Rochester labor unions held Labor Day parades from 1884 through 1922.

The theme of the revived Parade, stressed on its 1987 poster, was the role of union labor in making the community function. That role continues today, as

We fight to secure the rights enshrined in our Declaration of Independence — the rights to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. We helped establish OSHA and enact safety standards that allow workers to return home safely each day, thus securing Life. Our members choose their own representatives in democratically run elections, thus strengthening the American tradition of Liberty. Our unions fought for and won the standard eight hour day, forty hour week, paid vacation and holiday time off, thus enabling workers to pursue Happiness.

Rochester has always been a community that works, relying on the skills of its workers: builders of the aqueduct that carried the Erie Canal over the Genesee River; barge builders; millers of grain, barrel makers and shippers of flour; horticultural workers; makers of machinery; shoe makers and garment workers; producers of optical equipment and photographic supplies; providers of education, health, and social services.

Today, as a center of technical and quality manufacturing, medical research, educational leadership, culture and communications, Rochester remains a community that depends on the caliber and productivity of its workforce.

For most of their history Rochester workers have formed unions to represent their trades and these unions have, since 1855, joined central labor bodies which assisted workers to organize, to win and enforce contracts, to improve working conditions, and to instill solidarity. They have published newspapers, participated in electoral and legislative politics, conducted educational programs, and sustained involvement in civic issues such as health, employment, and housing.

The Rochester Labor Council continues to support local workers, union and non-union, and to enrich our community through its programs and activities.

A Pride divide?

I read the article on Black Pride (“Pride Divide”) with much sorrow. I have been an LGBTQ activist for over 40 years, starting with tenure on the board of the Gay Alliance of the Genesee Valley (now Out Alliance) here in Rochester. I have served as the president or on the board of many other gay groups, mostly in California.

I had never heard of Black Pride until about a month ago. The premise of your article was that some people felt “excluded” from LGBTQ pride activities; yet, no such exclusion was cited in your article.

I have never personally closed the door to any individual at an LGBTQ group that I helped organize.

Nor have I ever heard of any such exclusion.

Self-segregating pride runs directly counter to the underlying philosophy of the LGBTQ movement.

Our first activists recognized two distinct approaches to civil-rights activism. One established self-identified groups and engaged in identity politics. The founders of our movement purposely and correctly rejected that approach. The alternate approach focused on individuals and those political-legal protections needed for individuals to thrive – as they define themselves. This approach, which has been more successful than any similar effort in American history, is our documented history.

Today, many speak 4 CITY

of intersectionality. In summary, it says that the different sections of society can effect social change by working together. Well, if we recognize community as a whole, and avoid these Hegelian-Marxist self- established divisions, the concept dissolves into nonsense. And it has absolutely no linkage to our LGBTQ history.

Black Pride is but one more example of this unhealthy split-and-divide concept. Which, again, is antithetical to our successful movement.

In fact, the only exclusion cited in your article was Black Pride’s treatment of the Rochester Police Department. If a governmental unit is not responding appropriately to the community, they should be engaged, met with, and have personal relations developed. This strategy is as old as the Republic. It is very Madisonian (read The Federalist Papers).

A Black Pride organizer was quoted as wanting to invite only committed politicians to their event. Again, the closed-mindedness of selfsegregation is demonstrated.

I would much rather walk though Pride with a politician who is not yet with us, introducing him or her to the rainbow of our community and giving them the chance to experience the dynamic mix that we embody.

I have no idea what “white focused” Pride means.

There were, if I remember correctly, some 70 entries in the Rochester parade. Was there some invisible “white” linkage therein?

Pride, and the movement to which I have devoted much of my adult life, is demonstrably

Parcel 5 for all

Rochester does not lack culture, history, entertainment, good food, individuality, or civic pride.

The one thing it lacks is people walking downtown at night. On this point I agree completely with Mayor Warren: With Parcel 5,

Rochester needs something out of the ordinary that will generate foot traffic and create a buzz.

The Warren administration needs to be careful, though, to not commit the fallacy of false alternatives. There is no reason why several features of different plans can’t be integrated into one design.

This is a rare opportunity to create a performing arts center big enough to meet the needs of RBTL; an underground parking garage; mixed-use office and retail on the first floor; a community space with trees, walkways, a fountain, and outdoor stage in front of the building, and an open park space on top of the building. Just imagine the views of the city from on top rather than below.

Our city cannot afford to put artificial limits on what is possible. I often ask

myself what Frederick Law Olmsted would do if he were given the Parcel 5 commission. I think he would create something along the lines of what I am proposing. This multiuse, multi-dimensional, multi-cultural, democratic space can achieve several important goals: It can create a major source of excitement in the form of a state-of-the-art performing arts center; it can beautify the front of the space and invite people to congregate on Main Street; it can help lighten the city’s parking burden; and it can keep the dream alive for an open-air park space on top.

Let’s proceed in the spirit of Olmsted. With enough innovation and courage, a design that meets everyone’s needs can be brought to fruition and shape the character of our city forever.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

McCain, Trump, and the state of this nation Reading the news of John McCain’s death, it was hard to keep the image of Donald Trump out of my mind. The contrast between the two is just too stark.

McCain certainly wasn’t perfect. He believed that compromise is essential in a democratic government, but he could compromise his principles to an astonishing degree. (I don’t know how else you explain his decision to have Sarah Palin run for vice president in 2008.)

And there have certainly been moments when he seemed to reveal a particularly condescending, racist (to me, at least) streak, sneering “that one” as he pointed to Barack Obama during a presidential candidates debate, as if he couldn’t bear to say Obama’s name.

But for many of us, our biggest objections to McCain had to do with his positions on important issues – positions that were consistent with his principles.

And he was willing to admit to mistakes.

He was a strong supporter of the invasion of Iraq and defended it for years. But in his autobiography, released last year, he agreed that the invasion was a mistake, and that he shared in the blame for it.

He was unquestionably a conservative, and he voted that way. Despite his occasional push-back against Trump, during the first year and three-quarters of the Trump presidency, McCain voted with him 83 percent of the time.

He was willing to compromise and work with Democrats, though, joining with Ted Kennedy to push for a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, with Joe Lieberman to push for controls on greenhouse-gas emissions, with Russ Feingold to strengthen campaign finance laws. And he formed a close friendship with Kennedy and Feingold.

He was willing to oppose his party, and his president – not often, but enough of the time to make a difference. In a dramatic session in the Senate shortly after he announced that he had brain cancer, he joined Republican Senators Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski in killing his party’s attempt to end Obamacare.

And when he took a stand against waterboarding, in opposition to Republican leaders and the majority of Republican voters, his terrible personal experience as a prisoner of war gave him visibility and credibility few other people could have had.

At some important moments, John McCain spoke out for a different kind of America than the America that elected Donald Trump.

In the New York Times on Saturday, Nicholas Kristof recalled McCain’s strong opposition to waterboarding, in Congress and in speeches and campaign debates: “I know how evil this enemy is,” McCain told an audience in Iowa, but he added, “This is really fundamentally about what kind of nation the United States of America is.”

Yes, indeed. So are the words and actions of our current president.

The day before McCain’s death, the Times published a thought-provoking column by Roger Cohen on the state of the nation under Donald Trump. Most of the people who voted for Trump, Cohen wrote, know exactly what he is – and they knew when they voted for him. They had no illusions.

Trump “was a symptom, not a cause,” Cohen said. “The problem is way deeper than him.”

“So the real question is: What does it mean to be an American today?” Cohen wrote. “Who are we, goddamit? What have we become?”

At some important moments, John McCain spoke out for a different kind of America than the America that elected Donald Trump. With McCain’s death, we’ve lost not only his occasional push-back in Congress, particularly in foreign policy, but also his public voice and his conscience.

These are very scary times. And John McCain’s death hasn’t lessened the danger. rochestercitynewspaper.com

[ NEWS IN BRIEF ]

Study probes county sanction policies

A new report from Nazareth College sociology professor Harry Murray questions whether Monroe County’s Department of Human Services has become too aggressive in sanctioning public-benefits recipients.

Murray looked the number and rate of people under any sort of sanction in Monroe County, Erie County, Onondaga County, and New York City. Sanctions are punitive measures that make people ineligible for social services benefits on a largely temporary basis. They are given to recipients who don’t meet requirements around things such as drug and alcohol use or employment.

The report draws on data from the state Office and of Temporary Disability Assistance. Murray found that over the past few years, Monroe County has been sanctioning public-benefits recipients at a higher rate than any of the other counties he studied. The disparity does not appear to be linked to a higher amount of “sanctionable behavior,” says the report.

“Sanction policy in Monroe County appears to be much more harsh than that of other counties,” and a study of Monroe’s sanction policies should be initiated,

UR leader Burgett dies

Paul Burgett, a towering, larger-than-life man and the beloved vice president of the University of Rochester, died August 25 after a brief illness.

Burgett was a graduate of the University’s Eastman School of Music and spent much of his career in key administrative positions at the university. Devoted to young people, he served as dean of students both at the Eastman School and the UR River Campus and had co-chaired the university’s Commission on Race and Diversity.

He had also served on the boards of numerous organizations in the broader community, including the Strong Museum, the Rochester Zoning Board, the Urban League, Hochstein, Hillside, the YMCA, the United Way, Genesee Country Village, and the George Eastman Museum.

An expert on, and champion of, the music of black Americans, he chaired the Gateways Music Festival’s board of directors. And he had been actively involved in the Rochester Fringe Festival since its founding.

He is survived by his wife, Kay Valentine. Private services will be held at a future date.

Who should sing these songs?

Rochester Fringe begins in two weeks, and over the course of 11 days it will present more than 500 performances at venues in and around downtown.

It’s a rich, eclectic mix, and while the focus of many of the shows is serious, Fringe events don’t ordinarily create controversies. This year, though, one show has: over whether or not the performers are the appropriate ones for the subject matter.

The show, “Holding on Through Song: a Celebration of the AfricanAmerican Spiritual,” was created by the local choir group First Inversion and was booked by one of the Fringe venues, the Lyric Theatre.

The Fringe site’s description of the production was initially paired with a photograph of a predominantly white choir, which resulted in a heated discussion about whether white people should sing spirituals.

Some activists and arts community members called for the show to be removed from the festival’s lineup.

Local singer Champagne Brown says she was surprised to see an image of white performers associated with an event about spirituals, which she considers to be a sacred part of the black community.

Spirituals were originally transcribed to choral arrangements

so that performances of them could be used to raise money to aid abolitionists’ efforts, and, later, to support the newly free black community after the American Civil War. While some of the music survived in communities as it originally had — through oral tradition — much of the history and context of the spirituals was lost.

Brown says she felt that First Inversion’s audience might be ignorant of the weight of the music, and that the show would make a spectacle of a sensitive and sacred part of black history. continues on page 12

Highland Hospital officials want to add four stories to the building’s southeast wing. The expansion is necessary, they say, so they can create more private rooms and modernize part of the building. But many neighbors are worried about overdevelopment.

DEVELOPMENT | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Highland’s expansion worries residents Highland Hospital officials are planning a $70 million expansion that adds four more stories to its southeast wing. That part of the hospital, near Mt. Vernon Avenue and Bellevue Drive, is currently only three stories tall.

Even though the expansion is within the hospital’s current footprint, the size and mass of the building has many residents in the neighborhoods near the hospital concerned.

Before that can happen, the city needs to rezone the property to a Planned Development District. Highland has to submit an application to the city’s Zoning Board, one of many reviews and approvals in a long process. Hospital officials don’t expect to break ground until 2020, completing the project in early 2022.

But some residents oppose the rezoning and say they want the city’s help in preventing what they see as overdevelopment. The Highland Park Neighborhood Association sent a letter to Mayor Warren and City Council members saying the addition and the rezoning “threaten to compromise the scale and character of the neighborhood we share.”

Although the hospital hasn’t gotten to the design phase of the project, residents have recommended a tiered,

stepped approach, using wider setbacks from the street. Hospital officials say that they like the concept but that it’s not financially feasible.

Mike Thompson, one of about a dozen residents who have been meeting with hospital officials about the expansion, says residents don’t want to see a tall building with imposing walls that tower over the nearby homes.

“We like Highland and that it’s a community hospital,” he says, “but most people move here because of the proximity to the park.” They don’t choose the neighborhood in order to be close to a growing hospital, he says.

In the past, Highland planned to expand into the neighborhood, and it bought a house on Bellevue. It resold the house after neighbors objected. In 2016, Highland completed an expansion that added new operating rooms. And neighbors fear that once the new expansion occurs, and if good design principles aren’t enforced, it will be harder to stop future expansions, Thompson says.

In the past few years, noise and traffic from employees and visitors have increased, he says. And competition for on-street parking in the area is growing because some hospital visitors don’t want

2334 Culver Road • 266-2929 MADHATTERSHIDEAWAY.COM

to pay to park in the hospital garage, Thompson says.

Highland has long been valued almost as much for its convenience and unobtrusive size as for its medical services. For much of its existence the small hospital, perched on South Avenue near Highland Park, was barely noticeable, but that has gradually changed.

Highland’s neighbors worry that the size and scale of its Hospitals officials are expansion will clash with the neighborhood. keenly aware of their unique PHOTO BY JACOB WALSH location adjacent to a historic park and residential expansion would increase the number of neighborhoods on the others, says private-room beds to 214.

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

The Nixon-Cuomo race

A novice goes after the ultimate pol Democrats voting in their party’s primary for governor on September 13 will have an interesting choice. While challenger Cynthia Nixon is campaigning as the more strongly progressive candidate, it’s hard to find many issues on which she and Governor Andrew Cuomo disagree.

The big difference between the two is experience. Nixon is an actor and activist who has never served in government and has never run for elected office. Cuomo, who is running for a third term as New York’s governor, is the son of the late Governor Mario Cuomo and has spent much of his adult life in politics.

For many political newcomers, challenging someone with as high a public profile as Cuomo could seem a lost cause. And Cuomo’s campaign funds dwarf Nixon’s. But Nixon has had plenty of public exposure as well, in her Emmy Award-winning role as Miranda Hobbes in “Sex and the City,” and she’s been campaigning hard, particularly in New York City, where she has to do well if she has any chance at all.

Nixon has been criticized for not paying enough attention to Upstate and its concerns, but Siena polls have shown her ahead of Cuomo among Upstate Democrats. And the New York Times noted last week that Zephyr Teachout won a number of Upstate counties when she ran against Cuomo four years ago.

In addition, the Times said, “in the 2016 Democratic presidential primary, Bernie Sanders beat Hillary Clinton in almost every county outside of New York City.” Either Upstate Democrats are responding well to strongly liberal appeals or they are tired of establishment Democratic politicians, at least for statewide offices. The “experience” argument could cut both ways, then.

On Cynthia Nixon

Until this year, Nixon has been best known as an actor, not only for her role in “Sex and the City” but also on stage, including a performance in Lillian Hellman’s “The Little Foxes,” for which she won a Tony Award last year.

While she has no experience in government, she’s also been a citizen activist, particularly on issues related to education and LGBTQ rights. She decided to challenge Cuomo for governor, she told New York magazine in April, because of Donald Trump’s election.

METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK

“New York is the single most unequal state in the entire country,” she said, “and it’s become more and more unequal under Andrew Cuomo.”

The odds are firmly against Nixon. The latest Real Clear Politics poll average (July 26) had Cuomo getting 59.5 percent of the vote in the September 13 primary and Nixon 26 percent.

That’s better for Nixon than some earlier polls, which had Cuomo leading by 47 percent. Besides, polls aren’t perfect.

And anything can happen between now and the primary.

From the start, Nixon was running with a major handicap. Cuomo has the power of incumbency (not to mention the power of a strong personality) and a predominantly progressive record. He also has a well-funded campaign account.

But whether or not Nixon wins, she’s serving an important role. She is hammering away at Cuomo for his numerous shortcomings. And she’s helping focus attention on progressive issues.

Nixon has strong, vocal support among many progressives. Among the people and organizations endorsing her are the Working

Families Party, New York City Democratic Socialists, the grassroots group Indivisible, the Bernie Sanders’ spin-off organization Our Revolution, Daily Kos, The Nation magazine, and Democratic Congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Nixon and her supporters say that Cuomo has tacked left in response to her candidacy and that she has forced him to act in other areas: supporting a major funding plan to fix New York’s subways, for instance, and finally getting the members of the breakaway state Senate Democrats – the Independent Democratic Conference – to return to the

fold. Cuomo, of course, denies that anything he has done is in response to anything Nixon has done.

Nixon’s a native of New York City, and her campaign has frequently focused on issues of particular interest to New York City residents, including the problems of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s problem-plagued subway system. But in her speeches and interviews and on her campaign website, she has taken strongly progressive views on broader issues, clearly in line with the Bernie Sanders - Elizabeth Warren wing of the Democratic Party.

She has pushed for higher funding for public schools, has been active with the statewide advocacy group Alliance for Quality Education, and has criticized state funding of charter schools.

Nixon calls the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency a “terrorist organization” and is in favor of abolishing it. And she supports letting undocumented immigrants have drivers licenses.

She supports legalizing recreational marijuana. She wants to end cash bail and solitary confinement, wants police misconduct records to be public, and wants to end arrests for low-level crimes.

She’s in favor of the single-payer New York Health Act. She wants abortion rights moved out of the state’s criminal code, and wants the state to require insurers to cover all forms of FDA-approved birth control.

In election-law reform: She wants early voting, automatic voter registration, and same-day voter registration, and she wants New Yorkers to be able to change their political-party enrollment closer to Election Day. She wants to give voting rights to people on parole, have state primaries the same day as federal primaries, and make voting more accessible to people with disabilities.

On the environment: She wants 100 percent of the state’s energy to come from renewable sources by 2050 and wants the state to stop investing in fossil-fuel infrastructure.

She wants the state to fight President Trump’s plan to permit oil and gas drilling in the Atlantic Ocean, invest more in mass transit, divest from oil and gas stocks, and let aging nuclear power plants close.

She wants rent-stabilization laws to apply statewide for all apartment buildings with six or more units, and she wants a “just cause” law to protect apartment tenants from unreasonable eviction and extreme rent increases.

Endorsing her for governor in June, The Nation acknowledged that Nixon has no experience in government. But, said The Nation: “The celebrity that Nixon earned

from her career as an actor is the capital that makes her run not only possible, but viable.”

“That she has long chosen to use her fame to lift up the movements for public education, LGBTQ rights, renewable energy, and housing justice speaks to her character,” said The Nation. “She may not have as much executive experience as her opponent, but as someone who grew up in a one-bedroom, five-story walk-up as the daughter of a single mother, was educated in New York City’s public schools, has worked continuously since the age of 12, and has paid dues to four different unions, Nixon has the life experience to be a governor of and for the people.

If elected, she won’t be beholden to the entrenched interests and political machines that dominate state government.”

Andrew Cuomo

If most New Yorkers don’t know their governor, that’s not due to a lack of effort on his part. Cuomo’s first two terms have seemed like one long campaign. He has issued press release after press release (complete with photos and video feeds), and he has popped into municipalities across the state, often to announce that he is handing out millions of dollars for one project or another.

And lately, he’s broadened his scope, taunting President Trump with press releases and touting the state’s aid to Puerto Rico as it continues struggling to recover from Hurricane Maria.

All that is second nature to Cuomo. He’s been in politics since he was 25, when he managed his father Mario’s first campaign for governor. He’s been an assistant New York District Attorney, headed the federal Housing and Urban Development Agency, and was New York’s attorney general.

Cuomo is vocal, forceful, and confident.

And he has his enemies, including people in government. He has repeatedly fought and undermined New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, a fellow Democrat.

“Talk off the record about Cuomo with other leading New York Democrats,” Harold Meyerson wrote in the Washington Post in 2014, “and what you hear is fear and loathing.”

Cuomo has remained just outside of the scandals that have rocked state government over the past several years. Not only have his “Three Amigos” compatriots – former State Assembly speaker Sheldon Silver and State Senate majority leader Dean Skelos – been convicted of felonies but so have people much closer to Cuomo.

Cuomo favorite Alain Kaloyeros, former SUNY Polytechnic Institute president and key player in the state’s Upstate economic development efforts, was convicted last month of wire fraud and conspiracy.

Todd Howe, a lobbyist with close ties to the Cuomo administration, pleaded guilty to felony charges related to the same Cuomoinspired development projects. Former Cuomo aide and campaign manager Joe Percoco has been convicted of bribery charges related to companies doing business with New York.

Cuomo had seemed concerned about ethics problems in state government in 2013 when he formed the Moreland Commission to investigate corruption. But when the commission’s efforts started to get too close to big Cuomo donors, he first tried to get it to back off and then shut it down – in characteristic Cuomo style.

“The Moreland Commission was my commission,” Cuomo told Crain’s business journal. “It’s my commission. My subpoena power, my Moreland Commission.”

“I can’t ‘interfere’ with it,” he said, “because it is mine. It is controlled by me.”

Despite his mostly progressive record as

governor, he has had an on-again, offagain relationship with many liberals. One complaint: that he hasn’t pushed hard enough to get a Democratic majority in the state Senate. Working Families Party leaders, in particular, say he betrayed them after promising to work for a Democratic Senate majority in order to get the party’s endorsement in 2014.

Instead, his critics say, he encouraged the formation of a coalition between Republicans and the Independent Democratic Conference, a group of eight Senate Democrats, to help ensure that Republicans kept control of the Senate. The IDC has been blamed for joining Republicans in blocking, among other things, an abortion rights bill.

In April of this year, though (shortly after Cynthia Nixon announced she was running for governor), Cuomo managed to lure the breakaway Democrats back.

Cuomo doesn’t have the eloquence of his

father. But in his two terms, he has built a solid. Some on his own, some by helping get progressive bills passed in the legislature.

Despite the Senate being controlled by the more conservative Republican caucus, during Cuomo’s tenure the State Legislature passed marriage equality legislation, which he quickly signed.

He pushed the legislature to pass the SAFE Act, one of the nation’s strongest gun-control laws, as well as a law prohibiting people convicted of domestic abuse from owning a gun.

He created the state’s health exchange and has required insurers to cover over-the-counter emergency contraception.

His budgets have increased funding for affordable housing and housing for

the homeless, raised the age of criminal responsibility to 18, and increased investment in renewable energy.

Cuomo banned fracking in New York State, directed the Department of Public Service to establish renewable energy standards, and has vowed to fight President Trump in court over off-shore drilling in the Atlantic.

He has spoken out in support of the federal Dream Act and created a $10 million legal-defense fund for immigrants. He established the Excelsior Scholarship program, which provides tuition-free college at CUNY and SUNY for qualified students.

And he directed the state Labor Department to study the issue of “on-call scheduling,” in which employers can change employees’ work schedules at the last minute.

The result is new regulations that require 14day advance notice of scheduling and extra pay for last-minute assignments.

Less popular with many progressives have been his support for charter schools, his tax cuts, and his property-tax cap. And he has often taken a pragmatic, centrist approach on economic development and corporate taxes. New York has to compete with other states in attracting and keeping businesses, he has said, and raising taxes in this high-tax state won’t help.

In endorsements, Cuomo has the big names: Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Kirsten Gillibrand, Kathy Hochul, numerous labor unions, the state Democratic Committee, the National Organization for Women-New York, Planned Parenthood Empire State Votes PAC, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, the Human Rights Campaign, and several LBTQ organizations, including the Stonewall Democratic Club.

“I have not agreed with the governor on everything he has done, both from a policy and politics perspective,” Stonewall board member Jeffrey LeFrancois told the New York Times last month. “But at the end of the day, in the state of the country, state of the world right now, to take a gamble on somebody who has had zero experience in a political or governing environment is not a risk that I think is appropriate.”

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY | BY JEREMY MOULE

The state Assembly race

Three Democrats hope to follow Morelle Joe Morelle has represented the 136th Assembly District since 1991, but come January, another Democrat will hold the seat.

Morelle’s running for the seat in Congress that was held for 16 terms by the late Louise Slaughter. As a result, Morelle’s Assembly seat is wide open, and three Democrats are vying for it. They’ll go head to head in the September 13 Democratic primary (open only to enrolled Democrats). Seeking Morelle’s seat, which covers Irondequoit and Brighton, as well as part of the City of Rochester: • Jamie Romeo, chair of the Monroe County Democratic Committee; • Jaclyn Richard, president of the National Organization for Women’s Rochester chapter; • Todd Grady, a real estate professional.

A fourth candidate, Brighton Town Board member Robin Wilt, dropped out of the race in late July.

During his 27 years in the Assembly, Morelle became an influential lawmaker and leader. He currently serves as the Assembly’s majority leader –second in command, essentially.

He has helped steer funding for important projects to the Rochester area, and he’s had a key role getting high-profile legislative packages, including the gun-restricting SAFE Act, through the State Legislature.

His successor won’t have nearly the amount of clout and influence that Morelle wielded. None of the three Democrats running for his seat have held office before, so the winner of the primary will enter the Assembly as a freshman. But all three candidates say they have experience that will be an asset to the residents of the district and that will help them be an effective representative.

Romeo is drawing on her 14 years working behind the scenes in government and politics. For the past three years, she’s served as chair of the Monroe County Democratic Committee, but before that she was chief of staff for former Senator Ted O’Brien and chief of staff for the County Legislature’s Democratic Caucus. She’s researched issues in depth, drafted legislation, developed talking points, and built relationships with staff members and elected officials across local and state government.

Romeo is the county party’s designated candidate in the race, and she has Morelle’s endorsement, too. She also has the backing of Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren, County Clerk Adam Bello, Irondequoit Supervisor David Seeley, Brighton Supervisor Bill Moehle, and Assembly member Harry Bronson.

Richard plays down Romeo’s background and positions herself as a candidate from outside the party establishment.

The primary is a chance for voters to “take back the seat from the party insiders” and send a fresh face to Albany, she says. She’s served as president of Rochester’s NOW chapter for four years and says that her activist background would be useful in the Assembly. In her NOW role, she’s worked to form coalitions; she’s spoken at rallies, high schools, and seminars; she’s lobbied lawmakers; and she’s spoken at state pay-equity hearings.

10 CITY AUGUST 29 - SEPTEMBER 4, 2018

Grady says he wanted to make sure voters had a choice for the seat, since Republicans aren’t running a candidate.

And he says that after having a “front-row seat” to state government – first as a reporter at the D&C, then through a stint at the Rochester Business Alliance (now called the Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce), and working in real estate after that – he has a valuable perspective on Albany. And like many in Rochester, he’s frustrated with the lack of progress he’s seen on some issues that affect businesses and Rochester’s economy, he says.

The candidates are all Democrats, so it shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that they have similar, if not identical, positions on several issues.

All three support GENDA, the Gender Expression Non-discrimination Act, which as the name implies would prohibit discrimination based on gender and the way a person identifies with or expresses it. The Assembly has passed the bill each year for the past decade and will most likely do so again in 2019. The Republican-led Senate has never voted on the legislation, though if the chamber flips to Democratic control, the bill will probably make it to the governor’s desk early in next year’s session.

Each candidate also supports the Reproductive Health Act, which would move the state’s abortion laws out of the penal code and into public health law. The legislation would also modernize the state’s abortion laws and bring them in line with the rights established in Roe v. Wade.

Each of the candidates also sees a need for stronger limits on campaign contributions and spending. Richard and Romeo also say they want the legislature to enact reforms that would modernize the state’s voting and voter registration systems, allow for early voting or establish weekend voting, and allow people to vote by mail (a concept frequently called no-fault absentee ballots). Romeo says she’s passionate about election law reform and modernization – which is often a very wonky topic – and that she’d champion it in the Assembly.

Grady and Richard also support term limits for state elected officials.

The three candidates agree that the state needs better oversight over its economic development programs and that companies need to be held accountable when they don’t live up to job creation or investment promises.

Romeo supports legislation that would let the state take back benefits from companies that don’t meet job performance requirements. She says the Assembly and Senate should also consider returning some oversight of economic development programs to the Comptroller’s Office.

Grady says it’s important to hold agencies responsible, too – particularly Empire State Development. The agency administers a large portion of the state’s economic development loan, incentive, and grant programs.

He and Richard also say the state should have a publicly accessible database to provide transparency about who’s getting economic development incentives and how they’re performing.

Despite their agreement on those issues, Romeo, Richard, and Grady have different positions on some high-profile issues, and they have different approaches to others. In fact, each has a different approach to the job as a whole.

Todd Grady

As a business reporter at the Democrat and Chronicle, Todd Grady covered the closing of Kodak’s Elmgrove plant and the rise of small companies in Rochester started by former workers at the Big Three.

But he also reported on New York businesses’ concerns over state regulations that, they say, get in the way of doing business here. He heard those same concerns time and again as communications director for the Rochester Business Alliance (now called the Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce).

“We talk about the same things it seems like every year,” Grady says, “and how much do we really get changed?”

Of the issues that remain unaddressed, Rochester’s municipal aid disparity tops Grady’s list. For years, local officials and state representatives from the region have talked about how Rochester gets less state aid per capita than neighboring cities. When he was at the Business Alliance, the organization launched the Fair Share Coalition to pressure the state. But the disparity persists. Grady says he’ll keep pushing for Rochester’s fair share.

He believes the state needs to invest in education, but says it also has to make sure that money is being spent wisely. He also

sees collaborations such as the Urban-Suburban program and the Rochester school district’s partnership with University of Rochester as a way to provide city students with opportunities.

He says that charter schools should receive state funding but that they need to be held to firm guidelines related to student performance and success.

The state needs to address rising health insurance and health care costs, which hurt the state’s business climate, he says. He supports the single-payer New York Health Act. New York is moving in the direction of legalizing marijuana, Grady says. And if the state does legalize it, it needs to make sure its laws are sensible and take patients using medical marijuana into consideration.

Climate change is coming, Grady says, and needs to be addressed. He supports continued state investment in renewable energy, as long as the money is working in the public’s favor.

He pledges to hold town halls regularly in the district to keep people up to date with what’s happening in Albany and to help them understand the sometimes complex issues the Assembly is working on.

Grady supports legislation that would provide a tax credit for home care-givers. He saw the benefits of at-home care during his father-in-law’s final days. But he also saw the expense his mother-in-law incurred through things such as trips to the doctor and securing a hospital bed for the couple’s living room.

A tax credit will alleviate some of that burden, he says.

deductibles like many insurance plans, Richard says.

She also identifies education funding as one of her priorities. The state’s funding formulas may need tweaks, she says, but the state needs to live up to its current Foundation Aid obligations, too. The state is supposed to be following a formula established by a court in response to a 2006 lawsuit, but it doesn’t, many education activists argue.

On charter schools, Richard says she agrees with New York State United Teachers’ position. NYSUT argues that local school districts shouldn’t have to fund charters out of their budgets and that the funding for those schools should instead come from the state.

On climate change, Richard says the state should generate all of its electricity from renewables by 2050, a move that would create jobs and protect the environment.

“New York is known as progressive on so many things,” she says. “I think we need to take the lead on that.”

She also says that in addition to its long-term economic development efforts, the state should be investing in infrastructure projects – roads, bridges, broadband internet – to create jobs now.

And she supports legalizing marijuana.

Richard is campaigning as an outsider candidate, someone who’s not part of the Democratic Party establishment. She says voters see a lot of corruption in Albany right now, and she’s not tied to any big money donors or special interests, which means she won’t have troubling conflicts.

And she sees her background in activism through NOW as a benefit. She’s used to meeting with and lobbying elected officials, she says. And she says she wouldn’t hesitate to cross the aisle or talk to lawmakers in the Senate to advocate for important legislation and try to change opponents into “yes” votes.

“This is a unique opportunity for the voters to make a decision in this office instead of it just staying where it was – where it is, from one insider to another insider,” Richard says, making a reference to opponent Jamie Romeo’s longtime involvement in local Democratic politics and government. “I think we need some fresh water. We need some fresh ideas. We need to shake up Albany a little bit.”

Jaclyn Richard

Jaclyn Richard says it was President Donald Trump’s attacks on health care and reproductive rights that galvanized her to run for the Assembly.

“I couldn’t just sit back and do nothing,” Richard says.

And one of her major priorities is getting the New York Health Act passed. The statewide single-payer health care program would impose a new payroll tax, but New Yorkers would still save on things such as out-of-pocket costs, since because the public health plan wouldn’t have copays or

When Jamie Romeo was a staff member in the County Legislature, child care funding was a major issue. The county administration had tightened the eligibility threshold for child care subsidies and cut its contribution to the program, which is funded in large part with money from the state.

Romeo says campaigning for the Assembly seat “reignited” the issue for her. Some eligible families still can’t get child care subsidies, and there are still parents having to choose between keeping their subsidies or accepting raises, promotions, or better paying jobs; their earnings would make them ineligible for subsidies, but wouldn’t be enough to afford child care.

A single mother herself, Romeo says the state needs to step in and find new ways to approach child care assistance. Officials should be looking for ways to work with school districts or other service agencies to better help families who need the subsidies so they can go to

work and support their families.

“It’s going to be an issue of resources,” but the state also has to find new approaches to providing the services, she says.

This is how Romeo approaches issues. She stresses that, as an Assembly member, “it’s not just the votes we’re taking, it’s how do you get the policy to work?”

Take the New York Health Act, a single-payer health care bill that’s passed in the Assembly for the last few sessions. Romeo supports it and says she’ll vote for it, but she says the state should also put provisions of the federal Affordable Care Act into state law as a backstop, in case officials can’t get the federal waivers they need to run a single-payer system.

Instead of diverting education funding to charter schools, she says, the state should focus on correcting systemic problems in its public districts. The state should examine increased funding of community schools and wrap-around services in Rochester and districts like it, she says.

Romeo believes New York will legalize marijuana in the near future, and when it does, she says, the state’s laws need to recognize the reality that the federal government still considers it illegal, and that people could lose jobs or benefits for using it. She supports Governor Andrew Cuomo’s task force on marijuana legalization and says the state needs to simultaneously improve its medical cannabis system.

Instead of treating renewable energy as an environmental program, state officials should consider it as part of broad decision-making in areas such as economic development, Romeo says. The state should be more aggressive about informing people about climate change and renewables development, she says. And she would like to see the state encourage wider collaboration through community choice aggregation, perhaps at a county-wide level rather than just a few communities.

Local governments can use the aggregation programs to help large numbers of residential customers secure renewable energy. rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 11

12 CITY AUGUST 29 - SEPTEMBER 4, 2018

RMSC plans major planetarium upgrade The Rochester Museum and Science Center’s Strasenburgh Planetarium will be getting a big renovation for its 50th anniversary.

Museum officials announced this morning that the planetarium will close for several months on September 4 for major updating.

When the planetarium opened on September 14, 1968, it boasted cutting-edge technology.

With the renovations, museum officials hope to put the institution at the forefront of science education once again, they said.

Songs

continues from page 6

While she initially called for the show to be canceled, she has also said that the Rochester performing community was full of black singers who would like to support a performance like this one.

On Facebook, community activist Christopher Coles, who had discussed the issue with members of Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ), called for First Inversion founder and director Lee Wright to cancel the event and engage in a community discussion.

Cole’s Facebook post quickly received nearly 400 comments, with some people calling for letters to be written to the Fringe Festival, the Lyric Theatre, and KeyBank, a major Fringe sponsor. One commenter called the performance “racist and insulting.” “Spirituals are not just songs!” the post said. “There is a deep history involved chronicling our survival and escape from American slavery! This would be just as insulting if camp songs were being performed from the Holocaust!”

Coles’ post linked to a page that advertised the show using an image of masculine black hands wrapped in chains. Coles and others called for protests of the event, and Wright says he was inundated with disparaging messages and emails.

Wright and Coles met to discuss what could be done to change the event in a way that would be uplifting to the black community. They discussed the criticisms of the production and Wright’s expertise and background, and his goal in presenting the material to Rochester audiences. And they came to a consensus that more work needed to be done in considering how the program would be presented.

“The concept for this particular concert, the spirituals, have always been really

The planetarium’s Star Theater will be the central focus of the renovations. The work will include installation of a new, fulldome projection system, new LED lights, and audiovisual improvements, including programmable color mixing.

The new technology “will allow audiences to fly around Earth and through the universe,” said planetarium director Steve Fentress, “as we create shows and simulations using recent scientific data.”

The planetarium’s Zeiss Mark VI star projector, known by many as “Carl,” will continue to be used. Restrooms will be remodeled, and improvements will be made to the planetarium’s lobby.

The renovations – planned for completion in time for a reopening in December – will be paid for predominantly with private funding from an anonymous donor. Also helping cover the cost of the project: $500,000 from the New York State Economic Development Program.

important to me,” Wright said in an interview over the weekend. Wright, who is African American, says that his study and performance of spirituals is a preservation and continuation of his culture.

His in-progress doctoral study looks specifically at early collections of AfricanAmerican spiritual music, from when the oral tradition was first being written in musical notation, and considers the way different volumes of the written-down spirituals represent the music on the page.

But, he said, “of course my interest in the spiritual goes way beyond that.”

Spirituals are part of Wright’s personal and religious life as well. For the last 11 years, he has led the music ministry at Rochester’s Downtown United Presbyterian Church, where spirituals are part of the repertoire.

And the community, history, and identity he finds within the songs made them a logical choice for First Inversion to perform as part of the Fringe Festival, he said.

Wright said he founded First Inversion because many choirs he’d participated in were so focused on the reading and performance of music that a sense of community and communication was often lost.

“Sometimes in choirs we can focus so much on getting it right, singing the right notes at the right time and making a beautiful performance, that the idea of actually connecting with each other gets lost,” he said. “My Number 1 goal for the group has always been to bring people together to learn from each other and to learn about themselves by making honest connections with other people.”

And spirituals are a regular part of the repertoire of First Inversion, he said.

For the Fringe production, Wright selected a variety of songs that displayed the range and history of African-American spirituals, and he said he hoped to share that knowledge through song and performance.

Despite the initial at-times vitriolic online posts, Coles and Wright have agreed to work together to bring Wright’s knowledge of the spiritual tradition to people of color.

Wright will host a community dialogue from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, August 30, at Danforth Community Center, 200 West Avenue. Afterward, Wright and representatives of the Lyric Theatre will decide whether the show will go on, and what it will look like.

“I hope that we can find a way forward,” Wright said, recognizing, he added, that, “you know, you can’t do anything in this world that’s going to please everybody.”

His goal, he said, is to be able to do something that helps people, and that he’s agreeable to changing the program and involving new people. “I want to do whatever it takes to further the goals of love that I set in place to begin with,” he said. “I want to address the hurt and see if there’s a way that we can all come together and have it be something really fantastic.

And I think canceling it, in a way, almost says we couldn’t figure out how to come together. And I don’t like that message. I don’t want that message.”

If the Fringe performance goes forward as scheduled, Wright will hold open auditions for community members to participate. Auditions will be held on Friday, August 31, and Saturday, September 1, at Downtown United Presbyterian Church.

People interested in auditioning can sign up for one of the time slots using the online registration form https://doodle.com/poll/ zfpm7uktw2hi2u8s or email leewright@ firstinversion.org. Singers don’t need to prepare or take anything to the audition.

“Holding On Through Song” is scheduled for Thursday, September 13, and Saturday, September 15, at 8 p.m. at the Lyric Theatre Main Stage.

Dining & Nightlife

The gyro pita at The Golden Fox. PHOTO BY JACOB WALSH

A true family affair The Golden Fox Family Restaurant 1115 CULVER ROAD DAILY, 7 A.M. TO 3 P.M.; FRIDAYS, 6:30 A.M. TO 8 P.M. 288-6687; FACEBOOK.COM/PG/ GOLDENFOXRESTAURANT [ REVIEW ] BY DAVE BUDGAR

Many enterprises — from corner groceries to corporate behemoths — promote themselves as family businesses to project an image of folksiness, congeniality, and caring that is only sometimes deserved. But The Golden Fox Family Restaurant, the most recent focus of CITY’s ongoing series exploring local diners, is the real deal.

As teenagers in 1969, brothers Peter and George Kasandrinos immigrated to the US from Greece. In 1973, they opened The Golden Fox (borrowing the name from a restaurant run by a cousin in Minneapolis) in a former soda fountain shop. After marrying

into the family, Corinna Kasandrinos, who now runs the restaurant, came aboard in 1980.

Corinna is assisted by her daughter Effie, who serves; her son Mario, who greets and cashes out diners; her son Tony, who cooks; and son Alex, who does a little bit of everything. Even some employees — the shortest-tenured has been there for 18 years — have had children work there. Tony also has his own line of premium olive oils, pressed

by Corinna’s cousin, that he imports from his father’s village in Greece, and which are available for purchase at the restaurant. Peter imports olives from the same village, which he marinates and serves in the restaurant.

Upon entering The Golden Fox, you notice exquisite cleanliness (along with various fox paintings and tchotchkes) and feel welcomed. This is unsurprising, given Corinna’s earnest reasoning regarding The Golden Fox’s successful longevity: “When I open each day, I feel like I’m getting ready for company coming over,” she says, adding that her employees and customers are like family.

“We really, really love our business; this isn’t just a job to make money; we know who’s

having babies, who’s getting married, etc. It’s an honor that people choose us.”

After my first visit there for this story, Mario raced out into the parking lot to chase me down and deliver my iPad, which I absentmindedly left on a table. On a subsequent visit while I waited to chat with Corinna, three employees offered me a seat and a beverage. An amiable focus on customers is only part of the charm; the food is tasty, well prepared, and a good value.

Even with a wide-ranging everyday menu, Corinna creates different specials each day in an effort to keep things exciting and fresh for her clientele, “which can be a challenge,” she says, “but because I like this business, it’s not a burden.”

My friend Kent and I had a lunch of specials, starting with a thick and creamy Greek Avgolemono soup ($2.95), which had plenty of rice and chicken chunks, and a bright, genuine lemon flavor that made it especially delectable. Kent followed up with a well-seasoned, notably juicy Greek turkey burger ($9.95, with a side of crispy-tender

sweet potato fries), topped with grilled homegrown zucchini, grilled onions, and homemade tzatziki. I opted for a classically delicious gyro in a soft, puffy, and nicely browned pita ($7.95), along with a side of homemade red potato salad, replete with chopped carrots and celery. Luxuriant, creamy, cinnamon-y homemade rice pudding served as my dessert.

On a bustling Saturday morning I returned for breakfast with my girlfriend Molly and her children, and we opted for a table in the more sedate back room. Once again, the service was affable and ardent.

Molly ordered a Mexican omelet ($6.95; all omelets are three-egg), with fresh jalapeños that gave the dish a legitimate piquancy. She requested the accompanying home fries cooked until brown, and that’s how they arrived — each chunk crispy outside and tender inside.

Molly’s daughter Norah chose French bread French toast ($4.95). Assessing its virtues, she declared: “I have delicate taste buds and my delicate taste buds are sure liking this French toast.” Younger daughter Jocey had the more standard French toast ($3.95), which she deemed “very fluffy and soft and still flavorful even without syrup.” I selected the Mississippi Benedict (two poached eggs and sausage patties on buttermilk biscuits topped with sausage gravy — $6.95), which had layers of distinct flavors and textures. The sausage was pleasingly, slightly spicy; the gravy was not glommy (a common pitfall); and the fluffy, flaky biscuits withstood sogginess.

On my final visit for this exploration, I felt compelled to choose either a hot turkey or roast beef sandwich, as these serve as my cornerstones of a solid diner. On this afternoon, I embraced the roast beef ($7.95, with mashed potatoes, of course), which excelled. Served appropriately on white bread, the plentiful roast beef was thinly sliced, and the mashed potatoes were real and smooth.

And the star of the show, the homemade gravy, was neither gelatinous nor excessively salty, but expertly seasoned and an excellent match for the roast beef, bread, and potatoes.

As this was my first meal of the day, I was still hungry, so I proceeded to down a buttery, salty, and golden-crisp grilled ham and Swiss on sourdough, with equally golden-crisp-tender steak fries (mainly to serve as a vehicle for getting more of that brown gravy into my mouth). rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 13

You can sidestep the blues’ requisite evil and attitude all you want, but you can’t escape it here.

It’s inevitable, man. Slide guitarist Mike “Cotton Toe” Scrivens is a likeable bloke and isn’t nearly as harsh as some other bluesmen and their dobros tend to be. And while Scrivens and his band, The Cotton Toe Three, don’t wax too despondent, there’s a damper on the joy, all the same.

This is a blues recording in the truest sense of the word. It’s a laid-back affair, with traditional cuts like “In the Pines” reflecting and reverberating with an oxidized patina alongside driving originals, like my favorite cut, “A Ticket Home,” or “Weston Blues,” with its zesty squeezebox squeezins sprinkled liberally on top. This excellent, eight-cut platter grinds to a halt with The Cotton Toe Three’s take on Elmore James “Grinnin’ in Your Face.” Give this one a spin for a grin and see what I mean.

Kevin Reed “This Thing is a Bullet” Self-released

This thing is an utterly fantastic record, peri-fuckin’id. OK, maybe I should expand upon that a little.

Second-generation rock ‘n’ roller Kevin Reed (the pride of 5Head frontman Rob Reed’s loins) delivers a thoughtfully conceived, beautifully constructed, and brilliantly executed four-song EP with “This Thing is a Bullet.” It’s powerfully poppy power-pop along the lines of Marshall Crenshaw or a lesscynical Paul Westerberg.

Reed’s voice is strident in an antihero kinda way.

The guitar is phrased as if it were more lush than it actually is, leaving sweet spots in its wake, along with room for some lyrical quirk. “I miss you driving me up the wall. I miss you driving me up the ceiling,” Reed intones on the song “Up the Wall.”

This is a pop album by definition, but its appeal runs much deeper. A good song is comprised of good lyrics and melody. But there’s also that intangible element that shows up unexpectedly. It shows up four times, one for each cut on “This Thing is a Bullet.” Go on and dig it, why donchya?

Music How do you see the new album fitting into the Judas Priest catalog?

You never know what’s going to happen with your music. In your mind, you can think you have written the greatest song or greatest record, and for whatever reason, it doesn’t touch people.

That’s not been the case with “Firepower.”

I think there’s been a lot of re-investigating of Judas Priest, and we’ve been at the right time and right place with the songs. So this is already becoming a Priest classic, and it’s only been out for a few months.

I’ve read that you have some collaborations in the works. Would you ever consider writing songs from a different lyrical perspective, like writing political songs or stepping out of your metal comfort zone?

Led by Rob Halford (center), Judas Priest brings “Firepower” to its fans at Darien Lake September 5. PHOTO BY JUSTIN BORUCKI

Rock on, with firepower Judas Priest WITH DEEP PURPLE WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5 DARIEN LAKE AMPHITHEATER, 9963 ALLEGHANY ROAD, DARIEN CENTER 7 P.M. | $35.25 - $152.43 DARIENLAKE,COM; JUDASPRIEST.COM. [ INTERVIEW ] BY ROMAN DIVEZUR

Judas Priest has arguably been the backbone of heavy metal. Established in 1969, the band achieved platinum-record status a decade later with “Unleashed in the East.” In the years since, it has released even more successful albums including its latest, “Firepower,” which marked the group’s highest charting record ever on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

At the core of the band is frontman Rob Halford, who is often referred to as the “Metal God.” As burdening as that nickname sounds, it suits him. Halford’s voice is supreme, and Judas 18 CITY AUGUST 29 - SEPTEMBER 4, 2018

Priest is the band with the definitive metal songs.

Halford’s coming out as gay two decades ago has long been a part of the group’s mainstream identity, and its enduring presence has been unbowed by setbacks like guitarist Glenn Tipton’s recent Parkinson’s Disease diagnosis.

Judas Priest continues to rock on as a significant force and Halford himself keeps a vital presence that includes an Instagram account, where he occasionally posts whimsical selfies.

Judas Priest is playing at Darien Lake Amphitheater on Wednesday, September 5 so CITY reached out to the “Metal God.” An edited version of the interview follows.

CITY: What keeps you going?

Rob Halford: It’s the music, first and foremost.

That’s the driving force for me in my life, and I think it’s the same for everybody in Judas Priest. When it comes to music it’s a constant adventure. It’s always evolving, and you never know where it’s going to take you. It’s exciting, no matter where you end up.

Judas Priest strikes me as a band with tons of great songs. Has the band ever set out to write hits?

That was never important to me until we came to America, and we saw the glorious power of rock ’n’ roll radio. Even now, one of our biggest thrills is to come into town, turn on the radio, and hear our music. But having said that, I don’t think we’ve ever really with determination said, “Let’s write a song for radio,” because essentially, we’re a heavy metal band.

One of our biggest songs, “You’ve Got Another Thing Coming,” was buried in the album “Screaming For Vengeance.” At that time we were back in England, and when we heard from the label that it was making waves on the radio, we were thrilled. The hits have happened, but it was pretty much out of our control. It’s just when the components fall into place you sometimes get lucky.

If you listen to Priest songs and you look at Priest lyrics, there are references all over the place that could be a smoke screen, in a political sense. But I’m not really an activist.

Some days I wake up and I think I should be, especially being a gay metal head and knowing that there are still all of these injustices against people like me.

But at the same time, when I stand on stage in Saint Petersburg in Russia, that’s a victory for gay people. Sometimes you don’t have to say anything. You just stand there and people go, “I know exactly what you’re thinking right now standing on that stage.”

Some of the greatest leaders in that realm have been very quiet and low-key. The volume around a person isn’t necessarily loud. It’s just you have to look at an individual and know what they represent.

You released a Christmas album in 2011 featuring a beautiful rendition of “O Holy Night.” Are you a Christian?

Yes, that’s the label I have to stick on myself, because I am. But I don’t really like organized religion. The spiritual faith to me, it is what it is, and just because there are certain elements of my spiritual faith that are more directed towards Christianity, that’s probably what I am. That’s important to me on a day-to-day basis.

Is 2019 the year that Judas Priest gets inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

I hope so, and I think we will one day. I just hope we will while we’re alive, because I want to go there. When that day comes, I want to be there, and I want to be jumping, yelling, screaming, and shouting with joy for Judas Priest and heavy metal.

ELECTRONIC - DANCE | THE BLACK PARTY

This Sunday, two of Rochester’s foremost electronic music collectives will partner in presenting a 12-hour-long dance party.

Signal > Noise and Sole Rehab, known for hosting techno and house music gatherings year-round, bring their eclectic club atmosphere to One Nightclub and Ultra Lounge for The Black Party. After sunset, the party will move from the venue’s rooftop to inside the club. Despite the title, The Black Party is sans dress code; it’s a reference to the transition from Memorial Day’s white motif to the colors reintegrated through Labor Day. As is typical of the underground dance scene, dressing to sweat is encouraged. The bill features nine DJs, including Jacq Jill and Keenan Orr from Washington, D.C., Chicagodeep from Chicago, Jarrett Tebbets from Pittsburgh, and LydiaBflo from Buffalo. And both crews will be featuring DJs of their own: Jim Kempkes and Morley of Signal > Noise, and NickL and Tony Labue of Sole Rehab.

The 21+ event is on Sunday, September 2, 2 p.m., at One Nightclub and Ultra Lounge, 1 Ryan Alley. $20-$25. Tickets are available at residentadvisor.net and at the door. facebook. com/signalnoise585; facebook.com/SoleRehabRoc. – BY HASSAN ZAMAN

Literature centering GR only on typical white feminism was important. Marginalized folk can find themselves in the bones of this book because it’s written from my lens as an intersectional feminist queer POC. I include teachable moments for white/cis- readership by providing the tools to reckon with implicit bias.

Some teens might think: “I can’t vote, my actions don’t really matter.”

Actions totally matter! To electorates, you’re a future voter. You’re an influencer. There’s power in being a young person with the skills to amplify your voice and take the future into your own hands.

You have a section on how to handle being called out. Did you write from personal experience?

Yeah, I’ve totally been called out. If you haven’t, people aren’t being honest with you. I’m so grateful for those moments, but it’s always hard.

There’s no way you won’t feel upset when your intentions were good, but what you actually did was not. Getting stuck in that place is what sours allyship. Make space for making mistakes, but don’t be defined by them. Own it and hold yourself accountable to do better next time.

KaeLyn Rich reads from her debut book, “Girls Resist!” at The Avenue Black Box Theatre. CREDIT JULIAN FOR RCTV MEDIA CENTER

The future is femme [ INTERVIEW ] BY CARLIE FISHGOLD

Teens feel a lot. As if the odyssey of physiological maturity isn’t already dysphoric enough, our current political moment weighs heavier every day. In her debut title, “Girls Resist! A Guide to Activism, Leadership, and Starting a Revolution,” author KaeLyn Rich lays down an activist’s treasury of resistance strategy as a field guide for direct action.

In collaboration with The Avenue Black Box Theatre, Rich on August 11 organized an activist fair and book launch for “Girls Resist!” She gave away more than 70 copies to local girls and femmes. “This book is for everyone,” Rich says. “But not in an ‘All Lives Matter’ way.”

Publishing freelance since 2014, Rich was writing the “Be the Change” column for indie queer & non-binary pub AutoStraddle. com when Quirk Books approached her to write the young adult activist’s guidebook. She 22 CITY AUGUST 29 - SEPTEMBER 4, 2018

is invaluable, especially as we welcome their voices into the conversation.

KaeLyn Rich: If you have something to give

What advice do you give in “Girls Resist!” that you wished you had known as a teen organizer?

to the world, there’s never a good time. There will always be challenges, especially if you’re marginalized, but ultimately you’re your biggest obstacle. I do a life goals plan every six months. On my 2017 plan was write a book.

As in, within my lifetime. Little did I know it’d bump up to my three-month plan. GR is the book I could write. The information is part of my activist DNA.

Why choose the Young Adult genre?

That was the publisher’s idea, but I think I’ll continue to write in the YA genre. Kids aren’t getting inclusive social justice history, or queer and trans theory in school. Making the information accessible in this moment

So much! Foremost, self-care and community care must be a priority. Women and femmes are socialized to be caretakers. We burn out.

Especially when being feminized in our culture means doing for others, versus the entitled ways of masculinity—assuming stuff gets done, or not recognizing what’s been done behind the scenes to your benefit.

How does the book approach privilege and social antagonisms?

I start the reader off early with positionality — who are you, what are the implicit biases you bring to activism, and in what ways do you experience marginalized identity? By the time you get to the intersectionality chapter, systemic power is fully unpacked. Not

If you could put a copy in the hands of any person, who would it be?

It’s really for the person who thinks no one is thinking about them, and wants to change it. The person who doesn’t have access to this information in their home, in their school, someone who doesn’t have mentorship in activism — but they’re mad about the world and all they need is the language and the tools.

“Girls Resist!” is available at Barnes and Noble, through Amazon, and at Powell’s Indiebound at powells.com.

This is where you’ll want to live.

SPECIAL EVENT | SENECA HERITAGE DAY

Many living in the Canandaigua watershed and the wider Finger Lakes region are concerned with the health of the freshwater that we use on a daily basis, and for some that has come to be a defining part of life in Upstate New York. During the Annual Seneca Heritage Day, guest Jason Corwin (Seneca, Deer Clan) will discuss “Protecting our Vital Waters” and screen his short documentary, “Defending Ohi:yo’.” Corwin will explain the Seneca Nation’s opposition to a proposal that would allow for the transport, treatment, and release of dangerous wastewater from hydraulic fracturing into the Allegheny River.

Bill Crouse (Seneca) will lead the Allegany River Dancers in full regalia for Hodinöhsöni’ music and dance, ice cream sundaes will be served, and pies will be available for purchase. The traditional bonfire on Bare Hill signifying the “Ring of Fire” surrounding Canandaigua Lake will commence at dark following the afternoon festivities.

Middlesex Heritage Group’s 27th Annual Seneca Heritage Day will take place on Saturday, September 1, from 2 to 4 p.m. at Overackers Corners Schoolhouse, Route 364 and North Vine Valley Road, Middlesex. The event is free and open to the public. facebook.com/Middlesex.Heritage.Group.

Ethan Hawke, Rose Byrne, and Chris O’Dowd in “Juliet, Naked.” PHOTO COURTESY LIONSGATE AND ROADSIDE ATTRACTIONS

Once in a lifetime “Juliet, Naked” (R), DIRECTED BY JESSE PERETZ OPENS FRIDAY, AUGUST 31 [ PREVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

As an author, Nick Hornby often specializes in stories of male arrested development, several of which — including “High Fidelity” and “About a Boy” — have been successfully translated into film. Based on Hornby’s 2009

novel, “Juliet, Naked” continues the trend, adapted into a sweet, amiable little romance about second chances and new beginnings.

It continues Hornby’s interest in men’s relationship to their particular obsessions, and how it affects (and often hinders) their connection with the opposite sex. But this story finds a new angle, considering the unique challenges of being a woman in a relationship with a man in a Nick Hornby novel.

National treasure Rose Byrne plays Annie, the long-suffering girlfriend of Duncan (Chris

O’Dowd). She long ago started to question the decisions she’s made in life, from her job running the local history museum — a duty she took over from her father after he became too ill to do it himself — to the relationship she’s been in for the last 15 years.

Duncan works as media-studies professor at the university, a profession that’s allowed him to dwell in his insular world of pop culture obsessions. But his life is dominated by one obsession in particular: his hero, littleknown ‘90s singer-songwriter Tucker Crowe

(Ethan Hawke), considered by Duncan to be “one of the most seminal, yet unsung heroes of alternative rock.”

Through happenstance and the wonder of the internet, Tucker ends up striking up an email correspondence that quickly grows into something much more personal.

As far as romantic-comedy plots go, this one’s fairly high-concept, but director Jesse Peretz allows it to play out in mostly low-key ways. There’s less conflict than might result in real life, but I didn’t mind the film’s sweetnatured generosity of spirit. The film’s script (adapted by Peretz, working with his sister Evgenia and the husband-and-wife team of Jim Taylor and Tamara Jenkins) keeps its focus on its characters, preventing its plotting from becoming to tidy or contrived.

Byrne is an endlessly charming presence, even while capturing Annie’s pent-up frustration with the men that surround her and their nostalgia for the way things were. Byrne is always a wonderful screen comedian, but here she finds a poignancy that matches Hawke’s melancholic performance. Their chemistry makes the film work: they’re an unlikely but plausible pairing, playing two people in the process of re-calibrating how they wish to move through the world.

Hawke plays Tucker with a scruffy sweetness and the sadness of a man certain that his career amounted to a lot of wasted years.

Hawke sells Tucker’s sincere desire to atone for the indiscretions of his youth, as he makes fumbling attempts to cultivate some sort of relationship with his five children (each with a different mother).

An affable romantic comedy, “Juliet, Naked” is about the regrets we accumulate as we move through life; the opportunities that we allow to pass us by and how we choose to deal with them. There’s an easygoing, smallscale charm to the film that makes it one of the delightful surprises of the late-summer season.

Pennsylvania State Police told Lehigh Valley Live that Evan T. Kasick, 52, of Upper Milford Township, was injured on Aug. 16 when he wrecked his motorcycle -- in his own driveway. Kasick sped into his driveway around 7:30 p.m. and struck a concrete barrier, causing him to be thrown from the Honda bike. He was taken to an area hospital with undisclosed injuries, and police issued a ticket for driving at an unsafe speed. In his driveway.

On an Aug. 17 flight between Chicago and Narita International Airport in Tokyo, a 24-yearold American man, who was reportedly unprovoked, urinated on a 50-year-old Japanese man sitting two rows behind him. The younger man had consumed at least four glasses of champagne and one cup of sake before the incident, police told Japan Today, and claimed not to remember what he had done. He was restrained aboard the remainder of the flight and turned over to police in Tokyo. rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 35
