CITY’s announcement that it would no longer endorse candidates for office generated a buzz amongst readers. The announcement seemed to leave some readers wondering whether CITY would continue covering politics. CITY will cover politics, of course, and it will continue devoting space to the platforms of candidates who are often overlooked by other news outlets. The difference is CITY won’t be choosing sides in a campaign. CITY trusts its readers to make that choice on their own. Here are some of the reader responses as gleaned from social media channels:

[ NEWS IN BRIEF ]
Douglass capsule contents damaged
Crews working to move the Frederick Douglass monument in Highland Park to a more prominent location in the park unearthed a time capsule from 1899. But decades worth of freezing, thawing, and drying out left the contents looking like “a pile of pulp,” Christine Ridarsky, the City of Rochester historian, said at a news conference. A conservator advised city and county officials that trying to remove the contents from the box could damage them, Ridarsky said. A firm will freeze-dry the contents so that they can be preserved and examined using future technologies or displayed later. The monument was originally installed at the New York Central train station on St. Paul Street in 1899. It was moved to the park in 1941.
Moses faces charges George Moses, the former chair of the Rochester Housing Authority and the executive director of North East Area Development (NEAD), was indicted by a federal grand jury on 28 charges, including wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, and lying to the FBI. The charges relate to alleged schemes to defraud Rochester Housing Charities, a subsidiary of the Rochester
4 CITY
Housing Authority, and the Quad A for Kids after-school program, according to the US Attorney’s Office. Moses allegedly lied to FBI investigators about his knowledge of a scheme to steer Rochester Housing Charities money to Adam McFadden, the former City Council vice president and former Rochester Housing Authority executive director. Earlier this year, McFadden pleaded guilty to two felony fraud charges linked to that scheme. Authorities also allege Moses and McFadden arranged to have NEAD bill Quad A for Kids $8,000 for training and other services that were never provided. McFadden then created bogus invoices from his company, Caesar Development LLC, to NEAD for consultation services that never happened, according to authorities. McFadden recently pleaded guilty to defrauding Quad A, a program which he ran, of more than $131,000. Moses, a former Rochester Housing Charities board member, is also accused of causing the organization to overpay its executive director $500 every two weeks. The executive director would then funnel $380 of the extra money to Moses’s bank account or pay it to him in cash, according to authorities.

Eastman’s China tour to go on despite student ban
Jamal Rossi, Eastman School of Music dean, defended his decision not to cancel the Philharmonia's China tour in letters to the school community last week. FILE PHOTO
The Eastman School of Music plans to go ahead with an upcoming scheduled eight-city orchestral tour of China, despite that country’s denial of visas to three members of the orchestra who are South Korean nationals. Eastman Dean Jamal Rossi explained in a letter to faculty that the situation posed “a tremendous ethical dilemma,” but that leaving the students behind was preferable to the alternative option of canceling the tour altogether. “Cancelling would likely have a negative impact on Eastman’s reputation within China, and potentially limit other opportunities to recruit, perform, and tour for our faculty and other ensembles,” he wrote. The school was notified in late September by tour affiliates in China that the three students had effectively been banned. Rossi explained in his letter that China blocked the students in retaliation to the United States deploying a missile defense in South Korea in 2016. Rossi wrote that attempts to secure visas for the students with the help of local congressional delegates and the Chinese Consulate in New York City were unsuccessful. His correspondence added that he and other school officials met with
the affected students prior to making the decision to remove them from the orchestra, the Eastman Philharmonia. In a subsequent letter to students, Rossi wrote that Philharmonia members were in favor of continuing the tour by a margin of two to one, and that the affected South Korean students said the show should go on. “As I wrote to the students, I can understand and appreciate that some of you may agree with my decision while others may not,” Rossi wrote to faculty, adding that he would speak personally with anyone who wanted to question his decision. “In the meantime, I hope that you can appreciate the challenge this scenario created in that the final choices were between two potentially negative outcomes,” his letter read. “I believe this decision is ultimately in Eastman’s best interest, and I truly appreciate your support of the students and of this important international initiative.” The tour is slated to run from December 30 through January 8, visiting cities including Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Shenyang.

“I do have empathy and compassion for the families of people who are incarcerated. That’s why I said, ‘Let’s see how we can renegotiate the system.’ But I don’t think taxpayers should be paying for that system.” - TODD BAXTER, MONROE COUNTY SHERIFF
PUBLIC SAFETY | BY DAVID ANDREATTA
Monroe County Jail phone call prices to plummet With a $3.4M surplus, critics wonder whether discount goes far enough Picking up a phone call from an inmate at the Monroe County Jail can feel a bit like a stick up. At a time when the price of a local call is next to nothing under most phone plans, a call to the 585 area code from the jail costs $1.85 for the first minute and 10 cents each additional minute. Those charges are paid by the receivers of the calls, typically family and friends of the incarcerated, who have to set up pre-paid accounts with the private vendor that runs the jail-phone system. But new legislation before the County Legislature would significantly lower the cost of a local call to a flat rate of 10 cents a minute – a rate that would be among the lowest in jails across New York state. The legislation is expected to pass with bipartisan support next month. “I thought the price was, I wouldn’t say gouging, but overbearing,” Sheriff Todd Baxter said. “Families only have so much to spend.” The move follows a nationwide push from prison-rights advocates, public defenders, and relations of the incarcerated to limit private companies from profiting off the imprisoned.
The measure, which was introduced by County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo at the request of Baxter, calls for the county to enter into a five-year contract with a new vendor, Securus Technologies. Securus is one of two companies that monopolize the prison-phone pipeline in the United States. The other, Global Tel*Link, or GTL, is the county’s current vendor. The billion-dollar prison phone industry has drawn increased scrutiny in recent years, having been the subject of a federal investigation that focused on the commissions that municipalities and states received from the vendors in exchange for contracts. The arrangements amount to what critics describe as a legal kickback. Monroe County currently collects a 66 percent commission on each call, generating roughly $870,000 in revenue annually. The county would take a higher cut of 78.5 percent under the new contract, but anticipates netting around $500,000 a year due to the lower cost of each call. For example, the county currently makes $2.15 on a 15-minute call that now costs $3.25. The same phone call would cost $1.50 under the new contract and provide a commission of $1.18.
Commissions go into something called the “Telephone Trust Fund,” which county officials said currently has $3.4 million on hand. Officials have described the fund as being used to pay for capital projects, like upgrading security features and buying GPS monitors. Baxter said the Sheriff’s Office intends to use some of the proceeds to buy “safety blankets” that are designed to reduce inmate suicides. Legislator Rachel Barnhart, a Democrat representing Rochester, commended the sheriff’s push to lower the cost of inmate calls, but said calls should either be free or offered at cost considering how much money is in the fund. She said she would not support the legislation. “It was obvious during discussions (with the Sheriff’s Office) that this money – profits from phone calls – is very important to jail officials,” she said. “We need a better accounting of this fund. The budget should not be balanced on the backs of inmates and their families.” New York City recently became the first major city in the United States to make phone calls from its jail on Rikers Island free. Paperwork detailing the new contract provided to legislators by the Sheriff’s Office
estimated it would cost the county $237,000 a year to make phone calls from Monroe County Jail free, based on a break-even charge of 3 cents per call. Baxter said the people using the phone system should be the ones financing it. “I do have empathy and compassion for the families of people who are incarcerated,” Baxter said. “That’s why I said, ‘Let’s see how we can renegotiate the system.’ But I don’t think taxpayers should be paying for that system.” Inmates can make calls that are mandated or considered emergencies for free. Research has shown that inmates who maintain contact with their families are less likely to be reincarcerated. Legislator Vincent Felder, a Democrat from Rochester who supports the legislation, said he has had relatives incarcerated and knows firsthand the burden of prison-phone charges. “Ideally, you’d like it to be free, if possible,” Felder said. “But this is certainly a step in the right direction. I think the fact that they’ve made this move shows a certain level of compassion.” David Andreatta is CITY’s editor. He can be reached at dandreatta@rochester-citynews.com.

OCTOBER 30 - NOVEMBER 5, 2019
Fairport is charged up about electric vehicles. The 14450 zip code, which covers the village as well as the Town of Perinton, boasts 263 registered electric vehicles, according to data published by the state. Of upstate zip codes, only Pittsford and Ithaca have more, with 293 and 385, respectively. But Fairport has something that neither of the other two communities have - a municipal electric company that provides residents with low cost power. That’s an attractive asset when it comes to vehicles that run on a charge rather than a tank of gas. It also puts the village in a unique position to gain insight into drivers’ charging practices and needs, and how utilities can best manage the increasing number of chargers connected to their grids. The New York Power Authority is, in fact, partnering with Fairport to do exactly that. “Right now, we’re trying to understand human behavior and how people use these things,” says Village Manager Bryan White,
who also manages the municipal utility, Fairport Electric. The partnership is happening under the umbrella of the Power Authority’s EVolve NY initiative, through which the state plans to invest $250 million into electric vehicle infrastructure, consumer education, and other programs by 2025. Fairport has been selected to serve as the program’s sole “model EV community,” White says. A Power Authority spokesperson declined to discuss the model EV program with CITY because the agency wasn’t prepared to make an announcement. The village and Power Authority will partner on some outreach work, such as test drive events and educating consumers about charging stations, White says. But data collection and analysis will be a major focus of the model EV community project. The village and Power Authority will get that data by expanding the network of public charging stations and private
residential chargers in Fairport Electric territory, White says. The village currently has three public charging stations and they provide connections for five vehicles. Through the new effort, it’ll add 25 public connections, all of which will be metered, White says. Fairport has also received 50 charging stations to provide to residents for at-home use. They’ll be connected to Wi-Fi networks and will feed information to village and Power Authority staff about when people charge their vehicles and how much power they’re consuming. That information will, in turn, help the partners develop practices for managing charging infrastructure on the grid, White says. Because the chargers are network connected, they can be controlled remotely by the utility and turned off during periods of high demand, White says. The Fairport project is the latest in a
series of efforts by local organizations and governments to make Monroe County and its communities friendlier to electric vehicles. Many of those efforts, such as electric vehicle test drive events, have focused on making drivers and car buyers more familiar with the cars. The Greater Rochester Clean Cities Coalition has coordinated much of that work. The coalition and local governments have also focused heavily on addressing range anxiety. Some drivers and car buyers can be reluctant to rely on electric vehicles out of fear that they’ll end up in situations where they run out of juice before they get where they’re going. When people can see and use charging stations at their regular destinations, however, range anxiety becomes less of an issue. “When I started working on electric vehicles about eight years ago there was nothing,” in terms of public charging infrastructure, says David Keefe, the coalition’s coordinator. But over the past few years, the organization has arranged for the installation of 90 charging stations across the county. Rochester installed its first public-use electric vehicle charging stations in 2013 and 2014 at City Hall, the Public Market, and the Port of Rochester. The city has since added stations at the market, the Charlotte Branch Library, Genesee Valley Park, and Cobbs Hill Park. All of those were added through a Power Authority program, says Anne Spaulding, manager of the city’s Division of Environmental Quality. One of the city’s goals, says Spaulding, has been to ensure that electric vehicle drivers commuting into the city for work have a place to charge up for their drive home.
Fairport will install additional public electric vehicle chargers in the village as part of a joint program with the New York Power Authority. The program's goal, in simple terms, is to improve electric vehicle infrastructure. PHOTO BY RENÉE HEININGER
The stations have been getting more use over time. In 2014, the first full year they were online, 119 different vehicles plugged into them, Spaulding says. So far this year, more than 1,000 different vehicles have hooked up, she said. Countywide, electric vehicles have become increasingly prevalent. There are 2,600 electric vehicles on the road in Monroe County, which is more than any other upstate county, according to state data. But as more people drive electric vehicles, all the additional charging will place heavier demands on New York’s power grid, according to an annual trends report published by New York Independent System Operator, the organization that manages the grid. It projects substantial growth in electric vehicle-associate power consumption over the next 20 years. Fairport’s contributions through its partnership with the Power Authority will shape how utilities manage those demands. They’ll help figure out which strategies work — for utilities and consumers — and which don’t, White says. It makes sense, given that Fairport Electric will have to manage these demands itself and that the market for electric vehicles, says White, “is directly right in our backyard.” Jeremy Moule is CITY’s news editor.

who IS THE MAN
PHOTOGRAPHING ROCHESTER one pay phone
AT A TIME? BY DAVID ANDREATTA

OCTOBER 30 - NOVEMBER 5, 2019
captured inside the Genesee Brewery, phone numbers for the union and take-out eateries were scrawled on the wall around the ghostly outline of what was a pay phone. Two galleries, CEPA Gallery in Buffalo and Gallery 19 in Chicago, have already agreed to exhibit his work in 2021.
A WAR ZONE Kunsman has photographed 476 pay phones to date. When he began the project, finding them required summoning an intuition for their presence – once acute in anyone who lived in the 20th century and was desperate to make a call – that went dormant years ago.
Answer: This guy, Eric Kunsman
PHOTOS BY MAX SCHULTE
ric Kunsman, cradling a Hasselblad camera in his hands, stood at the intersection of Grape and Orange streets on Rochester’s west side on a dreary Tuesday morning sizing up his latest subject. To the untrained eye, there wasn’t much to look at; just a closed corner store with wire mesh on its door. But Kunsman, a professional photographer and lecturer at the Rochester Institute of Technology, saw in the grim backdrop something special: A pair of pay phones. “What’s that man doing?” a boy on a bicycle asked. “Taking pictures of pay phones,” I replied. “Have you ever used one?” “Uh-uh,” the boy said with a shake of his head as he pedaled away. For nearly two years, Kunsman has been photographing Rochester and its suburbs one pay phone at a time. “They’re my babies,” he said. “They’re like my children in many ways. There’s an experience in finding them.”
E
Finding them has gotten harder. Once ubiquitous symbols of freedom, mobility, and salvation, pay phones have been rapidly vanishing since the advent of the mobile phone. From their peak at 2.1 million units nationwide in 1999, pay phones today number fewer than 100,000, according to Federal Communications Commission. In Monroe County, there are fewer than 1,700, about a third of the number there were at the turn of the century. They have not gone down quietly. The decline of the pay phone has been chronicled – some might say lamented – in news articles, documentaries, and on social media channels under hashtags like #payphoneography and the popular Instagram account @payphones, that pay homage to the outdated technology and its role in society. Pay phones have rescued countless stranded motorists, delivered joyous news of births from maternity wards, and informed untold numbers of spouses that their better halves would be late for dinner. “For decades, we handled all of your drug deals, love affairs, runaways, pimps, crime tips, cranks, heavy breathers, and emergencies,” one of the last phone booths in Brooklyn growled in voiceover in the 2016 short documentary, “Dead Ringer.” “You name it, we heard it all.”
But Kunsman’s pursuit is not a saccharine ode to pay phones. He doesn’t romanticize them or wax nostalgic. His photography, he said, is about chronicling pay phones as social markers of race, class, and economics in greater Rochester. “This project is more about the environment these phones are in and trying to tell the stories of those environments,” he said. In his studio a few blocks away, he thumbed through a stack of hundreds of blackand-white images on oversized matte paper, recounting a story with each one. There was the pair of pay phones outside the 490 Motel, the vandalized modern model standing in contrast to its pristine, older counterpart. There was the quaint phone booth in Pittsford. There was the pay phone that outlasted the vacant T-Mobile store in the background on State Street. These are not snapshots. They are carefully considered portraits that evoke a relationship between a bygone technology and its surroundings. The photos, all black-and-white, are largely devoid of people, giving them a post-apocalyptic feel that is simultaneously beautiful and eerie and recalls the rise and fall of civilization. Some of his photos don’t feature a pay phone at all, but rather a discolored wall where one had been mounted. In one such image he
“We called it pay phone hunting,” Kunsman, a 43-year-old married father of two who resides in Penfield, said. “My daughter, who is 4-and-a-half now, she has an eagle eye. We’d be driving and she’d shout, ‘Payphone!’” These days, he works off a list provided to him by Frontier Communications Corp., which operates most of the pay phones in the region. The list pinpoints the locations of 1,455 pay phones in Monroe County, although the company estimates it has about 1,650. Whatever the number, there will likely be fewer tomorrow than there are today. The number of pay phones have been reduced by more than half in the last five years, according to the company, and a spokesperson told CITY the company could not verify which phones on the list still existed or were in working order. “We don’t follow the pay phone business that closely anymore,” the spokesperson, Bob Elek, said. The muse for the project struck Kunsman shortly after he moved his studio in 2017 from the Neighborhood of the Arts to Walnut Street in JOSANA, a neighborhood that is slowing turning around after decades of decline. continues on page 10 rochestercitynewspaper.com

“When I moved here, my friends called this a war zone,” Kunsman said, recalling them pointing to the abandoned buildings and vacant lots that still dot the neighborhood. “Some of them pointed out the number of pay phones.” The implication, of course, was that where there were pay phones, there was crime. That thinking came to the fore in the 1990’s, when pay phone companies acknowledged their product was a tool for drug dealers, gamblers, and pimps, due to privacy laws that allowed callers to remain anonymous. Some large cities began implementing site-specific restrictions on pay phones, such as prohibiting their installation outside public housing developments and liquor stores. Others went so far as to propose legislation – ultimately unsuccessfully – to eliminate pay phones. But Kunsman saw a different correlation: Pay phones remained mostly in places where people needed them. That meant economically-distressed neighborhoods occupied primarily by people of color. “People still rely on these,” Kunsman said. “We think everyone has a cell phone, but really, it moves beyond certain economic classes.” 10 CITY OCTOBER 30 - NOVEMBER 5, 2019
As of the 2010 Census, there were nearly 3 million households in the country without access to either a landline or a cellphone, including at least 6,883 in the Rochester area. Access to mobile phones among the poor increased under Lifeline, a federal program launched during the Reagan administration that provides basic telephone service to the neediest Americans for free or at deep discounts. The program was expanded to include wireless phones during the presidency of George W. Bush and was accelerated under President Barack Obama. The phones came to be known by the pejorative moniker “Obama phone,” a shorthand among critics for the excesses of a welfare state. But not everyone living in poverty got one. Joan Hinman, a volunteer at the House of Mercy homeless shelter and soup kitchen on Ormond Street, said many people who use the organization’s services today rely on the house phone to make and receive calls. “It’s not unusual for people to say they don’t have a phone,” Hinman said. At World Wide News, a downtown convenience store on St. Paul Street, people still attempt to use the pay phone outside from time to time. “It hasn’t worked in maybe four, five months,” said John Theodorou, a co-owner of the store. “A lot of people still ask about it. A lot of people still don’t have their own phone.”
FELICIFIC CALCULUS In visiting the locations of pay phones, Kunsman suspected he recognized an example of something called felicific calculus – an algorithm formulated by the 18th century utilitarian philosopher Jeremy Bentham for working out the sum total of pleasure and pain produced by an act, and thus the total value of its consequences. “Aware of the poverty in some areas of the city, (Frontier) chose to leave and maintain public pay phones in the areas where they are most needed,” Kunsman wrote in his artist’s statement for his project, which he named, “Felicific Calculus: Technology as a Social Marker of Race, Class, and Economics in Rochester, NY.” “This choice by Frontier is not the typical profit-driven decision usually seen in corporate America, but appears to be one based on actual community service,” the statement read. How altruistic Frontier is behaving in relation to its pay phones is a matter of opinion. “It’s a declining business and decisions made about it are pretty black and white,” Elek, the company spokesperson, said of pay phones.
Financial analysts have called the company “over-leveraged” and its stock price of about $1 “over-priced,” and have speculated it will file for bankruptcy protection in the near future. Frontier’s remaining pay phones on the streets of Rochester and elsewhere may be a function of the company not having the capacity, or interest, to tend to them. “The number of pay phones in Monroe County and Rochester will continue to decrease as the general public now mostly uses near-universally available wireless phones,” Elek said. “There are still approximately 1,650 pay phones available in the county, and as long as the remaining units are used enough to support the maintenance and operation costs, Frontier will be able to keep them in service.”
COLLECTING STORIES Kunsman hopes to complement his exhibit with a pay phone mounted to the gallery wall that, when the receiver is picked up, plays stories recorded by people who relied on pay phones in Rochester. People like Joe Davila, who was panhandling outside World Wide News. The 44-year-old Rochester resident explained that he has had mobile phones in the past, but either lost them, had them confiscated when he went to jail, or scrapped them when they ran out of pre-paid minutes. Davila said he used a pay phone in Irondequoit recently to call his mother. “What else are you going to do when you got no phone?” he asked. To collect stories like that, Kunsman plans to advertise on the working pay phones he photographs (he checks every phone for a dial tone and estimates a third of them have one). His strategy is to affix a postcard to them that will invite callers to participate in an audio interview about their use of the phone in exchange for $25. “For me, it’s about getting these stories out, because Rochester’s not the only one,” Kunsman said. He recalled a recent conversation he had with two homeless men outside an abandoned strip mall while on a business trip to Tucson, Arizona. One of them used a wheelchair, he said. “There were two pay phones right there,” he said. “And I asked them, ‘Do you rely on these pay phones?’ The answer was, ‘They shut it off on us a three months ago, we now have to go six blocks down.’ They knew the ones that worked. “It’s just about being aware that people are relying on them.” David Andreatta is CITY’s editor.

Back in the early 2000s, I regretfully passed up a chance to go on a weekend tour of Damascus. My friend reported back to me that Syria’s capital was a gorgeous place of thousand-year-old architecture standing steadfast among newer edifices, partially inspired by the still-existing predecessors. The streets were full of vibrant colors and art. The food was fresh and delicious, and eating in Syria was a social event where everyone was treated like an old friend returning from a long journey. I missed a chance at what would have been an adventure. Fortunately, if I’d like to enjoy the fare and hospitality of The Levant, I just need to head to the west side to taste the East. Since early
August, 750 Elmgrove Road has been the home of Levantine’s Café, Mohammad AlFayad’s restaurant that boasts a wide variety of dishes from his home region. AlFayad got into cooking the way many of us do: by bugging his mother incessantly. When he was a young boy back in Syria, he would follow her around the kitchen with questions while she prepared meals for the family. She would shoo him away, but he kept returning, eager to learn. She eventually relented, and AlFayad’s culinary skills blossomed. He came to the States in 2012 and settled here in Rochester. Many things about Levantine’s invoke nostalgia for his birthplace. The name “Levantine’s” itself is derived from a classic name for the region; “The Levant” refers to the eastern Mediterranean coastal regions, including Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Israel, and Jordan, as well as the western regions of Iraq and Saudi Arabia. It’s a 15th century term derived from the French word for “rising,” as the sun rose and shone on that region before Europe. And it’s still used today by archaeologists and anthropologists when they discuss the wealth of science and culture that comes from the area.
Levantine’s provides food that can’t claim origins in one specific country. All the dishes AlFayad makes have been around for centuries, perhaps with a few small tweaks in the recipe or description from region to region. The walls of Levantine’s are a bright, muted tan-green supporting a dark colored ceiling. It reminds me of the bright sun-washed houses I saw in Cyprus and Kuwait. Wall-mounted copper pots host spider plants. In many homes in Syria, a family would establish their plots with a tree or a few small plants and then build their house around it, essentially making a flourishing courtyard and garden at the center of their home. Even the niches in Levantine’s
walls host glossy ceramic plates that reminded me of the elaborately designed tiling that I saw in a palace once. It turns out AlFayad bought them from Home Goods, but the influence on the artist is obvious. The very first thing that made me feel welcome in Levantine’s was the wood room divider that separated the kitchen from the checkout and dining area. On each of the four panels was the phrase “Welcome,” “To Your Health,” “Fresh,” and “Thank you” in large English letters, in calligraphic Arabic, and spelled out phonetically. True to the sentiment, Fraser, the person taking my order, was more than happy to explain and describe everything on the menu I didn’t quite understand. I wound up getting ful mudammas ($5), a pot of fava beans stewed with tomatoes, parsley, and dry spices, followed by an order of manakeesh ($8 for 2), which is kind of like a savory turnover. One was stuffed with spinach and onions, and the other filling was muhammara, a smoky red pepper and tomato paste. To cleanse my palate, I had an ayran (pronounced EYE-ron) ($3), a thin yogurt drink that I was initially doubtful about, but turned out to be very refreshing. This menu would be a vegetarian’s dream, by the way. Many times, people think of Middle Eastern food as just lamb and beef kebabs, or shawarma seasoned to various spice levels. Though there are plenty of chicken and beef pitas and kebabs on Levantine’s menu, there are just as many fresh salad plates and small vegetarian plates. No one will leave hungry. AlFayad says he is excited to expand his menu to offer daily specials and a traditional Syrian brunch on Sundays, family-style: dining groups sharing many small plate dishes for one price. For now, though, he’s focused on presenting a positive image of his home country. When he first arrived in the States, not many folks he encountered had even heard of Syria. But now when he says where he is form, the only things that come to people’s minds are conflict and war. In fact, some of his employees are refugees from the conflict, and he says he’s thankful that he could provide them a safe place to work as they settle and support their families. But Syrian and the greater Levantine culture are much more than conflict; the region has been a source of art and knowledge for generations, for literal millenia. AlFayad says he hopes that he can provide the community with a positive perspective of his home land. rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 13

His seemingly impossible dexterity is matched by his propulsive phrasing and imaginative melodic leaps. It’s not surprising that he won the 2016 Montreux Jazz Guitar Competition. But the now Brooklyn-based Hirvonen is just one of four excellent musicians in New Helsinki. Equally kinetic are pianist Luke Marantz, bassist Marty Kenney, and drummer Nathan Ellman-Bell. — BY RON NETSKY

a reggae, funk or soul-tinged band, you can get exposed to what I like to call “groove hyperbole.” In the case of Root Shock, it’s like the Syracuse band’s energy supersedes the band itself; the music is playing the musicians. There’s groove a-plenty, and singer Jessica Brown brands it with her pretty voice before sending it out with a smile. This is one of the happiest bands I’ve heard in a while. Baker Street is also on the bill.

passages is probably the Magnificat, Mary’s canticle of praise to the Lord. Its words have inspired numerous composers, from popular works by Vivaldi and J.S. Bach to the three less-familiar examples represented on this Friday’s Rochester Oratorio Society program. The trio of works represents the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, with Giacomo Puccini (great-great-grandfather of the other Giacomo Puccini), Anton Bruckner, and John Rutter, respectively. The program also includes a selection from the Antara Winds and a Corelli concerto grosso for strings.

When I read in the liner notes for Simone Baron & Arco Belo’s forthcoming album — out November 8 — that Baron’s ensemble was “genrequeer,” I thought this was a bold appropriation of a gender term. But after listening, I realized that “The Space Between Disguises” is a statement emblematic of an increasingly nonbinary musical world. A superb pianist and accordionist, Baron leads an ensemble that could be categorized as “chamber jazz.” But that label doesn’t begin to describe the wonderful banjo solo by Mark Schatz on “Who Cares,” or the popping bass of Michael Pope on “Passive Puppeteer.” All of this is in the service of Baron’s genre-bending arrangements, which are as intriguing as her compositions. — BY RON NETSKY
Bob Sheppard ‘The Fine Line’ Challenge Records bobsheppard.net
You may not have heard of saxophonist Bob Sheppard, but you’ve surely heard him play. He’s worked with Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock on the jazz side, and Joni Mitchell and Stevie Wonder in the pop realm. Released last May, Sheppard’s excellent album “The Fine Line” gets off to a running start with wild, serpentine riffs on his tune “Edge of Trouble.” It keeps gathering steam from there, with fine, bluesy originals and well-chosen covers. My favorite of the covers is a spirited rendition of The Stylistics’ tune “People Make the World Go Round.” Pianist John Beasley, drummer Kendrick Scott, and bassist Jasper Somsen provide solid support, while guest artists — including Rochester native and trumpeter Mike Cottone — nicely augment Sheppard’s musical vision. — BY RON NETSKY

It was the last song of the 2019 Rochester Music Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on April 28 at the Eastman Theatre. Christine Lavin had just been inducted that evening, and was sharing the stage with heavyweights including Beach Boy Al Jardine and Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal, a flashy guitarist who has been in bands such as Guns N’ Roses. Lavin, a physically slight folk singer, was surrealistically 16 CITY OCTOBER 30 - NOVEMBER 5, 2019
rocking out to the Bob Dylan tune “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” on her acoustic guitar, alongside a coterie of male musicians for the grand finale. “I was very conscious of being the only woman being honored that night,” Lavin says in a late-night email from her home in Manhattan. “I was simply not going to be handed a tambourine to play, or even worse, just clap my hands. I had to be playing guitar. I could imagine some young girls in the audience watching, thinking, ‘Yeah, I can do that!’ ” Lavin is a bon vivant. She is a born entertainer, but the SUNY Brockport graduate is also a connector with a tremendous social circle. Her most recent video, for “Ode to Clint Eastwood,” was debuted by The Washington Post last month. Despite having never met Eastwood, Lavin wrote the song as a favor to her friend, who has a crush on the Hollywood icon.
Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson contributed a spoken-word introduction on her tune “Planet X.” She has collaborated with countless performers including Julie Gold, whose song “From A Distance” was even played in outer space. Lavin’s current album is a 20-track “Best of” collection that made the FAI Folk Chart, landing in the top 10. All of the songs display an extraordinary ability to use clever lyrics to articulate what’s exactly on her mind. “Just because songs are popular, doesn’t mean they’re the best I can do,” says Lavin of picking the selections on the album. “I figure this is my last chance to put a spotlight on songs, over the years, that I’ve loved writing that haven’t caught on with many people yet.” One of the songs, “Something Beautiful,” is about leaving beauty in our wake when we leave the planet. In an eerie coincidence, it
contains a poem recited by Lavin’s aunt, who died the day after the album was mastered. “I had to ask her many, many times to record her poem,” Lavin says. “She had the most indelible voice. Nobody else sounds like her, and I wanted to preserve that for all time.” Lavin was part of the entourage that traveled with Bob Dylan’s Rolling Thunder Revue during the first week of the tour in 1975. She worked at Caffè Lena, in Saratoga Springs, when the owner Lena Spencer was invited to tag along on the tour. Spencer didn’t have a driver’s license or a car, so Lavin and a coworker got swept along. “Dylan was a nervous presence, always jumpy, and all the other performers were very aware that his presence made the tour possible,” Lavin says. She had been too shy to say anything to Dylan at the concerts, but when he joined

Lavin and her friends at a restaurant table, she told him that she loved how he ended the shows with “This Land is Your Land.” She then taught him a verse of the song that Pete Seeger had been singing, which shifted the words to a Native American perspective. Lavin was performing at Caffè Lena when she met her guitar teacher and mentor Dave Van Ronk, who convinced her to relocate to New York City in 1976 and choose a path as a singer-songwriter. As a result, Lavin has become “the unsung heroine of the latter-day folk movement,’’ according to fellow singer Janis Ian. Besides charming the listener’s ears with her songs, Lavin is also an author, radio host, and co-founder of the all-female group Four Bitchin’ Babes. Recently she made a video (“wut?”) featuring a cameo by her audiologist. Over the years, Lavin has noticed a gradual amount of hearing loss. “It’s not terrible,” she says, “but it’s due to getting blasted by feedback more times than I can remember, and also probably turning the volume up too loud on headphones. I’ve always been a headphone freak, and now I’m paying the price.” Her mother’s hearing was bad toward the end of her life, too. One day Lavin and her mom were a watching a cooking show on television where contestants prepare a meal, and if the judges don’t like it, they are removed from the program. They get chopped. Lavin says her mom was horrified. “They get…shot?” The singer-songwriter’s performances involve plenty of humorous stories. She can include surprising feats like baton-twirling or launching into a rap. Shows are sandwiched in between rounds of knitting and fancy napkin-folding with her fans. Now at age 67, her schedule hasn’t slowed down. This past summer, a lot of it involved upstate New York, where she made a video highlighting the Boys & Girls Club of Geneva’s week-long Culinary Camp at New York Kitchen in Canandaigua; she also performed at the historic Chautauqua Institution. Lavin spent the month of September at the artist colony Yaddo in Saratoga Springs, where she finished three new songs — including the one about her friend being madly in love with Clint Eastwood. “It’s been an interesting year, that’s for sure,” Lavin says. “Maybe it will be capped off by a wedding and maybe I can sing that Clint Eastwood song at the reception. Maybe I can get ‘Bumblefoot’ to jam on it.”

Painting sepia-toned portraits of life in the Midwest, The Cordial Sins maintain a balance between dreamy, floral pop and grungy alt-rock. Inspired by life-flashing moments from its first national tour, the band has just released its new EP, “In Memory,” via Diversion Records. Vocalist Liz Fisher sings indie rock melodies with silky smoothness, similar to the vocals of late frontwoman Dolores O’Riordan of The Cranberries, while lead guitarist Corey Dickerson pairs Fisher’s lyrics with scratchy shoegaze solos. The Cordial Sins will perform along with Boy Jr. and BABS on Wednesday, November 6, 9 p.m. at Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Avenue. $7 advance, $10 at door.

CLASSICAL | ROCHESTER PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA
RPO Music Director Ward Stare’s program for this week’s concert features two very different works from 1919. Cellist Andrei Ioniţă (pictured), who was a powerhouse a couple of seasons ago in Shostakovich’s First Cello Concerto, returns as soloist in Edward Elgar’s magnificently melancholic concerto, first performed (unsuccessfully) in 1919. That’s also the year that Igor Stravinsky fashioned the suite from his flamboyant ballet “The Firebird, ” still his most popular work. The rest of the concert goes back to 1918, the year of the deaths of two remarkable French composers: Claude Debussy and Lili Boulanger. The elder composer is represented by a very early work, the irresistible “Printemps,” or “Spring”; the younger one, who died in her mid-20s, is celebrated with her last, brief orchestral works, “D’un soir triste” and “D’un matin de printemps.” The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra and Andrei Ioniţă perform Thursday, October 31, at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, November 2, at 8 p.m. at Eastman Theatre’s Kodak Hall.

Whenever museums or galleries host largescale exhibitions of work by household-name master 20 CITY OCTOBER 30 - NOVEMBER 5, 2019
artists, they’re faced with the challenge of making the show into more than a dazzling display of familiar beauty. Sure, the draw of seeing works created by the actual hands of
immortalized artists is enough to pull the public through the doors, but that’s not enough for the delightful nerds who become curators, nor many of the delightful nerds in the audience. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with wanting to see the work of some of history’s most renowned names. I was enticed enough when I heard that the Memorial Art Gallery would be presenting an exhibition of work by renowned and prolific Art Nouveau artist Alphonse Mucha this year, and that it would showcase more than 80 works, including rare original lithographs, drawings, books, portfolios, and other ephemera. A chance to closely study a master artist’s progress over many decades — as well as the decisions made between sketches and finished work — is valuable not only to other artists, but to anyone who still thinks that art just magically manifests or is an act of skill without the labor. And I’m definitely one of those countless former art students whose dorm walls were wallpapered with cheap reproductions of PreRaphaelite painters’ works, as well as enchanting women by Alphonse Mucha; mind-bending math art by M.C. Escher; and the peaceful dance of atmospheric conditions in paintings by Claude Monet — all three artists, by the way, have now been featured in major exhibitions at the MAG in the past three years. And all three exhibits beautifully contextualized the artists’ work, drawing the viewer deeper into the experience of understanding the work and, valuably, that art — even pretty art — isn’t made in a vacuum. A funny thing about being a household name is that sometimes crucial details about an artists’ life are glossed over, or aren’t mentioned at all. For example, before seeing this show, I didn’t really know what nationality Mucha was (I had incorrectly assumed he was French) and had no idea that the rise of Nazism basically ended his life. Mucha is known for framing his depictions of earthy or otherworldly, goddess-like women with deeply ornate, meticulously balanced natural elements. His color lithographs feature heavy outlines that flatten clothing, hair, and scenery, but subtle gradations of shade on faces and limbs bring dimensionality back into play. This combined effect has always brought to mind saints frozen in stained glass windows, but on paper. The exhibition’s items, selected from the extensive Mucha archives of the Dhawan Collection of Los Angeles, tells the story of Mucha’s life, from his 1860 birth in the region of Moravia (now part of the Czech Republic), to his art education in Vienna, Munich, and Paris; and his “big break” commission in 1894, when he illustrated the distinctive tall-and-
narrow, nearly-life-size poster advertising the premiere of Sarah Bernhardt’s play “Gismonda” at her Theater of the Renaissance. Bernhardt became a frequent muse of Mucha, and his star soared as he designed posters, costumes, and sets for her productions. Soon his illustrations graced the covers and pages of countless French publications, and his influence spread among his contemporaries. Like Bernhardt, who shocked and then won audiences with her performances of male roles, Mucha’s women seemed self-possessed and heroic, at the right times intimidating — not the average object of the male gaze. Mucha’s post-Parisian life was off to a beautiful start when he retired from metropolitan culture in 1910 and returned to his home country, where he focused his artistic efforts on personal projects, including “The Slav Epic,” a series of 20 monumental paintings illustrating the history of the Slavic people from ancient to contemporary times. Deeply devout and hugely impacted by the traditional folklore and religious practices of his cultural heritage, Mucha wanted to present his culture’s richness through the dramatic, heroic style he was known for. But his sense of nationalism wasn’t the fearful, hollow pride that aims to disenfranchise and do away with those deemed different. It was the kind that takes pride in and seeks to preserve cultural memory. But as fascism encroached in the 1930s, Mucha’s work and cultural pride were denounced as reactionary, and when German troops invaded Czechoslovakia, he was in the first wave of arrests by the Gestapo. He was released after several days, but the stress of his interrogation and the invasion of his homeland weakened him, and Mucha died a few months later of a lung infection at the age of 78. Even as we applaud their decorative services, artists are often dismissed as dreamers and idealists, painting pictures that can serve as either mirrors of society or better-case-scenarios. This role has too often put a target on their backs. One of the last bodies of work that Mucha began was intended to be a monument to humanity, a triptych he called “The Three Ages.” The show includes an ink and pencil drawing of a costumed Czech girl that is believed to be a figure study for one of the panels. Curatorial text on the wall provides context: “For Mucha, the themes of reason, wisdom, and love were the fundamental building blocks of society. He considered reason and love to be two extremes that could only be united through wisdom.” Rebecca Rafferty is CITY’s arts and entertainment editor.

From the pen of young playwright Peter Sinn Nachtrieb comes “Boom,” a circa-2008 apocalyptic comedy about a marine biologist and a journalism student who meet via the internet for a hookup — advertised as “sex to change the course of the world” — for the sake of the biologist’s research. Local theater company Out of Pocket Productions has taken on this rarely-produced (but much raved about in New York City) play, which is directed by Stephanie Roosa and features Skylar Shaw, Lauren MacDonough, and Barbara Lobb in the three-person cast. “Boom” continues Thursday, October 31, through Saturday, November 2, at 7:30 p.m. MuCCC, 142 Atlantic Avenue. Tickets are $13 for students and seniors, $18 general admission and can be purchased at muccc.org. — BY LEAH STACY

THEATER | ‘THE NICETIES’
Geva Theatre’s latest production continues an ongoing commitment to both diverse subject matter and selected crew members. “The Niceties,” by female playwright Eleanor Burgess, features a two-person, female cast and a female director, Nicole Watson. It focuses on a black activist student, Zoe, who challenges her white, baby-boomer professor on a college paper grade. The conversation leads to heated discussions of race and privilege, even as Zoe tries to navigate how her own affluent background affects her future opportunities. “The Niceties” will be presented every Tuesday through Sunday at various times through Sunday, November 17, at Geva Theatre Center, 75 Woodbury Boulevard. Tickets begin at $25 and can be purchased at gevatheatre.org. — BY LEAH STACY

A scene from “The Iron Bridge,” screening as part of the Rochester Polish Film Festival. PHOTO PROVIDED
From Poland with love Rochester Polish Film Festival TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, THROUGH SUNDAY, NOVEMBER, 10 [ PREVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
Every year since 1997, the Rochester Polish Film Festival has offered local audiences a collection of movie screenings, spotlighting some of the best that contemporary Polish cinema has to offer. Sponsored by the
University of Rochester’s Skalny Center for Polish and Central European Studies, this year’s festival features eight features, incorporating an eclectic mix of genres and subjects. The event starts off with a special screening of the 1917 silent film “The Polish Dancer (Bestia)” on Tuesday, November 5, at 7 p.m. at the George Eastman Museum’s Dryden Theatre (900 East Avenue). A tragic love triangle starring Pola Negri, the film will be presented with both pre-recorded music and accompaniment by renowned composer Włodek Pawlik. The Grammy Award-winning
musician will participate in a Q&A and discuss the process of composing for silent films. Tickets ($4-$8) to the opening night film can be purchased at the Dryden Theatre before the screening. All subsequent films will screen at the Little Theatre (240 East Avenue). Tickets ($7-$10) can be purchased at The Little’s box office during regular theater hours and prior to each screening. What follows is a peek at a few of this year’s selections, all of which will be screened in Polish with English subtitles.
together the stories of three women struggling with alcoholism. Aided by an ensemble of strong performances, Dębska refrains from judging her characters too harshly, telling a story of addiction that’s as hopeful as it is painful. (Wednesday, November 6, 7 p.m.) A love triangle leads to a tragedy that shakes a Silesian mining town in “The Iron Bridge (Żelazny Most).” Kacper (Bartłomiej Topa) is having an affair with Magda (Julia Kijowska), the wife of his best friend Oskar (Łukasz Simlat). Kacper just so happens to be Oskar’s foreman, which gives him a chance to send his friend off to work so he can enjoy some extra time with the man’s wife. But when a powerful explosion traps Oskar underground in the mine, the community rallies together for a desperate search and rescue mission. A potentially melodramatic plot is explored with sensitivity and nuance by writer-director Monika Jordan-Młodzianowska, as the distraught couple find themselves torn between their love for one another and a guilt they can’t escape. (Sunday, November 10, 3 p.m.) Władysław Pasikowski directs the exciting and entertaining WWII spy thriller, “The Messenger (Kurier),” chronicling the real-life story of Jan Nowak-Jeziorański, an operative who became known as “The Messenger from Warsaw.” the film follows as Nowak-Jeziorański, Serving as an emissary of the Polish government in exile in London, is tasked with delivering a crucial message to the resistance. Pasikowski gives the story a rough and gritty texture, which helps overcome a bit of thinness in its character development. (Sunday, November 10, 7 p.m.) An extended version of this preview is online at rochestercitynewspaper.com.
