America chose fascism
What we’ve seen is what we will get: Donald Trump not only looks like Mussolini — he acts like Mussolini. He has no respect for law; the law is what he says it is. If you don’t agree with him 100 percent, he will destroy you. Swastikas on walls are already multiplying. He will stack the Supreme Court with his cronies, I guarantee you Paul Ryan will not be speaker of the House come January, and the safeguard of three independent branches of government will no longer exist. “It couldn’t happen here,” Americans have said about Nazi Germany or fascist Italy. On November 8, it did. Fascism: “the merging of state and business leadership with an ideology of belligerent nationalism.” GIL FRENCH
Remembering Tom Hampson
CITY provided an amazingly comprehensive article about Tom Hampson in its February 4, 2004, issue — forever after the main reference for information about Hampson and a big help to him personally as he would simply refer to the article. Hampson apologized for taking time from one of his “Jazz from the Cellar” programs to tell his listeners about the turn his personal life had taken. Life changed when his wife, Zena, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. After two years of dealing with it at home, they moved to Wolk Manor, but in two different buildings. With 2 CITY

help, he worked out placing his huge collection of records, tapes, and CD’s, and could manage to continue doing his programs, but the move had been difficult. He was feeling old at 87. On the phone, he said he missed 83 Berkeley Street, where he had lived so long. “I’m one of two men here in Wolk Manor who still drives, so I can take my wife to all her appointments with the dentist and doctors,” he said. He said he took longer to recall names on the program and worried he would forget one entirely. But he was still as sharp as usual, or so it seemed. Mixing up Wildroot Cream Oil and Brylcreem bothered him, but it was good for a laugh. In the CITY article, he wished only that a different photo of him had appeared on the cover. It was humorous, but made him look too wild, not as he perceived himself. His excellent obituary had a very good photo, but no address for condolences, only a destination for donations. There were reasons, surely, but it left an impression that Tom Hampson himself would not have left. Thanks to his family and WXXI, his program will continue on so that with a little make-believe, we can imagine him there in the Berkeley Street basement, with his drum set at the ready. BYRNA WEIR

OPINION | BY JAKE CLAPP
Jake Clapp is Arts and Entertainment Editor at CITY. Mary Anna Towler’s Urban Journal is on break and will return next week.
Hope for progressives For a lot of young adults, the election of Donald Trump feels like the outright rejection of our ideals — like all the worst factions in American society won out over our better instincts. It’s hard not to think the immediate future is bleak. But there is hope. Progressivism isn’t dead. It certainly feels like it’s been bashed over the head with a chair and kicked a few times. But it’s slowly picking itself back up. While anti-Trump protests continue into a third week, Planned Parenthood has received more than 200,000 donations since November 9 — at least 46,000 of those made in the name of Vice Presidentelect Mike Pence. And other non-profits have seen their own significant spikes in charitable giving. The New York Times has added 41,000 paid subscriptions; The New Yorker received more than 10,000 new subscriptions within three days of the election, and The Washington Post, The Atlantic, and Mother Jones have seen an uptick in paid support. The greatest cause for hope, though, is us: young liberals. And it’s time we took that responsibility seriously. Clinton won the 18-44-year-old vote by a significant margin, especially with 18-29 year olds. And that’s despite a campaign that didn’t quite manage to pick up the enthusiasm Bernie Sanders created during the primary. As of last July, Millennials and Gen X-ers surpassed Baby Boomers as the largest block of eligible voters (although it’s got to be mentioned that those people didn’t come out in a significant way this election). Young progressives have a real responsibility, and an opportunity, now. It will be a hard fight, but we need to make our voices heard against regressive policies, against racism, sexism, and xenophobia of all kinds. And while social media has become a great tool, it can’t replace real in-person activism. It’s more important than ever for young progressives to become directly involved in local politics; there are battles to be fought here in Rochester. And above all else, we need to recognize our own social bubbles. We can’t be afraid to talk to those with opposing views. Allies of disenfranchised groups should talk frankly with our own communities about how a vote for Trump was really a pass for the horrible rhetoric he embodied on the campaign trail. Men need to talk to men about the sexism behind Trump’s “locker room talk”; whites need to reach out to other whites
Above all else, we need to recognize our own social bubbles. We can’t be afraid to talk to those with opposing views.” to explain the coded language behind “law and order.” And when conservatives say, “I was appalled by what he said, but I voted to shake up the system,” hold their feet to the fire when the Trump administration suggests policies like a registry of immigrants from Muslim countries. Trump’s policies will hurt the people who voted for him — not to mention people in marginalized communities who have fought for decades for their rights. Trump pitched his tax plan as cuts for the working and middle classes, but it will be the top 1 percent who will benefit the most. In fact, many middle-class families, especially single-parent families, will see an increase in their taxes, according to the Tax Policy Center. The center also speculates that the government will lose $6.2 trillion in revenue, so under a Republican Congress, it’s not hard to imagine significant cuts to the programs many working class people depend on. No one gets out of this happy. The future of the Democratic Party, at all levels, depends on its commitment to progressive policies, and its ability to effectively communicate to all people how those policies benefit everyone. Those in power should take note: while the Democratic bench is weak, this is an opportunity to rebuild with integrity, honesty, and transparency. Those were policies young liberals were shouting for during the primaries. We can’t underestimate our own power in this post-election period. It’s time to put that power to work.

Coalition says keep Cobbs Hill Village A new coalition has formed to push back on a proposed housing project within Cobbs Hill Park. The Coalition for Cobbs Hill Park includes some residents of Cobbs Hill Village, as well as the Upper Monroe Neighborhood Association, Sierra Club, ABC Streets Neighborhood Association, and other groups. Rochester Management Inc. wants to tear down and replace Cobbs Hill Village, a modest senior housing development in the park. The six one-story buildings are outdated and remodeling them isn’t cost-effective, the company says. Seniors are living longer and their needs are different, says Peggy Hill, the company’s president and CEO.
The new apartments will be designed to help seniors age in place, and the complex will have a small fitness room, computer lab, and indoor community space, she says. But coalition member Lee Sengbusch says that the current buildings are in good shape and that the majority of Cobbs Hill Village residents are happy with the complex the way it is. “Everything is fine,” he says. “They have no reason to do anything other than they want to double the population and double the rents.” Sengbusch also plans to start a tenants’ association at Cobbs Hill Village so residents can speak with one voice, he says.

Rochester Management unveiled plans earlier this year to replace Cobbs Hill Village with two four-story buildings. The new buildings would each house a mix of affordable and market-rate apartments. Outcry from neighbors, environmentalists, and some of the complex’s residents was immediate. They said the plan would drastically change the park and potentially displace the residents of Cobbs Hill Village — a charge that Hill denies. Rochester Management is revising the design at the request of Mayor Lovely Warren, who said the original plan was not appropriate for the site. No date is set yet to reveal the new plans.

EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
Verbal attack prompts letter to Trump “Dee,” a fifth grader at School 4 in the Rochester City School District, has some advice for Donald Trump. The 10-year-old, whose real name is being withheld, wrote a letter to the president-elect about the inappropriate and disrespectful language he used during the campaign, she says. Dee says Trump can do better. “I know you wanted to be president of the United States, but you didn’t have to say and do those things that hurt other people,” she wrote. “I know deep down in your heart, you didn’t want to say or do those things. You shouldn’t have to be somebody you are not just so people can vote for you.” Dee’s teacher, Yun Amy Zhan, posted a copy of the letter to Trump’s Facebook page and plans to send it to either the White House or to Trump’s residence in New York City. Dee came to the US from Tanzania with her family six years ago. She decided to write to Trump after an incident that occurred two days after the presidential election. Zhan took some children to a horse-riding trail earlier that day and was driving Dee home when another driver pulled up next to them in downtown Rochester. The other driver yelled at Zhan,

who is Chinese-American, using an Asian slur, Zhan says. When Zhan asked him not to frighten her student, he directed a racial slur at Dee and then drove off. Dee was shaken, and put her thoughts into her letter. “He looked at us like we were crazy and shouted disrespectful things about my teacher and her race and her driving,” Dee wrote. “He used a very negative and inappropriate word about me and my skin color. That made me feel like I didn’t matter.” Dee, who says she wants to be a doctor, doesn’t blame Donald Trump for what the driver said. But she wants Trump to know that he’s accountable for his actions and that he should set a good example because others are watching him; they may think that it’s O.K. to be disrespectful, since he has been, she says. “I want him to become the president we need him to be,” she says. Dee says she didn’t care whether Trump or Hillary Clinton won the election. The president of the United States, whoever it is, has to be a good person and treat everyone with respect, she says. And she would like Trump to come to School 4 to visit her and to meet her teacher and her classmates.

Police poll The Rochester Police Department wants your feedback on the police reorganization. You can fill out a short survey at www. surveymonkey.com/r/RPDreorg until November 30. The RPD reorganized from essentially two divisions — one on each side of the river and a smaller downtown section — to five in the spring of 2015. The main purpose of the effort is to increase police presence in the neighborhoods and to improve police-community relations. The police union, the Locust Club, has criticized the restructuring. Without putting more police buildings in the neighborhoods, the reorganization is merely a feelgood effort, the union says. The City of Rochester has said that it’s considering additional police buildings. The survey consists of 18 questions. It asks how safe you feel in your neighborhood, what the current level of crime in your neighborhood is, if you feel the city is safer now than it was last year, if you feel comfortable reporting a crime to the police, if you personally know the police officers responsible for your neighborhood, and other questions. The survey is part of the RPD’s one-year evaluation of the reorganization. The evaluation will cover the period from July 20, 2015, to July 19, 2016.

Rochester plans local action on climate
This year has been one long string of bad news for the climate. Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels passed an undesirable threshold, arctic sea ice melted at record levels, average global temperature records were repeatedly beaten, and a quarter of the Great Barrier Reef’s coral died during a massive bleaching event. This is what manmade climate change looks like, and across the world, communities and countries are asking how they can fight it. The City of Rochester’s answer is its recently released Climate Action Plan. The document sets a goal of reducing citywide greenhouse gas emissions 40 percent by 2030 and provides a blueprint to get there. Officials are taking comment on the plan right now, and expect it’ll go to City Council for a vote within the next few months. “I think that the city should be just commended for a really broad plan that has a lot of parts, that really is a good road map of how we can get to a cleaner community in the future,” says Scott Oliver, deputy for energy programs at PathStone, a housing nonprofit that coordinates some government energy efficiency and renewables incentive programs locally. The City of Rochester is already making emissions reduction efforts, and the plan builds on those. The city is installing electric vehicle charging stations for public use in parking garages and at places such as the Public Market; it’s working through a plan to make city streets friendlier to cyclists. And officials solicited a developer to build a big solar array on a closed city landfill, from which the city will buy electricity. But officials put the plan together because they see climate action as a way to create jobs, 6 CITY

boost the city’s economy, improve air quality and public health, reduce energy costs, and ensure the city’s vibrancy. And they want to get the city’s residents and businesses to act, too. The plan suggests ways to make owneroccupied and rental residences more energy efficient, to get people to install solar panels and other renewable energy systems, and to get residents to cut down on natural gas consumption, possibly by switching to electric heating systems and appliances. It also recommends that the city partner with Rochester-Genesee Regional Transportation Authority to improve bus systems and boost ridership. Much of the plan centers on voluntary efforts, however, which concerns members of the Rochester People’s Climate Coalition, says Abigail McHugh Grifa, a member of the organization’s leadership team. For example, commercial building owners are unlikely to voluntarily report their buildings’ energy use, she says. “Certainly, it would have more teeth, it would go further, and it would be more impactful if it were mandatory,” she says. The People’s Climate Coalition is generally happy with the plan, however. The group is proud of the city for stepping up and making climate action a priority. And it wants to work with city officials to implement the recommendations, McHughGrifa says. A citywide greenhouse gas inventory is at the
center of the Climate Action Plan. The city identified various sources, calculated their annual emissions, and then eliminated things such as large emitters and airplanes, which it couldn’t really impact.
The city calculated that: • Natural gas use accounts for 51 percent of citywide emissions; • Vehicles generate 24 percent; • Electricity is responsible for 22 percent; • Refuse sent to landfills generates 3 percent; • Water and wastewater systems are responsible for less than 1 percent. Citywide emissions decreased 8 percent between 2010 and 2014, according to the plan. The city’s electricity supply became cleaner over that timeframe, which was a major factor in the emissions drop. Decreases in vehicle emissions were another factor. The plan points to a major step that the city could take to further clean up its electric supply: Community Choice Aggregation. Earlier this year, the state eased requirements for local governments to buy and provide electricity for residents and small businesses. RPCC and PathStone’s Oliver are excited about the possibility, and the city is working with some Monroe County towns to investigate the concept; the city could pursue Community Choice Aggregation on its own, or in partnership with other governments. The approach would, in all likelihood, save residents and businesses money, since the city would buy power in bulk. But it would also be a way to secure low-carbon and renewable electricity for its power users. That combo would benefit affluent and low-income residents alike. “It’s a way for the city to support renewable energy in a way they’re currently not able to support,” Oliver says Equity is a big theme in the plan. The
energy efficiency programs that PathStone coordinates are accessible to property owners,
not renters. And incentives for things such as rooftop solar power systems generally benefit more affluent homeowners who can afford the upfront costs. Renters have far less control over energysaving improvements that would also slash their utility bills. But rental property owners do have access to incentives for such improvements. For example, landlords can get substantial grants and low-interest loans for replacing old furnaces with new high-efficiency units, Oliver says. The Climate Action Plan recommends that the city and organizations such as PathStone reach out to rental property owners -- and to tenants, who can influence their landlords -- to increase awareness of efficiency programs. The plan also raises the possibility that the city could tie energy efficiency to periodic certificate of occupancy renewals, just as it does with lead paint testing. But city officials say that code enforcement’s heavy workload might make that impractical. The plan also recommends that the city boost urban agriculture, provide easy pedestrian and bicycle access to bus stops, and ensure that climate actions are consistent with the work of the Rochester-Monroe Anti-Poverty Initiative. Many other cities and communities around the county are developing or have developed
climate action plans, including Raleigh, North Carolina; Knoxville, Tennessee; Fort Collins, Colorado; Phoenix, Arizona; and Portland, Oregon. Local climate action is arguably more important now than it has ever been. President Barack Obama made some aggressive efforts to curb US greenhouse gas emissions and to implement anti-climate change regulations. But President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to gut, cripple, or eliminate federal climate programs, end the “war on coal,” and pull the US out of the Paris accord, which has just gone into effect. The Trump White House and the GOP-controlled Congress will be no friend to the climate. That means individuals, towns, villages, cities, counties, and states will have to take the lead on cutting climate-altering emissions. Citizens will have to press their governments for climate-friendly policies and programs and will have to show elected officials that acting on climate isn’t a political liability. Rochesterians have that opportunity right now with the Climate Action Plan. “People need to get involved in this process and speak up and let the city know what the priorities should be, what they need to be,” RPCC’s McHugh-Grifa says. “Because if the community is not involved, these decisions will be made by someone else who’s not necessarily living there and is not affected on a day-to-day basis.”

BAIL FAIL In Monroe County and across the country, people are held in jail for days, weeks, and months because they can’t pay a few hundred dollars’ bail. BAIL REFORM | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN
ILLUSTRATION BY ADAM MAIDA
Stuck in jail for a month or more, the man’s schizophrenia worsened. He started to hallucinate, developed severe paranoia, and lost a ton of weight. He was accused of petit larceny for allegedly stealing a slice of pizza from Wegmans, says Jonathan Schnader, assistant public defender for Monroe County. Schnader represented the man and says that the charge was ultimately dismissed. It’s a scenario that Schnader and other county public defenders say they see play out day after day: people arrested on a minor charge who then sit in jail because they can’t afford what would seem to many people a low amount of bail. Everyone arrested in the City of Rochester is either arraigned the following morning or issued a ticket with an appearance date. (Monroe County towns and villages do their own arraignments, for the most part.) Once in front of a judge, some of the arrestees are released on their own recognizance until trial or until their case is resolved in some other way. Some post bail. Some are released but with supervision. Others stay in jail because of the nature of their alleged crimes or because the judge believes they are flight risks. And some stay in jail for days or weeks or longer because they can’t afford bail. Every day, about 30 people are being held in one of two Monroe County jails on bail amounts less than

$1,000. These are people who face a single charge for a nonviolent offense such as petit larceny or disorderly conduct, and more often than not, they are poor people of color. Nationally, blacks are held in pre-trial detention at a rate that’s almost five times greater than that of whites, according to a 2012 Justice Policy Institute report. For Latinos, it’s three times greater, the report says. While they’re behind bars, their already fragile lives often come unraveled: they lose jobs, relationships, apartments, custody of their children, and placement in rehab facilities on bails as low as $75. “They get torn to shreds,” says Andre Vitale, special assistant public defender for Monroe County. Their jail time also impacts their case, says Monroe County Public Defender Tim Donaher. The biggest asset defense attorneys have when preparing a case is the ability to freely interact with their clients and their clients’ friends and family, he says. But that interaction is limited when the client is in jail, Donaher says. In addition, defendants tend to get better plea deals when they’re not in custody because they don’t feel as pressured to take the first deal offered just to get out of jail, Schnader says. The long-term consequences of pre-trial detention can be worse. Studies show that people who don’t make bail are much more likely to be convicted and to receive harsher sentences than people who can afford to post bail. They’re also more likely to accept plea bargains, even if they haven’t done anything wrong. “Many times, individuals have so much pressure to get out that they’ll just plead guilty to something or anything just to get out of jail,” Vitale says. “More than once, when I was handling misdemeanor cases, it took so long for a case to come to trial, especially in town courts, that I actually got the individual released because they had served the maximum possible punishment before they ever had the opportunity to go to trial.” Bail is a hot topic right now, Donaher says. Civil rights groups and public defenders are increasingly arguing that pre-trial detention for low-level offenses criminalizes the poor and feeds the perception that the poor face a much harsher system of justice than everyone else. And Judge Jonathan Lippman, former chief judge of New York State and an outspoken advocate for bail reform, is heading an independent commission looking at criminal justice and incarceration reform in the state. Though a decision whether to close Rikers Island is the part of the commission’s work that gets the most attention, Donaher says he expects the group to address the pre-trial system, too. Demands for reform are particularly strong in New York City, due to the case of 22-yearold Kalief Browder, who had been accused of stealing a backpack. Browder’s mother couldn’t afford bail, and he refused to accept a plea

bargain, so he spent three years in custody awaiting trial. The charges were eventually dropped, and Brower was released; he killed himself two years later. Why are so many poor people and particularly
poor people of color held in pre-trial detention? Donaher says the answer most likely has to do with bias. He doesn’t believe that any judge in Monroe County is overtly racist or deliberately sets higher bail for people of color, but it may be an issue of implicit bias, he says. “It’s just there,” he says. “It’s a part of human nature, that we might take those factors into account and not know we’re doing it.” A judge may view a poorer person with gaps in his or her work history as a greater flight risk, for example. And Donaher isn’t sure that all judges, or the broader community for that matter, truly understand how poor public defenders’ clients

are and what that means. To qualify for a county public defender, you can’t make more than about $12,000 annually. So a $250 fine may seem reasonable to a judge, but it might as well be $2 million for the client, Donaher says. “It makes me wonder — and I’m speculating; I’ve never talked to a judge about this — do judges understand systemic poverty? And understand that amount can be so high that they have no chance of ever posting it?” he says. City Council member Adam McFadden, who chairs Council’s Public Safety Committee, says that Council struggles with similar issues related to poverty: residents get fined for driving without a license, for example, but they can’t afford to pay. The punishments increase in severity to the point that people lose their licenses but keep driving anyway because their job and their wellbeing depend on it – all stemming from the fact that they couldn’t pay that first fine. Assistant Public Defender Schnader represented a 19-year-old woman who was held in jail over a month because she couldn’t make a $700 bail. It was her first offense and the charge was ultimately dismissed, but the woman, who struggled with addiction, was set back by the jail experience, Schnader says. “Her health suffered tremendously,” he says. “I believe she had some treatment for drug issues lined up out of custody and had lost her spot.” Judge Craig Doran, administrative judge for the 7th Judicial District, says he’s not aware of any evidence showing bias in judges’ rulings in City Court. Every decision he makes regarding bail is based on the merits of the case, he says. Judges have to police themselves to make sure bias isn’t creeping into their decisions, he says. “We’ve actually held trainings with our judges and had conversations with them on the topic of implicit bias,” Doran says. “With humanity comes potential for error.” He’s always open to working with community organizations on concerns people have about the courts, he says. “It’s very important to me, and I believe all the judges, that the public has confidence in what we’re doing,” Doran says. “I think public confidence generally in the judiciary is critical to justice being served.” Some public defenders and civil rights groups argue that cash bail should be
eliminated altogether, particularly for minor charges. In addition to penalizing the poor for being poor, it’s not an effective way to ensure that people return to court, they say. 10 CITY NOVEMBER 23-29, 2016

Washington, DC, has nearly eliminated cash bail, and still 90 percent of defendants show up for court, according to a May 2016 story on Cleveland.com. And releasing people prior to their court appearance also saves money and reduces jail overcrowding. For a wealthy person, the money doesn’t matter, says Vitale, the public defender. And an indigent person isn’t usually putting his or her own money up for bail, so that’s not really an incentive to return, he says. “The idea that this loss of money hanging over someone’s head is going to cause them to return to court, it’s pure nonsense,” Vitale says. “It’s how they justify a system for setting high bail, which really is designed to keep indigent people in jail. That’s really the way I believe it’s being applied.” Vitale uses the high-profile Charlie Tan case as an example. The former Cornell University student was accused of killing his father, though the charge was ultimately dismissed. Tan’s bail was set at $50,000 – a relatively small amount given Tan’s circumstances, Vitale says. “If ever there was a situation where high bail should have been set, it was the Charlie Tan case,” he says. “The individuals who I represent, who have far less access to resources, who have far less ability to leave the community, who have far less ties outside the Rochester area, are having bail
being set at $350,000, $1 million.” “The thing is, most of the people that I represent do not live in Pittsford,” he says. A better way to determine whether and how someone should be released is through pre-trial assessment, says Public Defender Donaher. Monroe County has a program, but not many other court systems in the country do, according to research commissioned by the Laura and John Arnold Foundation. Pre-Trial Services is a nonprofit funded by Monroe County and the state, though its county allotment was just cut by about $100,000. The organization interviews people who have been arrested and jailed to assess flight risk. Arrestees are ranked from low to high risk using such criteria as whether they’re working, how long they’ve lived at their present address, and their criminal history, says Craig McNair, executive director of PreTrial Services. Then the company makes a recommendation about release to the judge. The judges may not always follow the recommendation, though, which helps explain why Monroe County still has people jailed on low bails. Pre-Trial Services interviews about 12,000 arrestees a year, including people who have been arrested in the towns and villages, McNair says. Arrestees there can languish in jail longer than people arrested in the city because those courts convene much less frequently.

Only 6 percent of people who were interviewed by Pre-Trial Services and subsequently released failed to return to court in 2015, McNair says. The return rate for those released was over 90 percent for each level of risk: low, medium, and high. “I think we’ve shown this community over the years that defendants can and will return,” McNair says. Without Pre-Trial Services, Monroe County would undoubtedly face overcrowding in its jails, Donaher says.
Services, and Pre-Trial is interested. But convincing the public and some elected officials that a fund is a good thing may not be easy, Donaher says. “That’s the disconnect,” he says. “It’s a complicated concept for somebody who doesn’t know anything about the system, when they proceed with the assumption that everyone in jail’s a violent criminal. No, they’re not. Chances are they’re very poor.”
At the heart of the issues with pre-trial

A relatively new method to help people avoid pre-trial detention started in the
Bronx and is making inroads into other jurisdictions in the state. The Bronx Defenders started a charitable bail fund in 2013, called the Bronx Freedom Fund. Using referrals from attorneys, the fund helped post bail for 140 people between October 2013 and October 2014, allowing arrestees to avoid pretrial detention. All of the 140 clients were charged with misdemeanors. Ninety-eight percent of those released made all of their required court appearances. Onondaga County has a charitable bail fund run through the Brady Faith Center. The fund helped post bail for over 6,000 people from 1995 to 2009. “We started originally because people had a right to bail but they didn’t have any economics for it,” says Bill Cuddy, one of the founders of the Faith Center’s jail ministry. “Social services gets involved, jobs are lost, apartments are lost. There’s a lot of wreckage in the lives of people who are put in jail and not able to get out. Their whole lives are just put on hold.” More than 90 percent of the people who are helped by the fund show up for court, Cuddy says. The fund pays a share of the person’s bail, but half must be put up by a third party, which is usually the client or the client’s family, friends, or church, he says. The fund returns the money after the case is resolved, Cuddy says. The fund’s $50,000 annual budget is funded by Onondaga County and private donations. More communities are considering charitable bail funds because they’d otherwise face projects in the millions of dollars to build or expand jails, Donaher says. He says he has discussed the possibility of creating a bail fund in Monroe County with Pre-Trial
detention is a fundamental shift in how bail is applied, says Vitale, the public defender, who has studied the history of bail. Under the 1964 Bail Reform Act, the presumption was that people should be released without bail, he says. The only exception was for genuine flight risks, he says. That changed with the passing of a second bail reform act in 1984. Violent crime was not going up, but people seemed to see boogeymen everywhere, Vitale says. Gangs of youth were reported to be “wilding” throughout New York City — the most famous example being the massive miscarriage of justice known as the Central Park Five case — though that’s now considered an example of a cultural panic. And there was the very real surge in the use of crack cocaine in major US cities. The Bail Reform Act of 1984 allowed judges, for the first time, to consider the danger that defendants may pose to an individual or the community when setting bail. One of the effects of the Reagan-era law was to fill jails with pretrial detainees. “For the first time during peace, preventive detention — embodying the long-discredited notion that past behavior accurately predicts future conduct — became the law of the land,” a 2004 story in Slate says. But the act is only binding in federal courts, not state courts. And while most states followed the federal courts’ lead and do allow judges to consider dangerousness when setting bail, New York does not. But Vitale is convinced that many New York judges do it, anyway. “There’s been lots of advocacy in recent years not just on getting judges to see this, but lawyers, too, so they can advocate that the process is followed the correct way — the way it was originally intended,” Vitale says. “I think at some point in time, we have to take far more aggressive measures.”

Lives interrupted, broken The stories that public defenders tell about the negative effects of pre-trial detention are the stuff of nightmares. People lose jobs, relationships, custody of their children, social service benefits, placement in rehab facilities, and apartments because they can’t afford a $250 bail. And elderly or sick family members may lose their caretaker for as long as the person is in jail. One of Assistant Public Defender Jonathan Schnader’s clients was charged with harassment for allegedly hitting his landlord. The man got out, but was later accused of violating his order of protection by showing up at the landlord’s place of business, so he went back to jail. This time, he ended up spending 60 days in custody. “This guy wanted to start school and he wanted to become a Marine, and he had to sit in jail for something that was ultimately dismissed entirely,” Schnader says. The man missed his enlistment date, and Schnader isn’t sure if his former client ever did make it into the Marines. Another client had severe mentalhealth issues but had been out of trouble for a decade or more, Schnader says. She was accused of slapping her landlord and then of violating her restraining order. The judge ordered a competency hearing, but the woman would’ve had to wait as long as eight weeks, staying in jail the whole time, Schnader says. Her friends posted bond and she was released after two weeks, but in that time she lost her apartment and all of her belongings. She was homeless. “She had to start anew,” Schnader says. “This is somebody who hadn’t been in trouble for 10 years and generally kept to herself.”

Dining Right to the edge West Edge Restaurant and Lounge 284 EXCHANGE BOULEVARD MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY, 11:30 A.M. TO 9 P.M.; FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, 11 A.M. TO MIDNIGHT; SUNDAY, 10 A.M. TO 3:30 P.M. 319-3388; WESTEDGERESTAURANT.COM [ REVIEW ] BY CHRIS LINDSTROM
Corn Hill Landing has plenty to offer along the Genesee, including several great views and waterside seating for its restaurants, but the area has continuously been in flux. The Corn Hill neighborhood has changed a lot as well due to gentrification, but that’s a story for another time. Since the stalwart Tony D’s closed in September, West Edge Restaurant and Lounge has become something of a face for the plaza’s restaurants. I liked the interior when the space housed Tap and Table and the Rochester Taproom, and not much has really changed. The main dining area still features an extended bar with a wide ranging tap list, and the space plays as a cross between a sports bar and a lounge. Unfortunately, though, the food I had over my two visits didn’t live up to expectations. It wasn’t one specific issue that left me frustrated, but a few fundamental flaws and a consistent lack of simple execution couldn’t be overlooked. Starting out with our small dishes: while they were seared and seasoned well, the four small crab cakes ($14) lacked balance between the meat and filler, which just left them dense without any payoff. The meat on our plate of fried calamari ($11) was tender, but the breading had almost no color to it. And the pieces were fried at too low a temperature, which caused them to absorb the fryer oil, overwhelming the squid. The truffle mac and cheese ($9 for a side, or $24 as a main) suffered from the sauce becoming separated — typically it should be a smooth combination of cheese, milk, and a flour roux, but in this case there was some cheese stuck to the noodles and oil left in the ramekin. On a positive note, there was a good amount of finely shaved truffle throughout the dish which gave it a nice, intense aroma. Too much oil was also an issue in the pearl barley risotto ($19). The mushroom risotto base was rich and full of parmesan, but was too thick, and an unappealing pool of oil had accumulated at the bottom of the dish, forcing us to eat around it.

The menu’s steak entree ($25) lists a flank, but I was subbed a NY strip, which is normally a fine switch. It fell victim, though, to a few basic steak cooking flaws. It came out close to the requested medium rare, but the steak wasn’t rested before plating, causing red juices to flow even before cutting into the meat. Worse was a complete lack of salt on the steak. I’ll rarely complain about a well-made corned beef sandwich, and the version at West Edge ($12) was the best item I tried. It was a classic combo of Swiss cheese, grain mustard, and pickled cabbage which balanced nicely. If West Edge wants to stake its claim as a long-term resident of Corn Hill Landing, the team should go back to basics and focus on day-to-day execution of the menu — making sure sauces are made properly, dishes are seasoned well, and things come out appropriately cooked. There is potential with the menu itself but without some re-examination, it’s hard to see the food getting much better.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26 HARMONY HOUSE, 58 EAST MAIN STREET, WEBSTER 6 P.M. | $15 | TICKETFLY.COM; BATTLECROSSMETAL.COM [ METAL ] Detroit’s more recent musical exports have
largely carried a dark and nihilistic aura. Hip-hop’s resident goth kid, Danny Brown, has spent the better part of a decade begging to fall into a “kush coma.” And the glassyeyed Protomartyr have won no shortage of fans with its monotone doomsaying. In a regional scene dominated by such bleak offerings, Battlecross’ triumphant thrash metal anthems are in a class of their own. The band’s most recent LP, 2015’s “Rise to Power,” is flush with images of battlescared warriors rising above seemingly insurmountable adversity. Songs carry titles like “The Climb,” “Not Your Slave,” and “The Path,” and just about every single one of them features at least one ripping major key guitar solo. It’s empowering, uplifting music, and it’s more than welcome in these increasingly dark and confusing times. — BY ALEXANDER JONES

Now I’ll be honest: I’m not too much for endorsing cover bands, but Revolver has Don Mancuso (Black Sheep, D-Drive) on guitar, and I love watching him grin as he shreds.

Every genre of music has those few, beloved records that are considered must-listens for newcomers. For hardcore punk, Burn’s self-titled 1990 EP is unquestionably one of those records. Expertly blending socio-political and environmental commentary with Agnostic Front inspired riffs, the record completely flipped the still-youthful genre on its head. Tracks like the barn-burning “...Shall Be Judged” and “Godhead” are now considered unshakable New York Hardcore staples, and with good reason. It’s a phenomenal record from an undeniable band, and Rochesterians are about to have the rare opportunity of seeing them live. Borrowed Time, The Weight We Carry, Reps, 1000 Drops of Venom, and Longest War will also perform. — BY ALEXANDER JONES

Watching Mckinley James play guitar is like watching a time-lapse film loop; every goddamn time I see him, I swear he gets better and better. Although a mere 15 years old, James digs deep into rock ‘n’ roll’s blackness and blueness. He plays downright nasty and mean. This kid is the second coming of Nick Curran. Watch, you’ll see.

Americana quartet Driftwood is a long-time regional favorite among folk music lovers. And with the release of its fourth studio recording, “City Lights,” the Binghamton-based band delivers a full-fledged pop record chock-full of radiofriendly melodic hooks and head-bobbing rhythms. Guitarist Dan Forsyth, violinist Claire Byrne, Joe Kollar on the banjo, and upright bassist Joey Arcuri delight with sonic stunner after stunner. For fans of the Americana and folk genres, the sound will be familiar: the title track plays like The Lumineers, the phenomenal “Gasoline” is the song Ryan Adams never wrote; and “Lemonade” and “Maria Constantina” come off as authentic Driftwood, but the songs would be right at home in a Dave Rawlings Machine set list. That said, the songs in which Byrne takes front-and-center are the true standouts in an already stellar collection. Her soulful voice — charming and warm with a tinge of rustic raspiness — is nothing short of electrifying, even when heard secondhand on a recording (wait for that vocal slide on “Talkin’”). — BY DANIEL J.

“Universal Vagrant” Mean Disposition Records gregstackhouseprevost.com
If you take into consideration the raw trajectory set forth by his first solo record, “Mississippi Murderer,” then Greg “Stackhouse” Prevost’s new record, “Universal Vagrant,” sounds more like his third rather than his second. The precision is more direct on this album, but it ain’t overly slick and doesn’t forgo Prevost’s trademark Ubangi abandon. This is still a blues-based outing. “Universal Vagrant” is, first of all, a guitar record where he keeps it dirty, sa-loppy, and sa-leazy. Prevost sounds at home while howling like Lon Chaney Jr. with a voice that is one of the best and most distinct in rock ‘n’ roll. “Universal Vagrant” is all a bit of a departure from the lo-fi danger found on “Mississippi Murderer.” Not better, just different and more put together. The production is aces as well with Alex Patrick twiddling the knobs. It’s an all-around fantastic record.

Pulverize the pieces Prime Time Funk SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26 LOVIN’ CUP, 300 PARK POINT DRIVE 8 P.M. | $10 | LOVINCUP.COM; PRIMETIMEFUNK.COM [ INTERVIEW BY FRANK DE BLASE ]
This spring will mark 21 years since Prime Time Funk burst forth from Rochester to scintillate the scene with a big blast of brass. Although the band is steeped in R&B and soul, when PTF is playing, funk is king. It’s a big band — 10 cats in total, half of which are horns — but not a Big Band. It ain’t a bar band either. The band doesn’t just pick up the pieces, it pulverizes them, making Tower of Power look like a curb. Formed in 1996 by veteran musicians James Richmond and the late Ralph Ortiz, Prime Time Funk quickly dominated the scene as a party-gone-out-of-bounds band. The group has since released two albums — “Ready and Willing” and “Hear and Now” — played Lionel Hampton’s Jazz Club in Paris; performed several memorable, earth-quakin’ sets at the Rochester International Jazz Festival; and is now the house band for the Rochester Music Hall of Fame awards ceremony each year. Three members — drummer David Cohen, guitarist Joe Chiappone, and baritone saxophonist Mike Edwards — popped into the CITY offices to answer a few questions. An edited transcript follows. CITY: What did you guys set out to do when forming Prime Time Funk? David Cohen: Jimmy [Richmond] just wanted
to get the best musicians he could find that five 16 CITY NOVEMBER 23-29, 2016
years down the road could look at each other and still be friends. How has that worked so far? Cohen: We’ve had about 20 musicians come
through the band. Mike Edwards: We have a core group of guys. I’m the newest and I’ve been here eight years. What elements are in your sound, and at what percentage? Cohen: That’s a hard question; we play so many
styles. There’s funk, there’s soul, there’s R&B, and definitely some jazz in there. It really runs the gamut and it’s hard to define. You’ll hear elements of Caribbean music and elements of reggae and rock music. So it’s all in there, mixed up together. And obviously the word funk is in the name of the band; that’s where we derive a lot of our influence from. Edwards: We kind of modeled the band after Tower of Power as far as instrumentation goes. But it doesn’t limit us to just that. With that sort of heady mix, you certainly don’t consider yourselves traditionalist, right? Cohen: No I don’t think so. Edwards: No, not at all. Is 10 members optimum? Joe Chiappone: When it comes to splitting up
the money, it isn’t.
Over your 21-year history, how has the band evolved or changed? Chiappone: We have more originals now. Cohen: Once we began in earnest doing original
material, we realized it wasn’t necessarily the wisest thing when playing clubs. Edwards: We had to be Jacks of all trades. I love

FRI., NOVEMBER 25 being able to do a little bit of this, a little bit of that. We can handle anything they throw at us and we relish the challenge. Chiappone: We want the parameters of what we’re doing to be open so we can approach anything anyway we want to do it and still sound like us. Your show is so tight but still comes off spontaneous. Do you use a set list or do you wing it according to the audience’s response? Cohen: We’ll start with a set list, but then there’s
always a chance an audible will be called at the line of scrimmage. As a band, what do you work at? Edwards: I think our improvisation. We’re
all strong enough to where we can jam on something. And we also know how to listen to one another to hear where we are as a band. I think that keeps us tight. Chiappone: The hardest thing is having a visual show. It’s the playing part that comes natural. Sometimes people want to see a lot of movement and we don’t have a lot of room. Cohen: We’re not up there doing backflips. That’s not our thing. The music really comes first. It really translates to the audience when they see how much fun we’re having. What’s a memorable Prime Time Funk show? Cohen: The Jazz Festival. That was a lot of fun. Edwards: You know it’s a good crowd when you
feel like you’re going deaf listening to them cheer. What is something Prime Time Funk will never do? Edwards: Wear chicken suits. Chiappone: Or play “Freebird.”

A mixed miracle “Miracle on 34th Street: The Musical”

If Friday’s 70 degree weather didn’t exactly get me in the holiday mood, catching Rochester Association of Performing Arts’ pleasant production of “Miracle on 34th Street” during the first significant snowfall of the season did the trick. With an energetic ensemble cast and a quartet of strong leading actors, audiences looking for worthwhile holiday entertainment will find it here. Twice a major motion picture and featured on television in various iterations, the plot of “Miracle on 34th Street” is thoroughly woven into the fabric of our culture. Doris Walker — a high-ranking manager at Macy’s in New York City and single mom to the independent and precocious Susan — has taught her daughter that Santa Claus is merely a myth and does not exist. This rational, although perhaps premature, lesson is turned on its 20 CITY NOVEMBER 23 - 29, 2016
head, however, when Doris hires a new Santa for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. The man is convinced he is the real Kris Kringle. Susan subsequently meets Fred Gaily, a former Marine and aspiring lawyer who hopes to inspire in the child a belief in Santa Claus. Of course, the viability of this musical adaptation depends entirely on its cast. Fortunately, RAPA’s production (now in its second year as an annual holiday tradition) succeeds. Paige Kiefner is well-suited to the role of the confident yet cynical Doris. And although the character is rather twodimensional, Kiefner makes the most of the material. Her voice has an ideal modern Broadway tone, and it’s effortless without being coated in extraneous vibrato. Lance Hoffman is an appropriately debonair and good-hearted Fred Gaily, although he too is handcuffed by poor writing (although for largely different reasons — more on that later). Hoffman also has an excellent rapport with Danica Simpson, who was perfectly cast as Susan. Billy DeMetsenaere is every bit the warm and magically charismatic Kris Kringle that fans of the movies have come to expect. And the musical boasts the excellent comedic performance of Kyle Critelli as Doris’s assistant, Marvin Shellhammer. While the show’s performances are great, it’s not without reservations. Most of them, however, are no fault of the performers.
The major caveats pertain to the musical as it was written by Meredith Wilson — the artist behind that singular sensation “The Music Man” — who penned the music, lyrics, and the book. The music of “Miracle on 34th Street” is unfortunately forgettable. If I were pressed, I couldn’t recall the melodies from what were arguably the musical’s bigger songs, like “Here’s Love” and “That Man Over There,” which are delightful and endearing ensemble numbers in the moment but don’t leave an impact. The inherent sexism in Wilson’s script and song lyrics — which were penned in the early 60’s — really can’t be ignored either. When tensions arise during Doris and Fred’s first meeting, a song entitled “Listen, Little Girl” and its preceding dialogue are nothing more than tired, old-fashioned mansplaining. When faced with a particularly mean and malicious psychologist employed by Macy’s to give “personality tests,” even Kringle loses his cool: “There’s only one way to deal with a woman like you,” he says while rapping his cane menacingly against the nearby desk.” Vague threats of violence — not cool. “Miracle on 34th Street: The Musical” is an enjoyable production you may well wish to experience with your family. But if you do, a heart-to-heart talk about flaws in Meredith Wilson’s dated, onceacceptable script is recommended.

EXHIBIT | “INTERNMENT: THE JAPANESE-AMERICAN EXPERIENCE” Earlier this month, America’s xenophobic rhetoric won the White House, leaving many people justifiably freaked out about how far our president-elect will be able to take his plans for targeted groups. For months, people have been drawing parallels between our current socio-political mess and the European climate that led up to the Second World War. But while people name-drop the Nazis, we’ve been shirking discussion about what America did to Japanese-Americans during that time period. This topic is explored in “Internment: The Japanese-American Experience,” an exhibit of photographs by Margaret Miyake on view at the University of Rochester’s Hartnett Gallery (Wilson Commons) through December 11. Miyake’s photographs form a portrait of the isolated sites where the internment camps were located. The show is presented as part of “Looking like the Enemy: The WWII Japanese-American Experience,” a Humanities Project organized by Joanne Bernardi, associate professor of Japanese, which aims to examine the experiences of interned Japanese-Americans and their relevance to current debates about terrorism, the refugee crisis, and illegal immigration. Miyake’s work is supplemented with postcards and other ephemera from Bernardi’s “Re-Envisioning Japan Collection.” Hartnett Gallery’s hours are Tuesday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.; and Saturday through Sunday, 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.

“Monroe and Vicinity Biennial: The Print Club of Rochester Anniversary Exhibition” THROUGH DECEMBER 9 TOWER FINE ARTS GALLERY, 180 HOLLEY STREET, BROCKPORT MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, 10 A.M. TO 5 P.M.; SUNDAY, 1 P.M. TO 4 P.M. FREE | 395-5253; BROCKPORT.EDU/ACADEMICS/FINE_ARTS [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
Our region has an impressive set of printmakers who consistently breathe new life into the medium, whether they employ traditional techniques or flout convention. Under the direction of its energetic president, Adam Werth, The Print Club of Rochester is celebrating its 86th anniversary with an exhibition currently on display at SUNY Brockport’s Tower Fine Arts Gallery. “The annual members show continues to grow into a larger, more communitybased exhibition,” Werth says. “In years past it was presented in more intimate and
private venues as a show by members of the print club for members of the print club.” By presenting the show at SUNY Brockport, the club gains visibility with a larger community, and the work and artists are accessible to students enrolled in visual art programs both at the University as well as nearby Brockport High School, he says. In addition to leading the club, Werth is an avid collector of prints and a printmaker himself. His giant monoprint, “The Feeling I Get,” provides instant impact. Positioned facing the entrance of the space, the simple print is of huge, stark, call-caps letters that read: “BIG DISAPPOINTMENT.” Printed using cheap materials, and offering it for $1, Werth is basing the value of the work entirely on its message. He says he means for the work to be ambiguous, requiring the audience to make judgements regarding its intention, but that it is both a reflection of the arenas where he has been let down, “politically, in the art world, in humanity...” as well as the fear of letting others down. “I am interested in self-reflection and action as a means to selfactualization,” he says. This print is a continuation of Werth’s
series that also includes the work “I AM BETTER THAN THIS,” which was featured in Rochester Contemporary’s “Under Pressure” exhibit earlier this year. That one is just as stark; its title text is printed on a small piece of crumpled and uncrumpled paper, forming the very picture of “(un)certainty.” The subject matter in Wendy J. Forrest’s woodcut prints have the artist living up to her name. The sylvan scenes are alternately cheerful and stark — “Summer Birches” is a bright flash of energetic ink, while “Snowy Pine” is a stripped down, bleak yet beautiful winter vista. Nicholas H. Ruth’s radiant screenprint and colored pencil work, “Alone at Last,” features two communications towers that feel vaguely figurative, and immediately conveys a sense of technology both extending and hampering connection. Beyond the subjects, cloudlike forms in an empty landscape seem to crackle with static energy, and acidic colors edge into a trippy, surreal territory. Take a spin around Ruth’s website and you’ll see more work in this vein, as well as his concise artist statement. “In my work,
I spontaneously explore the anxious and funny ways in which we litter our lives with the artifacts of our desires,” he writes. “Our buildings are covered with satellite dishes, extending our reach at the same time that we withdraw to the interior.” Tarrant Clements’ untitled, bold carborundum collagraphs combine geometric patterns presented in pleasant asymmetry with flat, vibrating hues. Depth is derived from wispy texture applied to some planes. Bob Conge, maker of rad collectible art toys under the name Plaseebo, has two large, digital drypoint prints in the biennial. The technique is one he developed to create images that have similar line qualities as engravings, without the use of metal plates and acids. From an ongoing series, Conge’s “Poolside with E. E. Cummings” and “Poolside with Picasso” each depicts nude figures in roughly rendered lines, and allusions to the artistic style of each print’s respective subject. Conge says that the prints are not intended to be pretty pictures; he wants them to “evoke the raspy and raw emotion of an encounter with the force” of what he perceives would have been the individual’s persona. “I am exploring portrait-like images of painters, poets, writers, etc. whose work I am moved by and wish I could have known personally,” Conge says. “The common visual and conceptual thread in the series is the “stage” of an outdoor pool where people present themselves with few of the defensive daily trappings that often disguise who they are. The pool is like a “No Mans Land” in a war, where we are all unclothed in neutral territory.” The exhibit’s juror, Cynthia Hawkins, director and curator of SUNY Geneseo’s Lederer Gallery, selected Elizabeth Durand’s dreamy intaglio monoprint “Walking Mavis at Night” for the Best in Show award. Durand combined layered images of terrain, a topographical map, and the silhouette of a frolicking dog with subdued and slightly electric pigment. “Durand fragmented the page as a triptych to portray the narrative and also turned what might have become a mere night scene into a temporally displaced spatial scene making it slightly surreal,” Hawkins writes.

Not a textbook example “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”
Directed by David Yates from a script written by Rowling herself, “Fantastic Beasts” takes its title from one of Harry’s required textbooks in (PG-13), DIRECTED BY DAVID YATES “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” and NOW PLAYING focuses on Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne), the fictitious author of that tome. Scamander travels from London to New York carrying [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW with him a suitcase filled with a menagerie of endangered magical creatures, and when some Five years after the Harry Potter franchise of the animals manage to escape, the incident came to a close, author J.K. Rowling expands threatens the veil of secrecy that allows the her wizarding cinematic universe with the wizards and witches of America to operate prequel spinoff “Fantastic Beasts and Where undetected by normal humans. to Find Them.” Setting up a promised five Scamander is aided in his mission to movie franchise being released over the next recapture the animals by Tina (Katherine decade, the film is set in 1926 New York City, Waterston), a disgraced magical investigator and revolves around an entirely new cast of characters. But some of the magic seems to have hoping to restore her reputation; Jacob (Dan Fogler), a “no-maj” (non-magic folk, better diminished as “Fantastic Beasts” is hindered by its focus on world-building and setting up those known as “muggles” to Potter fans); and Tina’s mind-reading sister, Queenie (Alison Sudol, who future films at the expense of telling a story is delightfully bubbly). Although wizarding law that’s satisfying in its own right. forbids relations between wizards and humans, Queenie and Jacob develop a romance, and thanks to the wonderful performances of Fogler and Sudol, their sweet relationship becomes one of the film’s highlights.

wizarding world is descending further into chaos as a Voldemort-esque zealot named Gellert Grindelwald wages a campaign of terror that’s causing headaches for President Seraphina Picquery (Carmen Ejogo) and her security forces, headed up by Percival Graves (Colin Farrell). Creating even more tension between the magical and non-magical worlds is Mary Lou Barebone (Samantha Morton), a puritanical “Second Salem” fundamentalist who is preaching the dangers of witchcraft while indoctrinating and abusing her adopted children. Morton does what she can with the role, but Rowling’s script could have developed her more as a character beyond pure villainy. Graves recruits Mary Lou’s misfit son, Credence (a haunting Ezra Miller), in his hunt for an Obscurial, a young wizard whose forced suppression of their magical identity creates a dark force, which officials believe is responsible for a series of attacks that have terrorized the city. There’s also a briefly sketched plotline about a newspaper man (Jon Voight) and his senator son, which clearly will have ramifications in later films. But here it feels like a distraction from the main event. It is characteristic of the film’s inelegantly constructed plot; all the pieces are there, but they’re shoved together in ways that don’t always seem natural. One can sense the strain of Rowling shoehorning these various strands into a single film, and none get the space they need to really breathe. At times it feels as though Rowling hamstrung herself by deciding to use the “Fantastic Beasts” text as inspiration for the new series; all the time spent with its characters chasing after and containing the creatures —

Pokemon Go-style — feels like a distraction from the darker, more interesting narrative threads. As Newt, Eddie Redmayne defaults to his usual whispery, fidgety schtick. It’s typecasting, but it mostly works since by the character’s own admission, most people find him annoying. (Although there’s not much to him beyond “better with animals than people.”) Tina is also a bit of a blank slate, and together the pair seem a bit nondescript to hang an entire franchise around. I’m not the first to point out that for a series with a thematic focus on the plight of marginalized people, the lack of diversity amongst its lead characters has become a serious problem. The fact that all of the main characters are straight, white, and cisgender is sending a message whether one is intended or not. With the power and influence Rowling has, she has the ability (and I’d argue the obligation) to be as outspoken in her art as she is in life. Though much of “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” feels rushed and thinlysketched, there’s a good chance Rowling’s talent for longform storytelling will right many of these issues as the series develops and characters and themes get expanded on. Considering that plans for future films will take the series to locations around Europe during the period leading up to and through World War II, there will no doubt be plenty of real-world thematic relevance to propel the series as it moves forward. Unfortunately, that leaves this first film feeling like an appetizer meant to tide us over until the more substantial main course arrives.

Cozy Craftsman Charm
34 Winchester Street Kodak Park was and is one of the most significant industrial hubs of our region. The expansion of Kodak’s operations during the 1910s through 1930s fueled residential development adjacent to the park including the Maplewood and Koda-Vista neighborhoods. The modest homes lining Winchester and Merrill Streets are tucked between the northern border of Kodak Park and expansive grounds of Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, and are within walking distance of many of the current and former factory buildings of the park. The distinctive grouping of Craftsman style bungalows built by George Hartman around 1916 at the eastern end of Winchester Street stand apart, this home chief among them. The textbook bungalow exterior impresses with a full width, period enclosed, front porch beneath a broad second story dormer, deep roof eaves with shaped rafter tails and brackets, and wood siding atop a rusticated concrete block foundation. Traversing the broad side entry stoop to the front porch, the wood and glass paneled front door beckons your entry. The foyer beyond sets the stage with oak floors and oversized Craftsman style moldings unmarred by paint. The woodwork, including a colonnade framing the staircase to the second floor, continues throughout the house. Passing through a set of pocket doors, the living room is filled with light from the many original wood windows and is anchored by a broad brick wood-burning fireplace with a unique over-mantel niche and
Prairie style built-in bookcases to either side. A large archway to the rear frames the dining room with its broad window bay and built-in seat. The kitchen has been recently outfitted with oak cabinetry and new counter-tops, and has access to the basement and side entry door. The second floor contains three bedrooms arranged around a central hall with a builtin linen closet, and a recently remodeled shared bathroom. Each bedroom beyond the handsome five panel oak doors features more stained woodwork, has ample closet space, and is lit by the various original windows from the whimsical diamond shaped sash in the gables to the broad dormer over the front porch. The detached one-andone-half bay garage at the back of the deep backyard has room for a workshop as well as a vehicle. This 1,344 square foot cozy abode exudes charm and typifies the best qualities of Craftsman era design. With its recently painted exterior, brand new kitchen, renovated bathroom, and included appliances, all that is left to do is move in.

FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.
[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 29 ] [ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your upbeat attitude and lifestyle will capture interest. Although you will have plenty of suitors, many will qualify only friends. Mental stimulation may be a trigger to spend time with someone, but without a passionate attraction, it won’t manifest into anything you’d consider a forever connection. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Greater involvement in organizational events and activities will bring you in contact with people who interest you mentally, physically and emotionally. Don’t hesitate to make the first move or to offer a unique way to share your interest outside the confines of the organization or function you meet each other.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll be able to talk your way into anyone’s heart, but staying there or having your interest held if the person you are attracted to isn’t as intelligent, versatile or playful as you will be a problem. Don’t choose your partner on looks alone, or you will tire quickly. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Romance is highlighted, but relationships are not. You’ll meet people who interest you, but uncertainty and last-minute changes or canceling of dates will put you off. Don’t feel rejected when you should be glad you didn’t waste time or money on someone superficial. Hold out for the right partner.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your energy and playful attitude will draw plenty of people to your side. Don’t slow down or stop doing what you do best. The person who can pace you every step of the way will be the one you should consider fitting into your schedule and standing side by side. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Make sure you are free and clear of one relationship before beginning another. Being caught between two lovers or becoming a third party to a couple who are still in touch will lead to a brief physical encounter -- nothing more. An honest assessment of your personal situation will be necessary.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may not feel great, but your ego will be stroked if you go out and have fun with friends. Someone will offer compliments that not only lift your spirits, but also make you consider the possibility of being in a relationship with someone who recognizes your finer qualities. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Someone who does things differently will attract you. The more diverse and unusual the people you meet, the better the chances are that you’ll find someone who measures up to your relationship criteria. Hang out in unusual settings or places that draw you, and that special someone is likely to appear.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll shine when conversing with groups of people or organizing events or coming up with solutions, but when it comes to emotional matters and affairs of the heart, you’ll find it difficult to divulge personal information, and you are likely to attract partners who lack honesty and integrity. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll send off vibes that will attract some people and repel others. Try not to come on too strong or to buy your way into someone’s heart. Stick to basics when it comes to finding love, and you’ll meet partners who match you every step of the way.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll be attracted to someone who is already involved. Remove yourself from this scenario, and you will realize you have other choices that are better for you and that have the potential to go the distance. Slow down and engage in conversations and pastimes with someone you find mentally stimulating. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Take your pick. You’ll have plenty of opportunities, but not all will be equal. You’ll meet the talkers, the movers and shakers and the control freaks all offering the world and promising nothing. You’ll also meet someone trying to save the world who is attentive and a do-gooder. Wise choice equals happiness.
