson said.

Two organizations that have long been involved in police reform efforts – United Christian Leadership Ministry, which the Rev. Stewart leads, and the Rochester Coalition for Police Reform – will also be pushing for additional measures. They want all RPD officers to have a\n annual psychological evaluation. And they want a panel of three civilians to participate in interviews of police officer candidates.

That would let civilians get a sense of the officers’ potential and share their thoughts with the police chief, Stewart said. “Civilian participation in the hiring of police is very necessary in this day and age,” he said.

Carlos Garcia, who retired from the RPD in 2008, emphasizes the need for a change in police culture. “Police officers often see themselves as warriors rather than guardians,” he said.

“It’s great to be in the black uniform,” he said. “It’s great to be in the SWAT Team. That should be about 5 percent of your job. You shouldn’t be in tactical mode all the time.”

Klofas pointed to what he said is the RPD’s insularity. There are progressive police chiefs and departments in other parts of the country, he said, but Rochester’s chiefs and its department tend not to interact with them. “The isolation of the Rochester police department is a problem,” he said.

Klofas also said the mayor and council members have to be willing to push for reform. “City government has never shown a willingness to stick its neck out on this business,” Klofas said.

8 CITY

OCTOBER 23 - 29, 2019

Changing state law Even when city officials do push, change isn’t guaranteed, thanks to protections provided by state law and the police union contract – and the solidarity that exists in a police department.

Former Rochester Mayor Bill Johnson cited several times when he was troubled by police officers’ actions but couldn’t get much information about those incidents.

“Even if you are a diligent mayor,” Johnson said, “you get pushed off.”

Proponents of a Police Accountability Board say only an independent, outside agency can bring about the changes that are needed.

To Johnson, one answer is repeal of a part of the state’s civil rights law known as Section 50-a. The law stipulates that personnel records of police, correction officers, and professional firefighters – records that “are used to evaluate performance toward continued employment or promotion” – are confidential.

That law, Johnson said, undermines the mayor’s authority over police, authority the mayor has with all other city employees. As a result, few people outside of the police department get information about the conduct of individual police officers. Even the mayor gets limited information, Johnson said.

“I’m not in any way minimizing the dangers police officers face,” Johnson said.

But, he said, “The cards can’t be stacked on the side of the police union.”

Police reform proponents have objected to Section 50-a for years, but the legislature has never been willing to overturn it. Bills to repeal 50-a were introduced in both the state Senate and Assembly during this past legislative session and are still being held in committee.

Johnson said he thinks the time for change may have come, because of the frequent allegations of police misconduct in Rochester and nationally. And the state legislature, he noted, is much less conservative than it has been in the past.

But, Johnson said, change will require broad support around the state. Rochester officials, he said, will need to go with representatives of other cities and tell state legislators that they need more tools to hold police officers accountable.

“I wouldn’t be just sitting on my hands,” Johnson said. “I would be trying to mobilize forces in the legislature. I would be really driving this point home in Albany.”

URBAN ACTION This week’s call to action includes the following events and activities. (All are free and open to the public unless otherwise noted.)

‘No More Tinkering’

The Coalition for Public Education, Great Schools for All, the South West Common Council Education Committee, and the College at Brockport are sponsoring a community-wide forum titled, “No More Tinkering,” to be held Tuesday, October 29 from 4 to 6 p.m. at Brockport Downtown: The College at Brockport, 161 Chestnut St., Rochester.

The forum will present and discuss the groups’ research-based recommendations for the Rochester City School District to more effectively help students develop. The gathering

will break into small groups to obtain feedback on the recommendations.

The recommendations emphasize, among other things, the creation of a Board of Education advisory board; the appointment of two “education facilitators”; establishing a policy to implement literacy standards in the earliest grades; assisting the superintendent in assembling a team of suburban superintendents who would help develop pilot inter-district magnet schools; converting socalled “comprehensive support and improvement schools” to community schools, and crafting a plan to eliminate institutional racism and intolerance.

The groups maintain that institutional racism has led to separate and unequal school

districts, poverty, family dysfunction, and student trauma, and that state “take-overs” of public school districts would not lead to student improvement.

Lucca Wood Fire Bistro is a Main Street staple in Victor that has been serving the community truly fantastic wood-fired specialty pizza, wings, sandwiches, and huge salads since 2011.Though Victor is only about 20 minutes from the center of Rochester, a lot of folks flinch when I say its

location. Some are not willing to schlep to the burbs (I learned this through numerous cancelled Tinder dates). Matthew Gervasi’s original Lucca now has a sister restaurant in the North Winton neighborhood, which offers a more expansive menu.

Lucca Kitchen & Cocktails is located on the corner or Merchants Road and Akron Street in the spot occupied by Remington’s Restaurant, which after 30 years in business shut down earlier this summer. Gervasi, with the help of his wife Jennifer and a team of contractors, began renovating the space in June, and they worked non-stop until opening day. Matthew planned on having a full cocktail menu, which meant updating the bar to accommodate this ambition.

Aesthetically, the dining area transitioned

from resembling an exclusive British Officer’s club to an urban Italian bistro.

Opened for business on September 10, Lucca Kitchen & Cocktails has creamy white walls with deep brown wood trim and navy blue accents that meet a more natural-looking wood floor. The Gervasis have managed to modernize and brighten up the space while still maintaining a mellow, neighborly aura about it. It is a casual eatery with class that fits right in with its surroundings.

Gervasi decided to open Lucca Kitchen & Cocktails in part to better exercise his craft, and with a larger kitchen, he has more opportunity to put his skills to the test.

Gourmet pizza and wings are not on the menu at Merchants Road. But to start, diners can choose from such dishes as crab dip

crostini, quattro formaggio arancini balls (four cheese arancini), veggie crudité, and garlic hummus.

And what better way for a restaurant to be neighborly than by naming entrees and salads after streets in the neighborhood? For example, the “Garson” is a kale salad with Kalamata olives, banana peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, and sunflower seeds, with a tahini dressing. Main dish “Humbolt” pairs chicken cooked in a lemon sherry wine sauce with sautéed spinach.

After perusing the menu for a long while, my party of three settled on the arancini balls ($12), an enjoyable shared starter that married the sharpness of the cheese with the mildness of the risotto into a lightly fried sphere of taste, topped with basil pesto sauce.

I could have been happy just eating a few orders of that, but there was no way I was going to pass up the day’s special, Shrimp Puttanesca ($26): pasta with shrimp, anchovies, hot cherry peppers, pine nuts, black olives, capers, and sprinkled with parsley, all tossed in a diavolo sauce that was spicy-hot perfection. Many times, I shy away from diavolo sauces I don’t make myself, as some seem to be made strictly to inflict pain. But I trusted Gervasi to maintain the rich basil and tomato flavor when making his sauce, and I was right. My meal was bold in taste with a spicy finish.

Another thing to note is that the menu boasts a decent selection of vegetarian options. The Monticello ($20) is grilled tofu with roasted heirloom tomatoes accented with a balsamic glaze. It’s a testament to Gervasi’s artistry that he can infuse abundant flavor into tofu, which is the Styrofoam of non-meat food options.

Additionally, if you like pasta but for some reason are watching your carb intake, the Farmington ($17) is a bed of fresh zucchini noodles, meatless tomato sauce, and vegan meatballs. All portions of entrees are plentiful, too, easily enough to bring home leftovers. Try as I might, I could not finish my puttanesca in one sitting, especially since I wanted one of the rotating desserts that they provide, made by Scratch Bakeshop ($6-$7), at the encouragement of Jennifer (as if I needed to be convinced). rochestercitynewspaper.com

Local jazz fusion sensation Vanishing Sun is about to release its third studio album, “64.”

The title track features a dense whirligig of electronic timbres swirling around the background, accompanied by tight jazz saxophone lines, as Zahyia’s soulful voice cuts through the mix with emotional confidence. The band trips you up with unexpected backbeats and fast-moving rhythms on “Foul Soulchild” and “Cosmic Serpent,” while “Fast Life” is a steady and calming acoustic tune.

Jack West ‘For the Record’ Self-released jackwestlive.com

Local fourteen-year-old prodigy Jack West collaborated with famed producer Barrett Jones at Laundry Room Studio in Seattle for his debut studio album, “For the Record,” released back in August. The eight-song album is an homage to old-school vinyl records, while West’s lyrics reflect the simultaneous feeling of jumping from the nest and being afraid of falling to the ground.

Jack West performs a seamless blend of rock, grunge, and psychedelia, wailing with agitated guitar solos in gritty tunes such as “Leave Us Behind” and “Into This Lifetime.” “Revival” and “Flower City” are a breath of fresh air, featuring brightly expansive backing harmonies and thunderous drum crashes.

Love and death Publick Musick

‘DIDO IN FRANCE AND ITALY’ SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27 LUTHERAN CHURCH OF THE INCARNATE WORD, 597 EAST AVENUE 3 P.M. | $20-$50; $10 STUDENTS/LOW INCOME; AGES 17 AND UNDER ARE FREE PUBLICKMUSICK.ORG [ FEATURE ] BY DAVID RAYMOND

Dido, Queen of Carthage, is one of the most memorable women in ancient lore, thanks to her appearance in Virgil’s “Aeneid.” Seduced and jilted by the Trojan War hero Aeneas, Dido took 12 CITY OCTOBER 23 - 29, 2019

her own life rather spectacularly, building her own funeral pyre and stabbing herself as she lay on it. But if Dido was only a temporary inspiration to Aeneas, she proved to be a much more lasting inspiration for composers of the Baroque era, who made her — specifically, her betrayal and death — the subject of many operas and cantatas.

The most famous example is probably the first great English opera, Henry Purcell’s “Dido and Aeneas,” but as Publick Musick’s Artistic Directors Boel Gidholm and Christopher Haritatos explain, there are hundreds of others from all over 17th and 18th-century musical Europe. “Dido in France and Italy,” the first

Publick Musick concert of the season — this Sunday afternoon at Lutheran Church of the Incarnate Word — offers examples in the form of chamber cantatas from France (Michel de Montéclair’s “La mort de Didon”) and Italy (Bernardo Pasquini’s “Sovra un’accesa pira”).

Directors of Publick Musick since 2011, Gidholm and Haritatos are also performers on Baroque violin and cello, respectively.

They see the group’s mission as bringing “underperformed” music to light, and Sunday’s concert will certainly do that. The featured composers may not be household names now,

but they were forces to be reckoned with in their day, and not just as composers.

Montéclair (1667-1737) was one of the first and most successful Parisian music publishers, and Pasquini (1637-1710) was an elite keyboardist. Montéclair’s cantata, “La mort de Didon,” has always been one of his most popular works; the Pasquini work is virtually unknown.

“We’re very excited by the chance to do the Pasquini piece,” Gidholm says. “If music was not written for a specific occasion, it was often not published at all.” At least the manuscript survived and was eventually published in a collected edition of Pasquini’s cantatas, where Gidholm encountered it.

As was common for Baroque-era chamber cantatas, each piece is about 10 to 15 minutes long, and is divided into a recitative (imitating the spoken word), an aria, and a freer, more fanciful arioso section. And as might be expected, the texts of the two works are similar, though a bit different in tone.

The French and Italian styles were both florid and virtuosic for the singer, though somewhat different in both ornamentation and temperament. To put it simply, the French approach to ornamentation is more abstract, with a language of trills, a different style of vibrato, and so on. Italian music tends more toward overt emotion and word painting, though Gidholm points out that Montéclair’s cantata includes a vivid instrumental section depicting a storm battering Aeneas’s ship.

Gidholm sums it up: “The French work ends with a moral for the audience: ‘Don’t fall in love,’ ” she says. “The Italian work ends with the tragic passion of Dido’s death.” The soprano in both works is Madeline Apple Healey, making her Rochester debut with this concert.

The two Dido cantatas will be complemented by several chamber works from various composers. The most famous of them, Italy’s Arcangelo Corelli, was one of the most popular and influential composers throughout Europe. In addition, there’s a cello sonata by another Italian Baroque giant, Francesco Geminiani — a work that Haritatos describes as “quirky and wonderful” — as well as compositions by Alessandro Stradella, Élisabeth-Claude Jacquet de la Guerre, and François Couperin. All are intended as a lighter counterpoint to the drama of the Dido cantatas. For the chamber works, Gidholm and Haritatos will be joined by violinist Mary Riccardi, harpsichordist Naomi Gregory, and lutenist Deborah Fox. These varied composers may be intriguingly interrelated, Gidholm says, “but each of them is a unique and inventive musical voice.” rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 13

FOLK | DAVID WAX MUSEUM

David Wax, one-half of the core duo of David Wax Museum, sings and plays the jarana, a type of guitar. His wife Suz Slezak plays the fiddle, provides vocal harmonies, and sometimes plays the quijada, a percussive instrument that’s similar to a vibraslap, but it’s actually a donkey’s jawbone. It may seem unconventional but it works. That’s because David Wax Museum adds joy to traditional folk, creating a Mexo-Americana soundtrack, which would be at home on either side of the border.

OUR PROCESS

WELCOME

TO THE TOP

[ INTRODUCTION ] BY DANIEL J. KUSHNER Hey there, CITY readers. The results for our annual scavenger hunt are in. We asked you to respond to our 2019 Best of Rochester readers’ poll with your favorite people, places, and things as you’ve explored our fine region, and you delivered. More than 15,000 people filled out the final ballot, which covered 100 individual categories. Every week throughout the year, we at CITY point out vital news and important points of interest for you to check out, and the annual poll is your chance to weigh in on what matters to you.

The area is a wealth of cultural riches, from a diverse food scene and beautiful destinations to eclectic small businesses and knowledgeable connoisseurs. In short, Rochester is prime territory for discovering what was previously unknown to you. And if you need some recommendations, Best of Rochester is a smart place to start.

In addition to the final poll results, this issue includes left-of-center responses from readers’, primary ballots, as well as our annual critics’ picks. This year, Frank De Blase, Renée Heininger, Kathy Laluk, Katie Preston, Leah Stacy, and Chris Thompson share their choices for beloved and peculiar locales, influential citizens, and under-the-radar businesses you won’t find listed in the readers’ poll results.

If you want to voice your thoughts on the readers’ poll, suggest a new category, or give us any feedback at all, comment on this article at rochestercitynewspaper.com, or find us on Twitter and Instagram (@ROCCITYNEWS) and Facebook (FACEBOOK.COM/CITYNEWSPAPER).

CITY’s annual Best of Rochester poll is a readers’ poll, meaning all of the finalists, and the winners, were chosen solely by our readers.

CITY Newspaper operates only as a tabulator and gatekeeper.

The open primary ballot, which is refined every year based on editorial recommendations and reader suggestions in order to improve the survey, opened Wednesday, August 21, and ran through Friday, September 13. Survey-takers wrote in whatever people, places, and things they thought were the best in each of the 100 categories.

A team of CITY employees then go through and count the literally thousands of responses for the top four — or more, on occasion, if a tie occurs — most-nominated in each category. We disqualify votes only if they’re for non-regional chains, they don’t fit the category, or they’re clearly the result of ballot stuffing.

The Final 4 were then put on the final ballot, which ran Wednesday, September 25, through Wednesday, October 16, readers voted, and the winners were kept secret until this Best of Rochester issue.

Have any questions about how we conduct our Best of Rochester poll? Feel free to email us at themail@rochester-citynews.com or tweet us, @roccitynews.

CRITIC'S PICK BEST BATHROOM:

LOCALS ONLY

The larger Locals Only bathroom (311 Alexander Street) is a work of retro art. I would normally be turned off by a square toilet and seat. Butts are typically round, so why a square seat? Is this some sort of back-ended homage to brutalism? Also, the black-andwhite lines on the adjoining walls make me feel like Max Headroom in a cola commercial. This is obviously the work of an android that has been impersonating a human interior designer. I’m sure the android in question was shut down in 1984 and was JUST rebooted in the last two years. I think 1984, because the giant eye on the fogged glass wall is a bit Orwellian. Also, nice touch: the giant eye is on a glass wall that faces the most public parking lot, yet no one can peer in. Once you take all this in, it is unexpectedly serene. The light from the window keeps the bathroom bright like a summer day.

Locals Only’s loo is also the most photogenic bathroom, as I have seen more bathroom selfies against the Max Headroom wall than in any other bathroom in Rochester. So kudos to you, designing robot overlord, for constructing a bathroom that conjures nostalgia for a time when Coke was all about catching a wave while providing local patrons the perfect backdrop for their Instagram selfies. Now if you could do something about the amount of NON-locals who trespass in Locals Only... localsonly311.com — BY CHRIS THOMPSON rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 21

CRITIC'S PICK

STORE I MOST WANT TO LIVE IN:

TUPELO INTERIORS

There’s a certain risk that comes with sharing a hiddengem vintage shop with the world. I might fall in love with a one-of-a-kind piece I spot online while sipping coffee in my jammies Saturday morning, while unbeknownst to me, a lucky neighbor scoops it up hours before me. Or I might be saving up for a special light fixture (hands off, Brenda) that disappears weeks before I can make it happen. But I just adore Tupelo Interiors so much that I have to share the love.

Tupelo Interiors, located at 215 Norris Drive, has been open just a year, but I’m kicking myself for not having stopped in sooner. Owner Ron Weinstein has an eye for retro furnishings and an obvious knack for interior design. This is no dusty junk shop, where you’ll spend hours poring over rows of knick-knacks, though that activity has its charms, too. Tupelo Interiors is a highly curated space full of vintage furnishings and housewares, from classic Lane Rhythm end tables to Scandinavian shag, cocktail sets and mid-century artwork.

But don’t expect inflated downstate prices. On a recent visit, Weinstein told me, “I don’t want this place to be a museum.” I could find something to take home every time I’m in there, and be able to afford it, too. Just keep your hands off my light fixture, please. tupelointeriors.com

When I went to Fifth Frame Brewing (155 Saint Paul Street) on 4/20 with my husband and siblings-in-law, it was mostly just a fun Saturday morning to hang out. Sure, we were interested in the uber-hoppy, dank beer they had brewed specially for the celebratory cannabis day.

What we didn’t know is they had also added special menu food items, including what is now my favorite: Maxxx Hash.

The kitchen took their already delicious potato carrot hash and topped it with maple sausage, cheese, and a fried egg. The sweetness from the carrots, against the saltiness of the cheese and the runny egg yolk, was simply glorious. Every time we went back, we would ask for it again. Alas, it was initially a “one day only” special. But then, one Saturday, it showed up on the menu as a permanent item. The kitchen is constantly testing new burgers and updating their menu, and I can’t wait to see what’s in store next year. fifthframe.co

CITY DEVELOPMENT AND GENTRIFICATION | MCC FACULTY NO CONFIDENCE VOTE | ROBERT MORGAN

Parcel 5 has continued to be a hot button issue in local news, and there’s no young city resident more vocal — or more associated with — the parcel than Steve Carter, a 20-something with more than 52,000 followers on Instagram. Whether there’s a city council meeting about the future of the parcel, a festival happening onsite, or an art installation like the recent Current Seen exhibition, Carter is either posting about, can be found at, or tagged in media surrounding the activity.

He’s a huge supporter of Parcel 5 becoming a green space and makes his stance no secret, consistently presenting research and comparisons from other cities with similar parcels. Carter, along with local designer Justin Dusett, is also one of the founders of Explore Rochester, an Instagram account that spotlights the writing, photos and perspective of a different Rochester resident each week. By day, he’s a social media manager and digital evangelist for Kodak. His dedication to this city’s future is fierce and genuine; it’s no wonder his friends have nicknamed him “Mayor Steve.” instagram.com/stevecarter

ROCHESTER RED WINGS Even though Twitter and Facebook can be a bit of a Dumpster fire a good chunk of the time, there are definitely bright spots. One of the best examples of that in the past year has to be the Rochester Red Wings’ social media presence and responses. After announcing the first-ever Red Wings Pride Night, the team’s Facebook and Twitter pages were bombarded with hate-filled vitriol. But the Wings’ social media manager (or managers) rose above it, responding with class and a bit of sass, and shutting down the haters in their tracks.

In the end, the Wings got the last laugh, as the promotion made the game one of the highest-attended of the season (I went, and I saw what felt like literally everyone I knew in Rochester there). I’m also a sucker for anything animal-related, so their love letters, pictures and videos from Milo the Bat Dog is the Twitter content I’m here for. They even took shots at the whole Popeyes Chicken Sandwich debate, showing off a pic of the team’s own Chicken and Waffle cone. Plus, the Red Wings’ GIF game is on point. 10 out of 10 would follow. @RocRedWings

BEST ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT CRITIC'S PICK BEST TELEPHONE POLE FOR SHAMELESS BAND PROMOTION:

MEIGS ST. & SOUTH CLINTON AVENUE If telephone poles could talk, the one on the corner of Meigs and South Clinton would tell you some wild stories. Instead, show fliers being tacked on top of show fliers have done the talking for this silent giant over the years. Adorned with mangled packing tape, layers of wheat paste, nails, and staples, this pole has been the target of many a drive-by sticking.

All these tattered bits of memorabilia and their adhesive counterparts are like the pole’s battle wounds, evidence of steadfast and vigilant support of the local music scene. On a telephone pole like this, you can quite literally peel back the layers of Rochester’s music scene and find out more than you ever thought you wanted to know. It’s free promotion on one of the busier intersections in Rochester, and what does it ask for in return? Absolutely nothing.

There are myriad categories featuring food in the Best of Rochester awards, but nothing about the people growing (and supplying) local ingredients behind the scenes. Several years ago, Macedon resident Eric Houppert made the jump from graphic designer to farmhand at Mud Creek Farms in Victor. After spending a few years apprenticing, he founded his own five-acre farm, Deep Root Farm, at 2870 West Walworth Road in Macedon.

Houppert, who’s both a millennial and a young dad, often posts about his journey on social media, partners with influencers, and connects with people face-to-face at the Brighton Farmers’ Market every Sunday. Houppert has his own Deep Root merchandise and partners with local restaurants to get produce in front of a wider audience. His veggies have been used in dishes at Fiorella, Bar Bantam, and Radio Social, to name a few. While farming is sometimes looked at as a doomed career choice for a 30-something, Houppert is proving that persistent hard work plants a seed that grows into success. deeprootfarm.com

BEST IDEAS FOR PARCEL 5 The powers that be and the powers that wanna be all want to secure Parcel 5 in downtown Rochester for their own use. Fans of an open space have made it clear that whenever a-doins’ a-happenin’, like the Fringe Festival or the Rochester International Jazz Festival, they’d like the parcel to be flooded with people. It all comes down to money. But to those who want to build housing on Parcel 5, why not amp up the thrills instead and consider these few humble suggestions to make Parcel 5 Thrive?

Make it home for a huge trampoline or a trapeze.

How about a boxing ring, or a Civil War reenactment?

And demolition derbies are always lots of fun.

I’ve got more ideas, too: a petting zoo for the kids; a life-size chess tournament; full-contact jart games; a weekly dance performance of “Thriller,” like those Filipino inmates did; and last but not least, music, music, music.

Theater

Laron Dewberry (foreground), Tahina McPherson, and Ashona Pulliam (background) in “Detroit ‘67” at Blackfriars Theatre. Inset: Dewberry as Lank and Pulliam as Chelle. PHOTOS BY RON HEERKENS JR.

Reminders from the past “Detroit ‘67” REVIEWED FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18 CONTINUES THROUGH NOVEMBER 3 BLACKFRIARS THEATRE, 795 EAST MAIN STREET TICKETS START AT $36.50 | 454-1260; BLACKFRIARS.ORG [ REVIEW ] BY LEAH STACY

The year was 1967, it was a hot July, and Detroit was on fire. Riots, instigated by the white Detroit police force, were happening all over the city as the African American residents fought to defend their homes and businesses.

A violent five-day streak resulted in 1,000 burned buildings, more than 7,000 arrests, and 43 deaths. This national news also led to riots in other cities and was a driving force in the Black Power movement.

Playwright Dominique Morisseau recreates a fictional story within this historical time in

her play, “Detroit ‘67,” which is being staged at Blackfriars Theatre through November 3.

It’s a sobering follow-up to the saccharine season opener “Guys and Dolls,” but — disappointingly — the theater was not nearly as full on opening night of “Detroit ‘67.”

The plot surrounds Lank (Laron Dewberry) and Chelle (Ashona Pulliam), siblings who are running an underground nightclub in the basement of their downtown Detroit home. The two have inherited the house from their deceased parents, and are using the money from the nightclub to pay college tuition for Chelle’s son, who is attending the prestigious Tuskegee University. Helping with the cause is Lank’s best friend, Sly (Aceyon Owens), and Chelle’s best friend, Bunny (Tahina McPherson). When Sly and Lank find an injured white girl, Caroline (Melanie McBride), on the black side of town and bring her home to Chelle for help, it kindles a series of events leading up to the riots.

J. Simmons, who has been onstage frequently in the past few years at Blackfriars (including as Sky Masterson in “Guys and Dolls” last month), directs the production, and his attention to important details and pivotal moments is keenly felt throughout the two-and-a-half hour show. The small cast

of five, mostly new faces for Blackfriars, stayed focused and character-driven for the run, even when a surprise guest (a mouse the Blackfriars crew has dubbed “Stubby”) popped up and ran around the stage in the middle of a weighty scene between Lank and Caroline.

Though it’s hard sometimes to tell whose story the play is telling, Pulliam clearly leads the cast as the cautious, motherly Chelle. Her emotional transformation is powerful, and her energy lends spotlight to other members of the cast in ways that a true leading character should. Opposite her as younger brother Lank, Dewberry is at once charming and reckless, saving Caroline in many ways even as he spends away his inheritance on a whim. The chemistry between him and McBride is palpable, and McBride’s waifish, fearful Caroline blooms in the light of Dewberry’s warmth. Seemingly the youngest in the cast, McBride holds her own during several weighty emotional scenes.

With her fabulous bouffant wig (designed

by Adriana Lipomi) and quippy timing, McPherson is the quintessential sidekick, there to drink wine and talk Chelle down as best friend Bunny. As Lank’s best friend Sly, Owens is a ray of light to the siblings, there to romance Chelle with Motown tunes when she allows it, and to dream big with Lank. His contagious stage presence takes the entire cast up a notch whenever he is present.

Set design — which is the entire basement of Lank and Chelle’s house —

by Allen Wright Shannon is impressive, encompassing the hominess of a family dwelling, with expert finishing touches by props master John Engel in the art, furniture styles, knickknacks and even the style of the washer and dryer. There’s plenty to look at throughout the show, and it’s a set that’s functional enough to give the actors natural blocking and movement through the many dialogue-heavy scenes. Rounding out the set’s colorful pops is Katherine McCarthy’s costume design, worthy of emulation even for today.

During each scene change blackout, newspaper clippings from the era are projected on screen, a reminder that while the story onstage may be fictional, the riots of 1967 were very real, and they are soberingly reminiscent of recent police brutality headlines. While “Detroit ‘67” is not the most uplifting night out, its strong performances, historical content, and a distinct relevance to current events make for an impactful experience. rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 35

Arts & Performance Art Exhibits

ART BY SYLVIA TAYLOR

ART | SYLVIA TAYLOR

FILM | ‘BLACULA’

Ithaca-based artist Sylvia Taylor’s mixed media work incorporates relief prints, paintings, and drawings, and at first seem like simple, playful renderings of animals and humans. But each being serves as a touchstone for the way ahead through longing, loss, and the less familiar paths to come. Taylor’s new solo exhibition, “The Time Between the Dog and the Wolf,” opened this month at Clifton Springs’ Main Street Arts, and includes dozens of intricate, large pieces as well as a “Pink Cloud” of smaller works with just one or two figures in each frame. In a provided statement, Taylor says the exhibition titled refers to between states of real or metaphoric obscurity, “when the veil is a little thinner. You sense things that you can’t see and I like that space,” she says.

The Baobab Cultural Center is bringing back an old-school cult classic this week with a screening of “Blacula,” William Crain’s 1972 time-traveling-romance-fantasy-horror flick. When 18th century African prince Mamuwalde (William Marshall) is sent to Transylvania to ask Dracula’s help in thwarting the slave trade, the fanged jerk instead transforms him into a creature of the night and locks him in a coffin. That casket makes its way to Los Angeles where it’s purchased by an unsuspecting couple, and Blacula is released. He proceeds to rip through the city in pursuit of a modern-day woman he believes is the reincarnation of his wife.

The exhibition continues through Friday, November 15, at Main Street Arts Gallery, 20 West Main Street, Clifton Springs.

Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Taylor will give an artist talk at the close of the exhibition on Saturday, November 16, at 1 p.m. Free. 315-462-0210; mainstreetartscs.org.

FAMILY | ‘SPOOKY SWEET TOOTH SCIENCE’

Whenever actual Halloween night falls on a weekday, it gives us license to celebrate from the weekend before through the weekend after. Those are just the rules. And since it falls on a Thursday this year, both this weekend and next are fair game for spooky celebrations. On Friday, October 25, Rochester Museum & Science Center will host an all-ages event in its Family Fun Nights series, which end right before bedtime (usually PJs are welcome, this time costumes are encouraged).

“Spooky Sweet Tooth Science” lets kids loose in the museum, and features a trick-or-treating Halloween Parade through the museum at 6 p.m. and two hands-on workshops. Candy Chemistry uses sweet treats to teach about molecule structure, solubility, and more; Chocolate Factory includes experiments to make and take home. Visitors can also make masks, monsters, and reusable trick-or-treating bags at crafting stations, and meet “spooky” animals in the Carlson Inquiry Room. Donuts, cider, and other snacks will be provided.

Friday, October 25, 5:30 to 9 p.m. at Rochester Museum and Science Center, 657 East Avenue. Tickets are $25 per person ($20 for members), pre-registration is encouraged. 697-1942; rmsc.org.

Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson in “The Lighthouse.” PHOTO COURTESY A24

Blinded by the light(house) “The Lighthouse” (R), DIRECTED BY ROBERT EGGERS OPENS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25 [ PREVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

Robert Eggers’ first feature, 2015’s “The Witch” was a horror film steeped in 17th century folklore, so much that it felt like the sort of tale Puritans might tell to scare each other out of straying off the righteous path.

As a filmmaker, Eggers has an attention to detail that creates an immersive quality to his stories, giving off the feeling that we’re slowly sinking into his mad world right along with the characters. Even those who don’t necessarily enjoy his films would be hardpressed to say they aren’t, at the very least, triumphs of mood and atmosphere.

The bonkers, bleak, and darkly humorous fable “The Lighthouse,” is his latest; a blackand-white fever dream that follows two lighthouse keepers on their slow descent into madness on a remote island outpost.

The film begins as Ephraim Winslow (Pattinson) arrives on that mysterious island in what appears to be New England sometime in the 1890s, though the film never specifies.

He’s there for a four-week stint, hoping to earn some fast money working under crusty old sea dog Thomas Wake (Dafoe, doing his best impression of the Sea Captain from “The Simpsons”), the coarse and flatulent senior wickie, or lighthouse keeper.

While Winslow takes on the back-breaking manual labor, Wake takes the less physically intensive night shift (though always holding off sleep long enough to bark his critiques of Winslow’s work). He sleeps through the day

to keep the light at night, manning the beacon for any passing ships. Wake never allows Winslow to see what lies at the top of the tower, holding tight the key that allows him access to the room and the secrets it contains.

During their rare downtime, Wake regales Thomas with meandering tales of sea monsters, mermaids, and the occasional sea shanty. They drink horrific looking concoctions made of what appears to be honey and kerosene to stave off the doldrums. “Boredom makes men to villains,” Wake warns darkly.

We eventually learn that his last assistant died, shortly after he went stark-raving mad.

And seeing the isolation the men endure, alone on a barren pile of rocks, with nothing but salt water and fog surrounding them, it’s not hard to see why.

The two men bicker and snipe at one another incessantly, and tempers flare with

only the disconcertingly intrusive seagulls for company on their desolate pile of rocks. But as much of a nuisance as the birds can be, Wake insists that it’s bad luck to kill one, claiming they carry within them the souls of sailors who’ve died at sea.

Paranoia and madness burble up slowly in the men, then with an unstoppable force as it mixes with their deeply embedded rage and guilt.

As they lose their already tenuous grip of reality, the film dips into the surreal — appropriate for a story that’s shot through with moments of mythic grandeur and Lovecraftian horror.

Eggers’ meticulous filmmaking craft is always on display. Cinematographer Jarin Blaschke shoots on 35mm, using mostly natural light. The stark black-and-white photography captures every textured detail, tossing us down into the gloom and the muck. The expressionist shadows add to the silent film theatricality of the story, and the boxy 4:3 aspect ratio emphasizes a sense of claustrophobia. You can practically feel the salty sea air and the dank, noxious smell of booze and stale old farts inside the whitewashed walls of the lighthouse.

There’s also the impeccable sound design.

The roaring winds and waves, incessant foghorns and sharp screeches of gulls in the distance. Layered above it all is the unnervingly discordant score from Mark Korven, cultivating an air of intense unease.

“The Lighthouse” sits comfortably within the recent trend of films that plumb the psyches of men, and drudge up all manner of insanity.

Lonely and horny, Winslow and Wake alternate between seemingly wanting to tear each other to shreds, kiss, or violently screw. In its way, “The Lighthouse” is its own sort of love story.

Just what exactly it all means is never made explicitly clear. Its deeply strange and mesmerizing mania doesn’t make “The Lighthouse” the most commercial or broadly appealing time at the movies. I can see the film driving many audience members as batty as its characters, but just as many (myself included) will undoubtedly fall under its hypnotic spell.

FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home.

There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.

We are attempting to collect a debt. Any information obtained will be used for that purpose. The foregoing summons is served upon you by publication pursuant to an order of the Honorable J. Scott Odorisi, J.S.C. dated September 24, 2019.
