GUEST COMMENTARY | BY JITU BROWN AND ROSEMARY RIVERA

Jitu Brown is national director for the Journey for Justice Alliance. Rosemary Rivera is co-executive director of Citizen Action of New York (and a former Rochester education organizer). Mary Anna Towler’s Urban Journal will return next week.

State takeover is not the answer We know that Rochester residents want the same thing: excellent public schools where it is a joy to teach and learn. The fact that this vision hasn’t been realized on a district-wide basis is painful, and there’s a growing sentiment that something has to be done, anything, to turn the tide. However, dissolving a democratically elected school board takes Rochester further from its goal and disempowers the very community it should be lifting up.

In 2002, New York State officials approved a takeover of Long Island’s Roosevelt school district. Like the RCSD, Roosevelt’s enrollment is a majority students of color, with more than half of its students living at or below the poverty line. The takeover fell short of its goals. Roosevelt schools did not improve academically during the 11-year takeover.

The State Board of Regents has an important role to play: in supporting the Rochester school board and helping it make good decisions for schools. But to pin the problems in the RCSD on the school board is misguided. There is no quick fix for school performance when large numbers of children are struggling with poverty, hunger, and housing insecurity.

Rochester public schools are still owed $97 million as part of the Campaign for Fiscal Equity, a landmark court case ruling that New York’s public schools are unfairly funded. Because of Governor Cuomo’s failure to comply with the court ruling, schools continue to face annual budget cuts that hurt students and teachers.

At the same time, we have failed to fully contend with the role of structural racism in education outcomes. Students of color face disproportionately high rates of suspension and excessive discipline.

When students are suspended for weeks at a time, they fall behind and their academic performance suffers.

Schools like Enrico Fermi School 17 have emphasized restorative practices to repair school relationships and keep students engaged in the classroom. The improvement in academic performance has been remarkable, and Distinguished Educator Jaime Aquino highlighted school climate as a major bright spot in the district. The strides made by School 17

should serve as a model for the rest of the Rochester City School District.

Enrico Fermi is a community school that provides wraparound services, including an on-site recreation center with after-school programs and meals for children. The board is strongly in favor of expanding the community school model and restorative practices, but these programs require investment. Addressing the problems faced by students and families in poverty takes a “whole student” approach.

Moments of crisis can lead us to take rash actions. The Chamber of Commerce and pro-business groups will use this crisis as an opportunity to push privatization and charter expansion – an approach we’ve already seen fail in New Orleans, Newark, and Detroit. These are the same groups that have worsened the crisis through the shameless promotion of austerity budgets and anti-worker policies that keep people trapped in poverty.

A recent study by the Education Justice Network shows that countries that invest in public education with a focus on equity outperform countries that have privatized their education systems. Canada outperforms the United States, Cuba outperforms Chile, and Finland outperforms Sweden. What children in New York and other urban communities across the United States need is equity.

Progress in our schools has been slow and uneven, but we know what works.

Our focus should be on expanding the successful programs we see at Enrico Fermi School 17, Francis Parker School 23, World of Inquiry School 58, and many other outstanding schools in the district. Taking away the voice of voters and community members isn’t the answer.

Nominations sought for arts steering committee A collective of local arts organization members is putting together a committee with the intention of getting Rochester’s arts and creative communities involved in the city’s comprehensive plan process.

Last month the city of Rochester presented a draft of “Rochester 2034,” its 15-year comprehensive plan for housing, transportation, economic growth, and other areas. That plan is in the public comment phase.

Seeing the need to formalize the arts sector’s desire for inclusive arts funding, ROC Arts United members have begun organizing the Rochester Creative Economy Development Steering Committee. ROC Arts United development team member Amanda Chestnut is asking those interested in serving on the committee to nominate themselves. She shared the request on Facebook.

“It is urgent that a unified voice can speak to the need for equity, transparency, and access in arts funding and administration in the city of Rochester,” Chestnut wrote in the nomination form’s introduction.

The steering committee would ideally serve as that voice, representing the range of work, institutions, organizations, organizations, businesses, and individuals in Rochester, she wrote.

“Ultimately, we need the same things: transparency, inclusion, and equal access to a seat at the table” when the arts and creative sectors – which organizers call the creative economy — are being discussed in Rochester, Chestnut wrote.

The steering committee will meet monthly to discuss information gathered from existing research committees and the community. It will work to determine the needs of those working in the creative economy, from independent makers to large arts institutions. The steering committee will look at the economic and social impact of Rochester’s creative economy and determine goals and desired outcomes for supporting the arts and creative sectors.

The nomination period closes at the end of the day on Thursday, June 20, and nominees’ submitted information will be made public during the day on Friday, June 21. Steering committee members will be voted in by ballot at the next Creative Economy Development meeting on Monday, June 24, at 9 a.m., at Visual Studies Workshop.

Health care, not jail for some suspects Some people accused of crimes in Monroe County will be diverted away from jails and into mental health care under a program that began last week.

Police officers and sheriff’s deputies now have the option to refer people accused of misdemeanors or low-level violations to a behavioral clinic instead of booking them into jail. If people referred to the clinic complete their treatment course, run

by Rochester Regional Health at its St. Mary’s campus, the charges will never be filed.

The program has been a long time coming, Monroe County

District Attorney Sandra Doorley said. “We’re very excited,” Doorley said. “It’s a project that we in law enforcement and the mental health community have been working on for quite some time.”

Law enforcement leaders across the county praised the program. “It’s a great tool for officers to use,” said Sgt. Steve Boily, who commands the Rochester Police Department’s crisis intervention team.

“Prison is not generally conducive to mental health,” Boily said. “A jail-like setting tends to lack some of the mental health resources that you find in a clinic.”

Fairport police Chief Sam Farina echoed those concerns, noting that when people with mental health troubles get booked in jail, they face a series of stressful situations without adequate care.

The diversion program is a way to get them immediate help, he said.

Greece police Chief Pat Phelan said he doesn’t think his officers will need additional training to determine who might be eligible for the diversion program. Performing basic evaluations of people’s mental health status “is just a part of good police work,” Phelan said. continues on page 12

At a two-day symposium last week, visiting panelists talked about how the arts have enhanced assets their cities were already known for. And they emphasized the value of inclusion and collaboration as key to cultivating a thriving arts environment.

ARTS | BY EFUA AGYARE-KUMI

Arts groups share ideas on boosting downtown Representatives from four US cities took center stage at an Arts in the Loop symposium last week at the Eastman School of Music, sharing their ideas on how to boost Rochester’s economic development through arts and culture.

A coalition of arts groups, community leaders, and others, Arts in the Loop hopes to help revitalize downtown Rochester with the arts. At the June 5 and 6 symposium, visitors from Pittsburgh, Nashville, Minneapolis, and St. Paul took part in four panel discussions, where they shared the strategies they had used to revive their cities.

During the first day’s sessions, the panelists talked about how the arts have enhanced assets their cities were already known for. And they emphasized the value of inclusion and collaboration as key to cultivating a thriving arts environment.

Audrey Russo, CEO of the Pittsburgh Technology Council, said her group had increased its collaboration efforts with artists in the area.

“We decided that it was really important that artists were part of our team,” she said.

“Pittsburgh has the greatest ‘collision’ of people who make stuff, and making stuff includes art. And it is embedded into who we are now.”

The panelists also spoke about equity — how communities can make sure that as they move forward, they leave no one behind.

Jun-Li Wang, who directs community development at Springboard of the Arts in Minneapolis-St. Paul, spoke about the importance of building relationships, especially with cultural groups tied to historically disadvantaged communities.

These relationships shape Springboard’s future projects, Wang said.

“We don’t just show up somewhere and say, ‘Hey, we have this great idea, and now you have to get on board,’” Wang said. “But we are invited, and part of being invited is being in relationship in advance. We try to hang out. We show up in their spaces.”

Jill McMillan, executive director of the Arts and Business Council of Nashville, said it was important for organizations to create opportunities for “transparent, frank conversations” about race and other forms of systemic oppression.

David Pankratz, Research and Policy Director at the Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council, said his organization is tackling the issue of equity by scrutinizing its practices — from how grant applications are read to how hiring decisions are made.

The panelists also admitted that despite these initiatives, none of their cities provided

a roadmap to an

equitable society.

“I can tell you that in Pittsburgh, we are definitely leaving people behind if you look at our tech companies,” Russo said. “I’m not proud of it.” Her council started a fellowship program for local artists as one way to combat the problem.

Over two days last week, panelists at the Arts in the Loops Sympo Wednesday’s sium discussed the value of the arts in revitalizing efforts. second session explored PHOTO BY EFUA AGYARE-KUMI the theme of space and the idea of “placemaking.” Placemaking is a “It’s not about artists from somewhere else grassroots, community-led effort to cultivate coming in and finding those underutilized a space, the panelists agreed. spaces,” Wang said. “It’s about the people who are there and how can we connect “You can spend a lot of money,” Wang them to the various resources and said. “You can make it beautiful. But if you opportunities that are there.” haven’t engaged people in the creation of that space, it can fall flat.”

For the Arts in the Loop coalition, Placemaking can have a dark side, as the this week’s discussions will inform its next process of revitalizing a neighborhood often steps, says Coalition Executive Committee member Maria Furgiuelle. She anticipates goes hand in hand with the displacement that the coalition will create committees to of older residents. One way to insulate find “direct points of connection” between against this, Wang said, is to create artistic these ideas and the Rochester community, opportunities that empower people she said. already in the neighborhood.

OTE PRIMARY DAY IS JUNE 25

New York political parties will hold primary elections for numerous local offices on June 25, selecting their candidates for the November general election.

Among them will be Democratic primaries for four Rochester school board seats and several County Legislature seats, and an Independence Party primary for county executive.

Polling hours for primaries are shorter than for general elections: noon to 9 p.m. In New York State, to vote in a party’s primary you have to be registered in that party. So in the Democratic primary for City Council, only registered Democrats can vote. In the Independence Party primary, only people registered in that party can vote. And it’s too late to change party registration for this primary.

THE JUNE 25 PRIMARY | BY JEREMY MOULE

Legislature primaries precede bigger contest Local Democrats are making their hardest push in at least a decade to take control of the Monroe County Legislature; the last time the party held the county executive’s seat or a majority in the Legislature was in the 1990’s.

The party has a full ticket, with candidates for all but one of the Lej seats and strong candidates at the top: County Clerk Adam Bello will take on incumbent Republican County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo, and Shani Curry Mitchell is running against incumbent Republican District Attorney Sandra Doorley.

All 29 Legislature seats are up this year, and working the county exec race into the equation, there could be one of four outcomes: a Republican executive with a Republicancontrolled legislature, a Republican executive with a Democratic-majority Legislature, a Democratic exec and Legislature, and a Democratic executive with a Republican-led Legislature.

But while Democrats are starting their big push, they’re also facing six Legislature primaries.

One of them is in a district that covers parts of Henrietta and Pittsford, but the others center on city neighborhoods. The winner in most of those races will not have a general-election opponent.

Democrats have already laid out key points for the general election. They’ve argued that the Republican-led county government hasn’t been honest about the budget and property taxes. They say the county’s approach to economic development has been scattershot and ineffective, and they say they want initiatives that are more focused.

They’re also arguing that the administration and Republican majority haven’t done enough to address understaffing and high caseloads in the county’s Children Protective Services division. And they’ve pledged to better fund county preschool early intervention services and day care subsidies.

And that’s the background against which the Democratic Legislature primaries are occurring.

The candidates in those races differ less on issues than on personality, approach, and background.

A few of the races have been contentious.

The 23rd District has the only three-way race of the bunch, and the candidates have all been campaigning hard in its neighborhoods.

The district’s Democratic committee designated Linda Hasman for the seat, but Scotty Ginett has picked up endorsements from some key party

leaders, including City Council Vice President Willie Joe Lightfoot and City Council member Mitch Gruber. Todd Grady, the third candidate in the race, is running a grassroots campaign.

Victor Sanchez, the designated candidate in the 21st district, is up against a well-known challenger, former journalist Rachel Barnhart.

The two squared off during the designating process, and some of Barnhart’s supporters protested the outcome due to what they said were voting irregularities. They asked the party to refrain from designating a candidate in the race, but leaders argued that the process was above board and stood by the outcome.

Barnhart and Sanchez turned their focus to campaigning quickly. Sanchez has stuck to a theme of working with other Democrats to accomplish a mutual agenda, and he’s appeared at events with some of the party’s prominent office holders.

Barnhart is running the same sort of grassroots, social-media-savvy campaign she has in previous elections. She continues her emphasis on government accountability, getting money out of local politics, and making better use of the county’s fiber optic network. To her supporters, Barnhart’s willingness to confront people in power is appealing, but privately some Democratic legislators say they’re concerned that Barnhart may not be a team player if she’s elected.

The 26th District race is a rematch of the 2015 general election contest between Yversha Roman and Tony Micciche, but with a twist. Micciche was first elected to the Legislature as a Republican, and he won the 2015 race as a Republican. He joined the Democrats in October 2018, however, saying he was frustrated with his party.

Roman, who describes herself as a lifelong Democrat, had a strong, immediate reaction to his switch. In a statement, she said she was troubled by Micciche’s decision to join the party “after years of bashing our values.” When Micciche launched his 2017 mayoral campaign, he said he was running to challenge “legacy of failed Democrat philosophy,” according to a Democrat and Chronicle report on the event.

Micciche also has the Monroe County Libertarian Party’s backing, so he could appear on the November ballot even if he loses the Democratic Primary. The same is true of Roman, who has the Working Families Party line. There’s also a Republican candidate in the general election: Orlando Rivera.

DINOLFO V. BELLO:

THE JUNE 25 PRIMARY | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

School board candidates face a skeptical public

The primary is no preview It’s tempting to look at the June 25 Independence Party primary in the county executive’s race as a preview of the general election; that’s what one local TV news crew did. After all, the two candidates in the general election – Democratic County Clerk Adam Bello and incumbent Republican Cheryl Dinolfo – are fighting it out for the party’s line.

But the race is hardly a preview of the coming general. Monroe County has approximately 457,000 registered voters, but only 4.5 percent of them – around 20,500 – are registered in the Independence Party. By contrast, 41.4 percent of county voters are registered as Democrats, 27.6 percent are registered Republicans, and 24 percent aren’t registered in a party at all.

Only the fraction of voters registered in the Independence Party can vote in its primary.

And it’s unlikely that all of them will.

What’s really at stake in this race is a strategic advantage.

The Independence Party line can help candidates win general elections, because some voters associate it with billionaire founder Tom Golisano’s prolonged campaign against high property taxes, but also because some voters mistake it as “independent.”

That’s why Bello and Dinolfo both sought out and – through an arcane bit of New York State election laws – received the party’s designation. Dinolfo got the local committee’s backing and Bello got the state committee’s blessing. Judges at a couple of levels of the state court system ruled that both designations were valid, clearing the way for the primary.

Terry Dade, the new Superintendent of Rochester city schools, may report to a school board with some new members. FILE PHOTO

Every election has twists and turns, but this year’s election for Rochester school board is among the strangest in recent memory. The election is taking place at the same time that Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren is calling for the state to get rid of the board and take over the district for a few years.

In the June 25 Democratic primary, 10 candidates are running for four of the board’s seven seats, including three of the incumbents: Judith Davis, Willa Powell, and Beatriz LeBron. Incumbent Liz Hallmark, who is completing her first term on the board, is not seeking reelection.

Davis, Howard Eagle, Andria Bryant, and Clifford Florence are running as a slate. Also running, independently: Robert Hoggard, Amy Maloy, and Ricardo Adams.

(Board president Van White is running for City Court judge. And if he wins, another school board seat could become vacant in January 2020.)

All of the candidates object to the proposed state takeover of the district.

The improvements needed in city schools,

they say, must come from communitydriven, home-grown solutions rather than a state intervention.

And some of them argue that many of the problems facing Rochester’s children and their families – violence in their neighborhoods, lack of affordable housing, and lack of job opportunities – are areas Warren should be focusing on because they, too, are affecting students.

Each of the candidates say they agree with most of the findings in Distinguished Educator Jaime Aquino’s report concerning the district’s problems. And they say they want to help the district’s new superintendent, Terry Dade, implement Aquino’s recommendations.

But the next board, which potentially could have several new members, will face some of the most serious challenges in recent memory. And that’s if the board exists six months from now.

The board has long been the target of sharp criticism, some of it legitimate, some not. But a report on the district’s failures in

special education followed by an investigation into the death of School 12 student Trevyan Rowe shook the community.

After Aquino’s stinging report on the district’s problems was released last fall, confidence in the Rochester school board sank to a new low. The district’s past problems will make it extremely hard, maybe impossible at this point, to convince some voters that an elected school board can lead the district.

Here’s why: Among Aquino’s concerns was board members’ inability to work together, lack of understanding of their role, lack of accountability throughout the organization, and frequent changes in leadership.

Many critics say the board’s job is to set policy, not get involved in day-to-day operations. But some current board members argue that claims of micromanaging the superintendent and intervening into daily management are overblown. continues on page 10 rochestercitynewspaper.com

CITY 9

THE 2 0 1 9 P R IM ARIE S Board president White insists that state education law doesn’t prevent school boards from having a heavy hand in school district management. And the state education laws delineating the “powers and duties” of school boards vs. superintendents aren’t crystal clear.

If anything, White says, the board has sometimes given superintendents too much autonomy and approved their requests without questioning them.

And he says improvements in graduation rates and reductions in suspensions have been minimized, if not dismissed. The graduation rate is on the cusp of breaking 60 percent, he says.

But White’s efforts to repair the board’s image have been plagued by infighting. Some board members have gone rogue, holding their own press conferences and writing op-eds and letters to state officials that publicly disparage their fellow board members.

Longtime board member Willa Powell says a big problem the board dealt with during the last few years was a result of multiple changes within the board itself.

Natalie Sheppard won election to the board in 2017, replacing longtime board member Jose Cruz, who did not seek re-election. Two other board members – Mary Adams and Malik Evans (now a member of City Council) – left before the end of their terms, and in January 2018, Beatriz LeBron and Melanie Funchess were appointed to replace them.

In the November 2018 election, however, Judith Davis defeated Funchess.

The frequent change made relationship building difficult and a division developed between some of the old and new board members, Powell says, and it’s taken time to develop working relationships.

The current school board candidates, then, are trying to prevail in an emotionally charged time. And regardless of the controversy about the district’s future, the next school board will have to deal with some serious issues. Of the district’s 48 schools, 14 are in “receivership,” meaning that they’ve been persistently among the lowest performing in the state. While the state took seven schools off the receivership list this year, it added 10 new ones.

There’s also the challenge of keeping the schools that have made progress from slipping backward.

10 CITY JUNE 12 - 18, 2019

The district is getting pressure to adopt a variety of different reforms. Some parents and residents want neighborhood schools.

Some want community schools with wrap-around services. Some activists want schools to be more autonomous and to be led by teachers.

Costs that have little to do with instruction are rising rapidly.

Transportation costs, for instance, are now running close to $100 million annually, according to Interim Superintendent Daniel Lowengard.

And many families, especially those advocating for neighborhood and community schools, are pushing for busing all students, which could raise the costs further.

Though Distinguished Educator Aquino recently praised the district for making substantial improvements in special education, many problems remain in that area.

The next board will be working with a new superintendent, who is not only new to the job, but also new to Rochester, its students and families, and the community.

He’ll need plenty of support settling into the job and the area.

Voters, many of whom are clearly frustrated and tired of hearing about the district’s problems, face some tough decisions. Some candidates have a lot of experience, but others have little. If White leaves, the board will have even fewer experienced members.

And new board members will have a steep learning curve, learning about district operations and building productive relationships with each other and the superintendent.

In addition, the next board will have someone watching them who wasn’t a voter: State Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia, whom they’ll have to convince that they can implement Aquino’s recommendations and put the district firmly on a path to success.

The slightest hint of infighting, grandstanding, and foolishness will give Elia, the regents, and the district’s many critics clearance to go to lawmakers and demand action.

SCHOOL BOARD CANDIDATES The district has not done enough to reach out to parents, Bryant says. “I never had anybody come to me.”

Ricardo Adams

A volunteer in city schools for the past eight years, Adams is married to former school board member Mary Adams. They have three daughters, two of whom are still in city schools.

“I have a sense of obligation to this community,” Adams says, “and this is what I have to do. I’m in the schools and I’m in touch.

I see what’s working and what’s not. I don’t have an agenda.”

“I’m not a miracle worker,” he says. “But I can bring people together, and that’s what we need right now. We need to work together for our kids. They are depending on us.”

Judith Davis

An incumbent, Davis was elected last year to complete former board member Mary Adams’ term, defeating appointed board member Melanie Funchess. She is running for a full term now, on a slate with Howard Eagle, Andria Bryant, and Clifford Florence.

Davis voted against the 2019-2020 budget. “I came to the conclusion that we didn’t have a strategic plan,” she says, “and the budget was supposed to reflect the plan, but we didn’t have one.”

She has focused a lot of her attention on the effect racism has on city schools, students, and families. “I don’t think that we can ignore that we’ve all been raised in a society with racism,” Davis says. “Our over-suspension was based on implicit bias, a belief system of white principals and teachers.”

Andria Bryant

A day-care provider in her home, Bryant is the mother of four children who have graduated from city schools. She’s now a grandparent.

“I’m doing this out of a love for the children,” Bryant says. “I believe in the report that the distinguished educator gave us. I believe in that report 110 percent.”

Bryant says she was a single mother raising four children and she knows what many district parents face. They love their children, but they’re working hard and don’t have a lot of time, she says.

Howard Eagle

A long-time community activist who has run for school board several times, Eagle is a member of the Take It Down Planning Committee, Faith Community Alliance, and Movement for Anti-

racist Ministry and Action Coalition. He is the father of three sons who have attended city schools; one will soon be graduating from East Upper High School.

“When I ran in 2013,” he says, “I had sworn I wasn’t going to run again. I wanted to engage in a process that would groom other candidates.” But he was more or less drafted in an effort to take all four seats as a slate, he says, “because that’s how decisions are made: it takes four votes.”

“Our focus is to implement what Dr. Aquino has laid out in his report, all 11 points. We need systemic change.”

the City of Rochester as a Youth Intervention Gang Specialist.

“We intervene in disputes in schools and in the community,” Hall says, “and we try to work with victims to find wrap-around services. And we try to defuse things so there are no future attacks.”

Hall says he is concerned that so many of Rochester’s black and brown children have so little opportunity. “The only way Rochester will thrive in the future is if we help our children succeed,” Hall says. “A lot of companies don’t come here and set up shop because of our schools and low graduation rate.”

Because of his extensive work with families, he says, he thinks he could be a bridge between the district’s families and the resources they need.

Clifford Florence

The associate minister of the Central Church of Christ, Florence has over 25 years of service in the church, according to his website. He is active in community outreach, particularly in the areas of youth development, school reform, and parental involvement. He is currently chairman of Community Advocates for Educational Excellence.

Florence did not respond to requests for an interview in time for this article.

Robert Hoggard

A full-time graduate student working on a doctorate degree at the University of Rochester, Hoggard is, as he says, “the youngest person in this race.”

“Normally, he says, “a PhD student wouldn’t be doing this. But I looked at the Trevyan Rowe report and the investigation into his death and then the Aquino report and what’s happening to our children, and I had to step forward.”

He says he’s focusing his campaign on poverty, lack of affordable housing, and lack of opportunity. Many things outside of the classroom are making it harder to educate city children, he says.

“Central office is too big,” he says, and “there are not enough social workers.”

Beatriz LeBron

An incumbent, LeBron was appointed to the board in early 2018 to fill a vacancy left when Malik Evans joined City Council.

She ran again in November 2018 to complete Evans’ term and is now running to keep her seat on the board.

LeBron is a community health worker with Rochester Regional Health and is a parent of three children, one of whom is still a student in the district. She says her work with Rochester Regional Health and her board service have given her an insight into the district, its teachers, administrators, and families.

“I’ve worked in shelters and non-profit agencies advocating for people, mostly families and children, needing services,” she says.

The board’s focus needs to be on supporting new Superintendent Terry Dade, she says, and on policies and the budget. “I’m always asking ‘Can we afford this? Is there data that supports this?’”

Amy Maloy

Anthony Hall

Hall has a daughter in city schools and a son who attends a charter school. He works with

A teacher for the past 20 years, Maloy currently teaches in the Brighton school district. Her four children attend city schools.

She says the school board needs to be more unified and says she considers herself “very collaborative.”

“I was inspired to run because of the board dysfunction,” she says. “I don’t think a board should rubber-stamp things. But undermining the superintendent’s leadership causes more chaos and more instability.”

Many good things happen in all schools that never get reported, Maloy says. “We have some real gems. I would like to see School 58’s experiential learning model replicated.

We’re starting to see some great community schools like School 17. And there’s the EastUR partnership, and I think that kind of partnership is the future.”

It’s too easy to blame teachers for problems in the district, she says. “I see how hard they work.”

Willa Powell

An incumbent who has been elected to the school board five times, Powell has served on the board for 20 years. Her four children have attended city schools.

Critics “want to blame the old timers,” Powell says. “But the scrutiny that the district has been under makes it really difficult to get truly qualified candidates to run for office.”

“Now is not the time to walk away,” she says. “I offer a steady hand of experience, wisdom, and collaboration at a time when the board lacks experience and team building.”

Like the other candidates in the race, Powell opposes the proposal to have the state dissolve the school board and take over the district’s operations. “When liberal, progressive people say democracy is a small price to pay as they dissolve an elected body,” she says, “that’s really, really dangerous, particularly at this time.”

In Rochester, Boily was working on training materials last week. “It’s really not a very complicated program, thank goodness,” Boily said. “But we want to get the details out.”

Directing people outside the criminal justice system is a departure from the traditional role of police officers, Boily and Phelan said. Still, it’s an increasingly common approach across the country, and Phelan said it’s an important way to interrupt what he called a “revolving door” of people leaving and re-entering jails and prisons.

“We need to change the way we’re doing things. That’s – that’s the point.

We need to break from the traditional way we’ve handled these situations.

We need to start doing something different,” said Phelan.

Rochester Regional Health said last Wednesday that its health clinic had not yet seen any referrals under the new diversion program since it started Monday, but Farina said his officers came close to referring a man.

“An elderly person in his 80’s punched a restaurant owner,” Farina said. “He hadn’t taken his meds, didn’t understand his actions.”

“What do we do with that? Do we put him in jail?” Farina asked. “What’s the value of putting an 80-year-old person in jail?”

Dining & Nightlife

To share in the sunshine: saganaki (kefalotyri cheese, lightly sautéed in lemon and sherry) with pita bread at Jines. PHOTO BY RENÉE HEININGER

No apostrophe (or jacket) required Jines 658 PARK AVENUE MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, 7 A.M. TO 10 P.M.; SUNDAY, 7 A.M. TO 8 P.M. 461-1280; JINESRESTAURANT.COM

[ REVIEW ] BY DAVE BUDGAR

On a delightfully warm and sunny spring afternoon that invited al fresco dining, a respite from recent rains, my girlfriend Molly and I arrived for a lunch date at the Rochester diner mainstay, Jines. The spot offers a wide-ranging and inventive menu of tasty homemade food at reasonable prices (that includes many Greek specialties and, of course, breakfast all day), as well as outdoor seating on the prime people-watching corner of Park Avenue and Berkeley Street. Accordingly, the scene bustled around us entertainingly, while the Jines staff pampered us with kind and efficient service, a prelude to a fulfilling lunch.

We started by sharing saganaki ($7.99) — a sliced wedge of kefalotyri cheese, lightly sautéed in lemon and sherry, with grilled pita. The tangy sauce proved an excellent counterpoint to the piquant, salty cheese.

Molly enjoyed a falafel sandwich (with rice, $10.29) in a fluffy pita filled with lettuce, tomato, onion, and house-made tzatziki.

The homemade falafel were delicately spiced, tender inside, crispy outside.

I slurped down a bowl of clam chowder Florentine ($3.99/cup, $4.49/bowl). Smooth and creamy with spinach leaves and chunks of potato, it was thinner than most New England clam chowders, and welcome on that warm day. I followed with a chicken souvlaki sandwich ($10.29), which had large, well-charred pieces of marinated chicken breast, lettuce, tomato, onion, and Jines’s herbaceous tzatziki, wrapped in a pita and accompanied by crispy-tender steak fries.

Despite what the iconic sign overhanging the sidewalk on Park Avenue reads, this upscale Greek diner is “Jines” not “Jine’s.”

George Gines — father of current owner Peter Gines — opened the restaurant at the corner

of Park and Berkeley in 1971 with the name “Jines” — not “Gines” — so people wouldn’t mispronounce it with a hard “g” sound. As for the sign, Peter won’t replace it; he says he fears the city of Rochester would not allow a new sign in this preservation district.

After immigrating from Greece in 1951, George Gines worked for his uncles in a Rochester ice cream factory, then purchased Critic’s ice cream parlor (then located in the Bull’s Head area), which he owned from 1961 to 1972. George expanded Critic’s offerings, adding a grill for hot dogs and hamburgers.

Sensing opportunity in 1971— at a time when no other restaurants existed in the eastern half of Park Avenue — George leased the building at Park and Berkeley, where Jines has thrived ever since.

Peter Gines and his sister Irene worked in the restaurant as teens, and Peter assumed ownership in 1991 after he’d graduated with an economics degree from Hobart and William Smith Colleges and grew impatient with his desk job at Citibank. Peter attributes the restaurant’s continued prosperity to his father, who he says instilled in him a sense of

purpose and dedication, and established the foundation for success.

Jines remains family-oriented; Peter’s two teenage sons help out in the restaurant, and his wife Amy makes the spanakopita, meatloaf, and meatballs. And Peter’s 78-year-old mother still makes Jines’s delicious baklava.

The restaurant offers several homemade soups on any given day, and on a subsequent visit I chose a bowl of classic Greek avgolemono soup ($3.99/cup; $4.49/bowl), which combines chicken, orzo, egg, and lemon. Jines’s version has a delightfully creamy balance of flavors.

It’s tart without bite, thick without being viscous. The delectably messy lamb and feta burger ($9.99) combines ground lamb with Kalamata olives, feta cheese, and herbs. The hot, drippy, juicy wonder is served on a pita and loaded with thinlysliced red onions, lettuce, and tomato, with tzatziki on the side. Normally served with fries, I opted for a side of onion rings (a $3 upcharge, but the best decision I made all day). They were thick, sweet, and crispy, and unlike so many others they stayed intact, bite after bite — among the best I’ve had in Rochester.

On a rainy Sunday morning, Molly, her daughter Jocelyn, and I returned for breakfast. Jocelyn ordered and enthusiastically devoured the thick, crustless cinnamon swirl French toast ($8.29), which Jines makes using a cinnamon roll loaf sourced from Baker Street.

Fluffy and inherently sweet, it needed no syrup (but Jocelyn, being 13, well, you know...). Molly said she loved the moist and dense banana walnut bread French toast ($8.29), which similarly required no syrup, and received none.

I don’t typically get fired up about breakfast fare, but Jines’s house-made hash benedict ($10.49) — two poached eggs over corned beef hash on top of American cheese and a thick English muffin, drizzled with hollandaise sauce — lit me up. The bold and toothsome chopped corned beef had me at first bite. We also all shared a plate of home fries. No matter where, I always request home fries cooked till crispy.

Rarely am I rewarded, but Jines delivered them expertly browned and ideally seasoned, not just salted.

polarizing as Dave Matthews.

Matthews is a solid songwriter with a penchant for hypnotic acoustic guitar hooks, and on Tuesday he’ll be joined by virtuosic lead guitarist Tim Reynolds for an acoustic duo set.

If you dig the late Wesley Willis, then you’ll love Beef Gordon’s debut “Queen Shade & etc,” which comes out on Friday, June 14. This album took guts to record, making haunting electronic tunes with the help of a Casio MT68 keyboard. The clear, overtly smooth tone of the keyboard adds an ominous thrill, and the perfect beats in perfect time add twisted perfection beneath the melodies. On the song “Police Man,” the descending scale is so spooky and serpentine that you half expect Vincent Price to pop out on the other side. Vocally, Gordon sounds cinematically psychotic without having to raise his voice.

CLASSICAL

Bravo Nights: Jessica Ann Best, Boris Van Druff. Little

The sweet country-swing emanating from the grooves of Aaron Lipp and the Slacktones’ brand new single is intoxicating. Is it Lipp’s haphazard phrasing? The soft moan of the pedal steel? The casual 2/4 lope to and fro on the string bass? Yes, yes, yes, and more. It’s the band’s overall delivery, too.

But before you settle in to the bang of Lipp’s honky-tonk twang, there has to be a song there.

And both sides of this single are well-written, beautiful, classic country, full of heartfelt resolve and ache. Having spent some time in Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad and Robert Randolph’s Family Band, Lipp knows how to get behind a song and let it do its work. He and the band know not to horse it into the boat. There’s a little lingering sadness that adds an appropriate and mellow sting.

New name, same sweet songs Sugar Glider WITH S.M. WOLF AND LILY GRAVE MONDAY, JUNE 17 BUG JAR, 219 MONROE AVENUE 9 P.M. | $7 | BUGJAR.COM SOUNDCLOUD.COM/THESUGARGLIDERS [ FEATURE ] BY KATIE HALLIGAN

The Rochester art-folk group formerly known as The Sugar Gliders has been making headway in the local music scene with its irresistible, heart-melting lullabies.

The main duo consists of guitarist-vocalist Roxy Elahi and banjoist-vocalist Alison Lindsey. Recently, Elahi and Lindsey decided to add their friends Ryan Yarmel of Yarms on bass and Zach Kochan of Great Red on guitar. Delivering an insatiable mixture of blues-folk covers and originals, Sugar Glider has a sound that resembles the acoustic, folk-country stylings of the Vermont trio Mountain Man, with tinges of The Everly Brothers.

16 CITY JUNE 12 - 18, 2019

Elahi and Lindsey naturally have a lot in common, both having grown up in West Irondequoit in very musical families.

They even went to the same grade school.

It wasn’t until later in high school that the two actually got to know each other: “We met in art class in 10th grade,” Lindsey says. “We hung out once. Roxy’s dad drove us to see Rusted Root at Water Street Music Hall, and we didn’t hang out again until three years later.” Now, Elahi and Lindsey are best friends and are both celebrating their recent graduation from RIT, with degrees in Ceramics and Graphic Design, respectively.

The duo met Yarmel and Kochan during a gig last summer. “We had mutual friends and had played a show together at The Spirit Room,” Elahi says. “A few months later, Zach and Ryan asked if we wanted to play music together and we said, ‘Heck, yes.’ The rest is history.”

As far as the curious band name, Elahi and Lindsey would jokingly change what they called themselves at each show they played, until something eventually stuck.

“We’d experiment with goofy band names at open mic nights, and this one was our favorite,” Lindsey says. “We tried just Sugar Gliders but we decided we needed the ‘The,’ ” Elahi adds.

Having just experienced the ultimate band name nightmare after discovering a group from the 80’s with the same moniker, the Rochester band has recently updated its original name from The Sugargliders to Sugar Glider, for clarity’s sake.

As visual artists at heart, Sugar Glider recognizes the influential correlation between music and art. “There is a thread that runs between them, even though they are different forms of expression,” Elahi says. “It’s like saying the same thing in a different language.”

Gaining lyrical inspiration by observing their own lives and the work of other artists, the members of Sugar Glider find ways to expand small instrumental motifs or lyrical phrases into flowing, stream-of-consciousness works of art.

When asked what musical influences would surprise their acoustic folk audience, Lindsey cites Cardi B and Motörhead.

Sugar Glider’s full quartet is equally as vibrant as the original duo, emitting a friendly chemistry that’s palpable in each note. Before each performance, the group comes together for a drink and some quality time with each other. As Lindsey puts it: “Usually we need to make a last-minute setlist. We also hydrate, furiously.”

In addition to keeping busy with their last semester at RIT this past spring, the musicians of Sugar Glider have also been working on a debut full-length studio album, which is expected to be released at the end of June.

Entitled “Steal Your Heart,” the new album was recorded at the South Wedge Mission

by Ben Morey over the course of about three months, and features the full quartet. The album’s title comes from a lyric in the band’s song “Witches.” “The song is about coming to a realization of personal power,” Lindsey says.

Many of the songs on the album were written in the summer of 2017. “We were both going through some life transitions,” Lindsey says, who refers to the songs as “a string of anecdotes about self-discovery.”

Looking back, looking ahead [ BLACK PRIDE ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

This past balmy Saturday night, Central Library’s downtown, riverside Rundel Memorial Building — with its Art Deco aesthetic — was the backdrop of “Black Glamour: A Met Gala Affair.” The event was a fundraiser for the Rochester Black Pride festival, and also an opportunity for community members to get gussied up, socialize and dance, and explore the “Stonewall: 50 Years Out” exhibit.

That exhibit, installed on the walls and in several display cases in the library’s main hall, was curated by Rochester City Historian Christine Ridarsky and various community partners. It contains a wealth of material — articles, photographs, and objects — that tells the story of the Stonewall uprising and Rochester’s own journey toward liberation. And it also includes photographs of contemporary LGBTQ community members made by artist Adrian “Gatekeeper” Elim, paired with quotes from the subjects. The extensive 20 CITY JUNE 12 - 18, 2019

display was named one of the best exhibits commemorating Stonewall by The Guardian.

Artist Thomas Warfield, one of the evening’s emcees, underscored the significant history of Stonewall, and the way it informs the present.

“A lot of people like to say that Stonewall was the beginning of the Gay Liberation Movement,” Warfield said. “Well it wasn’t the beginning. But it was when our voice was heard. It wasn’t that people were standing around with signs. No, it was a riot. Their voices had to be lifted a little higher, a little louder, for us to be here today. And it hasn’t stopped.

There’s so much more to do, there’s so much more that we have to do, each one of us.”

Though the wider LGBTQ community has made advancements toward liberation in the past several decades, visibility and safety remain dire issues for trans people and especially trans women of color.

“The trans community is always left out,” said Gatekeeper, who is a lead organizer for Rochester Black Pride Collective. “And black and brown people are always missing from these

narratives, especially when we talk about history, what Pride means and where resistance has come from, and how things actually get changed. It’s not just people lobbying. It’s protest, it’s direct action, it’s organizing on the community level.”

For this reason, Rochester Black Pride Collective balances even its most celebratory parties with discussions of serious work.

Saturday evening, Gatekeeper announced that the Roc Black Pride Collective’s trans group has created the Bernadine Casseus Scholarship — named for the late local black trans icon Mother Kiki — for transgender high school students who enter a hospitality or culinary arts program.

This year’s theme for the Black Pride Festival is “retro,” with a particular focus on 1980s aesthetics, music, and icons. The festival will be held in early September this year so it catches the college crowd; it was previously held in August. More info will be revealed in the months ahead at rocblackpride.com.

THEATER | ‘FOUR MEN ON A COUCH’

FILM | ‘EVA: A-7063’

This weekend Dark Blue Mondaze and {theater}+{náfsi} will present “Four Men on a Couch” at Bread and Water Theater this weekend. The urban comedy by acclaimed playwright Anne L. Thompson-Scretching focuses on four men who are down on their luck. Using a balance of absurd comedy, shock, and tears, “Four Men on a Couch” presents themes such as domestic violence, absent fathers, and alcoholism. Jahaka Mindstorm plays Norman Woods, Reuben J. Tapp is Sydney Peters, Vincenzo McNeill is Ira Pemberton, and Gary Dewitt Marshall is Jesse Reaves. Each actor portrays a drastically different persona — from a hopeless romantic to a volatile police officer — but each attempt to come to terms with the same formidable thing: Adulthood.

Earlier this month we passed the 75th anniversary of D-Day, the pivotal Allied victory during World War II. Surrounding worldwide commemorations were discussions of the importance of recording memories directly from those who lived through that time, before those voices are lost to history. For decades there have been many efforts to obtain and preserve the stories of soldiers, citizens, and survivors. In his documentary “EVA: A-7063,” filmmaker Ted Green recounts the story of Auschwitz survivor and international spokeswoman Eva Mozes Kor. She and her twin sister Miriam were at the age of 10 subjected to experiments by Nazi doctor Josef Mengele.

Narrated by Ed Asner, the film follows not only her struggle for survival but her post-liberation journey through trauma toward healing. This weekend WXXI will present a screening of the film, followed by a discussion with Kor and Green, and a meet and great and book signing.

Friday, June 14 and Saturday, June 15 at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, June 16 at 2 p.m. at Bread & Water Theater, 127 West Main Street. $15 advance, $20 at door. 917-512-3757; mpactoday.com.

SPECIAL EVENT | BRIGHTON ECO-FAIR

SPECIAL EVENT | ‘CULTIVATING CREATIVE AGENCY’

The Brighton Farmer’s Market will this weekend welcome nonprofits and green vendors as part of the Brighton Eco-Fair.

The event is organized by ColorBrightonGreen.org, a non-profit dedicated to residential energy reduction following in the steps of other towns and cities across the country. The fair seeks to raise awareness about climate change and how people can help in both big and small ways.

Film

Bill Murray, Chloë Sevigny, and Adam Driver in “The Dead Don’t Die.” PHOTO COURTESY FOCUS FEATURES

The end of the world as we know it “The Dead Don’t Die” (R), DIRECTED BY JIM JARMUSCH OPENS FRIDAY, JUNE 14 [ PREVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

Zombies have long been our most versatile movie monsters. From their first screen appearances — influenced by the Western world’s myopic glimpses of Haitian folklore — to George Romero’s more politicallyminded spin on the genre, the lumbering ghouls have been convenient metaphorical stand-ins for the societal fears du jour.

Over the decades zombie stories have been used by filmmakers to comment on atomic destruction, capitalism, xenophobia, racism, global contagion, and so much more.

But the new zombie comedy “The Dead Don’t Die” suggests that it’s society itself that’s

currently making writer-director Jim Jarmusch most apprehensive, and the film ultimately offers up his rather bleak appraisal of the modern world.

The story takes place in the small town of Centerville (“A Real Nice Place”). It’s a peaceful community, but one that shows subtle signs of discord even before the undead start popping from their graves. From the outset, its citizens are aware strange things are happening, repeatedly commenting to one another that nothing is normal anymore, though none seem particularly motivated to do anything about it.

The plot centers on the members of the Centerville police department: Chief Cliff Robertson (Bill Murray), his second-incommand Ronnie Peterson (Adam Driver), and officer Mindy Morrison (Chlöe Sevigny).

As we follow Cliff and Ronnie on their rounds, we’re introduced to many more of the town’s inhabitants, including comics

We’ve got a bonus review online from Adam Lubitow. / MOVIES 24 CITY JUNE 12 - 18, 2019

store clerk-gas station attendant Bobby Wiggins (Caleb Landry Jones), sweet-natured mechanic Hank Thompson (Danny Glover), and Zelda Winston (a delightfully daffy Tilda Swinton), the new town mortician with an odd curiosity and a way with a samurai sword.

Tom Waits also pops up as an unruly oddball known as Hermit Bob. And RZA stops by as a delivery man for Wu-PS, who advises the characters that the world is perfect, and reminds them to “appreciate the details.”

It’s a message that most of its characters remain oblivious to. Jarmusch populates the rest of the town with recognizable faces, though many of their appearances amount to little more than cameos. These early scenes maintain the director’s typical affection for his characters, making it both absurd and deeply troubling when their existence turns into a waking nightmare.

The script provides the obligatory half-assed reason for the dead suddenly rising again — in

this case due to Earth shifting off its axis as a result of polar fracking — but for the most part, Jarmusch sticks with established mythology.

The adherence to genre tropes is slightly disappointing coming from a director who so skillfully managed to put a unique stamp on the vampire movie with his wonderfully odd 2013 feature “Only Lovers Left Alive.”

He does put a slight twist on his vision of the living dead: Aside from their hunger for human flesh, the mindless hordes maintain an obsessive desire for whatever worldly pleasures served as their preferred distraction while they were still alive. One groans for “Xanax,” another for “chardonnay,” a group of children wail about “toys.” For all its gleeful affection for the genre, there’s an underlying melancholy to the sight of these lost souls clinging desperately to the last vestiges of their former lives.

The script is peppered with clever details and offbeat meta-humor, from Driver’s character carrying a “Star Wars” keychain to the diegetically-heard title song leading one character to ponder why it seems so familiar.

Like most of the film’s low-key comedy, the response he gets — “It’s the theme song.”

— is enough to earn a chuckle. Along the way, Jarmusch takes aim at some easy targets, including the sight of Steve Buscemi’s dickish Farmer Miller sporting a red cap with the phrase “Make America White Again.”

Namechecking Romero among countless other in-jokes and references, the entire film is as much a loving homage to the horror genre as it is a lament for a civilization on the brink.

But I admit to having a hard time wrapping my head around seeing Jarmusch move from the gentle humanism of “Paterson” to a worldview so despairing about human nature just three years later.

That last film was an ode to the understated beauty of a life lived simply. Like RZA, “Paterson” wanted us to appreciate the details; meanwhile “The Dead Don’t Die” seems resigned to the idea that even those simple pleasures ultimately don’t matter in a “fucked up world” like ours. Seeing that shift made my heart hurt. But then, maybe that was Jarmusch’s intention: if he can make it hurt, it’s a reminder we’re at least still feeling something.
