EDITOR'S NOTEBOOK | BY DAVID ANDREATTA
Why does Monroe County have so many legislators? Monroe County voters will cast ballots this week for 29 county legislators. Yeah, that’s right – 29. All the County Legislature seats are up for grabs. Together, those seats comprise the second-largest county legislature in the state, trailing only Albany County, which has an eyebrow-raising 39 legislators. With its roughly 745,000 residents, Monroe County has no true peer in terms of population among counties in New York. But consider that the four counties with larger populations than Monroe (outside of New York City) each has a smaller legislature. Nassau carries 19 legislators. There are 18 in Suffolk. Westchester has 17. Erie gets by with 11. How did we end up with so many legislators? And in an era of property tax caps and rising public pension costs, do we really need them all? Now is a good time to ask because, after the 2020 census, the legislature that will be elected Tuesday will by law appoint a commission to evaluate the legislative districts and, possibly, recommend redrawing them. The legislature was created in 1965, when voters approved an amendment to the county charter to abolish the governing body at the time, which was an unwieldy 43-member board of supervisors composed of representatives from 24 city wards and 19 towns. That set-up gave the representative of a rural outpost like Clarkson, with a population of 3,000 at the time, the same voting power as a representative of Irondequoit, with 60,000 residents. A state judge had ruled the board unconstitutional on the grounds that it violated the “one person, one vote” principle established by the U.S. Supreme Court, which determined state legislatures needed to have representation based on districts of roughly equal populations. Several solutions were proffered. There was state legislation that would have weighted the supervisors’ votes. A bipartisan commission recommended replacing the board with a 19-member “county council.” The independent Bureau of Municipal Research, the predecessor to the Center for Governmental Research in Rochester, called for a legislature of 23 members. Those ideas went nowhere. Then, the Republican and Democratic elections commissioners put forth dueling

plans for a 25-member and 29-member legislature, respectively. News reports from the time suggested there was no science to the number of seats. The focus was on ensuring proportional representation. Eventually, the Democratic plan was put to voters in 1965. The 29 legislators were first elected a year later, in November 1966, and took their seats in 1967, each representing an average of 21,556 people. So, that’s how we got 29 legislators. Now, are they all necessary? Democratic legislators didn’t always think so. In 2010, they introduced a bill to cut the legislature to 15 seats. continues on page 8

[ NEWS IN BRIEF ]
Dinolfo releases budget proposal
County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo released her proposed 2020 budget, under which county tax rate would fall by 10 cents - to $8.79 per $1,000 of assessed value. But property owners might not see their taxes go down. Dinolfo’s proposed budget projects the property tax levy — the amount the county expects to collect in property taxes in 2020 — to rise by $9.5 million, or roughly 2.4 percent, to $403.9 million. A similar increase last year was due largely to revaluations in property assessments that saw home values in the county rise across the board. The spending plan requires approval by the County Legislature, which has historically adopted the county executive’s budget with few modifications.
Early voting turnout reported
Monroe County residents cast 13,892 ballots over the nine days of early voting for this year’s general election, the county Board of Elections announced. The total represents about 3 percent of county’s 458,718 registered voters. The turnout on Sunday, the last day of early voting, was by far the highest over the voting period, with 2,032 votes cast. The previ-

ous Sunday saw the lowest turnout, with 1,198. Of the seven polling sites across the county, Penfield Town Hall drew the most voters, with 3,564 ballots cast. Monroe Community College’s downtown campus drew the fewest, with 793. This year was the first time early voting was permitted in New York.
Eastman School cancels China tour
Facing harsh public criticism, the dean of the Eastman School of Music backpedaled on a plan to remove three South Korean students from an upcoming orchestral tour of China to appease that country’s conditions for the tour. Jamal Rossi, the dean, originally agreed to the prohibition rather than cancel the tour, citing the reputation of the school and its ability to recruit future musicians from China. In a letter addressed to the Eastman community, Rossi stated that the tour would be postponed until visas for all the members of the orchestra, Eastman Philharmonia, could be obtained. China refuses to grant South Korean musicians and artists work visas as retaliation for a missile system the US deployed in South Korea in 2016.

News FARMING | BY TODD ETSHMAN
Civic battle brews in Webster over proposed lettuce farm

The Town of Webster appears to be poised for a civic battle over a proposed indoor lettuce farm on State Road. CEA Fresh Farms, a startup farming operation, filed an application last month to be heard by the town Planning Board. The company wants to build seven 5-acre “controlled-environment” farm buildings to grow red and romaine lettuce on State Road between Salt and County Line roads. The operation would span some 147 acres, according to the company. Keith Sernick, a company lawyer, said CEA was prepared to invest between $175 million and $200 million into the operation, and anticipated employing between 375 and 400 workers within five years. Opposition has surfaced in pockets of the town. Bright green lawn signs reading, “No Grow Factories,” have popped up in yards. The matter has also been hotly debated in a Webster Facebook group. “This project would be better suited in a commercial or industrial zoning area,” resident Jennifer Breunig said. I support real farmers not corporations taking advantage of agricultural zoning.”
Sernick said greenery would conceal the project from the road. Webster Town Supervisor Ronald Nesbitt addressed the criticism in a recent blog post, noting that the land is zoned for agricultural purposes. “Some have said I am at fault for this project coming to town and I should stop it,” Nesbitt wrote, explaining that the only hand he had in the project was responding to a request by CEA for information on available land. Webster has a history of shunning indoor farming operations. Two years ago, vocal opposition to a proposed tomato farm that would have erected greenhouses on State Road near Salt Road forced that company to take its project – and its 100 jobs – to neighboring Ontario and Wayne counties. Informational meetings hosted by CEA are slated for Wednesday, Nov. 6., and Thursday, Nov. 7, at 7 p.m., and on Saturday, Nov. 9, at 10 a.m. at Webster Thomas High School. The Planning Board is slated to take up the matter on Nov. 19. Todd Etshman is a contributing writer to CITY. He can be reached at etshman@juno.com.
Mayor Lovely Warren has submitted legislation to City Council that would authorize a community choice aggregation program — an arrangement that sounds complex and dry, but is a big deal when it comes to making large-scale shifts to renewable power in the region.
ENERGY | BY JEREMY MOULE
Renewable power to the people The City of Rochester wants to launch a program that should save residents and small businesses money on their power bills while also moving them to a climatefriendly electricity supply. Mayor Lovely Warren has submitted legislation to City Council that would authorize a community choice aggregation program — an arrangement that sounds complex and dry, but is a big deal when it comes to making large-scale shifts to renewable power in the region. Through community choice aggregation, local governments procure power on behalf of residents, businesses, and municipal customers from a supplier while the utility company continues to provide transmission and distribution services. By aggregating demand, communities gain leverage to negotiate better rates with competitive suppliers and have access to more green power sources, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. The City of Rochester’s Climate Action Plan sets goals for the city to reduce its carbon emissions, including those generated by homes and businesses. The city generates approximately 1.8 million metric tons of greenhouse gases each year, the equivalent of 380,000 passenger vehicles driven for a year, according to the
plan. One fifth of those emissions are from electricity consumption. Community choice aggregation would let the city line up carbon-free power for its households and businesses, providing a direct way to slash electricity-linked greenhouse gas emissions. “That’s the direction we’re interested in going, either 100 percent renewable or 100 percent fossil-fuel-free,” said Anne Spaulding, manager of the city’s Division of Environmental Quality. Through community choice aggregation, a mechanism the state established in 2016, the city would bid out an electricity supply contract for thousands of households and small businesses. The customers would then buy their power from that supplier through the contract. The city’s buying power should translate to better electricity rates for homeowners and small businesses. The city will also be able to stipulate conditions for bidders to meet, such as providing an all-renewable supply. “This is really where the rubber meets the road on the meaning of local government,” said City Council member Mitch Gruber. The legislation was routed to Council’s Parks and Public Works Committee, which Gruber chairs.
If the Parks & Public Works Committee approves the legislation, it would go to the full Council for consideration later this month. If the legislation passes, the administration can then proceed to the next step of putting out a request for proposals to find an administrator for the program. The administrator would handle public outreach around the new program as well as the technical aspects of electricity supply procurement. The administrator would help the city figure out the best way to incorporate things such as energy efficiency programs or community solar projects, Spaulding said. Officials in Brighton, Irondequoit, and Pittsford approved community choice aggregation programs at the end of 2018 and they’re working together to line up a 100 percent renewable electricity supply for the over 50,000 customers in their communities. They’ve all hired Joule Assets and its local partner, Roctricity, to administer the program. Roctricity is an offshoot of the Rochester People’s Climate Coalition. Sue Hughes-Smith, who led Rochester People’s Climate Coalition’s community choice aggregation push and is now a Roctricity co-owner, is

excited to see the city moving forward on aggregation. The initiative has the potential to shift a large number of electricity customers to renewable supplies and to support local renewable energy projects, Hughes-Smith said. The city could work with other communities to pool their customer bases, increasing everyone’s buying power. The city is “certainly open to working with other municipalities,” Spaulding said. Spaulding anticipated the initiative should be under way by this time next year. Customers shouldn’t notice any changes, she said. Jeremy Moule is CITY's news editor.

ZOO DEATHS | BY DAVID ANDREATTA
Seneca Park Zoo deaths: Nature’s course or animal care concerns?
A pair of Seneca Park Zoo snow leopards nuzzle. PHOTO COURTESY SENECA PARK ZOO
Zoo gets high marks for animal welfare First, it was the snow leopard. Abandoned by his mother after being born outside her maternity den, he died at just eight days old. Then, a red panda suddenly succumbed to a respiratory infection. A spotted hyena, thought to be the oldest in human care, died next. Before long, an African elephant was put down after a chronic foot condition rendered her lame. A string of deaths of crowd-pleasing animals at the Seneca Park Zoo in the last six months has patrons and casual visitors alike wondering why so many animals have been lost. The more suspicious among them question the quality of care being given to the animals. But most, it seems, are simply asking whether the deaths could have been avoided or whether there is something in the water. 6 CITY
NOVEMBER 6 - 12, 2019
A year ago, for instance, an ostrich died when she was attacked by a southern white rhino named Bill living in the same habitat. Three years ago, the zoo lost three sea lions in the span of four months. Larry Staub, director of Monroe County Parks and the zoo, acknowledged such questions are natural. “We hear that as well, and I’ve heard that,” Staub said. “But it is pretty easily explained. Every death here at the zoo has, obviously, a cause, and none of them are welfare related.” A likely answer from the head of a zoo under scrutiny, perhaps. But the best evidence available suggests that animal welfare at the zoo is, for the most part, beyond reproach. The evidence is the zoo’s accreditation report, a 38-page document authored by the primary accrediting organization
in the country, the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, which sets standards for animal care, conservation, education, and scientific research. Member institutions, of which the Seneca Park Zoo is one of 239, are required to undergo accreditation every five years — an exhaustive process that can take six months to a year to complete and requires a multiday inspection by a team of inspectors. Seneca Park Zoo received its most recent accreditation in 2018, the second
year in which the AZA applied new and more stringent animal welfare standards to its accreditation process. The accompanying report for Seneca Park Zoo, which was obtained from the county under the state’s Freedom of Information law, showed that the zoo’s animal care exceeded standards. “The zoo has developed a comprehensive animal welfare program that meets and exceeds new accreditation standards,” the report read. “The program focuses on providing the animals complete choice and control in their environment and routine welfare assessments.” Inspectors, in fact, singled out the zoo’s elephant program as “impressive and clearly focused on safety, excellence in animal training, and welfare.” The assessment covers 328 questions, including 100 between two categories of “Animal Welfare, Care, and Management” (68 questions) and “Veterinary Care” (32 questions). Zoos can answer each question three ways — “yes,” “no,” and “not applicable” – to which AZA inspectors rank the responses “acceptable,” “questionable,” and “unacceptable.” Of the 100 questions in those categories, inspectors found inadequate just three of the answers Seneca Park Zoo provided – marking two “questionable,” meaning the matter was not critical but should be improved soon, and another “unacceptable,” meaning the matter is sub-standard and must be corrected immediately. Inspectors found “unacceptable” the habitats for the red pandas, snow leopards, and sea lions, contending they did not provide enough shade for the animals. Seneca Park Zoo responded by erecting a shelter in the red panda exhibit, and conducted studies in the other habitats that demonstrated there was adequate shade. Inspectors labeled “questionable” the assertion by the zoo that all of its animals were presented in manners that reflect modern zoological practices. They found that the exhibits for the hyena, raccoons, redtailed hawk, and snowy owl were inadequate.
“We agreed with that,” Staub said. “It’s being corrected as we move forward as an institution.” He explained that many of the animals in the exhibits cited were old and that modifying their habitats so late in life could be detrimental to them. He said the snowy owl’s habitat was being upgraded and that the others would be phased out as the animals that occupy them die. The hyena, named Lou, has since died. The raccoons, Buffy and Willow, are both 12 years old and thought to be the oldest in North America.

Seneca Park Zoo is judicious about which animal deaths it announces,
reserving publicity mostly for those animals with whom visitors have made a connection. This year, for instance, the public was made aware of a handful of deaths. But 19 animals have died to date, according to the zoo. They include geckos, a snake, an otter, and a pair of goats. Last year, 25 animals died, 12 of which were beyond their median life expectancy, according to the zoo. The figures do not include invertebrates and fish. “When an animal dies here, the collection of zoos, the AZA, looks at it and sees the cause of death. So we’re being judged on that, too,” said Dr. Louis DiVincenti, the zoo’s director of animal health and conservation. “There’s never been a, ‘Wow! That’s not okay,’ reaction from them.” Indeed, when the three sea lions died in 2016, the zoo’s director at the time asked the AZA and the federal Department of Agriculture, which licenses animal exhibits, to review the sea lion program. “I can tell you that the AZA Accreditation Commission has full confidence in the professionals working at Seneca Park Zoo, and believe they are providing the best care possible for every animal there, young and old,” AZA spokesperson Rob Vernon said. There is no “normal” when it comes to zoo mortality rates, according to zoologists. Each zoo has animals with unique needs. Some zoos, like Seneca Park, have a larger proportion of older animals, most of which were transferred here by zoos looking to introduce breeding programs with younger, more fertile animals. “People say, ‘Why do you have so many old animals?’” Staub said. “It’s because they’re so well cared for and living into old ages. If you didn’t have old animals and deaths at your zoo, something would be wrong.” David Andreatta is CITY’s editor. He can be reached at dandreatta@rochestercitynews.com. rochestercitynewspaper.com

legislators continues from page 3
They estimated it would save taxpayers $500,000 a year when factoring in lawmakers’ salaries and benefits, and bring Monroe in line with most counties. Republicans, who controlled the majority, denounced the proposal as “a power grab” that would “drastically reduce the level of democracy in Monroe County” - the latter being an absurd notion. “While County Legislature Republicans fully support reducing the size and cost of local government, the majority caucus maintains that the legislature should aim to address the recurring causes of the county’s structural deficit with meaningful reform – particularly through relief of unfunded state mandates,” read a statement from the majority. For years, county Republicans have rarely missed an opportunity to lament the county’s “unfunded mandates” expenses the county bears for services that are mandated by the state. County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo did it in introducing her budget last week. But her budget, like every other budget proposed by a Republican county executive in recent memory, considers the County Legislature and the roughly $2.2 million it needs each year to function as a mandated expense. Granted, the expense is a miniscule fraction of the county’s overall spending.
The legislative budget represents just 0.2 percent of the county’s $1.2 billion spending plan. And the county has done a good job keeping legislative spending in check. Legislators’ salaries - $18,000 for the rankand-file and $54,000 for the president haven’t changed in over a decade. But downsizing is an option, if the political will were there. It’s not unprecedented. Erie County has shrunk its legislature three times since 1981, most recently in 2010. Niagara County’s legislature downsized that same year to 15 from 19 seats. Dutchess County, whose legislature was bloated at 35 seats, reduced its seat count to 25 in 2004. Look at it another way. If the U.S. House of Representatives adhered to the ratio of residents to Monroe County legislators, there would be in the neighborhood of 13,000 members of Congress.

“Vegan” and “butcher” are not two words you expect to see side by side. But with the help of Grass Fed, a local purveyor of plant-based meat alternatives, there’s no reason a vegan lifestyle can’t be compatible with a BLT, some chicken schnitzel, or a Thanksgiving turkey. Co-owned by Rob Nipe and Nora Rubel, the new business is the first plant-based “butcher” in the Rochester area, offering a rotating range of meatless meats from bacon to cutlets and Italian sausage. Grass Fed’s operations are based inside the Hungerford building on East Main, near the Rochester Public Market. It shares kitchen
facilities with Eat Me Ice Cream, which specializes in both dairy and vegan frozen desserts. Each week, Grass Fed publishes an online order form from which customers can select the products they would like to pick up the following Monday. The weekly order form is accessible via Grass Fed’s Facebook or Instagram pages, and payment is collected through PayPal. A separate pre-ordering form for vegan Thanksgiving roasts (stuffed or unstuffed) is also available on Grass Fed’s social media. I visited Grass Fed on a recent Monday during its second week of business. It was pickup day, and the week’s orders of vegan bacon, turkey slices, and Italian sausage were neatly wrapped in paper and stacked on a table. I chatted with Nipe as customers trickled in to pick up their orders. Nipe and Rubel have been vegan for about four years; they made the switch primarily for health reasons. But then, Nipe says, “I began to think it was the nicer way to live.”
He says he enjoyed the challenge of reinventing his old favorites and making them vegan-friendly. After reading about The Herbivorous Butcher, a vegan meat and cheese market in Minneapolis, Nipe
reached out to the owners for advice on getting started making and selling plantbased meats. “I’m amazed at how supportive the vegan community is,” Nipe says. Eventually, he and Rubel hope to expand Grass Fed’s operations in order to open a storefront and sell wholesale to restaurants. Grass Fed products are primarily made from vital wheat gluten (also known as seitan) mixed with tofu or beans. Add-ins like soy sauce, miso paste, mushrooms, nutritional yeast, and spices deliver savory, meaty flavors. Ingredients are listed alongside the products on the online order form. I went home with a pack of turkey slices made from vital wheat gluten. The culinary use of this plant protein can be traced as far back as 6th-century China, where it was used as a meat substitute by vegetarian Buddhist monks. Vital wheat gluten is made by washing away the starch from wheat dough until only the sticky, elastic gluten remains. Today, powdered vital wheat gluten is available commercially, and is much easier to work with. “Essentially you’re making a dense bread to get the texture you’re looking for,” Nipe says. When cooked, the finished product has a meaty appearance and texture and can absorb sauces and seasonings. Vital wheat gluten is very high in protein and low in calories, fat, and carbohydrates. Nipe says he’s also working to develop gluten-free products to accommodate more diets. This was my first encounter with vital wheat gluten, and admittedly, I wasn’t sure what to expect. First, I sampled the product on its own. The “turkey” slices were a little spongier than actual deli meat, but the flavor was savory and salty just like the real thing. On a sandwich with all the fixings, I could barely tell the difference. According to Nipe, most of Grass Fed’s customers thus far have been vegan, but there is also interest from omnivorous consumers curious about meat alternatives. Consumer familiarity with plant proteins and meatless meats is growing, in part due to companies like Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat, which produce plant-based meat substitutes that are sold nationwide at chains like Burger King, Denny’s, and TGI Friday’s. “It’s no longer something that’s hidden away in a health food store,” Nipe says. rochestercitynewspaper.com

KINGS MOUNTAIN OF THE
MUSIC | BY FRANK DE BLASE
King Buffalo’s music is big, bold, and beautiful. The band looms, aggressively atmospheric, treading some trippy air in the process; meticulously constructed sounds grow before your very ears. It envelops. It is epic. King Buffalo is frequently pegged as “stoner rock.” The three members of the band — Sean McVay on guitar and vocals, drummer Scott Donaldson, and Dan Reynolds on bass — aren’t opaque or stubborn about discussing whether King Buffalo fits in that idiom. But whether the band’s playing on a big festival stage, in a sweaty dive, or in the studio, King Buffalo just isn’t interested in making the distinction anymore. McVay comes clean: He has his doubts. “The stoner rock community has really been supportive and great,” he says. “But it’s not really our sound. I don’t know if we ever really were stoner rock. I think we play heavy psychedelic music that could be, could be, lumped in with that sort of thing. We’ve always been the black sheep of the genre. We’re not like Fu Manchu or like any of the classic greats.” Jams flow freely from King Buffalo, but remain tethered. This isn’t a free for all, after all. McVay typically starts it off with a swirling, hypnotic guitar drone as the rhythm section lies in wait to drop in at the appropriate spot. By the time the band is rolling at full steam, Reynolds’ bass line plateaus and Donaldson’s drums rumble, with a lot of emphasis on the toms. And the vocals come in like Pink Floyd singing a Gregorian chant in church. The music seems to dive skyward, building and building to an angry crescendo before settling back down like a spent beast. Spin King Buffalo’s latest album, “Longing to Be the Mountain,” and it’s readily apparent. There’s the hazy lope of the opening track, “Morning Song,” which swings lackadaisically only to pound out its outro in sweet relief. Track three, “Cosmonaut,” comes in wide-open to the sonic possibilities. It’s full of jangly, psychedelic guitar, and again the band’s intense volume and tone build up to a beating. Once King Buffalo came together in 2013, out of the ashes of Abandoned Buildings Club and Velvet Elvis, it hit the ground running, releasing its own material despite encountering obstacles like the lack of support from a record label. “We’re in the age of the Internet,” Donaldson says. “People found out about us rather quickly because we put out our first demo for free on Bandcamp. How else are you gonna do it nowadays? You don’t get radio play like you used to.” From the beginning, King Buffalo was hunting for its place and its identity, solidifying itself within established genres. “I think it took some time for us to figure out what our sound was gonna be,” McVay says. “It took a few years of playing together to say, ‘This is our formula.’”

Donaldson says the band has always played what it wanted to play. Peri-fuckin-id. “We didn’t decide, ‘Once we get to this level we’ll make decisions to play the stuff we like,’” he says. “And if we get lumped into a genre, that’s fine. Hopefully the people that liked us when we started will continue to like us.” King Buffalo has kept up with the demands of doing it down-and-DIY, relying on itself to get releases out to fans, although the band has had help with overseas distribution from the German label Stickman Records. This connection serendipitously led to an invitation from Elder guitarist Nick DiSalvo for King Buffalo to play on a Jimi Hendrix compilation. Donaldson received DiSalvo’s phone call and cracked wise. “I said, ‘We’ll totally do that if you’ll take us to Europe on tour,” Donaldson recalls. “He kind of laughed it off, but three months later we were on tour in Europe with them.” King Buffalo is skirting the big time,
but not too big — not big enough to hate, anyway. “We’re not big enough for people to get online and say ‘This band sucks now,’ ” McVay says. “They might, but I think we’re doing pretty OK.” In particular, the band has gained a foothold in Europe. “I think our music is accepted and considered a little more mainstream in Europe than it is in the States,” he says. “There just seems to be more people hungry for heavy psychedelic music in Europe.” This appetite can be found especially at festivals that specifically cater to this kind of music. This past year, King Buffalo played at festivals all over Europe: Bukta (Norway); Black Deer (UK); Desertfest (Berlin and London); Duna Jam (Italy); Red Smoke (Poland); Freak Valley (Germany); and Lake on Fire (Austria), to name a few. There are big crowds and little crowds. The band doesn’t play at these big outdoor soirees night after night, though, and crowd sizes vary wildly. “Even on tour overseas,” McVay says, “We were playing smaller clubs in cities we hadn’t been to before. It’s always interesting playing over there: We’ll play to a few thousand people one night and the next, we’ll be in Bologna, Italy playing to 50 people in a small club. It’s fun to mix it up. With the festivals, the sound is always good and there’s a different kind of energy. A sweaty rock club can be fun, too.” 12 CITY NOVEMBER 6 - 12, 2019

“Unless it’s empty,” Reynolds says. “Then it’s just a sweaty bar and it’s depressing.” McVay says he and the others are looking for common ground, blurring the line between audience and artist. “It depends on the culture of the room sometimes,” he says. “When it’s a small club, they’ll still interact with you. And they let you know if they like it or not. That engagement is good.” “Festivals are better because we’re not under pressure to bring a crowd,” Donaldson says. “Festivals are a whole different animal.” “And they’re probably not there to see us anyway,” Reynolds says. “So we get some new fans hopefully.”
In its live performances, the band brings the heavy heat with songs discovered and explored, then forged into permanence in rehearsal. “For the most part, it starts out with long jams,” McVay says. “We record everything in our rehearsal space. We record hours and hours of jams and riffs. Usually I’ll take it home and listen — ‘Oh that 10 minutes were cool’ — and we’ll start to formulate and adjust the structure. The lyrics come from there.” “He’s the recording wizard and he’s got it all rigged up,” Donaldson says of McVay. “Whether it’s something Sean brought in or in a jam, we can kind of sense, ‘This is done. We can’t jam on this anymore.’”
And even with that self-imposed ceiling, King Buffalo songs frequently clock in at over 10 minutes. Generally, the trio sticks to the script. “Usually, we write them, and play them as they are written,” Reynolds says. “There are definitely some songs that we let go and improvise,” McVay says, “but we don’t want to jam so much that it’s jarring.” Reynolds points out the practical challenges that long improvisations can present when relating to their fans. “It’s hard to make a video out of a 13-minute song,” he says. “Or when you have a 45-minute set to fill: ‘Which of our 20-minute songs do we play?’”

With the 2016 album “Orion,” the songs had a sense of urgency. The band needed product. There was less polish and thought; there was more spontaneous energy. “What I really treat as the beginning of what is now King Buffalo is the ‘Orion’ record, our first full-length,” McVay says. “That’s when we figured out what our sound was really going to be.” Named for the pride of Poseidon’s loins, the album sounds to McVay like a “heavy, fuzzy blanket,” while the 2018 EP “Repeater” included more improvisation and more synthesizers. “Longing to Be the Mountain” drew from both sound worlds.
“We wanted to be as soft as we’d ever been, and loud and rock ‘n’ roll at the same time,” he says. “So that was our dynamic record.” King Buffalo plans on releasing both an EP and an LP next. Each medium scratches its own itch. “I think you can get a little weirder on an EP,” Donaldson says. “You can do what you want. It’s a short release, where I think an LP needs to be a little more complete.” “I like EP’s when it’s a cohesive thought and it’s meant to be an EP,” McVay says. “I like it to be a snapshot, not just a collection of songs.” Talking to the band, you can get a sense of its perseverance, its dedication, and
the musicians’ mutual admiration for one another. It seems nothing could bring them down or prompt them to quit. In the van, it’s pretty boring, all three guys say. There are no alcohol or drug problems or emotional baggage that can derail a tour fairly quickly. “We’re pretty quiet,” McVay says. “Lots of talk radio. We go to bed early.” Though they come from this dirty little city along the mighty Genesee, a King Buffalo sighting in Rochester is becoming increasingly rare. When the band is home, and not recording or playing a gig, the guys like to go and see local favorites like Overhand Sam or False Pockets.
On first glance, the guys in King Buffalo don’t seem like world travelers. But the band you’ll see on the Bug Jar stage, November 23, has played on an island near Sardinia, Italy, been wowed by the mountains in Finland, and dealt with shady promoters — like one in Tulsa, Oklahoma, who came up short with the band’s bread. Reynolds remembers him well: “He tried to pay us in precious gems and CD’s.” Frank De Blase is CITY's music writer. He can be reached at frank@rochestercitynews.com.

Orchestra concert, “Bach to Bartók,” is ambitious. It begins with Ricercar No. 2 from Bach’s “Musical Offering,” in an orchestration by Anton Webern. This exercise in cool classicism is followed by the heated expressionism of Arnold Schoenberg’s “Five Pieces for Orchestra” from 1909, in its RPO premiere. Soloist Tessa Lark (pictured) will essay the ghostly grandeur of Alban Berg’s Violin Concerto. Winding it all up is the virtuosic workout of Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra.

The Old Testament has a lot of rules but nowhere does it say Friday night services can’t swing. Tradition, you say? The Jazz Shabbat tradition is pushing 15 years at Temple B’rith Kodesh. And now the program, a collaboration with members of the Eastman School of Music Jazz Department, has released a CD celebrating Keri Lopatin Berger’s 20th anniversary as cantorial soloist and director of music at the synagogue. The usual way of spicing up a Shabbat service is to add a bit of Klezmer music, but pianist Max Berlin and guitarist Bob Sneider opt for straight-ahead jazz arrangements of contemporary Shabbat standards. Berger’s voice is gorgeously showcased on “Oseh Shalom.” On most of the other tunes, she is skillfully joined in harmony or call-and-response with her husband, Jason Berger. Sneider, Berlin, and trumpeter John Sneider contribute smokin’ solos throughout, while bassist Danny Ziemann and drummer Chase Ellison provide solid support. A Shabbat service and CD release take place Friday, November 8, 7 p.m. at Temple B’rith Kodesh, 2131 Elmwood Avenue. Free. 244-7060. tbk.org. — BY RON NETSKY

YouTube when I suddenly found Sarah Borges, a New England rocker who skates the razor between sweet balladry and rock ‘n’ roll. She was working it out on Elvin Bishop’s “Fooled Around and Fell in Love.” It was beautiful; Borges’ voice has that sweet Wanda Jackson snarl, and right at the tail end of a note, she gives it the berries. For all you sentimental punk rock softies, Borges also tugs away at your heartstrings with a rousing take of X’s “Come Back To Me.” But it’s gritty rock ‘n’ roll where this gal really shines, as she bobs and weaves with the mic like a bantamweight fighter — with a lot to sing about and nothing to lose.

KILBOURN HALL AT EASTMAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC, 26 GIBBS STREET $26 GENERAL ADMISSION; $10 STUDENTS EASTMANTHEATRE.ORG [ FEATURE ] BY DANIEL J. KUSHNER
For the last several years, Eastman Opera Theatre’s annual fall production in the intimate space of Kilbourn Hall has been a consistent source of compelling chamber opera for Rochester audiences. This year, the troupe’s recipe for success varies slightly with a double bill of one-act works, which were created in unusual and harrowing contexts, respectively. 16 CITY NOVEMBER 6 - 12, 2019
From November 7 through 10, EOT’s Associate Artistic Director Stephen Carr leads a dual production of composer Kurt Weill’s pre-World War II cantata “Mahagonny Songspiel” by Viktor Ullmann’s “Der Kaiser von Atlantis” — written while the composer was a prisoner of the Nazis at the Terezín concentration camp. Featuring the poetry of German playwright Bertolt Brecht, Weill’s “Mahagonny Songspiel” is a plotless song cycle about people who, while living in an idealistic city where freedom supposedly reigns, indulge recklessly in greed, sex, and alcohol. At first, this overt critique of capitalism seems like an odd pairing with Ullmann’s opera, itself a bold indictment of fascism. In the German-language chamber opera “Der Kaiser von Atlantis,” also known as “The Emperor of Atlantis” or “Death Abdicates,” a power-crazed and
bloodthirsty dictator calls on Death itself to assist him in his war against the entire world. Death refuses the Emperor and instead makes it so that humans are no longer able to die. The two works both require six performers, which enables the student singers in Eastman’s two different casts to portray separate characters that simultaneously contrast and complement one another. For example, the singer portraying God in “Mahagonny” returns as Death in “Der Kaiser.” Though each work has a distinctive approach to plot, in both dramas the characters find themselves in a kind of limbo between life and death, a purgatory that arises when a society (or a leader) presumes moral authority. Carr sees the one-acts’ differences as complementary. “To me the Ullmann almost felt like an answer to the Weill in some ways,
because the Weill is very determined to not give any answers,” Carr says. “‘All of that resolution you expect from theater, all of that narrative storytellling, that happy ending: We’re not going to give that to you, right?’ But Ullmann, I think, is more about coming to peace somehow with the insanity of what was going on around him.” Ullmann co-wrote “Der Kaiser von Atlantis” with librettist Peter Kien in 1943 while in Nazi captivity, and though the opera was rehearsed at the Terezín camp, it was forbidden to be performed there. Tragically, the two creators were killed at Auschwitz before it was ever staged. The opera finally had its premiere in Amsterdam in 1975. Soprano Rachel Kobernick, who plays the soldier “Bubikopf ” in “Der Kaiser,” says the Jewish composer’s experience during World War II is inextricable from the opera. “Even if we’re not necessarily looking at Kaiser from the perspective of the Holocaust, it’s impossible to deny that it was written in that environment,” Kobernick says. “And so then, when you look at it from that perspective, you can pull out all of these elements from it, and be like, ‘Why is Ullmann saying death must win? What did that mean to him, and then therefore, what does that mean to our characters?’” Beyond the narrative, Ullmann embedded messages in the music itself. The opera opens by referencing wellknown funeral music by composer Josef Suk, before additionally quoting Haydn, Mahler, Wagner, and Bach. Ullmann may have quoted composers that were held in high esteem by the Third Reich as a way to both undercut its message and demonstrate his own connection to that musical tradition, Music Director Wilson Southerland says. While Ullmann was defiant in his art, Weill and Brecht’s “Mahagonny Songspiel” was subversive in its own way. Commissioned in 1927 by a chamber music festival in Baden-Baden with a reputation as a home for high art, Weill responded with a vocal work that utilized the language of popular music, and when premiered, looked a lot like interactive experimental theater. The set was staged as a boxing ring, and a gun was fired to announce the start of the performance.
“That creative spark was all about being provocative.” Carr says, “And that’s where that whole concept of epic theater, Brecht’s ideas of epic theater, met Weill’s love of all these new musical idioms of jazz that were equally jarring.” This idiosyncratic style required a different approach from Southerland’s musicians. “Instrumentation itself is indicative of the style,” he says. “In my rehearsals with the orchestra, I encourage them to bring all of the technical chops, things that Eastman students have, and now let’s make it a little dirtier. Let’s inhabit the style.” “Mahagonny Songspiel” is written in both German and English, a choice that makes sense because its themes take shots both at German society at the time of the Weimar Republic and at America’s identity as a “shining city on a hill,” Carr says. Because the composition is ostensibly a song cycle, there is no explicit storyline and no obvious way to stage it. But Carr found clues in the text to inspire a theme with current-day implications. “‘Mahagonny’ doesn’t really have a story per se, because it’s not an opera,” Carr says. “But the songs together sort of tell the story of people setting out, looking for a better life. So as I was sitting with both of these pieces, immigration is the topic that is being vividly discussed right now in our society. And both of these pieces, to me, seem to speak to that.” With design by Charles Murdock Lucas, both one-act works are set in a location that resembles Ellis Island. In the first half of the performance, “Mahagonny” has a clear 1920’s aesthetic, while in the second half, “Der Kaiser” takes place a few centuries into the future, once sea levels have risen to extremes. As with all Eastman Opera Theatre productions, each of the roles are doublecast, with two sets of students alternating each performance. Southerland will give a talk one hour prior to each performance in Eastman School of Music’s Ray Wright Room (room 120), 26 Gibbs Street. Daniel J. Kushner is CITY’s music editor.

DUBSTEP | KLL SMTH
[ FRI., NOVEMBER 8 ] ACOUSTIC/FOLK
A massive electronic Denver, Colorado sound will roll through Atlantic Avenue when Kris Endland, a.k.a. kLL sMTH, comes to town on Saturday. His music is hypnotic dubstep — robotic in its gait, but with a noble, titan-like stature. The production is a synthesis between computational precision and spiritual reverence, an organic marriage between software sound design and acoustic sampling. Despite the reputation that dubstep can have as abrasive or aggressive, this music is a supremely refreshing addition to the electronic arena — and provides an excellent aesthetic supplement to cyberpunk or anime. Shades of Hudson Mohawke and lo-fi hip-hop appear seamlessly. With growling lows, this music will give you monstrous swag on the dance floor. With over 23,000 followers on SoundCloud, kLL sMTH is a progressive artist who is not to be overlooked. kLL sMTH, UltraSloth, and Frequent, along with Ayahuasca Jones & Bila, will perform at Photo City Improv on Saturday, November 9, 8 p.m. at Photo City Improv, 543 Atlantic Avenue #2. $20.

Years ago one of my younger sisters complained to me that there wasn’t any real magic in the world. We were walking around my neighborhood and I had just found a fourleafed clover (I find them everywhere, all of the time) but that mysterious trick of mine has stopped impressing her, and this time sparked her lament: nothing special would come of it, nothing ever had. No, she had decided, magic wasn’t real, not like the secret, 20 CITY NOVEMBER 6 - 12, 2019
epic, physics-defying things that happen to heroes and heroines in books and on screen. It’s the whole lament of the Peter Pan story, and perhaps most people who grow up to face the responsibilities of survival, pay bills, and panic-bustle through their adult lives. I get it. I’ve had the privilege, in my time getting to know artists and writing about their work, to have met scores of people who believe in magic — not because they haven’t had to grow up and face harsh reality, but because many of them, by nature, look at the world a bit askance and regularly experience private moments of glowing revelation. British artist duo Anderson & Low, who are currently the featured artists at Eastman Museum, are without a doubt of that ilk. Jonathan Anderson and Edwin Low have collaborated for decades, creating mindbending bodies of photographic work and films that vary drastically in style from project to project. But the enduring common denominator in everything they do is observing
some fascinating phenomena in the world, taking the deepest dive into studying it, and finding the cleverest way to share what they saw.
This entails expertly blending reality with artifice, and whenever a seam shows, it comes as a quick wink you’re not even sure you saw. Take, for example, the dreamy, surreal, largescale photographs of their “Voyages” project, which is the body of work that fills the largest gallery at the museum. Each image holds one or more ships, seemingly suspended in or emerging from a milky, semi-opaque ether. If you’d told me the works were modern paintings made after J.M.W. Turner’s romantic ship scenes, I’d have believed you. They’re in fact photographs of model ships in storage at the London Science Museum. Anderson & Low asked to photograph the models, but wanted to capture the scenes they saw when they peered into the plastic-lined crates and beheld the lovingly created replicas of ships bathed in the glowing, diffused light. In some images the wooden frame of the crate juts into the mist, and the fantasy slips slightly as the mind grapples with what it’s seeing. The model-makers spared no painstaking detail in recreating the historic vessels, and though the technique of photographing them through the plastic veils diminishes the details, Anderson & Low have somehow activated the objects and given them the sense of adventure the boats lacked as pristine, static things. The Eastman exhibit features images from several of Anderson & Low’s other bodies of work, as well as fascinating images and objects the duo has pulled from the museum’s extensive archives that fit their thesis of “Voyages and Discoveries,” which they say is about the inner journey taken by viewers when they witness something magical. This includes Carlo Naya’s 1870 albumen silver print “Place St. Marc avec‘leglise. Venise (Plaza with St. Mark’s Basilica, Venice),” which is an empty, ordinary image of a plaza until activated by the lantern projector that reveals a dazzling, fairyland-like scene populated by lights and night revelers. There are countless other works of interest, and the show is worthy of spending hours in discovery mode. My sister was right: magic isn’t like it’s explored in stories. It’s not something that happens to a passive character who’s just going about their life. It’s something we are only privy to from paying attention; it’s a covenant created within us, between phenomena we detect and our unique, individual, processing capacities. It’s about observation, imagination, and in the best cases, it’s translated into sharable work. A number of related talks and events will be presented during the run of the exhibition.

THEATER | ‘DIVISION STREET’
CenterStage Theatre has become a local hub for debuting challenging new plays, with a specific focus on the work of New York City-based playwright Jason Odell Williams. In 2016 CenterStage (along with Skylight Theatre in LA) debuted Williams’ “Church & State,” which was co-developed with CenterStage Artistic Director Ralph Meranto. That work explored how our political system would look if politicians were forthright. Williams’ new comedy-drama, “Division Street,” had its world premiere at JCC CenterStage last weekend.
The product of a two-year collaboration between Williams and Meranto, this new story is by turns tense and lighthearted as it tackles the ever-topical issue of how we think about and discuss race. “Division Street” centers on a Hollywood couple’s interracial marriage, which becomes fraught when white husband Robbie (played by CITY’s editor David Andreatta) is nominated for a Golden Globe for his movie role as a racist cop who shoots an unarmed black youth. The premise itself makes sense: to be nominated for the award, Robbie must have given [ CONTINUING ] a convincing performance, and that cannot have been an ART EXHIBITS easy sight for his pregnant African American wife, Nia (Esther 1570 Gallery at Valley Manor, Winter). As Robbie’s star rises, Nia also struggles with her own 1570 East Ave. Pat Wilder: Elements. Through Dec. 8, 10 career taking the back burner.

ART | ‘DE’VIA: THE MANIFESTO COMES OF AGE’
In 1989 a group of deaf artists and a deaf art historian gathered at Gallaudet University, led by artists Betty G. Miller and Paul Johnson, and issued a manifesto that established a new genre of art. Dubbed Deaf View/Image Art (De’VIA), the founding of the genre was meant to spotlight the growing contemporary Deaf arts movement, which specifically explores Deaf culture and the Deaf experience, such as visual metaphors that are specific to Deaf culture and insight. This week the Memorial Art Gallery opens “De’VIA: The Manifesto Comes of Age,” which celebrates the 30th anniversary of the genre’s founding. The exhibition’s items, which explore the genre’s precursors and history, are principally drawn from the permanent art collection of RIT’s Dyer Arts Center at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf. Tours of the exhibition on select Thursdays and Fridays will be accessible to both deaf and hearing audiences. “De’Via: The Manifesto Comes of Age” opens Thursday, November 7, and continues through Sunday, February 16, 2020, at Memorial Art Gallery, 500 University Avenue. Wednesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Thursday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. $6-$15. 276-8900; mag.rochester.edu. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

THEATER | ‘PEOPLE OF THE THIRD EYE’
Half a century ago RIT’s National Theatre of the Deaf (NTID) unveiled its now-classic work, “My Third Eye,” a collection of ensemble pieces that spotlighted the unique expressions of Deaf experiences and techniques of sign language play. This week, NTID will present a new work inspired by the first. “People of the Third Eye” is an assortment of ASL performance art and poetry that includes personal narratives, creative storytelling, and dramatic monologues, layered with film clips, live painting by guest artist Nancy Rourke (who has work in the Memorial Art Gallery’s “De’VIA” exhibit), and dance numbers. “People of the Third Eye” will be performed on Fridays, November 8 and 15, at 7:30 p.m.; and on Saturday, November 16, and Sunday, November 17, at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Robert F. Panara Theatre, Lyndon Baines Johnson Hall, on the RIT campus. The performances 7:30 p.m. performances on November 8 and 16 and the 2 p.m. performance on November 17 will feature ASL with English voice interpretation; ASL-only performances are at 7:30 p.m. on November 15 and 16. Tickets are $12 for the general public; $10 for RIT faculty, staff, and alumni; and $5 for students, youth, and seniors. 475-4121 (voice); rittickets.com. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

SPECIAL EVENT | CANANDAIGUA TREATY COMMEMORATION
RECREATION | FULL MOON HIKE & BREWERY EXPERIENCE
Dance Events
This year marks the 225th anniversary of the Canandaigua Treaty, which was signed on November 11, 1794 by the Hodinöhsö:ni’ (Six Nations Confederacy) and the infant federal government of the United States. Following the Revolutionary War, the treaty established peace between the nations and between the confederacy and the US, and recognized the sovereignty and territorial rights of the confederacy. But in numerous selfish and dishonest acts over the years, the United States has violated and continues to violate treaties both locally and nationwide. The annual commemoration of the treaty at the site of its signing is held as both a celebration of Indigenous cultural resiliency and sovereignty, as well as a reminder of the peace that the Hodinöhsö:ni’ wanted, and still uphold.
As autumn rapidly shifts into winter, we’ve got a few final chances to take in the gloriously colorful leaves and fill our lungs with crisp, fragrant air before it gets too chilly to enjoy many evenings outside. Bearing this in mind, local outdoors-loving squad A-List Adventures is hosting an event this week that pairs a moonrise trek along the Genesee River gorge with fall-flavored beers.

At 1:30 p.m., Hodinöhsö:ni’ chiefs will lead a march from the primary school, followed by representatives from their nations and the United States, and the general public, to the Ontario County Courthouse lawn, where Ganondagan State Historic Site Manager Peter Jemison (Seneca) will open the ceremony with the traditional Thanksgiving Address at 2 p.m. And back at the primary school auditorium at 5:30 p.m., Jemison will present this year’s keynote speech, shedding light on the significance of the Canandaigua Treaty.

A still from Brazilian dystopian thriller “Bacurau,” which screens on Saturday, November 9, as part of the inaugural Anomaly film festival. PHOTO COURTESY KINO LORBER
Collective catharsis Anomaly: The Rochester Genre Film Festival FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, THROUGH SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 10 THE CINEMA THEATER, 957 SOUTH CLINTON STREET $10 FOR EACH FILM; $70 FESTIVAL PASS ANOMALYFILMFEST.COM [ PREVIEW ] BY RACHEL CRAWFORD
Nerd alert! This is the inaugural year of Rochester’s first genre film festival, Anomaly. Anomaly is the brainchild of local festival organizers, filmmakers, designers, artists, and writers: Matt DeTurck, Adam Lubitow (CITY’s film critic), Meghan Murphy, Matt Knotts, Erin Murphy, Kristin Pelc-Pacheco,
Vanessa J. Cheeks, Eric Maira, and John “Magnus” Champlin. The group says they just generally love the strange, maniacal, and what may very well be the next cult classic. The organizers specify that this year, they’re showcasing independent films from the genres of horror, science fiction, fantasy, action, dark comedy, and some titles that blend more than one genre (namely supernatural thrillers and, yes, supernatural rom-coms). The lineup, of 10 fesature films and a program of 20 shorts from around the world, includes films that have screened this year at some of the most prestigious festivals in the world: Sundance, Cannes, South by Southwest, Venice, Toronto, Fantastic Fest, and others. When CITY met with the organizers to get the scoop on the lineup, we also we discussed the importance of a collective experience — of watching a movie in the
theater rather than streaming privately like we often do today — and what that means in the digital age, when everyone has access to their own personal, portable screens. Perhaps horror films in particular are the best example of how shared (though naturally voyeuristic) emotions such as fear and aversion are communally cathartic, like how seeing a Stanley Kubrick film in theaters is a wildly different experience than watching it at home. But whatever vulnerability we feel in the theater, it’s felt as a group — unlike in our shuttered, private spaces — and genre films embrace the concept of collective excitement. Though it’s the festival’s first year, the creators organized after-parties at local nightlife spots, as well as guest appearances. A brief peek at a few of this year’s selections follows. Director Adam Egypt Mortimer brings us face to face with the traumas that come with mental illness in “Daniel Isn’t Real.” The film
experiments with literal interpretations of what are often metaphors for depression, mania, and delirium — inner demons manifest, personal prisons materialize, and a protagonist jumps into the actual abyss. After nearly killing his own mother, main character Luke (Miles Robbins) locks up his childhood imaginary friend Daniel (Patrick Schwarzenegger). Several years later, in college, Daniel is freed. The direction in this psychological thriller is reminiscent of “Drop Dead Fred” and “Fight Club.” A modern critique of the film could pose questions about the violent, white, threedimensional, male protagonist whose violence is impelled by mental illness. (Friday, November 8, 6:30 p.m.) A small village in Brazil is erased from the map, denied access to clean water, and loses cell phone service, inexplicably. UFOs appear and bikers spy on civilians. The Brazilian film “Bacurau” is not easily categorized, and it’s likely to be most appreciated by Black Mirror and Twilight Zone enthusiasts, as it integrates dystopian, futuristic, thriller, and science fiction themes. Directed by Kleber Mendonça Filho and Juliano Dornelles, the film was notably the winner of the Jury Prize at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. (Saturday, November 9, 1 p.m.) Bring your goofiest, Monty-Pythonquoting friend out on Saturday night to see the hilariously haunted “Extra Ordinary,” an Irish film directed by Mike Ahern and Enda Loughman. The story centers on gifted medium Rose (Maeve Higgins) as she uses her talents to help the desperate Martin (Barry Ward) who is being haunted by his recently departed wife. The script serves jokes so fast you might miss them if you’re not paying attention — and everything is on the table, including sexual innuendos, jokes about infanticide, and “ex-wifercisms.” Considered a paranormal rom-com, nearly every line is quotable. (Saturday, November 9, 6:30 p.m.) An extended version of this review is online at rochestercitynewspaper.com. Rachel Crawford is a freelance writer for CITY.

FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services. We are attempting to collect a debt. Any information obtained will be used for that purpose. The foregoing summons is served upon you by publication pursuant to an order of the Honorable J. Scott Odorisi, J.S.C. dated September 24, 2019.
