Immanuel Baptist and the changes in the climate

On October 8, the International Panel on Climate Change released a report that summarized the findings of thousands of scientists from over 120 countries. The report delivered earth-shattering news that unless we make dramatic changes in the way that we live on this planet by 2030, we will likely reach a point of no return, forever harming the environment in ways that threaten human existence. Somehow, this report was received as just another political football and was soon buried under headlines around the ridiculous barrage of tweets and name-calling that passes for government now. It is mind-boggling to me that such a report has not shaken us all to the very core and shifted our priorities to reflect this imminent reality. I am grateful, however, to serve as the minister at Immanuel Baptist Church on Park Avenue, where that shift has been made. Upon prayerful reflection and discussion, we are resolved to intentionally multiply our efforts toward environmental stewardship, not only as individuals but also as a neighborhood church. Already, we encourage folks to walk or bike to services and events in our space. In the next few months, we will be researching such things as installing a charging station for electric cars in the parking lot, adding solar panels 2 CITY

to the roof, and inviting local experts in to speak on environmental topics. As people of faith, we embrace the wisdom of the scientific world, and we will be intentionally doing our part to reclaim a respectful and healing relationship to our shared earth. If anyone has thoughts on how our church building can be used to model sustainability for others, we would love to hear your ideas. THE REV. WENDY FAMBRO

What’s next at the Port?

On the announcement that the city is seeking new proposals for development at the Port of Rochester: When I see new

construction, I’m amazed at how fast these buildings go up. But if the wrong thing is in the wrong place, a failed structure can languish for years. No need to cite examples. With this small piece of land that probably should be developed into something, what we don’t want in a few years is a failing, subsidized embarrassment that nobody can afford to demolish. This time, maybe we should instead go small. It’s better to try something and learn what works. We want the next iteration to be based on knowledge from actual experience. MICHAEL BRUTON

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Yet another crisis for Rochester’s schools Here we go again, starting the search for a new superintendent for Rochester’s schools. I hope everybody in the district realizes how really awful the situation is. It’s easy to dump on this district, and lots of people do. Some of them know what they’re talking about; many of them don’t. But this is no time for defensiveness or face-saving. Superintendent Barbara Deane-Williams’ decision to retire – which she announced in the middle of the night – is simply one more symptom of the district’s failures. This district has some terrible challenges, including an extraordinarily high student poverty rate. But the current crisis has nothing to do with poverty. It has to do with management. And personnel. And district leaders – board members, administrators, union leaders – haven’t done a good job dealing with either. It’s not that they haven’t known what’s wrong. Multiple studies over the years have detailed the problems. But they persist. And now this board, whose members are frequently sharply critical of one another, has to start looking for a new superintendent. That won’t be easy, because board members don’t even agree about their own role. Some of them want to be closely involved in district operations. Others believe their job is to set policy, hold the superintendent accountable for following it, and otherwise stay out of the way. Deane-Williams is leaving at the end of January, six months before the end of her first term. Her immediate predecessor, Bolgen Vargas, left six months before the end of his first term. In both cases, the resignations were preceded by months of tension, on the board and between the board and the superintendent. Deane-Williams’ resignation isn’t the only bad news hitting the district this fall. A recent consultant’s report attacked the district’s budgeting practices. Any day now, Jaime Aquino, the state-appointed Distinguished Educator, will release his assessment of the district’s operations, and board members say they’ve been told it’ll be a harsh one. Aquino has told board members that his report will touch on problems he has found throughout the district. I

Superintendent Barbara Deane-Williams’ decision to retire – announced in the middle of the night – is simply one more symptom of the district’s failures.” hope so. Because clearly, the problems in the district are system-wide. And leaders throughout this district have been awfully good at blaming others but not so good at admitting – and correcting – the faults in their own area. It’s way past time for individual leaders to focus on fixing the problems they’re responsible for fixing – and for them to start cooperating and helping one another. There are multiple tragedies in all this, starting with the students, who are being deprived of the education they need and to which they are guaranteed. Also being hurt are the many, many district employees who go to work every day determined to do the best job they can in the service of Rochester children and their families. Their efforts, and their reputations, are being dragged down with that of the district. Many people within the district still believe in it – or at least believe in their own mission in the district – and are working themselves into exhaustion for it, despite the abuse the public heaps on them. Some people in the community still believe in the district, and they continue to work in organizations focused on children and education, trying to help. All that is at risk now. Too many people in the community have lost faith in the district, and slow increases in graduation rates won’t restore it. A school district with little public support is a school district in very deep trouble. rochestercitynewspaper.com

The Little reopens its Theatre 1

The Little Theatre’s historic Theater 1 will reopen to the public on Thursday, October 25, following restoration and renovations that kept it closed since late May. New seating was installed to match the Art Deco style of the original 1929 seats, and cup holders have been added on the back of the chairs. A new stage was installed that will support additional kinds of events, and a west side gallery was created. Technological upgrades will increase options for recording live events, and an energy-efficient LED lighting system and new projection and Dolby 7.1 equipment were installed. Additional renovations to the building are planned to begin in 2019. This next phase will include an expansion of the lobby into the side storefronts. This will improve ticket queuing, shift the concessions area to the east storefront, and create a lounge in the inner lobby. In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, a new elevator will provide access to all floors of the building. Plans also include ren-

Micciche joins the Dems

County Legislator Tony Micciche has left the Republican Party and is now a Democrat. Micciche represents the 26th Legislative District, which covers parts of Gates, Greece, and northwest Rochester. He’ll caucus with the Democrats, but even with him, they’ll have only 12 members in the 29-seat legislature, so they’re still a long way from the majority. Micciche ran against Mayor Lovely Warren in the last year’s election, a Democrat, and some of his positions were anathema to the Democratic platform. After the Democratic Party announced his switch, not all of its members were ready to welcome him. Yversha Roman, the leader of the 26th Legislative District Democratic Committee who ran against Micciche for the Lej seat, sent out a statement attacking him for “years of bashing our values and attacking young African American and Latino youth.”

Rochester school board seeking another chief

Rochester schools Superintendent Barbara Deane-Williams is leaving six months before the expiration of her contract. FILE PHOTO

The Rochester school board is preparing to look for a replacement for Superintendent Barbara Deane-Williams, who announced last week that she is retiring on January 31, 2019, six months before the end of her three-year contract. Her announcement ends months of speculation about her future with the district and whether she would complete her contract or seek another term. In a press conference the day after her announcement, board President Van White said the board will immediately begin seeking an interim superintendent to take over while the board conducts a search for Deane-Williams’ successor. He praised Deane-Williams, saying she should be recognized for her cultural sensitivity and push for racial equity. Deane-Williams informed the school board at about 11:30 p.m. on October 18, following its monthly meeting. And she issued a public announcement a few minutes after that. Deane-Williams has had strong supporters on the board, but she’s also faced serious criticism from others, and the board had been discussing replacing her.

She joined the district as superintendent in August 2016, following Bolgen Vargas’ departure. She immediately embarked on a year-long “listening tour” that was intended to give her a fresh and unvarnished look at the district. She also embraced a less punitive approach to student discipline and improving school climate. But her tenure has also been a difficult one, with yet another scathing consultant’s report on the district’s special education program and the death of 12-year-old Trevyan Rowe, whose failure to get to class wasn’t noticed until late in the day he disappeared. Deane-Williams’ announcement comes shortly before what are expected to be harsh reports about the district by distinguished educator Jaime Aquino and the state attorney general’s office. Although Deane-Williams’ decision seemed abrupt to many people, at a press conference the next day she insisted that it wasn’t. “I let the board know that I wasn’t going to seek another term,” Deane-Williams said. Most board members, however, had assumed that she would complete her contract rather than leave in the middle of the school year.

Spectrum recently changed the channels that carry local public access channels. And local station managers say the change, which they claim happened without warning, has been confusing to viewers. They want Spectrum to move the stations back to channels 12 and 15.

MEDIA | BY JEREMY MOULE

Channel changes spark a fight For 26 years, East Rochester residents have been able to watch local government meetings, golf instruction, and cooking programming on channels 12 and 15, all of it produced by their neighbors. They’ve also been able to tune in to Bombers football games, which are a big deal in the tight-knit village. But this past spring, Spectrum sprang a big change on the station by moving it to channels 1301 and 1303. The people at ERCN are still creating and transmitting the same content, but now the station is found past the big premium networks and closer to the Playboy channel than WXXI’s main programming. Spectrum made this shift across its territory: Rochester, Penfield, and Irondequoit are dealing with it, as are Buffalo and Lockport in Niagara County. And the folks who operate the stations are not happy about the change, which they say happened without adequate notice to them or the viewers. “People don’t know where to find us, so we’re slowly losing viewership,” says John Schroth, station director for ERCN, East Rochester’s community access channel. The station also serves the Village of Fairport, Perinton, and Pittsford. The East Rochester village board recently passed a resolution asking the state Public Service Commission to force Spectrum to

move the stations back. Spectrum is legally required to provide public access channels to the communities it serves, and the Public Service Commission regulates New York’s cable companies. The Village of Fairport passed a similar resolution earlier this month, Pittsford is planning to pass one, and Perinton officials plan to write the PSC, says Schroth. County Legislator Howard Maffucci, who represents part of East Rochester, is also working on a memorandum from the County Legislature in support of the channels. Schroth and Penfield Community TV director David Renner say the move is just another example of Spectrum treating the public access channels differently from other local broadcasters. Spectrum matches local network affiliates with their over-theair channels, so WROC is on channel 8, WHEC is on channel 10, WHAM is on channel 13; WXXI is grouped with the local networks on channel 11, though its over-the-air channel is 21.1. The public access channels are also forced to broadcast in standard definition, with mono – not stereo – audio, which undermines the channels’ credibility with the public, Renner says. Schroth says now is a good time to press the issue because of the PSC’s ongoing proceedings involving Spectrum and its

parent company, Charter Communications. The state has revoked its approval of the merger between Charter and Time Warner Cable, which birthed Spectrum. State officials argue that the new corporation failed to fulfill commitments to expand broadband internet service in the state. Company representatives and state officials have since been in talks. Spectrum spokesperson Lara Pritchard says the shift mirrors what the company has

done in other markets “serving millions of customers.” She also says that the company notified the public-access stations and sent customers a letter, along with an updated channel lineup. “Customers tell us they like grouping channels by theme because it makes them easier to find, and it also reflects how people watch TV today,” Pritchard said in an e-mailed response to questions.

RBTL theater site moves to the riverfront The Rochester Broadway Theatre League will get its new theater, if its fundraising is successful, but it won’t be on Parcel 5. Instead, it’ll be by the river, part of a large, $250 million multi-use complex on the site of the former Radisson Riverside Hotel on East Main Street, across the street from the Riverside Convention Center. Mayor Lovely Warren presented the plan at a press conference Tuesday morning. In addition to a 3,000-seat theater used principally by RBTL, the complex will include a smaller theater with about 500 to 800 seats, available for use by other organizations. There will also be a new hotel with about 250 rooms, which will replace the current hotel; about 200 residential units; restaurant and retail space; and a garage serving all of the uses.

New RBTL theater could boost all arts venues, consultant says News about a new location for a downtown Broadway theater came on the heels of a consultant’s report saying that the theater would help, not hurt, other local arts organizations. The city commissioned that report, by AMS Planning and Research, after arts groups said they feared that a large new 6 CITY

OCTOBER 24 - 31, 2018

theater for Broadway shows would detract from their own audiences and from their donor support. The AMS report, which was released last week, disagreed, citing the experience of several other cities where new performance theaters had been built. All boats would rise with the new theater, AMS said.

In its study, AMS interviewed representatives of nearly a dozen of the city’s arts organizations and venues, including Blackfriars, the Strong National Museum of Play, Geva, the Eastman School of Music, and the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. What AMS heard wasn’t much different than

what critics have said since arts-center discussions began. Some arts leaders were concerned about competition for audience and philanthropic dollars. Others said a 3000-seat theater would be too large for them to use, and some said that a performing arts center should support the needs of a larger cross-


section of local arts and cultural groups. While it’s not possible to forecast exactly how RBTL’s new theater would financially impact other arts venues, Steven Wolff, a principal with AMS, says, AMS found some reassuring information concerning the arts and culture community in Rochester. Over the last five years, most of Rochester’s venues have been generally healthy, and revenue has grown. A key feature of that growth is that almost half of it came in the form of earned revenue, such as ticket sales and concessions. And while “contributed income” – money from private donors and public funds – accounts for slightly more than half of their revenue, there’s a healthy balance. Rochester’s arts and cultural community isn’t over-reliant on philanthropy, Wolff says. “Overall, there’s been real growth in the market,” Wolff says. “Revenue from 2011 to 2017 increased by about 20 percent.” AMS also examined metro markets similar to Rochester that have built a theater to support touring productions. The markets – Dayton, Ohio; Durham, North Carolina; Omaha, Nebraska; and St. Paul, Minnesota – all have theaters built since 2003. The arts organizations in the individual markets have had different financial pictures, but altogether they did well, AMS said. In the three years prior to the theaters opening, the arts organizations in those cities saw an increase in revenue that’s generally the result of buzz about a new theater “opening soon.” In the three years after the theaters were open, the groups’ revenue continued to increase. And while arts organizations’ expenses increased in three of the four markets after the new theaters opened, revenue growth more than outpaced it. It’s not unusual for non-profits of almost every type to be hyperconcerned about competition for funding, Wolff says. Arts and cultural organizations should be considered as a single system, not a group of competitors, Wolff says, and they’ll all benefit if they collaborate. But they need to begin collaborating right now, well in advance of the theater’s opening, he says. And they all need to have a clear understanding of the Rochester market so that niche and new audiences can be captured, Wolff says.

AMS said the area needs to develop a long-term strategy for funding arts and culture, as other cities have done. Markets like Denver, Pittsburgh, and Mesa, for instance, have created tax plans or endowments to support the arts in those cities, the AMS report notes. But as important as that would be for the long-term health of the arts and cultural community in Rochester, something like that would require a tax increase and a cooperative effort between

the city and the county. And the chance of that happening seems unlikely. While the AMS consultants say that a new RBTL theater can be viable, and that the local arts community is strong, some concerns remain. For instance, the AMS consultants may not appreciate how small and static the Rochester market is. Every Upstate city has seen its population shrink dramatically. And although RBTL CEO Arnie Rothschild says RBTL has more than

broken even for years, Rochester’s economy is not as vibrant as Durham’s. Patrons and funding for arts organizations are limited, and the competition for them is real. It’s hard to say, then, whether the AMS report will influence a fairly skeptical arts community. It may also not convince other critics, some of whom don’t think the city needs a new performing arts center and others who worry that an arts center will require public subsidy.

Dining & Nightlife

[ FEATURE ] BY DAVE BUDGAR

If you’re out and about during the wee hours, with either a naturally occurring or induced hunger, options for appetite gratification are few. Sure, there are some insipid chains that stay open all hours, and then there’s Jay’s Diner, “The Diner That Never Sleeps” (so say the menus). Open 24/7 and also serving breakfast 24/7, the business has occupied the same spot on West Henrietta Road in West Brighton since 1966. Numerous award certificates adorn the wall near the entrance, many proclaiming Jay’s as the destination for late-night eats. Conveniently located near the center of a geographic college triangle, with Rochester Institute of Technology, the University of

Rochester, and Monroe Community College at the vertices, Jay’s offers a 10 percent discount for students. I’ve frequented Jay’s periodically since childhood, and have dabbled in some latenight food foraging, but these days visits are limited to more mundane lunch and breakfast times, which, judging by the steady flow of hungry people, are equally popular. As a child, I thought the jukeboxes in the booths lining the front of the restaurant were the coolest thing ever, even though my parents never thought my choices were good mealtime music. In an effort to retain a 1950s feel, a few booths do still have jukeboxes, but no longer play 45-rpm vinyl. The teal and salmon décor (seat upholstery, light fixtures, neon lighting) might best be described as Miami Art Deco. Another unique aspect of Jay’s are the small, brightly-painted flower pots at each table holding sugar-substitute packets and half-and-half. Each flower pot has stick-on letters that spell out unusual factoids — such as “starfish haven’t got brains” or “in space astronauts cannot cry”

— seemingly derived from the underside of Snapple caps. Dino Mihalitsas, general manager of Jay’s and son of owner Paul Mihalitsas, says that after his family purchased the restaurant from founder Jay Leasure in 1985, they committed to retaining the look and feel of Jay’s, even after tearing down the original structures in 2001 and rebuilding to make it more accessible. Since those early days, Jay’s has been a family affair, dedicated to providing customers with “personal value” and what Dino calls a “special touch” by “still doing things the old-fashioned way, and making everything from scratch,” he says. He credits his mother with holding the place together for so long, calling her “the hardest working person you’ve ever met.” Jay’s has an extensive menu with a little bit of everything for everyone, but Dino says many people come for the comfort food. As a homemade soup lover, I felt compelled to try Jay’s New England-style clam chowder ($4.99/bowl), which has a somewhat legendary reputation, its recipe unchanged

since 1966. I didn’t care for its gelatinous texture, but apparently, I am among the few. As advertised on the menu, it is loaded with clams, but for me, the chicken noodle soup ($4.25/bowl) — piping hot, pleasingly salty, with an authentically strong chicken flavor and lots of diced chicken, celery, carrots, and onions — I had on a subsequent visit was significantly superior. The Philly cheesesteak ($8.99 with fries and pickle spear) I had after the chowder was generously filled with well-seasoned, tender, chopped beef, and a balanced mix of chopped onion and both red and green peppers — an eminently enjoyable sandwich that could have been even better on a firmer and crustier French bread. In the esteemed tradition of Greek diner ownership in the United States, Jay’s offers some Greek dishes, and I savored the chicken souvlaki plate ($13.99 with rice, Greek salad, pita bread, and tzatziki), featuring nicelycharred yet tender, marinated chicken chunks. I appreciated that they prepare a fresh Greek salad that’s more than an afterthought and more than mostly iceberg lettuce, with a respectable array of fresh vegetables, feta, and Kalamata olives. I finished this meal with a big vanilla milkshake ($4.99) — one of my barometers for measuring diner aptitude — and I judged this milkshake first-rate in terms of just-right thickness, restrained sweetness, and legit vanilla flavor. I returned for breakfast with my girlfriend Molly and her two daughters, Jocelyn and Norah. Molly ordered the seasonal special of pumpkin pancakes ($6.99), which she deemed “a delicious fall treat, not overly sweet or overly spiced.” Jocelyn liked that her French toast ($5.99) was “fluffy, including the crust,” while Norah declared her Belgian waffle ($6.59) “the best Belgian waffle ever, and I’ve eaten a lot. It’s soft, not crispy and buttery even without butter. I totally recommend it.” I almost always order corned beef hash ($8.99 with two eggs, toast, and home fries) when a joint makes its own. Jay’s corned beef hash was uniformly small-diced and crispy in places from the griddle, but I wished the home fries had had the same crispness. (Side note: requesting home fries prepared crispy seems to be a hurdle for many diners). Regardless of the time of day I visited, the service each time was consistently courteous and attentive, further validating that anytime is a good time to eat at Jay’s Diner. rochestercitynewspaper.com

Desert Noises

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 31 BUG JAR, 219 MONROE AVENUE 9:30 P.M. | $10-$12 | BUGJAR.COM; DESERTNOISESBAND.COM [ INDIE ROCK ] Desert Noises is a four-piece, powerhouse alt-rock band from Provo, Utah. Guitarist Kyle Henderson and bassist Tyler Osmond send out vocal harmonies that keep the listener locked into attention at all times. A lively pulse underneath is constantly driven forward by Brennan Allen’s polyrhythmic drum patterns, echoed by the electrifying guitar riffs of Pat Boyer. Desert Noises blend flavors of indie rock with country, blues, and garage rock, with songs that embrace feelings of love and the growing pains of being young with its catchy and memorable hooks. — BY KATIE HALLIGAN

‘Nosferatu’ TUESDAY, OCTOBER 30 THE CINEMA THEATER, 957 SOUTH CLINTON AVENUE 7 P.M. | $5-$7 | CINEMAROCHESTER.COM [ INDIE, FILM MUSIC ] It’s a rare treat anytime movie

lovers get a chance to take in a silent film with live musical accompaniment. But that’s exactly what you’ll get Tuesday, on the eve of Halloween, when local favorites Katie Preston and Ben Morey perform new, original music set to a screening of the legendary 1922 horror classic, “Nosferatu,” directed by F.W. Murnau. As singer-songwriters well-versed in rock and folk, it will be interesting to see what Preston and Morey do with the haunting narrative and 94-minute running time of this influential, masterful vampire flick. “Nosferatu” will be screened before Tim Burton’s “Beetlejuice,” as part of a double feature.

best known for his mid-1980’s stint with Sting or his short-lived, early-1990’s tenure as bandleader on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.” But, after growing up in New Orleans, the oldest son in the “first family of jazz,” Marsalis has spent most of his career playing straight-ahead, hard-bop jazz. He paid his dues with Art Blakey, Herbie Hancock, and his brother, Wynton, before forming his own groups. The three-time Grammy Award winner’s muscular sax style can be heard on over two dozen albums as a leader and countless others as a sideman. When he hits the Nazareth Arts Center stage, he’ll be joined by his excellent quartet, featuring Joey Calderazzo on piano, bassist Eric Revis, and Justin Faulkner on drums.

Psychedelic rock trio King Buffalo’s latest album, “Longing to Be the Mountain,” begins with a mysterious yet peaceful forest soundscape that introduces Sean McVay’s electric guitar, which seems to resound through the cosmos with ghostly yearning. Scott Donaldson holds down rock-steady drum beats to bring the listener back to reality from the inner workings of McVay and bassist Dan Reynolds. While McVay sings simple and confident melodies that bring a comforting light to the shaky, psychedelic groundwork, the lyrics flow like a soft wind over the music, allowing the instruments to speak for themselves. Listeners can enjoy more drawn-out, existential songs like “Morning Song” and “Eye of the Storm,” or they can rock out to head-bangers like “Sun Shivers” and “Cosmonaut.” King Buffalo’s album release show is on Friday, October 26, 9p.m. at Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Avenue.$10-$12.

Fortunato ‘Don’t Stick Around’ Self-released wearefortunato.bandcamp.com

Fortunato’s new EP “Don’t Stick Around” is highly relatable, with songs about love and longing, being young, and growing up fast. Although no longer in the band, vocalist Alexandra Wendt adds beautiful, heartwrenching melodies to the music here. Drummer Jacob LoMaglio splashes into breakdowns that surge out to guitarists Curtis Matteson and Jay Hewitt, and the sound is sent rippling toward Tommy LoMaglio’s bass lines. While the current feels calmly meditative in the song “Jacob’s Lullaby,” don’t stop to relax for too long, or you’ll be rocked off your boat by sudden dynamic changes in “I Can Hold My Breath Forever.” — BY KATIE HALLIGAN

Bella luna The Moho Collective ACOUSTIC EP RELEASE PARTY WITH GUEST MUSICIANS MIKE BROWN, ZAC LIJEWSKI, ALAN MURPHY, BEN PROCTOR, LAREN RISTER, AND AARON SHEWAN; OPENING SET BY MIKE BROWN FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26 LOVIN’ CUP, 300 PARK POINT DRIVE 8 P.M. | $10-$15, INCLUDES COPY OF EP | LOVINCUP.COM; THEMOHOCOLLECTIVE.COM [ FEATURE ] BY FRANK DE BLASE

Within only a few seconds of listening to The Moho Collective’s new acoustic EP, “Soma,” the listener is presented with possibilities. It’s laid out like a roundabout. The trio – Kurt Johnson on acoustic and steel guitars, organ, and banjo, Justin Rister playing upright bass and toy piano, and drummer Ryan Barclay – has taken a slight detour from its well-known manic, eclectic, electric strain with a series of five dexterous, acoustic breakdowns that preach beauty and comfort, and beg speculation. The purpose wasn’t to befuddle or confuse, but to tone things down a bit. 12 CITY OCTOBER 24 - 30, 2018

On Friday, October 26, the Lovin’ Cup crowd will get a taste of these acoustic tunes at the album release show for “Soma.” According to Johnson, the EP, named after the Hindu word for moon, has been in the works for some time. “We had a batch of tunes that lent themselves to this format.” Johnson says. “Really, with every other record, we recorded as quickly as possible – within a day or two. We did everything live. We just wanted to capture what we do and just trying to show the essence without getting bogged down.” But Johnson says “Soma” is different. “This one is different in two ways,” he says. “There is the acoustic element, but also we really went all-in with the studio magic and trickery that is available.” The Moho Collective didn’t need to go acoustic to get wild in the studio. They laid down some plugged-in Moho mojo, too, for the yet-to-be released “Arca,” named after the Hindu word for sun. “To be totally transparent,” Johnson says. “This is a multi-part thing we’re doing. We have the electric EP we’ve done as well. There are horns and lots of percussion, multiple guitars, and keys and stuff.” With this sort of atmospheric instrumentation sans vocals, the music leaves

room for the listener’s own story, be it rapturous or melancholic. “Soma” saw the band through some tough times. “We’re dedicating this album to my mom, who I lost a few years ago,” Johnson says. “The music was written and recorded with her in mind. I just wanted to make something beautiful. My mom was just a big fan of the moon. It’s hard to listen to the music without thinking about those times.” Soma was recorded at Mike Brown’s Temperamental Recordings in Geneseo. The Moho Collective was joined by Aaron Shewan on French horn and whistling, as well as violinist and violist Lauren Rister. The band recorded in the spring and did the overdubs in fall, mirroring the transition of seasonal splendor. “We recorded basic tracks live, as we always would as a three-piece, and we left a lot of space texturally to add stuff in later. And Mike was up for anything, adding horns, adding strings. There was one tune where we trekked out into a field with a laptop and banged a shovel on a big empty silo.” Silos and shovels aside, I once saw Johnson play a lap steel with an Allen wrench. “We pay a lot of attention to arrangement and structure and keeping things fresh because it is instrumental,” Johnson says. “We try to

distill it down to its most necessary parts to keep it interesting. Because we’re instrumental, we get lumped into the jam band thing. We don’t play pop songs, but we have pop song structures, as opposed to jams.” Johnson says The Moho Collective is entering a phase of less traveling, less gigging out, less touring, and “being more of a studio entity and just adding something beautiful to the world.” In addition to the second EP, “Arca,” The Moho Collective has a third, still untitled recording to get on the street. “We recorded the two albums together but they were two separate, distinct things. Johnson says. “So we did our due diligence and separated the two.” Unlike previous recordings, in which the new songs were roadtested, the five songs that comprise “Soma” will make their debut at the disc’s release party. Johnson’s an unabashed fan of his band and especially this album, fleeting as its sound may be. “The dynamics of the band is my favorite thing,” he says. “And I think the rhythm section is great. This record, in terms of being a fan, is a quieter, more thoughtful, gentle kind of whisper, but it’s just part of the journey. We’re not somewhere we’re going to stay too long.”

OUR PROCESS

THE

BEST OF ROCHESTER

[ INTRODUCTION ] BY DANIEL J. KUSHNER

Hello, CITY readers. It’s time to reveal the results for Best of Rochester 2018, our own “Showcase Showdown,” if you will. It’s been quite the contest to get this far: more than 12,000 contestants gave us their best and final answers in our Best of Rochester readers’ poll, spanning 100 different categories. Throughout the year, CITY reports on notable players in the Smugtown game, and this annual poll is your opportunity to tell us who and what should be in the limelight. You have in front of you an expansive look into Rochester’s rich cultural scene, with over 400 recommendations provided by proud locals like yourself. Think of it as a guide that will have you covered from morning ‘till night, with suggestions for everything from the best bagel to the best after-hours hangouts. The game isn’t over. In fact, it’s just beginning. Now is the perfect time to take a chance on fresh experiences that your city has to offer. Maybe it’s finally time to sample that new restaurant you haven’t been to yet, check out that little-known festival your friends have been raving about, or take your family somewhere different for some weekend fun. Beyond the final poll results, this issue also has humorous outtakes from readers’ primary ballots, and of course, our annual critics’ picks. This time around, James Brown, Frank De Blase, Kathy Laluk, Adam Lubitow and I cast our votes in alternative categories you can’t find in the poll results, and there are three additional picks you can only read at rochestercitynewspaper.com. 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). 20 CITY BEST OF ROCHESTER 2018

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 22, and ran through Thursday, September 13. Surveytakers wrote in whatever people, places, and things they thought were the best in each of the 100 categories. A team of CITY employees then got together in a marathon, 8-hour session to 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 19, through Friday, October 12, 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.

BEST ROAD FOR INTERNATIONAL FOOD CLINTON AVENUE Rochester’s cultural diversity is one its greatest qualities, and it’s abundantly clear from the plethora of international cuisine options in the city. To get a flavor for foods from a wide swathe of cultural traditions, a tour of Clinton Avenue may be your best bet. On South Clinton Avenue, just past South Goodman Street, a veritable cornucopia awaits. India House, at 998 South Clinton Avenue, is a mainstay; a bit farther south on the

road, Ming’s Noodle at 1038 South Clinton Avenue offers a variety of hearty Asian soups, including pho. For first-rate sushi, Shiki is mere steps away at 1054 South Clinton Avenue. And Ethiopian food is your jam, you can choose between Zemeta, 1009 South Clinton Avenue, and Addis Ababa, nearby at 752 South Goodman Street. There are plenty of choices on North Clinton Avenue as well. Sobrinos, at 1456 North Clinton Avenue, serves traditional fare from multiple

Hispanic culinary traditions; meanwhile, on 973 North Clinton Avenue, El Pilón Criollo focuses on mouth-watering Puerto Rican foods. Atlas Eats, located at 2185 North Clinton Avenue, features influences spanning from the Mediterranean to the Korean Peninsula. Whether you’re headed north or south, no street in Rochester is more densely populated with varied restaurants featuring dishes from all over the world than Clinton Avenue. — BY DANIEL J. KUSHNER

BEST BREAKFAST SANDWICH FAIR POUR CAFÉ’S ‘THE JAMMY SAMMY’

BEST NEW RESTAURANT Swan Dive

289 Alexander Street. (585) 413-3306; swandiveroc.com

Like most folks, I’ve had my fair share of breakfast sandwiches. It’s a simple, yet triedand-true concoction that consists of more or less the same ingredients: some sort of bread, meat, egg, and cheese. There are dozens of variations and many have their favorites. And now, I have a new one. I tried “The Jammy Sammy” at Fair Pour Café (6 North Main Street, #125 in Fairport) earlier this year while having coffee with my cousin. She ordered it first, and I followed suit, thinking the combination of a Bianca roll, fried

egg, goat cheese, triple berry jam and arugula sounded different and intriguing. It wasn’t just intriguing – it was succulently orgasmic. One bite and the runny yolk and jam oozed out of every corner of the crusty roll. The creamy, tangy goat cheese played well against the sweet berry jam and the peppery notes of arugula. It just hit every note of my palate, creating a perfectly rounded and delicious breakfast. It’s messy, but worth it. It’s one of the few times in my life I’ve licked the plate (in public). — BY KATHY LALUK

BEST NEW ROCHESTER TRANSPLANT OTHER HALF BREWING The craft beer movement has exploded over the last decade, and Rochester’s rabid fans always seem to be itching for more. Other Half Brewing from Brooklyn witnessed this firsthand, when hundreds lined up before sunrise on a cold, wintery Saturday morning in March for a mobile can release at Tap and Mallet in the South Wedge. The brewers sold out of 400 cases of their product by noon. Then in July, it was announced that Other Half had bought the space formerly occupied by Nedloh Brewing Co. (which closed last fall) at 6621 State Route 5 and 20 in East Bloomfield and planned to open up shop here, bringing with them their hoppy IPA’s that drives beer nerds wild. It’s not to say the Rochester area doesn’t have a strong craft beer scene already (it does), but I don’t think adding another option is something craft beer fans will object to (I don’t). Other Half ’s expected open date is as hazy as its brews, and is dependent somewhat on state and local permit approvals, but when it does crack open, I expect drinkers will welcome this new Rochester transplant with open arms and a hearty “Cheers!” — BY KATHY LALUK

BEST RESOURCE FOR ASPIRING FILMMAKERS

ANIMATUS STUDIO

In a building tucked back slightly from the road at 34 Winthrop Street in downtown Rochester, Animatus Studio has an unassuming appearance, in keeping with its status as one of the more unsung institutions of the city’s film culture. And inside, Animatus is a veritable hive of creativity. Founded by filmmaker Fred Armstrong, the studio is brimming with ephemera from animation history, including an entire room devoted to The Beatles’ “Yellow Submarine,” the film that first opened Armstrong’s eyes to the more unconventional possibilities of the medium. In addition to being a fullservice animation studio, Animatus offers workshops for aspiring movie makers throughout the year, providing training in traditional, paper cut-out, and clay animation techniques. Over the years, the studio has produced some impressive alumni, Oscar-winning Disney animator Brian Menz (“Frozen,” “Big Hero 6”) being just one example. Animation is Armstrong’s calling, and through Animatus – celebrating its 30th anniversary this coming year – he continues to spread that passion by inspiring a new generation of young filmmakers. animatusstudio.com — BY ADAM LUBITOW rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 27

Tribute shows have taken hold in the Rochester music scene, with no signs of easing up. Did it happen overnight? Seemingly, there isn’t a week that goes by without a local band playing a classic rock album live, in its entirety, or a collective of musicians paying homage to an influential musical legend with a set wholly populated by covers. I don’t mean to go full curmudgeon. I’ve toyed with the idea of planning a Jeff Buckley tribute show myself. Great music and the consequential artists who’ve created it deserve to be celebrated. And if concertgoers clamor for it, and the hosting venues and promoters benefit from increased traffic and revenue, I say “Godspeed.” But there are such things as diminishing returns, and I worry that if the local scene is consistently saturated with such concerts, it could dilute the meaningfulness of such events in the future. Additionally, more time and value given to the performance of covers mean Rochester musicians have less opportunity to showcase their own songs. But I’m a naysayer with solutions. What if artists performed covers of an icon alongside originals inspired by that artist? I’m just sayin’. — BY DANIEL J. KUSHNER

Lester Purry as Thurgood Marshall in Geva’s production of “Thurgood.” PHOTO BY GOAT FACTORY MEDIA ENTERTAINMENT

A life appointed “Thurgood” REVIEWED SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20 CONTINUES THROUGH NOVEMBER 18 ELAINE P. WILSON STAGE AT GEVA THEATRE CENTER, 75 WOODBURY BOULEVARD TICKETS START AT $25 | 232-4382; GEVATHEATRE.ORG [ REVIEW ] BY LEAH STACY

It’s risky to program a solo show on the main stage of any theatre, but “Thurgood,” which runs through November 18, is a calculated risk for Geva Theatre Center. It comes at a time of unrest in the country, amid discussions of race, the Supreme Court, and voting (the show runs through midterms — a strategy, perhaps). Not to mention “Thurgood” is, at its core, a story of the American Dream. The one-man show was conceived and written by George Stevens, Jr., founder of the 32 CITY OCTOBER 24 - 30, 2018

American Film Institute and the producer of the Kennedy Center Honors, among other projects. “Thurgood” premiered in 2006 at the Westport Country Playhouse in Connecticut and starred James Earl Jones; when it opened Broadway two years later, Laurence Fishburne assumed the role. The plot is essentially a chronological biography, recounted in first person, of Thurgood Marshall. It’s an account of his life from his days as a child in Baltimore (“just north of the Smith & Wesson line,” as he recalls), where he was a descendant of slaves; to his college years at Lincoln University, where he befriended author Langston Hughes. It was Hughes who influenced Marshall to join the debate team and become an activist, eventually resulting in his admission to Howard University School of Law. The second act of the show mainly focuses on Marshall’s relocation to Washington, D.C. and his tenure as the first black man appointed to the Supreme Court

throughout several decades at Penumbra. In “Thurgood,” the two have built a powerful ebb and flow, playing on the visual language to create a character that feels like both an inspiring college professor and the most interesting family member at Thanksgiving. Set design by Vicki Smith is simple upon first glance — a floor-to-ceiling Constitution backdrop and judge’s chamber with conference table, chairs, lectern, and coatrack. But the backdrop quickly transforms to a screen, where Rasean Davonte Johnson’s projection designs are featured, including historical film, photo stills, and a rainy night. Sound design by Justin Ellington plays an important role as well, as it is the only other auditory element aside from Purry’s voice. Weather, music, old radio announcements, and recorded court cases all add depth to the production. “Thurgood” is a show best enjoyed while alert (throw back an espresso beforehand), as it covers an entire life of events, is slow moving at times and contains weighty subject material. But it’s also filled with lighthearted moments — Marshall was known for his fun-loving, sometimes irreverent nature — and pointed, necessary comments on race in America, ideal for a post-show discussion with fellow show attendees. Additional theater review of “A Bronx Tale” online at rochestercitynewspaper.com.

(he was also founder of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, and worked in New York for many years). When Lester Purry (Thurgood) steps onstage, he commands attention immediately, breaking the fourth wall by addressing the audience with his booming voice. For the next two hours (including a 20-minute intermission), Purry is a theatrical force, bringing Thurgood Marshall to life through expert physicality, an impressively dense amount of memorized material, and a true commitment to the portrayal of an icon of American history. Director Lou Bellamy has worked with Purry before, and the semblance of a strong artistic relationship is clear here. Bellamy is the founder and artistic director emeritus of Penumbra Theatre in St. Paul, which produced August Wilson’s first professional production, and has produced Wilson’s plays more than any other theatre in the world. Purry has contracted with Bellamy

ART | ‘PILGRIM’S PROCESS’

In her artist statement, Rochester-based painter Belinda Bryce describes her intuitive way of creating: “Venture first; meaning may follow.” Meditative and soothing to behold, her paintings are stripped down to formal elements of shapes and line, with an emphasis on texture achieved through layers of gestural marks and abstract stains. Bryce’s recent exploratory work is showcased this month and next in “Pilgrim’s Process” at AXOM Gallery. “Pilgrim’s Process” continues at AXOM (176 Anderson Avenue, floor 2) through Saturday, November 24. Admission is free. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday, noon to 6 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and by appointment. 232-6030; axomgallery.com. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

CELEBRATING OUR 4 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!

THEATER | ‘THE ADDAMS FAMILY’

I grew up devouring “The Addams Family” in every iteration, from the black and white TV show, to the 1991 film starring Christina Ricci as teen icon Wednesday. When “Parks & Recreation” debuted, I couldn’t help but think that April Ludgate was what Wednesday would be like as an adult. Grown-up Wednesday is the subject of Greece Theatre Company’s family-friendly production of “The Addams Family,” which opens this week at Lyric Theatre. In this story, Wednesday has fallen in love with a sweet, smart, normal young man, and her family hosts a dinner Wednesday’s boyfriend and his parents. “The Addams Family” will be presented Friday, October 26, through Sunday, November 4, at Lyric Theatre Main Stage (440 East Avenue). Show times are 7:30 p.m. on Friday, October 26; Saturday, October 27; Thursday, November 1; Friday, November 2 (ASL Interpreted); and Saturday, November 3; and 2 p.m. on Sunday, October 28; and Sunday, November 4. Tickets are $25 for adults and $22 for seniors and students. 234-5636; greeceperformingarts.org. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Film BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Festival to honor Thérèse DePrez

Irshaad Ally and Monique Rockman in “Number 37,” screening as part of the High Falls Film Festival. PHOTO COURTESY DARK STAR PICTURES

Hear them roar [ PREVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

With a brand-new name, the High Falls Film Festival returns for another year of filmic expression and empowerment. Now designated The High Falls Women’s Film Festival, the event continues its commitment to highlighting the contributions of women both in front of and behind the camera. From Thursday November 1 through Monday, November 5 the festival will screen six narrative features, eight documentary features, and four shorts programs, including a special free Saturday morning program for kids. Additional scheduled events include workshops, coffee talks, and a tribute to Rochester native and award-winning film production designer Thérèse DePrez (see the sidebar for more on that). For ticket information and the complete schedule of films and events, visit highfallsfilmfestival.com. There have been a number of recent documentaries focused on gender discrimination in Hollywood, and “This Changes Everything” strives to be both the most all-encompassing and the most star-studded film to come out on the subject. Speaking with actors, producers, directors, executives, and journalists, director Tom Donahue delves into questions of what types of stories are told by Hollywood, who gets to tell them, and what

the industry’s output says about society’s view of women. A Q&A with Donahue will follow the screening. (Thursday, November 1, 6:30 p.m.) Using Alfred Hitchcock’s “Rear Window” as inspiration, the bloody thriller “Number 37” sees writer-director Nosipho Dumisa transplant the story’s action from NYC to a crime-ridden slum in South Africa. Owing money to a ruthless loan shark, the wheelchair-bound Randal (Irshaad Ally) hatches a blackmail scheme after witnessing a murder in the apartment building across the way through his binoculars. Things don’t go quite as planned, and soon he and his fartoo-loyal girlfriend Pam (Monique Rockman) are over their heads in a deadly game of catand-mouse. Dumisa’s taut direction lends the pair’s twisted love story a potent punch. (Thursday, November 1, 7:45 p.m.) In her eye-opening and mouth-watering documentary “A Fine Line,” director Joanna James focuses on women in the restaurant industry. James combines her mother Valerie’s career journey as a chef and restaurant owner with the perspective of several worldrenowned women chefs to learn why it is that women account for less than 7 percent of chef-restaurant owners. A panel discussion will follow the film, with James as well as Robin Banister Swan, owner-executive chef of Ox and Stone and Roux; Ashley Swan

(Roux); and Paulina Swan (The Swan Dive). (Saturday, November 3, noon) Directed by Erika Cohn, the fascinating and inspirational doc “The Judge” follows the life of Judge Kholoud Al-Faqih, the first woman appointed to Palestine’s Shari’a court, which hears family cases and deals with women’s issues in the country. In chronicling the obstacles Al-Faqih faces, Cohn creates a portrait of a truly inspiring woman. A Q&A with Monroe County Family Court Judge Joan S. Kohout will follow the film screening. (Saturday, November 3, 5 p.m.) Social services investigator Claire (Olivia Thirlby) is tasked with learning the true identity of the victim of a gruesome unsolved murder in the noir-tinged thriller, “White Orchid.” As her investigation continues, Claire finds herself drawn into the mysterious woman’s life in ways that go beyond her professional duties. The plot doesn’t break new ground, but works thanks to Thirlby’s strong lead performance (and an excellent supporting cast, including Jennifer Beals and John Carroll Lynch), which goes a long way in helping us forgive her character’s often questionable actions. A Q&A with the director and Rochester native Steve Anderson is scheduled to follow the film. (Saturday, November 3, 7:30 p.m.) An extended version of this preview is online at rochestercitynewspaper.com.

The second night’s programming at the High Falls Women’s Film Festival will include a tribute to Rochester native Thérèse DePrez, an award-winning production designer who died last December at the age of 52. DePrez’s work on more than 40 films earned her numerous film honors, including an Art Directors Guild award for “Black Swan,” a Gijón International Film Festival award for “I Shot Andy Warhol,” a Sundance Film Festival Special Recognition award, and nominations for CinEuphoria and International Online Cinema awards for “Stoker.” Starting her career with the 1991 comedy horror film “The Refrigerator,” DePrez became an in-demand designer, working with some of the biggest names in independent films, including Chan-wook Park (on “Stoker”), Spike Lee (on “Summer of Sam”), and Darren Aronofsky (“Black Swan”), who gave a tribute to her at the Sundance festival in January. Actors with whom she worked included Rochester’s Phillip Seymour Hoffman (“Jack Goes Boating”) and Dustin Hoffman (“Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium”). DePrez was one of the youngest voting members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which included her in its 2018 Oscar tribute to people in the film industry who had died the previous year. She was also a much-loved mentor, encouraging and motivating people – students as well as people in the industry. Officials at the Museum of the Moving Image in New York, which held a twoweekend retrospective of her films last month, called DePrez was one of the New York film world’s “most beloved creative forces.” The museum is acquiring some of her materials for its collection, as is the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which is establishing an archive of her work in its new museum in Los Angeles. Growing up in Rochester, DePrez attended World of Inquiry, Interim Junior High School, and Monroe High School and, her family says, developed her interest in design and media in those Rochester public schools. The festival will honor DePrez in an event at 6 p.m. Friday, November 2, in Little Theatre 1. The program will include presentation of the first Thérèse DePrez Award for Outstanding Production Design to one of the films being shown at this year’s festival. rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 41

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 42 ] [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY THE EDITORS AT ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

The Continuing Crisis In an apparent attempt to destroy what little brainpower he had left, 26-year-old Brandon McVay of Council Bluffs, Iowa, ate a Tide Pod, prompting a trip to the hospital. But while he was being treated in the critical care unit, McVay went on a rampage early on Oct. 4, causing thousands of dollars of damage to medical equipment, according to the Omaha World-Herald. A nurse told the responding police officer

that McVay "was yelling loudly" as he broke objects in his room before proceeding to the hallway. Keyboards, computer monitors and glass valued at more than $7,500 were found littering the hallway, where McVay was subdued by security before police arrived. McVay was arrested and held at the hospital on charges of second-degree criminal mischief and disorderly conduct in a place of business. rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 47
