Special ed and the school board

It was with interest and hope that I initially began reading your article “Another Special Ed Reboot.” However, that interest and hope quickly changed to confusion while reading the comments from board members Van White and Willa Powell.

White, with 11 1/2 years on the board, and Powell, with 18 1/2, appeared to take no ownership for the deplorable conditions of the special ed program in the Rochester school district.

All of the issues White and Powell articulated are critically real, but neither board member seemed to own the problem.

I take issue with the statement suggesting that “school board members don’t operate schools; they hire superintendents to do that.” I wonder where the buck stops in the Rochester school district? White and Powell seem to take no responsibility for the years of hiring “experts” who were unable to “improve things.”

You will not find me arguing that district staff, from the superintendent down through the ranks to teachers and paraprofessionals, are not responsible for the success of our students.

However, is it not the role of the school board to hire and insure that all staff are doing their respective best for all children?

That is why I am confused by the responses that both White and Powell made in their comments.

With a combined tenure of over three decades as members of the Rochester Board of Education, it perplexes me that neither board member, who it appears for years have cashed their paychecks as board members (yes they are salaried), took responsibility for the ongoing failure of the district’s ability to comply with state and federal special education regulations.

JUNE 13 - 19 , 2018

As an advocate for the Police Accountability Board in Rochester, I am writing to correct several misconceptions perpetuated in Dr.

Cedric Alexander’s comments in City’s article “Alexander: Policecitizen partnership is key.” Dr. Alexander, other city officials, and the article have repeated misinformation with regards to 1) state law and disciplinary power, 2) the Locust Club (police) collective bargaining agreement, 3) PAB access to officer personnel records, and 4) relationship building between the police and the community.

1) Dr. Alexander claims that “reform supporters” need to understand that review boards “do not have the ability to sanction or discipline” police under New York state law. This is false.

Section 75 of Civil Service Law outlines the procedures for disciplining public employees in New York State: “The hearing upon such charges shall be held by the officer or body having the power to remove the person against whom such charges are preferred.” Therefore, Civil Service Law explicitly acknowledges that a governmental body such as the proposed Police Accountability Board can have disciplinary authority.

To date, neither Rochester’s corporation counsel, nor any other public officials, have been able to specifically cite any state law or case that would prevent Rochester from enacting a PAB with disciplinary power.

Further, PAB disciplinary power is absolutely essential given the long history in Rochester of officers escaping punishment for misconduct under the current process. (See The Case for an Independent Police Accountability System: Transforming the Civilian Review Process in Rochester, New York).

2) The City article stated that new oversight needs to be “negotiated with the police union.”

However, the New York State Court of Appeals has recently held that cities can make changes to police disciplinary procedures despite a conflicting collective bargaining agreement. (See Police Benevolent Ass’n of New York State Troopers, Inc. v. Div. of New York State Police 11 N.Y.3d 96 (2008) and City of Schenectady v. New York State Pub. Employment Relations Bd. 30 N.Y.3d 109 (2017).)

Therefore, Rochester City Council has the power to enact a PAB and strengthen the disciplinary procedures without requiring the consent of the Locust Club.

3) The article states that state law says “police officers’ personnel records are confidential.” While it is true that New York’s Civil Rights Law §50 prevents officer disciplinary records from being released to the public without a court order, this would not hinder the proposed Police Accountability Board, because under §50-a(4), government agencies are allowed access to officer disciplinary records in furtherance of the agency’s official functions.

Therefore, just as New York City’s Civilian Complaint Review Board and Syracuse’s Citizen Review Board have access to officer disciplinary records, the proposed Rochester PAB would legally have access to officer disciplinary records.

4) Finally, Dr. Alexander told City that “building partnerships between police and the community” is difficult because “the perception is that police have gone overboard.” Yet, the problem surpasses mere perceptions. Real lives have been lost and damaged.

Ultimately, trust is built upon mutual respect, consent, communication, and action.

It is built upon people having equitable levels of power. Police have and have had an inordinate amount of power in Rochester for a very long time.

If Dr. Alexander and other public officials really value “police-citizen partnerships,” they must prioritize a Police Accountability Board that is an independent agency of city government with the power to investigate complaints of police misconduct, with subpoena power to compel the production of evidence and witnesses, with disciplinary power to ensure that officers are actually held accountable for their misconduct, and with the power to evaluate systemic patterns, practices, policies and procedures to prevent misconduct from happening in the first place.

A strong PAB would be a good first step toward giving the community more equitable control over how they are policed. Until the community has such equitable control, a true “partnership” is impossible.

ENDORSEMENT

For Congress: Morelle For the Rochester area – and for the country – an exceptionally important election takes place June 26: a primary to choose the Democratic candidate for Louise Slaughter’s Congressional seat.

While only Democrats can vote, for anyone troubled by the actions of President Trump and the Republican Congress, keeping Slaughter’s seat Democratic is vital.

While this seat has been considered safe for Democrats, it isn’t. It wasn’t in 2014, when Slaughter narrowly won re-election, and it probably won’t be this November, when the winner of the Democratic primary will face Republican-Conservative-Reform candidate Jim Maxwell, a neurosurgeon said to be putting a substantial amount of his own money into the race.

Four people are competing for the Democratic nomination: former television journalist Rachel Barnhart, City Council member Adam McFadden, State Assembly Majority Leader Joe Morelle, and Brighton Town Board member Robin Wilt.

We endorse Morelle.

On key issues, there’s little difference among the four candidates. All have progressive views on health care, LGBTQ rights, women’s rights, the environment, gun control, immigration.

They’re all smart, and they’re passionate about issues and public service.

Ultimately, our decision rested on two questions: 1) Who has the best chance at winning the general election in November?

2) Who would be most effective in Congress?

On the second question, we believe that Morelle and Wilt would be the most effective. Wilt is a newcomer to the Brighton Town Board, but she has accomplishments there, and she has a long history of building coalitions around such things as single-payer health care.

Morelle has a big advantage because of his long experience in local and state politics and his political connections and influence, both in New York and among members of the Democratic caucus in Washington.

Most important, we’re convinced that Morelle has the best chance of winning in November.

The general election won’t be a cakewalk. Not only will the Democratic candidate face a heavily funded opponent, but the district includes both the predominantly progressive city and suburbs that are moderate to conservative.

Wilt is a strong candidate. She’s been endorsed by the statewide New York Progressive Action Network and the local

To resist President Trump, it’s essential that Democrats hold this seat. Morelle is their best chance to do that. grassroots organization ROCitizen. In her months on the Brighton Town Board, she has pushed for diversity and inclusion measures, sponsored Community Choice Aggregation energy legislation, and helped coordinate the push for dedicated bike lanes on East Avenue in Brighton and Pittsford.

But Morelle has a record of accomplishment at the state level that includes shepherding the state’s gun-law reform through the Assembly, helping secure state funding for Rochester-area projects, and serving on the Finger Lakes Regional Economic Development Council.

Critics say Morelle’s experience in the Assembly, on the County Legislature, and chairing the Monroe Democratic Committee makes him too much of a political insider. But that experience gives him a depth in both politics and elected office that the other candidates lack. That’s important. Slaughter’s effectiveness in Congress was crucial for this region. Her successor will need to follow her example.

Among some voters, Wilt will have the advantage of being an outsider at a time when many Americans are fed up with current politics. But Republican Jim Maxwell is an outsider, too. Both of them have the handicap of low name recognition, but Maxwell would likely be able to outspend Wilt and overcome that problem.

What about Barnhart and McFadden?

Both have strong records of their own, and neither is afraid to step into a fight. As a reporter, Barnhart was a veritable bulldog.

She knows how government works, and she knows how to dig out and expose its shortcomings. There’s a big difference, though, between having a journalist’s strong investigating and advocacy skills and working with other elected officials to accomplish something. continues on page 7 rochestercitynewspaper.com

Nazareth college adjuncts decide to join a union

Arts series continues at Parcel 5

The Parcel 5 Community Programmers series continues Sunday, June 17, with a performance by Young Living Dancers. 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Parcel 5 downtown.

The series pools donations by “programmers” to host unsanctioned arts events at Parcel 5, in an effort to show what arts city residents want in the downtown space, organizer Ray Ray Mitrano has said in the past.

JUNE 13 - 19 , 2018

Earlier this year, Nazareth College adjunct faculty members rallied for higher pay and job security. They were joined by supporters from the student body and the full-time faculty. FILE PHOTO

Nazareth College’s adjunct faculty voted overwhelmingly last week to join Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 200United. The vote, held among adjuncts who taught during the past academic year, was 3-to-1 in favor.

Efforts to unionize began about a year ago. Earlier this year, an organizing committee submitted a petition to Nazareth President Daan Braveman, and a rally drew support from many Nazareth faculty members, students, and some local politicians.

Adjuncts complained that they had no job security from one semester to the next and that even though many hold advanced degrees, they couldn’t earn a living wage. They also argued that students were being shortchanged because they pay for a private school’s tuition but receive instruction from many part-timers.

But Nazareth’s administrators said earlier this year that the institution

is not overly reliant on adjuncts and that adjuncts allow for flexibility in staffing for programs that often change. And, they said, the college may need adjuncts for specific and limited types of instruction.

After the vote in favor of organizing, Braveman released a statement saying that the administration respects the adjuncts’ decision.

“Nazareth values the contributions of our part-time faculty,” Braveman said. “These talented academics and practitioners are part of the fabric of our institution and integral to fulfilling Nazareth’s educational mission. We are committed to providing a rewarding and positive work environment for our parttime faculty, along with all of our faculty and staff. Nazareth remains committed to preserving our positive and collaborative culture in service to our students and community.”

The next step for the organizers will be to determine priorities to take to negotiations in the fall.

Even if City Council approves a measure that would tighten the building height limit along a section of Mt. Hope Avenue, a controversial apartment project at the corner of Mt. Hope and Gold Street will proceed, says a city official.

DEVELOPMENT | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Mt. Hope braces for big build City Council is expected to vote on legislation that would change the zoning code by limiting the height of new buildings along a stretch of Mt. Hope Avenue that is mostly residential, with the exception of a chiropractor office.

But even if Council approves the measure, it won’t stop a highly controversial project from being built that could change the character of the neighborhood. The five-story, 63,500 square foot, mixed-use building called the Lofts on Gold Street would be built at 1176 Mt. Hope Avenue and 10 Gold Street, a site that’s on the edge of a quiet neighborhood of single family and small multi-family homes.

The developer, 10 Gold Street Properties, LLC, is planning to build 2,100 square feet of commercial space on the first floor and a 20-space parking area. Floors two through five would have 32 residential units with a total of 92 bedrooms.

Residents are extremely concerned about the size and height of the building, which they say doesn’t fit in with the neighborhood. And they’re concerned about parking, which they say is already in short supply because of the neighborhood’s proximity to the University of Rochester.

The project has caused such an outcry that it prompted Adam McFadden, City Councilmember for the south district, to submit the new legislation. He also wrote a letter to Richard Feldman, president of the University of Rochester, in an attempt to get him to stand with neighbors against the project. But nothing came of it, McFadden says.

“It’s too big for that location,” McFadden says. “It just doesn’t fit in.

Imagine being in your home and living near something like that.”

Under current zoning regulations, the five-story building is permitted. If Council approves the change, the height of future construction would be limited to three stories on the east side of Mt. Hope Avenue between May and Gold Streets. The Planning Commission has unanimously recommended that Council approve the measure at its June 19 meeting.

“It won’t stop the project,” says Lagonegro. “The plans were in before this legislation.” And the developer made some changes to the plans to make the project compliant with current zoning codes, she says. The developer has already demolished a two-story building at the site.

Dan Hurley, president of the Upper Mt. Hope Neighborhood Association isn’t so sure that the project has cleared all the hurdles for approval.

He says residents in the area have been fighting the project for about two years. At that time, their attorney The developer’s renderings of the proposed Gold Street Lofts. managed to stop the IMAGE COURTESY CITY OF ROCHESTER developer’s original next decade.

Jordan workers push for contract

Anthony L. Jordan Health Center workers picket their employer last week. PHOTO BY JEREMY MOULE

As a few dozen Anthony L. Jordan Health Center employees marched back and forth in front of their workplace last week, they made a few things clear: they love their jobs, they want to get back to caring for their patients, and they want to be treated fairly by management.

The 65 or so Jordan Health Center workers represented by 1199SEIU have been trying to get a new contract with their employer since November, but talks stalled and the National Labor Relations Board brought in a mediator to help resolve the conflict. The stalemate continues, however, and the workers – ranging from medical records clerks to dental hygienists and typically earning between $15 and $20 an hour – went on a three-day strike last week.

“It’s not like we want a lot,” says Traci Gruschow, a registered dental hygienist who’s worked at the center for 10 years.

“We’re just asking to be taken care of.”

Mariann Toney, a nutritionist assistant at Jordan Health Center’s Upper Falls Boulevard WIC office, says this is the first time in her 30 years working at the center that workers have gone on strike. Their main concern is preserving their health-care benefits, though they are also asking for a modest raise, she says.

And it’s the workers’ health benefits that have, in a rather convoluted way, become the sticking point. At the center 6 CITY

of the standoff is the federal mediator’s last proposal, which the union members voted in favor of, but which the center hasn’t accepted. Both sides seem to be in agreement on most of the terms except the timing of a final raise. Administrators of the nonprofit health center want that final raise to hit six months later than union leaders.

The mediator’s proposal sets a wage freeze for the rest of 2018, which Jordan

Morelle continues from page 3

officials requested for budgetary reasons and which the union agreed to. It calls for a 4 percent increase at the start of 2019, a 2 percent increase at the start of 2020, and another 1 percent increase on July 1, 2020.

The timing of the final 1 percent is necessary to pay for the workers’ health insurance, says Bruce Popper, regional vice president of 1199SEIU. The Jordan Center workers are tied into a health care fund with 1199SEIU-represented workers at Strong Memorial Hospital. The arrangement allows the center to save substantially on benefits costs and allows for the workers to have an enviable insurance package.

Jordan and Strong make contributions to the fund based on a percentage of payroll, and the figure is based on threeyear contracts with the insurers, Popper says. The July 1, 2020, raise is necessary to balance out Jordan’s contribution, which is proportionally knocked out of balance with Strong’s contribution because of the wage freeze this year, Popper says.

But the center is resisting and proposed shifting the final raise to the start of 2021.

Committing to additional salary costs in 2020 isn’t responsible given some financial threats the center faces, says Dr. Janice Harbin, its president.

The state cut one of the center’s funding sources, and officials are bracing for possible federal cuts to Medicaid and Medicare, which provide coverage to 85 percent of Jordan’s patients, Harbin says.

As part of its mission, Jordan doesn’t consider a patient’s ability to pay when it provides services, she says.

“I have to be mindful of whatever dollars I may have or may not have,” Harbin says.

The workers have received support from Mayor Lovely Warren, City Council President Loretta Scott, City Council Vice President Adam McFadden, City Council member Michael Patterson, and Assembly members Joe Morelle and Harry Bronson.

They’ve also received support from Father Laurence Tracy, a Catholic priest with deep ties to Rochester’s Latino community. Tracy served on Jordan’s board for 30 years.

The union and some of its supporters went to a meeting of the Jordan Health Center’s board last week to urge the trustees to accept the mediator’s proposal. But the board took no action, leaving the issue unresolved. And last week, Harbin called on the union members to either accept its proposal with a later final raise or to leave out the 1 percent bump and have the contract end with 2020.

“We have put our best offer on the table,” Harbin says.

McFadden says he will be a voice for the voiceless in Washington, and he has been that on City Council, pushing on issues ranging from poverty and children’s needs to police conduct.

He has valuable experience in city government and in lobbying members of Congress, but his legislative experience is no match for Morelle’s.

We’re choosing Morelle over Wilt with some reluctance. Morelle would do a good job in Congress, but he represents the Democratic Party status quo at a time when the party is changing. Wilt represents where the party is headed – and where it needs to head.

Prime examples of the status quo’s problems: Morelle continued to support former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, despite the accusations against Silver. And Morelle was dismissive of an Assembly staff member’s sexual-abuse charges against a Silver aide.

Another problem: If Morelle is elected, we’ll be sending yet another white man to Congress when Congress badly needs more women and more people of color.

It’s essential, however, that Democrats hold this seat. Active Democrats in this district outnumber active Republicans, but there are many active unaffiliated voters, and Republicans are generally more effective than Democrats at turning out voters.

Money has far too much influence in politics. And yet, as Morelle himself points out, this is the system we have. Republicans will have no compunction about spending money on this campaign, and state and national Republicans sense a chance to pick up a seat Democrats have held for decades.

Morelle is highly qualified. His experience and connections in politics will make him an effective member of Congress. His connections and experience as a fundraiser mean he’ll have the money to mount a strong campaign in the general election.

With Slaughter’s death, Rochester lost a powerful, successful representative.

Whoever replaces her will start miles behind her in influence and effectiveness.

But if Morelle is elected, he’ll take office already knowing quite a few of the people he’ll serve with. He’ll know how things work.

And crucially, he’ll help other Congressional Democrats resisting Donald Trump and the complicit Republicans. Democrats must not lose Slaughter’s seat, and Morelle stands the best chance of holding it. rochestercitynewspaper.com

Waterside eats [ CHOW HOUND ] BY KATIE LIBBY

Spring has finally arrived in Rochester and people are already complaining that it’s too damn hot. Durand Eastman Beach isn’t even open yet, but people are already flocking there to submerge at least half their body in the still frigid Lake Ontario and soak up that crucial Vitamin D that we don’t get enough of for most of the year. The temperature is always cooler by the water and luckily Rochester and the surrounding areas have plenty of wateradjacent restaurants where you can grab a seat on the patio and complain that it’s too cold. CITY has rounded up just a few of these waterside restaurants. Name your favorite spot in the comments!

If you’re heading to Webster, there are two places on Lake Road that will satisfy your waterfront dining needs — but remember that you can’t get there from the Irondequoit Bay outlet bridge as it’s closed for the season.

Having grown up in Webster, I’ve been going to The Bayside Pub (279 Lake Road) since I was a teenager, but now I

can afford more than French fries and a soda. The pub has an extensive patio and is a favorite haunt for boaters to dock and grab a bite to eat. On Sundays and Mondays you can order the Clam Shack Platter ($15.99) that gets you a pound of clams, a quarter pound of Andouille sausage, shrimp, corn on the cob, and salt potatoes. The outdoor grill is fired up on Wednesdays for barbeque specials like a half rack of ribs and chicken — other options for grilled fare are available all summer long. Wash it all down with a cold Three Heads Too Kind IPA or another of the available draft or bottle selections. The Bayside Pub is open Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 9 p.m. The bar is open until midnight with the exception of Friday and Saturday when it is open until 2 a.m. baysidepubwebster.com.

Just a bit down Lake Road you’ll find Castaways on the Lake (244 Lake Road).

Not only does Castaways have tons of outdoor tables, there’s also an inviting

row of Adirondack chairs right near the water so you can grab a drink from the bar and chill the eff out. The menu is extensive but the restaurant is well known for its Blackened Prime Rib ($32-$71, depending on the size of the cut) and its seafood. Steamed littleneck clams, steamed Cajun crawfish, and seafood bisque are all on the menu. Paired with a dirty martini (the filthier the better, make it taste like the ocean), it sounds like an ideal afternoon on the water to me. Castaways is open Monday through Thursday from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 10 p.m. castawaysonthelake.com.

Aladdin’s (8 Schoen Place) has been a staple for Mediterranean food in Rochester since 1980, and the Pittsford location has the added bonus of being situated right on the Erie Canal. The upstairs patio is a favorite spot of mine to dive into the vegetarian combo platter ($10.25 for choice of three, $12.25 for four). I typically go with the hummus, falafel, dolmades, and spanakopita and

pair it with a glass of white wine.

Aladdin’s at Schoen Place is open Monday and Tuesday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 9 p.m. myaladdins.com.

If you’re sticking around the city, there are a couple of places I would recommend to catch great views of the mighty Genesee River. The outdoor terrace of the Genesee Brew House (25 Cataract Street) offers views of High Falls and the Genesee River Gorge — a great place to tuck into one of the giant Bavarian pretzels ($10) served with either beer mustard, beer cheese sauce, or maple bacon peanut butter sauce.

The Genesee Ruby Red Kolsch is, in my opinion, the official the drink of the spring/summer, and the brewery is currently preparing another giant batch since the first sold out in record time.

The Brew House hours are Sunday through Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Thursday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. geneseebeer. com/brewhouse.

The patio at Pane Vino on the River (175 North Water Street) also offers views of the Genesee while you enjoy lunch or dinner. In addition to seafood and steak specials the menu features Italian classics like Escarole and Beans and Spaghetti Carbonara. The Spicy Sicilian Calamari ($15) combines flash fried calamari with roasted red peppers, Kalamata olives, pepperoncini, scallions, basil, and Asiago cheese. On the cocktail menu you’ll find the Sunday Sauce made with basil vodka (infused in-house), organic tomato juice, fresh herbs and spices, and garnished with a mini meatball. If you want something on the lighter side, I recommend the 175 Martini, made with Hendricks Gin, St. Germain, lemon juice, and topped with Champagne. Pane Vino on the River is open for lunch Monday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Dinner hours are Monday through Wednesday from 5 to 9 p.m., Thursday through Saturday from 5 to 10 p.m., and Sunday from 4 to 9 p.m. panevinoontheriver175.com.

[ HIP-HOP ] Grandmaster Flash is a visionary legend — he may not be one of the founding fathers of hip-hop, but he’s most definitely a pioneer in DJ turntablism. Given his name, Flash, for the quickness of his hands while scratching records, he created the art of looping beats and transitioning through records without a pause. That loop was used to extend a beat, typically from disco tracks, so that emcees could rap over it.

Without his creative ingenuity, hip-hop would not be what it is today. — BY AMANDA FINTAK

The Black Dahlia Murder WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13 MONTAGE MUSIC HALL, 50 CHESTNUT STREET 5:15 P.M. | $25-$30 | THEMONTAGEMUSICHALL.COM; FACEBOOK.COM/THEBLACKDAHLIAMURDEROFFICIAL [ METAL ] It’s hard to believe The Black Dahlia Murder has been at it for 16 years and seven albums. Doesn’t playing this loud and fast for so long take a toll on the body? This death metal band from Michigan covers all the metal subgenres as well and dishes them out like a 90-minute hardcore punch to the face. It’s guitar driven — no duh — but it’s the pummeling your guts get from the drums that gets me. Elizabeth Short approved. White Chapel, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Aversions Clown, and Shadow of Intent are also on this show. — BY FRANK DE BLASE PHOTO COURTESY GREG CANNON

Ruby Velle & The Soulphonics WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20 GEORGE EASTMAN MUSEUM GARDEN, 900 EAST AVENUE 6 P.M. | $8-$10 | EASTMAN.ORG; RUBYVELLEANDTHESOULPHONICS.COM [ SOUL ] There’s plenty to sing the blues about these

days, but chances are, the blues never made you feel this good. Ruby Velle and her Atlanta-based band, The Soulphonics, are the modern riposte to a long neglected, vintage Motown sound. Velle’s velvet pipes sit snug between the caterwaul of the tenor sax and the sweet lament of a muted trumpet, creating the type of sound wall that Phil Spector would be proud of. You can call it soul or funk or jazz, but whatever it is, it’ll make your hair stand up on end. — BY KATIE PRESTON

Transviolet SATURDAY, JUNE 16 BUG JAR, 219 MONROE AVENUE 8 P.M. | $10-$12 | BUGJAR.COM; TRANSVIOLET.COM [ POP ] Originally formed online through a musician

networking site, the synth-pop four-piece Transviolet created music Postal Service-style for a year before relocating to Los Angeles to give it a go in person. Lead vocalist Sarah McTaggart sings catchy melodies in a bright and angelic whisper, while the lyrical concepts are dark and seductive. McTaggart’s vocals are complemented by starry electronic dance beats from the guitar, drums, and synth, painting a picture of speeding around late at night while all the neon lights and stars flash past your car.

Transviolet’s music is ethereal and alluring, written with deep intent and no fluff, complete with epic bass drops and swirling vocal effects. Magic Bronson and The Demos will also play. — BY KATIE HALLIGAN

Upward Groove. Temple Bar & Grille, 109 East Ave. 2326000. templebarandgrille. com. 10 p.m.

Yup, I hear a marimba in there. And some electric violin, too. But that isn’t what makes the diversity on this album so captivating. On his new release, “Conscience,” Boston by way of Rochester singersongwriter Sam Nitsch takes the listener on a pleasant stroll down a musical path of oddity and soul as if it were Penny Lane.

The music is light-hearted fare peppered with personality and cleverness that packs a wonder-filled wallop and kick. Nitsch works it all out in dynamic territory, not just within the tune selections and how they are laid out like chapters and fall in together, but within the goal posts that frame the songs’ beginning, middle, and end. And his voice doesn’t cloud the story. Rather, it tells the story even further.

The production on “Conscience” is incredibly lush in its floating orchestral layering.

It’s the sound of gossamer wings but with added space, speed, and thoughtful traction.

The song “Find Me” is a good example of Nitsch’s angular dynamics that can be found within the albums entirety. His bridges have bridges, like verses within verses. This is an excellent record. The variety of instrumentation, clever arrangements, topics, and execution make “Conscience” a prime candidate ripe for multiple spins.

Ed Iseley “Facade” Self-released ediseleyexperience.com

I have a deep appreciation for artists who deliver their message couched in the lyrical trick of metaphor and double entendre. Now, Rochester musician Ed Iseley is one of those straightforward types who states the not-so-obvious as if it were. “A problem’s only big when it’s mine,” he sings with his warm, reedy voice on “The Pace,” the fourth cut on his fresh new album, “Facade.”

Iseley spends most of “Facade” strapped to an acoustic guitar, which keeps the music from getting away from him volume-wise. But he doesn’t cop out to just strumming up and down like a dying locomotive, and instead builds his songs atop a rhythmic hook or beat. The energy sneaks up on you and pounces due to Iseley’s pervading cool. The cat kind of reminds me of Gordon Lightfoot The whole album is a mellow strain despite its overall driving quality. I mean the tune “We’ll Get By” is built around an inverted Bo Diddley beat. It’s got a killer harp solo in there, too. It stacks up so nice.

Rhythm in mind Calicoco WITH SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE, FULL BODY, STRAW HAT MONDAY, JUNE 18 BUG JAR, 219 MONROE AVENUE 9 P.M. | $8-$10 | BUGJAR.COM; CALICOCO.BANDCAMP.COM [ FEATURE ] BY FRANK DE BLASE

On her new album, “Float,” Giana Caliolo, who performs as Calicoco, wields her big guitar like a paint brush to further color the nighttime sky. Her voice is unassumingly pretty and innocent, and her at-times gentle songs serve to pull the listener out of their shell and into her world.

“Float” comes out July 6 on both Dadstache and Records of Choice. For the most part, the 28-year-old singer-songwriter treats this endeavor as a solo pursuit, although there is some invited help in the mix.

“It’s definitely a solo project,” Caliolo says.

“But it’s also had some hands on it, like Andy Baker. He’s been the drummer and one of my best friends since college.”

Caliolo and Baker both played in the band Buckets while in school together, and with 12 CITY JUNE 13 - 19, 2018

Baker now living in Baltimore, the two get together whenever they can. Baker drums on the majority of the tunes on “Float,” Caliolo says.

It’s all her own music, but she’s had help from Baker as well as “Float” producer Matt Battle, who also drummed on the new album and did some synth and auxiliary stuff. And there was Kamara Robideau who played bass. Caliolo is happy with the results.

“I think it’s come along nicely with the support of these other people,” she says.

Whether you consider it solo or not, Caliolo’s songs have a sweet magnetism.

“When I first started writing this stuff in 2013 I guess it was maybe ‘singersongwriter,’” Caliolo says. “But I think it’s changed a lot over time. I’m always thinking about other instruments — drums especially. I’m also a drummer, so I always have rhythm in mind. I have trouble hearing the bass, but I can definitely hear drums while I’m writing.”

It’s these drums, in and out of her head, and Caliolo’s reverb-soaked electric guitar that really sets her apart. Her songs themselves are lovely and tempered with attitude, and it’s that added push that makes her all the more compelling.

Caliolo says she hoarded the material that she would eventually perform as Calicoco while she played in other bands. She kept it to herself, for herself.

“After I finished with Buckets,” she says, “I sang and played drums in Secret Pizza and drums in Pony Hand. And I was writing this stuff. I was writing for myself, a little bit like a diary, just putting into words everything that was going on in my life. Nothing monumental: life changes, love, learning how to be good to myself, to deal with anxiety.

Learning how to cope with the everyday.”

Part of this everyday is her writing process.

Whether it’s in the shower or the attic, she can’t envision her life any other way.

“Music is the most important handle on my life,” Caliolo says. “I don’t know what I’d do without it. It’s the best. It’s very much a creative outlet, an outlet for stress, depression. I think I write normally when I’m practicing, playing upstairs in my attic. If I feel something good on guitar, I’ll start singing and see if words that make sense come out. I’ve also written lyrics in the shower, it’s the most relaxing place. There I get into a kind of meditative space.”

Come on, now. It can’t be all good, this music racket. But Caliolo insists. “I can’t really see the downside to music,” she says. “I can really only see the good things about it.”

SOUL | MINGO FISHTRAP

Mingo Fishtrap is a six-piece soul-funk band that has been titillating audiences around the world for more than a decade. Based in Austin, Texas, Mingo Fishtrap performs with jocund tenacity. Singer-guitarist Roger Blevins Jr. has an airy and scratchy gospel voice that resembles Curtis Mayfield with a greater vocal range. Every one of the players demonstrates world-class chops on their instrument, and the combined vocal harmonies of Blevins, keyboardist Dane Farnsworth, and drummer Chip Vayenas are so in sync that they slide up and down together like the fingers of a blues guitar player. Mingo Fishtrap plays soulful melodies about love and perseverance that tug at the heartstrings.

Mingo Fishtrap will perform as part of Park Point’s Concert in the Square with The Campbell Brothers, The English Project, Vanishing Sun, and Brendon Caroselli on Friday, June 15, at 400 Park Point Drive. 6 p.m. Free. facebook. com/ParkPointConcertintheSquare; mingofishtrap.com.

An untitled photograph from David Levinthal’s “Wild West” series. PHOTO PROVIDED

It’s a (white) man’s world “David Levinthal: War, Myth, Desire” THROUGH JANUARY 1, 2019 GEORGE EASTMAN MUSEUM, 900 EAST AVENUE TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, 10 A.M. TO 5 P.M.; SUNDAY, 11 A.M. TO 5 P.M. $5-$15; MEMBERS AND CHILDREN UNDER 4 FREE | 327-4800; EASTMAN.ORG [ REVIEW ] BY AMANDA CHESTNUT

The exhibit of David Levinthal’s photographic works at the George Eastman Museum, “War, Myth, Desire,” follows the museum’s 2014 showing of monumental photos from his “History” series. This current exhibit is a retrospective, created with the intention of both highlighting the recent major acquisition of Levinthal’s works by the museum and also exploring the overarching themes present throughout his 40-year career.

Levinthal chose the title “War, Myth, Desire” to also reflect some defining and enduring 16 CITY JUNE 13 - 19, 2018

themes of the human experience. While the exhibit showcases his photographs of toys, the framing of the work calls into question what Levinthal has to say about his chosen themes.

Dozens of Levinthal’s images from several of his major series are presented in the museum’s Main Galleries without an artist’s statement and with minimal curatorial commentary. This avoids giving viewers an overt directive and narrative while it allows individual viewers’ reaction to the images to become the central part of the exhibit, rather than the images themselves. Throughout the show, staged and photographed army men, Barbie dolls, and other intricate figurines are used to explore some of the basest parts of American history and popular culture, presented from the perspective of the white male gaze. The audience is challenged to decide: are the works critiquing or reiterating these themes? Are they deconstructing or reinforcing stereotypes?

Icons scattered through the exhibition space alert viewers to an accompanying podcast that can be accessed online or over the phone, in which carefully selected questions are posed to a bevy of experts in visual and social fields. Aside from this

resource the museum is also offering some upcoming related programs including two curator’s gallery talks this summer and winter and an artist’s talk on November 1.

If the themes of war, myth, and desire provide a construct for the exhibition, the presence of large Polaroids and larger inkjet prints that are saturated with color dictate the show’s direction. Though the first room is filled with Levinthal’s earlier works, which are smaller in scale and more subtle in their color than his later and most recent works, a large inkjet from his “History” series is positioned as the first and most dominant image at the entrance of the space. This introductory image, titled “The Searchers,” features a lone, masculine figurine in blue jeans, a red shirt, and a dark cowboy hat, with a rifle held by the barrel and slung across the shoulder of the toy.

A narrow depth of field is used to give the illusion that the figure is staring off into a distant sunset. The only other figure in the image is a skull; possibly that of a steer. This masculine conqueror who looks out onto land which is or could become his is a recurring character in Levinthal’s work. Not that he is physically present in each image, but his brash and bold survey, exploration, and ownership of all before him can be felt in each of the images throughout the themes of war, myth, and desire.

The topics of desire and war feature heavily in Levinthal’s earliest works, displayed in the first room of the exhibition. The small scale, subtle colors, and salon-style hanging of the works invite the viewer in for closer examination. In the groupings of “Bad Barbie,” “Modern Romance,” and “Porno,” Levinthal positions the viewer as voyeur, a peeping tom that must lean in to see what the dolls are doing. Despite not having genitalia of their own, the figures positioned to imply sexual activity or heightened sexual tension.

While many of Levinthal’s photographic skills were developed during the Vietnam War, the war images that are side-by-side are from his “Wild West” and his “Mein Kampf” series.

Simulated battles are present throughout the works, but the literal wars represented were not contemporary to Levinthal. Instead, the war photographs look back through nostalgic lenses, the heroes and bad guys clearly defined.

“Wild West” contains some of the few images of brown people in the show, but they represent characters instead of people, and play into shallow pop culture tropes of Native Americans. Armed and on horseback, the figures are central to the photos, and Levinthal played with focus and depth of field to create a sense of motion, rushing, and urgency.

They seem to gallop past the viewer, moving horizontally across the image as if into the next photograph or across a television screen.

The cowboys in this series are presented as heroic rescuers; taming a horse or riding directly toward the viewer and into action that could be happening on the museum floor. In her remarks during the exhibit’s opening, the museum’s Curator in Charge for the Department of

Photography Lisa Hostetler said that our national identity was strongly shaped by the ubiquitous presence of the West in film and popular culture during the 1950s and 1960s.

She claims that because of the way Levinthal photographed the toys, viewers are given space to consider the viewpoint of both the cowboy and the indigenous people of the west.

On the surface, the “Wild West” images are not about the atrocities committed upon Native Americans but celebrate the lone cowboy, rushing from the image to rescue the viewer from the unseen surrounding hordes of natives. The work explores the American myth of the heroic cowboy who is credited for taming a people and a terrain. But where it could have built a narrative that recognizes the accomplishments, sovereignty, and humanity of indigenous peoples prior to the arrival of American colonizers, the series merges war and mythology and relies on its audience to determine the difference between nostalgia and criticism of an American West that never was, but that dominated popular culture for a generation.

The figures, tchotchkes, and racist memorabilia in Levinthal’s “Blackface” series are presented without hint of environment — they’re posed in front of a dark background, and lit in a way that highlights their colors and exaggerated expressions. Curatorial information states that the series is intended to highlight the insidious and pervasive nature of the toys, advertising, and household goods that depicted caricatures of black people. But their placement, between Levinthal’s “Passion” and “Space” series, has them flanked by themes of sexuality and mythology. It was jarring to see this propaganda — a tool of warfare used against black bodies in America for centuries — positioned with the mythos of the hypersexualized white woman and of the Space Race instead of the images of war.

These objects are not a source of warm nostalgia for many viewers.

During his exhibition preview talk, Levinthal discussed how the “Blackface” Polaroids aim to monumentalize the objects and confront the audience with the nature of their intended purpose. But it’s unclear how the images and their placement in the exhibition contribute to the conversation of race and identity in America in a constructive way, or if they sustain the new popular narrative that the destructive representation of people of color in popular culture is a thing of the past, like the Space Race. Are racist depictions of black people a titillating and tantalizing experience, like the “Desire” images?

Levinthal does not moralize in his work, and the exhibit’s presentation allows viewers to come to their own conclusions about what ideas are being presented. But without the guidance of the podcast or the curators walkthrough, the audience might struggle to reach the conclusions intended by the museum and the artist.

ART BY JONATHAN SCHNAPP

ART | ‘UNCHARTED TAILS’ There is something surrealistic yet understated about the art of Jonathan Schnapp in his new exhibition “Uncharted Tails” at Create Art 4 Good Gallery. Sure, Schnapp’s paintings evoke children’s book illustrations, with their vivid colors and fantastical, detailed depictions anthropomorphized animals. But there is gravitas in the work, and scene implies an epic story filled with imagination and adventure. This engaging collection of paintings is accessible to kids and adults alike.

Jonathan Schnapp’s “Uncharted Tails” runs through Thursday, June 21, at the Create Art 4 Good Gallery in suite 203 (door 5) at the Hungerford Building, 1115 East Main Street. Free. Appointments to view the exhibition can be made at flimsyrobot.com or createart4good.org.

Silver-Tongue Turned Gold [ POETRY ] BY SUZANNE JOHN

My mother’s voice, is to some A weapon.

She speaks with lilting English and orchestras When she opens her mouth, I see waterfalls Great cerulean spills of champagne And melodies made up of birdsong and sky There is culture dripping off of my mother’s tongue.

But this honeyed tone stings some like a thousand bees As if its beauty itself offends them As if her singsong lilt is a threat of war; Deserving to be washed away with soap and rainwater.

My own voice is carefully constructed Of perfect syllables, clean as glass Draped with glittering baubles of English convention I string poetry through my arms And hide the honey of my culture between the folds of pretty words.

My mother laughs when she mispronounces words Though her accent is a pretty, wondrous thing.

My mother does not ask me to trade in my English For the golden, sparkling tones of her mother tongue Instead, she tells me to cultivate my voice Like a gardener cultivates roses She tells me that English is my secret weapon.

That my pen is a sword, that my voice is a flame in my throat And dragons live in my chest.

So I write forest fires and trails of blazing heat I write of heat and thunder and my mother’s golden voice Till my throat and fingers are red and raw from dipping my mind into the sun.

I join the throng of voices around me that shout the same words: “Hear me! Hear me, America!”

These words make me powerful.

So take heed to the chorus around you.

Be careful to listen to the hum The thrum of voices that pulse through the ground Ask for a chance to be heard.

They will preserve their flames in the presence of sea.

These war cries may fade into murmurs of shadow and broken vocal cords, But these voices are still America.

Do not let them go to waste.

Theater ABOUT SUZANNE JOHN

Today, we feature a poem from the winner of the Sokol Award for poetry, a creative writing contest for high school students sponsored

by The Friends & Foundation of the Rochester Public Library (FFRPL) since 1958. The name of the award comes from Mr. and Mrs. Eli & Mildred

Sokol, who established an endowment in 1985 through the Community Foundation.

This endowment allows the FFRPL the ability to offer monetary prizes to the winners and honoraria to the judges.

Some of us may take for granted our easy relationship with English, forgetting that kind of privileges we enjoy because of this. In a sensitive and tender portrait of a mother and daughter, Suzanne’s award-winning poem probes the complicated ways language shapes experience.

The poem reminds us that language is much

more than a vessel for information, a means of ordering a pizza or asking for directions; it is a physical presence, a tool available for all of us to use, reminding us to listen because so many deserve to be heard.

Suzanne John is a junior at Penfield High School. Besides writing, she also loves playing piano and participating in dance.

She currently takes piano and voice lessons at Nazareth College, and just completed her dance education last year. She hopes to major in clinical psychology in college.

THEATER | ‘ITALIAN BRED’ For one performance only, writer and actress Candice Guardino brings her successful one-woman show “Italian Bred” — now being developed into a T.V. series — to The Lyric Theatre this Friday. The comedy, originally developed through a series of stand-up performances, draws from Guardino’s Italian upbringing in Brooklyn. Through humorous impersonations of her own family members, Guardino points to universal life experiences to which everyone can relate, regardless of background. The show also features “virtual celebrity cameos” from the likes of Mario Cantone (“Sex and the City”) and Steve Schirripa (“The Sopranos”).

Candice Guardino will perform “Italian Bred” on Friday, June 15, at The Lyric Theatre, 440 East Avenue. 8 p.m. $32.50-$37.75. 256-0444. lyrictheatrerochester.org; italianbredshow.com.

/ T H E AT E R 22 CITY JUNE 13 - 19, 2018

amid the criminal mischief, and an ingeniously complex scheme, preferably taking place in a unique setting. Barring all that, the film has to at least be directed with enough style and energy that we don’t have an opportunity to notice any of those potential weak spots.

A gender-swapped spin-off of Steven Soderbergh’s trilogy of “Ocean’s” films, “Ocean’s 8” checks most of those boxes while offering the distinct pleasure of watching its insanely talented cast have a blast and look great doing it. Which is a good thing, since the title’s numerical value

just so happens to leave enough room for two more movies with its all-female crew.

Sandra Bullock stars as Debbie Ocean, estranged sister of George Clooney’s Danny Ocean, the suave ringmaster at the center of Soderbergh’s films. Fresh off a prison stint for art fraud, Debbie has spent her time away concocting a new crime because, well, it’s what she does best. Debbie wastes little time in reconnecting with her right-hand woman, Lou (Cate Blanchett), letting her partner in on a plot to steal a $150 million dollar

diamond necklace from the Met Gala, the haute couture event of the season.

The pair immediate put a team together, handpicked for their specialized skills: there’s the past-he- prime fashion designer (Helena Bonham Carter) who’ll get them access to the event, a hacker (Rihanna), a pickpocketcon artist (rapper-comedian Awkwafina), a criminal-mastermind-turned-suburbanmom (Sarah Paulson), and a jeweler (Mindy Kaling). Then there’s the It Girl starlet (Anne Hathaway) whose neck they’ll have to steal the necklace off of.

The script by Ross and Olivia Milch makes sure each actress gets at least a moment to shine, but the thinness of the supporting characters leaves us wanting even more. Bullock is typically appealing in the straight-man (er, woman?) role, and she shares enough chemistry with Blanchett (looking stunning in a series of impeccably tailored pant suits) that we’re left wondering whether their characters might once have been partners in any other sense.

Bonham Carter and Hathaway are the clear MVPs. Bonham Carter brings a wonderful, slightly daffy energy to her character; and playing a winking version of herself, Hathaway reminds us of the considerable comedic chops that she sadly doesn’t get to flex nearly often enough.

“Ocean’s 8” mostly sticks to formula, though Gary Ross’ direction lacks the precision and style of Soderbergh (who’s still on board as producer). It’s so breezy and light that it’s basically a hangout movie. Which isn’t a bad thing, even if the low-key vibe does dilute some of the suspense over whether or not the crew will be able to pull things off. But there’s no denying the pleasures of watching its glamorous cast act cool in exquisite designer clothing. Taken as a comedy about female friendship that also happens to have a heist in it, “Ocean’s 8” is slick, fizzy entertainment that doesn’t disappoint.

It’s a Dead Language

In Charleston, South Carolina, Cara Koscinski and her whole family were looking forward to her son Jacob’s May 19 graduation party. The Post and Courier reported he had excelled in his Christian-based homeschool program, earning a 4.79 GPA and the summa cum laude distinction, an honor Koscinski included in the wording on the cake she ordered online from her local Publix store. When the software informed her “profane/special characters (are) not allowed,” Koscinski made clear that phrase was Latin, meaning “with the highest distinction,” and even included a link to a website explaining it. Still, when the cake arrived, it read: “Congratulations Jacob! Summa --- laude Class of 2018.” Jacob was embarrassed, and Koscinski had to tell her 70-year-old mother why the store had censored the word. Publix offered to remake the cake, but as Koscinski noted, “You only graduate once.”

Oops!

Lyons, New York, resident Jesse Graham, 53, must have been surprised when deputies of the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department appeared at his door on May 11. WHEC TV reported that Graham, a fugitive wanted by the Mooresville (North Carolina) Police Department, had apparently accidentally dialed 911, summoning the deputies himself. Graham was charged with being a fugitive from justice and possession of marijuana, and he awaits extradition to North Carolina.

In Lawrence, Kansas, architecture students designed a new bike rack for the Prairie Acre Ribbon Classroom, the first outdoor classroom at the University of Kansas. The metal rack features the letters P-A-R-C, but viewed from another vantage point, they spell C-R-A-P. Social media lit up after a photo was posted May 13, including, “It’ll make a fine bike rack. Crap a diem!” Project PARC KU responded: “The photograph shown is not the intended vantage point, nor is it the message of our project,” but at press time, the university had not announced any action, according to the Wichita Eagle-Beacon.

Anger Management

Frustration with the cable company boiled over in Ridgewood, New Jersey, on May 7, when a dispute between an Optimum employee and a woman left the cable worker stranded on high. While the employee was in an elevated bucket working on lines, northjersey.com reported, a 59-year-old woman turned off the truck and “took utility property” before walking away, making it impossible for the worker to lower the bucket. Ridgeview police charged the woman with harassment, false imprisonment, disorderly conduct and criminal trespassing.

Dymund Ellis, 19, was charged with stabbing and killing her roommate, Jace Trevon Ernst, 25, in North Las Vegas, Nevada, after a May 4 argument. According to North Las Vegas Police, Ellis became upset after Ernst repeatedly talked while she tried to watch a TV show, telling him to “shut up.” When he responded with an expletive, she went to the kitchen for a knife, reported Fox News. Police said Ellis had threatened Ernst with a knife about 10 times in the last couple of months, but he had been able to get the knife away from her. Ellis told an officer that “she has anger problems and she just got extremely upset tonight.”

What a Crock!

As it negotiated a roundabout in Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland, a dump truck filled with manure lost its balance on May 21 and tipped over, spilling its load onto a Peugot 208 with the driver inside. A witness said he “couldn’t believe anyone got out alive,” but the male driver was able to crawl through the pile of excrement and was unhurt, if stinky, Metro News reported.

The car, however, “was crushed,” according to a Police Scotland spokesman.
