School choice

The title of the August 20 Urban Journal declares neighborhood schools to be “popular” (“Neighborhood Schools: Popular but Impossible?”). The conditions that led to the Managed Choice system at RCSD were summed up quite well, but I would argue that the popularity of this idea rests among those who do not use our schools. If neighborhood schools were universally popular among parents, most of the children in our district would be walking to school today.

Acquiescing to parents’ demand that they be offered something other than a failing school had its roots in the federal No Child Left Behind law. It was also a pragmatic response to the emergence of charter schools.

Families will choose, and if RCSD doesn’t offer choices they will look for options outside the district.

The mismatch between where children live and the capacity of the nearest school is called “structural displacement.” This, more than any other factor, makes a complete return to neighborhood schools impractical if not impossible.

But most elementary students of Rochester could be accommodated in schools within walking distance if that is what parents sought.

The key to shifting back to neighborhood-centric schools is creating demand among parents by striving to make every school a School of Choice – a school that 2 CITY

parents want to send their children. How? 1) Every school must become a high-achieving school. We must raise expectations for teaching, learning, and leadership within every school.

2) Every school must have the resources to meet children where they are, whether that be to combat the effects of poverty or meet a special-education Individual Evaluation Program. School leaders must embrace special-needs students, not strive to get them assigned to another building. By the same token, parents need to recognize that when there isn’t enough money to go around, the needs of all must be met before the wants of the more privileged few.

Every principal needs to walk door to door and “sell” their school to neighborhood families. Most families bypass their neighborhood school because they don’t feel welcome, and school staff need convince them otherwise. If the school is struggling, they should make the case to each family that they – the families – are the key to turning things around.

These have been key tenets of school choice in Rochester since 2002.

Rather than trying to make the “impossible” case to reverse Managed Choice, perhaps we should hold

everyone accountable to these three elements.

He’s not racist

Many of your articles are well written and entertaining.

That said, you are completely one sided and irresponsibly liberal in your remarks about our president. You don’t have to like him; he can be harsh and very blunt with his opinions and policy, but to call him “racist” and “hateful” is ridiculous.

Racism has existed in this country for centuries, but it has been redefined by the left. True equality has become “racism,” and anything that does not represent what liberals believe is “racist” or “sexist.”

Firing a person who is a minority for legitimate reasons, is not racist. Using force to subdue a suspect who isn’t cooperating with police procedure is not racist. Saying illegal immigrants are not welcome in this country and securing the border is not racist or hateful. Saying Baltimore is a “dump” is not racist.

In the 1980’s Donald Trump, with no political thoughts in his head or heart, hired the first black woman in New York City as executive of his second hotel. When asked about it,

he said, “I hired her because she was the best person for this job, and that is that.”

Other minorities within his organization, from entrylevel positions to executives, seem to say similar things, that he sees production and not color, gender, or anything else. If you produce results and your numbers are consistently high, you move up within his organization.

He won’t promote you or hire you simply because you are white or black or anything in between. But because he also doesn’t believe in giving minorities an “edge” over white people, he is called a “racist.”

The liberal media and your publication claim that hate and racism are Trump’s trademark, yet nothing he has done supports that statement. He protects and treats citizens of our country in the same manner.

However, he believes that those people who are here or trying to come here illegally should not have the same rights as citizens.

It has zero to do with color.

Obama had the same beliefs and deported over 90,0000 illegal immigrants, while warning them to not cross our borders illegally.

Trump’s job title is “the president of the United States of America.” Does the CEO of Kodak try to better the lives of those who work at Cannon? Does the CEO of Wegmans pay for health benefits of those who work at Topps? Trump is supposed to put America first and protect its citizens. He wants to protect the Latinos who live here legally, near the border, from criminals who may be crossing illegally who happen to be the same color.

As for him saying it is an “invasion,” what else would you call it?

If someone enters your

home illegally, it is called a “home invasion.” The irresponsible media continue to manufacture hate and drama because it sells and creates Democratic voters.

Everyone has an opportunity in the US, even if some paths are tougher than others. The media do a great job of making minorities feel that this isn’t the case and that they are all victims of the white man. The media are the ones creating hate and animosity, not Trump. The president makes mistakes, and I don’t agree with all that he does, but I am intelligent enough to realize that he is far from “racist.”

Repaint the wall

Kudos to the long lived Wall/Therapy project that has brightened our neighborhoods for years with glorious artwork in living color – except for one panel located on Pleasant Street at St Paul St. This features huge “rats” in black, white, and gray, certainly not reflecting the colorful life of this neighborhood.

The mural is peeling, dirty, ugly, and sadly overdue to be replaced, in full color and covering the whole wall.

This section of Rochester has a long and colorful history.

The mural needs to depict businesses such as Cook Iron Works, World Wide News, the Sisters Cities Bridge over the Genesee River, the bus terminal, and most importantly the faces and figures of the residents, the real living pallet of this area.

I beseech the Wall/ Therapy project to act soon to correct this visual blight and give us back our neighborhood pride.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Andreatta, CITY, and me: a letter to CITY readers Last week, CITY and WXXI announced that David Andreatta, currently a reporter and columnist at the Democrat and Chronicle, will succeed me as CITY’s editor. David will join us on September 16, and we’ll start a sixweek transition period, ending with my retirement on October 31.

The selection process included interviews by representatives of both WXXI and CITY – not, by the way, including me. This is the beginning of a new chapter for CITY, at a time of big change in news media of all kinds.

It’s important that the talented staff at CITY and WXXI shape that chapter themselves.

The final decision was made by WXXI’s leaders, including its CEO, Norm Silverstein.

That’s significant, because David has a strong news background, including investigative journalism. His appointment is an indication of WXXI’s commitment to expanding and deepening the journalism that CITY and WXXI are already providing. Together, we’ll be able to offer increasingly dynamic coverage of the news, events, and people of this region, on multiple platforms – in print, online, on radio, and on television. David has the experience, ideas, and leadership ability that the CITY of the future will need, and I’m very, very pleased with his selection.

David is still wrapping up his work at the D&C, but he agreed to submit to an email interview for this column. While a good number of CITY readers are already familiar with his work, his role here will be different from the one he’s had – and his voice and role in CITY will be different from mine.

This week’s column, then, serves as an initial bridge between me and David.

ME: What would you like CITY readers to know about you that they might not know?

DAVID: Someone once described writing

a newspaper column as being in a longterm relationship with readers. Columnists reveal themselves to readers in subtle – and sometimes not so subtle – ways over time.

I suspect there isn’t much about me that anyone who has read my columns regularly in the Democrat and Chronicle over the last five years doesn’t know.

I wear a lot of different hats, and my interests are varied. I sometimes write with deadly seriousness. I sometimes write with irreverence. One of the best compliments I ever received from a reader was one who wrote of reading my columns, “I never know which David Andreatta I’m going to get.”

David Andreatta: Joining CITY on September 16.

PROVIDED PHOTO

I hope what always came through in my columns, even the stinkers, was honesty.

It certainly wasn’t brevity! My goodness, this answer is dragging on. For those CITY readers who don’t know me, I’d tell them I’m a writer, a storyteller, an actor, a hockey coach, a husband, and a father – the latter two being most important to me.

Also, I have two overweight cats, one of whom looks like she swallowed a football.

You live in the suburbs. Our name is “CITY.”

How did I know this would come up? When I’m traveling anywhere outside of the region, I tell people I meet that I’m from Rochester.

If they know the city well, then I specify that I live in Fairport. The point of the anecdote is that Rochester is my city. It belongs to the residents of its suburbs as much as it does to those who live within city limits.

I regard the distinctions some people make between “westside” and “eastside” and “the city” to be polarizing and distracting.

The city is what binds the wider community, and the welfare of the wider community hinges on the health of the city.

Why did you want this job?

I’m a student of newspapers. I love them and what they mean to their communities. It isn’t often that an opportunity arises to oversee coverage of a newspaper that has been a vital institution in one’s own backyard for nearly 50 years. Couple that with CITY having continues on page 8 rochestercitynewspaper.com

Action continues on grease trap oversight

Monroe County has completed safety sweeps at local restaurants to check grease trap covers. The action comes in the wake of the death of a toddler in July.

County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo had ordered the inspections after 3-year old Bryce Raynor fell into a grease trap outside the Tim Horton’s restaurant on University Avenue on July 15. Police said the grease trap lid was made of plastic and did not support the child’s weight.

Dinolfo says the county checked nearly 2,500 local businesses to assess the security of grease trap covers; more than 530 establishments had external grease traps at those locations.

County inspectors found four deficiencies, which have all been corrected.

Dinolfo has introduced legislation to regulate grease trap covers in the county; a public hearing is scheduled for September 10. And State Assembly members Harry Bronson and Jamie Romeo are drafting legislation requiring locked metal covers, warning signs, and annual inspections for grease traps.

It would be considered in the next state legislative session, which begins in January.

Council approves change in CRCDS zoning

City Council voted 5-3 last week to rezone the former Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School campus from Institutional Planned Development to a Planned Development District. The new zoning clears a major hurdle for developer Angelo Ingrassia, since it allows for greater flexibility in the development of the site.

Council members Jackie Ortiz, Malik Evans, and Mitch Gruber voted against the zoning change.

President Loretta Scott wasn’t at the meeting.

Ingrassia has promised not to develop the sweeping south lawn at South Goodman Street and Highland Avenue, but he plans to construct two new apartment buildings, essential, he says, for the site to be profitable. He also says the historic buildings on the site may be made available for residential, office, or education use.

The seminary moved to Village Gate in the Neighborhood of the Arts last week.

Pittsford project stuck in court Mark IV Enterprises’ hypercontroversial proposal for a 167-unit apartment complex along the Erie Canal in the Village of Pittsford is still alive, but so is the layered saga surrounding it.

The project at 75 Monroe Avenue, called Westport Crossing, is still caught up in a tangle of lawsuits and at the end of July, the developer added a new one. Mark IV wants state Supreme Court Justice John Ark to strike down parts of a recent Pittsford village board resolution.

On July 2 the village board, acting at Ark’s direction, reissued special permits and a regulation plan for the

project. These are the same permits and plan the board first issued in November 2012, and they’ve always included limits on building footprints, sizes, and heights.

“The village has always supported the legitimacy of the special permit that was originally granted to the project,” says Mayor Bob Corby.

After the permits were first issued in 2012, Mark IV submitted plans for village boards to review and approve. But Corby and other village officials say those designs are inconsistent with the permits and regulation plan because the

buildings are too tall and too large.

Last month’s resolution renewing the permits included demands for changes to the project designs.

The company has maintained that its plans comply with the permit. Don Riley, Mark IV’s vice president of marketing and development, says the court proceedings are in their final stages.

Mark IV has invested substantially in the project already, and the company continues to plan for the development, Riley says.

“We’ve gone too far to walk away,” Riley says.

The State Education Department has released the spring 2019 test results for grades 3-8 in English and math, and the Rochester City School District remains the lowest performing of the state’s Big Five districts. Its students are also among the state’s poorest.

EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUS MACALUSO

Rochester test scores continue to lag The State Education Department released the spring 2019 test results for grades 3-8 in English and math last week, and the Rochester City School District – whose students are among the state’s poorest – remains the lowest performing of the state’s Big Five districts. Only 13.2 percent of the Rochester district’s students were grade-level proficient in English. That was an improvement of 1.8 percentage points from the prior year.

In math, 13 percent of students were grade-level proficient, an improvement of 2.3 percentage points. The biggest gains in English were in grades 5 and 7, and in math the biggest gains were in grades 3 and 6.

Of the Big Five districts, New York City’s students scored the highest, with 47.4 percent proficient in English and 45.6 percent in math. Those scores were close to the statewide figures with 45.4 proficient in English and 46.7 in math.

The statewide charter school proficiency rates were higher than the totals for traditional public schools in both English and math. Statewide, 54 percent of charter schools students were proficient in English and 54 percent were proficient in math; those numbers remained the same as the prior year.

Locally, Rochester Academy Charter School showed a 20 percent proficiency in English and 13 percent proficiency in math.

The improvement in Rochester’s scores is not likely to impress critics who are advocating for a change in how the Rochester school district is governed. But parents and educators who oppose highstakes testing will likely continue to refute the value of the results. And the Rochester results are influenced by the fact that the district has more students who are not native English speakers.

For instance, the Penfield school district has an all-grades proficiency rate of 63 percent in English, with 24 percent of students performing at Level 4, the advanced-learning level. But out of 1,106 students tested, only 23, about 2 percent, were English language learners — students whose first language is not English.

Similarly, in the Pittsford school district 72 percent of the students were proficient in English, with 34 percent at Level 4 or advanced. But only 13 students out of the 1,542 tested, less than 1 percent, were English language learners.

In the Rochester school district, 13 percent of students were proficient in English with none at Level 4 or advanced. And out of 11,047 students tested, 1,666 – about 15

percent – were English language learners.

Nearly 90 percent of all city school students qualify for free or reduced cost meals, much higher than in any of the area’s suburban districts.

TECHNOLOGY | BY JEREMY MOULE

Local governments prepare for 5G Crushingly fast 5G mobile phone networks are available only in limited locations in an even more limited number of cities. Rochester won’t be one of them for a while.

But Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and others are already starting to market the technology here. And they’ve been making the case that this next-generation technology isn’t just about extremely fast data on ever-more-powerful mobile phones.

The technology will enable a world of interconnected devices: You’ll be able to cruise the city streets in your driverless vehicle while you download an ultra-highdefinition film in a matter of seconds and check on how many ice-cubes are left in your internet-connected freezer.

The mobile carriers are currently rolling out 5G in their largest markets, though soon enough they’ll start looking to install antennas, fiber optic cable, and other equipment in the Rochester area, especially in the city. But mobile carriers’ priorities don’t always align with local interests, and that could mean a rough entry for 5G. Already, Verizon is suing the City of Rochester in federal court over city laws governing how telecommunications infrastructure and equipment can be installed in public rights of way. To build up 5G networks, Verizon and other mobile providers need to run new cables under streets and sidewalks and put new transmitters on poles located on along city streets.

The city’s laws include permitting, review, and infrastructure sharing requirements, but they aren’t the focus of the lawsuit. Verizon wants a federal court to overturn the fees associated with those requirements. City officials, as would be expected, are defending the law.

“The City of Rochester is dedicated to ensuring its infrastructure is protected and maintained to benefit taxpayers,” city spokesperson Justin Roj said in a statement.

“Other communications providers are complying with the law while building out their networks and paying the necessary fees.

These fees are comparable to what other cities required. The city is confident in our position against this frivolous lawsuit.”

City officials aren’t commenting on the matter beyond that statement. The conflict, however, is an extension of a debate happening in cities across the country: how to balance disruptive construction with the benefits of a consumer technology that 6 CITY

also promises smarter traffic systems, more efficient utilities, and a leap forward in telecommunications.

The current generation of mobile networks — 4G for short — rely mostly on large cell towers. By contrast, 5G relies on small installations the size of pizza boxes attached to poles and buildings.

But the 5G small cells don’t have the range the old cell towers. They have to be located no more than a few blocks apart or coverage and network speeds begin to suffer. And each small cell system has to be hooked into a carrier’s system using fiber optic cable, as well as into a power supply. The city, especially, faces an influx of new equipment.

City officials are concerned about the cost of maintaining pavement, grass strips, sidewalks, medians, and other publiclyowned areas if they’re repeatedly dug up to run cable, especially if the companies don’t do an adequate job restoring them. Officials are also concerned about maintaining cityowned poles with several companies’ small cell systems installed on them.

The city requires a $1,500 fee to attach a small cell system to one of its poles; $1,000 if the company installs a pole and gives it to the city. The City of Buffalo charges companies $2,00 a year to put small cells on a city-owned

pole and $500 a year to put one on a pole or structure it doesn’t own.

Rochester also charges fees for companies to install new equipment under streets, sidewalks, or other public rights of way.

Verizon’s lawsuit argues that the fees are excessive and that they aren’t based on the city’s actual costs. It argues that the laws run afoul of federal laws and FCC regulations that say local governments can’t prohibit telecom companies from using public rights of way. Verizon is basically trying to argue that the city is making it too expensive to install 5G in Rochester.

Ultimately, the courts will decide whether that’s the case.

Rochester isn’t the only community trying

to prepare for the arrival of new wireless infrastructure. The Village of Webster, for example, has been working on a new telecommunications facility law, which lays out permit requirements and review procedures. It also includes fees, although instead of setting specific amounts, the law requires the applicant to pay for all review costs.

Spencerport officials are developing laws that would establish a review process for anyone who wants to attach small cell installations to poles or other structures. The village wants to be ahead of 5G infrastructure,

Small cells, like this Verizon system mounted to a pole in Indianapolis, are a key component of 5G mobile networks. They're about the size of a pizza box.

in part because it has municipal electric and owns utility poles around the village, says Mayor Gary Penders.

The village expects that wireless companies will want to lease space on them, he says. But the village also needs to make sure things like power line clearance are addressed.

And like others, Penders is concerned about the potential disruptions caused by underground work. He understands how 5G networks can enable new technology; the infrastructure work just needs to be done properly, he says.

“You’ve got to have a little control over it,” Penders says.

Aren’t newspapers dying?

Newspapers, in general, are fading away.

Anyone who says otherwise is kidding themselves. But there remains a market for some types of print publications, of which I think CITY is well positioned.

More importantly, though, the appetite for news, particularly news that’s going uncovered by shrinking mainstream media sources, appears to be insatiable. Like many readers of newspapers, I’m fond of the paper product. I never want it to go away. But it is incumbent upon all news outlets to meet readers where they are, and where they increasingly are is online. Newspapers have to adapt to that if they are to survive, some more quickly than others.

Recently, you’ve kinda had the reputation of being the D&C’s ‘bad-boy’ columnist. Is that a fair characterization? Is that what you’ll be at CITY?

I’ve not thought of myself as a “bad boy.”

But, hey, if Keith Richards can wear that label, I’ll take it as a compliment. I don’t think the phrase is an accurate portrayal of my work or personality, however. Columns should be grounded in facts and presented with perspective. That’s what I sought to do with my commentary. As a mentor of mine was fond of saying, “You’re entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts.” Columns should also be provocative, which means they will elicit praise from some segments of the audience and infuriate others. If they rankle people in positions of authority, so be it. Newspapers, it has been said, should afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted.

I consider myself a reporter first and commentator second. My columns elevated my profile in our community, but I believe my best work was my investigative reporting.

I hope to bring a mix of both to CITY. A year from now, what do you think CITY readers will notice that’s different?

I envision CITY breaking more news. This is not to be confused with chasing ambulances, reporting house fires, or covering events as they unfold on the spot. That’s not what CITY is about nor should it be. When I say that I envision CITY breaking more news, I mean I see it unearthing scoops, which break 8 CITY

What do you think are the big uncovered local stories?

Are you asking me to tip my hand? There are plenty of underexplored areas, but a couple broad topics that come to mind are affordable housing and immigration.

What are your thoughts about where Rochester and the Greater Rochester area are headed? What negative trends are you concerned about? What positive ones?

I wish I had a crystal ball. Ours is one of the poorest metropolitan areas in the country.

We’re struggling to reinvent ourselves under the weight of crippling taxes. The overall academic performance of our largest school district is dreadful. The political establishment runs in many ways like a welloiled patronage mill. Dovetailing with a national trend, the players in the two major political parties are more divided than ever, and there are schisms within the parties, particularly the Democrats. None of that sounds very good.

But there is plenty to be hopeful about.

Census data suggests young people are moving to the Rochester region. The housing market is hotter than it has been in years. Most school districts in greater Rochester are solid, and some individual schools are consistently ranked among the best in the state. There is a lot of development going on downtown. Filling in the eastern portion of the Inner Loop was a smart move. I have yet to see that development translate into a retail boom or a noticeable increase in foot traffic, but the foundation for those things is being built.

URBAN ACTION This week’s call to action includes the following events and activities.

(All are free and open to the public unless otherwise noted.)

Examining the Native American experience

The Moving Beyond Racism Book Group will discuss Tommy Orange’s debut novel, “There There,” on Monday, September 9.

Critics have described the novel as ambitious and poetic. “There There” is a story about the urban Native American experience told through a multigenerational group of characters who are all traveling to Oakland, California, for a powwow. The characters individually reveal the complexities of a people with a painful history and deep spirituality that they

share in common. Their struggles with addiction, violence, and identity in a modern world are presented as they go to a sacred traditional gathering that dates to a time before they were a displaced people.

The event will be held at Barnes and Noble, Pittsford Plaza, at 7 p.m.

It’s not necessary to read the novel before joining the book group.

Peru’s and its political future

The Rochester Committee on Latin America will kick off its 2019-2020 speaker series with “Latin America and the Colonization of Power,” a presentation on the state of Peru by Carlos Carrillo on Wednesday, September 4.

Carrillo is a political scientist and sociologist who has focused much of his work on international relations. He was formerly

a professor at the Ricardo Palma University and the National University of San Marcos in Lima, Peru. He continues to teach courses in political science.

The program will be held at Downtown United Presbyterian Church , 121 North Fitzhugh Street, at 7 p.m.

The Swan family already owns five popular restaurants in Rochester, but it’s their newest spot, Vern’s, that feels the most personal. Coowned by siblings Jon, Ashley, and Paulina Swan, and barman Casey O’Mara, the recentlyopened restaurant and bar is named after the siblings’ grandfather, Vern Swan, and inspired by childhood visits to their grandparents’ home in Jamestown, New York.

Jon Swan fondly remembers his grandfather sitting in a blue La-Z-Boy recliner, stirring a glass of Scotch with his pinkie finger, while his grandmother tended to a pot of homemade sauce. Swan wanted a restaurant with the same warm, hospitable atmosphere: “To me, that meant grandma’s house,” he says.

But creating that inviting atmosphere wasn’t easy. Patrons who visited 696 Park Avenue when it was home to Thai restaurant Esan might not recognize the space now. “Every surface, we changed,” Swan says of the extensive renovation, adding that 19 dumpsters were needed to haul away debris during the work. Among the biggest projects were restoring the transom windows on the front facade, and uncovering the original patterned tin ceilings.

Post-renovation, Vern’s is a cozy, hip space, highly conducive to lingering. The front room is snug but welcoming, done up in calming earth tones with vintage accents. What looks like retro floral wallpaper in shades of mustard, poppy, and split pea, is actually a mural painted by local artist Thievin’ Stephen. Dominating the front room is a handsome marble-top bar, which formerly resided in Restaurant 2Vine.

A small set of stairs skirts the open kitchen and leads to the rear dining room, removed from the hubbub of the bar and painted a dusty pink. Outdoor seating is available on the front sidewalk as well as on the back patio.

Swan describes the cuisine at Vern’s as “Italian-inspired, modern American” and

estimates that the menu will change up to eight times a year, or twice each season. The small, open kitchen houses a wood-fired grill and Neapolitan-style pizza oven. Pizzas at Vern’s are made with the same dough used at Swan Dive, though the pies will have more classic toppings, Swan says.

Like its sister establishments — Roux, Dorado, Ox and Stone, The Daily Refresher, and Swan Dive — Vern’s boasts a strong cocktail program. The menu, developed by O’Mara, is inspired by riffs on classic cocktails, and includes several low-alcohol and no-alcohol options.

Amaro, an Italian herbal liqueur, features prominently. Can’t decide what to order? Select the “Wing It” option and let the bartenders mix you up something surprising. The wine list is comprised exclusively of natural wines, which are typically grown by small-scale producers in sustainable or biodynamic vineyards, and fermented without added yeasts or additives.

Vern’s also offers an array of beers, many of them from local or regional breweries.

I visited Vern’s on a recent Wednesday evening around 6 p.m., less than a week after its grand opening. Every seat at the bar was

occupied, the rattle of cocktail shakers and the murmur of the after-work crowd making for a lively buzz. My friend and I were seated in a quiet back corner in the main dining room, which steadily filled up around us.

I began with the Fluffy Greyhound: vodka, grapefruit, and mint-topped with a blended citrus “fluff,” which added bitter notes of orange peel to the sunny concoction.

My friend chose the chocolate Boulevardier, a sumptuous take on the original with a dash of chocolate bitters for extra richness.

On the starters menu, my eyes were immediately drawn to the fried Castelvetrano olives. Stuffed with ‘nduja, a spicy Italian pork salume, the firm, buttery olives exploded with irresistible salty flavor.

Next, we ordered a salad of plump, snappy, blanched green beans with halved cherry tomatoes, sprinkled with crumbly ricotta salata; a modest splash of herb vinaigrette allowed the local produce to shine.

For our mains, we split an order of cacio e pepe as well as the grilled arctic char from the specials list. Cacio e pepe, a classic Italian dish that translates literally to “cheese and pepper,” looks to be a menu mainstay at Vern’s. The fresh pasta, coated generously in a silky cheese sauce, was a simple, comforting dish I can picture myself ordering at any time of year.

The grilled char fillet, served on a bed of pearl couscous flecked with sundried tomatoes, was wonderfully silky and tender beneath an ultracrispy skin. We finished the meal with vanilla panna cotta, topped with zingy lemon curd and blueberry compote.

After dinner, we grabbed two comfortable leather stools at the bar to close the night with a couple of low-ABV cocktails. I ordered the Hours in the Garden, a refreshing blend of white vermouth, gin, cucumber slices, and salt. My friend opted for the Manhattan Re-wind, a low-alcohol interpretation of the original, which she described as balanced and not overly sweet.

Just past 8 p.m. the lights dimmed, seeming to signal a tone shift from dinner to nightlife — a transition Vern’s, similar to its sister establishment Ox and Stone, does masterfully. Behind the bar, the rattling cocktail shakers were still going strong, with Swan himself mixing, pouring, and chatting with patrons. As we turned to leave (it was, after all, a Wednesday), our seats were quickly snapped up by patrons standing nearby.

“I love the chaos, that people want to be here,” Swan remarked. “It’s part of the fun of being out and being social.” rochestercitynewspaper.com

Moon Hooch’s self-titled debut climbed the Billboard Jazz chart in 2013.

The band’s creative credo is perhaps best articulated in the title of its second album “This Is Cave Music;” the elemental fusion of primal beats and raw horns has been culturally dubbed “brass house,” and even a progressive brand of jazz. The trio’s latest single, entitled “Give Yourself to Love,” is a must-listen. Jaw Gems will also perform.

‘Samba Jazz Alley’ AAM Music antonioadolfomusic.com

Amy LaVere & Will Sexton, Steve Lyons. Abilene, 153

In the liner notes of his new album, pianistcomposer Antonio Adolfo introduces us to an alley in Rio de Janeiro’s Copacabana district that enchanted him in his teenage years. This “cauldron of jazz” led him to his life’s work — playing with singers like Flora Purim and Milton Nascimento, and writing songs for Stevie Wonder, Dionne Warwick, and others. Because Adolfo seeks to transport listeners back to the 1960’s world of “Samba Jazz Alley,” it’s appropriate that most of the tunes are covers.

But even on the most familiar tunes, Adolfo’s arrangements steal the show. Jazz fans who have heard Antonio Carlos Jobim’s “Corcovado” countless times will find Adolfo’s treatment fresh. He peels back the song’s layers slowly, with piano, flugelhorn and flute until, finally, the full band comes in with rich harmony.

‘Keep Talkin’ ’ Ocean Blue Tear Music yokomiwa.com

Over the past two decades, pianist Yoko Miwa has established herself as a top side-musician with Esperanza Spalding, Kevin Mahogany, Arturo Sandoval, and others. Miwa is also the leader with her own trio. The group’s latest album, “Keep Talkin’,” reinforces Miwa’s prowess as a pianist and composer. She is comfortable in a variety of styles, from the bluesy nature of the title track to the intricacies of Thelonious Monk (“In Walked Bud”) and Charles Mingus (“Boogie Stop Shuffle”). Her playing is, in a word, sparkling.

Her own compositions, like “Tone Portrait” and “Sunset Lane,” have the feel of instant classics. And when Miwa covers pop songs, she favors unlikely choices and reinvents them as jazz standards ripe for improvisation. Bassist Will Slater and drummer Scott Goulding provide strong support throughout the album, while Brad Barrett plays gorgeous arco bass on Miwa’s beautiful closer, “Sunshine Follows the Rain.”

Music to the street. People don’t necessarily take into consideration getting dressed up when they’re going out. With Phantasmagoria, when people show up and really do it up, they know they’ll be amongst people wearing their weirdo best.

How do you know when the audience is feeling it?

Vanderwall: It’s cool when people dance at our

shows, moving together in the darkness. We get terribly excited.

Radar: People get into the show. They don’t just stand there.

Barrette: But it’s hard to get them to break that back wall. That’s something I’ve always hated even before I started playing music: Why is nobody near the stage? If you like this, let them know. It’s nice when they do.

So you’re not hiding anything.

Barrette: No, we’re trying to show you more.

It’s a huge performance on both sides. We want to entertain you visually as well as musically.

So we try not to be statues on stage. We try to move around. Nyk has a skeleton he likes to shake in people’s faces.

Phantasmagoria plays music that shrieks mysteriously with Gothic pathos, but without the genre’s typically morbid predilections.

Made up of vocalist Nyk Radar, bassist Maurene Vanderwall, Fayebriel Barrette on keyboards, drummer Chris Theisen, and Jeremiah Richards on guitar, Phantasmagoria makes music that’s as sinister as it is fun. There’s plenty of camp, but not enough to take away from the band’s overcast feel. It’s both dark and cool. We caught up with Phantasmagoria ahead of its performance in the Roky Erickson Tribute Show at the Bug Jar on Saturday, August 31.

Did you sense a void in the scene here?

Are you going to put this show on the road?

Radar: Well, I’m currently on probation.

Vanderwall: He has to be a good boy for now.

Radar: So once that’s over, definitely.

Vanderwall: We’ll hit all the New York hotspots.

Any chance of ever catching Phantasmagoria in the daylight? Or does it burn?

Radar: We’re not up for playing in the daylight.

I don’t think we could ever play in the daylight.

Barrette: I don’t know. I can picture people watching Phantasmagoria while sitting there, sipping a margarita.

Maybe if it’s raining.

JAZZ | MEL HENDERSON & JOE CHIAPPONE JAZZ DUO

You may have caught guitarist Mel Henderson laying down a Wes Montgomery-like solo in the Grammy-nominated band Paradigm Shift. Or you may have seen him play a burning solo with an out-of-town visitor like Dr. Lonnie Smith. And you’ve probably heard guitarist Joe Chiappone’s fluid riffs when he’s on stage with Rochester’s great horn band Prime Time Funk.

When Henderson and Chiappone get together for a duo performance, the total rhythmic and harmonic energy is bound to be more than the sum of its parts.

The Mel Henderson & Joe Chiappone Jazz Duo performs Thursday, August 29, 7 to 10 p.m. at Via Girasole Wine Bar, 3 Schoen Place, Pittsford. Free with one drink minimum.

POST-HARDCORE | DRUSE

Melodically enticing, rhythmically jolting, and raw like a gravel burn from a skateboard spill, DRUSE is a post-hardcore band supreme. Self-described as “screamo-ish,” the quartet released its first EP, “Target Weight” in autumn of 2014, and has been a prominent player in Rochester’s hardcore scene ever since. There’s a lamenting quality to the band’s bold sound, which can offer dissolution of existential anxiety — and it’s for this reason that hardcore shows are exceedingly rewarding to experience. DRUSE’s latest release, the 11-track LP “Honey from the Rock,” is a fully cathartic experience. On Friday, the band will help to usher out the Vineyard Community Space on the venue’s final night of music as organizers search for a new space.

DRUSE performs along with California Cousins, Full Body, 20 SomeThing, and Kyle Waldron on Friday, August 30, 5:15 p.m. at Vineyard Community Space, 836 South Clinton Avenue. $5$10 suggested donation. 342-8429. facebook.com/VineyardCommunitySpace; facebook.com/druseband.

Rochester Black Pride 2019 will be held from Wednesday September 4 to Sunday, September 8, and includes the annual festival and cookout, a fashion show, programming for youth, the Summer Nights concert featuring NYC native Cakes Da Killa, a fashion show, dance party, and more. The theme for 2019 is “retro,” the meaning of which goes beyond fashion and music to include a commemoration of Stonewall’s 50th anniversary, just as Pride celebrations across the country have this year.

16 CITY AUGUST 28 - SEPTEMBER 3, 2019

This year’s event will also feature the first Trans Day of Excellence, which was formerly known as the Trans Brunch. During the event, three scholarships and grants will be awarded to trans community members, while still honoring the work and contributions of the black trans community with awards and acknowledgements. The event’s keynote speaker is Elle Hearns, founder and executive director of the Marsha P. Johnson Institute, an organization that protects and defends the black trans community.

While Black Pride is a celebration of identity and community, organizers also want to send a message of inclusion to allies, says co-organizer Shani Wilson. While Rochester Black Pride is meant to create a safe space for black, brown, and Latinx people to celebrate who they are, everyone is welcome to come to every event, no matter how you identify, she says.

“Standing in solidarity and showing your support would mean the world to the people that are actively engaged, working

day-to-day to make sure that these voices are heard,” Wilson says.

These events are crucial in providing a platform for the words, names, and faces of those who are struggling the most in the community, Wilson says.

She says that organizers want allies — both white allies and heteronormative brown and Latinx people — to not only feel welcome but also to understand that allyship means attending, mingling with the community, and supporting these endeavors financially.

“It’s one thing to share a post, but it’s another thing to also show up,” she says.

Wilson works as a physician’s assistant at Trillium, and specifically focuses on supports for the black trans community, and she says she witnesses the impact that violence and the lack of resources has on vulnerable community members.

“We already know nationally that this is an emergency, and we need to be actually creating spaces for people to feel safe and also for people to raise money for people to be in

Few artists make a living solely from their own artwork, but many teach or work in art-supporting fields that are adjacent to creation.

They curate or work as exhibition preparators. Yet they continue to create their own work, after hours, on weekends, or whenever possible. Bearing this in mind, Rochester Contemporary Art Center has initiated what will be a new biennial exhibit that spotlights the work of these individuals. “Take Back the Walls” opens on Saturday, August 31, featuring the 60 artworks by 21 artists who work at 15 arts institutions and galleries across New York State. The show was juried by Karlos Carcamo, a multidisciplinary artist and a framer at the Museum of Modern Art, whose work was included in RoCo’s 2013 exhibition, “Street-ish.” An “Industry Night” opening reception will be held Saturday, August 31, 6-9 p.m.

“Take Back the Walls” continues through Saturday, September 21, at Rochester Contemporary Art Center, 137 East Avenue. Wednesday through Sunday, noon to 5 p.m.; Friday, noon to 9 p.m. $2, free to members. 461-2222; rochestercontemporary.org.

EXHIBIT | ‘EVERYDAY PEOPLE’ A new exhibit at Central Library sheds light on Rochester’s history — touching on segregation, the Civil Rights era, and visits by Malcolm X — through one family’s collection of photographs, documents, and ephemera that spans 150 years. “Everyday People: the Dinkle Family and Rochester’s African American Past,” tells the story of an African American family that has lived in the Rochester area since the late 19th century, revealing five generations of ordinary lives impacted by historical events and sociopolitical movements. Library patrons Karen Dinkle Bunton and Jerry Bunton and their friend Lisa Kleman brought the materials to the library in 2018, providing an opportunity for the Local History and Genealogy Department to add to its special collections, which has historically underrepresented the lives of African Americans in our region.

“Everyday People” continues through 2020 (exact date TBD) at the Local History and Genealogy Division, 2nd floor of the Central Library of Rochester, 115 South Avenue. Monday and Wednesday, 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.; Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Free admission. 428-8370; roccitylibrary.org.

Film

Octavia Spencer, Kelvin Harrison Jr., and Naomi Watts in “Luce.” PHOTO COURTESY JONPACK/NEON

Secrets and lies “Luce” (R), DIRECTED BY JULIUS ONAH OPENS FRIDAY, AUGUST 30 [ PREVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

A conflict between a high school teacher and her star pupil fuels the timely psychological drama “Luce.” Confronting the issues of tokenism and race, it’s a riveting and thought-provoking movie that resides entirely in gray areas, swirling in ideas of youth, class, and opportunity.

The film’s plot is kicked into gear with an essay written by Luce Edgar (played by Kelvin Harrison Jr.), the exceptional, model student of his suburban Virginia high school. A refugee from Eritrea, Luce was adopted when he was 7-years-old by his white liberal parents, Peter (Tim Roth) and Amy (Naomi Watts).

The film is somewhat vague about his early life, but it’s suggested that he suffered some trauma in his war-torn homeland and even spent time as a child soldier.

Peter and Amy spent years with him in therapy, working to earn his trust and helping him overcome the horrors of his childhood to

develop into the fine young man he is today.

And by all accounts, they’ve done a great job.

He’s every bit the golden boy they dreamed he’d become: a star athlete, valedictorian, and well-liked by both peers and teachers alike.

But the lustrous veneer of his image threatens to crack after he turns in a rather incendiary paper to his history teacher, Harriet Wilson (Octavia Spencer). Given the assignment to write in the voice of a historical figure, Luce settled on Frantz Fanon as his subject. A pan-Africanist philosopher, Fanon argued that violence and brutality were sometimes a moral necessity in the fight against colonialism. Harriet’s alarmed

enough by the paper’s content that she begins questioning Luce’s picture-perfect exterior.

Her fears are compounded when she finds a bag of fireworks in the boy’s locker. The combination of violent, revolutionary rhetoric and potentially dangerous explosives lead her to fear there may be a deeply-ingrained anger beneath Luce’s friendly demeanor. That maybe the atrocities he was exposed to (or possibly committed) as a boy might have permanently altered his view of the world in a way that can’t entirely be washed away.

We see the tightrope Luce is forced to walk in his daily life, the astronomical expectations placed on him, and the various lenses through which others view him. While talking with a white friend about another teammate, DeShaun (Astro), who was recently kicked off their track team for drug-related offenses, the friend brushes off the comparison Luce draws between himself and the other boy. His friend fumbles for an explanation for his dismissal, finally reasoning that DeShaun is “black, black.”

Understandably, Luce asks what that makes him. “You’re just... Luce,” the boy responds.

The story asks us to question what we think we know about people, leaving us to decipher what its character’s motivations truly are. As Harriet continues her quest to uncover the truth, Luce’s parents do whatever they can to defend their son against (what they come to believe is) a rogue teacher’s malicious vendetta.

The film’s at its best when it’s delving into thorny ideas about the politics of respectability and the pressure faced by those in America who aren’t white or lucky enough to be born here, to act as exemplary models of their particular race.

Luce is constantly faced with people who want to turn him into a symbol to prove their own beliefs.

But it’s impossible to be everything to everyone.

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

OCTOBER 11TH - DECEMBER 13TH From the conditions of work and the workplace to organizing struggles, from discrimination and redundancy to globalization and immigration, from blue and white to pink collars, these nine films are at once moving, entertaining and informative.

You won’t want to miss a single one.
