Who’s behind the opposition to Whole Foods?

While I enjoyed the drawing of Brighton Town Supervisor Bill Moehle in the paid advertisement on the back cover of CITY, I must take issue with its message.

The public doesn’t know who is behind the big money being spent on ads like this one to fight the proposed Whole Foods development project on Monroe Avenue. Unfortunately, this lack of transparency

has made it difficult to challenge the flood of misinformation that has spread about the project.

The planned development project is bigger than zoned, but not by that much. The store will be a fraction of the size of Wegman’s just down the road. If it increases traffic, it’s because citizens want to shop there and it’s successful as a retail outlet.

In return, the developer has promised to build several different traffic-calming devices to make traffic flow easier through the corridor than it currently does.

He also plans to improve the bicycle pedestrian path that parallels Monroe Avenue behind the retail outlets. That could effectively decrease the number of vehicles on the road, as people like me choose to cycle to the grocery store instead of drive.

All of this is called incentive zoning and is the way communities like

ours get improvements made. We’re getting new sidewalks along South Clinton and Elmwood Avenue the same way this summer. There’s nothing wrong or illegal or mysterious about this type of “deal.” It’s all out in the open.

What’s hidden is who doesn’t want Whole Foods and what are their real reasons?

Douglass and his education

On our essays on Frederick Douglass and education:

Douglass worked diligently to expand his vocabulary to the point that many teens of Rochester are unable to read his autobiography simply because the words he used are too big. All the more reason to study hard in order to someday read it, because Frederick Douglass is truly the North Star.

Crediting the artist

For our February 13 cover photograph of the face of a Frederick Douglass statue, we failed to note the statue’s sculptor. The photo is of one of the 13 reproductions, created by Rochester artist Olivia Kim, of the statue of Douglass in Highland Park.

Kim’s reproductions have been placed at sites in the city that are relevant to Douglass’s life in Rochester.

The statue photographed for our February 13 cover is on Corinthian Street near the site where Douglass gave his “What to a Slave Is the Fourth of July?” speech.

Standing together against hatred

BY AYALA EMMETT, YONATHAN SHAPIR, AND STEPHEN TEITEL

It is with great distress that we read of the recent arrests of individuals from the Town of Greece accused of making bombs and possessing weapons, with the intention of carrying out an attack on the Muslim community of Islamberg in Delaware County.

According to news reports, members of the group planned the attack using social media channels popular with white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups.

One of the accused posted antigovernment, pro-Confederate, anti-immigrant, and anti-guncontrol rants on his Twitter account, according to local media.

As members of the Rochester chapter of J Street, a pro-Israel, pro-peace organization that supports a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, we are deeply disturbed by the increase in white supremacist activity in the United States and the attendant rise of antiSemitism, Islamophobia, and racist attacks on people of color. Those who inflame fear of immigrants, whether from Muslim countries or Latin America, would like us to forget the fact that the majority of us, of all generations, are immigrants who came to this country seeking the very same things: greater personal security, greater economic prosperity, and the freedom to practice the faith of our choice.

The United States has benefited immeasurably from the rich diversity of its citizens.

The real threat to our society is not from those who may be different from us, but from those who view the country as the privileged home only for those of a particular race or religion.

A recent report by the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism found that white supremacists and

other far-right extremists have been responsible for 71 percent of domestic extremistrelated killings during the years 2008-2017. We are saddened and repulsed that such violence seems only to have been emboldened by the actions of the current administration in Washington and a president who declared there were “good people on both sides” when responding to the white supremacist, racist, and anti-Semitic, rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, one and a half years ago. The rally resulted in the murder of social activist Heather Heyer by a neo-Nazi sympathizer.

We are particularly dismayed that such a violent anti-Islamic plot found fertile ground in our own local community, in which we strive to promote inclusion, interfaith cooperation, and harmony. We recall, with a sense of gratitude, the comfort we felt in the outpouring of support for our Jewish community from the local Muslim and other faith communities following the horrific attack on the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh. We were moved by the thousands of concerned Rochesterians of all faiths who attended a community vigil in response to this attack, held at Temple B’rith Kodesh, and the more than 50 clergy leaders who were there to lend their support.

As Jews who experienced xenophobia and anti-Semitism throughout our history in the Diaspora, who suffered discrimination and persecution and genocide, we cannot be silent. When acts of hatred flourish, we are all in danger.

We therefore condemn all acts of hatred and express solidarity with our local Muslim communities. When we stand together, we are all stronger.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Our national emergency OK, it’s predictable for a liberal columnist to say it, but it’s simply a fact: It’s a national emergency that the country is run by a president as unstable as the one we have. And it’s a national emergency that Republicans in Congress, who surely must be as worried about the president’s ability as the rest of us are, won’t stand up to him.

Nobody’s shocked that President Trump declared that immigration at our southern border is a national emergency.

But it certainly is stunning that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who opposed the emergency declaration, was so afraid that Trump would shut down the government again that he fell in line.

So Trump will apparently build a wall to keep his base happy and get a few Fox commentators off his back. And the next time he wants to do something Congress doesn’t want him to do, he’ll declare another national emergency.

And every president who follows in his footsteps will be tempted to do the same.

No, Trump isn’t the first president to declare a national emergency to do something Congress didn’t like. And yes, Barack Obama did it. So did Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton and both Bushes. Each president presumably had what he thought was a justifiable reason for going around Congress. And as Congress and the rest of us have let that happen, we have chipped away at the separation of powers.

Now we have a president who has gone one step further: declaring a national emergency to get money for something that Congress had specifically voted not to give him.

It’s satisfying, for a minute or two, to imagine the next Democratic president national-emergencying us into gun control and climate protection.

Somebody ought to be thinking about protecting the Constitution, though.

New York’s Amazon loss

Maybe the governor and the corporate leaders are right, and the Amazon protesters just didn’t understand what was good for them. Still, for those of us who believe in citizen participation, corporate responsibility, affordable housing, and that kind of thing, it wasn’t a huge disappointment that Amazon was

We’ve let a succession of presidents do this.

And in the process, we’ve been chipping away at the Constitution. taking its logo and walking away from New York City.

I wasn’t completely opposed to New York getting HQ2. Everybody in New York State would have benefitted from the state taxes that Amazon and its workers would have paid. And the fact is, New York State is in competition with other states for businesses like Amazon, so no, it’s not good to be known as an anti-business state.

But there are plenty of indications that New York could have gotten Amazon without the big taxpayer give-away.

The company wanted New York’s tech workers. That’s why it picked New York.

Virginia and Nashville – didn’t promise Amazon nearly as much as New York did.

Big corporations can create problems as they create jobs. Critics aren’t exaggerating when they say tech giants have driven up housing prices, led to traffic congestion, and have caused other problems that cities have to deal with.

Corporations can work with residents to address those problems. But when Seattle tried to raise taxes to deal with its growing homelessness problem, Amazon bullied the city into submission.

Governments across the country are complicit in this bidding-forbusiness scam, from our local industrial development agencies right on up. It’s way past time to stop it, of course. But that would take a national effort. And that would require far more courage, bipartisanship, and civic commitment than exists in this country right now.

[ NEWS IN BRIEF ]

Coalition focuses on gun violence

The ROC Against Gun Violence Coalition, a broadbased organization that includes citizens’ groups as well as law enforcement agencies, has unveiled a plan it hopes will help reduce the city’s gun violence.

The plan includes adding funding to the Rochester Police Department budget, developing a gun amnesty program, enforcing gun laws more strictly, pushing for legislation for the safe storage of legal weapons, and increasing staffing for mediation programs.

Rochester City Council member Willie Lightfoot, who chairs the coalition, said the funding increase for the police department will likely be included in the next city budget proposal.

Increasing the number of police officers, he said, could let more police respond to shootings.

In addition, Lightfoot said, “We’re looking at some stuff that they’ve done in Brooklyn with a mobile trauma unit” that helps people deal with the effects of trauma when shootings happen.

The coalition is holding a public meeting to discuss its efforts at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, February 20, in Council Chambers at City Hall.

Plans for the new Aldi call for a modern-looking mix of masonry and metal with an angular roofline.

RENDERING PROVIDED BY CITY OF ROCHESTER

DEVELOPMENT | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

North Winton may finally get Aldi After a scrapped attempt several years ago to build an Aldi in North Winton Village, indications now look good for a new store coming to the area, says Mary Coffey, a long-time neighborhood leader. Aldi will occupy half of the former Tops market, a 44,000 square-foot building located at the corner of North Winton and Blossom Roads. That Tops was one of five in the Rochester area that closed last year.

The city Zoning Board is holding a public hearing at 11:30 a.m. Thursday, February 21, at City Hall, and the board is

expected to vote on the plan at that meeting. Aldi needs variances for signage that’s slightly larger than is allowed.

Reception to the discount grocery chain has been completely different than it was their first time Aldi attempted to move into the North Winton neighborhood.

It was initially interested in the site of the old Jim’s Restaurant on North Winton. Jim’s was demolished in anticipation of a new building for Aldi, but the parcel was small, and Aldi would have needed numerous variances.

Residents were fiercely divided on

the plan. Some were angry that a chain store would be replacing Jim’s, a long-time neighborhood breakfast and lunch haunt.

And many residents weren’t convinced that another grocery store was needed, since Tops, Wegmans, and Price Rite were already in the vicinity. But the former Jim’s restaurant site remains vacant, and nobody wants to see the Tops plaza sitting vacant, too, Coffey says.

There’s been interest in the other half of the Tops building, says Flaum, but the company is still looking for a tenant.

Democrats, who control elected offices in the city, have their sights set on the county executive’s office and County Legislature control.

But they face a primary in their own party for City Court – and maybe for City Council and school board seats.

POLITICS | BY JEREMY MOULE

Republicans will face full slate of Dem challengers Democrats are going to take a shot at winning control of Monroe County government in this year’s elections, and they plan to go after Republicans up and down the ballot.

County Clerk Adam Bello received the Democrats’ designation to run for county executive, while Republicans and the county Conservative Party are supporting incumbent County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo. The parties’ designations solidified a match-up that many in local politics and media have expected for a while.

But perhaps just as significant: the Democrats are putting forward a nearly full slate of County Legislature candidates. All 29 seats in the chamber are up for election this year, and Democrats are hoping to win the majority. They currently hold only 12 seats, so they have to gain some serious ground.

Already at least one Democratic primary is shaping up, though. In the 23rd District, which covers parts of southeast Rochester and a sliver of Brighton, the committees designated Linda Hasman as the candidate, but Scotty Ginett says on his website that he plans to challenge her in a primary.

District Attorney Sandra Doorley, a Republican who first won the seat eight years ago when she ran as the Democratic candidate, will face a challenge from Democrat Shani Curry Mitchell, a

prosecutor with 13 years’ experience. A Rochester native, Curry Mitchell started her career working in Atlanta at the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office, and spent the last five years working as an assistant district attorney in the Monroe County District Attorney’s Office. She left the DA’s office a few months ago and is now working in the City of Rochester’s law department.

As the party seeks to make gains in county government, it’ll also have several city primary elections to work through.

Judith Davis was the only incumbent school board member to win the city committees’ designation to run for a school board seat; there are four seats up for election this year. She was also the only school board candidate to get the designation after the first round of balloting during last week’s Monroe County Democratic Committee convention.

After the second round, Howard Eagle, Anthony Hall, and Amy Maloy secured the designation. If incumbents Willa Powell and Beatriz LeBron want to stay on the board, they have to collect petitions and run primaries. The same is true of the several other candidates who sought the school board designation.

The City Council designations had already been settled prior to the convention.

Mind • Body • Spirit

The designated candidates are Mary Lupien, East District; Michael Patterson, the incumbent Northeast District member; LaShana Boose, Northwest District; and Adam McFadden, the incumbent South District member.

REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS | BY JEREMY MOULE

Abortion conflict flares up in Batavia America’s culture wars never end. The country is in divisive, prolonged fights over gun laws, drug policy, immigration, school prayer, and the government’s role in practically everything.

But one of the fiercest conflicts has been over a woman’s right to safe, legal abortion. And right now, it’s flaring up in the City of Batavia, where officials are deliberating a resident’s request that they send a letter to Governor Andrew Cuomo opposing new state laws around abortion.

State lawmakers passed the Reproductive Health Act on January 22. The bill modernized New York’s abortion laws and brought them in line with protections spelled out in the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. And it incensed abortion opponents across the state and country, including Batavia resident Chris Connelly.

He appeared at a Batavia City Council meeting a week after the Reproductive Health Act became law and asked the Council members to “shut down Planned Parenthood” and “make Batavia a sanctuary city for the unborn,” according to a January 29 Batavia Daily News article. (Connelly didn’t respond to an e-mail from CITY seeking comment.)

His remarks found support from at least one Council member, Rose Mary Christian, and sparked debate among all of them. But ultimately, at the suggestion of Council President Eugene Jankowski, the members opted to have the city manager put together a draft letter of opposition to the governor, which they could then discuss at their next meeting of February 11. Municipal governments frequently send letters to state officials on matters of concern, typically policy and funding issues that directly impact government operations.

“I thought that process would also give us time to get public feedback,” Jankowski said during an interview last week.

The public responded. Council members received a slew of e-mails, many of which urged Council to stay out of the issue, Jankowski said. And at last Monday’s Council meeting, approximately 150 people packed the chambers, 18 of whom spoke not just about the letter, but about their feelings on abortion as a whole.

Quite a few of the speakers came from outside of Batavia, as a video posted on The Batavian (thebatavian.com) shows. A pastor from Syracuse urged Council to make Batavia a “sanctuary city for the unborn,” and a woman from Mt. Morris stressed that reproductive rights are “decided law.”

One segment shows Dan Devlin of Buffalo, president of the New York State chapter of Oath Keepers, a farright group, speaking.

“You are at a pivotal point in American history because you here in Batavia, New vCuomo and state that you cannot possibly go along with not only this new legislation, but you cannot go along with the procedure known as abortion,” Devlin said.

Another segment showed remarks from Nikki Calhoun of LeRoy, a reproductive rights supporter.

“We have shown time and again that we are not someone’s property, we are not fragile, we are not stupid, we are not weak,” Calhoun said. “Members of this Council, I implore you to mind the business of the city and not our bodies.”

FEBRUARY 20 - 26, 2019

Ultimately, the board couldn’t come to agreement about the letter. Jankowski isn’t sold on the idea of sending the letter – nor are some other members of Council – because he’s not hearing a consensus from constituents that they want the board to do it. But he left members the option of a drafting a letter and submitting it for discussion at the February 25 conference meeting – a discussion-centered meeting where the members work out what they’ll vote on at the next business meeting – and Christian has already written one.

Batavia probably won’t be the last New York government

asked to take some official position against – or even for – the Reproductive Health Act. The act and its predecessors languished in Albany for over a decade as the Democratic-controlled state Assembly passed it over and over again and the Republican-controlled Senate kept it from even coming to a vote. And every year it met intense opposition from anti-abortion groups and some religious groups, including Catholic leaders.

The law passed this year because Democrats took control of the state Senate in the 2018 elections and Senate leaders prioritized the bill, as did Assembly leaders and Cuomo.

They had deep concerns about the Trump administration and the conservative majority on the Supreme Court eroding abortion rights. Cuomo signed the act immediately after the legislature passed it.

But the opposition has persisted.

“Once it was passed, it was just ‘Whoa’: everybody came out of the woodwork,” says Debora McDell-Hernandez, Planned

Parenthood of Central and Western New York’s senior director of public and community affairs.

Batavia provided a second, coincidental example of that visible opposition on February 11, when anti-abortion activist Randall Terry stopped in the city as part of a multi-day tour of Upstate New York. He performed an inflammatory skit protesting the Reproductive Health Act, which he also did later in the day in Rochester.

But with the Reproductive Health Act now in state law, abortion rights are fairly secure in the state, McDellHernandez says. Planned Parenthood of Central and Western New York isn’t worried about the Batavia health center getting shut down, because the local government doesn’t have authority to do so, she says. The organization is more concerned with the safety of its employees and making sure that staff who work in the community are educated about what the new state law does and doesn’t do, she says.

As for the ongoing debate in Batavia, McDell-Hernandez says it illustrates the problem with a local government taking a stand on a broad, controversial state or federal issue.

“It forces people to reexamine their role in the community,” says McDell-Hernandez.

And that’s what appears to be happening with at least some Batavia City Council members. Jankowski argues that if the Council picks one side, then the other – which the members still represent – feels alienated.

“It’s probably not fair that we go down that road of sending letters as a community when it’s not so positive that the whole community agrees with that letter,” Jankowski says.

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

Forum planned on police accountability

City Council will hold its last public forum concerning its legislation to establish a Police Accountability Board on Thursday, February 21.

If it passes, the legislation would mean a major change in police oversight.

Right now, the Police Department’s Professional Standards Section investigates civilian complaints about misconduct by a police officer, and the police chief decides on punishment. City Council’s legislation calls for a nine-person board that would have investigative authority about complaints involving officers, and the board would determine punishment.

8 CITY

FEBRUARY 20 - 26, 2019

The forum will be held in the City Hall atrium, 30 Church Street, from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

Rethinking community housing

The Community Design Center of Rochester will present “Strategies for Health and Equity in Housing,” a lecture by Nikolaus Philipsen, on Wednesday, February 27.

The president of ArchPlan, an architecture and design firm based in Baltimore, Philipsen has spent much of his career working on community housing, and he currently serves on Maryland’s Social Determinants of Health Task Force. The CDC event will be held at Gleason Works, 1000 University Avenue, at 7 p.m.

Registration: 271-0520.

Students protest segregation

“‘63 Boycott” on Wednesday, February 27, a film examining one of the largest civil rights demonstrations of its time.

On October 22, 1963, more than 250,000 students boycotted the Chicago Public Schools system in a protest against racial segregation. The students called on Superintendent Benjamin Willis to resign after he had trailers installed on school playgrounds and parking lots to house students in overcrowded black schools instead of allowing the students to enroll in nearby white schools.

The film’s showing is part of the Little’s Black Cinema Series. It’ll be screened at 6:30 p.m., free of charge, and will be followed by a discussion. The Little is located at 240 East Avenue.

You have a choice of one of seven sauces (plain or hearty tomato, pesto, olive oil and garlic, BBQ, Buffalo, and sweet Buffalo) and seven different cheeses, including a vegan Daiya cheese. After that, there are many standard and non-standard vegetable and meat toppings.

Something for everyone Create A Pizza 766 MONROE AVENUE MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY, 11 A.M. TO 9 P.M.; FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, 11 A.M. TO 11 P.M.; SUNDAY, 1 TO 8 P.M. 730-5141; FACEBOOK.COM/CREATEAPIZZA [ REVIEW ] BY CHRIS THOMPSON

The fast-casual food trend in the area is not new. Chiptole and Moe’s use the approach with Tex-Mex, which paved the way for Core Life Eatery and Naan-tastic. It’s not a surprise that fast casual pizza followed in the trend. And if we are being honest, ALL American pizza is do-it-yourself. We order what we want pizzerias to put on our pizzas all the time. It did not start with the first person to put a pineapple on a pizza and then be subsequently run out of town by a horde of torch-and-pitchfork wielding “pizza traditionalists.” So what makes Create A Pizza on Monroe Ave stand out from other pizza joints? Besides being the only fast-casual pizza

restaurant within Rochester city limits, Create A Pizza’s head chefgeneral manager Katelyn Dunne created all of the recipes.

Dunne proudly makes every batch of dough, as well as the sauce, appetizers, and desserts the restaurant offers. The nonDIY pizzas on the menu are her own recipes as well. All of the food is brought in fresh daily and prepared in the kitchen. Besides a mixer, no machines touch the dough; it’s all hand stretched.

The chicken comes fresh, and Dunne seasons and cooks it in-house. The meatballs are prepared and cooked in the oven. With the exception of the glutenfree cauliflower crust, nothing comes into Create A Pizza in a vat or box, and that is only because Chef Dunne has not yet perfected a gluten-free recipe on her own that is to her satisfaction.

Though Mark Teng is the official owner, Chef Dunne has full control of the menu and operations. This is her baby, so her attention

to detail comes as no surprise. She has been cooking since she was a child and has accrued years of professional culinary experience, including working at another fast-casual eatery. You can tell how much care she puts into the food and the service by the taste of it.

I ordered two pies when I visited: the gluten-free 10-inch ($11.99) and the personal “slice” ($7.99). The personal is not really a slice, it’s the size of a 10-inch pie, but it’s stretched and laid out to resemble a giant, face-

toppings I chose for each pizza. Many people get passionate about what does and does not belong on pizzas, and I don’t want to be judged too harshly for all the seasoned zucchini I put on my slice. I will say that both pizzas were delectable. The hearty tomato sauce is thick but not too chunky and has a bold, savory flavor. Some other pizza shops put sugar in their sauce to bring out flavor, but I prefer not to have a candy tomato pie. The cauliflower crust is also quite tasty. It is a thin crust that gets crispy but is still soft on the inside. Still, I look forward to the gluten-free recipe that Chef Dunne will create on her own, because her dough for the general personal slices and 12-inch was mouthwatering.

Create A Pizza accommodates for many dietary restrictions as well. There is a separate set of the ingredients designated for gluten-free and vegan customers to avoid cross-contamination. It is also possible to have a completely dairy-free pizza if you like. The shop offers vegan sausage, and even the garlic knots and cinnamon twists are vegan. No one is left out.

The convenience of the location and the freshness of ingredients at Create A Pizza are enough reasons to frequent the restaurant. Besides that, people who love pizza rarely agree on what to put on a pizza, so there is nothing like a personalized pie all to yourself. That way, everyone is satisfied, and there’s no need to get out the pitchforks. rochestercitynewspaper.com

YARMS A PROFILE IN MUSICAL CURIOSITY [ MUSIC ] BY DANIEL J. KUSHNER

If you’ve frequented the folk and singer-songwriter circuits in Rochester in the last 10 years, you’ve probably heard Ryan Yarmel play. Known also simply as “Yarms,” he’s been a fixture in the local music scene. In the past, he’s held down the bottom line on the upright bass in Americana-roots groups The Younger Gang and Aaron Lipp & The Slacktones. And he performs original songs from his album “Polka Dot Swing” as a solo artist and as frontman for the country-western outfit Yarmsband, in addition to numerous other music projects.

continued Every Wednesday this month at Abilene Bar and Lounge, Yarmel is hosting a series of concerts called the “Yarms February Frolic.”

The four gigs highlight his sonic ubiquity as a member of diverse Rochester bands, including folk outfit The Sugargliders, blues duo Hotel Cadillac, electroacoustic acts Funscape and Sparx & Yarms, and the rock band Great Red. The February 6 lineup featured rising acts Madeleine McQueen and The Sugargliders alongside Hotel Cadillac, and February 13 showcased the rock stylings of Anamon and a retooled Great Red lineup with Yarmel on bass. The next concert, on Wednesday, February 20, is perhaps the most left-of-center, with electro-tinged music from Sparx & Yarms in a rare live appearance, along with sets from Funscape and the mysterious outsider Beef Gordon.

The residency closes on February 27 with a high-energy show from Yarmel’s Americana-country group Yarmsband and the psychedelic surf rockers Televisionaries.

Yarmel’s February series comes at a time when music residencies in Rochester frequently feature tribute shows that pay homage to an influential music legend or commemorate a specific, game-changing album. In contrast, all of the musicians featured during Yarmel’s tenure at Abilene are performing original material, with the possibility of a cover song sprinkled in. Through a music residency, concertgoers can seek out a curated listening experience from someone whose taste and musical abilities they trust. Yarmel’s programming choices seem to reflect a desire to introduce listeners to new sounds.

“Every single band that is playing in this residency is a folk band at its heart,” Ryan Yarmel says PHOTO BY RYAN WILLIAMSON

12 CITY FEBRUARY 20 - 26, 2019

“This is sort of a bookmark in what I’ve done musically up to this point,” Yarmel says. “I have more to give.” The residency at Abilene enables the 26-yearold Fairport native to assert himself as both an active musician in the Rochester scene and a promoter of it. In addition to his seemingly innumerable musical endeavors, Yarmel serves as store manager at Bernunzio Uptown Music. Recently, he’s also served as a fill-in host for Scott Regan’s “Open Tunings” on WRUR 88.5 FM; he now hosts “Ryan Yarmel’s Show” on WAYO 104.3 FM. In addition to his formidable work as a songwriter, Yarmel is familiar with playing more of a supporting role in the creation of songs, as the bass player in both Great Red and The Sugargliders. Great Red’s frontman Zach Kochan – who also plays in The Sugargliders and Funscape – has witnessed Yarmel’s musical versatility firsthand.

“Music comes to Ryan so naturally,” Kochan says. “His ear is unbelievable. His feel is so good. He could be a virtuoso musician, but his taste is so incredible that he really knows how to serve a song. For instance, in Great Red, he’s sort of the bass player that I always wanted in that band.

His emphasis is so much more on feel than anything else that it breathes new life in the band for me.”

Yarmel’s willingness to do what is best for the song is evident in his flexible songwriting approach. “I don’t think there’s any criteria that I have when I write a song,” Yarmel says. “I mean, it just happens. I usually write most songs by myself on acoustic guitar. But oftentimes, songs – particularly more with the electronic-ambient bands – will come out of pre-writing that I’ll just do.”

In writing songs with Yarmel for their trap-inspired, electronic folk duo Sparx & Yarms, musician Cody Sparks was struck

by Yarmel’s openness to change. “He was really receptive to changing up what he already had,” Sparks says. “He would show it to me, and then he would be like, ‘I have this, but I’m willing to completely change it.’ And then we would take it and make a beat over it, and all of a sudden, his song that was really fast-tempoed and more like a traditional folk song was suddenly 60 BPM and really slow, with a weird hip-hop beat. He was just completely open to that idea.”

Yarmel gets very specific when he’s explaining his role as bass player in The Sugargliders. “Why I wanted to play with them is because I saw them live a lot,” Yarmel says, “and just was so impressed by what they were doing, and felt that I could

honor their sound and make it better: lay down the foundation to what they were doing, increase it and flesh out more. I just felt like what they were doing was so good and sacred that if I could be a part of it, it would bring me a lot of joy, but also help this band sound even more amazing.”

For Yarmel, it seems as though his goal in The Sugargliders is to coax a poignant, previously hidden aspect of the music to the fore. “With this band,” he says, “what I’m doing is what I’ve done in a lot of bands – exposing and really bringing to the front of the picture the hypnotic element in folk music.”

The aesthetic of hypnosis is present in his other projects as well, he says, citing the electronic instrumentation of Sparx & Yarms and the psychedelic country

inclinations of Yarmsband. Despite all of the stylistic differences, Yarmel maintains that folk music is at the core of his residency’s focus.

“Every single band that is playing in this residency is a folk band at its heart,” Yarmel says. Oddly, he even cites Beef Gordon, the post-punk-meets-lounge-singer, as a folk act.

Asked to define folk music, Yarmel’s response is broad and curious, but it makes sense: “I think it’s music that talks about folks and their stories – what they’re going through.”

Despite Yarmel’s liberal definition of folk music, his traditional roots as an Americanafolk singer-songwriter are more clearly evident in his solo project Yarms as well as in the Yarmsband. Here, the songs are acousticdriven and more often follow conventional storytelling narratives.

That said, it’s clear that Yarmel’s songwriting can’t be pinned to any one genre. When he creates songs, he says, he’s “writing them so that they could be timeless, so not having too many specific cultural references.” It’s likely that over the course of the residency, he says, he will play the same song three separate times, filtered through three of his different projects.

As you might expect, Yarmel’s influences are idiosyncratic. He has obvious heroes like folk rock legend Neil Young and the late country musician Hank Thompson, but he’s also a classically trained double bassist who was inspired to take up the instrument as a child after hearing the Beatles’ “Strawberry Fields Forever.”

He went on to play in the Rochester Philharmonic Youth Orchestra and developed a love for the epic, lateRomantic symphonies of composers like Gustav Mahler, Jean Sibelius, and Anton Bruckner. Zach Kochan remembers connecting with Yarmel over Brit-pop artists like Oasis, Blur, and Gorillaz.

Ryan Yarmel is a musician rooted in the earnest storytelling of folk, but there’s a stylistic restlessness that disregards genre labels in favor of honest artistic expression. The result is a head-in-the-clouds approach to songwriting: Yarmel hasn’t forgotten his musical origins, but he isn’t confined by them, either.

Deborah Fox, a “fandango” is not just a Spanish dance, it’s also a party. That’s her hope in presenting this week’s Pegasus concert of the same name, a miscellany of song and dance from Baroque-era Spain and from its New World colonies, including Colombia, Peru, Guatemala, and Mexico. The colorful sounds of guitars and harp, as well as the rhythms of the dance, are evident. Some of those authentic dances will be demonstrated by historical dancer Peggy Murray, who will also offer concertgoers a quick pre-concert fandango lesson.

Rochester’s Anne Liebel plays drums in the group, alongside guitarists Nicole Damoff and Shermy Freeman and bassist Sarah Butler. Each musician demonstrates tenacious technical skills as they weave between each other’s notes. The Surfrajettes keep the party going with a tasteful mix of surf rock covers and original, psychedelic-post-punk jams.

— BY KATIE HALLIGAN

The Saplings’ beautifully odd album “Go Digital!” is definitely a mellow, clever, and cool collection that punches like a clown on the nod.

The band exhibits a ton of varied personalities: electronic moods cleverly stirred into pop hooks, from Devo to emo.

All 13 cuts are accessible without trying too hard, and they go well with anything the listener brings. The horn arrangements are exquisite, as are the other instruments as they shift within their own subtlety. The Saplings have their feet firmly planted while “Go Digital!” takes flight. Rather magical, I believe. You will, too.

Playing with Orquesta Antonetti and Cammy Enaharo & Dessert, The Saplings will have a record release show on Saturday, February 23, 9 p.m. at Anthology, 336 East Avenue. $12-$15. 484-1964. anthologylive.com.

Jan the Actress ‘Dirty Anxious Low’ Self-released jantheactress.bandcamp.com

Most bands build up the energy over the space of a few cuts. But not Jan the Actress, no. The band’s latest CD, “Dirty Anxious Low,” delivers that slash, crash and burn immediately. It’s there the minute you switch it on, and it doesn’t stop for nine glorious cuts. There’s clever vocal interplay between singers Karrah Teague and Eric Witkowski, who plays his guitar in a kind of unrelenting stranglehold.

The music is thunderous and raw; it burns like a six-string rash. The band weaves in and out of garage and punk rock, both in attitude and application. It reminds me of The Bellrays and their merciless wail, and I can’t get enough. “Dirty Anxious Low,” I love you. “S.W.A.K.” — BY FRANK DE BLASE

The Goddamn Gallows blend an old-time, American roots sound with punk energy. The band plays the Bug Jar on March 12. PHOTO PROVIDED

Hangmen The Goddamn Gallows WITH SCOTT H. BIRAM AND URBAN PIONEERS TUESDAY, MARCH 12 BUG JAR, 219 MONROE AVENUE 9 P.M. | $18-$22 | AGES 18 AND OVER BUGJAR.COM; THEGODDAMNGALLOWS.COM [ INTERVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE

Of all the bands currently out there liberally slathering the suffix “billy” all over their diagnosis – as in psychobilly, punkabilly, swingabilly, et al. – The Goddamn Gallows makes the most sense. Spawned from the American Rust Belt and now spread out around the Midwest, The Goddamn Gallows looks like a band that would bring a knife to a gunfight and win.

The band is a raucous blend of old-time music and punk energy, wrapped in a hobo aesthetic. The Goddamn Gallows have done it in dives and festivals all over the globe, and about six times in the studio. Their latest is 2018’s “The Trial,” which finds the band going into heavier, uncharted seas.

The Goddamn Gallows’ bassist, Fishgutzzz, was at the other end of the line when we gave 16 CITY FEBRUARY 20 - 26, 2019

the band a jingle. We had questions. He had answers. An edited transcript follows.

CITY: Please talk a little about The Goddamn Gallows: the early years.

Fishgutzzz: Me and Mikey the guitar player

started it out in Portland with a different drummer, Amanda Kill, in 2004. She didn’t have a kick drum. It was a real stripped-down sound: kinda psychobilly, rockabilly, swingy.

Then we moved down to L.A. and met our current drummer, Baby Genius. That’s when we started really playing and recording.

What kind of band did you want to be?

We didn’t seek out to do any specific kind of band, just punk rock, psychobilly kind of stuff. Our base sound is punk rock. It’s what we mostly grew up on. Everything we listen to gets into our music without getting too messy.

Being on the road so much, how do you write?

Terribly. Back in the day we used to write more together. But now everyone lives in a different city. Now we’ll write songs or a portion of a song and when we get together before tour or recording, just hash it out.

enjoy being in the studio, sitting down, being able to spend time adding parts and instruments that we can’t do onstage. Typically we’ll get together, write a record, and record it in three days.

How many vans has the band gone through?

We’ve gone through 14 in the United States alone. It got to be too much so we started renting. We’re still paying off vans we haven’t seen in years.

What kind of antics do you get up to onstage?

We used to blow fire, but we stopped doing that for a while. Then a couple of years ago at the Muddy Roots Festival, we caused a bit of a ruckus where a shotgun may or may not have gone off onstage and a table may or may not of been lit on fire. The stage and our washboard player caught on fire. Everybody was fine.

What’s next on the agenda?

This tour with Scott H. Biram, and then Europe.

Do you prefer the stage or the studio?

What’ll they say about you guys once you’re gone?

I used to prefer the stage. But now I really

Thank God they’re gone.

GARAGE ROCK | BUFFALO SEX CHANGE

CLASSICAL | LILYA ZILBERSTEIN

One of Rochester’s favorite party bands, Buffalo Sex Change brings down the house with only two people behind the wheel of the sexually-charged, grunge-pop thrill ride: guitarist Phil Pierce and drummer Clayton Eddy. The duo has celebrated three releases since its debut in 2014, including its most recent album, 2018’s “Searching Hands.” Covered with lo-fi reverb, Pierce’s punchy tenor voice often switches to a darker, nasal speak-sing, like that of Mick Jagger. Eddy plays drums standing up, smashing wildly along to pulsating, hipster rock beats. Buffalo Sex Change is a rambunctious garage-pop duo with post-punk attitude.

When classical superstar Martha Argerich needs a partner for a piano duo, she turns to another virtuoso, Lilya Zilberstein.

When you hear her play, with equal shares of dazzling technique and exhilarating style, it’s easy to understand why. Zilberstein has a knack for fluid phrasing and effortless lyricism, while losing none of her characteristic articulation and precision. The resulting sound is equal parts sophisticated and accessible. The Russian-born pianist’s Thursday program at Kilbourn Hall will include some early Beethoven: 24 Variations on “Venni Amore”

by Vincenzio Righini and Sonata No. 23, also known as “Appassionata.” Zilberstein will also play Scriabin’s Sonata in F# Minor, No. 3 and Rachmaninoff’s “Six moments musicaux.”

Buffalo Sex Change will perform along with Shana Falana and Overhand Sam & The Bad Weapons on Friday, February 22, 6 p.m. at Record Archive, 33 1/3 Rockwood Street. Free. 2441210. recordarchive.com; buffalosexchange.bandcamp.com — BY KATIE HALLIGAN

“Modern Dance,” a monotype print in Alan Singer’s “Shapely” exhibit currently on view at AXOM Gallery. PHOTO PROVIDED

Experiments and revelations “Shapely: Recent Paintings and Prints

by Alan Singer” THROUGH FEBRUARY 23 AXOM GALLERY & EXHIBITION SPACE, 176 ANDERSON ALLEY, 2ND FLOOR TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, NOON TO 6 P.M.; SATURDAY, 10 A.M. TO 5 P.M. FREE | 232-6030 | AXOMGALLERY.COM [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

For about a decade, artist and educator Alan Singer has been experimenting with mathematical visualization programs to make fine art. He writes computer code that recreates the natural phenomena of form and color, creating geometry-based abstractions that become dazzling monotype prints, which 20 CITY FEBRUARY 20 - 26, 2019

in turn inform the geometric visuals he paints in oil and acrylic. Singer’s recent paintings and prints are featured in “Shapely,” a solo exhibit currently on view at AXOM Gallery.

Singer was born into an artistic family.

His father was the late wildlife artist Arthur Singer, who exposed his son to a world of artists and gallery exhibitions at a young age.

And though Alan Singer’s early work followed a more traditional path, he says he’s always felt an impulse to push into uncharted territories.

A professor of art at Rochester Institute of Technology for 30 years, Singer points to his students’ use of digital tools as one catalyst of his current mode of making art. He says he became interested in the mathematic processes behind the images created by users of such programs as Photoshop or Illustrator. And Singer was working with geometric shapes in his paintings, and says he wanted to make those shapes more perfect.

He began using mathematical visualization software such as Cinderella, 3D XplorMath, and KnotPlot to learn some code commands, and experimented with creating imagery from that code. He can create simple, colorful shapes, or give the shapes’ surfaces reflective or textural qualities. The possibilities are infinite, and he’s teaching himself new tricks all of the time.

Though they’re two-dimensional, many of Singer’s monotype prints contain such a sense of depth, it seems like you could walk into the plane and explore that world in three dimensions. Singer makes images heavy with shapes and bright, bold spectrums of curved light, creating highly abstracted playgrounds onto which a viewer can project their own associations. The dreamy, appropriately-titled 2016 work “Enigma” features a dark almostsphere, balanced by a glowing yellow dome and surrounded by flowing lines of bright and dusky curves. The scene brings to my mind a cliff and waterway at sunset, with some

inscrutable dark body floating on the water. It seems like a liminal, intangible space, ruled by some unfathomable presence.

Many other pieces similarly straddle metaphysical and tangible realms. The subdued glory-shape in the 2018 monotype “Tacit Knowledge” is pushed and pulled by bursts of primary colors, and reads like a private epiphany made visible. The Art Deco-esque “Importance of Light” is dominated by an absinthe-green sphere floating over the junction of a dark rift, and has an undeniable feeling of reverence to it. “Tropicalia” has no solid forms in it, but its shapes and hot hues speak of sunlight and fronds of equatorial flora.

In other works, the shapes take on more concrete personalities and are staged in slightly more defined, dimensional environments. For example, in the monotype print “Pose Please” figurative elements shaped like knotted tubes interact, the cheeky title insinuating that one is photographing the other.

There’s a sneaky balance between what can be read as narratives or reductive, pure phenomena in the various pieces, and many of the works feel almost cosmic in nature. The ribbons of light pouring forth from a central vanishing point in Singer’s 2017 work “Spinner” bring to mind a scene in the film, “2001: A Space Odyssey,” in which the protagonist Dave is traveling through the wormhole.

But Singer hasn’t forsaken analog methods of creating art — he says he still revels in the tangible materials and the emotional connection of the human hand in art. He often creates oil, acrylic, or pastel paintings based on his code-based renderings. Curves of light and primary colors dance on the oblong panels in “Five Spot,” an installation of oil paintings that bring to mind the colorful tricks of reflected light on the surfaces of floating soap bubbles.

Another oil-on-oval-panel, “Inside Outside” is a painstakingly-painted series of bright, curved lines, dizzyingly arching into a vanishing point.

One of the largest works in the show, the two-panel, acrylic painting “Night Crown” seems to be titled for the subtle dark blue ring painted over the buzzing, shifting geometric pattern that straddles the panels. Built of four converging hexagonal panels, the oil painting “New Neighborhood” shifts between waves hot wavelengths of light, and pixelated fractals spiraling infinitely inward.

Just like a photographer in the darkroom working to document which methods create what outcomes, Singer takes extensive notes to document the results of his experimental use of code. He’s got many books full of these notes, and says he might publish them in the future.

RECREATION | NATIVE AMERICAN WINTER GAMES

Once the weather turns harsh in Western New York, it’s easy to want to just hole up for the winter, when we don’t have to be at work, school, or running errands. But in the 17th century, this region was home to active Seneca town Ganondagan, which bustled with outdoor activity. You can get a taste of the Seneca’s winter pasttimes this weekend at the annual Native American Winter Games. The event features a variety of traditional Seneca activities, including the competitive game of “snowsnake,” dog sled demonstrations, snowboat racing, and snowshoeing.

Indoor activities at the Seneca Art & Culture Center include Iroquois Social Dance demonstrations by the Allegany River Dancers, winter storytelling, raffles, and food for purchase.

Seneca Art & Culture Center at Ganondagan, 7000 County Road 41 in Victor. Saturday, February 23, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

All activities are free and the suggested donation ($5 per individual, $10 per family) includes admission to the Seneca Art & Culture Center. ganondagan.org.

SPECIAL EVENT | LITTLE THEATRE ROCOSCAR PARTY

ART | ‘OUT OF THE SHADOWS’

Sure, you can watch the Academy Awards ceremony from home, but why not get fancy and make a night of it? The Little Theatre will host a shindig this weekend that includes viewing The Oscars on the big screen in theater 1; unlimited popcorn, water, tea, coffee, and fountain beverages; desserts from Premier Pastry and sushi from Bubble Fusion for purchase, and a cash bar with wine and beer from Rohrbach Brewing Company. You don’t have to dress up, but fancy garb and film-themed getups are welcome!

There’s still a little time left to check out “Out of the Shadows,” an exhibit of paintings by Richmond Futch Jr. that were informed by Futch’s work with Rochester’s homeless community, as well as Michele Ashlee’s photographs, which were used as reference for many of the paintings. Futch is a homeless advocate and artistic director of Revelation Rochester, which hosts weekly “Revealing the Artist Within” workshops at St. Joseph’s House of Hospitality. The aim of the work is to shed light on the individual personalities and backstories of the subjects, and show their humanity regardless of the hard challenges they face.

Film The 6th Annual Lubies [ RECAP ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

The Academy Awards happen this Sunday, but let’s be honest: the ceremony audiences are really excited for are the Lubies, CITY’s annual Oscar-alternative honoring films, performances, and trends that have been unjustly overlooked by the Academy. In keeping with Lubie tradition, winners are rewarded not some useless hunk of metal, but with golden everything burritos.

In anticipation of the event, a host of Hollywood luminaries crammed into my apartment for the big reveal of this year’s winners. The Lubies are a raucous occasion: margaritas flowed freely and tortilla chips were on the house, so it’s not exactly shocking to report that the ceremony got a bit sloppy. But let me tell you, it was damn entertaining to watch. Who knows? With planning for this year’s Oscars going the way it has, maybe it’s time I start shopping around the broadcast rights to this far more enjoyable event.

Without further ado, on to the winners: Best Supporting Actress: Cynthia Erivo, “Bad Times at the El Royale,” “Widows”

The Tony- and Grammy-winning actress showed off her impressive range with two very different big screen roles this year.

First she was an aspiring singer who gets mixed up in the no good goings-on of Drew Goddard’s stylish neo-noir “Bad Times at the El Royale,” spending a large portion of her screen time singing gorgeous renditions of Motown classics. Then in Steve McQueen’s tragically Oscar-ignored heist drama, she was unforgettable as the bad-ass wheel woman for the film’s band of would-be thieves led by Viola Davis. Put Erivo in everything, please.

Best Supporting Actor: Brian Tyree Henry, “If Beale Street Could Talk,” “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,” “Widows”

No actor had a better 2018 than Henry, who in addition to his work in “Hotel Artemis,”

“White Boy Rick,” and TV’s “Atlanta,” delivered genuinely great performances in no less than three of the year’s best films.

impulses were rooted in a real, justifiable pain audiences could sympathize with.

Straight From My Nightmares: The bear, “Annihilation”

Nothing else on screen this year sent chills down my spine like this terrifying beast encountered by the scientists in Alex Garland’s sci-fi thriller as they explored the Shimmer, a mysterious quarantined environment where the inhabitants are rapidly mutating due to an unknown alien contaminant.

Best Song: The title track from “Hearts Beat Loud”

All due respect to this year’s likely Best Original Song Oscar-winner “Shallow,” but the toetapping song recorded by the father-daughter duo (played by Keirsey Clemons and Nick Offerman) in this crowd-pleasing indie should have been getting just as much recognition.

Best Actress: Regina Hall, “Support the Girls”

Playing the tireless manager of a Hootersesque sports bar struggling to keep her personal life from self-destructing and her rambunctious staff in line, Hall was the heart and soul of Andrew Bujalski’s funny, empathetic film.

Best Actor: Stephan James, “If Beale Street Could Talk”

Regina King deservedly became the standout in the “Beale Street” cast over the past several months, picking up every award in sight in the run-up to the Academy Awards. But somehow James’ excellent lead performance was almost completely ignored. As the wrongly incarcerated Fonny, James was absolutely heartbreaking.

Best Villain: Michael B. Jordan, “Black Panther”

Receiving his second Lubie Award (after picking up the Best Actor burrito for “Creed”), Jordan turned Erik Killmonger into the year’s best baddie. Like the greatest screen villains, Killmonger’s destructive

Best Dad: Josh Hamilton, “Eighth Grade”

Most parents in teen movies are nonentities, but Hamilton’s father figure was the unsung hero of the film. If you didn’t tear up at his heartfelt fireside speech to Elsie Fisher near the end of Bo Burnham’s sweet and sour tale of adolescence, you may need to check your pulse.

Shoulda Been a Contender: TIE: Jesse Plemons, “Game Night”; Hugh Grant, “Paddington 2”; Logan Marshall-Green, “Upgrade”

There’s no better demonstration of the Academy’s bias against genre and comedy films than the refusal to consider the work of Plemons, Grant, and Marshall-Green as real award contenders. In a just and fair world, all three actors would have been a serious part of the Oscar season conversation for their roles as, respectively, a lonely creep, a villainous actor, and a cyber-enhanced killer.

Best line delivery: “Oh no, he died!”

Rachel McAdams, “Game Night”

No matter how many times I hear it, this line — delivered by McAdams after witnessing a bad guy get sucked into a plane engine — never loses its ability to crack me up.

Moment Most Guaranteed to Traumatize Kids for Years to Come: The Snap, “Avengers: Infinity War”

With a flick of his fingers Josh Brolin’s big bad Thanos wiped out half of the universe — beloved superheroes included — in Marvel’s early summer blockbuster, and I’ll never forget the cries from the youngest audience members in my packed theater showing. Sure, we all expect that tragedy to be undone when “Avengers: Endgame” gets released on April 26, but in the moment, that pain was real.

Best Use of Technical Wizardry: “They Shall Not Grow Old”

Peter Jackson’s fascinating WWI documentary breathed new life into 100 year-old film from the trenches, restoring the footage, then adding color, sound, and even converting it to 3D. Sure, not all of those additions were absolutely necessary, but the results were absolutely stunning.

Best Unearthed Cinematic Treasure: “Something Good — Negro Kiss”

This joyous 20-second short film from 1898, containing what’s believed to be the first kiss between two African-Americans captured on film, was rediscovered at a Louisiana estate sale by an archivist from the University of Southern California and added to the American National Film Registry in December. When Twitter user Kyle A.B. added Nicholas Brittel’s sublime “If Beale Street Could Talk” score to the footage, it only deepened the emotional impact.

Adam Lubitow will live-tweet the Academy Awards ceremony on Sunday, February 24.
