Seek input from the public on Parcel 5

People for Parcel 5, a grassroots group of diverse community leaders, recently conducted an informal, public survey obtaining nearly 700 responses. The survey is posted online at Parcel5Survey. com and was publicized at recent events in Parcel 5, including the Fringe Fest. Results indicate that 90 percent want grass planted, 96 percent want it available for public use, and 73 percent are willing to wait several years, after further community engagement and dialogue, to determine the long-term outcome for the space. Now that the Rochester Broadway Theatre League proposal for Parcel 5 is dead, we have time to catch our breath and ensure all voices within the community are heard. Half of the survey respondents live in the city, but I believe everyone with a stake in the city’s future – the entire spectrum of social classes and lifestyles – should feel heard. No one should suffer financially or through displacement with the outcome. Many in my downtown neighborhood and citizens who spoke up at City Council meetings are advocating for open community forums, similar to the ROC the Riverway and Charlotte redevelopment processes. They endorse a public space that harks back to the democratic principles applied by Frederick 2 CITY

Law Olmstead when he designed Central Park, as well as our own Highland and Genesee Valley Parks. Open space is available to every citizen to enjoy, regardless of class or ethnicity. We have seen how centrally located park space in other cities throughout the US has recently been deployed to jump-start further activity and development downtown. Look at Columbus, Grand Rapids and, even our neighbor, Buffalo. With the right private-public partnership, I know Rochesterians are smart enough and love their city enough to make this a stunning success. Members advocating for public space have formed alliances with community organizations representing the arts, advocates for those vulnerable to gentrification, newer downtown residents, and many more. Our voice has been heard and will continue to be heard. It is imperative that we prevent any adverse consequences from the revitalization of downtown. We have the right to set the bar high with a thoughtful approach to urban planning that aims for greater economic prosperity for all. I want future generations to look back at us, admiring how we came together and made the right decision. RICHARD A. GLASER

Rochester’s school district needs change

The news of Superintendent Barbara Deane-Williams’ retirement five months before her contract term ends comes as no surprise to the community, families, or critics of the Rochester school district. Her short-lived tenure

has been marked by conflict, tragedy, and one piece of bad news after another. Everyone, it seems, has let out a collective sigh of relief, not because we are happy that this is Rochester school district’s fourth superintendent in five years but because there is a glimpse of hope that the Board of Education and other powers that be might use this clean slate to do things differently from how they have been done. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly yet expecting a different result each time. History and the current state of affairs shows us that the revolving door of over-paid singular leaders is not the type of leadership that our struggling district needs. The last decade under multiple administrations has brought little positive change, increased budgets, and inconsistency in central office and schools. The school district needs something different. What that is remains to be seen, but we know another round of interviews to bring in yet another over-paid figurehead is not enough to bring substantive change to the district. The district needs real substantive change in how it is led, and that change must come from the top down. Business as usual is what has made the district one of the top-failing school districts in the state. Change is needed if we expect the needle to move at all. I’m hopeful. The community is hopeful. But hope and faith alone won’t solve the district’s problems or eliminate abject poverty. Only real change can do that.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Our house, divided: after the midterms A fair number of Democrats seemed to be happy the day after last week’s election, but I’m not finding much to celebrate. It’s good, of course, that Democrats won the House. They can investigate people in the Trump administration (although it’s hard to know whether those investigations will hurt Republicans). They can pass progressive legislation, and while the Senate will reject it, it could mean some uncomfortable votes for Republicans. And they can push policies and positions that the public ought to hear about. The Brookings Institution highlights the need for a focus on right-wing terrorism in the US, internet policy, US military involvement abroad, problems in Afghanistan and Libya, the humanitarian crisis in Yemen. But the Republicans will still be in the majority in the Senate. They’ll be able to block anything the House Democrats try to do. And Republicans will have an easy time in confirmation hearings, including those for the Supreme Court. (As if to emphasize the fragility of the Democrats’ presence there, the day after the election, Ruth Bader Ginsberg was hospitalized after she fell and broke three ribs.) Republicans’ control of the Senate isn’t likely to change two years from now, either. Democrats’ odds will certainly be better than this year, when 26 Democratic seats were up compared to the Republicans’ nine. In 2020, the Republicans will have to defend 22 out of the 33 seats on the ballot. But most of those seats, as Michael Tomasky noted in the New York Times, “are in states that would elect a dog before they’d elect a Democrat.” And so even though the majority of Americans live in states with Democratic senators, it’s likely that most senators will still be Republicans. This is just a deeply divided, deeply polarized country, with urban areas Democratic and rural areas Republican, the northeast and west coasts Democratic and the South and mid-sections Republican. This isn’t the first time we’ve been divided, obviously. We were divided – along similar lines – at the nation’s beginning, and sometimes we’ve found ways to come together. But that’ll be particularly hard right now, given the behavior of the man leading the country and the complicity of the elected officials of his party.

Hate and prejudice are huge factors in the country’s division. And Donald Trump and other Republicans have made them acceptable.

Can anything overcome that? The president and many of the Republican leaders have effectively used lies and exaggerations to turn a lot of the country against commonsense measures on health care, drug abuse, gun control, and immigration. I still think – naively, maybe – that it’s possible to overcome that, that the people of this country can find common ground on every one of those issues. It’s hard to be optimistic, though, because hate and prejudice are such huge factors in our division. And Donald Trump and a number of other Republicans have made them acceptable. Hate and prejudice have become so acceptable that the president is cheered when he sends troops to protect us from a fabricated invasion of brown people at our southern border. And Iowa Representative Steve King – who the day before the election joked that Supreme Court Justices Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor might elope to Cuba – eked out a narrow win and will be taking his virulent, open racism back to Congress. The hate has been there since the country’s founding, but we overcame it, elected Barack Obama president in 2008, and re-elected him in 2012. Something has changed, though. There is an ugliness loose in the country. And two years seems like an awfully short time to put it back in the box. rochestercitynewspaper.com

[ NEWS IN BRIEF ]

Decision pending on Cobbs Hill suit

Arguments in a lawsuit filed by a group of city residents, neighborhood associations, and members of the Cobbs Hill Village Apartments Tenants Association earlier this year were heard in State Supreme Court last week. The lawsuit stems from Rochester Management’s plan to redevelop the existing 60-unit low-income senior housing complex. Rochester Management plans to demolish the existing brick buildings on Norris Drive on the edge of the park and replace it with a 104-unit complex. The plaintiffs want to stop the development “Both sides made their arguments, and I think it went well for us, but the judge didn’t make a decision,” says Alan Knauf, a local attorney representing the group opposing the project. “We probably won’t know anything until sometime in December.” Opposition to the project has been severe from the moment it was announced. While the lawsuit argues that the city’s Zoning Board and Planning Commission improperly approved the plans for the project, much of the public concern has been about the project’s close proximity to the park.

News

Rochester Management officials say that the current apartments are outdated and can’t be upgraded at a reasonable cost.

City invests in EVs

The City of Rochester is adding seven new electric vehicles to its fleet and will install six new electric vehicle charging stations for public use across the city, announced Mayor Lovely Warren. Both efforts are funded in part through the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority. The city will add two Chevrolet Bolts, four Chevrolet Volts, and one Moto tram shuttle. They’ll be used by the water bureau, parking bureau, and Mt. Hope Cemetery staff, and for city government’s shared vehicle pool. The city already has four Volts, which are used by the police department and water bureau. Warren also announced that the city has joined other cities across the country to form an electric vehicle purchasing collaborative. The effort is intended to help cities solicit competitive bids for the vehicles. The electric vehicle efforts are part of the city’s efforts to combat climate change and they fit in with its Climate Action Plan, Warren said.

ENVIRONMENT | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Park reservoirs are being studied again City officials are again trying to decide whether they need to cover the reservoirs at Highland and Cobbs Hill Parks. They held the first of a series of public workshops on Highland on Tuesday night. The reservoirs are a popular visual feature of both parks, but the water in them is part of the city’s public water supply. It comes from two of the Finger Lakes south of the city – Hemlock and Canadice – and it’s what Rochesterians drink and bathe in. Federal officials have strengthened requirements for protecting public water supplies, and the city has to show that its open reservoirs meet

those standards despite their exposure to birds, leaves, and other potential contaminants. Rochester has to meet the standards by 2023 at Highland and 2024 at Cobbs Hill. Ten years ago, city officials considered covering both reservoirs, but after objections they considered treating the water with ultraviolet light instead. No action was taken, however, and last year officials hired a team of consultants to study Highland’s reservoir again. The consultants came up with several different options, and city officials are now asking the public for its opinion. The options:

• Leave the Highland Reservoir uncovered and treat the water to ensure its purity; • Cover it (with a floating membrane or aluminum cover) or contain the public water supply in a covered tank within the reservoir; • Decommission the reservoir, removing it from the public water supply but possibly keeping water in it as a visual feature. Tuesday night’s event was the first of three workshops planned between now and next spring. Environmental Services Commissioner Norman Jones will then give Mayor Lovely Warren his recommended solution.

A new MCC program lets students defer repaying their loans from the college, complete their studies, and get a job. That expands their career options and their earning potential. Already, 115 students have applied – one of them from Anchorage, Alaska.

HIGHER EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

MCC says come back, pay later James Simpson was just 12 credits away from completing his degree at Monroe Community College in 2008 when he stepped on something that left him was a serious foot infection. “It got so bad that it led to kidney failure and I was on dialysis,” Simpson says. He could hardly walk for nearly two years because he was in so much pain. In addition to his medical problems, he owed a little over $900 for the last semester he had attended MCC. But Simpson had no way of paying the bill and finishing his education. “I tried everything possible, but I just couldn’t do it,” Simpson says. “I became mainly Mr. Mom, washing clothes and taking care of our kids. My wife had to pick up the costs for just about everything, and it was real tough on her.” But Simpson is now back at MCC, thanks to a program launched this fall that the college calls Return to Complete. It allows students to re-enroll and defer debt they owe to MCC. (The deferment doesn’t apply to government or private student loans.) Once they complete their degree or certification program, students in the program can expand their career options and earning potential, college officials say. “We do a lot of community outreach, and students would

approach us and say they want to come back, but they owe us money,” says Christine Casalinuovo-Adams, MCC’s associate vice president for enrollment management. The average debt for those students is about $1,200, and it’s for anything from tuition to books and other expenses.

“That’s a huge, huge barrier for many of our students in this community, and if they left without completing a program they may not be employed and able to pay back the institution,” she says. Casalinuovo-Adams estimates that as many as 7,000 MCC students may be eligible for the program. Already, 115 have applied. Some left MCC as far back as 20 years ago, CasalinuovoAdams says. “It seems like every student has a different story, a different reason why they left,” she says. “Life got in the way of them completing their education and pursuing the career they wanted. But that original dream of becoming a nurse or whatever it may have been is still alive. They really want to finish what they started.” Students do have to meet certain requirements, such as completing their degree or certificate program within four years and completing a financial literacy course. The most popular areas of study are nursing, radiology, medical office support,

precision machinery, HVAC, and optics, areas where there is a demand for employees locally, says Casalinuovo-Adams. Students can attend MCC’s Brighton or downtown campus, and they can even take courses on-line from anywhere in the country. One of the first students to apply for the program lives in Anchorage, Alaska. “For many of these students, this is a second chance they didn’t think they’d get, and it can be life-changing for them,” Casalinuovo-Adams says. Simpson is the first person in his family of 11 siblings to go to college. He’ll be attending MCC’s downtown campus, which is not far from where he lives. He plans to finish his degree at MCC and then transfer to SUNY Brockport through the SUNY “2+2 Path.” It’s a lower-tuition route to a fouryear degree. Simpson says he’s always been interested in the criminal justice field, possibly becoming a parole officer. “I am only four classes away from completing my degree at MCC, but I had my serious doubts about whether I would ever be able to do it,” he says. “For someone like myself, you can’t imagine what this means.”

POLITICS | BY JEREMY MOULE

Midterm election brings change and caution The 2018 midterms were volatile and contentious, and some sort of change was perhaps inevitable. Professional prognosticators said a Blue Wave would put Democrats in control of the House of Representatives, which it did. And Democrats in New York made good on predictions that they’d flip control of the state Senate. The power shifts in Washington and Albany are going to mean something locally, one way or another. House Democrats have vowed to serve as a check on President Donald Trump and the Congressional GOP, which could affect policies and laws around immigration, health care, trade, and a smattering of other crucial issues. New York Democrats have promised that control of the state Senate – really, of the entire legislative and executive branches in state government – will mean action on measures regarding climate change, voting reforms, health care, education, abortion laws, and gun laws. The Democratic majority is likely to give swift approval to the Gender Expression Non-discrimination Act – legislation that would ensure that anti-discrimination laws apply to transgender people. Cannabis legalization is also more likely to happen with a Democratic-led Senate. Monroe County voters played a small role in shifting the balance of power in Washington, since they elected long-time state Assembly member Joe Morelle, a Democrat, to the 25th District House. The seat had been held for 16 terms by Louise Slaughter, whose death earlier this year left it wide open. Morelle will be a freshman in the House, but he’ll likely have greater clout than the average newcomer. He’d served as the state Assembly’s second-in-charge since 2013, and during an interview this past spring, he said that experience has helped him develop skills House leaders want to put to use. He also emphasized that he came up through the Assembly with several more senior members of the state’s current House delegation. In contrast to the House, Democrats took control of the State Senate without Monroe County’s help. Voters re-elected

the incumbent Republicans to all six of the seats that cover at least some part of the county, though the Democratic candidates came quite close to flipping two key seats. Republican Joe Robach was reelected to the 56th District seat, with 54 percent of the vote. Democrat Jeremy Cooney pulled in 46 percent. Rich Funke, the Republican representing the 55th District, narrowly won over his Democratic challenger, Jen Lunsford. Funke received 50 percent of the vote while Lunsford received 47 percent; Lunsford carried the Monroe County portion of the district, but the Ontario County towns pushed Funke over. Robach and Funke won’t have the influence they did previously, since they’ll now be part of the minority in the state Senate, but both, predictably, say they’ll work hard to make sure Monroe County’s concerns and needs are heard in Albany. The senators also have a history of working with their Democratic peers in the state Assembly majority.

Monroe County voters are sending three Democrats to the Assembly: Jamie Romeo was elected to take over Morelle’s seat, while Harry Bronson and David Gantt were reelected to their seats. The day after the election, advocacy

groups were already putting public pressure on New York Senate Democrats to address specific topics. Environmental groups released statements urging swift action on climate measures; the Alliance for Quality Education urged action on “school discipline reforms, culturally responsive education, and at last making equitable school funding a reality”; and the pro-business group Unshackle Upstate called on state leaders to “find pro-growth solutions that will strengthen communities across the state.” The Senate Democrats aren’t likely to get much leeway from advocacy groups, other state and local elected officials, and the people of New York in general. The reason the last time the Democrats controlled the state Senate, it was an

unqualified disaster. During this year’s campaigns, Republicans pointed back to a 2009 Democratic tax plan they said would have cost Upstate homeowners. But power struggles and infighting around issues such as marriage equality legislation proved a bigger issue for the Democrats, who held a slim majority in the Senate. The GOP preyed on that dysfunction, with some help from wealthy businessman Tom Golisano and political operative Steve Pigeon. Republican conference leader Dean Skelos and GOP Senators George Maziarz and Tom Libous convinced Democratic Senators Pedro Espada and Hiram Monserrate to join with them in a leadership coup, which happened via a surprise leadership vote late in the 2009 session. The leadership crisis, as it’s politely called, lasted a month. It threw the Senate and state government into a chaotic stalemate, which is likely what most New Yorkers remember of the last time Democrats controlled the chamber. Democratic leaders are promising better results this time. The party’s majority is larger this time – roughly 40 members strong instead of 32 (the Senate had 62 seats before the 2011 redistricting). Individual lawmakers will have less ability to defect and grind Senate business to a halt. In addition, the worst actors during the 2009 coup are no longer in office. The five Democratic and Republican senators behind the mess all faced corruption charges in later years. (None of those charges were related to the coup.) Governor Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat who was just re-elected to his third term, will also have an influence on the Senate. He’s a notoriously tough, tactical executive who likes to keep tight reins on the Legislature; his affinity for influence and control earns him scorn, but those qualities will come in handy if the Senate Democratic conference begins to fray. Throughout the 2018 campaign, Republicans argued that Democratic control of the Senate could hurt Upstate. Only three members of the Senate’s new Democratic majority – maybe four, depending on the outcome of a close Syracuse-area race – will be from Upstate. But Cuomo prides himself on

the attention he pays to the area north and west of Albany, and he’ll likely impress that priority on the chamber’s leadership. And lastly, basic self-interest should encourage Senate Dems to play nice with Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and all points in between. If they want to keep or expand their majority in the 2020 elections, they’ll want to make inroads into Upstate’s regions, not forsake them. The Assembly and Senate will redraw their district lines – as well as the state’s Congressional districts – during the 2021 session. Unless state lawmakers overhaul the redistricting process, the majority in each chamber will have a strong influence in where district lines are drawn. Rochester is a heavily Democratic city, and Assembly Democrats have used parts of the city to anchor larger citysuburban districts. And Republicans have carved up the city and combined those slices with suburban and rural towns where GOP registration is higher. The Funke-Lunsford race is a perfect example of how that plays out. But if Democrats hang on to both legislative chambers in 2020, they’ll be in charge of drawing the district lines that will be in place for the following 10 years. And that could mean districts that are more favorable to their candidates. rochestercitynewspaper.com

NOVEMBER 14 - 20, 2018

Metro Justice, Just Leadership USA, VOCAL-NY, and the Rochester Police Accountability Board Alliance will host a program to focus public attention on the problems associated with mass incarceration in Western New York on Friday, November 16. The event, the Truth Commission on Mass Incarceration, is part of a fight to end pre-trial incarceration, eliminate cash-based bail, and reform trial and discovery laws. In Monroe, Erie, and Onondaga Counties alone, more than 3,500 people are incarcerated in

local jails every day. The majority are there because they cannot afford bail, according to the reform activists. The Truth Commission event will be held at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, 141 Adams Street, at 6 p.m. Dinner will be provided, and transportation is also available. Information: Ashley Gantt at 6907844. RSVP: mohini@ metrojustice.org.

LA-style street food on the canal [ REVIEW ] BY RACHEL CRAWFORD

Michael Pavone, Anthony Harlow, and former Itacate owner Jose Abarca recently opened a taqueria in Fairport along the Erie Canal. Named after Jose’s wife, Lulu Taqueria is located at The Box Factory, with dining room windows facing the waterway and outdoor seating along the canal. During any season, the location of the restaurant is a good excuse for city dwellers to stop for lunch before or after work, and walk along the canal or visit Fairport’s quaint shops and water views. Before Lulu opened, the owners had to figure out how to describe their food to customers. “There were so many people who didn’t know what a taqueria was or even how to say it,” Pavone says. “And then it was: ‘You’re a taqueria but you have a chicken sandwich on the menu.’ And we were like, yeah we do, because these are our LA favorites that we want to share.” Pavone adds that he finds the coolest part of being a chef is finding food you love all the way

across the country and getting to recreate it here in Rochester. “The concept had to fit in with Fairport’s locals,” Pavone says. The menus offers both familiar items like the chicken sandwich and lengua (cow tongue) tacos for more adventurous guests. It’s a special item that he and co-owner and Chef Anthony Harlow wanted to keep on the menu because it’s a taco guests are less likely to find in the area. The menu at Lulu Taqueria focuses on LA street food, so it’s like a translation of a translation of Mexican fare. “We definitely are not an authentic Mexican restaurant,” Pavone says. “What’s interesting, and what a lot of people don’t know, is that Mexican food in LA is very different from what it is in Mexico.” Because Lulu Taqueria emphasizes LA-style tacos — and each one has a specially paired (and house-made) salsa, aioli, or pico de gallo — guests should be sure to order at least one taco from the menu. A quarter of the options are vegetarian and more than half are pescetarian.

The cauliflower taco has sweet, spicy, and nutty flavors and a lot of crunch. This is the only taco featuring the house-made honey roja salsa, which it makes the dish especially fun. For those wanting to try the seafood options, the smoked swordfish is actually two meaty tacos for only $7.25 with a house-made salsa verde. But keep an eye on the menu for new items as they occasionally switch it up.

At the bar, Lulu accommodates the local clientele who expect to be able to order a light lager and also offers brews from OSB Ciderworks as well as Lord Hobo. And they have several mezcal and tequila cocktails, all of which are under ten dollars. Most of the cocktails have a refreshing, citrus flavor and right now and they are featuring a mango margarita with cinnamon ($8), in theme of autumnal spices. Pavone and Cure’s Sous Chef Kyle Shafer recently collaborated on a French-Mexican fusion menu in November. They plan to host another collaboration in December, so keep an eye on their next event. Lulu Taqueria is located at 6 North Main Street in Fairport, and is open year-round. The menu is the same for lunch and dinner, and there is also a “rapido! rapido!” menu that accommodates the short, work-day lunch break. Hours are Tuesday through Thursday, 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., closed Sunday and Monday. 377-0410; luluroc.com. rochestercitynewspaper.com

Music tons of chill bump moments. We are proud to be considered a band that carries the sound forward while regarding the roots of the entire, undying movement of making music that moves the mind, body and soul. What are the restrictions in playing this music period correctly?

A challenge has been to fully include horns and background singers. Ideally, we would always love to incorporate the lushness of the horns and background vocals, but it’s not always in the cards for us, budget-wise. That is a challenge that we face all too often, and I’ve grown very attached to having a horn section for the live shows. Another common challenge with soul bands is the amount of time it takes to record and co-produce the tracks. Due to schedules and upwards of 13 people on one track, just getting overdubs done could take weeks. It’s that much more rewarding, however, to listen back to all the tracks on “State of All Things” now that they are finally on wax. How do you break out of the cookie cutter?

Ruby Velle & The Soulphonics: more than a soul revival band. PHOTO BY JASON HALES

Being their own legend Ruby Velle & The Soulphonics THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15 FLOUR CITY STATION, 170 EAST AVENUE 8 P.M | AGES 21 AND OVER | $10 | FLOURCITYSTATION.COM; RUBYVELLEANDTHESOULPHONICS.COM [ INTERVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE

With a stomp and a wink, Atlanta-based soulsters Ruby Velle & The Soulphonics serve up a sweet sound with maximum shake appeal and an undeniable throb. It’ll hit you where you move. Velle’s pipes lead the seduction, as the band lays down a deep shag where she can wiggle her toes and wail. Sure, it’s nouveau-soul, in that it’s recorded and performed now, and the band makes damn sure it’s both lyrically relevant and 12 CITY NOVEMBER 14 - 20, 2018

musically reverent. They don’t pretend to be something they ain’t. There are no histrionics or emotional lampoons. Simply put, Ruby Velle & The Soulphonics play music that soothes and “sassifies,” comforts and cajoles. It’s a powerful message, and it’s something fun to do with your feet while Velle gives you the news. The band has a new record in tow called “The State of All Things,” which plays on like it was recorded back in the original soul days. If the band keeps on slingin’ and singin’ soul this way, those days are gonna be now. We shot Miss Velle some questions and she fired back some answers. An edited transcript follows. CITY: You write in a lot of odd time signatures. Why? RUBY VELLE: I wouldn’t say there are a

lot of odd time signatures, but we certainly

have our share of minor key songs. Our timing approach is sometimes as analog as our recording process, so there are certain parts written-to-feel and certain parts that are straight ahead. There is always the need to provide variety to a band’s musical landscape, especially after being together for over a decade, so perhaps we just like to mix things up. You strike me as a soul band more than a soul revival band. What’s the difference to you?

Thank you. The difference to us has always been the authenticity behind the music. Is there an understanding from the artists that they are made better by those who have come before? Can you not just mimic but become part of the fabric of that genre? That is the journey and experiment we’ve taken with The Soulphonics, and it’s been one of great exploration; lots of mistakes, and

I’ve always said, “Be your own legend.” So in that respect I look to the artists of the past who blazed trails, as we look to blaze a few of our own. The diversity we bring as a band is making its own statement, and I know that my strong voice for intersectional feminism in this space has made us a soul band that truly cares and wants to better the environment around us. Maybe the new music artist has this responsibility from the jump, or maybe I’m just tired of being silent when there is so much marginalization happening. Our songs certainly don’t hold back from expressing these frustrating truths of society, and I would say that has given us an edge, but the tone of it all actually pulls from the roots of the genre, and it’s nothing new. We are just making the music we love in a very independent way and hoping that our fans enjoy it as well. What is something your fans get wrong about the group?

Well, recently some fans and publications have been listing me as “formerly” of The Soulphonics, but that’s not accurate. While I recently launched some new sounds as a solo artist and writer, I’m very much still fronting The Soulphonics and planning future tour dates in promotion of “State of All Things,” proving that strong women can add careers at a moment’s notice. Ya dig?

Guide

[ INTRODUCTION ] BY DANIEL J. KUSHNER

We all know the holidays can be hectic. Important dinners with friends and family, congested parking lots, and the scourge that is December shopping all loom on the horizon. But this time of year doesn’t have to be an anxious one. In this year’s Holiday Guide, we’ve got the prescription for a more relaxed, yet still festive season, with plenty of ideas for slowing things down, whether you’re celebrating Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, or the winter solstice. If you’re tired of the non-stop commercialism and bland, ready-made décor that can take over this time of year, Kathy Laluk offers up some home-made alternatives, as well as suggestions for local, family-friendly activities that will bring you closer together this holiday season. It all starts on Page 16. After a busy day of running errands and prepping for festivities, a glass of wine can be quite inviting. On Page 20, Mary Rice shares insider information on the fruit of the vine, talking with local wine industry specialists about their tips for tasty Yuletide beverages and crowdpleasing food pairings. And what would the holidays be without a good story? On Page 24, Rachel Crawford points book lovers to an intriguing mix of heartwarming novels, chilling short narratives, and scintillating poetry. Plus, if you’re looking for a thoughtful gift, check out the suggestions for locally-published books. Adam Lubitow has a batch of holiday movies for everyone, whether you’re looking for a silly comedy, an alluring thriller, or an eccentric indie flick. They may not be the first films you think of as holiday fare, but don’t let that stop you. This truly varied list starts on Page 28. However you decide to make merry this season, we hope this guide helps.

CRAFTING Through the Holidays

[ ARTS & CRAFTS ] BY KATHY LALUK

Finding time to get the right gifts, decorate your house and spend time with family can be difficult in our fast-paced world. So this holiday season, spare yourself the stress and do all three at once – DIY! Crafts can make thoughtful gifts, be used as decorations, and be the perfect way to spend time with your family without trying to drag screaming kids through the mall. Below are some suggestions of what to make, events that encourage crafty creativity, and resources to find all the supplies you’ll need to stuff in your stocking. It doesn’t take long after Thanksgiving (hell, sometimes it’s before Thanksgiving) for Christmas decorations to pop up. Along with them come signs for Christmas trees. And yeah, you can hang standard tinsel and round, red ornaments on the tree. But the decorations I still cherish are ones I made as a kid: Popsicle stick stars and snowflakes; clothespin

angels; and felt, handprint mittens shellacked with glitter glue. The Monroe County Library system is encouraging artists young and old to make ornaments for its annual display and scavenger hunt. You can use any materials you like, as long as the ornament is 18 to 36 inches wide, 48 inches tall, and it weighs less than five pounds (they are going to be hanging up after all). Families can work together on a project on Monday, November 19 and Monday, November 26 from 10am-6pm at the Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County (115 South Avenue). Visit roccitylibrary.

Feeling Crafty?

TAG @ROCCITYNEWS IN YOUR HOLIDAY CRAFT PROJECTS TO WIN TICKETS TO LOCAL EVENTS

Try using Popsicle sticks, glue and craft paper to have your kids fashion their own menorah or kinara for Hanukkah and Kwanzaa, respectively. Cut up paper plates or coffee filters to make snowflakes. Maybe this year, skip the fancy, glossypicture holiday card you can print and order online. Instead, keep the kiddos occupied for hours by having them create their own one-of-a-kind holiday cards to send to friends and family.

Out in Fairport, Craft Bits & Pieces (138 Fairport Village Landing ) sells

exactly that, and more. The craft supply and home décor retail shop also provides good holiday cheer. Sales there benefit the Fairport/Perinton Senior Living Council. Bead Breakout (2314 Monroe Avenue) , as its name suggests, is focused on beadwork and jewelry-making. You don’t have to spend a fortune for jewelry when you can make something extra special for mom, grandma or your wife. If you’re looking for a daytrip with educational crafting, try Crafts at Christmas at the Genesee Village Country & Museum (1410 Flint Hill Road, Mumford) on Saturday, November

When you do need supplies, consider checking out some of the local art shops in town instead of the big box stores. They often have more unique finds, and usually have someone on hand who can offer advice. In some cases, someone may even teach you how to make something. As the name would suggest, Neighborhood of the Arts is a hotbed for crafters and art supplies. Studio 34 Creative Arts Learning Center (34 Elton Street) , for example, allows artists to buy supplies and take classes in the same space; possible artistic mediums include everything from glasswork to pottery to photography. The Purple Painted Lady in Village Gate (274 North Goodman Street) sells more finished products

than supplies, but they also offer painting classes. There are also store locations in Macedon and in Greece. Not far from NOTA, in the South Wedge, Little Button Craft (658 South Avenue) is a gallery that features work by local artists, who sometimes offer classes in their given field. Learn to sew a doll or paint a masterpiece with your family in tow! 18 CITY HOLIDAY GUIDE 2018

17 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The staff there will teach you how to make five traditional crafts from 19th-century American history. They’ll also show you how people from that time period made everyday items, like soap and sausage. It’s $10 admission for adults, but kids 17 and under are free. Visit gvc.org for more information.

For something a bit different, consider baking as a family craft. Dig out some old family recipes for cookies, pies, hot cocoa, latkes, and other delicious holiday treats and test them out. Or if you’re not the baking type, check out Holidays at the Market (Rochester Public Market, 280 North Union Street) on Sundays, November 25 and

December 2, 9 and 16 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. In addition to checking out local crafters’ wares (a great place to snag a unique holiday gift), you can decorate – and eat – holiday cookies (while supplies last!).

PAIR, POUR, PARTY

Local wine experts on what to pour this holiday season [ WINE ] BY MARY RICE

Is there any beverage as festive as wine? Whether you’re washing down turkey and gravy with a crisp local vintage, celebrating Hanukkah with a kosher bottle, clinking steaming mugs of Christmassy glühwein, or uncorking champagne in the final hours or 2018, wine has a place at the holiday table.

Trying to choose your perfect bottle (or bottles) from the enormous variety available isn’t always so merry and bright, however, which is why we sought some professional help. We asked three local wine experts – one wine merchant, one winery owner, and one sommelier – to weigh in on what you should be drinking and serving this holiday season.

PINNACLE WINE & LIQUOR

Cooler weather sees Pinnacle Wine & Liquor at 1720 Monroe Avenue in Brighton swapping out summery whites and rosés for deeper, cozier reds. At the family-run store, which specializes in French and Italian wines, expect to see hearty Rhône Valley reds and spicy, fruity dolcettos moving into the spotlight, according to Store Manager Matt Yaeger. Around Thanksgiving, Yaeger says he often sees the same wines prescribed for the big day. Year after year, pinot noirs and rieslings are cited as good companions for the roasted bird. He likes to nudge his customers off the beaten track toward lesser-known wines. For a real conversation starter, Yaeger suggests serving orange wine, a skin-contacted white wine made by pressing white grapes and fermenting the juice in contact with the skins and pips. The resulting wine is amber or orange in color, with a “light presence, but more tannins and structure,” he says. Redolent of dried fruit and baking spices, orange wine pairs beautifully with the warmer, deeper flavors of fall and winter, according to Yaeger. And don’t forget to pick out something to serve with dessert, he adds. A Finger Lakes ice wine, bittersweet amaro liqueur, or a bottle of Banyuls (a French, red dessert wine) will all help bring your meal to a satisfying close.

In the run-up to Christmas, Pinnacle sees plenty of customers shopping for wines to gift. When someone asks for help choosing wines for a loved one, Yaeger says he routinely asks, “What’s their personality?” For a memorable present that’s also a bangon trend, try gifting a wine made from grapes grown in volcanic soils, Yaeger says. He points out that volcanic wines are edgy, complex, and make a great gift for the unconventional wine drinker in your life.

Lisa Hallgren R AV I N E S W I N E C E L L A R S

In the Finger Lakes region, Ravines Wine Cellars (400 Barracks Road, Geneva) is in the midst of its busy season. The winery makes “food-friendly” wines and specializes in teaching its visitors how to make successful pairings, Coowner and National Sales Director Lisa Hallgren explains. Every fall, the winery develops a new set of Thanksgiving recipes designed to complement its wines. For visitors who want to learn more about pairing, Hallgren recommends the winery’s weekend dining series, “The Ravinous Table.” The dinners, which are scheduled for every Saturday through the end of 2018, include a cellar tour, dinner prepared by the winery’s chef, plus four different wine pairings served by Ravines’ wine steward.

The Thanksgiving season typically sees a surge in demand for the winery’s dry riesling, Hallgren says, explaining that its acidity helps to cut through the rich, fatty flavors of gravy and butter. A favorite of The New York Times Wine Critic Eric Asimov, Ravines’ dry rieslings retail for $15 to $30, depending on the vintage. Come Christmastime, Hallgren recommends pouring a soft, complex red blend like Ravines’ Maximilien, a blend of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, and merlot grapes that evokes plums and cloves.

Elle Andrews FLIGHT WINE BAR

Elle Andrews, Sommelier and General Manager of Flight Wine Bar in Corn Hill Landing (262 Exchange Boulevard), has helped so many customers choose wine to serve at events that she developed her own set of “rules.” Rule number one? “Just don’t run out,” Andrews says. But that doesn’t mean you should buy a whole case of just one wine. “You need to have options,” she says, noting that people often make the mistake of trying to pair one wine with one food – say, the Thanksgiving turkey – when they have lots of elements on the table to consider. “Look at the overall picture of the Thanksgiving table,” Andrews says. “It’s unlikely you can control all the flavors.” She points out that you can’t plan what dishes your dinner guests might bring.

Often, once all the delicious side dishes have been accounted for, the turkey is the least important element in the entire meal. Because there are so many flavors going on in a large holiday meal, Andrews always recommends aiming for the middle when it comes to the wine. “Think in larger terms about what’s most appealing,” Andrews says. “You want a wine that complements your food, not overshadows it.” Andrews also urges drinkers to be curious and interesting with their choices. “There are so many wines to choose from,” she says, adding that lesser-known wines can be quite a bargain. She encourages customers to switch out familiar standards like chardonnay and pinot noir for herbal chenin blancs, aromatic gewürztraminers, or flavorful, affordable Rhône Valley red or white blends. Andrews’ personal go-to is rosé sparkling wine. “It goes with absolutely everything,” she says, especially salty, rich holiday foods. Andrews’ last piece of advice to holiday hosts is not to fuss too much. “Relax, it’s just wine,” she says. rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 23

HOLIDAY ESCAPISM

A suggested reading list [ LITERATURE ] BY RACHEL CRAWFORD

Longer days and shorter nights are officially upon us, and that means itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the perfect time of year to open a good book. Some readers just need to be reminded of what already sits on their shelves, while others are looking for something different or contemporary. And sometimes reading is just a reprieve from the holiday stressors in general. Here are a few different categories for finding the right book this year, either as a gift to a loved one or as a form of escapism for oneself. FOR MORE ON HOLIDAY READS SEE PAGE 14

A CLASSIC

“Little Women” is a timeless American novel and it is seen as a fairly typical Christmas read. One of the most progressive books of its time, the novel focuses on the matriarchal structure of the Civil War-era family. It was inherently feminist before “feminism” was even a word. “Little Women” is not just relevant to the holiday season because of the setting early in the novel (or the chapter title that clearly denotes “A Merry Christmas”). What makes it so appealing during this time of year is its warming humanity – the emphasis that author Louisa May Alcott places on love and forgiveness, on family and neighbors. During a time of year when we may be forced to cope with familial struggles and partake in traditions we would rather avoid, readers are reminded to put thought into giving to others as they share moments of grief and joy alike with the novel’s March family and its four daughters. The charming realism of “Little Women” –

COLD WEATHER READS

No one wants to lug a 500-page book to the beach or the park. Readers tend to save thicker books for short winter days. Russian novels in particular seem like ideal winter reads, and Americans often think of them as heavier in both weight and content. But for those who have already dabbled in the Golden Age novels of Dostoevsky and Tolstoy, and have Pushkin and Nabokov on their shelves, it might be worthwhile to visit the Silver Age. The “Collected Stories of Ivan Bunin,” translated by Graham Hettlinger, isn’t likely to show up on a college syllabus, but Bunin was the first Russian writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. He believed that poetry and literature should not be mutually exclusive, and this is evident in

his short story “Light Breathing.” The tragic tale is a sensuous portrait of a young girl. The circular plot (only about six pages long) begins and ends at the foot of an oak cross in a graveyard. “The True Deceiver” is a short novel written by Finnish author Tove Jansson and translated by Thomas Teal. The setting, a small Scandinavian village, is painted white with snow – it veils windows and doorways, and weighs down the rooftops. The snow is almost as active in the story as the two main characters: the yellow-eyed, mathematical, and determined Katri; and Anna, who lives alone “with all her money.” The sentences are structured simply and concisely, but the subtleties in the language are provocative, creating tension that makes the reader question the motives of the characters. This is likely why “The True Deceiver” won the Best Translated Book Award in 2011. SHOP LOCAL

Rochestarians have every reason to shop locally every day of the year, with the myriad small businesses and nonprofit organizations in town. For readers and gift-givers who are looking to stimulate the local economy, there are some great presses from which to purchase books (really, Amazon will persevere). Rochester’s BOA Editions, a notfor-profit publisher, has been releasing poetry and non-fiction for over forty years. In September, BOA released a book of poems titled “Clues from the Animal Kingdom” by Christopher Kennedy. Poems such as “Midnight Sundial” and “Like Galileo” touch on a

shared loneliness and the poet’s graceful, existential grief. The book of poems has been praised by both George Saunders and Dave Eggers, and is a winter read that is sure to connect those of us who feel a pertinent sense of loneliness during the holidays. “Radiant Terminus” by Antoine Volodine, translated from the French by Jeffrey Zuckerman, is published by another Rochester press, Open Letter Books. The futurist novel is post-apocalyptic, taking place after the Second Soviet Union and after much of the human race has been decimated by nuclear meltdowns. In addition to the book, readers can follow a podcast called the Two Month Review, which is hosted by Open Letter Books publisher Chad Post and Brian Wood (who will be releasing a book of short stories with BOA in the fall of 2019). The “Two Month Review” is a fun and approachable way of participating in a conversation about books without having to commit to a book club. “Radiant Terminus” will be covered by the podcast next year. rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 27

BRING SOME CORN FOR POPPIN’ A holiday film primer [ FILM ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

During Rochester’s endless winters, there’s nothing I like better than grabbing a bowl of popcorn and a mug of hot cocoa, and cuddling up under a blanket to watch a movie. Especially now, because ‘tis the season for holiday movies. Over the years, the cinematic landscape has accumulated holiday flicks of every shape and stripe. There’s bound to be a film to suit your mood, whether you want to lean into the spirit of the season or you are looking for an antidote from it. And by now even some of the non-traditional Christmas movies have become seasonal classics in their own right. Think “Gremlins” and “Die Hard.” The latter film is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, and you’ve got two options to catch it on the big screen when both the Little and the Dryden Theatre screen the action masterpiece on December 15. Back in 2015, we offered up some suggestions for non-traditional holiday flicks from a variety of genres. So if you’ve exhausted our last list, here are a few more additions to the holiday canon.

HOLIDAY DRAMA The holidays can be a lonely time for many of us, and master filmmaker Wong Kar-wai understands that all too well. In his exquisitely melancholic love story “2046,” (a sequel of sorts to his arthouse favorite “In the Mood for Love”) Tony Leung Chiu Wai stars as a science-fiction writer whose memory shifts from Hong Kong in the 1960’s to the imagined future of the film’s title and the various women who pass through his life. A gorgeous and bittersweet fever dream.

Christmas is woven throughout “Eyes Wide Shut,” Stanley Kubrick’s enigmatic

tale of marital infidelity and jealousy starring then-married couple Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman as Dr. Bill and Alice Harford. Her confession of fantasizing about another man sets Bill off on a paranoia-fueled journey through New York City’s sexual underground. This slippery morality play is sure to add a bit of bite to any cold winter night. Before “The Florida Project,” Sean Baker directed the electrifying “Tangerine,” which follows transgender sex workers Sin-Dee and Alexandra (played by Kitana Kiki Rodriguez and Mya Taylor) across LA as Sin-Dee tracks down her unfaithful boyfriend/pimp on Christmas Eve. Equally hilarious and heartfelt, it’s the perfect mix of salty and sweet.

HO-HO-HO If a raucous comedy is more your style, 2015’s “The Night Before” is for you. Seth Rogen, Joseph Gordon Levitt, and Anthony Mackie make an unexpectedly wonderful comedic team, playing three lifelong friends whose yearly tradition of spending Christmas Eve partying together threatens to come to an end as adult responsibilities beckon. Plus, there’s a delightfully bonkers performance by Michael Shannon as the group’s drug dealer and spiritual guide. In “A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas,” the stoner duo sets off on a mission to find the perfect Christmas tree rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 29

after Kumar accidentally burns down Harold’s father-in-law’s prized pine. Festive and raunchy hijinks ensue.

CRIMINAL MISCHIEF John Cusack and Billy Bob Thornton play a lawyer and a shady businessman who team up to relieve their mobster boss of a few million dollars on Christmas Eve in “The Ice Harvest,” a heist thriller with a gleefully icy black heart. Drugs, prostitution, gangsters: what’s more festive than that? Christmas serves as the backdrop to Curtis Hanson’s Oscar-

nominated neo-noir “L.A. Confidential.” Based on the novel by James Ellroy, the plot revolves around three 1950’s police detectives (played by Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce, and disgraced actor Kevin Spacey) who investigate a series of murders in crime-ridden Los Angeles. The fizzy murder mystery “The Thin Man” stars William Powell and Myrna Loy as the iconic, hard-drinking, and heavy-bantering husband-and-wife detective team Nick and Nora Charles. In their first outing, they take on the case of a missing inventor while on holiday in New York, simply because they’ve got nothing better to do.

MERRY MAYHEM Last year’s totally fun “Better Watch Out” provided a Yuletide twist on the

thriller genre, as a babysitter and her tween charges fend off home invaders with cunning ingenuity. Think of it as a more realistically bloody take on “Home Alone.” “Trick ‘r Treat” director Michael Dougherty creates his own nightmare before Christmas with “Krampus,” a horror-comedy in which a family is terrorized by the titular horned demon of European folklore. The anti-Santa Claus, he knows when you’ve been naughty, and will punish any misbehavior by dragging you straight to Hell.

If you’d rather head out to the movies than stay in, “Anna and the Apocalypse” gets a theatrical release on November 30. It’s a Christmas zombie movie musical, and I mean, doesn’t that sound amazing?

BURTON BONANZA Tim Burton’s love letter to the outcasts and misfits of the world, “Edward Scissorhands” offers a winter wonderland of charms amidst its tale of a misunderstood creation with, well, scissors for hands. The bat, the cat, and the penguin face off in the director’s “Batman Returns” (which remains my favorite big screen treatment of the Dark Knight). This is the superhero flick that taught me the valuable lesson that “mistletoe can be deadly if you eat it, but a kiss can be even deadlier if you mean it.”

ROCK | CHRIS ROBINSON BROTHERHOOD

When listening to the Robinson brothers’ post-Black Crowes work it shows where each Robinson defined themselves as individual artists. Each brother’s solo work wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t the Crowes. Chris Robinson has had the Brotherhood for just over 15 years and though miles away from what he’s done, this is the jam-band aesthetic he’s been circling the runway for all along. It doesn’t sound forced. Rhythmically, it lopes gently and dreamy, lending itself to extrapolated jams that meander at times in search of a musical peace. The Chris Robinson Brotherhood plays on Saturday, November 17, 8 p.m. at Anthology, 336 East Avenue. $25-$249. 4841964. anthologylive.com; chrisrobinsonbrotherhood.com — BY FRANK DE BLASE

James Heath as David Hochstein and Kate Osher as Ernestine in “BRAVURA: The Life and Death of David Hochstein.” PHOTO BY ANNETTE DRAGON

War requiem “BRAVURA: The Life and Death of David Hochstein” REVIEWED SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10 CONTINUES THROUGH SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 18 MULTI-USE COMMUNITY CULTURAL CENTER, 142 ATLANTIC AVENUE | $15 | MUCCC.ORG [ REVIEW ] BY DANIEL J. KUSHNER

Directed by Donald B. Bartalo, “BRAVURA: The Life and Death of David Hochstein,” presented by the Multi-use Community Cultural Center and Hummingbird Theatre Co., is the latest in a recent string of biographical plays featuring prominent historical Rochesterians. And if the success of “Revival: The Resurrection of Son House” and “The Agitators” is any indicator, playwright Stuart Loeb’s theatrical profile of Hochstein will resonate with local audiences. 34 CITY NOVEMBER 14 - 20, 2018

The play tells the story of the gifted violinist who was tragically killed during World War I at the age of 26, and whose name is now synonymous with meaningful music education in Rochester. But there are inherent inconsistencies in the story which ultimately undercut a well-written script, a particularly compelling first half, and a commanding performance from actor James Heath as the title character. The result is a promising play that can’t seem to decide whether to be a complex study of a young man choosing between his life’s calling and his sense of moral obligation, or a sobering essay on the destructiveness of war. Smartly constructed as a series of vignettes in predominantly chronological order, “Bravura” centers on David Hochstein’s fateful decision to enlist the army and fight overseas in World War I. He refuses to change his mind, even after receiving a deferment to stay home, attend to his mother, and pursue his burgeoning musical career as a dynamic violin soloist. A character simply called “Boy,” played with sincerity and pathos by Reece Gurell,

accompanies the adult Hochstein throughout the play. The child is clearly a tangible metaphor for the lost promise of Hochstein’s youth, with whom the adult Hochstein is having an internal conversation. But the play contradicts itself when the character of George Eastman, played by David Byrne, acknowledges the boy’s physical presence. Hochstein eventually makes the seemingly inexplicable choice to join the war effort. We get closest to understanding what motivated Hochstein in an especially poignant mini-monologue, in which he challenges us to imagine great composers deprived of their character: Beethoven, without valor; Tchaikovsky, without passion; and Mozart, without joy. Voiced with conviction by Heath, the beleaguered yet resolute Hochstein declares: “There is no harmony in a world of evil and wrongdoing.” Here, we see an artist so distraught by the horrors of reality that he feels the only response is to fight them head-on, in hopes that he can help to make the world a place where music makes sense again.

With energetic pacing and dialogue that crackles with wit and warmth, Hochstein interacts with the people closest to him — his loving mother Helena (Denise Bartalo), his iconoclastic, anarchist aunt Emma Goldman (Stephanie Roosa), his would-be wife Ernestine (Kate Osher), the violin teacher Leopold Auer (Byrne) — and they all urge him not to go off to war. In the first two acts of the play, Loeb provides the crux of the conflict: how can Hochstein reconcile his immense musical talent and his responsibility to those who are emotionally invested in him with his own sense of duty? This tension is most effective in the relationship between Hochstein and Ernestine, as their obvious love and affection for one another is tested by the war. Osher’s portrayal of love interest-turned-army nurse Ernestine is subtle and nuanced, with a full dramatic range that makes believable the character’s transition from provincial innocence to desperation and the wisdom that comes from abject loss. Heath and Osher have a touching chemistry, tragically demonstrating a romance interrupted by war. Similarly, the play itself seems interrupted. Once Act III begins, and the finality of Hochstein’s decision to fight sets in, the tone shifts dramatically. What was a fascinating look at a man at a crossroads becomes an unrelenting war epic, in which Hochstein’s distinctive life and values are consumed (perhaps fittingly) by the Great War. While this shift is understandable, it feels as if the audience is watching two plays. Whereas the first play presents a clear plot construction and an intriguing moral conundrum, the second play is dragged down by its own heavy-handedness. In its admirable attempt to demonstrate the devastating death toll that war exacts, Loeb’s drama becomes stuck in a morass, in which the ultimate message of the play is obscured. To its credit, “Bravura” doesn’t make a moral judgment on Hochstein, and it doesn’t tell the audience how it should feel about the musician’s fateful choices. But the play doesn’t offer a consistent perspective on this matter, either. On the one hand, the audience is meant to laud Hochstein’s bravery and heroism. On the other hand, virtually all of the play’s other characters insist on the error of his decision, which paints him as well-intentioned but ultimately misguided, foolish, and even reckless. One especially heartbreaking scene shows Hochstein, now a lieutenant, symbolically charging into battle with his men, violin in hand. In the end, are we to praise Hochstein’s actions as “right,” or decry war and the way it indiscriminately snuffs out lives such as Hochstein’s? Perhaps we’re meant to feel both, but the ambiguity takes away from any larger takeaway, particularly as it pertains to the Rochester musician’s legacy.

ART-FILM | HER VOICE CARRIES SCREENING

Rochester-based artist and internationally-known muralist Sarah Rutherford’s years-in-the-making mural series, “Her Voice Carries” was an artistic quest to understand how the women of Rochester have come to shape the city. A documentary film named for her mural series explores the stories of the women in the murals, and Rutherford’s own journey of creating the large-scale works. The captivating story brings to light the extraordinary work done by ordinary people in our community, bringing together dramatic visuals, compelling storytelling, and inspirational individuals. Rutherford’s “Her Voice Carries murals” are installed at the Memorial Art Gallery and around the city of Rochester. See locations online at hervoicecarries.blog. “Her Voice Carries” will be screened at the Memorial Art Gallery, 500 University Avenue, on Thursday, November 15, at 7 p.m. The screening is included in museum admission ($6-$15, half price after 5 p.m. on Thursdays. 276-8900; mag.rochester.edu. — BY AMANDA LYNN

Film

Viola Davis and Cynthia Erivo in “Widows.” PHOTO COURTESY TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX

The new avengers “Widows” (R), DIRECTED BY STEVE MCQUEEN OPENS FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16 [ PREVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

With his films “Hunger,” “Shame,” and “12 Years a Slave,” Steve McQueen has made a name for himself directing stories which inject a searing intensity and immediacy to what could be sedate prestige dramas. So it’s no surprise

that when he branches out to more popcorn-y entertainment with the crime drama “Widows,” he still delivers a movie with plenty on its mind. Focusing on a group of widows who take up the mantle of their career criminal spouses, “Widows” was originally filmed in the 80’s as a British TV miniseries. In updating the setting to modern day Chicago, McQueen and writer Gillian Flynn (“Gone Girl”) use the city’s sociopolitical climate to weave issues of race, class, and gender into its pulpy premise, adding an extra layer to what’s already a satisfying thriller.

Viola Davis stars as Veronica, whose husband Harry (Liam Neeson) and his crew are killed attempting to carry out a robbery that goes catastrophically wrong. But it turns out that amongst the money that goes missing in the process is two million dollars from crime boss Jamal Manning (Brian Tyree Henry), and he’d very much like it back. He gives Veronica until the end of the month to repay what her husband owed, or face deadly consequences at the hands of his brother and enforcer Jatemme (a terrifying Daniel Kaluuya).

A connected plotline involves Jamal having tossed his hat into the political ring, facing off in an election to be alderman of the 18th ward against racist incumbent Tom Mulligan (Robert Duvall), who’d like to see his son Jack (Colin Farrell) succeed him in the position. Veronica stumbles across a solution to her troubles when she uncovers Harry’s notebooks of plans for a multi-million robbery. With few options left, she reaches out to the wives of the rest of Harry’s crew, hoping to convince them to help her carry it out. After all, Jamal will soon be their problem too. So we meet Alice (Elizabeth Debicki), an abused wife whose mother (Jacki Weaver) convinces her that her only hope is prostitution; dress shop owner Linda (Michelle Rodriguez); and Amanda (Carrie Coon), who just wants to look out for her infant child. There’s also a late addition in the form of hairdresser Belle (Cynthia Erivo, fresh off her excellent turn in “Bad Times at the El Royale”) who’s recruited to be the women’s driver. Watching this disparate group of women come together as a team is one of the film’s chief pleasures. Motivated by grief and anger at a broken system that, given enough time, corrupts everything it touches, the women decide to fight back. There’s real excitement in seeing them unite and weaponize that system against a world that consistently underestimates them and tries to drag them down. But it’s Viola Davis who owns the movie. For so long content to never ask too many questions about Harry’s work, Veronica turns desperate as her comfortable life crumbles beneath her and her objective becomes pure survival. Davis lets us see Veronica’s transformation, taking control of her life after years of trusting that her husband would provide and take care of her.
