Water, lakes, and the IJC

On Urban Journal’s “The Water’s Everywhere — Not Solely in Our Lake”: I believe every person

living on the lake shore has a clear understanding of the fact that the water will rise when it rains and when the snow melts. However, the expectation is also that the water will lower when we have a drought, hot weather, no rain. Unfortunately, this has not been allowed to happen, and that is why when it rains in April (as it always does!), we have to suffer the consequences of water destroying our property. Imagine if you purchased a lovely home on a huge lot with a little creek running through the back end of it. When you purchase it, you know there is a creek. You know the creek will rise in the spring. But you believe that creek will go back to its smaller size in the fall, right? But suppose one of your neighbors decides to build a dam to create a big swimming hole for the neighborhood, and that allows the creek to come up to the foundation of your home. Now all the neighborhood kids are enjoying a wonderful swimming pool and you’re wondering why it’s allowed to happen on your land. As a lakefront property owner, that is how I feel. I knew when I bought my 2 CITY

property that the water would rise and the water would fall. I also did my research and saw that there was a commitment or promise in place that the levels of the lake would not be allowed to go over a certain height. Not the height that God terminated but the height that man determined when he damned up so much water, as you stated, from all of the Great Lakes. But I believed and trusted that they would keep their word. Therefore I built a house with plenty of room to ensure that I would not be at risk of flooding. But now someone has changed this agreement. I didn’t get to have anything to say about it, but my home is being destroyed by it. The State of New York or the federal government needs to approach each of us lakeshore property owners and offer us market value for our homes. I believe we would take that deal and let you flood this property, as you seem to want to. I would be happy to get away from the stress of sandbagging, breakwall building, and constantly worrying about future destruction. Until someone would like to purchase my property, I would like them to stop destroying it!

I read and appreciated your article on lake levels and the International Joint Commission. I’m trying to keep the water “at bay” for a building that has been in my family for nearly 50 years and that houses five families here on the island of Montreal. The building is on Lac St. Louis in Sainte Anne De Bellevue, Québec, at the very tip of the west end of the Island of Montreal. It is where Lac St. Louis (St. Lawrence - Lake Ontario the Great Lakes) and Lake of Two Mountains (the Ottawa River) all converge. I don’t know how much of eastern North America drains around the Island of Montreal, but certainly a significant portion. So this time of year, and now for the second out of the last three, we are very concerned. I have been very fortunate but my immediate neighbors and many others not so much. I also realize that both upstream and downstream, people are being dislocated and their lives and dreams are in upheaval. Our geography links us together on this issue, and it’s only by all of us contributing together that we will be able to mitigate the consequences of climate change.

I think what is missing is the amount of water that is released in the fall. They used to let more water out, but the last three years they have been keeping the water at a higher level over the fall and winter months. The lake starts higher, Montreal starts flooding, outflow is reduced, and the lake starts flooding. What we are hoping for is to keep that fall lake level low (like it was historically). JEFF SULLIVAN, GREECE

The May 8 Urban Journal about the “regulation” of Lake Ontario’s levels raises some interesting questions and issues. I am sorry, however, that you chose to end it by raising political issues, which have no place in the discussion. I am also sorry that Governor Cuomo feels the need to follow the lead of the president in attacking the International Joint Commission. It’s a shame that the attacks have been so personal. Finger pointing and scapegoating won’t solve this problem. Politics is full of promises; nature is full of realities which follow natural, not man-made rules. The IJC (appointees representing the Great Lakes States and Provinces as well as the United

States and Canada) was originally formed when the construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway and Saunders Dam created the possibility of regulating lake levels. However, the actual regulation of lake levels belongs to natural forces. Especially during persistent high rainfall and snow melt in the Great Lakes watershed (far bigger in area than the lakes themselves), all the lakes, but especially Ontario, cannot be controlled in any meaningful or economically feasible way. All those cottage owners, water-related businesses, enterprises that rely on the lake as scenery, and homeowners who believed that Lake Ontario’s levels could be artificially contained by any of the plans put forward by the IJC, have found they were sadly mistaken. My view is that the IJC never should have implied that they could control Ontario’s levels; they should have been more humble. So when planning and building lakeside developments, the builders should have exercised more caution. They were trying to erect “permanent” structures in one of the most dynamic and destructive ecosystems on the face of the earth. It’s a little late for that advice, but when the incautious get flooded (or burned or blown away), it’s a mistake to blame anyone but Nature, and good luck getting made whole by Her.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Adults fail on gun control; children pay the price Kendrick Castillo’s death in the Colorado high school shooting last week was national news – for a few days. And then it was replaced by other stories. Trump and McGhan. Iran and North Korea. China and the trade war. A week earlier, the deaths of Ellis Parlier and Riley Howell at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte were also national news, briefly. The New York Times quoted a tweet from sophomore Tristan Field, who had witnessed the shooting: “Why here? Why today? Why UNC Charlotte? Why my classroom? What did we do?” Heartbreaking. And still we refuse to pass sensible gun-control laws. In my home state of Tennessee, you don’t need a permit or any kind of training to keep a gun at home. You need a permit if you’re going to carry a gun around outside, on your person, but you can keep it in your home without a permit – loaded or unloaded. You can keep also keep it in your car, and thousands of Tennesseans are are driving around with guns in their cars, ready to shoot whenever they think there’s a threat. (They’re also leaving their cars unlocked. Whereupon, presumably to nobody’s surprise, thieves are stealing the guns. In Nashville last year, according to NPR’s Morning Edition, 659 guns were reported stolen from vehicles. In Memphis, the figure was almost 1300.) We’re making more and more guns available, and losing more and more people to the violence they cause. In Colorado, Kendrick Castillo and two other students had tackled the teenager who is accused in the shooting, one of them holding him down until police arrived. In Charlotte, Riley Howell had done the same. Both Kendrick and Riley died protecting their classmates. “Riley was deservedly given a hero’s funeral,” wrote the Times’ Nicholas Kristof last week, “and presumably the same will happen with Kendrick. But their parents didn’t want martyrs; they wanted children and grandchildren. And it is appalling that we as a society have abandoned American kids so that they must die to save their classmates.” Students protecting students: This has become a horrifying part of the story of

Students protecting students: This has become a horrifying part of the story of this country’s gun violence.” this country’s gun violence, and I’m still haunted by a segment from NPR’s “Story Corps” series from last year. In it, Houston resident Tanai Bernard asked her 10-yearold son Dezmond Floyd to describe an active-shooter drill at his school. The class “is supposed to stand on the back wall,” Dezmond said, but he stood in front of the class instead, “because I want to take the bullet and save my friends.” “My life matters,” Dezmond told his mother, “but, it’s kind of like, there’s one person that can come home to the family or there can be 22 people that come home to a family.” That’s how one of this country’s 10-year-olds is having to think. Following the arrest of the student accused of murder in the North Carolina shooting earlier this month, the student’s grandfather, Paul Rold, talked to the New York Times. “I want people to know that guns are too accessible,” Rold said. “It could have been averted,” he told the Times. “Our legislators have to value human life more than they do re-election.” But since our legislators won’t act, we’re leaving it to our children to protect each other. And then we shed tears over the stories of children’s courage. It is easier to do that, apparently, than to summon our own courage and pass guncontrol laws to protect them.

[ NEWS IN BRIEF ]

RHA former chief is indicted

A federal grand jury has indicted George Moses, the former board chair of the Rochester Housing Authority, on two counts of making false statements to the FBI. He was arraigned on Friday and pleaded not guilty to the charges. According to the indictment and a previously filed complaint announced last fall, the charges are connected to a contract between Rochester Housing Charities, which is an affiliated nonprofit created by the Rochester Housing Authority, and another company, Capital Connection Partners LLC. Capital Connection Partners would ultimately subcontract its work to Caesar Development LLC, a company owned by former Rochester City Councilman Adam McFadden. The US Attorney’s Office says that during an investigation into the contracts, the FBI interviewed Moses, and he is accused of making false statements. Adam McFadden pleaded guilty in April to federal charges including a count of wire fraud and a violation regarding filing a false tax return. McFadden will be sentenced in June. – Randy Gorbman, WXXI News.

RPO losing Stare in two years

Ward Stare will be stepping down from his position as music director of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra when his contract expires at the end of the summer of 2021. Stare announced his decision to the board late last week, and to the musicians on Monday. He will continue to lead the orchestra through its next two seasons. Stare will have led the RPO for seven years, a tenure that only five other music directors in the 97-year history of the Philharmonic have reached. When he took the job in 2014, Stare, who is now 36, was the RPO’s youngest-ever music director. The orchestra’s musicians will be included in the process of assembling a search committee to find Stare’s successor, said RPO president and CEO Curt Long. Long also said that the continuation of the orchestra’s concert opera series is likely, while acknowledging the new music director’s opportunity to establish his or her own artistic goals. – Randy Gorbman, WXXI News; Daniel J.

The Rochester school board has selected Terry Dade as the next superintendent of the Rochester City School District. Dade is currently an assistant superintendent for the Fairfax County Public Schools in Falls Church, Virginia, a district with 180,000 students. He’ll start work on July 1. In Virginia, he is responsible for coaching and evaluating principals and implementing school improvement plans in a part of the district that serves 37,000 students, according to information provided by the Rochester district. Dade has spent much of his career working in the Washington, DC, area. He was a principal in the District of Columbia school system, where he served under then-Chancellor Michelle Rhee, the controversial education reform advocate. For the Rochester position, the school board chose Dade over three other finalists: Devon Horton, Sito Narcisse, and George Eric Thomas,. All four candidates appeared at a public forum the school board held earlier this month. At the forum, Dade said he was particularly impressed by Rochester’s

excellent pre-kindergarten program, but he said he also was struck by the low reading proficiency levels of Rochester’s second graders. Addressing that problem would be a priority, he said. He said he would insist on a common, consistently implemented district-wide curriculum, because Rochester students change schools often, which puts them at risk of falling behind. Dade has master’s degrees from Trinity University in school administration and another from the University of Virginia in elementary education. He says he will receive his doctorate in education policy from Virginia Tech this month. Mayor Lovely Warren has been calling for governance change in the school district. “We have switched leaders before,” Warren said after news of Dade’s selection broke, “and I’m not confident that by switching leaders we will change the outcomes for our children. The bottom line is we have a system that is in crisis and the system needs to change.” WXXI’s James Brown contributed to the reporting of this article.

At a State Assembly hearing, about two dozen people offered testimony about the problems that housing tenants are facing. And many speakers backed the statewide expansion of laws that already exist in New York City, particularly rent regulation and good-cause eviction laws.

HOUSING | BY JEREMY MOULE

Speakers at hearing call for tenant protections Speaker after speaker at a State Assembly hearing on housing issues on Friday had one message: New York tenants of all types and in all locations need stronger protections. The hearing, in the Monroe County Legislature’s chambers at the County Office Building, was one of three held around the state. About two dozen people offered testimony regarding their own circumstances or, in the case of some attorneys or advocacy group representatives, about the problems faced by people they work with. And many speakers backed the statewide expansion of laws that already exist in New York City, particularly rent regulation and good-cause eviction laws. The hearing’s panel, led by Assembly Housing Committee chair Steven Cymbrowitz, also included Rochester region members Harry Bronson and Jamie Romeo, who are Democrats, as well as Mark Johns and Marjorie Byrnes, who are Republicans. Tiara Tazell, an employee at Strong hospital and a Monroe Community College student, provided an example of the rent burden many Rochester tenants face. She lives with her children in the 19th Ward and pays over half of her

income for a three-bedroom apartment. She could find a cheaper place but it would be farther from her job. She also noted that the house she lives in last sold for $53,000. In response, Johns said that what seems to keep many lower-income people from owning homes is saving for a down-payment and closing costs. The state and federal governments should be helping in these circumstances, Johns said, and he asked Tazell whether a mortgage would be cheaper than her rent; it would, she said. Members of the Akron Mobile Home Park Tenants Association shared their well-publicized conflict with their park’s new owner, Sunrise Capital Investors. The company is jacking up land rents and has ended maintenance services that had been available to the park’s mobile home owners. The speakers noted that investment firms are using similar tactics at mobile and manufactured home parks across the United States. The Akron Association members spoke in support of broad tenant protections, but specifically backed a bill that would give mobile and manufactured home tenants the right of first refusal when a sale is on the table.

One Rochester resident said in his testimony that the building he lived in was bought by a new landlord, who informed all residents they could no longer stay in their apartments. Ultimately, after pressure from tenants and housing activists, the landlord agreed to resettle some of the residents in other properties the company owns while allowing others Activists outside of the Monroe County Office Building demonstrated prior to a state Assembly hearing on rental housing more time to search for and tenant protections. a new apartment.

SUSTAINABILITY | BY JEREMY MOULE

Getting schooled in clean energy Big institutions can flex a lot of muscle when it comes to buying energy, since they use a lot of it. They can solicit bids or negotiate with suppliers to get lower prices. And they can use their influence and buying power to promote renewable energy development, a practice that has become common for operations as disparate as factories and hospitals. And leaders of the statewide SUNY system, the largest higher education system in the country, want to use their institutional level to, as they frame it, lead on climate action through ramped-up energy efficiency projects and renewable energy use and development. SUNY’s 64 campuses include community colleges and research universities. Officials with SUNY and several state energy agencies have developed a Clean Energy Roadmap for state colleges and universities. As part of the plan, the campuses are expected to: • Get all of their electricity from renewables and energy storage; • Cut greenhouse gas emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels, and to do it by 2030; • Evaluate whether any new buildings can be built to meet net-zero carbon emissions standards; • Extensively retrofit existing buildings with updated equipment and make them far more energy efficient; • Provide students with training relevant to the clean energy workforce. Those goals may sound lofty, but some campuses are already close. For example, The College at Brockport is already getting almost all of its electricity from renewable sources, says Kevin Rice, director of the physical plant at the school and its energy manager. The college’s account manager at National Grid, the utility company that serves the campus, has told him that the customers in this end of Upstate get most of their power from the hydroelectric generators in Niagara Falls. “Really, the entire system has been working on it for a few years now,” Rice says. The college also has solar arrays on top of two buildings, though the systems don’t produce enough power to meet all of those buildings’ needs, Rice says. “We are constantly looking at what we can do with solar,” he says. Monroe Community College officials are

waiting for further information from SUNY headquarters to determine how it can be part of the initiative, says spokesperson Cynthia Cooper Mapes. But the school has been making energy saving efforts big and small.

When MCC bought a cluster of buildings from Kodak and renovated them for MCC’s new downtown campus, they built the facility to LEED Gold standards. Several Brighton campus buildings have also been built or renovated to meet LEED Gold standards: the Performing Arts Center, Gleason Hall of Science and Technology, and a building that houses public safety, facilities, and purchasing offices. The Louis S. and Molly B. Wolk Center for Excellence in Nursing was built to LEED Silver standards. The LEED standards are construction and building performance benchmarks that incorporate criteria such as energy efficiency, storm-water management, and proximity to mass transit. They’re developed and overseen by the US Green Building Council. Monroe Community College is also updating older lighting fixtures to LED technology as part of ongoing classroom and office renovations, Cooper Mapes says. “On capital projects, it is now the standard to install only LED lighting,” she says. The school also provides electric vehicle charging stations for student and employee use.

There are six stations at the Brighton campus and two at the Applied Technologies Center on West Henrietta Road. Four chargers will be installed at the downtown campus this summer, Cooper Mapes says. Students and employees currently don’t have to pay to use the chargers, she says. In terms of education, MCC has a sustainability associate’s degree program and certificate programs in solar thermal technology as well as sustainability. Brockport has a very thorough approach for

slashing its energy use, which reflects the kind of mindset the SUNY Clean Energy Roadmap calls for. One of the college’s programs, in fact, is used as an example in Roadmap document. The College at Brockport received a $400,000 state grant last summer to test a “real-time energy management” training program for the college’s plant engineering staff, Rice says. The school has a complex energy management system that collects more than 20,000 data points across the campus, all of which are monitored by computers. Staff can

see everything from how efficiently a pump is working to whether a building fan is on or off, and they can make constant adjustments, Rice says. This past fall and winter, 16 Brockport staff members received intensive training on the system. The state is watching Brockport’s program because it’s interested in rolling it out to other departments, he says. Over the last few years, The College at Brockport has also systematically replaced existing building systems with high-efficiency equipment. Natural gas-powered boilers and electric-powered chillers have been swapped out for better performing equipment, and the pumps that move heated or chilled water through buildings have been replaced with variable-speed drives, which offer greater control over heating and cooling. The campus has “hundreds and hundreds” of electric motors that power exhaust fans small and large, Rice says, and it’s been replacing them with high-efficiency ones. And crews have replaced all manner of older light fixtures – including street and parking lot lamps – with LEDs.

The College at Brockport will also install eight electric vehicle charging ports over the next couple of months, Rice says. The chargers will be available to staff and students, and there will be a minimal fee to use them, Rice says. System-wide, SUNY has decreased its

greenhouse gas emissions by 25 percent in the last decade, according to a press release sent out last week regarding its Clean Energy Road Map. It’s ramping up efforts in light of new state renewable energy and energy efficiency requirements which require, among other

things, that the state’s utilities get 70 percent of their electricity from renewables by 2030. As the largest higher ed system in the US, “we have a responsibility to lead and be an example of how to reduce our carbon footprint by adopting innovative energy efficiency and renewable energy technology,” SUNY chancellor Kristina Johnson said in the press release. Soon, The College at Brockport will start work in four of its buildings to replace fluorescent lights to LED fixtures. It’ll be a $474,000 project, though National Grid is covering $97,000 of the costs, Rice says.

The college and the utility have worked up some numbers to show what impact the upgrades will have, and in doing that, they’ve demonstrated just how meaningful straightforward building performance projects can be. The efficiency gains from the project will mean a reduction in campus carbon emissions by an estimated 812,400 pounds a year. That’s roughly equivalent to the emissions of 78 cars. The new fixtures will also save an estimated 738,558 kilowatt hours of electricity annually, equivalent to the yearly electricity consumption of 63 average homes.

The upgrades will pay for themselves in eight years, and will last more than three decades, if not longer, Rice says. Rice says he’s happy to have a role in the efforts. He likens the energy efficiency and clean energy efforts to planting a tree: It’s not something you do for the current generation but for the ones that follow. “When I look at the grand scheme and take the long view, my children and my grandchildren, that’s who it’s really going to help,” Rice says. “The things I’m doing today – myself and my staff – it adds up. And if we don’t do it, who will?”

The first hour of a Rochester school board business meeting is usually devoted to something upbeat, such as recognizing high-performing students and teachers. That’s followed by time set aside for speakers: parents, teachers, and community members who have come to address a particular issue they’re concerned about. Somewhere toward the end of the meeting, when most people have left, board members vote on a list of payroll expenses that fall under an innocuous category called “Authorization of Additional Pay.” These are requests from school administrators asking the board to approve extra pay for teachers and staff for additional hours. The additional-pay requests are routine; they occur in almost all of the school board’s business meetings, sometimes more than a dozen of them at a time, and they’re usually for thousands of dollars. Although some board members challenge the requests, most notably Cynthia Elliott, they’re usually approved with few questions asked. Over the years, though, this money has reached a staggering amount. The Rochester City School District has spent millions on extra pay for teachers, administrators, and civil service workers. In 2013, for instance, the district spent $12,526,796 on extra pay for teachers, according to records provided by the district. Last year, the figure for teachers was $12,718,045. Combined with the extra pay for administrators and civil service workers, the district spent nearly $17 million in 2018 for what is essentially overtime pay, though it isn’t always called that. The majority of that money, says Everton Sewell, chief financial officer for the district, went to providing “expanded learning time” in city schools: paying teachers and other staff to work longer hours in school.

There are many different versions of expanded learning in districts across the country, but expanded learning in the Rochester school district has three components: intervention in the student’s problem areas, enrichment time spent on activities the student likes, and collaboration between teachers in the school. The intervention and enrichment varies, depending on the students’ needs, and the goal is to make that time as individualized as possible. In School 23, for instance, students arrive at 7:30 and have breakfast. They have a schedule of classes – math, social studies, English, and science. But some students may need additional time on math, while others need more time in English. So another teacher intervenes directly with a small group of students to help them catch up and stay on track. Added to this is enrichment time, which could include theater, music, or the video game Minecraft. School 23’s students leave at 3:30 p.m. School 34’s expanded learning is similar, but students there participate in Future Cities, a national competition designed to enhance STEM skills. Eight Rochester schools follow the expanded learning model in the purest sense, having all three components, and another 19 schools use some variation of it. Enrichment time for students varies from school to school, depending on what students are most interested in, says Michele Alberti, the district’s executive director of school innovation. It’s difficult to fit expanded learning and strong enrichment programs in a traditional six-hour school day, she says.

Expanded learning efforts in

the Rochester school district started in the 2012-2013 school year with three pilot schools, Northeast College High and Northwest Junior High on the Douglass campus and School 9, says Alberti. Former Superintendent Bolgen Vargas noted at the time that the Rochester district was providing some of the least amount of instruction time in the country to its students, Alberti says. Since then, 24 other schools have begun offering some form of expanded learning, some of them low-performing schools, some not. The expense for the expanded learning programs raises several questions, particularly when the district’s management and spending practices are under scrutiny. • Is there a less expensive way to staff expanded learning? With the district spending so much on what is basically overtime pay, wouldn’t it be better to hire more part-time or full-time employees? • Has the investment in longer school days improved student achievement? Even if it has, can the spending be sustained?

• What are the long-term implications for troubled schools, which rely heavily on employees working additional hours to improve low student performance? The district’s civil service workers – custodians, clerical staff, and cafeteria workers – are eligible for overtime pay: one and a half times their hourly pay. Principals and teachers, however, are classified as “professionals.” Their hours and additional pay are negotiated in their union contract. Under their contract, teachers are generally expected to work six hours a day. If they work beyond those hours and that work involves teaching students, they’re paid one rate. If the time isn’t spent with students – writing curriculum, for instance – they’re paid a lower rate.

And in some instances, teachers receive a fixed amount, Sewell says. At East High, for example, teachers receive their salary plus $10,000 for the extra time they’re expected to spend with students. Even though the annual amount of money spent on additional pay is a small percentage of the district’s near $1 billion budget, it’s not an insignificant amount, either, says Sewell. And that amount has varied substantially, according to the district’s records. In 2013, the district spent $15,408,812 in additional pay. That climbed to $20,009,687 in 2015, and then dipped to $16,793,296 in 2018. Virtually every school in the district has employees getting paid for additional time, but the pay is substantially higher for some schools. And those amounts have also varied. For example, more than $698,000 was spent on School 23’s additional pay in 2017 and just over $143,000 in 2018. School 33 had more than $159,000 in additional pay in 2017 and roughly $146,500 in 2018. School 17 had more than $376,000 in 2017 and more than $430,000 in 2018. At Edison Tech, a much larger school, additional pay totalled $1,737,000 in 2017 and $1,126,000 in 2018. At East, it was $941,915 in 2017 and $1,095,597 in 2018. Although the additional-pay requests come in a few at a time throughout the year, the district does budget for them, and typically, the amount doesn’t exceed what has been budgeted each year, Sewell says. rochestercitynewspaper.com

Most of the money for additional pay comes out of the district’s general fund, which is provided by the state, says Sewell. Schools that the State Education Department has identified as low-performing and need to improve receive additional money to pay for a three-year turnaround plan. Most of the turnaround plans involve expanded learning and enrichment programs that rely on teachers and staff working extra hours. Even though it appears that the district could save money by hiring more full-time or part-time employees at regular pay instead of paying staff extra for working additional hours, it’s not always practical, Sewell says. The district can’t hire teachers to teach only the hour and a half that has been added to a school day, for instance.

Are districts like Rochester getting what they’re

paying for with expanded learning? That depends on who you talk to and how you define success. Advocates of expanded learning argue that traditional school models and the shorter school days were designed for a different era. Today’s students, they say, need more time in school to prepare for a different workforce in the global economy. And the proponents argue that children from poor families frequently don’t have the resources and opportunities that would help them excel in school. But critics of expanded learning question the value of enrichment programs, some of which can appear to be glorified after-school and daycare programs that do little to improve student achievement. The research around expanded learning isn’t conclusive. One of the most comprehensive studies on the matter, “The Effects of Increased Learning Time on Student Academic and Nonacademic Outcomes,” was conducted by the US Department of Education’s Institute of Education Sciences in 2014. The researchers examined more than 7,000 studies and then focused on 30 that revealed some of the strongest findings about expanded learning. The researchers drew several conclusions: Increasing the amount of instruction time for low-performing students can have a small effect on literacy and math, but it’s not overwhelming. Results are not as good for middle-school students as they are for elementary students. And how the additional time is spent is critically important. Further, students do better with in-school instruction and programs with teachers and staff who know exactly what their needs are rather than programs that have been turned over to an outside agency. The district hasn’t done a comprehensive study of its own expanded learning effort. But 10 CITY MAY 15 - 21, 2019

Michele Alberti and Kelly Bauman, director of expanded learning for city schools, both say that based on their experience, giving students more targeted instruction time and activities that they want to participate in is effective. The best evidence, they say, is that they’re seeing schools come off the State Education Department’s list of low-performing schools. Schools 22, 34, and 9 have been removed from the state’s list of low-performing schools and are now schools in “good standing.” And district officials say they’ve been told that Schools 3, 8, 17, and 45 will be removed from the list in June. All have expanded learning programs. Getting results takes time, says Alberti – as much as two to three years. And it’s labor intensive. “All staff work extra time, not just teachers, and it is effective,” Alberti says. “But the caveat is that it comes with a cost.”

There’s also a concern about sustainability.

Funding for some schools with expanded learning comes from state grants, provided for low-performing schools to help them improve. If those schools improve but have to go back to a shorter day when they lose the grants, will their students’ performance suffer? The school board recently approved extending East’s partnership with the University of Rochester, but the high cost and sustainability was a concern for some board members.

And expanded learning is by no means a panacea for poor student achievement and low-performing schools. State Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia pulled the plug on efforts at School 41 last year, a receivership school that wasn’t meeting its goals quickly enough, despite its expanded learning program. The school just needed a little more time, Alberti says. But it was closed and reopened as RISE Community School 106. “There’s absolutely schools where it didn’t work,” says Bauman. “But that’s often due to a lack of buy-in at the school.” If some teachers and staff don’t want to work the extra hours or don’t support the concept, she says, it creates a sense of time that has simply been added on for no specific reason. “It becomes less and less about enrichment and acceleration throughout the student’s entire day,” Bauman says. Some resistance comes from teachers who prefer the traditional school day because the shorter day allows them to go home and spend time with their own children, she says. Some parents are not comfortable with longer days, either, because they don’t want their children to get home late in the day, particularly in the fall and winter when it’s dark, Bauman says.

Rochester’s expanded learning initiative didn’t get off to a good

start. “At first, we did expanded learning with the help of outside organizations,” board member Willa Powell says. “But we had to backfill with our staff, because the people who promised their time and services didn’t always show up.” Powell cites numerous similar calls for outside help for city students, such as one that promised 10,000 volunteers to mentor city students. Those ideas aren’t realistic solutions to the needs of many city students and their families, she says. “This is one of the realities of urban education,” Powell says. “We’re getting kids longer each day and every school year and into the summer. And there’s a cost for this.” Interest in expanded learning is likely to increase in the Rochester district in the near future because of growing interest in the community-school model for low-performing schools. Community schools offer a variety of support services for students and their families. Teachers and administrators work at making the schools a neighborhood hub to better engage with families and residents in the area. But expanded learning is often a component of community schools. And assuming that expanded learning can be credited for at least some of the improvement at community schools like School 17 and East Upper and Lower, some city officials are interested in seeing the district add more of them, too. Ten more city schools will begin converting to the community school model in the coming academic year: Schools 10, 16, 19, 28, and 33; Wilson Foundation; Leadership Academy for Young Men; Edison Career and Technology High School; Integrated Arts and Technology High School; and Vanguard Collegiate High School. All are low-performing schools, according to the state. But Alberti says that while expanded learning, like wrap-around services, has been a hallmark of community schools, it’s not mandatory. And expanded learning requires a flexible staff willing to work additional hours and the district having the money to pay for them. “Expanded learning and community schools go hand in hand,” Alberti says. “But you need the resources.” There’s no avoiding one major takeaway from all of this, says chief financial officer, Everton Sewell. Expanded learning and enrichment programs, which have become standard components of school-turnaround plans in many urban school districts, cost more money.

Theater confidence necessary to the role. The most touching moments in the show come from moments between Ames and Armstrong, who poignantly portray the complex relationship between a father and daughter during the late teenage and young adult years. As Hank’s ex-wife Bette, Rizzo is sass and saccharine; as Hank’s self-deprecating employee Toby who’s hopelessly in love with Lena, Andy Head elicits many of the laughs during the production. As DJ Nash, Laron Dewberry is charming and forthright, and his initial tête-àtête with Armstrong is a sweet scene. Andreatta rounds out the cast as conniving, ambitious Joey, a young developer with his own interests in mind. The technical team at Blackfriars does an admirable job of bringing the 90s to life onstage, from costumes by Erika Gordon to rock ‘n’ roll props by John Engel. The two-anda-half hour show runs with one 15-minute intermission, which gives audience members time to visit the onstage bar again. Overall, “The Undeniable Sound of Right Now” is a fun night out — melding a night at a dive bar, music gig, and theater — and a fitting ending to a strong 2018-19 season at BFT.

Magic of music “The Undeniable Sound of Right Now” REVIEWED SATURDAY, MAY 11 CONTINUES THROUGH SUNDAY, MAY 26 BLACKFRIARS THEATRE, 795 EAST MAIN STREET $28.50-$36.50 | BLACKFRIARS.ORG [ REVIEW ] BY LEAH STACY

Long before streaming services, YouTube, and “American Idol” were valid ways to launch a music career, musicians were discovered by cassette tape demos or poorly paid gigs in smoke-filled clubs. “The Undeniable Sound of Right Now,” which closes Blackfriars Theatre’s 2018-19 season, tells the story of one such (fictional) club in Chicago. The year is 1992, and Hank’s is known throughout the Windy City — and the nation — for hosting bands like Nirvana and The Clash before they were household names. The venue’s founder and owner Hank (Matt 18 CITY MAY 15 - 21, 2019

Ames) has lived above his club for 25 years and raised his 21-year-old daughter, Lena (Kate Armstrong), with his ex-wife Bette (Mary Mendez Rizzo). In the wake of techno music’s rising popularity and a wave of young DJs playing warehouse shows all over the city, Hank’s has simply become a place of nostalgia, and with a rent increase from second-generation landlord Joey (Dave Andreatta), the struggling club needs a new strategy. (Followers of New York City’s CBGB, the haven for punk music in the 1980s, will find some alignment in the storyline.) Penned by playwright and screenwriter Laura Eason (“Sex with Strangers,” “House of Cards”), a Chicago-area native, “The Undeniable Sound of Right Now” captures the bittersweet act of passing the baton and a moving father-daughter relationship. Alexa Scott-Flaherty, who last directed the all-female ‘Twelfth Night” at Blackfriars during the 2017-18 season, guides a cast of six, with assistant direction from Jill Rittinger. As soon as audience members enter the theater, they are transported to a club circa-

1980s — complete with wood paneling, baskets of stale pretzels, and ash trays filled with cigarette butts (a throwback to pre-indoor smoking laws). Scenic designer Roger Budnik has constructed a full working bar opposite a stage with instruments and mics, fully outfitted for a live performance. Before finding their seats in the BFT auditorium, patrons can order a beer (featuring Rohrbach Brewing Company) or glass of wine from guest bartenders and hear a short set from a local band. The intimate cast radiates immediate chemistry with one another. There are many deep dynamics at play throughout the script, from ex-lovers and infatuation to unrequited love and familial bonds. As Hank, Ames portrays a grizzly club owner with a tough exterior and a caring heart. Ames’s ability to translate the character’s myriad emotional makeup anchors the show throughout, giving his fellow cast members plenty to work with. As a daughter trying to find her identity, Armstrong is a worthy counterpart to Ames. Her energy is infectious, and she exudes a

DANCE | ‘ARIA’

KIDS | SESAME STREET 50TH ANNIVERSARY

Collaborations between BIODANCE and digital media artist W. Michelle Harris have yielded breathtaking performances over the past several years, including those that debuted each fall as part of the Rochester Fringe Festival. Last Fringe season, BIODANCE and Harris collaborated with chamber ensemble quintet fivebyfive and soprano Kearstin Piper Brown to present the stunning work, “Aria,” which featured a heart-piercing blend of movement, siren-like vocals, and vibrant visuals. If you missed the two entirely enthralling performances of the show that were tailor-made for the Lyric Theatre’s stage, you’re in luck: The show will be reprised this week for two performances at the same gorgeous venue. Get there early so you don’t miss the subtle prelude the dancers perform before the show begins.

It’s hard to overstate the enduring importance of certain children’s programming. The educational and compassionate “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” will rightfully always hold a special place in the hearts of a few generations of grown-up kids. And another big player of public programming that centers on the concept of a neighborhood celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. “Sesame Street” has always fed children’s curiosity with the incomparable imagination of Jim Henson’s creative team, and has continued to evolve its representation to include more and more nuances of the human experience. In honor of the anniversary, The Strong National Museum of Play and Sesame Workshop have teamed up to present a weekend of events, including meet and greets with Walkaround Abby Cadabby, story readings, exhibits, and more.

Film

Justice Smith and Pikachu (voiced by Ryan Reynolds) in “Pokémon Detective Pikachu.” PHOTO COURTESY WARNER BROS

Having a (Poké) ball “Pokémon Detective Pikachu” (PG), DIRECTED BY ROB LETTERMAN NOW PLAYING [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

If you had told me back when it was first announced Ryan Reynolds would be starring as the adorable yellow rodent Pikachu in a live-action Pokémon movie, that two years later I’d actually be looking forward to the resulting movie, I’d have said you’d taken one too many zaps from the furry critter’s electrified tail. But then the marketing for “Pokémon Detective Pikachu” made it look like a fun, kid-friendly neo-noir romp, and I was improbably intrigued. Though I’m a bit

disappointed to report the actual film isn’t quite as good as that potential led me to hope, it’s a reasonably entertaining way to spend a couple hours at the movies. Shockingly for a property that’s existed for nearly 25 years — starting out as a series of video games then expanding to include trading cards, animated movies, TV shows, comics, and more — “Pokémon Detective Pikachu” is the first live action film to be made from the multimedia franchise. Set in a world where Pokémon and humans harmoniously coexist, the film follows a young loner named Tim (Justice Smith) after he’s informed his estranged police detective father, Harry, has died suddenly and tragically in a car accident. Traveling to nearby Ryme City to settle his father’s affairs, Tim ends up finding an amnesia-stricken Pikachu fumbling around Harry’s apartment searching

for answers to a past he believes is connected to Tim’s father. To make things even stranger, though most Pokémon speak in a language that consists only of their own name, Tim finds that he’s the only human capable of understanding what Pikachu is saying. Together the unlikely duo set off to find out what happened to Harry. They’re soon joined by Lucy (Kathryn Newton), an intrepid junior reporter with her own Pokémon sidekick, a high-strung billed critter named Psyduck, who will explode into a massive blast of destructive energy if he gets too stressed. So basically, my spirit Pokémon. The scrappy team’s investigation eventually leads them to a city-wide conspiracy involving benevolent millionaire Howard Clifford (Bill Nighy), his media mogul son Roger (Chris Geere), and the fate of a powerful, genetically engineered Pokémon Mewtwo.

The central mystery gets rather convoluted (a possible side effect of the sheer number of writers with a hand in the film), and the pace does drag a bit until Pikachu shows up — the wisecracking gumshoe gives the film a muchneeded jolt of energy. When it comes time for a resolution, not all of it comes together as much I would have liked, and it relies heavily on lastminute explanations and villain monologuing. Still, those narrative shortcomings result in an appealing shagginess to the film. Director Rob Letterman (“Goosebumps”) and his writers liberally pepper the film with plenty of references and Easter eggs from the universe and related pop culture, including a pretty great nod to “Home Alone” and an action-heavy climax that bears more than a passing resemblance to Tim Burton’s 1989 “Batman.” The noir elements call to mind “Who Framed Roger Rabbit,” though “Detective Pikachu” is even more squarely aimed at children. And like that film, it makes for a pretty decent introduction to the tropes of the noir genre for those young audiences. But most impressive is the look of the film, which is undeniably dazzling. Appropriately for the noir-tinged story, production designer Nigel Phelps bathes Ryme City in neon lights and reflective rain-slicked streets. The decision to shoot “Detective Pikachu” on 35-millimeter Kodak film lends cinematographer John Mathieson’s images a nice tactile feel to match the film’s remarkably lifelike creatures. One of the best decisions the production made was to enlist R.J. Palmer, an artist who’d earned a following by posting his realistic Pokémon illustrations online, to work on concept designs. With his help, the effects bring a realistic weight and life to the fantastical animals. And really, Pikachu is just unbearably cute. As the start of a potential franchise, “Pokémon Detective Pikachu” is a flawed but promising start; I can see this universe becoming a fun sandbox for future creators to play in. Who knows? Now that all the necessary world-building is out of the way, and with inevitable sequels surely in the pipeline, it might actually be worth catching ‘em all.
