Memo to Bill Reilich
Get up from your desk. Put away the microphone. Take the short drive over to Irondequoit and see for yourself: I-Square is up and running, doing OK, making friends, and doing what the Nolans said it would do. They did everything right with I-Square that Scott Congel did wrong with Medley Centre: original proposal, negotiation, public input encouraged at every step, clarity, execution, and an on-time opening. Incidentally, who finally slammed a lid on the Congel caper? Adam Bello, with his constituents’ blessings and to their relief. And where was the wrath of Reilich during all that mess? Strangely silent. Hmmm, maybe Congel’s a Republican? So, Bill, go have a look. Then go back to Greece, and stay there. Quietly, please. BRUCE AND KATHY BEARDSLEY
Monarchs have another enemy
I read Jeremy Moule’s “Zoo, state partner on butterfly conversation” (News, March 16) with interest. It noted that “scientists blame habitat loss and pesticide use” for the drastic decline in the monarch population. There is another factor: black swallow-wort, milkweed’s evil cousin. Rochester has a bad infestation. The weed got its name because the seed pods develop in the shape of a shallow “V,” which resembles a swallow’s tail. It’s not just an obnoxious, invasive weed, but it’s also poisonous to monarch caterpillars. Swallow-wort is used as a host plant by monarch butterflies, some lay their eggs on it, but the caterpillars invariably die after hatching as the swallowwort is toxic to them. 2 CITY
APRIL 6-12, 2016
Black swallow-wort is extremely hardy and prolific. It grows in poor soil, in the ground underneath evergreens, below hedges, and anyplace it can take root. One way to fight the weeds is by destroying the rhizomes with herbicides, but the chemicals can harm good insects and other life forms, so the more ecological alternative is to rip the plants out. This at least prevents them from reproducing. But the rhizomes swiftly send out replacement shoots, so the process has to be repeated. Black swallow-wort seeds have silken parachutes. But unlike the tall, stately milkweed with its long, distinctively paddle-shaped leaves, black swallow-wort grows as a sort of vine, topped with a tendril. Its height can reach 6 feet. Swallow-wort and milkweed both produce tiny whitish-pink star-shaped flowers, but while milkweed flowers are clustered into a pompom the size of a golf ball or larger, swallow-wort flower clusters are wimpy looking. Milkweed pods look a bit like elongated lemons. Swallow-wort pods are narrow and thin, like pointed string beans. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll be able to identify young swallow-wort seedlings a few inches high, or even less. Highland Park has a stupendous infestation. Along South Goodman from Gregory Hill Road to Pinetum Drive, there are a few genuine milkweeds holding steady amid the infestation. Other swallow-wort infestations I’ve seen are along the slopes of the pond/skating rink adjacent to School 12 on South Avenue, the woods on the corner of Highland Parkway and South Clinton, the stretch of hilly ground between 1285 South Clinton and Highland Avenue across from Far View Hills Road, Persimmon Park, the patch of woods on Lac De Ville Boulevard, Elmwood bordering McQuaid High’s playing field, and the stretch of woods along Elmwood across from Eastland Avenue and Brighton Memorial Library. The Cornell Cooperative Extension publishes an informative leaflet, “Garden Villains: invasive plant and tree species/Monroe County area,”
which features color photos of 12 especially egregious weeds, shrubs, and trees, including a good photo of black swallow-wort and its seed pods on the cover. LINDA LEVITAN
Rude patrons spoiled Geva show
At the opening night of Geva’s production of Eugene O’Neill’s “A Moon for the Misbegotten” as the lights go down in the theater before act one, the women behind me talk loudly. Lights on the stage come on, they’re still talking. I turn and glare at them. A little while later, a cell phone goes off. At the beginning of act two, more people are talking and the actors have to speak over them. Then in a critical moment of the play: James Tyrone is attempting to convince Josie that what he wants from her is chaste motherly love and to confess to her how he wound up such a self-hating drunk, right then a man at center stage about 12 rows back grabs his partner’s arm and says in a loud, deep voice, “I’ve never seen such stupid bullshit!” It’s the most sensitive part of the play. OK, maybe you don’t care for an O’Neill play. Maybe you didn’t even want to come, but your partner insisted. Maybe you were hoping for — who knows? — an Agatha Christie mystery. But keep your mouth shut. If you have to leave, leave as unobtrusively as possible, say during the intermission, not in the middle of the final act. The spell had been broken. I knew I was not in the play’s setting; I was in Rochester. Rochester owes that wonderful cast an apology. JOHN CURRIE
Rochester can’t copy suburbs
Why do people keep on thinking that a city like Rochester should compete with the suburbs on the suburbs’ own terms when it comes to convenient, flexible parking, etc.? The city will invariably fail at this sort of competition. In trying to compete like this, the city pretty much destroyed itself. It’s time to move away from this sort of thinking. BRIAN MILBURN

ENDORSEMENT | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
The Democratic choice: with regret, Clinton In this strangest of presidential campaigns, New York Republicans and Democrats get to help pick their party’s candidate in the April 19 primaries. Republicans have unpalatable options: two candidates with terrifying views and a third who sounds reasonable only by comparison. For Democrats, the choice is the opposite: between two rational, experienced, progressive candidates, either of whom – under the right circumstances – could be a strong president, helping the country meet its enormous domestic and international challenges. None of the Republicans deserves our endorsement. But the Democratic Primary decision is a difficult one. Our staff here is divided, so as editor, I’m writing the endorsement this week, and we’ll have a dissent from some of our other writers next week. If I based my decision solely on positions, the endorsement would be for Bernie Sanders. He has laid out strong, commendable positions, not only on health care and public-college affordability but also on climate change, the Middle East, defense spending, national security, infrastructure investment, and much more. And it is significant that he is inspiring more young voters than Clinton is. Hillary Clinton’s negatives – her stands on the Iraq war, crime and welfare reform, trade agreements; her endorsement of the death penalty for (“particularly heinous”) federal crimes; her more militaristic instincts; her ties to the financial industry – are enormous concerns. Also a concern: the arrogance and sense of entitlement – Clinton’s and the Democratic Party leadership’s. Clinton’s tone-deaf response to questions about her Wall Street speeches are the kind of insider, elitist behavior that the general public is rebelling against. Neither Clinton nor Sanders would be able to work miracles as president, but given her record and her ties to big-business interests, there’s a risk that Clinton will compromise when she doesn’t need to and shouldn’t. Given all that, why endorse her? First, she has important strengths, including her broad government service. Particularly important is her foreign policy knowledge and experience, which the country badly needs in this complicated, dangerous time. Clinton’s depth – including her experience dealing with some of the most difficult decisions a presidential administration faces – dwarfs that of every other candidate, including Sanders. Nor are all of Clinton’s positions weak. She says she will push for campaign finance reform, gun control, criminal justice reform, and an increase in the minimum wage.

Democrats must nominate the person with the best chance to win and who will best be able to get things done. She has a long, solid record advocating for women, children, and the poor. Her strong, deep support among African Americans – including among some long-time civil rights leaders – is an indication of her commitment to racial minorities. And Sanders isn’t perfect. Taking progressive positions is one thing. Being able to get members of Congress to support you is quite another, and there, Sanders’ record is thin. In addition, many liberal economists have concluded that his numbers – on how he would finance single-payer health care, free public colleges, and infrastructure investment, for instance – don’t add up. The biggest concern, though, is this: Democrats need to nominate the person who has the best chance to win the general election, and who will best be able to get things done as president. Bernie Sanders is doing well in national polls at this point. And he has strong favorable ratings. Clinton, on the other hand, has strong unfavorable ones. But national polls aren’t terribly reliable right now; the national campaign hasn’t started. And if Sanders is the nominee, the Republicans will unleash a firestorm of attacks, painting him as a tax-loving extremist, a socialist, a communist in disguise. continues on page 8

The Clover Lanes bowling alley in Brighton closed last week and word is it’s headed to the City of Rochester, near ARTISANworks. FILE PHOTO
NEIGHBORHOODS | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN
Clover Lanes could be headed to North Winton Village A longtime Brighton bowling alley may be moving to the City of Rochester. Clover Lanes, a 50-lane alley on Monroe Avenue, will be demolished to make room for a high-end retail development anchored by a Whole Foods store. The alley closed for good last Thursday. Clover is moving to the area of Blossom-Carlson roads in the city’s North Winton Village neighborhood, not far from ARTISANworks, according to a woman who answered the phone at Clover Lanes last week. The alley plans a soft opening in its new location by August, she says, and a full opening by September.
She referred further questions to her manager, who did not return calls for comment. Mary Coffey, co-chair of the North Winton Village neighborhood association, says that the group’s board has heard the Clover Lanes rumor, but it has nothing official to announce. “We’re trying to find out ourselves,” she says. “We’ve been trying to check it out, but nothing.” Coffey says that the group is not opposed to having the bowling alley in the neighborhood. It all depends, she says, on the specific proposal. “They would have to come in. They’d have to sell themselves,” she
says. “They’d have to show how it would be for traffic, how it would be for the building itself, how close it would be to residential.” To be clear, though, the neighborhood group has no official authority over the proposal; the decisions are up to the City of Rochester. North Winton already has the 12-lane L&M Lanes bowling alley at 873 Merchants Road. The retail development proposed for Brighton was put forth by Daniele Family Companies and is under review by the town. Anthony Daniele, a company vice president, did not return calls for comment.

Young Women’s College Prep will open in its new, larger location in Greece this August. And Vertus Charter School is moving to Humboldt Street in the city in July. Both charters currently occupy former Catholic schools in the city, and the parishes will retain ownership of the buildings. NEIGHBORHOODS | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN
Two city charters on the move Growth is pushing two local charter schools out of their current buildings in the northwest quadrant of the city. Young Women’s College Prep, an allgirls public school, is moving from 311 Flower City Park to the Summer Sands Campus on Hoover Drive in Greece. And Vertus, an all-boys public high school, is moving from 2 Austin Street to a larger, renovated building on Humboldt Street in the city. The buildings that the schools currently occupy used to house Catholic schools and are owned by their respective parishes. Young Women’s College Prep will open in its new, larger location in August. The Hoover Drive building is much more modern than the school’s current location, says Principal Toyia Wilson in a school newsletter, and it will have a full-size gym, modern science labs, classrooms for music and art, new food service program, and other amenities. The school serves students in grades seven through 10, but plans to expand to a full high school. The school is in its third year of operation and will leave its current site with a year still left on its lease, says Carol Wynne, director of finance for Catholic parishes on the west side of the city.

The school was formerly the Sacred Heart Catholic school. Vertus Charter School serves grades 9 and 10 but will add a grade a year until it’s a full high school in 2017-2018, says Perry White, the school’s co-founder and director of external affairs. Vertus will be in its new building in July, he says. “We’re going to grow, and we want a facility that’s designed for our unique program,” White says. Vertus students’ main curriculum is online. Students spend nearly all day with a learning team led by a full-time youth development specialist. Unlike the current location, the Humboldt Street building will have a gym. Vertus currently buses students to Total Sports
Experience in Gates for physical education. Vertus was at one time the Holy Apostle Catholic school. The growth may be good news for the charters, but it leaves two vacant buildings in the northwest quadrant. Wynne, the finance director, says that inquiries about the soon-to-be-vacant buildings have come in from day care operators as well as other agencies, such as the Volunteers of America. A subtenant will be sought for the Young Women’s site, she says, since the charter is leaving earlier than expected. The parishes intend to keep ownership of the buildings, Wynne says, because they need the rental income.
I-Square scorecard What started as a minor political scandal has taken down a top county official and has the GOP party boss, the guy who started the whole thing, still struggling to explain his actions. This mess started when Governor Andrew Cuomo appointed former Irondequoit Supervisor Adam Bello, a Democrat, to the vacant county clerk seat. Reilich took a swipe at Bello but in the process, he said that I-Square — a popular Irondequoit development owned by Mike and Wendy Nolan — is struggling. The Nolans say that their business is doing well. The Monroe County Industrial Development Agency backed Reilich up. But the question became how Reilich got his information. After initially saying that the county administration had nothing to do with it, County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo admitted last week that her assistant, Justin Roj, played a key role. He’s resigned. And Reilich issued a statement on Friday that somehow just makes the situation even more confusing. Nobody comes off clean here. In politics and government, appearance and perception are just as important as what officials actually do. And right now, it looks like Reilich, Dinolfo, and Roj all plotted an attack on Bello, and that Reilich and Roj, at least, had no problem dragging COMIDA and a privatelyowned business into the mud. The Nolans say they may sue Reilich for defamation.

The Seward family letters were bequeathed to the UR by William Henry Seward III. PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLIN

UR’s Seward archive is now online EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
September 15, 1849 – My Dear William, I often dream of you at night and Fanny and I talk much of you during the day.” This is the opening line of a letter that Frances Seward wrote to her young son when she and her husband, William H. Seward, were away in Washington, DC. Also enclosed was a small drawing from the boy’s younger sister, Fanny. The letter is one of thousands in the University of Rochester’s William Henry Seward Papers, a massive manuscript collection spanning about 350,000 pages of letters, diary entries, scrapbooks, and household papers. Yale University and the Library of Congress both wanted the collection, but it was bequeathed to UR by Seward’s grandson, William Henry Seward III. Seward is often remembered for his role in the US purchase of Alaska. But his 6 CITY
APRIL 6-12, 2016
influence, most historians agree, was much greater. He was a trial attorney, state senator, US senator, governor of New York, and an influential secretary of state to President Abraham Lincoln. Seward was targeted for assassination along with Lincoln, but survived with serious injuries. After four years of painstakingly detailed work, the Seward Family Digital Archive Project, a record of life during what is arguably one of the most intriguing times in US history, is live at www.sewardproject.org. The site is still a work in progress. The formidable project has been made easier by an unusual multigenerational collaboration between UR history students, faculty, and volunteers, some of whom are residents at the Highlands at Pittsford retirement community. All of the letters were digitized, transcribed, and entered into a computer. But the ornate cursive writing can be difficult to read and some of the phrasing is dated. The UR students can read cursive, but there’s a learning curve. The Highlands residents are more familiar with the ornate handwriting, and are better versed in the waning art of writing letters. Together, the students and seniors have been able to assemble an intimate family portrait of the Sewards.
Historians often rely on government records
and public documents when writing biographies, says Thomas Slaughter, a UR history professor who is overseeing the Seward project, because the information is accessible. But personal accounts often uncover unique perspectives of the people and the times in which they lived, he says. For instance, even though there were major advancements in transportation during Seward’s time, travel by road could still be long and grueling. Louisa Cornelia Seward wrote to her sister-in-law, Frances Seward, about how in the middle of a trip, she and another family member had to “procure wheels” for their sleigh. “Rode from Sallisbury home on bare ground in a cutter. I never can forget how it made my teeth ache,” she wrote in the 1828 letter.
The letters also helped people stay informed about the progress of diseases such as cholera and smallpox. In one letter, William H. Seward asks his family if cholera had reached Auburn, their hometown. The letters also mention the “panic of 1837” in which the whole economy essentially fell apart. In a letter dated May 27, 1837, Seward writes to his brother, Benjamin, “The panic and pressure having reached its crisis in New York seems to be carrying no less than its full measure of terror through the country.”
But there are lighter moments, too, says Serenity Sutherland, a Ph.D. candidate at the UR. The family papers include, for example, letters from pets to the Seward children. The collection also expands historians’ understanding of gender, class, and race roles during the era. In a letter dated January 16, 1861, for example, Frances Seward writes, “The alteration of the Constitution to perpetuate slavery – the enforcement of a Law to recapture a poor, suffering fugitive, giving half of the Frontier of a free Country to the curse of slavery – these compromises cannot be approved by God.”
Seward supported abolition, Slaughter says, but he was also a pragmatist concerned with the preservation of the Union. The Seward women, the papers show, tweaked him on moral grounds. “They were always hitting him from the left,” Slaughter says. Reading the handwriting in the collection
is just one of the project’s hurdles. The students must also research countless words and phrases that are no longer used in contemporary language. For example, a “bathorse” might refer to a horse used to carry luggage, and to “bat the horse” might mean to prepare the horse to carry luggage. And each person had his or her own distinct handwriting style that must be deciphered, says Margaret Becket, a retired UR librarian and volunteer for the Seward project. Keeping track of the people in the letters is another issue, she says. If Frances Seward wrote, for example, that her son is happy, Becket says, “Well, which son are we talking about now?” And how the letters were written and opened could create problems, too. The ink might have faded or smudged, and the wax seals might have removed some words when the letter was opened. A letter that hangs in the digital project work room at the UR was written with sentences flowing from left to right, and then the letter was turned and the writing continued from left to right on the same side of the paper, creating a crisscross pattern of sentences. Lyn Nelson, 85, a resident at the Highlands and a volunteer transcriber says that she and a fellow resident, Allan Anderson, 83, had no problem reading the handwriting in the Seward letters. The challenge for them, they say, has more to do with their lack of computer skills. But volunteering on the project has helped, they say. “In the beginning, oh my, it was so painful,” Nelson says. “They were incredibly patient with our thick fingered-ness,” Anderson says. “I was so afraid I would hit something and eliminate everything.” rochestercitynewspaper.com

Sanders will look particularly weak if Republicans nominate someone other than Donald Trump. A contested convention looks increasingly likely, and a less extremist party savior – John Kasich, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan – could seem more palatable to many Americans than Sanders. Many liberals – Democrats and independents alike – are embracing Sanders’ message. But regrettably, we are not the majority of Americans. We do not have the majority in Congress. While the country has come a long way on issues like same-sex marriage and health-care reform, the country is not yet where Bernie Sanders is, philosophically. Sanders promises that if he is elected, he will lead a revolution and bring about change. But historically in this country, big change has come slowly. And a president is not a dictator. Whichever Democrat is elected will have to have the support of enough senators and representatives to bring about the changes that many of us want. He or she will have to bring Congress and the rest of the country along. Even the least extreme Republican running for president right now (or waiting in the wings for a convention draft) would try to undo Barack Obama’s remarkable progress in health care reform and climate change, continue the erosion of women’s reproductive rights, reverse Obama’s temperate approach to foreign policy, and escalate the country’s economic inequality and its march toward oligarchy. And a Republican president would appoint at least one Supreme Court justice, probably more than one. A Republican president would have to have cooperation from Congress, but it seems likely that if Republicans win the White House, they’ll keep control of both the Senate and the House. It is critically important, then, for a Democrat to succeed Barack Obama as president – and that the Democratic nominee help other Democratic candidates – moderates and liberals – win a majority in the Senate. Hillary Clinton has a better chance to do that. Clinton isn’t the candidate I hoped for. And I wish the country were ready for Bernie Sanders. I wish that if he were elected he could bring about the change he and so many of us want. But this country is a democracy. The voters in this country are not yet where Bernie Sanders is, much as I wish they were. And Susan Sarandon – God help us – to the contrary, we won’t pull it there by electing Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, or John Kasich. Nor, sadly, will we pull it there by electing Sanders.

Brown Hound Bistro has opened a new location in the Memorial Art Gallery. The restaurant focuses on local and seasonal ingredients for its menu items, like (right) the bistro and caesar salads. PHOTOS BY MARK CHAMBERLIN
How now Brown Hound [ CHOW HOUND ] BY KATIE LIBBY
Trish Aser was doing the farm-to-table concept before we even started calling it “farm-to-table.” She opened the Brown Hound Bistro in 2005 in a small, centuryold Bristol house, and began sourcing all of her ingredients locally, taking advantage of the many farms and businesses in the area. The restaurant was a success and the whole concept of sourcing food locally began to explode. “I used to drive around the Finger Lakes picking up product, and then the farmers started coming to me,” she says. Faced with the challenges of location — Bristol has no Main Street, and the customer base fluctuates based on the season — Aser looked to move Brown Hound to a more centralized location. She raised $30,000 in 15 days through Kickstarter in order to fund the restaurant’s move to Canandaigua. “I was shocked at how much was raised,” she says. “It was a mixture of customers, people I had become close with; even a couple
from England who had come to the restaurant three times.” But even though the money was raised, the location she found in Canandaigua was sold to a different buyer. A phone call last October from Patti Giordano, Memorial Art Gallery’s deputy director and chief operating officer, changed everything. Max had just left the restaurant space in the MAG, and Giordano asked if Aser would consider opening her restaurant there. As all of this was happening, Aser was set up on a blind date with Joe Scardilla whose family ran the Conesus Inn for 50 years. The two began dating and talking about the potential venture with the MAG. “I knew I couldn’t ignore it; it was a fabulous opportunity,” Aser says. The couple decided to take advantage of Giordano’s offer together and Brown Hound Downtown (500 University Avenue) opened just after the New Year.

FILMMAKER CARVIN EISON ADVOCATES FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE AND ACCESSIBILITY IN MEDIA
[ FILM FEATURE ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
Carvin Eison isn’t the kind of person who concedes when he hits road blocks, whether he’s seeking funding for his challenging films or looking to strike a collaboration between organizations. Through his work as a professor, producer-director, and filmmaker, Eison has always worked to shed light on underreported topics through effective storytelling. He believes that media literacy is important for everyone, and a focus of his career has been to provide media skills and tools to students and members of the Rochester community. In his role as an associate professor in The College at Brockport’s communications department, he teaches writing for radio and television, contemporary media issues, and studio production courses. “But really what I try to teach,” Eison says, “is a way for them to utilize all of the tools they have at their disposal the appropriate way in the appropriate situation. So in essence: not what to think, but how to think.” Eison was preparing a class syllabus when Michael Brown was killed in Ferguson, Missouri, in August 2014. Like millions of other Americans, he was “riveted to the television to watch what was happening on the streets in an American city. He says it reminded him of the Rochester 1964 riot — the subject of his 2006 documentary, “July ’64: Roots of Urban Unrest.” Created with fellow filmmaker Christine Christopher, the film was broadcast nationally on PBS and received Carvin Eison at work at RCTV, where he has served as general manager for nearly 14 years.

The activity in the streets after Brown was and what was reported was the opposite of what I saw killed, and the way it was being reported, “changed at the rallies. So I took that opportunity and picked up everything I would do with my Contemporary Issues a camera.” class for the rest of that year,” Eison says. The piece “did extremely well, for a little He threw his syllabus out, and started over. “I independent film made by nobody — a student!” required my students to make three films: one that Eison says. “It was broadcast on WXXI’s “21 Report,” would explore the events from the left side of the and I was on TV and talking about it at the age of 24.” spectrum — left-leaning news organizations, such Eison’s documentary films 30 years later still as MSNBC,” he says.

One point of that exercise was to teach says. “So if it takes me longer. It doesn’t matter to me; students how different perspectives inform the I’m just going to make it.” construction of messages, and how each construction Eison says he was turned away “at every point” is designed to persuade viewers differently. when he was seeking funds to make his 2010 awardwinning film, “Shadows of the Lynching Tree.” In it, “My work has been to make films that I’m interested he interwove the true narrative of the 1916 lynching of in, right from the very beginning,” Eison says. Jesse Washington in Waco, Texas, with James Baldwin’s In the late 1970’s, he created the film “The Denise story, “Going to Meet the Man,” and bracketed it with Hawkins Incident” in response to what he saw as connections to the socio-political climate surrounding conventional media’s one-sided storytelling of the Obama’s first presidential run. Rochester story. When his efforts consistently led to dead ends, Denise Hawkins was shot by a police officer, Eison expanded his horizons and traveled to Europe, Michael Leach, on Thurston Avenue in 1975. “What where he was able to raise the funds to make the I perceived was happening, as a student — what version of the film that exists today. was actually happening — never turned up on the continues on page 12 television reports,” Eison says. “I would go to rallies, rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 11

“This is a perfect lesson to give to students,” he says. “What do you do when you have something in your head, and you know you have to do something about it, but no one will support you?”

After graduating from the College at Brockport in
1974, Eison was accepted into the graduate program at Visual Studies Workshop. Throughout the 80’s, he worked as a news photographer at WXXI, and led an arts organization called The Television Workshop, which distributed artist grants from NYSCA funding. “Through that work, I met many of the great artists at the time: Kip Fitzgerald, John Sanborn, and St. Clair Bourne,” he says. Bourne would become a lifelong friend before his death in 2007, and Eison shot a film for him in the 80’s on Amiri Baraka. Eison then became producer-director at WXXI, where he directed a number of arts and cultural programs, and learned the craft of live directing. In the late 1980’s, he was asked to interview for a position at the College at Brockport as an adjunct, in order to finish a course for someone who was leaving. “They hired me for a short-term job,” he says, “and I’ve been there for 25 years.” About the time that he was up for tenure in 2003, a few people suggested that Eison apply for the general manager position at RCTV Media Center, where he had served as a board member since the late 90’s. “So I decided to do both jobs, and the college and station went along with it,” Eison says. “It has been to everyone’s benefit, because some of my classes for the last 10 years have been taught at the station.” This gives college students the opportunity to go out into the community and put into practice some of the things they’re learning in class; it also allows high school students at the station to rub elbows with college students on production and proper decorum in the classroom, Eison says. The programming that the students make ends up on air at RCTV. Despite having a schedule that would make others frantic, Eison is the epitome of cool clarity. He speaks with a measured, laid-back tone, but the contents of his words are emphatic and passionate. “I love this job so much that I would do it even if they didn’t pay me,” Eison says with a joke regarding his work at RCTV. “Because it is an extraordinary opportunity for regular people just like you and I to have access to media, to tools and conventions, but also a place to execute that learning and deliver a message to a public.” RCTV has recently added an independent lowpower FM radio station, 100.9 WXIR. Eison says he sees participation in media as participation in democracy, and he’d like to see college students work on a community news program that “repositions this notion of contentious news or breaking news into a different definition — maybe just exploring what’s going on in a particular neighborhood on a particular block,” he says. “Or dealing with some concerns that may be important to the health and viability of the community, but rarely get addressed because of time and resources.” He’s interested in helping a new generation of filmmakers, journalists, and artists explore issues — such

as teen pregnancy, relationship abuse, school nutrition programs, criminal justice, and incarceration rates — through more on-the-ground perspectives in Rochester’s so-called “Fatal Crescent.” An ace at observing and connecting conceptual
patterns within culture, Eison consistently draws astute parallels within his films and in conversation. For example, Eison uses Oscar Wilde’s philosophical story “The Picture of Dorian Gray” to explore how white men effectively demonized black men. “People, particularly white Southern males who were wealthy, used black men like Dorian Gray used the canvas — while presenting himself as virtuous and wonderful and pure to the world,” he says. “But what they were really doing was projecting the hate and the raping and the pillaging and the killing, and all the things they were doing, onto black people.” Eison says he’s been asked many times why he doesn’t make the kind of film that will make a lot of money. “I want to do that,” he says, earnestly. “But I have very serious ideas that I’m interested in, and very often those ideas are not the kind that are going to make money. I wish I could use my skillset, and my desire to tell stories, to make other kinds of films. But sadly, these are the stories that must be told. Otherwise, they become an item on the news for one news cycle, and then they’re gone.” Last year, Eison created a short video that was projected during Geva’s production of “The Mountaintop.” In the play, Martin Luther King Jr. is visited by an angel on the last night of his life and is given a vision of the world after his death. “It’s a wonderful magical-realism play,” Eison says. The video is a distillation of important social justice events and cultural touchstones between 1968 and now. It’s quite moving and packs big impact into a few short minutes. Eison says that because the content of his work is so overwhelming, often the artful side of his storytelling is overlooked. His aesthetic concerns center on the
intersection of images, words, and sound, and he says he can be fairly obsessive about perfecting his techniques. “People know me as a documentary filmmaker, but I want to make a film,” he says. “I believe that I have at least one film to make, and I hope that it’s going to be this one that we’re working on now.” For his current project, Eison is working with journalist Erica Bryant in writing a story that has been supported by the Rochester Area Community Foundation and the Farash Foundation. The story will be set in Rochester, but “Rochester as a composite for all American cities,” he says. Some themes Eison is watching, which may or may not make an appearance in the film, have to do with the Flint, Michigan, water crisis and how racist rhetoric surrounding the current presidential election is affecting young Muslims and other marginalized groups in America. “It keeps changing because the world keeps changing,” he says. “But I’m very much concerned about this central thing: how children are affected by what adults do.” This is an essential theme in “Shadows of the Lynching Tree,” in which a black teen is killed but also a young white boy is impacted by being forced to witness brutality toward black people as a celebratory event. “I’m very interested in how children are experiencing the world around them, and how that affects them,” Eison says. “All of those children who witnessed lynchings … who did they grow up to be?” His questions ask the audience to consider that these children became adults who are still living in this world, who carry the impression of lynching-asnormative that was presented to them at a tender age. That impact endures. Things keep happening, the world keeps changing, but sooner or later, artists have to put down the paintbrush and call a project finished. “I tell my students: try to engage your material at the deepest and most profound levels that you are capable of while you’re working on it,” he says. “Deal with it in as complete a way as you can.”

Since the early 1980’s, Snidero has paid his dues in a wide variety of settings including stints with Jack McDuff, the Mel Lewis Orchestra, and Frank Sinatra’s backup band. He’s also carved out a solo career with 17 albums as a leader.

Over the last two decades, Dave Anderson has gradually carved out a reputation as a saxophonist to reckon with. First on the Seattle scene and now in New York, Anderson has supported artists like Clark Terry, Craig Taborn, and Mel Torme. The release of “Blue Innuendo” leaves no doubt about his future as a leader: Whether he’s playing a ballad or an up-tempo burner, Anderson’s work on both tenor and soprano sax is consistently fluid and adventurous. Another reason for Anderson’s success with this album is his impeccable choice in band mates. Tom Guarna is superb at every turn as he weaves his way through each composition on guitar. Pat Bianchi’s organ playing recalls nothing short of the great 1960’s B-3 giants. And Matt Wilson proves once again that he is among the most versatile drummers in jazz. Put this crew together with Anderson’s excellent compositions and arrangements and you get an album that cooks from start to finish. — BY RON NETSKY

[ POP/ROCK ]
Charlie Ellis. Via Girasole
The Demos, baby. I’ve loved this band ever since it burst on the scene some 10-odd years ago. And this new EP, “Paramount Clouds,” serves to further cement my ardor. This is pure power pop stuff in line with Cheap Trick’s memorable work on “Heaven Tonight,” full of chunky riffs, harmonies, and hooks for miles. You see, a pop melody typically catches the listener’s ear within a few spins, but every goddamn cut on this five-song wonder wheel is almost recognizable before it is heard, if that’s even possible. In contrast to the cavalier and rootsy vocals — delivered plaintive, pretty and low key — the guitar work pushes beyond its rhythm and twang role to once again flirt with a subtle electronica, as the band has been known to do on previous outings. The lyrics are clever alongside the pop melody, and it’s not too sweet. This is the sound of pure joy. I love The Demos, and I love, love “Paramount Clouds.” — BY FRANK DE BLASE

As if by magic, The Sword swirls and sways throughout its heavy landscape with a flourishing melodic ease amid its own crushing thunder. Clearly disciples of Black Sabbath and its ilk, the Austin-based band colors way outside the lines and restrictions put upon them by the casual or lazy listener. The Sword shuns the prison of the pigeonhole, and has done so since its inception in 2003. “Stoner” gets thrown around, and so does “doom” and “metal.” But this band is as thoughtful as it is dark — especially on its most recent Razor & Tie album, “High Country.” There are hints of psychedelia, but with restraint when most bands would simply pin it in the red. This fearsome foursome rides the clutch. The guitars cascade and collide at times, weaving in and out of the chug and subtle pastel synthetic wash. It’s deadly and dynamic, with thoughts provoked mid-head bang. There is a story going on here; there’s a lyrical narrative. The band has charted in the top 20 on the Billboard 200, had its music featured on “Guitar Hero,” and was handpicked by Metallica to open its European Vacation Tour back in 2008. We shot some questions at guitarist Kyle Shutt. He answered like this… City: Where are the best fans of your music? How about the best cities worldwide to play? Kyle Shutt: I would say that the West Coast
of the US has been consistently some of the
16 CITY APRIL 6-12, 2016

People stick their phones in your face throughout the entire set if you don’t tell them to stop, but the moshing has died down. A lot more bands sing rather than scream. And Orange amps dominate the scene, which is why I play Big Crunch. What is your writing process? Influences?
We all write in different ways. Personally, I try to listen to the universe and play what I hear. What are some of the influences in your music that aren’t necessarily apparent to the listener?
Non-musical influences like books, movies, meeting people all over the world and listening to their perspective. What is a misperception of your band or sound you’d like to clear up?
We’re not a metal band. List a few recent live show highlights.

Having lasted this long through so many changes in the industry. It’s a game of having to constantly adapt, and we’ve been one of the lucky ones. I never take that for granted. What’s next for The Sword?

It was Geoff Tate’s soaring demon vocals that catapulted Queensryche into its own stratosphere where — too conceptual for metal, but too heavy for prog — the band reigned unchallenged. Now on his own and touring with Operation Mindcrime, Tate will showcase material off his new album, “The Key,” as well as some heavy treats from the Queensryche days, like “Silent Lucidity” and “Jet City Woman.”

Family dramas have done incredibly well onstage in the last decade — “August: Osage County” and “Next to Normal” are great examples — winning Pulitzer Prizes and Drama Desk Awards and giving audiences a chance to escape from their own private lives into the fictional problems of another familial unit. And really, who doesn’t enjoy that? These types of shows are often powered by small casts and take place primarily in a set that depicts the family’s living room or kitchen. It’s the kind of show every producer wants in a season — often it’s a new work — and can provide a platform for strong actors who excel in emotional dialogue. JCC CenterStage, under the artistic direction of Ralph Meranto, actively seeks out these sorts of productions. “Other Desert Cities,” the latest offering from the CenterStage, is one such show. “Other Desert Cities” is the eighth work by Jewish playwright Jon Robin Baitz, opening off-Broadway in 2011 and transferring to
Broadway within the year. It was also a finalist for the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and nominated for the 2012 Tony Award for Best New Play, though it didn’t win either. The story follows the Wyeth family on Christmas Eve 2004 in Palm Springs, California. Daughter Brooke Wyeth, a writer who now lives in Long Island and hasn’t visited in six years, has returned to spend the holidays with her pro-GOP, oldHollywood money parents, Lyman and Polly, as well as her younger brother, Trip, a reality TV producer, and her alcoholic aunt Silda Grauman, a former TV writer. As is expected from this genre, there is a family secret revealed throughout the course of the play, prompted by Brooke’s plans to publish a memoir surrounding the suicide of her older brother, Henry, which happened in the 1970’s. The audience’s first impression of the play is the set, a chic living room that’s modeled around mid-century architecture with touches of California’s airy style. Since the entire play takes place in this room, designer Shelly Stam has painstakingly created a set that feels luxurious and believable — from the glowing fireplace to the crystal decanter of vodka. (It should be noted that this is Stam’s first set design, and it’s an absolute triumph.) Stam also creates a natural aesthetic with her costume design, which feels tailored to each character’s tastes, from Polly’s sweaters and flashy jewelry to Silda’s silky kimono. Lighting designer Tom
Habecker plays off the warmth of the set to add desert tones befitting a Palm Springs morning and sunset. Director David Runzo, a familiar fixture in the local theater scene, directs five actors in this piece to varying degrees of success. Returning to the JCC stage again this year is Davida Bloom (Silda), who also appeared in “Coney Island Christmas.” Bloom is always a delight to watch onstage, as she gives herself fully to each role and provides reactionary dialogue for each of her costars. (As the alcoholic, raving Silda, she’s almost too convincing.) For the first time since 1982, Fred Nuernberg (Lyman Wyeth) returns to the JCC stage as well. Though his movements and delivery felt a bit wooden at times, he’s every bit the aging Hollywood star with his regal posture and measured diction. Danny Kincaid Kunz plays Trip, the youngest Wyeth child, a would-be peacemaker with a few secrets of his own. Kunz, who’s also a local improv actor, is a bit frantic and underwhelming in both his delivery and movements, but he carries off several passionate lines nicely (in particular, his last monologue). Marlo DiCrasto (Brooke Wyeth) and Patricia Lewis Browne (Polly Wyeth) portray the roles that provide not only much of the plot’s emotional foundation, but also its rising action. In the role of the matriarch, Browne is a natural fit. Her facade of control and her relationship to each character is laid out from the top of the show, and Lewis immerses herself in the character’s journey. For DiCrasto, this was not the case. Though the show might be considered an ensemble piece, DiCrasto’s character provides the catalyst in the plot — it’s important that the actor playing this role is the strongest performer onstage. Unfortunately, there were many moments in the show when DiCrasto delivered a simply average performance, at best. At times it felt as though she was reciting lines, rather than connecting them back to the recipient or her own emotions. Perhaps the most excruciating moment was when DiCrasto’s character realizes the family secret and reacts. Her physical choice in that moment — which may have been a stage direction — completely detracts from the gravity of the denouement. In “Other Desert Cities,” Baitz has provided a moving, brilliant script for actors to build upon — but if there isn’t an emotional connection (or, in DiCrasto’s case, basic reactions during important dialogue), the power of the show will not translate. Actors must be the conduit between script and audience.

ART | “FROM ANCIENT TO MODERN”
If you think something’s a little off with the lighting in the images in Steven Randell’s photo exhibit, you’d be right. “From Ancient to Modern: Classic Greek Architecture in Black, White and Blue,” currently on view at Gay Alliance’s Gallery Q (100 College Avenue, Suite 110), features 60 infrared photographs from his November 2015 trip to Athens and Mykonos. The surfaces of the pristine architecture and hillsides couldn’t possibly have been so brightly lit by the seemingly nighttime skies — but the otherworldly effect is achieved through a kind of photography sensitive to the infrared spectrum of light. Randell shot the iconic, building-lined coasts and flora-laden rocky hills using a modified Canon 40D SLR camera, making the sensor sensitive to infrared light.
ONE WORLD GOODS Freshest Styless in
Fair Trade Fashion PITTSFORD PLAZA
“These images show the interplay of infrared light and how it behaves beyond our normal perception,” Randell says. “Greece with its ancient modern white toned monuments and architecture is perfectly suited to IR photography.” The show continues through Friday, April 29. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call 244-8640 or visit gayalliance.org. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY Artists/musicians Paul Dodd, Charles Jaffe, Peter Monacelli, Steve Piper and Scott Regan. thelittle.org.

SPECIAL EVENT | PUSH PHYSICAL THEATRE FUNDRAISER
PUSH Physical Theatre on Saturday will host a public fundraiser, a first for the 16-year-old company, inside its South Wedge rehearsal studio. The black and white themed party will give attendees the chance to mingle with PUSH performers and get a look at the organization’s new space. There will be a live jazz performance, dance music, cocktail tastings by Black Button Distilling, cash bar, and a candy buffet. PUSH recently finished a successful run of “Jekyll & Hyde” at Blackfriars Theatre, and is preparing to take that production on the road. And the company recently received partial funding from the Rochester Area Community Foundation to use for the creation of “Zeros and Ones,” a new multimedia piece that will premiere at this year’s Rochester Fringe Festival. The PUSH fundraiser will take place Saturday, April 9, at 389 Gregory Street (third floor). 7:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. $50. pushtheatre.org. — BY JAKE CLAPP

THEATER | “IT’S ONLY A PLAY”
For the cast and crew involved, the moments after a Broadway show premieres must be nerve-racking as they await reviews and audience reception. Terrence McNally’s “It’s Only a Play” drops the audience into a party hosted by a wealthy producer following the opening night of “The Golden Egg” on Broadway. While celebrity guests are mingling, a group of people directly involved with the show — the nervous playwright; the playwright’s best friend; the drugged-up leading lady; and the young, unstable director — along with an anxious theater critic and a coat-checker with aspirations to sing, are waiting for the reaction. Presented by RAPA and OFC Creations, “It’s Only a Play” is directed by Eric Vaughn Johnson and stars Diane Chevron, Billy Demetsenaere, Wayne Dunbar, Dresden Engle, Ken Harrington, Alec Powell, and Roy Wise. “It’s Only a Play” continues Friday, April 8, through Sunday, April 10, at Kodak Center’s Studio Theatre, 200 West Ridge Road. 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday; 2 p.m. on Sunday. $17-$20. kodakcenter.org. — BY JAKE CLAPP for the first, second, and third place teams.

THEATER | “MORE THAN A RIB”
Black Sheep Theatre, this weekend and next, will present a program of one-acts that focus on women and the universal stories they share. “More Than a Rib” will include three works by Jane Shepard — “Commencing,” about a blind date between a straight woman and a lesbian; “Friends of the Deceased,” which follows a widow who waits at her husband’s grave in order to catch his mistress; and “The Last Nickel,” a play about two sisters — and a piece by local playwright Mary Megan. In “Me, Mom … And Elaine,” a daughter returns home to face “moments that transfixed and transformed her life.” “More Than a Rib” is directed by Kristy Angevine-Funderburk and Colleen DiVincenzo. “More Than a Rib” will take place Friday, April 8, through Saturday, April 16, at Black Sheep Theatre, 274 North Goodman Street (Village Gate, D313). 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays; 2 p.m. on Sunday, April 10. $16-$20. 8614816; blacksheeptheatre.org. — BY JAKE CLAPP the venue Free. 210--0075. rochestermakerspace.org.

The world at large “Boy & the World”
(PG), DIRECTED BY ALÊ ABREU NOW PLAYING AT THE LITTLE THEATRE [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
When it comes the Oscars, the cliché has always been that “it’s an honor just to be nominated.” And while the actual nominees are free to disagree, there are many ways in which the bromide holds true — particularly for the independent films that break through to Hollywood’s biggest night. And by far the biggest boost an Academy Award nomination can give a film is exposure. Just look at this year’s nominees for Best Animated Feature (inevitably the
category with the most interesting and diverse range of films): Sure, the big guns — Disney and Pixar — often dominate in terms of actual wins, but the category always finds space for some delightfully offbeat and unexpected choices among the nominations. From the kid-friendly “Shaun the Sheep Movie” and the wistful “When Marnie Was There” to the Pixar blockbuster “Inside Out,” and the adults-only “Anomalisa,” the five nominated films run the gamut in terms of style, budget, subject matter, and country of origin. Probably the least known among this year’s batch of the nominees, Brazilian director Alê Abreu’s imaginative environmental parable “Boy & the World” has finally opened in Rochester for a month-long run at The Little Theatre. The film is being released in the US by GKids, an indie distributor specializing in animation from around the world, with an outstanding track record for bringing this type of small, high-quality film to America (and to the Oscar’s attention). Without its efforts leading to a crucial nomination, it is unlikely local

audiences would have ever had an opportunity to see the film on the big screen. The film tells the story of a small, carefree young boy (identified as Cuca in the credits) living on his family’s farm in the country. Beginning with a mostly white screen, we see Cuca frolicking through nature, exploring his surroundings as the environment gradually fills in around him. The story progresses and the images expand and grow more detailed as the boy’s perspective broadens, allowing us to see the world through his eyes. The farm is unable to sustain the family, and the boy’s father is forced to leave home to find work in the city. Shortly after, Cuca also leaves home to search of his father, and along the way he encounters a world more complicated, scary, and confusing than he ever imagined. Gradually the film’s messages come into focus. As Cuca travels from the country into the big city, he meets a few individuals who bestow some kindness on him. First is an elderly man who picks cotton in the fields outside the city. The city itself presents an immaculate, gleaming image from afar, but up close it’s a land of squalor and decay — a far cry from the Eden-like environment where the boy grew up. In this urban dystopia, Cuca is taken in by a young street musician who toils in a factory, manufacturing products to be sent off overseas. Both the old man and the younger are part of a larger working class being exploited by the titans of industry. Delivering a message warning of the dangers of globalization and capitalism, the film may not

be subtle, but stylistically it dazzles. The animation has a tactile, handcrafted aesthetic that seemingly incorporates a variety of mediums: crayons and colored pencils, collage, and bit of computer animation. The whimsically imaginative and colorful design style at times resembles elaborate renderings of children’s drawings. Mandalas and kaleidoscope imagery are recurring motifs, and Abreu frequently switches to overhead views, transforming the frame into beautiful geometric patterns. One section shifts to live-action footage, showing us a montage of pollution and deforestation. The jump is jarring (likely intentionally so), though it seems unnecessary as by that point the message has already been heard loud and clear. The story is told almost entirely without spoken words; what little dialogue is present is delivered as intelligible gibberish (apparently Portuguese played backwards). The mood is set by Ruben Feffer and Gustavo Kurlat’s percussive score, which incorporates Carnivale-like parade music, Brazilian hip-hop, and a mournful flute melody. In the film’s world, music is a major force of good, unifying the people and lifting their spirits when times seem bleakest. Often the notes come to life on the screen, emerging from instruments and floating through the air in the form of multicolored bubbles. While younger audiences can enjoy the bright, lively animation style of “Boy & the World,” the story resonates on another level entirely for adult viewers, delivering a rather melancholy moral wrapped in wide-eyed childlike wonder.
