P’s — people and parking — it seems to overlook a third critically important and intricately linked one: public transportation. The Greater Rochester area’s publictransportation options, limited primarily to city buses and taxi cabs, are woeful.

Once upon a time, people here talked about the need for better public transportation, including light rail. Why is there no more discussion? Rochester will never reach its potential without better public transportation to bring more people downtown without necessarily creating a need for more parking.

Envision a Mount Hope line linking the University of Rochester and RIT with downtown (solving many college students’ dilemma of a lack of transportation); a Monroe line connecting St. John Fisher and Nazareth colleges to center city; a Charlotte line linking it to downtown; and a much-needed airport line. Visitors flying into ROC have very limited options to get around, unlike vibrant cities such as Philadelphia, Seattle, and Minneapolis that feature convenient and affordable light rail from their airports.

Unfortunately, it’s too late to use the historic Hojack Swing Bridge to link Charlotte with Sea Breeze via light rail. But it’s not too late to restart a discussion about improving Rochester’s overall poor and embarrassing public transportation options.

If not, expect future discussions about downtown Rochester’s “momentum” and “resurgence,” which, I predict,

might otherwise never be quite fully sustained or realized.

Conservation requires constant effort

In her very valuable, informative, and worrying letter of April 6, Linda Levitan drew attention to the infestation of black swallowwort in parks and woodlands around Rochester and to the serious consequences for the monarch butterfly population.

As she points out, black swallow-wort is one of many invasive species responsible for impoverishing natural landscapes, degrading and even destroying them as effectively as if they had been scoured by a bulldozer.

The problem is extraordinarily widespread, affecting landscapes we might like to think of as pristine.

Even the famous trout streams of the Catskills, for example, are lined with thickets of Japanese knotweed.

What to do? Black swallowwort and other invasive plants are extremely difficult and timeconsuming to eradicate. Practically, it will be necessary to select sites of particular scientific and/or aesthetic value for intervention, which must usually be maintained for years to have an effect.

One such site is the “sacred wood” of Washington Grove, adjoining Cobbs Hill Park in the City of Rochester, an old-growth forest of great interest for its geological character, its ancient trees, and its wildlife, and a favorite area for gentle recreation for many Rochesterians.

Here, a dedicated band of volunteers has worked for several years, with the support of the city, to rid the forest of noxious invasive plants, which not only supplant the indigenous species (especially the white and black oaks), but also do not match the oaks and hickories in their capacity to harbor and sustain a wealth of birds, insects, and other organisms.

I invite readers who do not know Washington Grove to visit this special place. Also I urge all readers to consult the Facebook page of the Friends of Washington Grove, which provides information about the achievements of the Friends so far, as well as about forthcoming

workdays on which volunteers are always welcome.

The Friends also seeks funding for its ongoing campaign of planting lost species in the Grove, especially in the herb layer (which in many preserved forests has been largely lost to deer).

Finally, to return to Ms. Levitan’s concern for monarchs and in response to the general disappearance of pollinators, one of the Friends’ projects is the creation of a wildflower garden on the edge of the Grove toward Cobbs Hill reservoir.

Rochester has good reason for pride in its park system; now Washington Grove is becoming a model of stewardship of natural resources in an urban park.

‘Desert’ review was way off

I’m so glad that I only have ever trusted a critic as much as a used car salesman. This show (“Other Desert Cities,” theater review, April 6)

was phenomenal; I honesty felt like I was viewing a real family. From the set to the dialogue, I think they nailed this performance.

Marlo was absolutely flawless playing Brooke. I could tell she was emotionally invested in this part; I really felt for her character. Danny K. was a stud as always playing Trip.

Each cast member was perfect for the part that was played.

I went home totally satisfied in the production. I wish it were longer!

Rochester has a trash problem

It is heartwarming to see many of the improvements in the downtown area. I find myself in and around there, plus many of the residential areas of Rochester, on a regular basis.

One thing that would improve the look of the city greatly would be a massive cleanup effort and advertising campaigns to try and keep it clean.

There is so much trash flying around; it is very unsettling for a city in this wealthy country to have the filth that it does. Many feel that it is a problem for developing nations, but truly it is a problem right here in our own back yard.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

A realistic, proven plan to create better schools This week, a group of Rochesterians are launching what I think is the only realistic way to reform public education in Rochester: a plan for a countywide network of public magnet schools drawing students from the city and the suburbs.

The group, now called Great Schools for All, began several years ago as a coalition of Presbyterians from several area churches and has grown to include a larger, diverse group of people concerned about Rochester’s schools, from the city and the suburbs. (Disclosure: Great Schools’ leaders include two of my pastors, Third Presbyterian’s John Wilkinson and Lynette Sparks; Third Church member Don Pryor; and journalist Mark Hare, whose career includes stints at the local Gannett dailies and this newspaper).

Deeply concerned about the low achievement of many Rochester students, the Great Schools group has been studying the vast research about the problems of the country’s urban schools.

It has held meetings and workshops on the topic. Two years ago, 11 Great Schools participants visited Raleigh, North Carolina, whose integrated school system boosted the academic achievement of its children. Their findings reinforced what some of them had long believed: Rochester’s high concentration of poverty is preventing thousands of children from getting a good education.

Their solution: magnet schools with a mix of poor and non-poor children, no more than 50 percent poor in any one school.

All across the country, cities are facing the same thing: dramatically low student achievement and high poverty rates in many of their public schools. And most of us keep trying to do the same thing: raise student achievement without dealing with the poverty.

You can find pockets of success, individual schools – traditional public schools, charter schools – with good achievement rates, but they’re the exception. What has worked consistently: creating schools with low poverty rates.

“The evidence,” says Mark Hare, “is not only compelling but overwhelming that when you integrate schools along socioeconomic lines, you can see dramatic improvement in outcomes for the poorest children.”

And in this community, our economic and racial segregation is so extreme that the only way we can create schools with

There’s no way that the city school district can fix itself,” says Don Pryor, “because of the demographics.”

– GREAT SCHOOLS’ DON PRYOR

no more than 50 percent poverty is to include students from both the city and the suburbs.

Every city public school has a student poverty rate of at least 60 percent. And in many cases, the poverty rate is 80 to 90 percent. “There’s no way that the city school district can fix itself,” says Don Pryor, “because of the demographics.”

Great Schools’ plan is simply a framework, an idea with some firm parameters: primary and secondary magnet schools that would cross existing school district lines, city and suburban, each with a limit on the number of poor children it enrolled. The schools would offer programs that individual districts couldn’t offer on their own: technology, the arts, languages…. They could be located in the city or the suburbs.

Enrollment would be voluntary.

This is not a plan for a countywide school district. And the Great Schools group doesn’t want to create or operate the schools; they could be run by several school districts together, by an area college, or by a new organization.

Great Schools members assume that their idea will become reality slowly, starting with two or three schools, maybe by the fall of 2017. And they know it may be a heavy lift.

For one thing, operating an inter-district public school will require some changes in state law. Public school aid will have to be configured so that none of the participating school districts suffer financially. continues on page 8

Warren announces new initiatives

In her second State of the City address, Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren said that she would seek funding to start filling in the north section of the Inner Loop.

The loop’s east side is being filled in now. Warren also said that she wants to revive the long-stalled La Marketa retail project on North Clinton Avenue.

Developer Robert Morgan is working with the Seneca Nation to put together a proposal for a combined casino and performing arts center at Midtown. FILE PHOTO DEVELOPMENT | BY JEREMY MOULE

Casino idea greeted with caution Downtown casinos are complex projects that tend to stir up strong emotions on both sides, for and against.

Attach the Seneca Nation of Indians to any potential project and the discussion gets very heated very fast.

News broke last week that developer Robert Morgan is working with the Seneca Nation to put together a proposal for a combined casino and performing arts center at the Midtown site in downtown Rochester. Morgan is talking with city officials about the idea.

A spokesperson for Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren says that the talks are precursory, but that the city is open to all development options that will create jobs.

There’s no concrete proposal on the table, and it’s not clear how other developers who are investing heavily in downtown will react to the idea of a casino right in the middle of everything. Morgan’s firm is leading or partnering in some of the big residential projects in the City of Rochester, including Tower280 at Midtown.

Heidi Zimmer-Meyer, president of the Rochester Downtown Development Corporation, says that officials, business leaders, and the public first need to understand any proposal before rushing to judgement.

The developer promises up to 500 jobs, at least some of which would require no more than a high school

diploma, which Zimmer-Meyer says is an important consideration in a market such as Rochester, which struggles with high unemployment in areas of the inner city.

A Seneca casino would also provide an opportunity to get a performing arts center downtown without government investment or subsidies, she says.

But there are also significant social impacts to consider, she says.

And because the casino would be sovereign territory, it wouldn’t pay taxes, Zimmer-Meyer says, so how will the community be compensated? The Seneca Nation could, for example, agree to hand over a percentage of its gaming revenues, she says.

Anyone who was around for former mayor Bob Duffy’s ill-fated bid for mayoral control of the city school district knows that Mayor Lovely Warren is in for a fight. The head of the Rochester teachers union sees Warren’s plan as a creeping form of mayoral control.

EDUCATION | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN AND TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Warren’s schools plan rips open old wound Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren’s announcement last week that she is seeking a pivotal role in the rescue efforts for the city’s most troubled schools is the bold declaration that many people have anticipated since her election.

Warren ran her 2013 mayoral campaign in large part on education, but action had been conspicuously lacking until her announcement during her State of the City address on April 13.

What Warren wants is a decisionmaking role in city schools that go into state receivership. These are schools identified as “struggling” or “persistently struggling” under the state’s new receivership law; 14 Rochester schools are currently on the path to receivership.

One of the options to turn around these schools is to pair them with proven outside entities, which assume almost total control of their individual schools — much like the University of Rochester-East High School partnership. East has its own superintendent, for example, and all school staff had to reapply for their jobs once the UR took over.

But Warren sees potential for chaos in the state process. The potential number of receivership schools in Rochester could lead

to the appointment of multiple overseers with multiple strategies to improve their schools, she says.

“It just doesn’t make sense,” Warren said during an interview last week. “There will be children that will be left behind in that process.”

Warren wrote the state Board of Regents and state Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia, asking for the appointment of a single independent receiver to oversee all eligible Rochester schools. The schools could be grouped together, she says, into an “achievement district.”

But even if the state agrees with the idea of an achievement district, City Hall still would not have an official role to play in the proceedings, she said, unless the state gives it one.

Warren wants the authority to help craft the framework of the achievement district, she said, and to help pick the receiver who is hired to run the schools, and maybe to also help pick the superintendent of the new district.

Warren said that it remains to be seen if the city would have a longer-term role in the receivership schools beyond helping to set up

the district and choose the receiver.

But anyone who was around for former mayor Bob Duffy’s ill-fated bid for mayoral control of the city school district in 2010 knew as soon as Warren made her announcement that she’s in for a fight.

Despite Warren’s assurances to the contrary, the head of the Rochester teachers union sees Warren’s plan as a creeping form of mayoral control.

“Let’s be transparent and call it what it is,” said Adam Urbanski, head of the Rochester Teachers Association. “I thought we already had this debate, and the public said no to it.”

Warren’s plan is actually the opposite of what the school district should do, he said.

Customization is key, Urbanski said, because every school and every student is different.

If Warren is really serious about improving students’ performance in school, he said, she’ll concentrate instead on making city streets and neighborhoods safe.

“Are we saying that the mayor has so mastered the running of this city, this becomes the logical next step?” he said.

Rochester school board President Van White said that he was blindsided

by Warren’s announcement, and that he’s

disappointed she chose this route.

“I thought we had worked hard to create an open and collaborative relationship,” he said. “I would have thought she would have at least shared with the board the concerns she has that prompted her to do this.”

Warren said that she shared her viewpoint with the board “in a roundabout way.”

“This is not something that I have been, you know, keeping secret,” she said. “I have spoken about it in many different ways and saying, ‘Look, you know, I don’t think we should have individual receivers for different schools.”

APRIL 20-26, 2016

Work affects people’s health in many ways.

Consider, for example, the increasingly clear connection between sedentary jobs and obesity, or the benefits people get from forming bonds with their coworkers.

But the impacts can vary from job to job; a CEO works in a much different environment, with different hazards and stresses, than a factory worker. Wages matter, too, since they often determine where people live and their ability to access health care or nutritious food.

Unions, sociologists, activists, and occupational health professionals are taking a growing interest in the relationship between low-wage work and people’s health. In Syracuse, the Occupational Health Clinical Center is leading a project to identify those connections through in-depth conversations and workshops with low-wage workers from the region. The center is part of a stateestablished network of regional occupational health clinics Project researchers are finding that lowwage employees such as restaurant and retail staff, custodial workers, and certified nursing assistants often work through serious pain, that they don’t get treatment for on-the-job injuries, that they frequently experience wage theft, that they are given unworkable or exhausting schedules, and that they feel like they aren’t respected. The findings are part of a 2015 report, “Healthy Work in Syracuse?

Conversations with Low-Wage Workers.”

“That’s one of the biggest stories out of this: low-wage work is also unhealthy work because it’s connected not just with the

poverty that low wages bring, but the types of employment,” says the report’s lead author, Jeanette Zoeckler, program manager with the Occupational Health Clinical Center.

Project leaders hope to ultimately make short-, medium-, and long-term policy recommendations to better address jobrelated health issues that affect low-wage workers, she says.

Zoeckler discussed her findings recently at the Workers United Hall on East Avenue during an event organized by Finger Lakes Occupational Health Services, which is also part of the State Occupational Health Clinic Network. In a recent interview, Zoeckler talked about the project and its findings. An edited version of the conversation follows.

CITY: How does this project help address worker health?

Zoeckler: We are trying to assess the needs and characterize the needs of various lowwage workers. There’s a lot we don’t know about that. We knew about factories because unions would get together and do health and safety investigations; there would be concerns about conditions inside of physical plants because they were dangerous.

As we’ve moved away from industrialization, what we don’t know is the kind of jobs that exist now, what are their dangers? What are the things that people face on a daily basis? They don’t seem to be the big moving parts that are in a huge factory operation. It’s a different kind of health threat.

As we’re with workers, we’re able to help them know more about their rights and know more about their occupations and their safety.

How do low-wage jobs affect workers’ health?

It’s in two ways. One, that low wages, in general, are a threat to people’s health, for obvious reasons: buying food, access to health care. Low wages put people in poverty; people can’t live on them and sustain their health.

But then the second way, and the way we’re trying to bring forward, is that the working conditions themselves threaten people’s health on the job. The work itself is dangerous.

How big is the wage theft problem? What do workers describe?

Almost half have reported at least one incident of wage theft.

People are asked to come in early or stay late off the clock. The manager will pressure them because they’ve got to make some kind of number, or else [they’re] going to have to fire people. So they’re under threat.

Sometimes people are required to pay for their own safety equipment, but that isn’t supposed to happen. Also, they often can be paid less than they agreed to work for.

And a lot of times they feel like they can’t say anything, either, because, well, you’re lucky you have a job.

A lot of people told us they’re paid late, and that costs people. You can imagine their own bills are late or they can’t pay their rent or whatever. Being paid under the table for overtime — and that ends up not being the overtime rate — is another very common one.

SOUTH WEDGE

Sometimes they know it and realize they’re being taken advantage of, other times they figure it’s just part of the job: I have to do it or I might get fired.

area businesses & restaurants

What most surprised the team? What have you heard from workers that you didn’t expect?

Somewhere between 30 percent and 38 percent — we asked it twice and got two different numbers — of people experienced symptoms they think are from their job, some kind of pain or symptoms. But they…aren’t seeking medical care yet, and maybe they never will.

At the end of the first survey we asked them if there was one thing you could change about your job, what would it be?

And there were wage issues and hours, but the number one issue was needing to be respected in the workplace.

We were expecting them to say more about health issues or other sorts of problems, especially after we just asked them 99 questions about health and their access to health.

They were like, “We know our jobs are not glamorous, we’re not making a lot of money, but we just need to be treated like human beings.” And that discrimination and lack of respect was powerful.

Are they talking about respect from supervisors and coworkers, or do they include customers and clients?

It’s from every direction. They feel very often the job is invisible to the society around them; they’re not really looked at and considered as a human being.

A lot of times it’ll be something around their families; they’re not given time off because they’re apparently not important enough if their child is sick, whereas the higher rungs of the ladder in the workplace, all of that of course is normal.

Also, the way that they’re spoken to really bothers them. They report a lot of condescension.

These people work hard, and the public often seems unsympathetic.

They make $11 an hour, they have two kids, they can’t pay everything, they don’t want to resort to the government, but “What are we supposed to do?” they say.

Here they are, sometimes working two jobs or just trying to go to school and work.

There are lots who are too exhausted to even talk to me, they’re too worn down. It’s not everyone who can just pull themselves up by their bootstraps; there are some people that the system is so set against that it’s not even possible.

There have always been lousy jobs and, probably, there always will be. But we’re trying to have a civilized society in which people’s health and dignity can be maintained, so that their worth as workers could be strong enough so they could live and not have this exhaustion and this disempowerment.

And somebody will have to be willing to go first – some suburban district, organization, or college will have to be willing to invest the energy and the time to do this and to rally the public behind the idea.

I don’t think there’ll be a lack of parental support. I’d bet that the first school created would be swamped with applications – from the city and from the suburbs. Great Schools has conducted four focus-group discussions with city parents, and not surprisingly, those parents were hungry for options. I think there’s a similar hunger among many suburban families for schools with more diverse student bodies, as long as they’re sure that their children will get a high-quality education.

The Great Schools leaders stress that they’re not “going to war” against the Rochester school district or charter schools.

They’re acting on their conviction – and on research findings – that high-poverty schools rarely succeed, and integrated schools do.

They’re also acting on their conviction that, as their plan puts it, the city and county “are interdependent,” and that “the county cannot be economically and socially healthy without the city, as its core, also being economically and socially healthy.”

And that the city can’t be healthy if its children are failing in school.

They also think the time is right to push for these schools. The community is well aware of the school district’s problems, and the Rochester-Monroe Anti-Poverty Initiative has the community discussing the poverty that is linked to the schools’ poor performance.

Great Schools is going public with its proposal softly, posting its plan on its website – www.gs4a.org – this week. It’s in the midst of a telephone survey, gathering information about the public’s interest in schools like this. Its members are talking with community and education leaders in the city and suburbs. A consultant is researching the legislative changes their proposal would require. They’re planning a social-media campaign. And in June, they’ll hold a public meeting to discuss their idea.

“We have no choice but to move forward,” says Pryor. For decades, the school district has tried to solve the problem on its own. “It’s absolutely clear that all these well-meaning efforts aren’t working.” Nothing, Pryor says, has helped the district get its graduation rate above 50 percent, and we’ve created “generation after generation of kids who are consigned to the scrap heap.”

That has to stop, and Great Schools doesn’t see a better solution than this.

Neither do I.

Dining

CoreLife Eatery, which started in Syracuse and recently expanded to Webster, focuses on simple, clean eating. The menu gives options to build your own plate, or choose from a selection of the restaurant's creations, like the (left) southwest grilled chicken and rice blend.

Getting to the core [ CHOW HOUND ] BY KATIE LIBBY

If you’re trying to follow a special diet, whether it’s Paleo, Weight Watchers, macrobiotic, microbiotic, symbiotic (okay, the last two aren’t real diet plans) going out to eat is a challenge. When ordering you might as well just say, “Can you strip this entrée of anything that gives it flavor?” The partners at CoreLife Eatery (927 Holt Road, Webster) wanted to make it easier for people needing a meal away from home to find fresh, healthy, appealing food.

John Caveny, Larry Wilson, and Todd Mansfield opened the first CoreLife Eatery in Syracuse last May after the three noticed there really weren’t a lot of healthy choices in the fast-casual restaurant scene. “Even if you were trying to eat healthy by ordering a salad,” Caveny says, “the restaurant would offer chips or a cookie or soda on the side.”

The concept at CoreLife Eatery is simply clean eating: no processed foods, and

everything made fresh daily, from the bone broths to the salad dressings. “We’re making food that tastes the way that it’s supposed to,” Caveny says. The bone broths are made with grass-fed beef and antibiotic-free chicken, utilizing the natural flavors and capturing the nutrients that, according to Caveny, just make you feel better.

The menu is broken down into three categories: bone broths, grains, and greens.

Patrons order assembly-line style and choose from one of the restaurant’s own creations, like the Sriracha Ginger Tofu and ancient grains bowl, or you can build your own with four ingredients for $5.95. “We’ve got vegans sitting next to someone doing the Paleo diet, sitting next to someone that came just because they wanted steak,” Caveny says.

CoreLife Eatery is located at 927 Holt Road in Webster, and is open every day from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. 667-0001; eatatcore.com. CoreLife expects to open a Greece location in June.

CITY 9

Rustix RRedux Red Darlings of blue-eyed soul, The Rustix, reunite for Rochester Music Hall of Fame induction [ MUSIC FEATURE ] BY FRANK DE BLASE

It

was early in January and David Colon was at home minding his own business when the phone rang. It was Karl LaPorta from the Rochester Music Hall of Fame calling to say that The Rustix, a band Colon drummed with years ago, was going to be inducted into the organization’s 2016 class. The band was a Rochester-based blue-eyed soul group that tore up the scene from 1966 to 1972. Colon was surprised, to say the least; it had been 50 years since the band had started, finished, and left its mark on the area.

When Rustix singer Chuck Brucato got word, he was surprised, although he had heard rumblings but nothing solid from the Hall of Fame until now. “They’d been mentioning it for a couple of years,” Brucato says. “But again, it was a surprise and a real honor.”

The Rustix —Brucato; Colon; bassist Ron Collins; guitarist Bob D’Andrea; George Cocchino, who replaced D’andrea on guitar; Vinnie Strenk on keys; and vocalist Al Galich — recorded two albums and a handful of singles in its brief lifespan, and hasn’t played together since a reunion show in 1979. The band is planning on performing at the induction ceremonies and has been hard at work polishing its chops. After all, Brucato doesn’t want The Rustix to sound rusty.

“We’ve got five rehearsals behind us,” he says.

“And we’ll probably have five more.”

“And just individually practicing every day,” Colon adds in. “Just trying to get our bodies back in shape like they were in the 70’s.”

Original band members D’Andrea and 10 CITY APRIL 20-26, 2016

Galich have passed away, and Collins couldn’t make it to this interview, so three of the surviving Rustix sat down to discuss the band’s history, its impact on the local scene, and point fingers at who’s to blame: They unanimously singled out Brucato.

“Well it is my fault,” he says. Galich and Brucato met while stationed with the Army in Carlsberg, Germany. “We sang all the time; joined the All-Army contest, and went all the way to the finals.”

When the two got back from duty, they picked up again with the singing. It was strictly for grins.

“We started out with four singers,” he says.

“And we did it as a hobby three nights a week.

We just loved it. Some guys like bowling; we did this.”

One night after a rehearsal, the guys were having

a few beers at a nearby saloon when fate walked in with money burning a hole in its pocket.

“We were singing in the booth, and out of nowhere, this guy comes up,” Brucato says. “‘You guys sound pretty good,’ he said. ‘I just opened up a club in Ontario. Why don’t you come down and play there?’”

“We don’t have a band or any equipment,” “Well, how much is the equipment?”

“I don’t know; maybe 200 bucks.”

“He slapped down $200 and said, ‘I’ll see you in 2 weeks,’ and walked out. I looked at the guys and said, ‘You wanna do this?’”

Thumbs went up all around the booth. “We had more guts than brains,” Brucato says.

The Rustix, pictured here in a photo from the late-60's, was the first band of white musicians signed to Motown. PROVIDED PHOTO

The guys pieced together a Rube Goldberg PA out of speakers they found in Brucato’s parents’ basement, a 50-watt amplifier, and two cheap mics. The Rustix was born.

“We were just happy” to be at our first show, Brucato says. “I don’t know if the people liked it, but we did. It was just for kicks, for fun. We all had jobs.”

The Rustix sound was coming together into harmony-rich rock ‘n’ roll.

“We had two singers,” Brucato says. “Al and I were the two front men, and we had a kind of Righteous Brothers, Rascals-type of sound.

And Ronnie Collins and Bob D’Andrea had

higher voices, so we really had a good harmony thing going.”

The band was building a following, and kept

graduating to bigger clubs to accommodate the ever-growing number of fans. Eventually The Rustix wound up at the Varsity Club on Scottsville Road where they played afternoons while The Invictas played nights. This is where and when Colon officially joined the band. He was drumming in The Invictas when the Rustix drummer at the time, Bobby Blandino, left the band. Brucato approached Colon with the gig.

Rochester Music Hall of Fame 2016 induction ceremony SUNDAY, APRIL 24 KODAK HALL AT EASTMAN THEATRE, 60 GIBBS STREET 7 P.M. | $35-$60 | 454-2100; EASTMANTHEATRE.ORG; ROCHESTERMUSIC.ORG

They’re heaping even more on to the already

impressive list of notable Rochester music royalty with the 5th annual Rochester Music Hall of Fame induction ceremony. This year’s honorees are: Pee Wee Ellis — Saxophonist and bandleader for James Brown, and worked with Van Morrison.

Howard Hanson — Pulitzer Prize-winning composer and former director of the Eastman School of Music. Interesting fact: His Symphony No. 2, “Romantic,” was featured during the closing credits to the movie “Alien.”

Joe Locke — Easily the best vibraphonist living today.

James Rado — Grammy Award-winning creator of the musical “Hair.”

The Rustix — Rochester’s kings of blue-eyed soul.

Wendy O. Williams — Controversial punk rock queen who fronted The Plasmatics with a chainsaw.

Drummer David Colon's solos frequently left the stage and continued into the crowd, where he would drum on the floor, the ceiling, and even fans' drinks. PROVIDED PHOTO

“I went for it,” Colon says. “They were playing more sophisticated music, which is what I wanted to do. That final lineup stayed together for five years.”

The Rustix recorded six singles, starting in 1966 with the cut “Leaving Here” b/w “When I Get Home” on Cadet Records, a spin-off label of Chess Records in Chicago, and two albums: “Bedlam” (1969), which reached the Billboard Top 100, and “Come On People” (1970) on Rare Earth Records, a subsidiary of Motown Records.

“Recording at Motown Records at the height of its popularity was really quite an experience,” Brucato says. “I got to watch Stevie Wonder record, Gladys Knight, Marvin Gaye…”

And though the band did original tunes, it was the covers that got the Rustix deluxe treatment.

“We got a kick out of doing covers our own way,” Brucato says. Like the band’s bongo-crazy, funk-infused, Latin twist on Otis Redding’s “Hard To Handle.”

Meanwhile, back on the home front, the band had moved to performing at Brighton Bowl, but was quickly outgrowing it. The Rustix routinely drew 4,000 fans.

The band packed Brighton Bowl “so much that the owner, Dave Goldman, built another club, Club 45 on Gould Street, just to accommodate the crowd,” Brucato says.

Colon’s drum solos were off the charts, and off the stage when he would go out into the crowd and drum on everything: the floor, the ceiling, even people’s drinks.

Not everyone was happy, though. Club 45’s success was met with a couple of bomb scares — from what the band figures were rival club owners.

“We packed that place every weekend,” Colon says. “With lines going out the door. It was a wonderful time.”

Beside these hometown get-downs with local sensations — like The Show Stoppers, The Brass Buttons, The Invictas, and Wilmer

and the Dukes — and shows in and around the tri-state area, these hometown heroes warmed the boards for some heavy hitters. The Rustix opened for artists like Grand Funk Railroad, Mountain, The Four Tops, and Jimi Hendrix.

That Hendrix show was on the night he was none too pleased with the Rochester crowd.

He reportedly flipped everyone the bird and slinked off stage.

Brucato still isn’t sure what transpired. “I don’t know what happened there,” he says.

“Next thing I know, he walked off. He didn’t look too happy, and just left.”

“But he was really a kind guy,” Colon says. “He sat and talked with us. We were amazed by him.”

By 1972, musical tastes were shifting. The Rustix recorded a third album that was never released. Colon left the band to get his art degree, leaving the band to soldier on. But it was clear to Brucato.

“I guess it just went as far as it could,” he says. “There’s a certain magic with a group of people, and when some leave, it loses that magic. And we were getting to the age that if we hadn’t made it by then it was time to go on to other things.”

Post-Rustix, Strenk became an electrician; Colon went on to teach art at Boston College; Galich went into construction in Mobile, Alabama; Chuck Brucato has a national and regional jingle business; George Cocchini went into Christian rock; and Ron Collins went to work at Piehler Pontiac.

“I wish the band would have kept going after 1972,” Colon says. I think we could have had bigger success. I think we could have made the big time. We were on our way. It just didn’t happen, and I wish it did.”

But life happens. And The Rustix happened. The band’s fans haven’t forgotten.

That’s something that Colon cherishes. “I’m amazed when people come up to me today and say, ‘That was the best time of our lives.”’

Along with performances from the Hall of Fame house band, Prime Time Funk, the ceremony will feature performances honoring each inductee: Pee Wee Ellis will perform with Christian McBride, Maceo Parker, and Fred Wesley for a set of tunes Ellis performed with James Brown.

A string ensemble of Eastman School of Music students will perform the music of Howard Hanson.

Joe Locke will perform two songs from his repertoire with Prime Time Funk and jazz vocalist Tess Souter The Cowsills, joined by original “Hair” cast members Ula Hedwig and Peppy Castro, and Florence LaRue of 5th Dimension, will perform James Rado’s music from “Hair.”

Surviving members of The Rustix will perform the blue-eyed soul that made them a huge draw in Rochester in the late-60’s and early-70’s.

Plasmatics lead guitarist Wes Beech, and Cherie Currie, former lead singer of The Runaways, will lead a tribute performance to Wendy O. Williams.

The Rustix used four-part harmony to create a unique take on blue-eyed soul.

City also spoke with Wes Beech, former lead guitarist of The Plasmatics, and Rod Swenson, the punk band's co-founder who rarely talks about its history. A performance led by Beech and Runaways lead singer Cheri Curry will pay tribute to Wendy O. Williams at Sunday's induction ceremony.

Markus Reuter coaxes a veritable symphony out of the touch-style guitar he designed himself. And Pat Mastelotto has expanded his percussion repertoire to encompass a wide array of loops and samples.

Levin and Mastelotto serve as the rhythm section of the legendary progressive rock group King Crimson, and Reuter studied with Crimson founder Robert Fripp, so it’s no surprise that together this power trio creates some of the most otherworldly music on the planet. — BY RON NETSKY

[ ALBUM REVIEW ]

Composer John Musto Residency. Nazareth College,

The Cage Kings “At War With The Night” Self-released facebook.com/thecagekings

What separated the heavy rockers from those that were too heavy in the late 1990’s was an adherence to discernibility — things you could actually comprehend, you dig? It was a cleaner, more concise sound that emerged from the grunge that emerged from the hair metal that emerged from whatever you want to use to label the 1980’s sound.

That didn’t mean that these groups had to shed the darkness or the message, nor did it mean the instrumentation — in particular the requisite heavy guitars — had to take a back seat to the re-emerging melody, and yes, even harmony. Bands like Alice in Chains pulled this off without any apparent sacrifice, and so does The Cage Kings on its new 12-song hunka hunka burnin’ rock, “At War With The Night.”

Even on the downturned passages during the album’s varied chapters, each song is a study in deadly dynamics and defiance. The title track is a good example of this, and so is “Nailed to the Sun,” which kicks off mellow with some pretty guitar work before taking a 180 into what could be another song entirely.

The vocals, overall, are urgent with a genuine ache and concern but virtually no drama. Nobody is screaming here to be heard. Recorded by Senor Sebastian Sanchez at Rochester’s Acme Studios, this is quite an impressive album for a band recently formed in 2014. The overall mood of “At War With The Night” is minor and dark, and the storied songs don’t make any attempt to lighten it up at all … and in this case, that’s a good thing. I’m betting this should be a thing of beauty to catch live. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

ROCK | CELLO FURY

BLUES | JANE LEE HOOKER

Utilizing a cellos-and-drums instrumentation, the Pittsburgh-based quartet Cello Fury combines classical virtuosity with head-bangin’ rhythms and the kind of relentless energy you expect from your favorite metal bands.

Boasting original compositions from its two albums, 2011 self-titled debut and 2013’s “Symphony of Shadows,” Cello Fury’s sound is both brawny and brooding. The band — cellists Simon Cummings, Ben Muñoz, and Nicole Myers, and drummer David Throckmorton — will also be playing multiple “Outreach Concerts” at several local schools on Thursday and Friday, under the auspices of Young Audiences of Rochester.

They call it the blues, but it ain’t. New York City’s Jane Lee Hooker is a rockin’ bar band that comes out of the gate already blasting at 11, but it might be too vanilla to be the blues. When the band leans into the rock side of things, though, it sounds more sincere and frankly, pretty goddamn alright. You don’t have to be old, black, and dead to be authentic, but you’ve just got to be careful you don’t come off as a pastiche. It will be fun either way.

Cello Fury will perform on Thursday, April 21, at Abilene Bar & Lounge, 153 Liberty Pole Way. 8 p.m. $8-$10. abilenebarandlounge.com; cellofury.com.

METAL | AMON AMARTH

At the intersection of death metal, grandiose songwriting, and Norse warfare and Viking mythology is Sweden’s Amon Amarth. If anything, the name — meaning “Mount Doom” in one of the fictional languages used in J.R.R. Tolkien’s canon — should tell you where the band is coming from thematically. The brutal riffs, precise chugging drums, and the deep, dark growls of front man Johan Hegg have made Amon Amarth an unmoving pillar in metal for more than 20 years. The band’s latest release, “Jomsviking,” is its first concept album — “The first man I killed was the earl’s right-hand man” is the album’s first line, so you know it’s not a happy story — and just came out in March.

Amon Amarth will perform with Entombed A.D. and Exmortus on Monday, April 25, at Water Street Music Hall, 204 North Water Street. 6:30 p.m. $25-$30. ticketfly.com; amonamarth.com. — JAKE CLAPP

“Elie’s Tune” is part of an exhibit of work by photocomposer Ryszard Horowitz at RIT’s University Gallery through May 26. PHOTO PROVIDED

Burn the boundaries “Ryszard Horowitz: Photocomposer” THROUGH THURSDAY, MAY 26 ROCHESTER INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY’S UNIVERSITY GALLERY, JAMES E. BOOTH HALL, ROOM 2765, 166 LOMB MEMORIAL DRIVE MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, 9 A.M. TO 5 P.M.; SATURDAY, 10 A.M. TO 2 P.M. FREE | 475-2866; RIT.EDU/FA/GALLERY/ [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Polish artist Ryszard Horowitz was creating visions of fantastical realities through photography since before the age of Photoshop.

He is recognized as a pioneer of special effects photography who developed boundarystretching analog techniques and was early to incorporate digital technology into his work.

An exhibition of Horowitz’s images currently fills RIT’s University Gallery, and showcases a wide selection of his surreal, seamless analog and digital compositions throughout the decades of his career in commercial and fine art.

18 CITY APRIL 20-26, 2016

Horowitz is also among the youngest known survivors of Auschwitz — he was 5 years old when the Russian Army liberated the camp. His story was portrayed by a child actor in Steven Spielberg’s “Schindler’s List,” and he appears as himself later in the film.

This personal history is represented in Horowitz’s 2008 digital composition “Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.” In this image — which was used in 2013 as a poster in commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the uprising — twin infernos churn sideby-side in pitch darkness. These fires each contain an emotional eye, and within each eye is a picture of Horowitz as a little boy.

But the child who emerged from this horrific past has since constructed a bright, creative life for himself, and reveals vibrant visions of possibility to others through his manipulation of images.

Horowitz developed and refined a variety of approaches to create his analog composites in the 1970’s, ranging from multiple exposures in the camera, to working with special masks in the darkroom to superimpose images on one another.

“It’s very much like in Photoshop, where you use layers, you place one on top of the other and mask them off,” he says. “But I designed special contraptions to do it.”

In his 1986 analog composite “Park Avenue,” New York City streets are literally made of cheese. Horowitz has paved the lanes with dollar bills that stretch beneath the hard glitter of 1980’s architecture.

In the mid-80’s, Horowitz was connected with some of the early-adopters of digital technology. After receiving a tip about a young man in Hamburg who had a computer capable of assembling photographic elements, Horowitz packed some film and sketches, flew to Hamburg, and worked with the fellow for a few days.

“This was like a revelation,” Horowitz says.

But when he excitedly returned to the US to show the work to his colleagues and clients, the new processes didn’t immediately take. “I was sneered and laughed at for quite some time,” he says.

“Luckily, I didn’t listen to them.”

Horowitz in the mid 1990’s connected with Bob Greenberg in New York, who had

a successful special effects film company, and who used analog masking techniques similar to what Horowitz used in print.

Greenberg had access to a lot of prototypes of computers to play with, and was interested in Horowitz’s work and ideas.

Because of his efforts to break through analog’s limitations, Horowitz says, it was easy for him to comprehend the technical aspect of digital manipulations.

And with computers, Horowitz found he had an easier time achieving certain aims, such as separating flowing hair from one background and placing it onto another, or creating smooth transitions from black and white images to color.

A seamless example of this latter effect is presented in “Birds,” a 1991 digital composite, which is the first image he created with the help of Greenberg. In this piece, a white dove seems to travel from a grayscale, watery world, through a conical and reflective wormhole, into a prismatic world that exists on the same plane.

But Horowitz isn’t interested in merely showing off a well-executed effect; his pictures are immersive worlds that inspire and allude to some greater meaning.

The vision in “Birds” seems to indicate what might be — what is around us but invisible until a new avenue is tried.

There are also many recurring themes in Horowitz’s oeuvre, including birds and musical elements. Where birds aren’t flying free or tugging at the fabric of a landscape, they’re layered over beautiful women. And Horowitz’s love of music is reflected in such pictures as the 1999 analog sandwich, “Elie’s Tune,” which features a man tightrope walking along the strings of a violin, holding a bow as a balance beam.

“I’m interested in capturing objects in motion, something that the human eye finds hard to do,” he says. “So birds were natural to me, or a splash of water that can be frozen with the camera. Birds also are beautiful in form, and have a lot of symbolism as well.”

Horowitz says that to him, composing photographic images is much like composing music, “like blending sounds into a full harmony.” He stitches together images from different parts of the world and different circumstances, drawn from his own archive of images. “I’ve traveled all over the world, I’ve had a lot of exciting assignments, and I have thousands of outtakes that become very useful,” he says.

OPERA | “BASTIANELLO”

Last month, Rochester welcomed composer Steve Reich.

This week, composer-pianist John Musto comes to town as part of a five-day residency co-hosted by Nazareth College and Rochester Lyric Opera. In a visit that includes a composer’s forum on Thursday, April 21, at 4 p.m. on the Nazareth campus (free and open to the public), the residency culminates in the staging of Musto’s opera “Bastianello” on Saturday, April 23, at The Lyric Theatre. With an Englishlanguage libretto by Mark Campbell, this one-act comic opera tells the story of 18th-century newlyweds Amadora and Luciano — performed by mezzo-soprano Katie Hannigan and bass Zachary James, respectively. The groom jaunts off on his wedding night only to find six people as silly and unwise as his wife and in-laws. The production is stage directed by J.J. Hudson, and Jared Chase will conduct.

“Bastianello” will be performed on Saturday, April 23, at The Lyric Theatre, 440 East Avenue. 7:30 p.m. $5-$20.

SPECIAL EVENT | ROC CITY TATTOO EXPO

DANCE | “ORIGIN”

This weekend, LoveHate Tattoo will present the 8th Annual International Roc City Tattoo Expo at the downtown Holiday Inn (formerly the Crown Plaza) at 70 State Street. The show features more than 200 artists in the “skin trade” from all over the US, Canada, Europe, and Japan, showcasing a variety of techniques and styles. Visitors have the chance to meet and be tattooed by some of the world’s best artists, without the hassle of international travel. And if you love the styles of tattoo art, but aren’t ready to commit to something permanent, many of that artists will also be selling their artwork (for your walls).

The Nazareth Spring Dance Concert, “Origin,” will offer two evenings of fresh dances by professional and student choreographers at Nazareth College Arts Center’s Callahan Theater (4245 East Avenue). The show will highlight new works by guest choreographers Eran Hanlon and Mariko Yamada; repertory by Sarah Coolidge; new faculty works by Allison Bohman, Paige Cummings, and Heather Roffe; and will include four new works by student choreographers Ged Owen, Meghan Palmer and Anastasia Pembroke, Olivia Bauso, and Demitri Payne.

The expo takes place Friday, April 22, 1 to 11 p.m.; Saturday, April 23, 12 p.m. to 11 p.m.; and Sunday, April 24, 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. Admission is $10 per day or $25 for a weekend pass.

If you plan to get some new ink at the show, be sure to bring along a valid state or federal issued photo ID. To guarantee an appointment with a specific artist during the convention, it’s recommended emailing them ahead of time in order to secure a particular day and time. You must be 18 years of age to be tattooed. For more information, email roccitytattooexpo@live. com or check out roccitytattooexpo.com.

Roffe’s piece was commissioned by NYC composer Jane Antonia Cornish, whose work “Continuum” will be performed Nazareth and Eastman musicians. The costumes used in Owen’s work are the product of collaborative design between Nazareth art students and theatre students, and Hanlon’s work will blend dance with the theatrical and spoken word.

Bohman’s new dance, “charcoal, graphite & ink on paper,” is inspired by visual artist Robert Longo’s “Men in Cities” series, life-size drawings of sharply dressed men and women whose bodies are contorted reflections of emotion.

Performances of “Origin” will take place Friday, April 22, and Saturday, April 23, at 7:30 p.m. each night. Tickets are $10 for adults; $5 for children and faculty; and free to Nazareth students.

340-7456; FASTFORWARDROC.ORG [ PREVIEW ] BY DANIEL J. KUSHNER

The Fast Forward Film Festival is back for a second year of locally made, five-minutes-orless films about the environment. And like its inaugural season, the festival is a juried competition with films chosen from open submissions, rather than a traditional curated festival selected without community input.

This year’s festival called upon the expertise of an advisory council of prominent film and environment specialists. In response to feedback from the community, the council recommended cutting the number of award categories to just two: an adult category and a new youth category for filmmakers 17 years old and under. And there will still be the Audience Choice Award.

Initiated by Executive Director Andrew Stern, the Fast Forward Film Festival will be “showcasing new environmental perspectives” as part of Earth Week 2016, with the complete film screenings at the Little Theatre on Thursday, April 21. A festival gala — including a reception, selected screenings, and awards ceremony — will be at the George Eastman Museum on Saturday, April 23.

The adult category program includes 10 films, and the youth category contains six.

Below are six films that represent the breadth and depth of issues that are being covered at the 2016 Fast Forward Film Festival.

INTRODUCING

The claymation short “Bugged,” created by Ben Doran and Miranda Sider, will be screened as part of the Fast Forward Film Festival. PHOTO PROVIDED

thoughtful examines the complicated factors that must be weighed by consumers when deciding

whether or not to buy organic produce. Filmmaker Asha Hotaling, a 7th grader at The Harley School, succinctly addresses the pitfalls of pesticides, carbon footprint concerns when purchasing out-of-state products, and why it is so cost-prohibitive for local farmers to grow organically. “Apples” doesn’t simply present the problems. It also offers realistic solutions for conscientious consumers, pointing to specific organic apple orchards in New York State.

“Organically Fashioned” is an autobiographical documentary about 15-year old Brighton High School student Sofie Cerankosky. She also happens to be a prodigious fashion designer who has already done important work exploring fashion’s ability to promote sustainability through the creative use of recyclable materials. A change of pace, the film demonstrates how one emergent local artist is promoting environmental consciousness through her work.

“The Paris Climate Change Agreement: An Education” tackles arguably the single most important security issue — let alone environmental issue — that we face. That the film deals with the topic of “global warming” with a clever combination of substance and humor is a credit to its creator, Jack Aman. In a detailed analysis of the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris, Aman uses a sense of urgency and a winning comedic delivery to explain whether or not the agreement made by participating countries will in fact help to alleviate the impact of an impending climate change epidemic.

Shifting gears “Miles Ahead” (R), DIRECTED BY DON CHEADLE OPENS FRIDAY, APRIL 22 [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

bugs so much that she goes to great lengths in order to protect them from destruction. This whimsical, light-hearted fiction by Ben Doran and Miranda Sider doubles as an insightful reminder about the indispensable role insects play in humanity’s well-being and the very real dangers that pesticides pose to people and bugs alike. This is Doran’s second official selection for Fast Forward.

Jim and Diane Downer’s “Compost” is a brilliant synthesis of sights and sounds. Rather than utilize a narrative form, this entirely wordless film is effectively a music video in which leaves, plants, fruit, flowers, and insects spin and dance across the screen to the sound of a playful, off-kilter take on “The Peanuts” theme song and snippets of a jazzy version of “Flight of the Bumblebee.” With musical accompaniment by David Shaw and John Nyerges, “Compost” is an abundantly creative film that is sure to make you smile.

Filmmaker Alex Freeman’s “Seedfolk City Farms” highlights the Seedfolk program’s director, Lisa Barker, and her mission to combat the harmful consequences of food deserts in Rochester by teaching and empowering young people to grow and prepare food on urban farms.

In the process, student leaders are “cultivated” and their connection to the community is fostered. The short is beautifully shot, expertly paced, and its theme of environment-aseducation is as relevant as ever. Plus, Overhand Sam Snyder provides original music.

City Newspaper film critic Adam Lubitow was on the 2016 Fast Forward Film Festival jury. He did not participate in the initiation or execution of this article.

It’s been only a matter of weeks since the release of “I Saw the Light,” a film that once again demonstrated the creaky limitations of the biopic template, and we’ve already got another tale of tortured musical genius on our hands with “Miles Ahead.” In the film, Don Cheadle creates a fascinating, if not wholly successful biopic of jazz legend Miles Davis.

A passion project for Cheadle, the actor directs, produces, co-writes (with Steven Baigelman, who received a story credit for another rule-breaking biopic, “Get on Up”) and stars in the film. Thankfully, with his first feature as director, Cheadle does everything he can to buck the pattern of the stale biopics that came before, and creates a free-form narrative which feels true to the spirit of both the man and his music.

Jumping around in chronology, “Miles Ahead” splits its time between two major periods in Davis’s life. The first picks up in 1979, when he begins making new music after a long, self-imposed hiatus. He’s a drug-addled hermit when a Rolling Stone

Don Cheadle in “Miles Ahead.”

PHOTO COURTESY SONY PICTURES CLASSICS

journalist, Dave Braden (Ewan McGregor), knocks on his door. Eager to capture Davis’s comeback story, the writer plies him with cocaine when the musician proves resistant to spilling his guts.

Early in the interview, Braden insists that he’s not interested in the standard subject of such profiles, asking Davis to skip over the usual anecdotes about drugs, women, and the source of his creativity.

Cheadle mostly adopts a similar attitude toward the material, taking his story in unexpected directions. It’s during this section that the film gradually morphs into a buddy crime caper, with the pair attempting to wrest Davis’s stolen session tapes from the clutches of the unscrupulous manager (an underutilized Michael Stuhlbarg) of an up-and-coming trumpeter (Lakeith Lee Stanfield). By the time the duo are getting into car chases and having shootouts with one of the manager’s hired guns, you start to wonder how exactly we got to that point.

The film’s other narrative takes place 20 years earlier, chronicling the musician’s tempestuous romance with Frances Taylor (the wonderful Emayatzy Corinealdi), the dancer who would eventually become his wife. While this section treads into more conventional territory, the performances help alleviate some of that sense of familiarity.

Cheadle is electric as Davis, slipping into the larger than life personality with a cool swagger that comes through even when he’s at his most desperate.

The actor gives a predictably strong, charismatic performance. Cheadle also demonstrates considerable talent behind the camera, but despite his best efforts, the genre gets the better of him; something about documenting creative genius seems to befuddle even the most talented of filmmakers.

The bifurcated structure ultimately doesn’t leave us with a complete portrait of the man. Admittedly, this may be because when faced with the prospect of turning in a traditional biopic, Cheadle instead opted to leapfrog over the clichés by simply inventing a more interesting story to cover; the majority of the storyline with Braden (including Braden himself) is entirely made up for the movie.

Just as the artist bristles when the journalist refers to the music he makes as “jazz” — Davis insists that the writer call it “social music” — so too does Cheadle work to avoid letting his film fall into those easily defined categories. He draws a clear influence from blaxploitation films of the 1970’s, and there’s more than a little “Super Fly” to those crime sequences. And while the details may not be accurate, it does make for a wildly entertaining ride, and honestly that counts for a lot.

In the end, “Miles Ahead” is all the more fascinating for its flaws, and Cheadle’s unconventional choices hint that he has instincts that could make for an interesting career behind the camera. He adds stylistic flourishes that give the film a propulsive, unpredictable energy that’s as bold and dynamic as Davis’s music, finding ways to cleverly transition between the timeframes, like when the back of an elevator pushes open to reveal itself as a doorway to the past, and one exhilarating sequence in which the two timelines suddenly bleed together at a boxing match.

Editors John Axelrad and Kayla Emter are key in creating the film’s jazzy, improvisatory feel. As a filmmaker, you can sense Cheadle’s passion for the material behind every frame, even when he sacrifices authenticity for sheer entertainment value. The film doesn’t quite come together, but when films like “I Saw the Light” are still being released, Cheadle deserves credit for taking a chance.

Light-Filled Listing on Linden 223 Linden Street 223 Linden Street, built in 1900, is among a number of architecturally significant homes in the Linden-South Historic District.

Located in the heart of the South Wedge, the neighborhood sidewalks take you past large front porches, Highland Park, Ellwanger Garden, School 12 and the commercial amenities of South Avenue. This 2,350 square foot house is wonderfully spacious with its five bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths. Approaching 223 Linden, you notice a lovely Palladian window in the roof peak, a first floor bay window and large porch.

Stepping through the main entrance and into the foyer, you notice an office on the right and gracious bright living room on the left. Directly ahead are lovely arched French doors through which you see an elegant staircase with white painted spindles and natural wood railing. The newel post is trimmed with egg and dart molding and looking up the stairs there is a cozy window seat at the landing.

The generous and bright living room has restored parquet floors and on the far wall is a fireplace (no longer functional) with builtin shelving on each side. The dining room with coffered ceiling and a bay window is an excellent area for both family and guest dining. This house has tall paneled doors and the one in the dining room has six small panes of glass at the top. There is a powder room on the way to the kitchen. The kitchen has a generous corner pantry, tile floor, and an island for working or eating. One door

from the kitchen opens to the back carpeted stairway leading to an upstairs hall. Another door leads to the basement. Typical of many homes of this era, there is an outside entrance door at the landing. This door opens to the blacktop driveway and detached garage. Laundry is in the basement.

The hallway at the top of the stairs is spacious with painted metal ceiling and molding and tall paneled doors. Behind these doors are four bedrooms—each with its own closet—and a tiled hallway bathroom. The fifth bedroom is really a master suite as it has its own private bathroom. There is a spacious walk up attic with plenty of room for storage.

223 Linden has central air, gas heat, and a tankless hot water heater. Because it is located in a National Register historic district, the lucky future owners of this beautiful home will be able to take advantage of the New York State Historic Homeowners Tax Credit program, which provides tax credits worth 20% of qualifying repairs and upgrades.

This spacious and gracious home is listed at $199,000 and the taxes are $5,556. To learn more about 223 Linden Street, please contact Rosalind Clancy of Hunt Real Estate ERA/Columbus at 585-785-2031.

FORECLOSURE OF TAX LIENS BY THE CITY OF ROCHESTER STATE OF NEW YORK SUPREME COURT COUNTY OF MONROE IN THE MATTER OF THE FORECLOSURE OF TAX LIENS PURSUANT TO TITLE 4 OF PART E OF ARTICLE IX OF THE CHARTER OF THE CITY OF ROCHESTER.

LIST OF DELINQUENT TAXES AS OF JULY 1, 2015 PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on April 13, 2016, the Corporation Counsel of the City of Rochester filed in the office of the Monroe County Clerk a list of parcels of property on which the City of Rochester holds a lien for taxes, assessments, fees or other charges which is at least one year old and which the City of Rochester intends to foreclose by an action in rem pursuant to Title 4 of Part E of Article IX of the Charter of the City of Rochester. A copy of that list was published on April 13, 2016.

The foreclosure list contains as to each such parcel: 1. The tax account number and address; 2. The name of the last known owner; 3. The amount of each tax lien, except for a $175.00 charge which has been added to each tax lien pursuant to Section 9-123(A)(3)of the City Charter but which is not reflected on the printed list.

All persons having an interest in the real property described in the foreclosure list are hereby notified that the filing of the list constitutes the commencement by the City of Rochester of an action in the Supreme Court, Monroe County, to foreclose the tax liens therein described by an action in rem and that the list constitutes a notice of pendency of action and a complaint by the City of Rochester against each parcel of land therein described to enforce the satisfaction of such tax liens. This action is brought against the real property only. No personal judgment will be entered in this action for the delinquent taxes, assessments, fees or other charges.

A copy of the foreclosure list has been filed in the office of the City Treasurer and will remain open for public inspection up to and including September 30, 2016, which is the redemption deadline date.

Any person may on or before that date redeem any parcel on the foreclosure list by paying to the City Treasurer the amount of all delinquent taxes, assessments, fees and other charges stated on the foreclosure list, plus the $175.00 charge referred to above, plus accrued interest and late payment charges.

Any person having any interest in any parcel on the foreclosure list may, at any time up to the redemption deadline date, serve a verified notice of interest or an answer upon the Corporation Counsel setting forth in detail the nature and amount of his interest or any defense or objection to the foreclosure. The notice of interest or answer must also be filed in the office of the Monroe County Clerk. Where a valid notice of interest is served, the parcel will be held for a foreclosure auction pursuant to Section 9-143 of the City Charter.

Any person who fails to redeem or to serve a notice of interest or an answer by the redemption deadline date shall be barred thereafter from asserting his interest in the pending foreclosure action, and judgment in foreclosure may be granted without regard for, and in extinguishment of, the interest of any such person.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD

Government in Action

— The Pentagon admitted recently that it has no way to know how many parts or devices are in its equipment inventory — except by going through its estimated 30 million contracts (on the text-unsearchable electronic database) one by one. For a recent Freedom of Information request from a software developer (for the Pentagon’s number of “HotPlug” power-extenders for computers), it quoted a retrieval price of $660 million to cover 15 million hours of work.

— Wait, What? (1) The most recent problem with the Defense Department’s prospective, ultra-modern F-35 fighter jet, revealed in March, is that its “radar control” sometimes malfunctions and that system updates will not be ready until 2020. In the interim, an Air Force official advised that, as a workaround, the radar could be turned off and then back on again (similar to restarting a glitchy computer). (2) Michael Ford, 36, a US Embassy staff member in London, was sentenced in March to 57 months in prison for having run a “sextortion” email scheme preying on young girls — from his heavily monitored embassy computer workstation, operating undetected for two years. (One workday last April, for example, he sent 800 emails from his desk “phishing” for gullible social media users.)

Police Report

Ms. Charli Jones Parker, a teacher and girls’ basketball coach at the Pickens Academy (Pickens County, Alabama) was arrested on March 28 and charged with having sex with an underage male student. Her husband, James Parker, a math teacher and coach at Pickens,

was arrested two days later and charged with having sex with an underage female former student. The district attorney said the incidents were unrelated and resulted from separate investigations.

Leading Economic Indicators

— Inequality on Parade: (1) The city council in Palo Alto, California, trying to retain some of its Silicon Valley non-millionaires, proposed a subsidy plan in March to help with steep housing costs. In a town where tiny homes sell for $2 million (and are immediately knocked down and rebuilt), subsidies will be available even to families earning $250,000 a year. (2) In February, a family court in England reduced the child-support payments from hedge fund financier Christopher Rokos to the mother of his 7-year-old son from the equivalent of about $17,000 a month to about $11,300 — though that amount includes more than $1,200 a month for “wine” (perhaps, in case the kid is a handful).

— The giant HSBC Bank, which was let off the hook in 2012 for its money-laundering by paying a $1.9 billion settlement and promising to vigilantly guard against future money laundering, was revealed in March to be regressing.

HSBC’s monitor said that the bank somehow failed to stop transactions by a company whose professed business included exporting miniskirts to Iran (which would be against international sanctions but also not exactly smart business). In another incident, a 19-year-old Mexican man in the drug-cartel-intensive Sinaloa state was allowed to open a private-wealth account with just a bagful of cash, claiming to be a “shrimp farmer.”

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 30 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your high-spirited persona will capture attention this week. Express your feelings openly and let your emotions lead to a passionate encounter with someone who has the qualities you are looking for in a partner. A lover offering equality will touch you mentally, spiritually and physically.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Keep an open mind, but don’t get suckered into a relationship with someone planning to leave his so-called ex. A chance meeting with someone who loves the same things as you will steel your heart and offer you the complete package, not just a secret affair.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A little flirting will go a long way.

Love at first sight is likely to knock you off your feet, but watch for any sign of jealousy, possessiveness or indulgence.

The perfect partner is the one offering stability, manners and a life plan that includes love and marriage.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’ll be attracted to the most unusual type of partner this week. Fascinated as you might be, caution is best kept in place.

Moving too quickly will end in regret. Take your time and build a solid friendship before you let someone harboring different beliefs and values into your life.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t let anyone criticize or put you down.

Look for the perfect mate who is willing to stand by your side and fight your battles with you. Love is in the stars, and a physically active lifestyle will result in meeting the right partner.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you don’t get out and mingle, you won’t make a connection. Attend a reunion or reconnect with someone you have an interest in but the timing was wrong in the past. A short trip will take you down memory lane with someone you enjoy being with.

Live, love and laugh.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Opt not to go out with people you

work with or someone who is already attached to someone else.

Consider attending a singles’ event or taking a trip geared toward meeting prospective partners. A structured setting will be more conducive to finding the best partner for you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Get out and involved in community events or check out a club that offers all the amenities that you enjoy, and you will encounter someone who you’d be unlikely to meet anywhere else. Open up and share your dreams, and you’ll discover someone heading in the same direction.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll set many hearts afire with

your bravado and charm. Get involved in activities that favor high energy and physical skill, and you will engage in a playful, competitive dance with someone looking for a partner just like you. Let the games begin.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll be a better conversationalist than party player. Show off your intelligence and how goal-oriented you are, but when it comes to choosing the right partner to stand by your side, don’t be stupid -- pick the one who can match your wit, not the one wrapped in the handsome package.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your changing mood and can’t-

sit-still attitude will make some people run in the opposite direction, making your choice easy. The person ready to roll with the punches and jump from one thing to another will be the one who is most apt to hold your interest.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): When it comes to partnerships, you’ll have plenty of opportunity, but recognizing someone’s interest or motives will not be so easy. Don’t be blinded by the compliments or innuendoes some makes.

Take a moment to consider the intentions behind the interest someone displays. Better to be safe than sorry.
