Racism’s roots

On a reader’s letter arguing that institutions, not most individual Americans, are to blame for the country’s racism: I couldn’t disagree

more. “Institutions” are not passive, static organizations or systems but the creation of society. Therefore, each of us as individual bears some responsibility for how they operate.

The Democratic Party and the Electoral College (both referenced in the letter as examples of institutions) are composed of people; individuals. Therefore, his statement of “blaming Americans for the failures of these rogue, incompetent institutions is wrong” is completely without merit.

“Progress” regarding racism since Martin Luther King Jr. has been severely restricted by the imbalance of power held primarily by whites, and to place this problem at the doorstep of institutions without considering individual white accountability perpetuates the problem of racism.

The very nature of oppression makes it hard for those of us who are comfortable to see the problem.

I have shared the simple analogy of a pendulum in explaining Donald Trump’s ascension to the presidency: The great societal force that it took to place a person of African descent in the White House quickly and surely reversed (and righted) itself in placing a demagogue and race-baiter in his place.

Cobbs Hill living

I am a recently arrived resident of Cobbs Hill Village, love the place as it is, and am strongly opposed to the current plans.

To tear down these wonderful, cottage-like residences and replace them with two 40-unit, three-story buildings housing some really poor seniors and build four two-story townhouse structures designed for seniors who can afford much higher rents not only destroys the integrity of this village within a park but will almost certainly lead to conflict within the new complex.

Rochester Management has behaved as if there are no rational plans that do not include the destruction of the existing village. On the flagpole lot where they plan to build the first building, there is room to build several single-story buildings that match the architecture of the current buildings.

The apartment I live in could be improved and made more energy-efficient, and kitchen and baths could be updated for far less than the cost of $275,000 per apartment that is projected

by Rochester Management in its new plan. As a resident, I beg any user of the park to encourage City Council to reject the current plan.

It is unrealistic to think that future politicians would vote to evict the seniors from their homes so the land could be transformed into parkland. Can you envision the headlines in 2041: “City Council votes to tear down Cobbs Hill Village and evict the poor seniors that live there”? Turning this land into parkland will never happen.

A village within the confines of a park that blends in with the park and serves low-income seniors is a desirable outcome.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Who produces our news?

Does it make a difference?

Where do you get your news?

This country has always needed well-informed citizens, but good grief: It sure needs them today. At the same time, it’s getting harder to keep up with the news and be well informed. There’s simply too much news, too much complexity.

Where we get our news matters, then.

Many of us may still prefer print, but that hasn’t been the dominant news source for a long time. In a 2016 survey by the Pew Research Center (the latest I could find), only 20 percent of American adults said they often get their news from printed newspapers.

Television doesn’t provide enough news, with enough context, to help us be good citizens, but for years, it was the top news source for many adults. There’s a bit of progress on that front, happily. In a survey last fall, the Pew Research Center found that the percentage of US adults who often get their news from television dropped from 57 percent in 2016 to 50 percent in 2017. And it’s older adults who turn to television for news. Only 35 percent of people 30 to 49 – and only 23 percent of those 18 to 29 – said they often get news from television.

Where are people getting their news?

You won’t be surprised at the answer: online. There are differences by age group, but you can see where we’re headed in the Pew report. Only 30 percent of people 65 and over said they often got their news online, but that had increased from 20 percent a year before.

Among people 50 to 64, 35 percent got their news online –up from 29 percent the year before.

And among people 18 to 49: 52 percent often got their news online.

A fair amount of that news is coming through social media, with Facebook, not surprisingly, leading the pack. This doesn’t mean people aren’t reading “respectable” news; social media often connect them to articles from traditional news sources – very often, newspapers.

But this is different, clearly, from picking up a newspaper and thumbing through it, or going directly to an online news site and finding an array of different articles to choose from.

And it’s no secret that much of what any of us click on online is news or opinion that reinforces what we already believe, whether it’s from a professional news organization or one of the numerous partisan email news blasts.

There’s a wealth of news available – far more than 30 years ago. But we have to look for it.

And we’re impatient.”

There’s a wealth of real news available online, far more than was available 30 years ago. That could be a powerful way to strengthen and protect our democracy. But we have to look for that information, seek out different viewpoints, read about subjects we’re not familiar with. That’s time-consuming.

And we’ve all grown more impatient, more interested in short bits of news and click-bait entertainment that masquerades as news.

That’s no way to protect a democracy.

On a related topic, a note to our print readers: Like newspapers throughout

the country, we’ve been hit with a major increase in our printing bill. The reason is a tariff the US Commerce Department is considering imposing on all newsprint coming from Canada – where much of the newspaper industry’s newsprint comes from.

Although a final ruling on the tariff isn’t expected until August, US Customs has already started collecting it, and we’re now getting higher printing bills. That’s requiring us to reduce the number of pages we publish each week.

This comes, of course, at a time when news coverage is increasingly important.

Our creative staff is investigating changes in design and other areas so we can continue to cover the areas we’re covering. Over the next several weeks, you’ll begin to see some of those changes.

It’s a work in progress, as we assess options for meeting the journalistic needs of the community. We’ll very much welcome and appreciate your comments and suggestions. rochestercitynewspaper.com

Teachers join effort to end gun violence

Friday, April 20, is the National Day of Action against Gun Violence in Schools. Rochester teachers will be meeting at the Rochester Teachers Association office that day to write letters to state and federal lawmakers, urging them to enact common-sense gun-control measures. Rochester’s teachers will be joining students and educators across the country in the mass letter-writing campaign, says RTA President Adam Urbanski.

The campaign was inspired by student survivors of the shootings at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida earlier this year.

“Anyone can participate, but teachers have an added incentive to be involved in this campaign,” says Urbanski. “They are with high concentrations of children and young people who are unaware and not expecting something like this to happen to them. We need to stop this.”

Wilt, City Council Vice President Adam McFadden, and former television journalist Rachel Barnhart.

Rochester School Board president Van White had considering running but did not file petitions by the April 12 deadline. Morelle also submitted petitions for the Working Families, Independence, and Women’s Equality Party lines.

Jim Maxwell, a neurosurgeon who lives in East Rochester, was the only Republican to file for Slaughter’s seat; he also submitted petitions for the Conservative and Reform Party lines.

Candidates could be knocked out of contention if their petitions are challenged and the Board of Elections finds that the paperwork has insufficient signatures.

The 25th District covers all of Monroe County except the towns of Hamlin, Wheatland, Rush, and Mendon, as well as part of the town of Clarkson. Those areas are part of the 27th Congressional District, which is currently held by Republican Chris Collins.

Collins has filed to run for reelection, and he could face a primary challenge from Republican Frank Smierciak II, who also filed petitions.

Grand Island Supervisor Nate McMurray is the only Democrat to file petitions for the seat. Larry Piegza, an entrepreneur from West Seneca, filed to run on the Reform Party line.

News ARTS ACTIVISM | BY JAKE CLAPP

Grassroots group plans arts series at Parcel 5

A new arts-focused, grassroots campaign wants to put a community vision for Parcel 5 into practice. The Parcel 5 Community Programmers, spearheaded by arts activist Ray Ray Mitrano, will collectively organize and fund a series of monthly events at the controversial downtown space.

The idea is to gather together a group of individual city residents and organizations, each donating $5, and together choose that month’s arts and culture event — which could be music, dance, theater, stand-up comedy, or even kiteflying, Mitrano says. Each month’s donations will go entirely to the artist or performer.

The series kicks off Sunday, April 22, during Our Land Roc’s Earth Day celebration at Parcel 5, with a performance by the jazz-hip-hop hybrid quintet Claude Bennington’s Fever Dream. The celebration, which is sponsored by a host of community housing and neighborhood groups, takes place 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.

“Instead of one billionaire putting down a bunch of money, deciding what art is for our city center,” Mitrano says, “we have a bunch of people in the city of Rochester collectively underwriting and deciding on what our arts and culture is in the heart of our city.”

Mitrano says the goal is to have 50 “community programmers” — a list will be published on Mitrano’s website for transparency — for each performance (Sunday’s event already has 54 listed contributors). The campaign isn’t simply to show what arts city residents want in the downtown space, Mitrano says, but also “how we want it and demonstrate an economic model in action.”

Future dates include May 20, June 17, and July 15. Information is available on Mitrano’s website, rayraymitrano.com, or on Facebook at facebook.com/ rayraymitranopage.

School 41 will close in June due to persistent poor performance and will reopen as a different school. Seven other city schools could face that fate. And while the district continues seeking ways to help schools improve, two more charters hope to open.

EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Rochester district faces new charter openings The Rochester Teachers Association issued a memo about two weeks ago to all of its members, informing them of a slew of job opportunities at School 41, a prekindergarten through sixth-grade school at 279 West Ridge Road in the Kodak Park neighborhood.

Under an order from State Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia, the school will close in June because of persistently low student performance and will reopen in the fall as a completely new school.

Half of the school’s teaching staff will be replaced, as will the principal, and any School 41 teacher who wants to continue to work there will have to reapply.

School 41 is the second Rochester school ordered to close; East High School, now managed by the University of Rochester’s Warner School of Education, was the first.

Seven other city schools could face that fate if their students’ performance doesn’t improve satisfactorily.

At the same time, the district faces growing competition from charter schools, which are siphoning off both students and state funding. And the State Education Department’s Charter School Office has given its initial approval to

applications for two more charters in the Rochester district.

The Academy of Health Sciences Charter School proposes opening in the 2019-2020 school year with grades 5-8 and eventually growing to a full K-12 school. Its focus: preparing students for college or a career in health sciences and STEM-related fields. Warren Hern, former president and CEO of Unity Health, is the board president.

Boys to Men Community Charter School also plans to open in the 20192020 school year, offering grades 6 to 12 and growing into a full K-12 school.

Students would be required to wear uniforms and discipline would involve alternatives to suspension, such as community service and school projects.

Darryl Porter, a former Rochester school board president, is the school’s founder, according to the application.

Like charter schools in urban districts around the country, the proposals from the Academy of Health Sciences and Boys to Men promise to give students a path out of poverty. Both applications offer elaborate explanations of how they will aggressively market their schools to poor students, conducting outreach to

Together, they are educating more than 5000 city students.

Leaders of the proposed Academy of Health Sciences and Boys to Men charters now face additional scrutiny by State Education Department officials. If they receive final approval, the district faces the prospect of losing as many as 450 students to each of the new charters during their initial five years of operation.

HIGHER EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Nazareth’s adjuncts join the labor movement It’s no secret that the cost of higher education has increased sharply during the last 30 years, and that many college graduates leave school carrying a burdensome debt. But something else has happened that’s less talked about.

The days when colleges and universities were staffed primarily with tenure-track and tenured faculty are long gone. Contingents… part-timers… contract-based… adjuncts… call them what you like, but in colleges and universities across the country, a major portion of the teaching force is now made up of people who work on a semester-tosemester, contractual basis.

They might work part-time or full-time, but either way, most of them have no benefits such as health insurance or paid time off.

They have no voice when it comes to policymaking, and they have no job security.

At some colleges, this group of contingency workers has started pushing back. After a year of planning, adjunct faculty at Nazareth College recently filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board to join Service Employees International Union, SEIU Local 200United.

It’s a significant event for Nazareth. The college relies heavily on an adjunct faculty of more than 300 teachers, who work in almost every subject area, according to union organizers. The college declined to confirm that number, but a spokesperson said that its adjunct faculty does not exceed more than a third of the total faculty per semester.

One of Nazareth’s adjuncts is Josh Massicot, who’s worked in the college’s Music and Creative Arts Department for more than 10 years. He says he’s passionate about teaching, but he’s challenged by the financial pressures that come with low-paying work.

At a rally last week in support of forming a union, he said Nazareth has failed in how it compensates and recognizes the contributions of its part-time faculty.

APRIL 18 - 24, 2018

“I receive no compensation for time outside of the classroom, no paid office hours, and no access to professional development funds,” he said. “The extra help that I provide students after class and as they prepare for internships and auditions is entirely my own uncompensated time.”

The college views him as expendable, he said, a means to balance the books.

He and his colleagues struggle with the challenge of giving the students what they need and deserve, he said.

Nazareth is certainly not alone in

its reliance on adjunct faculty. RIT has a total of 1,113 teachers, 422 of whom are adjunct.

PLASTIC PLANET WE NEED TO CHANGE THAT ENVIRONMENT | BY JEREMY MOULE

8 CITY

APRIL 18 - 24, 2018

Jacalyn Meyvis can’t pinpoint the exact moment where she decided to start reducing the amount of disposable stuff she consumed in her daily life, particularly products made from plastic. But as a big water drinker, her first step was to trade the bottled water she grabbed from store shelves for a reusable bottle filled with tap water.

Now, she buys bamboo-handled toothbrushes instead of plastic ones; she carries a bamboo flatware set in her car so she doesn’t have to resort to plastic utensils; she switched from disposable razors to a safety razor; she takes reusable bags to stores; and she uses cotton sacks in place of sandwich and snack bags.

“You just start realizing more and more all the other things you can start incorporating into your life,” says Meyvis, who lives in Webster.

Plastics are everywhere. They’re used to make everything from grocery bags and clothing to medical devices and military body armor. And there are reasons for its popularity. Plastics are comparatively inexpensive to make and work with, they’re durable, they resist harsh chemicals, and they’re lighter than other materials.

But the more pervasive they’ve become, the more troublesome they’ve become. A boom in single-use and disposable plastic products has given way to plastic pollution.

Bottles line roadsides, shopping bags flap around in trees, and cigarette butts litter beaches, parks, and sidewalks.

And scientists have found concentrations of tiny plastic particles -- microplastics and nanoplastics – in all of the Great Lakes and in the deepest reaches of the world’s largest oceans. Teams led by SUNY Fredonia chemistry professor Sam Mason have also found microplastics in tap and bottled water samples from across the world.

Researchers say these microplastics pose potentially serious risks in aquatic environments because they leach toxic chemicals into the water and get eaten or ingested by species across food webs.

“It’s hard to point to specific negative effects that they directly cause,” says Matt Hoffman, an associate professor in RIT’s School of Mathematical Science who modeled the flow of plastic pollution in the Great Lakes. “You can sort of speculate on potential impacts, but the right studies haven’t really been done yet.”

For Earth Day this year, which is April 22, the Earth Day Network is focusing on plastic pollution. The organization, which leads Earth Day campaigns and events across the world, is pushing for increased corporate responsibility around plastics and for a global framework to regulate plastic pollution. But it’s also encouraging people to cut their own use of plastics.

Meyvis is keenly aware of plastic’s omnipresence. She lives near Webster Park and has helped with waterfront cleanups there. A photographer, she’s been working with fellow photographer Arleen Thaler on “Plastics: Our Weakness,” Thaler’s ongoing documentary photography project about plastic waste.

Jacalyn Meyvis of Webster has been trying to cut down on her use of disposable products, especially those made of plastic. PHOTO BY RYAN WILLIAMSON

And the more the more plastic she sees strewn around, the more she’s determined to cut down on her own waste.

Monroe County generates 100,000 tons

of plastic waste a year, which accounts for 14 percent of the county’s everyday waste.

So says a 2010 estimate from the county government, the most recent one it has.

Most of that plastic gets thrown away and sent to landfills. That 2010 survey found that only 7.75 percent – roughly 8,000 tons – was diverted from landfills, primarily for recycling.

Those figures predate the county’s plastic recycling expansion and its implementation of single-stream recycling, both of which were expected to improve diversion rates.

But those changes may not have led to a decrease in the amount of plastic going to landfills in Monroe County. Plastic continues to be an ever-increasing part of the waste stream, says Luann Meyers, Monroe County’s solid waste coordinator. And it’s safe to say that means more plastic waste is landfill-bound, she says.

“We live in a disposable society to an extent, you know,” Meyers says. “We want things that are single use, and a lot of times, those single-use things are made out of plastic.”

Companies play a sort of shell game with many of these products. They tout that the goods are made out of recyclable plastic, but the claim ends of being truer on paper than it is in practice.

Meyers uses the example of single-use coffee pods, aka K-Cups, which have become crazy popular. They are made out of recyclable

plastic, but chucking them in the recycling bin is essentially useless, since they’re too small for the county’s sorting machines to catch. Plastic flatware has the same problem.

On the flipside, there are some easy ways to make sure more plastic gets recycled. Contrary to what a lot of people were taught in recycling’s early days, bottle caps are recyclable. They just need to be screwed on to a bottle so that the sorting machine catches them, Meyers says.

Plastic bags are also recyclable, but don’t put them in curbside bins, even if they have a number and the “chasing arrows” sign on them. They get tangled in the county’s

sorting machines, which aren’t designed to process so-called film plastics, a category that also includes the plastic wrapping on things such as paper towels.

Instead, they have to be dropped off somewhere that collects film plastic for recycling. Locally, that just means taking the stuff to Wegmans, since the grocer collects film plastic for recycling and use in its bags.

Monroe County’s Ecopark drop-off center is also collecting various film plastics, including bags. Wegmans has partnered with the county to recycle them.

Globally, more than 60 percent of the

plastics that have ever been produced have been discarded and are either sitting in landfills or accumulating in natural environments, according to a high-profile scientific study released last year. The authors were Roland Geyer from University of California Santa Barbara’s School of Environmental Science and Management; Jenna Jambeck from University of Georgia’s College of Engineering; and Kara Lavender Law of the Sea Education Association in Woods Hole, Massachusetts.

Plastic’s tendency to “accumulate in the environment,” as the authors put it, has long captured the attention of scientists and environmentalists, but now it’s starting to resonate with the general public and policy-makers. Those concerns helped push a federal ban on plastic microbeads in cosmetics and personal care products into law.

RIT’s Hoffman began building his model of plastics flows in the Great Lakes to help answer questions about whether the lakes have a garbage patch similar to the swirling mass of plastics in the Pacific Ocean. The model showed there wasn’t one, but it helped better characterize the nature of plastics pollution in the lakes.

Using the complex model, he was able to calculate that 10,000 tons of plastic enter the Great Lakes every year. And he was able to show how the plastics move around. They move from Chicago to the shores of Michigan, for example. And in Lake Ontario, they drift over to the south shore – the US side – from metropolitan Toronto.

Plastics get into the lakes and other waterways a few ways, he says. Some of it is litter that gets blown around until it lands in a stream or lake. Until they were banned, microbeads entered through municipal wastewater systems. Now, miniscule fibers from synthetic textiles are washing into the water the same way.

“It’s hard to clean,” Hoffman says, “once it gets in there. It’s hard to get out.

So it really does come down to having less of it in there in the first place.”

So what can anyone do about it? A lot, it turns out.

It helps to think about the three R’s that have been hammered into our conscious: reduce, reuse, recycle. And the folks at the Earth Day Network have two more R’s to add into the hierarchy: refuse and remove.

The best way to reduce plastic waste is avoid generating it in the first place, which is what Meyvis and others like her are trying to 10 CITY APRIL 18 - 24, 2018

do. Anyone can find ways to substitute reusable products for disposable, plastic ones. Even replacing plastic food storage bags with reusable plastic containers – which are recyclable when they are no longer usable – is an improvement.

Environmental groups in New York are pushing for the state to enact a ban on singleuse plastic shopping bags, and they could use some grassroots support. But even if political action – or a bag ban – isn’t appealing, taking reusable bags to the grocery store and using them in place of single-use bags is a very simple thing most shoppers can do. Places such as Wegmans and Target even sell reusable bags in their stores.

Activists also stress the importance of refusing needless plastic items. They suggest turning down straws or plastic utensils at restaurants and bringing your own reusable ones, for example.

Purchasing decisions also matter when it comes to reducing plastic waste.

Look for products that have less plastic packaging; buy an unbagged head of lettuce instead of a bag or plastic container of it, for example. Some grocery stores will let you bring in and use containers such as mason jars for bulk section purchases; Abundance on South Avenue encourages it. And anti-plastic pollution advocates suggest buying clothing made from natural fibers instead of garments made with polyester or nylon.

Plastics recycling is something most Monroe County residents need to do better; the county’s data show that we’re diverting a small portion of plastics out of landfills. Details on what can be put at the curb and what can be recycled at the county’s Ecopark are available at www. monroecounty.gov/ecopark.

These steps may sound like a lot, but they are entirely doable and practical. For Meyvis, replacing disposable products with reusable ones and thinking about what happens to things when she’s done with them has become a mindset that drives her forward. And she continues looking for new ways she can cut down on her waste; she likes Larabars, and she’s trying to figure out what to do about the wrappers, though she knows the ideal solution is probably to make her own granola bars.

Some of her friends are also going through the same process, so they exchange tips, ideas, and product recommendations, she says.

“I think you can go pretty far with this,” Meyvis says. “It’s a challenge, too.

It’s fun because it’s a challenge.”

Revamping Rochester hotel restaurants [ CHOW HOUND ] BY KATIE LIBBY

Hotel restaurants haven’t exactly been a destination for Rochester food enthusiasts.

If you think about it, in general, hotel restaurants have a built-in clientele that will stumble out of bed for a stale muffin at a sad continental breakfast buffet anyway — so where’s the motivation? The Hyatt Regency and (newly named) Rochester Riverside Hotel, both on East Main Street, want to change that by catering to not only hotel guests but also to those that live in the area.

Kyle Strack, the Director of Food and Beverage for Hyatt Regency Rochester, is overseeing both The Street Craft Kitchen & Bar (125 East Main Street) and Roc Burger on Main (120 East Main Street).

The concept behind The Street was inspired by the Food Truck Rodeo at the Rochester Public Market, Strack says. “To me it was a great experience to go down there and see all the global flavors come in,” he says. “The popularity of street food nowadays is huge.

Why not incorporate that into a brick and mortar concept?”

The menu at The Street is inspired by the different cultural flavors that you can find in the street food and food truck scene, and the menu also changes quarterly, just as street food is ever evolving and changing.

Right now, the menu features a fried bologna sandwich ($13) topped with barbeque onions and American cheese and served on Wonder bread. “I grew up on fried bologna,” Strack says. “It brings me back to my childhood.”

Also on the menu is a Ciopinno ($21), a classic Italian-American fish stew. The Street puts its own take on it by topping the stew — made up of mussels, clams, scallops, and root vegetables — with fried catfish.

Across the street is Roc Burger on Main in the Rochester Riverside Hotel, formerly the Rochester Radisson hotel. The hotel is currently undergoing rebranding and will see significant renovations happen over the next few years; Roc Burger on Main is part of that rebranding. The menu is choose-your-ownadventure-style, with a range of meats (and non-meat options) and toppings. Its house blend burger uses brisket, sirloin, and shortrib

($14) and can be topped with a myriad of cheeses and housemade sauces. Look for the Roc Burger ($15), which comes out with a mountain of creamy brie, fresh cracked black peppercorn, and lemon arugula on a ciabatta roll, and the Hot House Vegetable burger ($14), topped with smoked Gouda (you can choose whatever cheese you like) and a mountain of vegetables.

Roc Burger is making its own battered onion rings and there are other menu items available in case a burger isn’t your thing. And it’s Rochester, so there are obviously Buffalo wings ($12) on the menu.

“A lot of hotels are known for restaurants that are a bit stuffy at times — we didn’t want to do that,” Strack says. “We wanted to do something that would not only attract the hotel guests but people off the street, too. We wanted to make the menu approachable.”

The Street Craft Kitchen & Bar is located at the Hyatt Regency Rochester (125 East Main Street) and is open daily from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. for breakfast, and 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. for lunch and dinner. 794-4800; facebook.com/thestreetrocs.

Katboocha (97 Railroad Street) will hold its grand opening on Wednesday, April 18, 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., at the Rohrbach Beer Hall. The kombucha brewery is housed inside Rohrbach Brewing Company. Free kombucha samples will be offered and growlers and pints will be available for sale.

The first 15 people through the door will get a free growler of kombucha. More info on Facebook at facebook.com/katboocha.

Portland, Maine’s Bissell Brothers Brewing Company will do a tap take over at Tap and Mallet (381 Gregory Street) on Saturday, April 21, from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Ten different selections from the brewery will be available, including the Swish Double IPA and Precept GermanStyle Pilsner. For more, look for the event through facebook.com/tapandmallet.

Black Button Distilling and Rohrbach Brewing Company will host Public Market Earth Day Spring Clean on Sunday, April 22, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Participants will meet at 85 Railroad Street and receive a trash bag and grabber (make sure to wear gloves) to help clean up the winter trash that has accumulated at the Public Market. And because there’s almost nothing better than a cold beverage after picking up other people’s garbage all day, participants will also receive complimentary drink coupons for Black Button and Rohrbach. Sign up to participate at blackbuttondistilling.com/rochester-events/.

The first annual Eat Up Rochester event will take place Monday, April 23, through Sunday, April 29, at various locations in the city. Participating restaurants will offer fixed price menus ranging from $20 for brunch to $40 for dinner. No tickets are necessary, but reservations are encouraged. Participating restaurants include Roam Café, Tavern at Gibbs, Morton’s Steakhouse, Bitter Honey, and more. Information can be found at eatuproc.com.

Lighthearted and a whole lot of goofy is what smacks the listener in the mug during the initial spin of The Bicycats’ “Don’t Be Surprised When You See Us Bears.” The band is essentially Rochester expat Zachary Bernstein, now living and writing in Los Angeles, with assorted musicians. Bernstein has been spending his time writing for stage and screen, so this is the first Bicycats album since 2008’s “How Could You?” “Don’t Be Surprised When You See Us Bears” shows Bernstein hasn’t lost his gift for making intuitive oddball observations with a poppy afterglow. “I feel like a stick of butter melting in the microwave when I’ve got my eye on you” he sings on the bossa nova-tinged number “Eye On You.” And he taps nicely into a Tin Pan Alley shuffle and bump with “The Foremost Kisser,” where he intones “I’ll never be an adjective, but I’ll always be a noun” — a noun that wrote a new national anthem, “My Home America,” included here with the other 10 tracks.

“Letters” Self-released garylamaar.bandcamp.com

POP/ROCK

Acid Mothers Temple. Bug

Hip-hop generally uses vocal patterns that find themselves thrust upon our consciousness by its driving, underlying, and in most cases, unrelenting beat. This internal beat, and the bed of music where it resides, helps drive home the message, whatever it may be. Rochester musician Gary Lamaar deftly applies this with mellow ease on his new CD, “Letters.” The beat goes on.

“Letters” is more along the lines of a spoken word album with jazzy overtones and a pronounced ultracool chill-effect. Lamaar still compacts his rhymes into a space made for typically longer diatribes and explorations. With the mellow mood set by the backing tracks, it’s easier to pick up on Lamaar’s message as various lines slip and slide to the forefront of these eight racks — missives as Lamaar describes them — creating a desired mood. To the listener this is like candy coating the message to give them what they really need, whether they know they need it or not. Hell, I needed it. Some of these missives come as a shared prayer, others seem to tag team ears with the music’s cocktail of recline and cool. Ahhh. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Service, sacrifice and love

Mary Gauthier

hates war more than a soldier. The experience is transformative for both the songwriter and the veteran, and this work saves lives. The process is deeply therapeutic, but it’s not therapy. It is the making of art. I decided about a year ago that I wanted these songs to go out into the world so more people could hear them.

TUESDAY, APRIL 24 LOVIN’ CUP, 300 PARK POINT DRIVE 8 P.M.| $20-$25 | LOVINCUP.COM; MARYGAUTHIER.COM [ INTERVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE

Every track on Mary Gauthier’s new album, “Rifles & Rosary Beads,” is a gut-punch.

The album is rife with the sound of genuine heartache. And while this singer-songwriter has an amazing grasp of the darkness that we are all susceptible to and the inevitable yet elusive light on the other side, she didn’t cut this platter alone.

“Rifles & Rosary Beads” is a collection of songs written in collaboration with military veterans, giving them a voice to be heard above the rhetoric and lip service.

Gauthier has led a storied life herself: As a teenage runaway, she abused drugs and alcohol and tangled with authority — she spent her 18th birthday in jail. She also ran a popular Cajun restaurant in Boston. It’s strange, but Gauthier, now a prolific songwriter at 56, didn’t write her first song until she was 35. She has released 10 albums since then and is on everybody’s hit list for the dark redemption that she weaves throughout her music.

Her presence is arresting and magnetic, reflective of a fully realized life. Just grab a listen to anything from Gauthier’s discography and you’ll hear both sides of life: how she sees it and how it really is.

Gauthier took a moment out of her day to answer some questions. She was charming and direct; she has a beautiful soul. An edited transcript follows.

CITY: What’s more dangerous: rifles or rosary beads?

Mary Gauthier: I have no idea. But it’s a damn

good question.

Tell us a bit about Songwriting With Soldiers.

Mary Gauthier says the Songwriting with Soldiers program is therapeutic, but it isn’t therapy.

Over the last four years, I’ve been writing songs with members of the military and their families through the Songwriting With Soldiers program, a non-profit organization that pairs veterans with professional songwriters. Veterans’ songs inevitably end up as prayers for peace. No one

PRESE

Has today’s political climate changed its importance?

The current political climate, the divisiveness, makes the songs all the more important, because I believe these songs help civilians get to know what some of our soldiers are feeling today.

How has it impacted you as a songwriter?

It has changed me. The brave women and men I have met and worked with have taught me the deeper meaning of service, sacrifice, and love.

What’s your favorite song on the new album and why?

Each one of these songs is a person to me — my co-writers are all veterans who I have grown very fond of. I could never pick a favorite. Each has their own story, and every one of their stories matter.

I read somewhere that your “Mercy Now” is considered by some to be the saddest country song ever. How do you feel about that?

Rolling Stone said that. But “Mercy Now” is not a sad song. Also, it’s not a country song. So I guess that’s how I feel about it.

Woody Guthrie’s guitar killed fascists. What does yours kill?

Hopefully, my guitar kills stereotypes.

How does your new album stand with your other releases?

It’s the most collaborative record I have ever been a part of, and I am very proud of it. Time will tell how it ranks. If people are still listening to these songs in 50 years, then they will have stood the test of time.

What are you most proud of?

I am proud that I’ve been able to keep this music thing going for 10 records and 20 years, and stay clean and sober in the process.

HomeWork A cooperative effort of City Newspaper and RochesterCityLiving, a program of the Landmark Society.

Special house seeks special owner 2210 Saint Paul Street If you head north from downtown, to the corner of St. Paul St. and Collingwood Dr., a special Tudor Revival home sits at the southeast corner, in a state of flux, awaiting its next owners. Built in 1925-26, 2210 St. Paul Street is a special treat, with a Tudor Revival exterior, an Arts and Crafts interior, lots of historic character, and a special situation.

A waterfall staircase, with original balustrade, spills out into the middle of the room, creating a dramatic portal to the second floor. Beyond the stairs is the dining room, off of which is a glorious sunroom. The kitchen needs a complete re-do but is a good size and has a cozy breakfast nook. The remaining rooms on the first floor need significant work.

The home is a Federal Housing Administration (FHA) foreclosure and is being sold by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). While it possesses a wealth of architectural details, it is a definite fixer-upper. It will require a substantial investment and expertise to bring it back to its former glory (it was virtually untouched just ten years ago) but, with the right buyer, it has plenty of potential.

On the second floor, you’ll find three bedrooms and a sizeable full bath. Carpeting needs to be removed and the hardwoods need refinishing and selective replacement.

The bathroom boasts original hexagonal floor tiles and subway tile.

The original owners were Dr. Alfred and Elizabeth Cassabeer. Dr. Cassabeer operated an apothecary out of the home, thus you’ll find some unusual extra rooms and entrances on the south side of the house. Inside the front entrance is a large tiled vestibule. To the left, the jaw-dropping expanse of the living room, foyer, and dining room opens up before you.

Hardwood floors, original wood and leaded glass windows, and unpainted woodwork will immediately have you hooked. The fireplace is set within a cozy inglenook, flanked by built-in shelves and set off from the rest of the room by a pair of heavy columns. An original painted frieze remains intact over the mantle.

As recently as ten years ago, the basement retained a historic billiards room with painted friezes and extensive woodwork. Much of those details have been removed although a cobblestone fireplace remains.

The property has a tidy backyard that connects to a two-car garage. It is located in the 14621 neighborhood, with the Frederick Law Olmsted-designed Seneca Park across the street and the El Camino Trail behind it.

The house has 2,714 square feet. Although it is listed for only $87,000, it will require significant investment. All offers must be submitted as sealed bids by Thursday, April 12th. Contact Jennifer Isaac (585-749-4426) with Howard Hanna Real Estate Services for more information.

DOOM METAL | THE SKULL

Arising from the ashes of Chicago metal mavens Trouble, The Skull takes metal from creepy heights to a slow apocalyptic grind. I’m not positive but it sounds like there’s some drop-tuning going on here mixed in with the solid push and pull of the band’s dynamic material. The vocals are mesmerizing and riveting. Relentless and a little foreboding. It might remind you of Sabbath in low gear.

The Skull plays Wednesday, April 18, at the Montage Music Hall, 50 Chestnut Street. 7 p.m. $15-$18. themontagemusichall.com; theskullusa.com.

American horror stories “Federico Solmi: The Good Samaritans” THROUGH MAY 12 ROCHESTER CONTEMPORARY, 137 EAST AVENUE WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY, 1 P.M. TO 5 P.M.; FRIDAY, 1 P.M. TO 9 P.M. $2 | 461-2222; ROCHESTERCONTEMPORARY.ORG; FEDERICOSOLMI.COM [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

The current exhibit at Rochester Contemporary puts viewers in the same deer-in-headlights state that the political spectacle has had us in as of late. Italianborn, New York City-based artist Federico Solmi’s overwhelming video paintings depict powerful world leaders and historical figures on parade, debaucherously reveling, and accepting adulation from the worshipful masses they’ve conquered.

There’s an all-too familiar element of celebrity in their treatment, and an equally familiar vacant adoration in the faces of the crowds. But the narratives presented in “The Good Samaritans” are filled with falsehoods and farce, a fact initially obscured by Solmi’s bombastic, horrifying aesthetic.

A streaky texture of garishly saturated colors coats everything in Solmi’s work, flickering and shifting slightly, creating a nervous jumping motion as the figures move through space. Although it sort of 20 CITY APRIL 18 - 24, 2018

resembles stop-motion animation, it’s not. RoCo Executive Director Bleu Cease explains that each element in the scenes is hand-painted, from the figures themselves to the streaming American flags, wine glasses at a lavish banquet, or the ships bearing cackling conquistadors.

“Then those paintings are scanned, in multiple versions, and wrapped around a 3D environment and animated through gaming engines,” Cease says. “It’s laborious.”

Time and history are collapsed within the hand-painted, crest- and seal-spangled frames that enclose Solmi’s video screens. Visitors first encounter a work titled “The Loving Trickster,” which shows Donald Trump flanked by Benito Mussolini and Otto von Bismarck, sucking on cigars and arriving via limousine for the inaugural ball at the White House. While the fiction is obvious, the vision of soulless demagogues past and present keeping company is on point.

“It’s all this incredible anachronism, just mashing together all these different figments of inaccurate and accurate history,” Cease says of Solmi’s work. “And it starts from this irreverent, punk rock kind of vibe he has.

He’s critical about the way history is taught, thought about, and whitewashed. And he’s super critical of power and authority. So in a very simplified way, he’s saying, ‘OK, you’re going to whitewash what George Washington was all about. You’re not going to look at the nuance of what he was. I’ll raise that lie with a tenfold lie. I’m gonna have Washington drunk-dancing, with Julius Caesar passed out on the table.’”

& Costco & my mother in Costco considering a lobster & a year or so in Texas & I was born here but grew up there & I grew up there but was born of soup, both mung bean & primordial

Solmi is an outsider artist: he never went to college yet he’s significantly self-taught.

He moved from Italy to the US at 25 to make it in the art world in Manhattan, and now he teaches at Yale University. His work has been widely exhibited and screened at galleries, art centers, and festivals around the world, and his star keeps rising — he’s currently working on a major piece for the new Kansas City Biennial and recently gained representation at Ronald Feldman Gallery in NYC. The body of work is maximal and grotesque and off-putting, but at the same time viewers can’t look away, Cease says. “There’s a complex push-pull and a cinematic character to them. They pull you in, they’re transfixing. And then you realize what you’re looking at. There’s an implication, for sure, it’s not just skewering the powerful leader, it’s also pulling us in and then we realize, ‘Oh wait, we’re really just sitting back watching this happen.’”

The viewers are placed inside the chaos, given the perspective familiar from firstperson shooter video games, and in a way are complicit in the scene; we’re passive actors in the satirical dystopia.

Solmi’s soundtracks are a combination of bombastic, parade pomp and cheering crowds, and the tone and pacing of the music also indicates that something is off.

“It puts you on edge,” Cease says. “But you keep watching and you go back for more — it’s gluttony on our part also.”

An extended version of this review is online at rochestercitynewspaper.com.

& in the future when I’m writing this, I’ll be back in Texas, where some will say, Welcome back, some, Go back, & now it’s time to get out of the taxi, begin to walk back to the dorms.

Walking, you whisper lines from the Dao De Jing, from the latest pop song. In lamplight, you soft-sing to a tall audience of trees. You’re in touch with The Way, the wants of boys flaunting such innovative hair. & the trees give off a silvery smell that’s become your entire summer. You walk slowly. You want, you try to ask the smell what these trees are called.

FILM | ‘LAST LIGHT OF A DYING STAR’ Filmmaker, curator, and Ohio State University professor Roger Beebe’s experimental film projection performances draw from found images and blend levity and gravitas as they grapple with American capitalism’s late stages. His work tackles a wide range of subject matter, from exploring the materiality of film to Las Vegas suicides and the forbidden pleasures of men crying. Beebe will be in town this week to present a program of his performances on multiple 16mm projectors. Hosted by Visual Studies Workshop, the event will feature Beebe’s recent award-winning work and some of his best-known past pieces, and will close with his acclaimed six-projector performance, “Last Light of a Dying Star.”

Beebe will present “Last Light of a Dying Star” on Thursday, April 19, at Visual Studies Workshop, 31 Prince Street. 7 p.m. $5; free to VSW members. 442-8676; vsw.org.

LECTURE | ‘HOW TO BE AN ANTIRACIST’

Tuesday - Sunday from 11am 58 University Ave • Reservations: 414-4352 • tavernatgibbs.com

Historian, author, and American University Professor Dr. Ibram X. Kendi argues that ignorance and hate aren’t what informs racist policies, but that it’s the policies — created out of economic and political self-interest — that influence and encourage racist attitudes. He also maintains that we need to better understand and stand against these policies that pervade our systems. Kendi came to town last fall to discuss his brick of a book, “Stamped From the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America,” which won the 2016 National Book Award for Nonfiction.

He returns to Rochester this week to deliver his talk, “How to Be An Antiracist,” as St. John Fisher College’s 2018 Lobene Lecture in the Humanities.

The lecture takes place Friday, April 20, in Clearly Auditorium at St. John Fisher College, 3690 East Avenue. 5 p.m.

One Take takes two [ PREVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

After a successful first year, the team behind the One Take Film Festival has no intention of falling prey to the sophomore slump.

They’ve added new venues and partnerships to turn the celebration of documentary filmmaking into four packed days of great movies, music, cocktails, and conversation.

Held this Thursday through Sunday (April 19-22), the festival is an extension of the fantastic year-round One Take Documentary film series, and just like that series, it’s dedicated to bringing the best nonfiction films to local audiences. Programmers Linda Moroney and Bri Merkel have spent the past year searching for the kind of thoughtprovoking documentary films One Take has become known for. And the duo are excited to bring those films to Rochester, cultivating an exciting atmosphere for film lovers eager to broaden their horizons.

While the festival maintains a regular home at the Little Theatre, this year adds the Dryden Theatre to the fold, screening the highly-acclaimed “Ex Libris,” from iconic director Frederick Wiseman. The festival will also see the return of the well-received VR Garden, offering a chance for attendees to strap on goggles and view immersive nonfiction films in virtual space. There’s also 26 CITY APRIL 18 - 24, 2018

the One Take Film Festival House Band, Guy Higgins and Friends, playing unique pre-film sets of themed music to set the mood.

Attendees can stick around after the evening screenings to chat about the movies and sip specialty cocktails, courtesy of festival’s brand-new partnership with the Rochester Cocktail Revival, which will bring DJs and guest bartenders right to the Little Cafe.

“We worked really hard on curating a festival that allows you to see some great films, but also have fun,” Moroney says. “There’s music and fancy cocktails, but you’re also learning, growing, and expanding your worldview.”

This year’s lineup will present a collection of films with much to say about America at this particular moment, and also how the issues currently facing our nation reflect and connect us with the rest of the world. Many of the films reinforce the festival’s commitment to building a sense of community and finding local connections whenever possible.

“There were so many great conversations happening before and after our films last year,” Merkel says. “That element of community is really strong in our festival, and I really hope that people will come and give these films a try because you’ll be seeing stories that we can all relate to. And the discussion doesn’t end when the credits roll.”

Back in 2016, Irish filmmakers John Murphy and Traolach Ó Murchú spent six months in Rochester interviewing a few of our city’s many photographers — from hobbyists to professionals — about their personal relationship to their chosen medium. The resulting film, “Photo City” offers a fascinating look at Rochester’s history as “the image capital of the world” and what that legacy looks like today. Talking with former Kodak employees, historians at the Eastman Museum, and artists (including CITY’s own Frank De Blase) reveals a city with a rich history, an intense love, and a deep need for the visual art form. Both showings will also feature a post-screening Q&A with directors John Murphy and Traolach Ó Murchú. (Thursday, April 19, 6:30 p.m. with an encore screening on Saturday, April 21, 1:15 p.m.)

The vital “12th and Clairmount” powerfully chronicles the Detroit riots of July 1967.

Director and Editor Brian Kaufman lends his journalistic eye, foregoing traditional talking heads to weave a complex narrative exclusively through archival footage, illustration, and voiceovers that meld contemporary interviews, oral histories, radio broadcasts, and dispatch recordings, giving necessary context to a revolution.

It’s a sobering, maddening, and sadly still timely tale. It’s also one with many similarities to the upheaval Rochester experienced during the summer of 1964. A conversation with Kaufman will follow the screening. (Friday, April 20, 6:30 p.m.)

“Unfractured” follows biologist and environmentalist Sandra Steingraber in her determined efforts to get fracking banned in New York State. It’s a battle that takes her from Albany all the way to Romania, but along the way she sometimes struggles to balance her life of activism with being there for her children and husband, who we see hospitalized at Strong Memorial after he suffered a series of strokes.

Despite the obstacles, the film becomes an inspiring story about the too-often unsung activists around us who are fighting every day to make a difference. Both director Chanda Chevannes and Sandra Steingraber will be in attendance for the screening. (Sunday, April 22, 6:30 p.m.)
