The US media pose as the counterweight to Trump’s unlawful excesses at home. Yet in the case of Venezuela, the media’s biased reporting uncritically supports Trump’s illegal push for yet another hostile regime change, ignoring the US role in the tragedy there. This is reminiscent of the media’s rubber stamp of George W. Bush’s lies about Iraq’s WMD’s, enabling an inept regime change that destroyed the Middle East. In the case of Venezuela, the media sorts through contested facts, exaggerating the illegitimacy of Maduro’s election, the popular support for Guaidó’s self-proclaimed presidency, and the domestic source of the people’s suffering. But there is a deeper geopolitical context kept absent once again from the media debate, just as the false WMD claims went unchallenged. These involve US goals and strategies that require official lies and deceit. Think, for example, of the US goal of regional hegemony, whether in the Middle East or in South America, and the goal of controlling the oil underground. And consider the strategies to achieve these goals: the deceitful demonization of a country’s leader as tyrant and threat, the intentional crippling of a country’s economy with sanctions, justifying intervention as “humanitarian aid.” These strategies now in play in Venezuela have been used by the US repeatedly and have repeatedly gone unchallenged by the corporate media whose interests it shares. Such unchallenged regimechange strategies are best exemplified by the long, bloody
history of US-led coups in Latin American countries, many engineered by the very same players, such as Elliot Abrams, now forging Trump’s Venezuela policy. The media coverup of Bush’s WMD untruths, however catastrophic, possibly pales beside this reprehensibly willful and potentially blood-soaked amnesia perpetrated by the nation’s media on an uninformed American citizenry. Such is the story of Venezuela missing from our nation’s headlines. ARNOLD MATLIN

Whole Foods’ opponents
A letter writer in your February 20 edition asks, “Who’s behind the opposition to Whole Foods?” I’ll tell you who: The majority of the people in Brighton. To be more accurate, what we are against is not Whole Foods, per se, but the “incentive zoning” that allows wealthy developers to buy their way around the zoning regulations the rest of us must follow. I attended most of the town meetings regarding this project. In my 20 years in Brighton, I have never seen crowds that size at a public meeting on any other topic, the overwhelming majority of whom spoke against the project. They were young and old, formal and casual, eloquent and blunt, angry and measured – all of them concerned. I speak here not of the lawyers, developers, traffic engineers, or architects; I speak of the people of Brighton, not paid to turn out, but in attendance because they live here and care about their town. The supervisor and others speak of “open government,” and there is no denying that they gave us multiple, generous opportunities to voice our concerns. The frustration I believe many of us feel is that they did a lot of listening, but failed to hear the fundamental message of the people: We want this project (and all local development) to follow regular zoning regulations.
If we take a look at projects that have received special deals from governments in our region – like The Reserve (Brighton), City Gate (Rochester), and others – we can see that “incentive zoning” and other such programs are not a panacea for the public. The developer in the case of the Whole Foods project has given us ample reason for concern. What we would gain from a process steeped in integrity, honesty, and equality is worth more than any ‘’amenities” a developer can provide. We can improve our town in other ways, without selling our souls, while regular zoning requirements are met. There is no mystery, no conspiracy here: only citizens speaking their minds. JASON ZOGHLIN
Students and the schools
On a reader’s Feedback statement regarding the challenges facing the school district and city students:
Having been a student, parent, and teacher in the Rochester City School District (19481996), I would like to echo Jack Disraeli’s comments apropos of what I perceive to be the district’s “elephant in the room.” While acknowledging “poverty and a difficult home situation,” he observes that “unless a student can come into a school with a certain level of civil behavior, nothing will change.” If one does the simple math, the city school district expends in excess of $30,000 on average per pupil. This, in a budget approaching one billion dollars – ignoring another billion-plus for recent capital expenditure. Sadly, since the days of Herman Goldberg and other superintendents who moved on to responsible positions in Washington and in larger states and urban districts, no one seems to have had a solution for a foundering urban system. Perhaps Mr. Disraeli knows more than most? IVAN LENNON

‘We’re better than this’: lessons from the hearing Very little was surprising about Michael Cohen’s testimony before the House Oversight Committee last week – not even the childish “Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire” poster bearing Cohen’s photograph, which a Republican committee member had set up in the hearing room. We already knew we’d sunk that low. And yet that says a lot. Many of us have become so used to this stuff that nothing the president says or does – nothing his enablers and protectors say or do – surprises us. We’ve become dangerously jaded. On the PBS Newshour, New York Times columnist David Brooks referred to the hearing as “a moral occasion.” And Brooks lit into committee Republicans for caring less about what the president had done than in using the hearing to “rip the skin off of Michael Cohen.” “What struck me,” Brooks said, “is how moral corrosion happens, that you decide that you’re going to ignore Trump, and then to do that you have to morally distance yourself from him. And then you have to morally distance yourself from him every day. And eventually you just get numbed to everything. And so Jim Jordan and other people on the committee were saying, ‘Oh, we all knew this’ – like it’s all unremarkable. That’s how moral corrosion happens.” It was good, then, and maybe hopeful, that the Oversight Committee’s chair, Maryland Representative Elijah Cummings, used his eloquent closing statement to remind the country of what its government is supposed to be like. Printed words don’t do justice to Cummings’ statement; you need Cummings’ voice and rhythm and emphasis. But both the print and the televised versions serve as a warning that in our civic behavior, we’re risking a lot right now. Cummings couldn’t have been any less surprised than the rest of us at Michael Cohen’s testimony. And yet the hearing had troubled Cummings. “You know, I’ve sat here, and I’ve listened to all this, and it’s very painful,” he said. “It’s very painful. “ “We are better than this,” he said. “We really are. As a country, we are so much better than this.” At his one meeting with the president, Cumming said, he told Trump: “The
Elijah Cummings’ closing statement serves as a warning that in our civic behavior, we’re risking a lot right now.” greatest gift that you and I, Mr. President, can give to our children, is making sure we give them a democracy that is intact. A democracy better than the one we came upon.” “I’m hoping,” he said to Cohen, “that the things you said today will help us again to get back there.” The Washington Post, Cummings noted, has counted “at least 8,718” false or misleading statements by Donald Trump. “That’s stunning,” he said. “That’s not what we teach our children. I don’t teach mine that.” The president, Cummings said, has called Cohen a “rat.” “We’re better than that,” Cummings said. “We really are. And I’m hoping that all of us can get back to this democracy that we want, and that we should be passing on to our children so they can do better than what we did.” “When we’re dancing with the angels,” Cummings said, “the question will be asked: In 2019, what did we do to make sure we kept our democracy intact? Did we stand on the sidelines and say nothing?” It was a rare, impassioned civic lesson, from a politician who believes the country can live up to its promise, who seems convinced that “we’re so much better than this.” I’m no longer sure we are. But I hope Elijah Cummings is right.

Counties want more of NY’s cannabis tax
New York could legalize adult use of cannabis this year, and the impact of that change in state law would reach every corner of the state. That’s why the New York State Association of Counties is asking lawmakers to direct a larger part of cannabis tax revenue to local governments. County and municipal governments will face new costs related to things such as public health, public safety, and code enforcement, says NYSAC’s executive director, Stephen Acquario. The state should help offset those costs, he says. Governor Andrew Cuomo’s budget proposal contains a 2 percent tax on transactions between wholesalers and retail establishments. The state would collect the revenue and return the money to counties based on the location of the retailers making the wholesale purchases. NYSAC wants that tax bumped up to 4 percent.
Dems designate LaShay Harris for Council seat
The Monroe County Democratic Committee’s execu-
tive committee designated County Legislator LaShay Harris to run for the South District seat on City Council. Adam McFadden, the current South District Council member, had received the party’s designation last month, but he ended his campaign after he was arrested on federal charges of wire fraud, conspiracy, and money laundering; he has pleaded not guilty. Harris has served as the county legislator for the 27th District since 2016. She is coordinator of the city school district’s Career Pathways to Public Safety program, is a member of the American Heart Association’s board of directors, and is active with the ROC Against Gun Violence Coalition. She's the former manager of business development for American Medical Response. The Democrats’ executive committee designated Harris just as candidates started petitioning. Dorian Hall, a PLEX Neighborhood Association leader, has announced that he’s running for the South District Council seat. Ann Lewis, a former special education teacher in the city school district, is also said to be running. MCDC’s executive committee will designate a new candidate for the 27th District County Legislature seat.

living in the region on Thursday, March 7, at Gates Presbyterian Church, 1049 Wegman Road. The event starts at 6 p.m. Men have controlled the Guatemalan Presbyterian church for years, and they’ve been dismissive of women’s concerns, Sandi says. She began working with women in the church to develop their leadership and communication skills so they could return to their communities and educate people about the need to stop violence against women. The couple also worked with Guatemalans on developing fresh water sources and they’ve helped
set up micro-loan programs that help women develop their own small businesses. Guatemala’s struggles are enormous. The country endured a 36-year civil war that ended in 1996. Land ownership is concentrated among a small group of powerful families and businesses. And the government spends little on education, Brian says. And people flee the country because they fear ongoing violence, he says. “It’s a messy history, and most of us could not know the kind of stress and anxiety they live under,” Sandi says.
Hoeltzer and Sullivan Streets may be about to undergo a major change. The Ibero-American Development Corporation is planning on building Pueblo Nuevo, a $35 million affordable housing project, there. But not everyone in the neighborhood is enthusiastic about it.
DEVELOPMENT | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
New housing fuels hope and fears Hoeltzer and Sullivan Streets are short and narrow one-ways with a mix of modest homes and duplexes, some of which are deteriorated, vacant, and boarded up. Similar to many streets in this northeast section of the city near Joseph and North Clinton Avenues, they’ve become enveloped in a sprawling patchwork of vacant lots that meanders through the area’s residential and commercial blocks. But Hoeltzer and Sullivan may be about to undergo a major change. The IberoAmerican Development Corporation is planning on building Pueblo Nuevo, a $35 million affordable housing project consisting of 104-units spanning multiple dwellings in some of North Clinton’s neighborhoods. Many of the vacant lots on Hoeltzer Street, Sullivan Street, and Kappel Place will be in-filled with new construction, which will dramatically alter their appearance. The city’s Planning Commission last month voted 7-to-0 in favor of the project, all but assuring that Pueblo Nuevo will move forward. Previously, the Zoning Board of Appeals approved a zoning change that’ll allow the construction of two- and threefamily residences. The project is a result of the El Camino Revitalization Area Community Charrette, which took place in August 2016, and its
one part of a larger and long-term plan to uplift the North Clinton area, widely recognized as the heart of Rochester’s Latino community. The area has also struggled to rid itself of drug trafficking. Pueblo Nuevo will consist of a combination of single-family homes, duplexes, and triplexes on Hoeltzer, Sullivan, and Kappel Place, and a twostory, 22,000-square foot, 16-unit multifamily dwelling on Sullivan. Also, the old school building at 938 Clifford Avenue will be converted to an 18-unit multifamily dwelling. All of the units will be rentals consisting of one, two, and three-bedrooms. And some units will be designated for intellectually disabled tenants. The units are available to everyone, subject to income verification, says Eugenio Marlin, IADC’s executive vice president. He declined to provide rent rates, but he says all of the rents will meet state guidelines for affordable housing. “We have enough units here to make a transformative change to the area,” Marlin says. “There will be more eyes on the street with that many people and some of the issues that have plagued the area will be greatly reduced.” However, not everyone in the neighborhood is as enthusiastic as Marlin.

Some residents have complained to city officials about the size of the proposed buildings and a parking shortage, they say, is sure to develop with such a sharp increase of residents. IADC met with neighbors several times and developed a design plan that reflects the history and culture of the area, Marlin says. But Andrew Cehelsky, a long-time resident on Hoeltzer Street, says it’s too much new housing for streets like his. The triplexes are out of scale with most of the other buildings on the street, he says. IADC held meetings, but they were sparsely attended, and most people don’t understand the consequences of increasing density in a neighborhood, Cehelsky says.
“There’s going to be one of these big box buildings next to me,” Cehelsky says. “They block out the sun. You’re looking at a wall.” Cehelsky was one of more than 30 area residents who signed a petition asking the Planning Commission not to approve the project. But the Planning Commission had to consider several things in making its decision to approve the project, says Zina Lagonegro, the city’s zoning manager. “We have a lot of vacant land there and there’s not a lot of people lining up to buy vacant land,” Lagonegro says. “And Ibero will be managing the properties and they have a good track record.”

EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
Community leaders push for major change at RCSD Reverberations from Distinguished Educator Jaime Aquino’s report about the failures of the Rochester City School District have reached a new intensity. Roc the Future, a coalition of more than 60 Rochester-area community institutions and leaders, is pushing for major change in how the school district operates. And its members have asked State Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia and the Board of Regents to include them in a decision about the district’s future. At a press conference on Monday, RTF’s leaders said that they agree with Elia that the Rochester school district is in “crisis” and that the status quo isn’t acceptable. While the district’s situation is dire, RTF leaders said, it has created a rare opportunity for change. And, they said, their collective concern and experience in dealing with children’s issues qualifies them to help bring about that change. RTF’s focus is the academic achievement of Rochester children, and its members include major non-profit organizations and children’s advocates. Its executive committee includes Kirsten Barclay of the Farash Foundation; Dirk Hightower of the Children’s Institute, and Jennifer Leonard, CEO of the Rochester Area Community Foundation. Mayor Lovely Warren and Representative Joe Morelle were at the press conference Monday to lend their support for a campaign RTF is calling “Our Children. Our Future,” aimed at rallying community support for change. In an emotional statement at the press conference, Warren recalled a student assembly when she was a freshmen entering high school. A school official told the students to look to the person to their left and to their right; one or both of them, the official said, would not graduate. “No other suburban district would say something like,‘You don’t have what it takes,’” Warren said. She added, “We have to raise the bar in every school.” Jaime Aquino’s report, which spurred RTF’s action, included specific recommendations for improving the district and the school board’s operations, and Elia had given the 6 CITY

school board and district administrators until February 8 to develop a plan addressing his recommendations. The board and the administrators met that deadline, and they’re now waiting for Elia’s reaction. Elia’s response could determine how the district will operate in the future, at least in the short term. At some public meetings Elia held in Rochester with Regents Wade Norwood and T. Andrew Brown, she warned that she would take some type of action if she wasn’t satisfied with the district’s plan. And Norwood and Brown said they might seek legislative changes. At Monday’s press conference, Warren said that she has met with Elia to talk about the Aquino report and the school district. Her message to Elia, Warren said, is: “Don’t do anything without us. Come and talk to us about the decision you’re making.”
It’s not clear what change Roc the Future wants, however. Its leaders have criticized the district’s response to the Aquino report for not having “vision.” But they haven’t said what they hope Elia will consider doing. They, and many people in the community, seem to want dramatic change, and yet so far they’re not saying what that change should look like. And while RTF’s current effort seems singularly focused on the district’s failures, children’s achievement in school is also affected by poverty, crime, housing, and the other challenges Rochester is facing. In addition, even though RTF leaders stressed at their press conference that they want to work with the school district and the school board, neither the school administration nor the board knew in
advance of their decision to reach out to Elia and the Regents. RTF’S decision to act germinated at a February 8 RTF meeting held to address the Aquino report and the district’s response to it, according to the letter sent to Elia. RTF executive director Jackie Campbell said at the press conference that they decided to preemptively reach out to Elia after reading the district’s improvement plan. It also weighed on RTF leaders and Warren that the district’s plan wasn’t fully endorsed by the current school board. Next fall’s school board election could dramatically change the board’s makeup, so a less than robust endorsement by the current board wasn’t reassuring. It’s not clear that the district will be able to implement the plan it just sent to Aquino. Added to the uncertainty, the board is currently looking for a new superintendent, someone who will have had no say in the plan’s development but will be charged with implementing it. RTF’s decision to approach Elia has fueled speculation that the group is hoping for some form of mayoral control. For instance, the letter said, “there is no evidence that RCSD’s governance has enabled – or can enable – the development and implementation of meaningful change strategies.” And Warren issued a report after holding public meetings of her own concerning the Aquino report, which indicated that there may be some community support for some type of shared governance, if not mayoral control. At the press conference, however, Warren said she didn’t think mayoral control was a solution to the district’s problems at this time. And RTF leaders said several times that they are not pressing for mayoral control. And even if, in the end, Elia and the Regents decide that mayoral control is needed, that would take action by the state legislature. And as it did in 2010, when then-Mayor Bob Duffy tried to get mayoral control for Rochester, it would lead to a major fight with the union. In addition to its push for involvement in Elia’s decision, Roc the Future has posted a petition on its website to build community support for its effort “to define and create a new leadership structure for Rochester’s schools.” Meanwhile, Roc the Future, like the community, is waiting for Elia to say what she wants to have happen with the district, which should happen within the next few weeks. rochestercitynewspaper.com

The threat to seed diversity
For the next event in its winter movie series, Color Brighton Green will host two screenings of “SEED: The Untold Story,” a documentary focusing on the history of seeds and the threat from their control by big business. Humans once benefitted from an extensive variety of seeds. But thanks to the increasing dominance of big industry, much of that diversity has disappeared. “A cadre of 10 agrichemical companies (including Syngenta, Bayer, and Monsanto) now controls more than two-thirds of the global seed market,” the film’s promotional material says. 8 CITY
MARCH 6 - 12, 2019
That has forced farmers to pay expensive licensing fees to plant seeds and restricted their ability to save the seeds their plants produce. And it puts entire types of plants at risk of disease. “SEED” tells the story of the farmers, indigenous seed keepers, activists, scientists, and lawyers who have been fighting the seed companies. It features Indian scholar and environmental activist Vandana Shiva; primatologist Jane Goodall; Andrew Kimbrell, founder of the Center for Food Safety; Winona LaDuke, executive director of the environmental advocacy group Honor the Earth; and Raj Patel, author of “Stuffed and Starved: The Hidden Battle for the World Food System.” The film will be shown at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 6, at Brighton Memorial Library, 2300 Elmwood Avenue, and at 6:30 p.m. Sunday,
March 10, at Greece Baptist Church, 1230 Long Pond Road. Jarmila Haseler, agricultural educator at the Cornell Cooperative Extension, will lead a discussion after the film on March 6, and Walt Nelson, a horticulturalist with the Cornell Cooperative Extension, will lead one on March 10.
Using wind to deal with climate change
Downtown Presbyterian Church’s next forum on solutions to climate change will focus on land-based wind electricity generation. Neely Kelley, state senior organizer for Mothers Out Front, will discuss wind energy as a possible path to meeting New York’s 2030 and 2050 climate goals. The event will be at 121 Fitzhugh St., 9:50 a.m. on Sunday, March 10. It’s open to the public.

A tale of two breweries NYBP Beer Hall 300 HIGH STREET, VICTOR MONDAY-THURSDAY, 11 A.M. TO NOON; FRIDAY-SATURDAY, 11 A.M. TO 1 A.M.; SUNDAY; 11 A.M. TO 11 P.M. 888-6927; NYBEERPROJECT.COM [ PROFILE ] BY MARY RICE
When you enter New York Beer Project in Victor, the first thing you’ll notice is the two enormous glass chandeliers suspended from the beer hall’s lofty 45-foot ceilings. Look a little more closely and you’ll see
representations of hops, barley, yeast, and water woven into the metalwork of the staircase that leads to the upper level. The eye-catching decor is all part of NYBP owners Kelly and Kevin Krupski’s vision of celebrating New York State beer, served with a side of Big Apple flair. Located across the street from Eastview Mall, New York Beer Project is the sister location of the popular Lockport brewery of the same name. The massive grey limestone building encompasses a brewery, a tap room, three bars, an indoor beer garden, a rooftop terrace, and an event loft with room for 150 people. The
brewery, which held its grand opening on February 14, offers a rotating selection of beers on tap, plus a full gastropub menu of appetizers, soups, salads, pizzas, sandwiches, burgers, and seasonal plates. The Krupskis acknowledge they took a somewhat unconventional route to brewery ownership. Kelly is a former music teacher and Kevin is a certified public accountant. The couple fell in love with brewing culture on a trip to Colorado, where Kelly says they were struck by the inclusiveness of the breweries they visited. “There were families, there were kids, it was for everyone,” she says. The Krupskis wanted to bring that sort of atmosphere to their area, so they hired consultants and began learning all they could about brewing. “The learning curve was straight up,” Kevin says. The original New York Beer Project (“the mothership,” as Kelly calls it) opened its doors in Lockport in November 2015. That cavernous, 15,000 square foot space draws inspiration from several sources: From the lively, convivial beer halls popular with German immigrants living in New York City during the late 19th century; from New York State’s long brewing history; and from Manhattan’s Grand Central Terminal. The brewery even has reproductions of the terminal’s distinctive chandeliers. Kevin says that although the Lockport location on South Transit Road was a little off the beaten path, the business became something of a “destination brewery,” attracting beer lovers from all over Western New York and even from Pennsylvania and Ohio. In late 2017, the Krupskis were approached by developer Fred Rainaldi Jr. about opening a sister location in Victor. Rainaldi Brothers, Inc. is the developer behind the High Point project off Route 96 in Victor, as well as other developments such as the Culver Road Armory. Rainaldi thought New York Beer Project would be a great fit at High Point, which already includes retail businesses The North Face and Alex + Ani, plus several new businesses yet to be announced. As Kelly tells it, she and Kevin were sitting in a Victor restaurant after some lastminute holiday shopping when they got the call from Rainaldi Brothers, asking whether they would consider opening a second NYBP. The proposed location was right across the
street from where the Krupskis happened to be sitting. “It was just serendipity,” she says. The Victor New York Beer Project is similar to the Lockport original in terms of its size, scope, and menu, but the two have very different personalities, Kelly says. The Victor brewery’s look and feel takes inspiration from the Atlantic Garden, a beer hall that was popular in Manhattan during the late 1800s. The new brewery’s palatial scale, gleaming chandeliers, and imposing staircase evoke Gilded Age splendor against a modern backdrop of exposed brick walls and steel beams. The overall effect is grand and yet approachable, ambitious yet down-to-earth. On a recent Thursday around 5 p.m., New York Beer Project was buzzing with professional types fresh from the office. While we waited for a table in the indoor beer garden, my group ordered beers at the tap room bar. I ordered “The One” New England IPA, a cloudy, citrusy brew with a wonderful yellow-orange color. I also begged a few sips from my drinking companions, sampling the Superfunk Sour (refreshingly fruity, not mouth-puckeringly sour); the Lockport Lager (mild and pleasantly wheaty); the Destination IPA (one of the brewery’s flagships, for good reason); and the Cherry Blonde (for the drinker with a sweet tooth). For the time being, all of the beer at New York Beer Project is brewed at the Lockport location. Krupski says the Victor location will brew its first test batch in early March. When a table became available, my party and I settled ourselves at a long high-top and ordered several appetizers for the table. The place was getting busier by the minute — probably the reason our food took nearly 45 minutes to arrive. The Brooklyn mozzarella logs, were, true to their name, formidably sized. If you don’t want to get scalded by molten cheese, I recommend fork and knife. The Destination Flight consisted not of beer but of sliders, miniature versions of three different burgers on the menu. We paired the burgers with an order of parmesan-truffle fries hot from the fryer, which quickly disappeared down the other end of the table before I could nick more than a couple. But it was the Biergarten Bavarian pretzel that was most popular with our party: a massive, salty masterpiece that arrived with three different dipping sauces. As far as beer pairings go, there’s really no beating a classic. rochestercitynewspaper.com

Advocating for women of color in the arts [ FEATURE ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
A cavernous, lofted space on the third floor of an old industrial building at 215 Tremont Street was recently given a fresh coat of paint, and it will soon be filled with art and activity. There’ll be sounds of women making plans for collaborative arts and cultural events, while children play nearby. It’s an empty space now, blank with potential, but as the home base of the newly formed WOC•Art collaborative, the place will be used as an incubator for ideas and actions, from art and socialjustice salons to book clubs, exhibits, performances, and other programming that the group dreams up. WOC•Art (pronounced “woke art”) is a multi-generational, multi-racial, multi-discipline collaborative of creative women of color, says the group’s founder, Rachel DeGuzman. The women are pooling the power of their individual accomplishments to support one another’s endeavors and create a stronger, more visible platform for their projects. But a major reason the members formed the group is to address inequity in the arts, specifically where it concerns women of color. As artists, they are funded and exhibited far less than white men. If you visit almost any museum or gallery, the problem is evident. In politics and in the entertainment industry, women of color are gaining more visibility and power, DeGuzman
WOC•Art will host open houses on Thursday, March 7, 6 to 9 p.m., and Saturday, March 23, 1 to 4 p.m. More information and other WOC•Art members’ upcoming events are available on facebook.com/WOCArt585.
says. “But where are we in the arts? Women of color are not recognized as brilliant, and not funded as brilliant.” It’s no secret that race- and genderbased inequity exist everywhere, including in Rochester. The problem is in every sector, but the fact that it exists in the arts is often overlooked, DeGuzman says. “But if we are to say that arts make a difference in people’s lives, than equity in arts funding matters.” And though Rochester keeps convening groups to address systemic issues, DeGuzman says, “the people that are experiencing marginalization are not at the table.” Meanwhile, many local women of color have been doing work that helps marginalized populations, often within communities of color. They’re doing it without access to a lot of funding and without being asked to join the committees that manage the resources to address inequity. WOC•Art has 11 founding members, including DeGuzman. They include artists of various cultural backgrounds and experiences and other kinds of professionals who work within marginalized cultural sectors in Rochester.
Many of the women run businesses, head performing arts organizations, or provide arts and cultural programming to schools and the wider community. DeGuzman’s business, 21st Century Arts, provides consulting services for artists and arts organizations. She’s also developed a series called “At The Crossroads: Activating the Intersection of Art and Justice,” which uses the arts to facilitate conversations about social justice. For each event, she brings together a different group of people – mostly people of color – to co-create the programming and discussions, which tackle intersecting issues of racism, sexism, transphobia, poverty, and other factors of inequality. Most of the founding members of WOC•Art have participated in the series in one way or another, and some have collaborated with one another in the past. Founding member Rachel McKibbens is an internationally-acclaimed poet and visual artist and the founder of the annual Pink Door Writing Retreat, which since 2012 has created space exclusively for femme, trans, and gender variant writers of color. She’s also the co-owner of The Spirit Room, a downtown cocktail bar that regularly hosts musical performances continues on page 12

of our different journeys and voices and areas of expertise, to be able to do that in a cohesive way.” WOC•Art’s space is adjacent to Ralph Thompson’s Gallery Seventy-Four, where for more than a year DeGuzman has held most of the “At the Crossroads” events. The wide-open space measures between 700 and 800 square feet and has a kitchen and an accessible bathroom, and the building has a wheelchairaccessible ramp and elevator. Collective members will have use of Thompson’s 2,700 square-foot gallery space for performances, rehearsals, creation, and exhibitions for 260 days this year. The group’s vision is for the loft to function as a co-work space, with some group members having regular office hours there. The collaborative will work to increase opportunities for women of color, copromote their work, and find funding for the group’s projects as well as projects put together by other women of color. “These are super creative and busy women who have carved out spaces to not just realize their dreams, but create spaces where other women, femmes, girls, and traditionally marginalized people can actualize theirs,” Golden says. Golden says she sees the collaborative as a space of refuge, for creative time apart from the work they do individually. “I also see it as a way to come together and open the door, figuratively and literally, to other emerging young women who don’t have a space to interact and
interface with women in their field, or women like us who may have something to offer them specifically,” she says. In April, Golden and DeGuzman are bringing New York-based playwright Sarita Covington to Rochester to present the world premiere of her play “Things Went Horribly Wrong” for nine performances at The Avenue. The play explores female leadership as it moves back and forth between the lives of South African anti-apartheid activist Winnie Mandela and a 14-year-old girl from New York City’s Lower East Side. In April of 2018, four actors did a live reading of the play streamed via Skype from Covington’s home as part of an “At The Crossroads” event held at Gallery Seventy-Four. The play is one of the first events that members of WOC•Art will present. Golden will direct the play, and DeGuzman is organizing a Long Table Conversation to accompany each performance. Harris has been tapped to create multimedia visuals. WOC•Art will use 2019 as a year of research and development. In the meantime, they’ve launched a crowdfunding campaign to help with the first year of rent as the group finds its footing. It’s important to take time and create space for deciding exactly what the group wants to accomplish, Golden says. “That part feels really positive.”

The local band’s self-titled debut album is not just tuneful – it’s downright bubbly; it’s sugary, but it’s also substantive. The Capitals play with non-invasive tones and grooves.

On the wonderful new album “Flatbed Buggy,” Rudy Royston employs a variety of musical styles to paint a vivid, aural picture of his pastoral childhood. Royston is a first-call jazz drummer, enhancing the music of Bill Frisell, Branford Marsalis, Dave Douglas and numerous others, but “Flatbed Buggy” transcends jazz. Start with the distinctive instrumentation: Gary Versace on accordion; John Ellis, bass clarinet and saxophones; Hank Roberts, cello; and Joe Martin on bass. The unusual combination of timbres somehow conjures up the feel of country life throughout the album. Versace – an Eastman School of Music professor – is especially strong, moving effortlessly from elegiac to lilting in his solos. Royston not only plays subtly; he showcases his formidable skills as a composer with beautiful tunes like “Soul Train,” “boy…MAN,” and “I Guess It’s Time to Go.” — BY RON NETSKY

Grease Creepers is a local psychobilly band that’s bringing classic rock back from the dead with an energetic punk flair. The band has been rocking out and throwing a wild party since its debut release in 2016. Its newest album “Stay Creepy,” released in November 2018, offers a more streamlined and cohesive zombie aesthetic. “Stay Creepy” is a head-banging thrill ride of untamed spirit and otherworldly energy. Grease Creepers experiment with hints of swing jazz that meld into psychedelic dreamscapes in songs like “Stalker,” while resurrecting its rowdy, country-punk style in “Staring Down the Barrel.” “Let Me Eat Your Brains” is the ultimate climax, a sinister and silly story-song that embodies the band’s explosive energy. It’s evident that Grease Creepers have honed their technical skills and devilish style, reaching further into the depths of your soul from the grave. — BY KATIE HALLIGAN

Known for her icon versions of songs by The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Stephen Sondheim, and others, Judy Collins will perform in Rochester on March 9. PHOTO PROVIDED
Enduring voice Judy Collins PRESENTED BY GOLDEN LINK FOLK SINGING SOCIETY SATURDAY, MARCH 9 HOCHSTEIN PERFORMANCE HALL, 50 NORTH PLYMOUTH AVENUE 7:30 P.M. | $40-$70 | GOLDENLINK.ORG; JUDYCOLLINS.COM [ INTERVIEW ] BY RON NETSKY
When you phone Judy Collins, if you’re lucky she will not answer. “Hi, this is Judy,” a voice will say, and then sing: “I’ll be seeing you in all the old familiar places...” Then: “Leave your name and number and I’ll call you back.” It’s that unmistakable soprano voice, still gorgeous after all these years. 16 CITY MARCH 6 - 12, 2019
Collins released her first album in 1961. By the late 1960’s she was a ubiquitous radio presence, with songs like Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now,” John Lennon’s “In My Life” and Leonard Cohen’s “Suzanne.” Fans who attend her Golden Link Folk Singing Society concert at Hochstein Performance Hall Saturday will hear that she’s still going strong with her latest, timely, a cappella song, “Dreamers.” Collins did call back, and the following is an edited version of the conversation. CITY: In your early years you were a concert pianist. What made you turn to folk music? Judy Collins: After playing the piano, playing
with symphonies and learning all the songs of Rodgers and Hart, singing with choirs and choruses and singing with my own group, at 15 I was struck by two folk songs: “Barbara Allen” and “The Gypsy Rover.” That was it. I knew that was the kind of music I had to do.
In the 1960’s and throughout your career, you had an ear for great songwriters: Eric Anderson, Phil Ochs, Gordon Lightfoot. You introduced the world to Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen.
I was very lucky because I didn’t write my own songs. The first couple of albums I did traditional songs, but when I moved to Greenwich Village, it was time to do the songs of the singersongwriters who were swarming around me. I learned to how to pick a song from my father, who had a radio show for 30 years, and played and sang beautifully all the songs of the Great American Songbook. So I knew what to listen for in a great song. It was probably in my DNA. When did you first hear “Both Sides Now”?
Oh my god, I heard it on the telephone in the middle of the night in the spring of 1967. Joni Mitchell had been hanging out at a club with Al Kooper and Blood, Sweat & Tears. He
knew what I did with other people’s songs. He said, “We’re going to call Judy right now, you’re going to sing her that song, and she’s going to record it.” How did you discover Leonard Cohen?
We had a mutual friend who talked to me about Leonard when he was writing obscure poetry. One day she called and said, “Guess what? He’s writing songs. He wants to come and see you.” In 1966 he came to my door. He sang me “Suzanne,” “Dress Rehearsal Rag,” and “The Stranger Song,” and that was it. What made you do the interspecies collaboration, “Farewell to Tarwathie”?
I was acting that summer in the Delacorte Theatre, “Peer Gynt” with Stacy Keach. One night a man came backstage after the show. He said, “You don’t know me, but I’ve got this tape. I just recorded the humpback whales in Bermuda.
The Living Room Session. B-Side, 5 Liftbridge Lane. Fairport. 315-3003. 7 p.m. Low Lily, John Whelan. Lovin’ Cup, 300 Park Point Dr. 292-9940. lovincup.com. 8 p.m. $20/$25.
It has never been recorded before. I want you to take it home and listen to it and figure out what to do with it.” I’d listened to a lot of sea shanties. I was engrossed with English, Irish and Scottish whaling songs, so I knew “Farewell to Tarwathie,” and when I heard the whales singing I thought, that will be a perfect match. I know you’ve recently been touring with Stephen Stills, but what was it like in 1969 to have “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes,” his song about you, all over the radio?
I couldn’t get away from it. It was perpetual Stephen Stills all the time. We remained friends after our affair. We had a good friendship to the point where we, somewhat nervously on both of our parts, decided to do some shows together. We ended up doing 115 shows over the past year and a half. On your 1968 album, “Who Knows Where the Time Goes,” you showed that you also could write, with songs like “My Father.”
Thank you. I’m very proud of my writing. I was encouraged to write by Leonard Cohen. He encouraged me to write my own songs, and I encouraged him to sing his own songs, so we did each other big favors. In 1975, what made you record Stephen Sondheim’s “Send in the Clowns”?
An old friend of Leonard’s found it. She said, “You have to do this.” I put the needle on the cut and I immediately called [Broadway producer] Hal Prince and said, “This is an amazing song.” He said, “Yes it is, and about 200 people have already recorded it.” I said, “Who cares?” There are few artists who began in the 1960’s and are still recording today. Why do you think you’ve endured?
I had a great teacher. In 1965, I was on the road and losing my voice all the time. I called this teacher and he asked, “What kind of music do you sing?” I told him and he said, “I’m not interested. You people are not serious.” I said, “I’m very serious. I’d like to have a long career.” He said, “O.K., you can come over.” I said, “Where do you live?” He gave me his address, and I said, “O.K., I’ll be right over.” I walked out my door on the eighth floor, made a right, passed the elevator, and rang his bell. I would say it was meant to be. I studied with Max Margolis for 32 years, until he died. Last time I saw him in the hospital, he said, “Don’t worry. All you have to think about is clarity and phrasing.” The method he taught is called Bel canto. It’s very simple, but it takes 32 years to learn it.

Madrigalia is not a very large choir, but it’s an accomplished one, and its sound can easily fill a large space. That’s exactly what it will be doing in three different local churches in a program called “Music for Large Spaces” this weekend: Pittsford’s St. Louis Church; Church of the Incarnate Word, downtown; and Chili’s St, Pius X Church. As is typical for Madrigalia, Music Director Cary Ratcliff has chosen a varied potential playlist that ranges from Gregorio Allegri to Annie Lennox. Whether ancient or modern, it is music designed to allow voices to resonate in grand, open spaces. Madrigalia presents “Music for Large Spaces” on Friday, March 8, 7:30 p.m. at St. Louis Church, 64 South Main Street in Pittsford; Saturday, March 9, 7:30 p.m. at Church of the Incarnate Word, 597 East Avenue; and Sunday, March 10, 4 p.m. at St, Pius X Church, 3010 Chili Avenue. $5-$18. madrigalia.org. — BY DAVID RAYMOND

Though the written words of escaped slave, abolitionist, orator, and statesman Frederick Douglass continue to resonate into the present, and though he was photographed more than any other American of his time, he now exists within our collective imagination. And with time, he becomes more and more like a mythological figure. But a new film installation currently on view at the Memorial Art Gallery presents Douglass as a living, 18 CITY MARCH 6 - 12, 2019
breathing man in various public and private moments of his life. Filmmaker Isaac Julien’s newest installation, “Lessons of the Hour — Frederick Douglass,” is the second commission by the MAG for its Rochester-focused “Reflections on Place” series, curated by John G. Hanhardt, and this exhibition is the world premiere of the piece. Julien’s work is non-linear cinema, unfolding in episodes as an A/V collage across 10 large and small screens. Yet each richly-constructed scene reads as an immersive film, bringing Douglass to life. The vignettes bring viewers into the rooms where he gave renowned speeches, into quiet moments alone with his pen, and into the present political times when his — and our — work remains unfinished. “The work is about looking at Frederick Douglass through the present to the past and then back again,” Hanhardt says. For this presentation, the MAG’s Docent Gallery is entirely transformed into a manysectioned viewing room, each space painted black and with sparse, carefully positioned lighting. An outer chamber holds a crescent
of large tintype photos of three of the actors from the film, and the innermost chamber has a row of cushioned seats facing the arc of screens. The space’s deep crimson carpet matches one of the bright coats worn by Douglass (played in the film by Ray Farron) and picks up on colors in each lush scene. “Lessons of the Hour” was filmed in both 35mm and digital technology, and shot on location in Baltimore — some scenes were shot inside Douglass’s home — and in Scotland. Julien worked with a large team of artists to produce the work; beyond the cast of actors, he credits multiple exhibition designers and a crew that rivals any short-length feature in scale. Douglass recognized that photography could be used as a powerful tool to represent the self to the masses. Julien’s work is an extension of this; it envisions and attempts to recreate the power of his presence. And hammering that point home: in one scene Farron gives Douglass’s “Lecture on Pictures,” while on other screens he and various actors sit to be photographed.
A good portion of the work emphasizes the fullness of solitude. Any peace found in those moments is heavy with both memories of lived experience and the burden of work yet to be done. In some scenes Douglass sits alone composing letters and speeches, or he roams in the woods. The contemplative serenity of that autumnal scene is disrupted by cracks of a whip, and by visions of a lynching. In another scene he leads a horse through the Scottish landscape, and each different screen focuses on Douglass’s blue-coated figure. He’s dwarfed by great sweeping views of the land as well as detail of him travelling: the camera follows the horse’s hooves in tall grass, and on other screens it focuses on his face taking in the gentle melancholy of the sights. All the while, a dramatic composition of stringed instruments floods the room. The romanticism of this scene peaks when a larger screen focuses on Douglass, having crested a cluster of rocks, turned away from the viewer and staring into the distance. It’s an unmistakable allusion to German Romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich’s “Wanderer above the Sea of Fog,” from his stance to the overcoat and walking stick. Douglass often travels by train in this work, and in one episode the steel wheels spin in time with the rotating mechanisms of the sewing machine where Anna Murray Douglass, on another screen, is at work constructing her husband’s clothing. She looks up and stares into space, matching his meditative expression. In one of the most complex scenes, the installation combines overlapping images and sounds that leap back and forth through history. Some screens show views of Douglass addressing a mixed contemporary and historic crowd with his “Fourth of July” speech. On other screens, aerial footage sweeps over Baltimore at night, showing modern-day views of the city which pointedly include the Domino Sugar factory and a Transamerica Corporation high-rise. “These shouts of liberty and equality: hollow mockery,” Farron-as-Douglass booms over images of slave ships sailing on dark waters. And subtly, on a small side screen, fireworks explode in reverse. Also appearing on some screens during this speech scene is drone footage from the Baltimore Police Department, tracking the movements of crowds during the 2015 Uprising after Freddie Gray was killed. The vibrant colors and rapt attention of the crowd as it watches Douglass speak contrast sharply with the infrared, robotic views of the drone coldly surveilling, but far removed from the community’s despair and resistance.

KIDS | ‘SUPERMAN’
FILM | ‘CATVIDEOFEST 2019’
Theatre Young Kids Enjoy (TYKEs) continues its 15th season this week with “It’s a Bird… It’s a Plane… It’s Superman,” a new family-friendly version of the original Tony Award-nominated 1966 Broadway production. The story follows Superman’s dealings with Dr. Sedgwick, a vengeful scientist who feels underappreciated. Presented in collaboration with Flying by Foy — the company that helps Peter Pan fly in thousands of productions worldwide — the Man of Steel will soar onstage for two weekends this month, with first-time-ever evening performances in addition to matinees.
If you’re feeling the need to mentally check out of political and weather related things for a little bit, how does a full 70 minutes of cat videos sound? This weekend, Rochesterians can, as a group, worship at the feet of the feline gods at The Little Theatre’s CatVideoFest 2019. The screening is a compilation reel of the most entertaining cat video pulled from unique submissions, animations, music videos, and of course, their kingdom: the internet. If you spend any real kind of time on the web, you’ve probably seen at least some of the videos. But let’s be real, that’s not an actual deterrent for attending.

There’s a long tradition of artists drawing inspiration from the natural world, whether their aim is to duplicate some breathtaking wonder, record moments in a changing world, or point out something of significance. Drawing on this tradition but focusing specifically on what is meant to remain unchanged, Rochester Contemporary’s new exhibit, “Landscapes and the Unbuilt,” presents meditations by several local artists on various properties conserved by the Genesee Land Trust. 20 CITY MARCH 6 - 12, 2019
Each of the nine artists — Phyllis Bryce Ely, Aaron Delahanty, Andrea Durfee, Nate Hodge, Patricia Rossotti, Jennifer Schinzing, Bill Stephens, Jean K. Stephens, and George Wegman — were given a menu of about 30 preserved properties to choose from, says RoCo’s executive director Bleu Cease. They made their selection, and spent three seasons, from late summer to the early winter, investigating and responding to the spaces. The Genesee Land Trust has a wide range of properties, from bird-banding stations along the lake, to watersheds and the El Camino Trail. “They’re not necessarily all beautiful landscapes, they’re not all park-like settings like Corbett’s Glen,” Cease says. “Preserving a little slice of old rail bed, or scrappy little pieces of urban environment — that’s also a beautiful thing about a land trust, they can do that.” For example, George Wegman focused on the El Camino Trail, an urban foot and bike path that connects neighborhoods with parks, the Avenue D Recreation Center, and cultural amenities. His work is the one of the
few sections of the show that includes human traces, and using watercolor, inks, and stains, he created paintings that incorporate resilient bits of nature within the built environment. Graffiti, litter, and chain-link fences are as much a part of the landscape’s textures as the stands of trees and wildflowers. A good portion of the artists responded to their chosen spaces with literal, traditional drawings or paintings, recreating great vistas or detailed minutiae in their individual styles. Jean K. Stephens’ works in graphite on paper depict the elegance of bare, gnarled limbs reaching for the sky and dark tangles of exposed roots that she found in Macedon’s Ganargua Creek Meadow Preserve. The artists’ statements are posted on the gallery’s walls, paired with details about the properties such as history and why each space is important to the balance of the local ecosystem. They form a significant component of the show, giving the context of the places and the artists’ interactions with them An extended version of this article is online at rochestercitynewspaper.com.

DANCE | RCB’S MASQUERADE
ART | ‘HEART DOESN’T KNOW RULES’
Don your dapper duds and grab a gilded mask. It’s not often you get to take in a ballet performance and hit the dance floor at the same venue, in the same evening. Rochester City Ballet’s annual fundraiser Masquerade takes place this weekend at Restaurant Good Luck’s new event space, the Jack Rabbit Club. Tickets include a performance by RCB, beer and wine, snacks from Good Luck’s chefs, and a dance party with music by DJ Daggz. Proceeds benefit Rochester City Ballet’s education programs.
Ithaca-based painter and educator Lin Price’s works are loosely narrative, and with their scraps and snippets of figures, animals, and objects in uncertain settings, they’re like peering into a fleeting dream. The territory’s shapes are familiar enough and you can get a sense of the emotional tones, but each canvas is ripe with mystery. Price’s solo show, “Heart Doesn’t Know Rules: Paintings by Lin Price” is on view this month at AXOM Gallery.

LITERATURE | WOMEN’S DAY READINGS
ART | ‘FORCES AT PLAY’
In celebration of International Women’s Day, Writers & Books will this week host its second annual International Women’s Day Reading. Hosted by Sonja Livingston, the event features local writers celebrating their favorite women authors by lifting their voices and reading from their works. This year’s set of writers is Lindsay Herko, Kristen Gentry, Rachel Hall, Sejal Shah, Christine Green, and Gregory Gerard.
Paul Brandwein contemplated the pervasiveness of the oval while creating the work for his new show, “Forces At Play,” which opened this month at Geisel Gallery. The form suggests planetary orbits, embryonic life, and subatomic particles, he says in an artist statement that accompanies the work.

Film
Isabelle Huppert and Chloë Grace Moretz in “Greta.” PHOTO COURTESY FOCUS FEATURES
Twisted paths “Greta” (R), DIRECTED BY NEIL JORDAN NOW PLAYING [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
Awards season has ended, and thank goodness for that. It seems to drag on longer every year, and 2018’s was an especially grueling and highly contentious one. Now finally, we get a break from serious examinations of real-world issues, as studios unleash their more modest, less ambitious output. Case in point: the very silly stalker thriller “Greta,” from director Neil Jordan (“Interview with the Vampire”). The film stars Chloë Grace Moretz as Frances, a waitress at a swanky New York City restaurant and fresh transplant to the
city. On her way home from work one evening, she finds an expensive looking handbag abandoned in a subway car. A good Samaritan, Frances takes it upon herself to return it, despite being warned against such actions by her roommate Erica (Maika Monroe, “It Follows”). The owner of the purse turns out to be a sweet, lonely Brooklyn widow named Greta (legendary French actress Isabelle Huppert), who is exceedingly grateful. She invites Frances in for tea, and they exchange numbers before making plans to get together again. The two women soon strike up a friendship. Both are lonely, finding that the other’s presence fills a void in their lives. Frances is still grieving her recently deceased mother, while Greta is missing her daughter, who now lives abroad. But it isn’t long before Greta’s pleasant nature starts to slip, revealing more sinister motives.
Huppert’s presence and Jordan’s direction lend an air of class to what’s otherwise a descendant of trashy 90’s psychodramas in the vein of “Single White Female” and “The Hand that Rocks the Cradle.” He doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but the script (written by Jordan and Ray Wright) subverts expectations when it can. It’s a bit campy, though in a knowing, winking way that occasionally undercuts some of the fun. Still, you get to watch Isabelle Huppert flip a table, and that’s really worth the ticket price on its own. There are nods to more serious themes of motherhood and loneliness, but Jordan’s film is unpretentious in its aims. “Greta” embraces its ridiculousness, and it’s funny far more often than it is truly frightening. The characters do some dumb things, and the film requires some suspension of disbelief
while we wait for things to really get nuts, as Greta’s truly unhinged nature reveals itself. That doesn’t really happen until the final act, when the film turns into the type of movie where audience can’t help but get vocal, screaming advice to the characters on screen (and based on my experience at the theater, they will). It’s only then that the film reaches its full potential. Moretz is nothing if not committed, acting as a suitably terrified damsel in distress. But she can’t help being far outmatched by her co-star. She’s a gifted actress, hampered somewhat here by playing such a thinly drawn character. But the reason to see the film is Huppert’s deliciously looney performance. She’s appropriately warm early on, then more unnerving as she taps into her more familiar, slightly chilly screen demeanor. The actress is clearly having a grand time playing up the dark comedy of the premise. She’s fabulous enough that you start to think being the object of Huppert’s obsessive attention might actually be pretty fantastic. There’s fun to be had in seeing an actress of Huppert’s stature dive headfirst into this material, but a sharper script and more developed characters could have helped the film transcend its genre origins. The brief running time ensures it doesn’t overstay its welcome, and there’s something to be said for a skillfully-made, tightly-constructed B-movie. No one’s going to mistake it for high art, but with a game cast and Jordan’s slick direction, it makes for a satisfying meal, even if it’s mostly empty calories.
