Give RCSD time for Aquino’s work to take root

The Rochester Board of Education is working to address issues highlighted

by Distinguished Educator Jaime Aquino, but Mayor Warren’s proposal for state takeover of the district is designed to pull the rug out from under it.

Aquino’s report cites high leadership turnover as a factor in the district’s shortcomings; Warren’s suggestion exacerbates that as the board works to make changes.

On June 6, the board released a refined action plan. A new superintendent began leading the district on July 2 CITY

JULY 3 - 9, 2019

1. State Assembly member Harry Bronson has drafted legislation in response to Aquino’s suggestions, which Warren has derided as “No solution at all. It’s more of the same.” County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo echoed her comments.

Warren claims that Bronson’s proposed legislation “take[s] away the ability of all city parents to decide the future of their children’s education,” but it is unclear how stripping power from the elected board avoids this pitfall.

Aquino’s recommendations include “ensur[ing] that the board has a clear understanding of its role as a governing body,” increasing accountability, and enhancing professional development.

In its latest iteration, the board’s action plan outlines an approach to resolve each of these issues.

Central to the board’s document is a strategic plan to be implemented across the district, in direct response to Aquino’s report. Each board resolution will identify alignment with the plan, including the budget. The board “will hold quarterly meetings to review metrics that track progress on our strategic plan” in an effort to increase accountability and make better use of data, another shortcoming cited by Aquino.

Reacting to Aquino’s recommendation to “implement a system of induction for new commissioners,” a comprehensive board handbook will clarify roles and contain a checklist of training areas for new members. Mentors are to be assigned to new members, and quarterly self-assessments will evaluate the board and

superintendent’s shared understanding of roles.

Bronson’s legislation, released in draft form on June 13, also addresses these areas. The draft bill includes “clearly delineating the powers and duties of the board of education and the superintendent,” further training for board members, and developing “a long-term strategic academic improvement plan [that] would include a set of goals with appropriate benchmarks and measurable objectives” to effectively enhance accountability.

In light of these attempts to tackle deficiencies named in Aquino’s report head-on, Warren’s suggestion of state takeover is irresponsible. It creates uncertainty for an incoming superintendent and debases the board’s efforts to respond to these issues.

Before casting aside the work done since

Aquino’s appointment last July, the district must implement his suggestions and evaluate the effects of his intervention. To do otherwise is to build on shaky ground.

Jazz Fest chatter

I attended several of the free shows at the Jazz Fest on Wednesday evening: Herb Smith’s trio at the Squeezer Stage, which was great; the three outdoor events, which were all very good; and the Prime Time Brass concert in the big tent.

Troubling about this one concert was the number of people talking throughout the performance. It was disrespectful to the performers and those of us who came to hear the music.

What was different about this indoor concert from the Herb Smith concert? I think too many tables, giving the people the impression that conversation is OK. I believe the festival organizers need to rethink the Big Tent seating arrangements for coming years. And please, people, be more respectful!

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

The Dems’ debates: risk and potential With last week’s back-to-back Democratic debates, the 2020 presidential campaign has begun in earnest. And on the whole, the debates were far more enlightening and interesting than I had thought they would be. They could, in fact, play a crucial role in determining which Democrat is most likely to beat Donald Trump.

The Democrats have are too many candidates, obviously, but this is a really interesting group of people – diverse and, for the most part, experienced. And the diversity is striking, given the lack of it in the Republican Party. Looking at the candidates stretched out across the stage, we saw something that, while not perfect, looked more like and felt more like what this country is.

In both debates last week, there was substantive discussion about issues: not whether the country needs to dramatically change its immigration policy but what the options are; not whether health care is a right but how to provide it; not whether college education ought to be accessible and reasonably priced but how to afford it.

Right now, what the Democratic candidates have to do is obvious. They have make their distinctions clear without ripping one another apart. And they have to nominate someone who can fire up the party’s liberal-activist base and can also appeal to the broader, more moderate population of average voters.

That doesn’t mean that to get elected Democrats have to turn their backs on universal health care, economic equity, and a humane immigration policy. It seems pretty obvious that a Democratic candidate will need to offer bold, progressive alternatives to Republican policies. But it’s time for Democrats of all stripes – and the broader public – to drop the slogans and talk about the complexity of the challenges facing the country.

Do we want to open our doors to any immigrant who wants to come here? Can we afford to do that? Do we want to offer free college to everyone, including the wealthy, or only to low-income students? Is it possible to convince people to give up their employerprovided health insurance? Or will we have to get to universal health care in smaller steps?

The debates offer a chance for that kind of discussion, and the Democrats plan 11 more of them, running on into 2020. (Last week’s two debates were really one, split over two nights because of the number of candidates.)

If the candidates focus on issues rather than tearing one another apart, the debates could play an important role in a crucial US election.”

At some point, the field will start shrinking, as the weaker candidates start to face reality.

And then we’ll see whether the Democratic Party can offer voters a credible, electable alternative to Donald Trump.

In 2016, the Republican Party began its selection process similar to the way the Democrats are starting theirs now, with 25 presidential candidates. Some were clearly vanity candidates, but some were experienced and credible. Instead, the Republicans ended up with Donald Trump.

There’s no Democratic version of Donald Trump in the race for the nomination, but that doesn’t mean the Democrats’ couldn’t wind up with their own disaster.

Somewhere in that field of 20-plus candidates is a Democrat who can do what Barack Obama did in 2008 and 2012. The Democrats need to find that person, and if the candidates can focus on issues rather than tearing one another apart, the debates could play an important role in the lead-up to a singularly crucial US election.

“The future of US democracy will be on the ballot next year,” the Post’s EJ Dionne wrote earlier this week. “No one should pretend otherwise.”

That’s not an exaggeration, I think.

RTS ready for its redesign For almost two years, the regional transit agency has been going through a process, dubbed Reimagine RTS, to redesign its public transit system. But the process has now become a plan, which the RGRTA board approved last week.

RGRTA spokesperson Tom Brede says the redesigned public transit and paratransit systems —transportation for people unable to use RTS buses because of a disability —should go into effect on June 29, 2020. The document is available at reimagine.myrts.com.

The plan focuses on improving the frequency and reliability of buses in its core service areas, mainly the City of Rochester and inner-ring suburbs. It lays out 10 frequent-service routes — including two cross-town routes — and 20 local-service routes, all designed to be more direct than existing ones. Routes that run deep into the suburbs, which have lacked ridership, will be pared back.

The frequent-service lines will run no more than 15 minutes apart from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays and no more than 30 minutes apart from 5 a.m. to 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. to midnight on weekdays. On weekends, they’ll run 30 minutes apart from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and an hour apart for all other hours.

Buses on the local-service routes will run 30 minutes apart from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays and hourly from 5 a.m. to 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. to midnight on weekdays.

They’ll run hourly from 6 a.m. to midnight on weekends.

The Reimagine RTS document includes redesigned route maps, as well as a one-page rundown of each route; details about new “community mobility zones,” areas that will be served by several different forms of transit, from smaller buses to van sharing services, and which will take the place of direct bus service in some communities and neighborhoods; fare structures, including new discounts for veterans, seniors, and disabled people; and a federally required paratransit service plan.

RTS officials and staff still have to finalize the schedules for the new routes and put up new signs; that work will happen in the leadup to the 2020 launch of the redesign. They also plan to run an aggressive outreach and education campaign.

City starts planning more Inner Loop removal

The Inner Loop looking eastward from Plymouth Avenue: The highway has created a moat between downtown Rochester and neighborhoods to the north.

PHOTO BY RYAN WILLIAMSON

City officials took the first step last week toward removing the rest of the Inner Loop, a section of the sunken highway that runs through the northern edge of downtown Rochester. They issued a request for proposals for a company to study the highway, evaluate alternative possibilities for its removal, and recommend a new design.

The Warren administration wants to “convert some or all” of the remaining Inner Loop, from Charlotte Street westward to I-490, to a grade-level street “with significant acreage for redevelopment,” the RFP says.

The eastern portion of the Loop was removed and brought up to surface level in 2017, and new development – apartments, commercial space, an expansion of the Strong Museum, and a hotel – is well underway. Now, the Warren administration wants to tackle the rest of the road. One reason is the potential to create more land for development. But city officials also say the Inner Loop has served as a

moat that separates northeastern city neighborhoods from downtown Rochester. The administration wants to reconnect those neighborhoods with downtown.

The company chosen for the planning study will provide a broad range of services, including studying current traffic use on the Inner Loop, designing new streets, assessing development potential, and overseeing public engagement.

The deadline for submitting proposals is August 16, but that’s the first step in what will likely be a long process. Officials say the study will probably be completed in the spring of 2021.

The study will include a recommended replacement for the Inner Loop, but then the city will have to raise money to carry out that recommendation.

A block of North Clinton Avenue in the El Camino neighborhood was selected by Reconnect Rochester for a complete streets project.

The block will be home to the International Plaza at La Marketa, but it’s within a busy corridor that has no crosswalks.

SAFER STREETS | BY JEREMY MOULE

North Clinton block will get a redesign The block between Sullivan Street and Hoeltzer Street along North Clinton Avenue is at an intersection, a figurative one.

Next year, construction on the longawaited International Plaza at La Marketa should start, turning a vacant lot in the El Camino neighborhood into a public market and recreation area. The project’s been in the works for 30 years, and neighbors as well as community leaders have high hopes for it. Officials intend it to showcase the area’s multinational culture, especially its Hispanic and Latinx heritage.

But before that happens, the block will get a Complete Streets Makeover from Reconnect Rochester, a transportation and bike-pedestrian advocacy group.

The makeover will resemble what Reconnect Rochester and the Beechwood neighborhood did last year at Parsells Avenue and Greeley Street. There, work included temporary curb extensions at all four corners of the intersection and a mural on the street and other public art.

The city installed speed cushions, which are a kind of speed hump designed to let large emergency vehicles pass unimpeded.

The whole idea of the Beechwood project was to get drivers to slow down; before the work, some drivers would blow through the residential area at 50 miles

an hour. And the aesthetic changes were intended to make the intersection more attractive for residents and visitors and to catch drivers’ attention.

For its 2019 Complete Streets Makeover project, Reconnect Rochester asked the public to nominate “intersections and trouble spots” that could be redesigned to be safer. It received nominations for 31 locations, but North Clinton along the La Marketa block landed at the top of the screening committee’s list.

The nomination came from two residents, Jim Fraser and Laurie Bogmis. Miguel Melendez, chief community engagement officer at Ibero, worked with Fraser and Bogmis to put the nomination together.

The corridor has had a problem with crashes. Reconnect Rochester examined data and found that over the last five years, there were close to 60 incidents involving pedestrians or cyclists, says Mary Staropoli, the organization’s planning and development director.

But the La Marketa site is also a long, busy block within a longer stretch – the area between Clifford Avenue and Don Samuel Torres Park – that lacks crosswalks entirely, Melendez says.

“The jaywalking issue is a real thing on Clinton Avenue,” Melendez says.

“Everyone’s just crossing wherever they decide is the point at which they want to cross.”

Engineers from Stantec will develop a conceptual design for the corridor, which will incorporate public input from a session that Reconnect Rochester Neighbors of the La Marketa site want to make the North Clinton side of the block safer, and they also want to highlight the area’s and Ibero held with identity.

ANALYSIS | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO, JEREMY MOULE, AND MARY ANNA TOWLER

Highlights from an early summer primary An earlier-than-usual primary election campaign that had candidates, political parties, and election officials scrambling wrapped up last week, with a few surprises (incumbents got the most votes in the Democratic school board primary) and one cliffhanger: City Council’s Northwest District Democratic race.

Before this year, state and local primaries in New York had been in September, but in January, the State Legislature approved a bill moving that date to June. That forced candidates and parties to make decisions, pass petitions, and raise money quickly. And many voters might not have had their mind on politics as the school year wrapped up.

But while Democratic turnout was a low 14 percent, that was slightly higher than four years ago.

The school board race

Come January 2020, the Rochester City School District will undergo another change in leadership, though it won’t be as dramatic as it might have been.

Ten candidates ran for four seats on the school board, so it was possible that next year, a majority of the seven-member board would be brand new or nearly so.

But in last week’s Democratic primary, voters returned incumbents Beatriz LeBron and Willa Powell and elected newcomers Amy Maloy and Ricardo Adams. Maloy and Adams will replace Liz Hallmark (who didn’t seek a second term) and Judith Davis (who joined the board only last January to fill an unexpired term and was running for her first full term).

All four will take their seats in January; no other political parties are running school board candidates in the November general election.

While it’s hard to draw an overarching conclusion, the election results don’t seem to indicate a particular dissatisfaction with the school board. While turnout was low, there was no significant difference between the number of votes cast for City Council and the school board. In other words, people did care enough about the district and the school board to show up and vote.

And the top vote-getters were incumbents LeBron and Powell.

It’s hard to see last week’s election results, then, as an endorsement of getting rid of the board.

In addition, by winning, LeBron and Powell overcame some perceived handicaps. LeBron’s temperament had been on full display in a public spat with activist and fellow school board candidate Howard Eagle, but that didn’t seem to hurt her. And while some of LeBron’s colleagues initially balked at her frankness, others see her tendency to question and examine details as a willingness to hold people accountable, including fellow board members.

Powell’s 20-year service on the board apparently wasn’t a drawback for voters, either. In fact, they may have viewed her longevity as an asset, given the frequent changes in leadership at the district.

First-time candidate Amy Maloy will bring her experience as a Rochester school district parent and a Brighton teacher to the board.

Ricardo Adams, also a newcomer to politics, is well-known in the community for his years of activism on issues such as poverty, social justice, and education.

Failing to win a board seat were two candidates who campaigned independently, Anthony Hall and Robert Hoggard, and a slate composed of incumbent Judith Davis, longtime activist Howard Eagle, Andria Bryant, and Clifford Florence.

Davis may have hurt her candidacy with some critical mistakes in her brief time on the board. Though she wasn’t the only board member to publicly attack her colleagues, she

sometimes helped illustrate one of the most important findings in Distinguished Educator Jaime Aquino’s report: board dysfunction.

And she abdicated one of her most important jobs as a board member, refusing to take part in the selection of a new superintendent because she disagreed with the process.

The primary was a mix of good and bad news

for board President Van White, who lost his bid for a seat on City Court.

White has been the face of the school district through much of the past difficult year. He publicly pushed back on some of the assertions in the Aquino report. He disagreed with assumptions about the role of board members and superintendents.

But he also has plenty of supporters. As an attorney, he has worked with incarcerated youth, poor defendants, and wrongly convicted individuals, often pro bono. And his service on the school board has certainly given him name recognition. Nonetheless, he came in third in a six-way race for two City Court seats.

The primary may have handed White a victory, though: The next board could be less affected by tension. Newcomers Maloy and Adams made unity part of their pitch to voters. And the current board has already committed to the professional development that Aquino recommended.

New Superintendent Terry Dade may also benefit from a less contentious board.

The future for the school board remains uncertain, though. The November ballot will include a referendum on whether city voters want the state to take over the school district for five years. And late last week, Assembly member David Gantt introduced a one-house bill calling for that take-over. If the referendum passes, state legislators could take up the matter when they return to Albany in January.

Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren, who has pushed aggressively for a change in school governance, has support from City Council, local Regents Wade Norwood and T. Andrew Brown, and some business leaders.

But with the primary over, opponents of a state takeover – including the teachers union, local education activists, and the school board – will likely ramp up a vigorous campaign to defeat the referendum. The result could be one of the most contentious political battles the city has seen in recent memory.

A central question is whether voters believe the district and the school board are so broken that they can be fixed only by a dramatic change in governance.

The current board and the board that will be in charge in January have a brief opportunity. If the June and August graduation rates continue to improve, and parents and teachers like what they see in new superintendent Terry Dade, voters may be reluctant to support the takeover.

If, however, board members can’t show that they understand their own role and that of the superintendent, and if they lapse into infighting, whatever improvements the district does make could be dismissed.

And that will keep the debate about a state takeover alive.

County races

Two big stories came out of the Democratic County Legislature primaries. In the 21st District race, former journalist Rachel Barnhart beat the party-designated candidate, Victor Sanchez. And in the 26th District,

designated candidate Yversha Roman defeated incumbent legislator Tony Micciche.

Both contests were quintessential Democratic primaries; they were a fight for the heart and soul of the party, as the old cliché goes.

Roman, a long-time Democrat and leader of the 26th and 7th Legislative District committees, ran against Micciche, who was a member of the Legislature’s Republican caucus until he jumped to the Democratic caucus at the end of 2018. The race was a rematch of the 2015 general election contest, where Micciche, running as a Republican, beat Roman.

This time, Roman got about 63 percent of the votes, and Micciche got 37 percent.

They’ll compete again in November, since Micciche has the Independence and Libertarian Party lines; in a Facebook post Micciche said he’ll continue to campaign.

Republican Orlando Rivera will also be on the general election ballot, setting up a threeway race for the seat.

Barnhart was recruited to run for the Legislature by the 21st Legislative District committee’s leader, but the committee ultimately chose Sanchez. Barnhart campaigned hard, however, and stuck to many of the issues she’s emphasized in her three previous runs for office: government accountability, better transit, and making better use of the county’s fiber optic network, for example.

And she got 53 percent of the vote to Sanchez’s 46 percent. Sanchez will appear on the Working Families Party line in the general election, but he says he’ll be focusing his efforts on helping other county candidates win.

So in 2020, Barnhart will be in the Legislature, though the general election will decide whether Republicans or Democrats have the majority in the chamber, and whether there’s a Democratic or Republican county exec.

As a reporter, Barnhart relished her role as a watchdog. If there’s a Republican majority or exec, she’ll undoubtedly put her skill at aggressive questioning to use.

If the Dems take the Legislature majority, the exec’s seat, or both, the caucus and the party will face a whole new dynamic. Each member will have to define or redefine their role, and they’ll have to do it without widening the fissures that often undermine the party.

In a quirky Independence Party primary, County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo, a Republican, prevailed over her Democratic challenger, County Clerk Adam Bello.

Dinolfo had 55 percent of the vote and Bello had 45 percent.

The contest wasn’t really a preview of the coming general election matchup; it was more about a strategic advantage. The Independence Party line can help candidates win general elections. It’s an extra line, and some voters do associate it with founder Tom Golisano’s prolonged campaign against high property taxes. But some voters also conflate it with a candidate being independent of a party.

City Council

There were no huge surprises in three of the four district City Council Democratic Primary races. The party’s designated candidates won: Mary Lupien in the East District, incumbent Mike Patterson in the Northeast, and LaShay Harris (who was appointed to Council in April to replace Adam McFadden) in the South District.

The big City Council news was the closeness of the results in the Northwest District. Jose Peo had a slim lead over the party’s designated candidate LaShana Boose after the poll results, absentee ballots, and affidavit ballots were tallied.

But the results were still unofficial as of Tuesday afternoon.

All four Council primary winners will face at least one opponent in the November general election. The Green Party is running three candidates: Chris Edes in the Northeast, Alex White in the South, and Dave Atias in the East. Republican Marcus Williams is also running for the South District seat. And Bijaya Khadka is running on the Working Families line for the Northwest District seat.

In the heavily Democratic city, the Democratic candidates will be favored to win the general election. If they do, regardless of who wins the Northwest primary, the Council taking office in January will be a slightly younger one, with at least one more member – Mary Lupien – whose background is in community activism, not politics. Peo has been active in the Charlotte Community Association. And Harris also has deep experience as a community activist; in addition to serving on the County Legislature, she has been president of the 19th Ward Community Association.

The addition of activists to Council comes at a time when the city is dealing with several issues that community activists have been particularly concerned about: affordable housing and police oversight.

Council will also have two members who work for the Rochester school district: Lupien and LaShay Harris. Both will have to recuse themselves on any vote affecting the school district, as Harris did last month in Council’s vote on a referendum calling for a state takeover of the district. rochestercitynewspaper.com

OBSTRUCTED PRACTICE The US has a shortage of doctors, yet many foreign-educated physicians are blocked from practicing medicine here [ FEATURE ] BY BRIAN GORDON

JULY 3 - 9, 2019

expensive books, online programs, and the luxury of studying full-time. But many older foreign-educated doctors must work full-time to support their families.

Yang had two children when she prepared to take Step 1 in the late-2000s.

Battling financial and schedule constraints, she stole pockets of time each day to review the material and hone her language skills.

She delayed taking the test for five years while she improved her English. But Yang said she still found herself focusing more on cracking the meaning of individual words than the larger problem.

She scored a 214 — a passing score — but a number she learned would keep her out of her desired residency programs.

Yang’s son and daughter attended Brighton schools, and while her father was living with them, he was in his 70s and had Parkinson’s disease. Her husband had lived in Rochester for a few years, before disappearing back to China. Yang said he has not been in contact with his family.

So finding a local residency was essential to Yang. She promised herself she would study and earn a Step 1 score high enough for any residency in Rochester. “I thought, ‘If they say I need a 240, I will get a 260,’” she said.

Soon, Yang learned that regardless of her score, no area residency would accept a candidate who was so long out from medical school. If the Step exams were roadblocks to be navigated, the pathway towards being a doctor also featured an unscalable wall.

*In noted places, names have been changed or only first initials are used at the request of some subjects to preserve anonymity.

In 2017, a patient walked into a Rochesterarea cancer center and learned her BRCA genes had mutated. Every human possesses BRCA genes — which make proteins to suppress tumors — but when the genes mutate in certain ways, the risk of breast cancer goes from an improbability to a probability. Concerned, the middle-aged, Chinese-born patient fired off questions to the physician who had delivered the news.

The patient asked in Mandarin, the physician answered in English. The task of spanning the language divide fell upon the interpreter, Dali Yang.

Absorbing each word, Yang broke down the situation to both sides.

To the patient, she translated: “The doctor says the mutation is a BRCA2, not BRCA1.

The difference increases the likelihood of some cancers. Chemotherapy might be necessary down the line.”

To the physician: “The patient is concerned about what chemotherapy will do.

Should she warn her relatives? Is she more susceptible to ovarian cancer too? Might that require surgery?”

After 90 minutes, the patient was out of questions and left. The physician turned to Yang. Most interpreters do their best to paraphrase medical conversations, but Yang seemed to repeat everything, even when the physician gave jargon-dense responses. At other times, Yang adds words to the patient’s inquiries, speaking in medical vernacular uncommon to most interpreters. Not once did Yang ask for clarification.

The physician probed: How did she know so much?

Yang, who at the time was approaching age 50, explained. She had been a doctor in China and was determined to be one again in Rochester. She was studying for her medical exams. BRCA mutations were part of the previous week’s review. “I don’t need a doctor to explain anything to me,” she told the other doctor.

Rochester is home to many older foreign-educated physicians who are licensed in their home countries, where they practiced medicine for years. But their ambitions to practice in Rochester face virtually insurmountable barriers.

There are many foreign-educated doctors who go straight from a foreign medical school into an American residency. But for those who had careers abroad and are, at times, decades out of med school, getting licensed to practice in the US is near impossible.

Dali Yang had been a doctor in China and is determined to be one in Rochester. But like many other foreign-educated physicians, she faces seemingly insurmountable barriers to becoming certified.

Some foreign-educated physicians resign themselves to the reality that they will never be doctors again, content to work in health care positions tangential to their former profession, such as medical interpreters, patient care technicians, or nurse assistants. They are overqualified, but these positions allow them to stay in the field and care for patients.

Others like Yang remain resolved to practice medicine in a city with a shortage of physicians, no matter the improbability of the pursuit.

Upon graduating from medical school in 1992, Yang was a general surgeon at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Shanghai.

Her hospital only accepted walk-ins, and lines of patients would snake outside her office. Yang went back to school for a PhD in neuroscience, before moving to Rochester in 2004 to research alongside Dr. Steven Goldman, an esteemed expert on stem cells

at University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC). She arrived with her three-year-old daughter, Qingqing, with the intention to practice surgery again.

“I had no clue how United States doctors got their licenses,” Yang said over the phone, from her home in Brighton.

Before applying to residency programs in the US, foreign-educated doctors — like all aspiring residents — must pass the United States Medical Licensing Examination Step 1 and 2.

Step 1 is a cascade of paragraphs on patients and their symptoms: What do they have? What is the best treatment? Answers must come quickly. The clock is ticking and there are 280 questions. Step 1 contains a dictionary’s-worth of highly-technical medical terms, a hair-greying ordeal, even for native English-speakers.

Medical school students typically set aside months to prepare for Step 1 alone. Student loans — while onerous to pay off — cover

The first year Q* applied to residency programs, he sent out 60 applications and

received 60 rejections. The second year, he again applied to 60 residencies — across Rochester, across the state, across the country — and again was denied for each.

Frustration set in. Q was a surgeon in Baghdad for 15 years. He completed a yearlong fellowship in Glasgow and was licensed to practice surgery in the United Kingdom.

He could be a doctor in most of the world, but not in his new home.

In 2013, Q moved to Rochester with his wife and two kids to flee turmoil in Iraq.

Already fluent in English, he passed Step 1 and Step 2 within a year which earned him an Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates license, a requirement for his residency applications.

Q reached out to physicians who advised him to acquire more active fieldwork. He began observing local doctors around their offices. Seeking more responsibility, he accepted multiple months-long fellowships at hospitals in Jordan, where he performed Laparoscopies and other digestive surgeries as he had in Iraq. rochestercitynewspaper.com

By 2017, Q felt ready to pursue American residencies. He sent out applications for positions in internal medicine, emergency medicine, and family medicine programs, as well as surgery. Each rejection stung.

“Someone told me it’s like crashing into a wall,” Q said of the residency process for foreign-educated physicians. If the wall is the insurmountable barrier that meets these doctors on their paths, then the graduation cutoff policy is the wall.

According to the program’s website, URMC’s Obstetrics and Gynecology generally only considers applicants who are less than five years removed from medical school. URMC’s General Surgery residency has a strict fiveyear cutoff and the school’s Internal Medicine residency program site states no more than two years can elapse, but that “successful applicants have nearly all gone into residency within a year of medical school graduation.”

Other programs, like those at Rochester General Hospital and Unity Hospital, state a preference for applicants to have graduated medical school within five years. In the hypercompetitive world of residency matching, such soft language can mean the same as a hard cutoff.

A computer system called Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) automatically eliminates applicants with too long a gap between graduation and application. In March, URMC received 14,000 applications for 170 positions, according to a spokesperson for the medical center. Programs need a way to filter candidates. Those five years removed from medical school are placed on the chopping block.

Dr. Richard Alweis, Associate CMO for Medical Education at Rochester Regional 10 CITY JULY 3 - 9, 2019

Health, said that this method of exclusion is due to how quickly advances are made in the field of medicine.

“If it’s been more than two years, people are outside their comfort zone having you in their program,” he said. “Is it fair to them that residency directors look at what they look at?

No. Absolutely not.”

Older foreign-educated applicants must rely on a network of information connections to secure interviews. Alweis met with Q and other aspiring older doctors to discuss paths to residencies. Applicants must often pursue less competitive specialties, rather than the areas they practiced in their home countries. Alweis says he then leans on local residency directors he knows to take a case and give foreign-educated doctors a valuable interview slot.

Q said his interviews went well, but not well enough. He graduated from medical school in 2000 and the cutoffs have been a challenge that he cannot study to overcome.

“Sometimes I tell myself: Every certificate they asked me to get, I got,” he said. “Every exam I took, I did well. Despite all that, I couldn’t get a spot.”

This September, at the age of 43, Q said he plans to begin the application process for a third time. Each attempt swallows a bit more of his pride, and he admits that he sometimes feels like a failure.

He said he knows of no foreign-educated physicians who have been admitted to a residency program in Rochester, but has a few friends who succeeded in other states. “At the end of the day, what can you do?” he said. “I don’t want to become a driver or something.

This is my field. I feel that I am very good in it, and I can help others. So, you keep trying.”

Ahmad Stanikzai* of Brighton has stopped trying to practice medicine. His wife, Sharisa

Stanikzai*, has not.

The couple graduated from Kabul Medical University during the early years of the US War in Afghanistan. Sharisa practiced obstetrics and gynecology in Kabul, while Ahmad helped the United States Agency for International Development manage health promotion clinics in local communities. The impending withdrawal of the US army forced them to consider fleeing: If the Taliban regained power, anyone connected with America was under threat. In March 2017, Ahmad and Sharisa resettled in Rochester with their young daughter.

“I had thoughts about being a doctor right away,” Ahmad said over the phone.

But friends warned him about the arduous exams and graduation cutoffs for residencies. “When I heard, I thought, well I could spend two-to-three years of my life studying without the promise of a residency or job,” Ahmad said. “I decided it would be worth doing something different.”

At first, Ahmad was offered bluecollar positions in food services, which he declined. Money was tight, but Ahmad and Sharisa decided if they could not find jobs more commensurate with their degrees, they would return to Afghanistan.

While Ahmad searched for employment, Sharisa set her mind on passing the medical exams. She had been a doctor for more than a decade, and said she wants to practice medicine for the rest of her life.

But mastering technical English was daunting. Juggling studying, finding

employment, and caring for an 8-yearold child felt unsustainable at times, Sharisa said. “There is no kind of facility for foreign doctors who want to become doctors in this country,” she said. “You have to do it for yourself.”

Sharisa has several friends with similar backgrounds who passed both of the Step exams and still could not get accepted into residencies. She said one friend who passed with high marks is still working as a medical interpreter, her previous position before taking the exam.

“She studies, but sometimes she doesn’t study hard because she doesn’t have hope,” Ahmad said of his wife.

Through local services, some foreignlicensed doctors find jobs in the general medical field. For example, Ahmad found work as a research coordinator at UR Medicine through the Health Professional Opportunity Grant at Rochester Refugee Resettlement Services (RRRS). Ahmad speaks enthusiastically about a new heart device his team is currently testing.

“Getting back in the health sector feels great,” he said. “We have these jobs. We are not that frustrated.”

Sharisa also joined the RRRS staff, and she helps other foreign-educated doctors find job placements in health care. “I like to have connections with different places and help get people back in the field,” she said.

But she still continues to study each week for the medical exams. Ahmad knows the dream of being a doctor never fully dies, for his wife or himself. “All the time, I think hard about taking the exam and being a doctor again, in the United States,” he said.

Two years ago, Dr. Deborah Rib, Clinical Associate Professor of Obstetrics and

Gynecology at the University of Rochester, overheard a friend mention a grant connecting refugees who have backgrounds in health care to jobs in local health care services. Curious, Rib reached out to Rochester Refugee Resettlement Services, and RRRS Executive Director Mike Coniff told her about the Health Professional Opportunity Grant. Coniff had trouble meeting with time-strapped physicians and was eager to recruit Rib to assist.

Rib said she wasn’t sure what she could do, but Coniff had her begin by simply reading resumes. “I was just blown away by their qualifications and what they’ve done,” Rib said.

“They had been working in public health at international and national levels.”

Soon, Rib was meeting with dozens of foreign-educated physicians — both refugees and non-refugees — to hear their life stories, what they had accomplished, and what they still hoped to do. Leaning on colleagues at Strong, Rid found work for the former doctors.

She knew none of them would be physicians right away — if ever again — but at least they could be health care providers once more.

Through the grant, Rib and Sharisa have fast-tracked dozens of foreign-educated physicians into jobs as nursing assistants, phlebotomists, and patient care technicians who check blood pressure, collect specimens, and transport x-rays. Physicians who worked alongside the foreign-educated physicians raved to Rib about their performance and knowledge. Their talents were being underutilized, but not squandered.

Rib said she still hopes foreign-educated doctors are allowed to do more, one day.

Rochester, like all of the United States, is facing a shortage of qualified physicians. The Association of American Medical Colleges envisions a nationwide shortage of up to 121,900 doctors by 2032.

“Look at us,” Dr. Rib said. “We need more internists. We’ve got students here with big loans who go into specialties. Primary care doesn’t pay as well.”

Very few programs exist that are designed to help foreign-educated physicians practice medicine. As an example, Rib points to the Minnesota Department of Health’s International Medical Graduate Program, which offers free access to career counseling, exam prep, and assistance with residency applications. The program also selects a group of foreign-educated doctors for a rigorous nine-month pre-residency training — to bring them up to speed on medical technologies and current practices — after which they enter continues on page 12

residencies in one of Minnesota’s medicallyunderserved urban or rural areas.

“Minnesota’s doing some interesting things,” Rib said. “But it’s a whole statefunded program. We’re just little guys seeing what we can do.”

Instead of upending New York State’s residency policies, Rib and RSSS focus locally. “I would love to see more doctors get into the communities to bridge cultural gaps, to promote public health,” Rib said.

As an OB/GYN, Rib said she struggles to explain the purpose of tests like pap smears to patients who come from cultures where such tests are uncommon.

“In some other countries, you don’t go to a hospital to get better, you go to a hospital to die,” she said.

To Rib, foreign-educated physicians are ideally situated to communicate preventative health care to Rochester’s immigrant populations.

Dali Yang is aware of the ways her cultural background could benefit Chinese patients.

As an interpreter, she knows doctor-patient communication can get lost when she’s not there. Other interpreters may have some medical knowledge, but none have expertise like those who were practicing physicians.

“I really want the medical field to pay attention to us because it definitely needs refugee or new American doctors,” Yang said.

“The difference from American doctors is not only language, but culture.”

Yang gives the example of herbal treatments: Many older, Chinese-born patients rely on the benefits of green tea and other natural remedies, and Yang understands the importance her culture puts on these traditional treatments.

Patients have contacted her after appointments, pleading with her to get a physician’s license so she can provide them with care, she said. One patient even left her a letter of recommendation: “As Mrs. Dali Yang began to provide service to me, I began to know clearly about my injury, way of treatment, and diagnosis.”

“We totally get each other,” Yang said. “We do have the ability, knowledge, degree, and all the culture to serve the new Americans.”

Yang has never stopped believing she will be a doctor in America. Her first Step 1 results expired three years ago, which she welcomed. “Good riddance,” she thought, “to an unexceptional score.”

With her daughter now in college and her son becoming a teenager, Yang has more time to study. Until last winter, a group of six foreign-educated physicians — one from Afghanistan, four from Cuba, and Yang — met at Brighton Memorial Library to review definitions and diagnoses. Yang now preps on her own, cutting back on her interpreting hours to squeeze in more studying.

What motivates her to do this, to sacrifice time, energy, and money for the opportunity to come face-to-face with the residency wall?

She sees frustration on the faces of other foreign-educated doctors, those who passed all the exams but still work in the medical field’s more peripheral roles.

“This is my whole life goal, I don’t want to do anything else,” she said. “If I give up, nothing will happen. If I don’t give up, I will have the chance. I can create chance.”

Great dining, not a diner Tony’s Diner & Vietnamese Cuisine 1011 CULVER ROAD DAILY, 10 A.M. TO 8 P.M. | 730-4266; FACEBOOK.COM/EATATTONYS [ REVIEW ] BY CHRIS THOMPSON

I found Tony’s Diner & Vietnamese Cuisine by getting slightly lost. It’s in the previous location of Paola’s Burrito Place & Mexican Grill, the family restaurant that I’d pass on the left when traveling north on Culver. Even after Paola’s closed, the building was a vibrantly colored landmark I used for determining how far I’d traveled. One day, the bright orange was gone, and I was disoriented when I didn’t realize I had passed it and was already at Culver and Empire, looking at Donuts Delite.

When I saw the name of the new place, I was not sure what to expect. What came to mind was a serving of eggs and waffles topped with fish oil

and chili sauce, with a hot cup of coffee mixed with sweetened condensed milk. Though I am not 100% against the idea of this, it’s not the case for Tony’s. When owner Anthony Lam opened the restaurant in January, the original plan was to serve breakfast food in the morning and Vietnamese food in the afternoon and evening.

More people came for the Vietnamese food, he says, so he stuck with that.

The name stands, for now. After all, it did draw me in, and when I visited there was a steady flow of customers entering to pick up orders and leaving with smiles on their faces.

This is not Lam’s first venture. He helped his wife Hao Tran open and run Nam Vang on Lyell Avenue, another successful Vietnamese restaurant on the West Side (they have since sold the business to open Tony’s). Before Nam Vang, Lam was a chef for Wegmans for more than a decade, and his skills were so highly acclaimed that he was requested to train colleagues from other states.

Anthony Lam and Hao Tran’s own culinary talents and skills do not come from formal

For example, according to Anthony’s son and restaurant manager Brian Lam, while some places use pre-made or frozen dough for their pot-stickers, the wrappings for the gyoza (chicken, pork, or vegetable dumplings, $6) are made fresh daily from pulped pumpkin.

And the freshest possible ingredients are used in all the dishes; nothing is frozen, and no powder mixes are allowed. The Sesame chicken is made from scratch, too. And even with all the care taken for the fresh ingredients and style, Tony’s is still less expensive than many other restaurants.

Vietnamese food is gaining popularity all over. It’s more than just phở ($9-$12) and bánh mì sandwiches ($4). Some particular food items have become so popular they appear on non-Vietnamese restaurant menus.

But Brian warns that nothing is like the original, and says he once tried a bánh mì that was half the size of his father’s sandwich and three times Tony’s price, and used ground pork instead of the traditional solid, grilled slices of meat and vegetables.

Many come to Tony’s for the phở because of its distinct flavor, according to Brian. The in-house recipe for the broth is quite popular; it’s a bit bolder in its base and a bit less salty than others. Tony’s offers these and other traditional Vietnamese dishes, such as the bánh xèo ($9), a crispy, savory pancake, which I assumed would be a small appetizer, like a scallion pancake. To my surprise, bánh xèo is a meal on its own; the dish fills half a plate and comes with a healthy portion of greens. The dough envelopes a mix of shrimp, sprouts, onions, and other vegetables. Every crunch yielded a burst of flavor.

I also tried the lighter gỏi đu đủ ($8), a sweet-spicy salad with shredded papaya and carrots for a base instead of lettuce. It can be eaten as is, or they can prepare it with shrimp (add $4) or pork (add $2).

As Tony’s grows, so will the menu. Brian says that his father is working to adjust choices to accommodate people who are interested in lighter fare or vegetarian and vegan options.

Openings

training, though. Their knowledge is based on more than 30 years of work in other East Asian restaurants throughout the area, as well as memories of family recipes from their youth.

This fact contributes to the unique flavors on the menu. Nothing is too formulaic; each item has a personal touch.

Tu Amor Cakery is now open at 1441 South Avenue, offering custom cakes, sweet and savory pastries, and birthday celebration packages.

Local multi-instrumentalist and singer Alex Northrup demonstrates songwriting finesse on his latest album, “Long Story Short,” recorded with his band The Backup. While the song lyrics are heartfelt and retrospective, the instrumentation speaks just as much throughout the album. Northrup has a warm, endearing tenor voice, but his artistry really shines on the keyboard, as he rips through sophisticated organ solos on songs like “Sinning on Sunday” and “Blinded by Delight.” You can enjoy lush vocal production and catchy melodies on “Put on the Break-Up,” or the unexpected time signature shift halfway through “There We Go Again.” Co-produced by Northrup and Dave Drago of 1809 Studios “Long Story Short” delivers delightfully twisted alternative poprock grooves with lyrics full of yearning and awe.

[ ALBUM REVIEWS ]

A dynamic quartet of classically trained Eastman musicians, Copper Hill defies traditional Americana standards with its folk-art fusion of country, roots, blues, and jazz. Formed in 2017, Copper Hill is celebrating the release of its debut full-length album, “Once Around the Sun.” Violinist-vocalists Willa Finck and Katie Knudsvig share jovial duets in “Poppies” and the title track — their instrumental harmonies and vocal harmonies in sync. “Tangerine” features a complex pizzicato part by upright bassist Caroline Samuels, while Ethan Cypress’s banjo shines out in “Stuck in Time.” Elsewhere, Copper Hill pays dark homage to she-wolf mythology in “Witching Hour.”

“Once Around the Sun” is an odyssey of upbeat, whirling reels and fruitful ballads with melancholic, modal twists. Each song is a sweet and hauntingly lush poem with forward-driving daydream music built around it.

The Cool Club & the Lipker Sisters will bring a combination of swing-jazz covers and original material to Three Heads Brewing on Saturday, July 6.

Playing it cool The Cool Club & the Lipker Sisters SATURDAY, JULY 6 THREE HEADS BREWING, 186 ATLANTIC AVENUE 8 P.M. | $5 | THREEHEADSBREWING.COM; FACEBOOK.COM/COOLCLUBANDTHELIPKERSISTERS [ FEATURE ] BY KATIE HALLIGAN

Like the dynamic age range of its players, The Cool Club & the Lipker Sisters — who will play Three Heads Brewing on Saturday, July 6 — are a swing-jazz collective that blend familiar and new into one cohesive sound. Hailing from the Finger Lakes region, the group consists of guitarist-vocalist Rick Hoyt, bassist Trevor Findley, drummer 16 CITY JULY 3 - 9, 2019

Joe Galusha, and woodwind player Tom McClure — The Cool Club — as well as the three Lipker sisters, Marilla, Grace, and Elizabeth. Using sophisticated bluesjazz musicianship and intricate three-part harmonies, The Cool Club & the Lipker Sisters find ways to keep old ragtime swing music relevant for newer generations.

Originally formed by Hoyt and Galusha, The Cool Club started off as a jazz quartet back in 2008, and has experienced various personnel changes since then. It wasn’t until five or six years after its inception that Marilla Lipker discovered the band at a wine bar and asked if she could join in, after noticing they didn’t really have a vocalist at the time.

“I found out how to get in touch with Rick, and he told me to show up at this informal jazz jam in the basement of the

wine bar, and I went, sang a couple tunes.

And I think I did a gig with you guys, and then I kind of went the next step and said, ‘I have two more sisters and they also can sing.’”

That was the turning point for The Cool Club. “They came and took us, transformed us into something brand new,” Galusha says.

At some shows, The Cool Club still performs with Marilla Kipker as the only vocalist.

“We call it ‘Cool Club Light,’” Galusha says.

While The Cool Club also performs as its own entity, the Lipker Sisters perform solely with The Cool Club, aside from solo singersongwriter projects.

The Lipker sisters were raised in a musical household, with their father leading an AC/ DC cover band and their mother listening to jazz constantly. Marilla Lipker thinks back on how the sisters’ family life began their lives as musicians together. “With three of us

we could hone in on those three part harmonies that are really common in jazz,” she says.

Galusha laughs as he reflects on performing and touring with the three sisters.

“Practices are like a zoo, the three of them together,” he says. “They keep you laughing, keep you smiling.”

It’s clear that the rapport between band members is important. “We have so much fun at practices,” Lipker says. “We’re very up-front as a band. If someone has an issue, we have a very loud conversation, and it’s over in a few minutes and onto the next thing.”

Lipker says that moving beyond the pecking order of three sisters growing up together to working together as adults has been challenging but positive. “But there is definitely a pecking order,” Galusha says. “and Marilla is the mother hen.”

With members of The Cool Club in their sixties and the sisters in their twenties, there is a familial dynamic between each player, supporting and encouraging each other along the way, crazy personalities and all.

The group performs about 40 percent originals, 60 percent covers, with Rick Hoyt writing most of the original tunes. Choosing a setlist for each show amongst so many musicians is a process.

“It’s basically like a grand jury every time there’s a new song added to the setlist,” Lipker says. “There’s seven people, each with a strong opinion about what’s being added.”

“Mine are automatically ignored,” Galusha says.

“Yeah, Joe’s are ignored just by proxy,” Marilla respond, “but everyone else gets a chance to defend their ideas.”

The band’s mission is to show people a good time and prove that music from the 30’s through the 50’s is still relevant, dealing with the same topics and evoking the same emotions as contemporary music does.

The Cool Club and the Lipker Sisters are preparing to collectively release a self-titled debut album soon. The album was recorded live with zero overdubs — over the course of two days at Electric Wilburland Studio in Ithaca — in order to capture the band’s raw, spot-on delivery. The record includes original dance numbers like “There’s Always Someone” and “Sweet Spot,” which feature sophisticated grooves and sultry lyrics sung in flowery vibrato by the sisters, while classic swing-jazz covers like “Boogie-Woogie Bugle Boy” and “I Got Rhythm” are also included.

ROCK | BLUE OYSTER CULT

In an interview, Blue Oyster Cult frontman Eric Bloom once called his band the Rodney Dangerfield of rock acts, implying that its accomplishments have not received much respect.

While Blue Oyster Cult has not yet been enshrined in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or earned a Grammy, Bloom’s suggestion is incorrect. Blue Oyster Cult’s best tunes still hold up with a mix of killer riffs and mystical themes, despite being subjected to a ginormous, now-legendary parody on SNL.

Get your filthy paws off my health care laws “Depatriarchalizing Women/Femmes Bodies” WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 6:30 TO 9:30 P.M. PLANNED PARENTHOOD, 114 UNIVERSITY AVENUE FREE | FACEBOOK.COM/ARTANDJUSTICEROC [ PREVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

It’s 2019 and we still haven’t passed the Equal Rights Amendment. But wait! There’s more: We have a president with multiple sexual assault allegations against him. And the recent influx of state-level legislation challenging the legal rights specified in Roe v. Wade indicates that we have to work to safeguard the advances already made.

The war on women and femininity, especially when it comes to body autonomy,

is alive and rearing its ugly head. The laws don’t just attack abortion, in some cases they mean that miscarriages could be investigated, and access to birth control, cancer screenings, and other health care could be dismantled nationally.

These concerns are central to the first summer event in the ongoing “At the Crossroads: Activating the Intersection of Art and Justice” art and community conversation series. On Wednesday, July 10, the series’ curator, Rachel DeGuzman (21st Century Arts, WOC•Art Collaborative), will present “Depatriarchalizing Women/ Femmes Bodies: A Long Table Conversation and Installation,” held in collaboration with Planned Parenthood of Central and Western New York.

While most of the events in the series have been held at Gallery Seventy-Four, this one will take place at what has become a local ground zero in the battle for women’s body

autonomy: the Planned Parenthood parking lot on University Avenue.

The program will start with a group artmaking project led by community volunteer and activist Jeremy Tjhung, which will then become a pop-up installation on Planned Parenthood property. Poets Reenah Golden and Rachel McKibbens will present next, followed by some time for the attendees to view the art installation.

Both the art and poetry will set the tone for the Long Table Conversation, which will include Jessica Coleman, community health educator at Highland Family Planning; Debora McDell-Hernandez, senior director public and community affairs at Planned Parenthood of Central and Western New York; disability rights activist Luticha Doucette; artist and activist Golden (The Avenue Blackbox Theatre); McKibbens (founder of Pink Door Writing Retreat, coowner The Spirit Room); and DeGuzman.

“This event is presented at a critical time when the United States of America is in a state of emergency for women’s health,” DeGuzman says. “An unprecedented number of extreme abortion bans have been enacted across the country, many of which don’t even include exceptions for rape or incest and could include jail time for doctors simply for providing care.”

And while abortion bans can impact everyone who can become pregnant, they disproportionally affect people who already have a hard time accessing health care, including people of color and those living in poverty, she says.

“Depatriarchalizing Women/Femmes Bodies” is free to attend and open to the community. Attendees are encouraged to bring a brown bag dinner and lawn or camping chairs. Limited seating will be available. In the case of rain, the event will be postponed until Monday, July 15, 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 19

SPECIAL EVENT | SWEARING IN OF NEW CITIZENS

LITERATURE-TALK | ‘CRAZY HORSE’

Amid the family fun and games featured in the annual Independence Day Celebration at Genesee Country Village & Museum is the swearing in of dozens of new United States citizens. The moving naturalization ceremony takes place in the Village Square, and will honor 40 new Americans. Marching bands and a parade will travel throughout the Historic Village, and other features of the day include to sack races, pie-eating contests, and picnics. Visitors can bring a lawn chair or blanket and watch the ladies’ base ball (that’s the old-timey spelling) teams’ Town Ball match in the afternoon on the Great Meadow.

Burgers and hotdogs will be available for purchase from the Museum’s Depot Restaurant.

Too often, empires commemorate their own histories by covering up or overshadowing the histories of the conquered.

Most Americans are familiar with one of our best-known tourist attractions, Mount Rushmore. To some, it’s a feat of art and engineering honoring four of the Founding Fathers, while to others it is a desecration of what was Six Grandfathers, a beautifully craggy range of mountains in the Black Hills National Forest that was already sacred to the Sioux. Too few people know that not half an hour’s drive from Mouth Rushmore is the still-incomplete monument to 19th-century Lakota war hero, Crazy Horse, which was begun in 1948 by Polish-American sculptor Korczak Ziółkowski, who had worked on Mount Rushmore. Rochesterians can learn about Crazy Horse’s life and legacy this month, when the Native American Cultural Center brings his descendent Floyd Clown Sr. and author William Matson to town. They’ll discuss and sign their book, “Crazy Horse: The Lakota Warrior’s Life and Legacy,” which is based on the family’s oral history.

The Independence Day Celebration takes place Thursday, July 4, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Genesee Country Village & Museum, 1410 Flint Hill Road, Mumford. General admission is $18, $15 for college students and senior citizens, $10 for ages 4-17, and free to museum members and ages 3 and younger. 538-6822; gvc.org.

ART | ‘BEYOND ORNAMENTAL’

More than 100 pieces of hand-crafted jewelry will be showcased in this month’s “Beyond Ornamental,” Main Street Arts’ second iteration of its biennial jewelry invitational.

Collectively, the artists’ work includes metal, stone, glass, fiber, and paper media. A reception will be held on Saturday, July 13, 4 to 7 p.m., which will celebrate both the exhibit and the gallery’s sixth anniversary.

“Beyond Ornamental” runs Tuesday, July 9, to Friday, August 16. Main Street Arts, 1115 East Main Street. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. 315-436-0210; mainstreetartsgallery.com.

Film

Betalehem Asmamawe and Yohanes Muse in the coming-of-age drama “Fig Tree,” screening at the JCC’s Ames Amzalak Rochester Jewish Film Festival.

PHOTO COURTESY MENEMSHA FILMS

The chosen films Rochester Jewish Film Festival SUNDAY, JULY 7 THROUGH MONDAY, JULY 14 TICKET PRICES VARY | 461-2000; RJFF.ORG [ PREVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

The 19th annual Jewish Community Center’s Ames Amzalak Rochester Jewish Film Festival (RJFF) kicks off this Sunday, celebrating all aspects of Jewish culture with an array of

contemporary films from around the world.

The eight-day festival will run from Sunday, July 7 through Monday, July 14 showcasing a collection of 26 films that includes entries from 18 countries, including 13 feature-length narratives, 12 feature-length documentaries, and one special event screening of the first two episodes of popular new Israeli television series “The Conductor.”

As the festival gets started, CITY takes a look at a few highlights from this year’s lineup.

This year’s Opening Night film is the inspiring documentary “93Queen,” which

chronicles the efforts of Rachel “Ruchie” Freier to create Ezras Nashim, the first allfemale volunteer ambulance corps in New York City. Laws of the ultra-Orthodox Hasidic Jewish community strictly prohibit contact between unmarried men and women, and even though exceptions exist for lifethreatening emergencies, some women remained reluctant to call the mostly male local ambulance service. As Freier fights to gain support while sticking to her own deeplyheld religious beliefs, Paula Eiselt’s fascinating film shows how women of the Hasidic

community find ways to make progress entirely on their own terms. (Sunday, July 7, 7 p.m. at the Dryden Theatre) “Fig Tree” is a coming-of-age story centered on Mina (the wonderful Betalehem Asmamawe), a 16-year-old girl living with her brother and grandmother in 1989 Addis Ababa. The family is Jewish, and is desperately making plans to escape the Ethiopian Civil War by fleeing to Israel, where Mina’s mother is already waiting for them. But Mina refuses to leave behind Eli, her Christian boyfriend who’s taken to living in the woods as a means to evade being drafted into the army. A loosely autobiographical story from Ethiopian-Israeli writer-director Aäläm-Wärqe Davidian, “Fig Tree” is a heartbreaking drama about the struggle to hold onto innocence in the face of upheaval and brutal conflict. (Monday, July 8, 9 p.m. at the Dryden Theatre) If you’re already going through Jazz Fest withdrawal, the RJFF has got you covered with “It Must Schwing! The Blue Note Story,” a documentary about legendary jazz label Blue Note Records and its German founders Alfred Lion and Francis Wolff. Chronicling the creation of the label, the film shows how fleeing Hitler and the Nazis in late 1930s made the pair uniquely sympathetic to the discrimination faced by black artists in America. Treating these musicians with a respect and dignity they rarely found elsewhere had artists flocking to work with them, eventually helping the label to produce records from an incredible roster of greats, including Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, and Quincy Jones among many, many others. (Thursday, July 11, 6 p.m. at the Dryden Theatre) An extended version of this preview is online at rochestercitynewspaper.com.
