Our choices led us here

The first time I was of age to vote was during my undergraduate days in Ithaca. At that time, discussions in Democratic circles were to get behind whoever opposed Ronald Reagan because of the dire consequences of his gaining office.

That tired refrain, which was repeated in this paper’s column on Secretary Clinton (Urban Journal, August 3), has been pulled out election after election. I have heard the phrase “lesser of two evils” a thousand times.

Collectively, we ignored Dr. King’s warning to avoid becoming well-adjusted to a maladjusted society, and Dwight Eisenhower’s words about the consequences of an unchecked military-industrial complex.

The downstream consequences of choosing the lesser of two evils over decades now yields a Republican candidate enthusiastically endorsed by a Klan leader and a Democratic candidate who actively supports military intervention in places like Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, and elsewhere.

Clinton’s perspective and actions over the years enabled the murder of children, moms, dads, aunts, uncles, grandmas, and grandpas using our tax dollars for the simple crime of living in a country that for whatever reason was of political interest to the United States. Consequently, we become ever more insecure.

Our moral authority, purchased in part by tens of thousands of American lives in the first world wars, is smashed. Results also include trillions spent on wars, enormous unpaid federal debt, and an epidemic of daily suicides by veterans, among other grave consequences. We will have more of the same under Clinton’s leadership.

If we cannot find it within ourselves to move beyond the twoparty paradigm, then I suggest two new parties: those who believe that

the current political system works, and those who do not.

Organizing along those lines could be fruitful. In the meantime I will “waste my vote,” along with people like Dr. Cornel West, on a third party. Business as usual is over, friends, for better or for worse.

Trump could be GOP’s end

Mr. Trump is at it again, this time with a thinly-veiled reference to the Second Amendment crowd.

The candidate crossed yet another line, and didn’t care. You know, the more one listens to his shtick, his false bravado, his sociopathic rants, the more it’s clear that he really isn’t that intelligent; just an egocentric, spoiled, petulant, ignorant, vengeful narcissist. (Hey, #ManyPeopleAreSaying) I have always been intrigued by, entertained by, confused by, and amused by the world of politics.

Until this past year.

It’s difficult to fathom how a charlatan has ascended to the top of the GOP ticket. And even though a rabid base of homophobes, Islamophobes, white-malechauvinist racists, flat-earthers, and Bible-thumpers has always been part of the Republican Party, this year is different.

It appears that this is the last gasp of the GOP’s previously white majority. They are freaking out at all the changes that we the people have eked out over the last decades: civil rights, women’s rights, human rights, LGBT rights, voting rights, workers’ rights. They are livid, and want to make America great again.

All they’ve accomplished with Mr. Trump is the alarming capacity to make America hate again.

Throughout my politically aware life, there has always been a divide. And most of the time, a compromise was found. This changed, first with the election of Ronald Reagan, and then with the election of Barack Hussein Obama. How dare we elect a black man president? How dare the Democrats win two elections in a row?

The colorful and beautiful changing of our demographics left the GOP with gerrymandering, voter suppression, a nocompromise Congress, and now,

Donald Trump. Hey, GOP, be careful what you wish for.

Our electorate, especially in a general election, understands the need for statesmanship, intelligence, curiosity, allies and partners, treaties, and inclusiveness. Mr. Trump does not. His acolytes do not. And he may crash and burn his party.

That possibility excites me. This is going to be fun.

So I will watch with interest how the next 90 days unfold. And unless HRC is proven to be a member of ISIL, the decimation of the demagogue will be complete. The knuckle-draggers will be spanked, Bernie will be thanked, and the GOP will have tanked.

Nuanced nuclear

The public should be concerned about aging nuclear power plants that are “struggling” financially and operating with safety issues.

If our energy future must have nuclear power, that does not mean that we should keep aging, unsafe power plants going. These are two different issues.

Proponents of the need for nuclear power to address climate change should distinguish keeping aging nuclear power plants from new-generation nuclear (which can reuse spent nuclear materials) and small nuclear power operations (which can be built for less money and provide backup for renewable energy such as wind and solar).

It would be helpful to the public and our ability to plan for the future if our media investigated how safe aging nuclear power plants are when these local nuclear power plants are struggling financially and continually having safety issues.

And keep that issue separate from next-generation nuclear power.

FRANK J. REGAN

Sneaky Sanders

I hardly feel that Democrats owed Bernie Sanders unbiased support against a longtime party member who has held office. We do indeed live in a two-party system and the way to participate is to be a member of the party.

Bernie wanted to have it both ways, when it was the only way to achieve his objective.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

A modest little proposal for revitalizing downtown A good bit of attention is focused on downtown right now, which is great. Developers are pumping a lot of money into new housing. The city is planning improvements for Main Street. And there are dreamers: Rochester Broadway Theatre League’s Arnie Rothschild is dreaming of a performing arts center. Mayor Lovely Warren wants something that will increase both people and jobs. Some folks are dreaming of another big park. Others are dreaming of bringing in major retail stores (an increasingly quixotic dream, since nationally, some of those companies are in trouble).

So let me toss out my own dream – but first, let me make a suggestion: that we step back a minute and think about what downtown should be. Should it be simply the center of the city? Just another residential neighborhood, designed primarily for hip young professionals and affluent retirees? An entertainment center predominantly for city residents? An entertainment center for the region?

Several decades ago, we went through a pretty thorough, impressive process to think this through. Committees were formed. Public forums were held. Questionnaires were run in area newspapers, including this one.

The conclusion, after all that, was that downtown is important to the region, that the region needs a vibrant, multi-purpose core, serving and supported by people throughout the region, providing services and entertainment that our multiple individual small communities can’t provide on their own.

There was a lot of talk about the importance of the river, the importance of increasing public access along it (which the Warren administration is working on now).

The importance of protecting and using the river access we already have. (Some of the folks pushing for a new downtown park might want to dream up ideas for better use of our existing downtown riverside parks.)

Rochester’s downtown was declining when that big study was done, and it continued to decline afterwards, for reasons we all know. Many US cities have experienced the same thing. We’re exceptionally fortunate, in fact, that downtown is as healthy as it is. A lot of credit for that goes to neighborhood associations and other downtown activists, to cultural and educational institutions who have stayed downtown when they could have followed many of their patrons to the suburbs, and to a persistent group of downtown business people who have hung on or started up downtown, despite formidable odds.

Where a company has its corporate headquarters makes a statement about that company and how it views its community.”

And credit goes to a succession of city elected officials and staff, including current ones, who have believed fiercely in downtown and have been willing to direct money and subsidies to downtown interests, despite the city’s tight finances.

And now, of course, a lot of credit goes to the downtown developers who are renovating a variety of old buildings and turning them into housing and commercial space, despite minimal regional population growth.

That’s the kind of thing we need if downtown is to be a true regional core.

That, and a commitment by leaders in the region’s public and private sector to treat downtown’s health as vital to the health of every part of this diverse community.

Which brings me to my dream: convincing the area’s large companies to move their headquarters downtown.

We may not be the home of the major multinational players that we once were, but we do still have homegrown companies to be proud of: Wegmans and Paychex, for instance.

In Detroit, Quicken Loans’ chief Dan Gilbert has helped spur that city’s downtown revitalization by moving his company’s headquarters in from the suburbs, buying and renovating other buildings, and encouraging other companies to move downtown.

Nuclear plant changes hands

Ginna owner Exelon will buy the FitzPatrick plant in Oswego for $110 million, giving it ownership of all three nuclear power generators in Upstate New York. The plants are losing money, but Exelon officials say that state nuclear subsidies will make the plants viable.

Kodak reports profit

After several quarters in the red, Kodak reported that it made a profit at the end of the second quarter of 2016, which ended June 30. The company had net income of $8 million, which it says was $31 million better than a year ago.

The company’s revenues dropped 9 percent, but its operating expenses were down 14 percent.

Marina gets new operator

The Daniele family’s development company will take over operation of the Braddock Bay Marina, which is owned by the Town of Greece. The company plans to invest $1.5 million to rehab the marina’s docks and buildings.

A small convenience store and restaurant are also planned. Company and town officials are finalizing a 25-year agreement.

Another idea for Midtown

News

An as-yet-unnamed group has started the website www.thisisnotapark.com to push for turning a vacant parcel at the Midtown site downtown into a shared public space for festivals, retail, and other uses. It calls the space Rochester Visionary Square. The website says that the group will submit a proposal to the City of Rochester on September 9.

Is Funke green enough?

For the first time, Republican State Senator Rich Funke has won the endorsement of the New York League of Conservation Voters. The statewide environmental group says that Funke is a valuable ally in Albany, despite the fact that the senator is silent on climate change.

Housing Authority makes pick John Hill is the Rochester Housing Authority’s new executive director. He was previously executive director of the Southern Nevada Regional Housing Authority. Hill comes with baggage, though; the board of the SNRHA voted to end his contract more than two years early.

Money pays for Main Street swag

The Main Street Streetscape Project received $2 million in state funding.

The project includes sidewalk reconstruction, new parking, and updated lighting and landscaping from the Liberty Pole Plaza to St. Paul Street.

State Senator Rich Funke snagged an environmental group’s endorsement, despite his silence on climate change.

The endorsement is a big get, even though Funke may not have a challenger this year; his potential opponent, Democrat Steve Glickman, is challenging a judge’s ruling that he doesn’t meet residency requirements.

Chris Goeken, the league’s director of public policy, says that the group often uses Funke and his staff as a resource to advance legislation.

“I think Senator Funke’s been a good partner in getting positive environmental legislation through,” Goeken says.

Funke was an early supporter of legislation requiring school districts to test tap water for lead, which is a league priority, Goeken says. Funke also sponsored legislation to preserve farms and farmland, Goeken says.

But Funke’s record and NYLCV’s agenda don’t match on climate change.

The league’s website identifies climate change as a priority issue and includes

calls for state policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in New York.

Funke has sponsored and supported bills that promote solar power and other renewables. But in terms of climate change as a broader issue, Funke has been silent. No mention is made of it in his press releases or social media posts, or on his campaign and Senate websites.

Funke also didn’t sign on to a major climate bill that calls for zeroing out New York’s carbon emissions by 2050. The bill isn’t an NYLCV priority, though other state environmental groups pushed for it.

The Assembly passed it, but the bill didn’t get a vote in the Senate.

“That’s something that we hope to continue talking to him about so that he does get to support that in the future,” Goeken says.

It’s been clear from the beginning that David Gantt and Lovely Warren want influence over the $1.3 billion schools modernization project. And there are plenty of good reasons why they should. For starters, the school buildings belong to the city.

POLITICS | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Politics creeps into schools overhaul Mayor Lovely Warren has repeatedly said that she would not pursue mayoral control of the city’s school system. But she scored a major victory last week concerning control of the Rochester Joint Schools Construction Board and the $1.3 billion project to overhaul the city’s aging school buildings.

Former mayor Tom Richards, who was appointed in 2014 by former schools superintendent Bolgen Vargas, was ousted as the board’s chair in a 4 to 3 vote. He was replaced by board member Allen Williams, who works for Warren as director of special projects.

If new board member Ineabelle Cruz continues to vote with the Warren camp, the mayor will have a ruling majority and a controlling stake in the biggest construction jobs program in the city’s recent history.

The change in leadership comes after a series of complaints raised by Warren and State Assembly member David Gantt over how the money for the project’s $325 million first phase was spent.

In a similar 4 to 3 result just days before Richards was ousted, the board voted against a project labor agreement which would have defined union hiring

requirements, wages, and minority hiring goals. The four members who voted against the agreement said that Phase I failed to provide more than a handful of women and minority apprenticeships.

But members who supported the agreement said that the apprenticeship training was just one part of the labor agreement that didn’t work as planned.

Overall, the minority hiring goals for Phase I were met, they said. And the proposed labor agreement for Phase II of the project is an improvement over the first one, they said.

Clearly there is a disagreement over how to meet hiring expectations moving forward, and without a comprehensive agreement in place, contracts could end up being negotiated in a piecemeal fashion.

Worse, there are concerns that the entire second phase of the schools modernization project could get snagged in delays. Already, there is a concern in the Latino community that work on Monroe High School, a receivership school with a high concentration of English language learners, will be delayed.

If that happens, there could be a domino effect, since students from another school scheduled for work are waiting to

go into the school that Monroe students currently occupy.

And it should come as no surprise to anyone that delays in big construction projects typically increase costs.

Just months ago, Gantt delayed needed state approval of $435 million in funding for Phase II of the project. At the time, it was reported that he was miffed because no one had consulted with him about the project, which directly impacts students in his district.

It’s been clear from the beginning that Gantt and Warren want influence over the schools modernization project. And there are plenty of good reasons why they should. For starters, the school buildings belong to the city.

Secondly, Warren positioned herself as the education mayor in her mayoral campaign. This latest move may give her the opportunity to tell voters that she intervened when it was necessary on the schools modernization project.

And there is no reason why the project can’t also serve as an opportunity to create decent paying construction jobs, as well as a place for young people interested in the construction and building trades to get a chance to learn. Women and minorities

absolutely must be included in these work and learning opportunities.

But the massive project was originally sold to the taxpayer as vitally necessary so that urban students could receive the same high-quality, 21st century educational environment as their suburban peers. It was supposed to be immune to politics — precisely so it wouldn’t risk getting bogged down with disagreements and delays.

ENERGY | BY JEREMY MOULE

New York power policy, practices at odds

power plant projects, will just enable continued, unfettered use of a fossil fuel, she says.

Similar concerns surround other pipeline projects, such as the Northern Access Project in Erie and Niagara counties. The project includes a new natural gas processing facility, in addition to compressor upgrades and a new pipeline.

Environmental groups and community members have helped halt or delay some fossil fuel projects, such as the Constitution pipeline and an oil train facility in Albany.

“The people of New York don’t want to be the gas station for the entire Northeast,” Marshall says. “We want significant investment in renewables.”

The state’s new renewable energy policy

FILE PHOTO

New York’s energy system is making a complex, tense, and urgent shift away from fossil fuels toward cleaner, renewable sources of power. That’s the official line, anyway. And the shift is supposed to accelerate over the next few years.

A new state policy requires utilities to get half of their electricity from renewables such as wind, solar, and hydropower by 2030.

That’s supposed to climb to 80 percent by 2050. The point is to reduce the state’s carbon emissions and lessen its role in climate change.

And yet two new natural gas power plants are currently under construction, as are some pipeline upgrades. And state regulatory agencies are reviewing several applications for projects that would add to New York’s fossil fuel transportation and storage capacity.

But environmentalists and climate activists, as well as some lawmakers and residents of communities affected by the projects are pushing back. They’re working as a loose coalition, and their collective goal is to get Governor Andrew Cuomo and his administration to halt the expansion of New York’s fossil fuel infrastructure.

“I’m really happy that he’s taken a stance on fracking and rejected some major permits for pipelines and processing places,” says Katie Fittipaldi of Pittsford. “I think it makes sense for him to kind of continue his commitment in this way.”

Fittipaldi is one of more than 1,000 people who signed a letter drafted by Ithaca environmentalist Walter Hang, which asks Cuomo to impose a statewide moratorium on permits and regulatory approvals for any fossil 6 CITY

AUGUST 17-23, 2016

fuel projects. The letter also asks the governor to invest more in large-scale energy efficiency efforts, including insulation, weatherization, and retrofit programs.

Efficiency programs are the most effective and least expensive way to ensure adequate electricity supplies and to swiftly transition away from fossil fuels, Hang says. It’s clear that despite big talk about switching to renewables, that the state has made little progress over decades because it keeps allowing fossil fuel infrastructure to be built, he says.

Case in point: Competitive Power Ventures has started construction on a 650 megawatt natural gas plant in Orange County, and Cricket Valley Energy plans to start building its 1,000 megawatt natural gas plant later this year; the plant will be located in Dover, right along the Connecticut border.

Both projects already have their crucial federal and state regulatory approvals, although CPV is still waiting on additional approvals to tie into the Millennium natural gas pipeline and a New York Power Authority electricity transmission line.

Critics say that the gas and the plants aren’t needed, though the federal and state utility regulators which approved them concluded otherwise. The real problem is the state’s power grid, which needs transmission, technology, and efficiency upgrades, critics say.

“There’s not a demonstrable need for this additional energy,” says Travis Proulx, a spokesperson for Environmental Advocates of New York.

Dominion Transmission developed its

New Market Project to meet the needs of National Grid, which provides electric and natural gas services to homes and businesses in some parts of the state. Demand for power is growing, says Frank Mack, a spokesperson for Dominion.

The proposed New Market Project deals with an existing Dominion pipeline, which enters New York in Steuben County, arcs northeast to the Mohawk Valley, and continues east through Albany. The company wants to build two new compressor stations along the pipeline and expand an existing one.

The compressors would boost gas pressure in the pipeline, effectively increasing its capacity.

The state is reviewing the proposal, which some environmental groups see as the most pressing fossil fuel project in the state. On August 3, the state Department of Environmental Conservation extended the public comment period on the project through September 12. (http://www.dec. ny.gov/enb/20160803_not0.html) Some residents who live close to the project area oppose New Market over concerns about noise and air quality, since the compressor turbines are powered by natural gas, says Lisa Marshall of Ithaca, an organizer with the climate action group Mothers Out Front. She’s concerned about those impacts and wants to help residents stop the project.

But she’s also concerned about the bigger picture: climate change. New York has set goals for renewable energy use and carbon emission reduction and it needs to follow through, she says. New Market, along with other pipeline and

received a lot of attention for its provisions to prop up struggling Upstate nuclear power plants. Cuomo and the State Department of Public Service, the agency that drafted the policy, say that the plants provide large amounts of zero-emissions energy and play a crucial role in the state’s transition to renewables.

The policy’s renewable energy requirements are aggressive. And that opens up questions about how, and whether, the utilities will meet them, since just under a quarter of the state’s power currently comes from renewables.

New York has always had a strong renewable resource in hydropower, which has steadily provided about 18 percent of the state’s electricity. And renewables on the whole produce more of New York’s electricity than they did 15 years ago.

Wind power generates 3 percent of the state’s electricity now, compared to its virtually nonexistent contribution in 2000, according to an annual report from the New York Independent Systems Operator, the organization that operates New York’s power grid.

Solar’s contribution is growing, too, but it still isn’t producing substantial amounts of electricity for the grid.

But the amount of electricity produced by natural gas-fired power plants has grown, too. The state got 57 percent of its electricity from the plants last year, compared to 47 percent in 2000.

Natural gas, while cleaner than coal, still emits carbon dioxide when burned. The fuel is also known to leak into the atmosphere during extraction and transportation, and its main component, methane, is a potent greenhouse gas.

Environmentalists and climate activists caution that if the state keeps approving natural gas projects, New York will be stuck with fossil fuels.

“You build a new gas power plant and you’re going to be burning gas for the next 40 years,” Marshall, of Mothers Out Front, says.

“There’s absolutely no way you’re going to build a brand new power plant and then say, “’Oh yes, let’s stop burning gas.’”

Where a company has its corporate headquarters makes a statement about that company and how it views its community.

With Wegmans, a highly visible building in downtown Rochester, with that big “W” on the side, would say a lot about Wegmans’ commitment to the city. And it might counter the criticism Wegmans got when it closed nearly all of its urban supermarkets.

(Yes, a move would be expensive. I’d bet that City Hall and COMIDA could find some incentives.)

Locating corporate headquarters in the suburbs does little except provide a bit of tax revenue for those individual communities. Locating them downtown does that and a lot more: It puts life into the area surrounding its headquarters. It brings in employees who eat and shop downtown. It puts people on the street.

And not insignificantly, it says that this company believes in the importance of a vibrant downtown.

If I were the mayor, I’d put together a team to play the role Dan Gilbert has played in Detroit and encourage Wegmans, Paychex, and others to move their offices downtown. (My nominees to serve with the mayor: UR President Joel Seligman and the developers now investing downtown.)

Moving the headquarters of Wegmans, Paychex, and other companies downtown wouldn’t “save” the city. Urban revitalization is complicated, it’s hard, and there are no quick fixes. Schools, as we all know, are Rochester’s biggest challenge, and they’re the most important at the moment. And even with schools, there are no quick fixes.

But until this entire community agrees that downtown isn’t simply one neighborhood among many, until the entire Greater Rochester community agrees that the health of downtown Rochester is vital to the health of the region, downtown and the neighborhoods surrounding it will continue to face an uncertain future, in competition with their adjacent suburbs.

On their websites, both Wegmans and Paychex list “Rochester” as the home of their corporate headquarters. No, it’s not. Wegmans’ headquarters is in Gates.

Paychex’s is in Penfield. The headquarters of Xerox, Bausch and Lomb, and Gannett used to be in downtown Rochester. That they no longer are says something.

Moving corporate headquarters downtown wouldn’t solve all of downtown’s problems, but it would be a start. I keep going back to a statement that Joel Seligman made when he was arguing for putting the photonics headquarters in the Sibley Building: “If we’re going to revitalize Rochester, it starts on Main Street.”

Yes indeed.

A writer for Oakland’s East Bay Express travelled to Mexico City, where people had some choice words for “The Donald.”

‘The easiest way is hate’

POLITICS | BY BERT JOHNSON

At Mexico City’s historic central square, or zócalo, Jose Adan Garcia Canales was busy balancing a small pipe organ on a wooden peg. He turned its crank, and the instrument let out a shrill tune reminiscent of circus music. Garcia’s partner strolled amid the shoppers, tourists, and vendors with a hat in hand, asking for change.

The organillero, or organ-grinder, is one of many in the capital’s massive unofficial economy. He’s a man of the people, with his fingers on the pulse of the city, and that’s why I asked him about one of the most pressing issues in Mexico today: Donald Trump.

What does the everyday Mexican think of “The Wall,” or Trump’s plan to send the millions of undocumented immigrants from Mexico living in the United States back to Mexico, among so many other contentious proposals?

I recently interviewed a number of Mexico City residents — from teachers to musicians to fellow journalists — about Trump, and whether the demagogic candidate had changed their perception of America.

Responses varied. While the organillero doesn’t believe that Trump will win the election, some predicted that Trump would take it all in November.

A few bluntly compared Trump to Hitler. And some likened his campaign to a stunt, instead of an honest attempt to win the White House. Lots of people described the man with the darkest of humor: His campaign is a joke, but not a funny one.

One common theme emerges from all of these interviews: Trump has to go.

Or, in Spanish: ¡Fuera Trump!

Ali Gua Gua, punk musician and D.J.

Ali Gua Gua. PHOTO BY BERT JOHNSON

Gua Gua — a globetrotting musician prominent in the Latin American punk scene — is perhaps best known as part of the Kumbia Queers, an allfemale outfit whose members hail from Mexico and Argentina. She views Trump’s popularity in America as a byproduct of a strong strain of cultural intolerance in the country.

“I think in the United States, [people are] more aggressive when you’re different,” she observed. “And I think Trump is representing

these people who think all the problems are because of immigration.”

But she also realizes that the U.S. economy sucks for a lot of people.

“I think United States citizens are very scared about the economy,” she said. And so they’re drawn to Trump’s quasi-populist message and purported business acumen, she said.

Although she says that she thinks that Trump will ultimately lose the election, Gua Gua admits

that it’s still frightening that his ideas carried him to the nomination.

“The easiest way is hate,” she said.

And she also wants to share a warning for Trump supporters in America: White people will soon be outnumbered.

She dismisses Trump’s claim that the Mexican government uses the United States as a “release valve” for its own domestic poverty.

Instead, common people are often faced with an impossible situation, Gua Gua said.

“If you’re a young guy, in a small town in the middle of Mexico, you have, like, two choices, or three: You’re a peasant and you starve [to] death, or you become a policeman, [or] te vuelves narco [or you traffic drugs], or you go to the states,” she said.

She keeps a sense of humor about Trump.

‘He’s like a clown’ Fabiola Valdez Gutierrez, interpreter Frederico Campbell Pena. PHOTO BY BERT JOHNSON

Fabiola Valdez Guierrez is a Spanish-English interpreter, but her message for Trump needs no translation: He will never build “the wall.”

She believes that, if Trump were in fact elected and did try to push the wall, a litigious private sector on both sides of the border would stop his plans in the courts.

“Mexican companies have American partners that would likely lose money, as well, and I cannot see the federal government trying to solve all the possible lawsuits that will be surfacing” because of the wall, she said.

Valdez understands issues north and south of the border. She works remotely for Languageline Solutions, a company based in Monterey, California, with clients in the US and other English-speaking countries. She also has family in America and, in 2003, spent a summer in Texas and Arizona. So, for her, the border is personal.

Like many people I spoke to, Valdez is cynical when it comes to Trump and his bombastic style.

“He presents himself as a great business success, but a lot of reporters have caught him lying,” she said. She says that she thinks that his No. 1 motivation is to further his Trump brand with scandals and constant media attention.

But “his message is so full of ignorance that it is a joke to think that his proposals are serious,” she said.

Is there anything new about Trump’s brand of bigotry? Valdez doesn’t think so, calling it a byproduct of “a racist America that is still palpable and very alive, present in a lot of cities.”

The only surprise is that’s he’s a legitimate major-party candidate, she said — one supported by extremists who “won’t recognize the multiculturalism in their own country,” and who want “to go back to an America that never existed.”

For Valdez, that’s why Trump’s popularity is ultimately scary: It validates the idea that “racists think they have the right to impose their worldview on the rest of the population, and ultimately the world.”

Despite her concern about Trump and his supporters, she said that his vision is basically a punchline in Mexico.

“He is like a clown,” she said. “Nobody has real concerns or fears about him becoming president. At least not in my social circle.”

‘We are Poland and Trump is Germany’ Federico Campbell Peña, journalist

A TV journalist who works for Canal Once, or the “Mexican PBS,” Federico Campbell Peña has followed Trump’s campaign from day one. And he is certain that Trump, whom he calls a “unique species,” will win.

That’s a disconcerting prognostication from a man who also recently wrote a self-published book, “Stop Trump: Una cronología abreviada,” or an “abridged chronology.” But Campbell doesn’t want Trump to move in to the White House; his hope with the book is to inspire Mexican leadership to develop a plan to deal with the possibility of a Trump presidency.

The writer partially attributes Trump’s appeal in America to the scandals that have beset Hillary Clinton. But he also said that global instability is setting the table for a Trump presidency.

“ISIS is helping Mr. Trump,” he explained, “and also the police attacks.”

If Trump becomes president, Campbell predicted that Trump would immediately enact a series of “publicity policies,” such as building the border wall, to prove his might.

Another demonstration of power that Campbell expects in Trump’s hypothetical first year is the cessation of diplomatic relations between Mexico and America, as crazy as that sounds.

“We are not going to have ambassador[s] in D.C. and in Mexico City,” he predicted.

But Campbell does not believe that Mexico would fork over the billions of dollars needed to erect Trump’s notorious wall. He cited President Enrique Peña Nieto, who recently said, “There is no way that Mexico can pay.”

He does expect a truly massive deportation effort, although not of every undocumented immigrant, as Trump has promised.

According to Campbell, that would be physically impossible.

If it happens, though, Campbell predicts that the US economy could collapse, due to the sudden removal of a large percentage of its labor force and consumer base. And the situation would be equally dire on the receiving end.

“Mexico cannot receive a lot of migrants,” he said. And with the loss of remittances from Mexicans who had been living in the states, the Mexican economy could fold, too, he said.

How does it feel to be Mexican and hear Trump’s vitriolic message? Campbell said it feels familiar, and not in a good way.

“We feel as [though we are] Polish in 1938, when Adolf Hitler reached power in Germany,” he said. “We are Poland and Trump is Germany.”

‘Little Trumps’ Maritza Waldo Molina, English teacher

When Maritza Waldo Molina crossed the border with a coyote, or trafficker, she said that she didn’t even realize it was illegal. She lived for more than five years in North Carolina, beginning in 2005. And she only returned to Mexico for her parents’ sake. But she still has family in America, some of whom are legal residents, some still undocumented.

Waldo, now an English teacher, said that people get defensive when they feel threatened, and that Trump is the ultimate defense mechanism.

Her big-picture attitude is that the president doesn’t matter: The rich will get richer, and they’ll continue to ignore the working class, she said.

She describes Trump as a “Muppet,” who’s “part of a malicious plan.” She views Trump’s role as a diversion: the guy who says hateful and outrageous things to keep people distracted, while the powerful elite do the real damage.

That’s one reason why she thinks that Trump will win.

She’s equally jaded when it comes to Mexican politics. Waldo mentioned the most recent presidential race, in which Enrique Peña Nieto won with less than half of the popular vote, an election reminiscent of the Bush-Gore standoff of 2000.

She also thinks we all have some of Trump’s flaws in us, to varying degrees. She called these our “little Trumps.” continues on page 10 rochestercitynewspaper.com

Local activist takes on Trump

Trump

Rosemary Rivera. FILE PHOTO

Whether Donald Trump believes the vile things that often come out of his mouth is irrelevant, says Rosemary Rivera, a Latina and well-known local activist. What Trump is saying is ugly, ignorant, divisive, and therefore, dangerous, she says.

“I think that the majority of the population in New York understands that hate doesn’t get us anywhere and fear doesn’t get us anywhere,” Rivera says. “I think that the population in New York is a lot smarter than that.”

Trump, the Republican candidate for president, has said that many Mexican immigrants are drug traffickers and rapists. He also says that he wants to build a wall along the southern border between Mexico and the US, with Mexico footing the bill.

Rivera says that many Latinos find Trump’s rhetoric ironic.

“Many of the people from Mexico look very much more like the indigenous people here than Donald Trump ever will,” Rivera says. “To be looking at some white man in a black robe or Donald Trump pointing his finger and saying we’re dangerous and we’re invading. Are you kidding me?

“It’s very scary to think there’s men and women in this country who would support such rhetoric and who do fall prey to that kind of fear-mongering and talk, and who would feel that, ‘Hey, things would be better if we kept them’ — and I’m saying ‘them’ as black and brown and all kinds of people — ‘in their place,’” she says.

Rivera says that she hopes that Latinos roundly reject Trump at the polls in November.

“I just feel it’s necessary for us to really take a stand and say, ‘We reject those ideas, we reject that kind of hatred, we reject that kind of fear-mongering.

We don’t want a world where we’re completely divided as human beings.’”

‘Mexico belongs to the United States’

“It’s like I told you, Mexico is not in a position to refuse the United States.”

Cuauhtli Contreras, shop owner

‘Se sabe Que no va a Ganar’

On most days, you’ll find Cuauhtli Contreras at his news kiosk in Mexico City’s zócalo, where he sells papers and magazines, bottled drinks, and loose cigarettes. He’s a man of the news, so you might be surprised that he sympathizes with Trump.

“He’s defending his country,” he said. “No one sees it that way, but it’s true.”

Nonetheless, he believes that Trump will lose, because Trump’s vitriol disassociates so many voters, he said.

For Contreras, Trump isn’t directly threatening Mexico; his message is not about Mexicans.

“His whole campaign of hate is against Mexicans in the United States,” he said.

If Trump wins, Contreras said that he thinks that the Mexican government would in fact go along with his plans.

“Mexico belongs to the United States,” he said.

He points out that it has been this way since the Mexican-American War, when the US Army occupied Mexico City and flew the Stars and Stripes over the very square where he runs his kiosk.

That’s why Contreras believes that Mexico might bend to pressure and pay for a border wall, even though his country would have to borrow money from the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, or possibly America itself to make it happen. If that occurred, Mexico would carry the debt for generations.

Brillyl Sanchez, customer service

Brillyl Sanchez sat in a Quaker-run hostel and community center in central Mexico City, where he sometimes practices English with ex-pats and hostel guests. Sanchez, who is gay, admits that the current groundswell of global reactionary conservativism, including Trump’s overwhelming popularity, feels not only regressive, but also dangerous.

“I hope that he doesn’t win,” he said. “It’s the first time that I’ve heard a candidate who talks like this, so openly, about problems,” without making a sound judgement about the causes, he said.

Sanchez said that the motive for Trump’s slapdash campaign is obvious: “I think that Donald Trump only wants to draw attention.” And he sees Trump’s extremism as a sideshow. “Se sabe que no va a ganar,” or in English: It’s known that he is not going to win.

Sanchez speculates that Trump’s campaign is about creating a high profile to earn more cash.

Sanchez said that Clinton would be a better leader for the gay community and the country in general.

He also dismissed Trump’s statements referring to immigrants as criminals or drug-smugglers.

“It’s like saying all Colombians are narcotraficantes. Of course not. It’s absurd,” Sanchez said.

‘What would the United States gain from being constantly at war?’

Isaías Jaime Ignacio Cruz, teacher on strike

The ongoing teachers strike in Mexico City is a mass protest against national education reforms that would hardly cause US citizens to bat an eye. But critics say that President Peña Nieto’s proposals have more to do with privatization than actually improving schools. And his government has tried to enforce its will against protesters with violent police crackdowns.

Teacher Isaías Jaime Ignacio Cruz sees similarities between Trump’s rhetoric and the reality in Mexico. “[H]ere too, our government has already become very right-wing,” he said. “It has become more discriminatory, and it’s affecting its own population.”

A teacher from Oaxaca, Ignacio has been part of the teacher occupation in Mexico City since 2013.

He predicts that the US economy would collapse if undocumented immigrants were prevented from entering the country or sent back to Latin America.

“They have jobs that Americans cannot or will not do,” he said. He added that US business owners ultimately benefit from undocumented immigration, since those without legal status will often work for less money.

He wonders what supporters think they will gain from Trump’s belligerent policy.

“We’ve already seen this gentleman’s intentions to begin cutting ties with all of the developing nations,” he said. “What would the [United States] gain from being constantly at war?”

Hopefully, Americans will come to their senses by November, Ignacio said. He quoted Benito Juarez, the first indigenous president of Mexico: “Respect for the rights of others means peace.”

‘God help us!’

Jose Luis Diaz Calderón, university professor

Jose Luis Diaz Calderón describes Trump frankly: “Nosotros la vemos como si fuera algo muy parecido a Hitler.” To translate: “We see it as something very much like Hitler.”

But the professor at Instituto Politécnico Nacional, a public university with several campuses in Mexico City, also said that Trump’s bark will be worse than his bite if Trump is actually elected president.

“It’s understood that, in a campaign, [Trump] can say a thousand things to win votes,” he said.

But if Trump wants to pursue a hard line with Mexico, his influence would be limited by pre-existing agreements between the two governments, the counterweight of the US Congress, and state laws along the border.

Diaz also said that Mexico’s significance as a leading country in Latin America would temper some of Trump’s more extreme proposals.

“We say that, in terms of Latin America, Mexico represents the big brother for the majority of countries, with the exception more recently of Brazil, Chile, or Argentina,” he said.

He said that Mexico has been the United States’ partner for 150 years. This means that the country is an essential intermediary between the United States and other Latin American nations, he said. In other words, Trump would need Mexico.

Mexico also has deep economic ties to the US. Not only do US-based firms use cheap Mexican labor, but Mexico, with roughly 120 million residents, represents an important consumer market.

Most voters in Latin America admire US elections as clean and free from repression or corruption, Diaz said. But at the same time, in the United States, Latino voters are undervalued and their interests are too often overlooked, he said. Trump’s pandering to the concerns of an ever-insecure, mostly conservative base support Diaz’s view.

And that’s the rub in Mexico: “For us, the worst thing is that there’s a mass [of people] that support the proposals of Donald Trump,” he said. “Today, if you ask any Mexican, they’ll say, ‘God willing Hillary Clinton will win.’”

This anti-Trump sentiment is shared across the political aisle in Mexico, from supporters of the conservative Peña Nieto to those who sympathize with the striking teachers. They’re all saying it: “‘God help us if Donald Trump wins!’”

Fired up [ REVIEW ] BY DAVE BUDGAR

Merchants Wood Fired Pizza and Bistro 564 MERCHANTS ROAD TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY, 4 P.M. TO 9:30 P.M.; FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, 4 P.M. TO 10 P.M. 288-0067; MERCHANTSWOODFIREDPIZZA.COM

Located in a leafy and relatively quiet spot at the corner of Merchants Road and Wyand Crescent in the burgeoning North Winton Village neighborhood, Merchants Wood Fired Pizza and Bistro has the potential to establish itself as an anchor in the primarily residential area. The location, however, houses the ghosts of three previous restaurants that occupied the space since 2010. Merchants opened in November and hopes to buck the turnover trend.

To do so, the building was renovated to good effect: inside, diners will find dark wood tables, a hardwood floor, a small well-appointed bar, soft lighting, and with a unique touch, a large window through which you can observe the kitchen. There are seven tables outside on a comfortable, peaceful patio with vine-covered slatted wood overhead. My friend and I dined on the patio one recent sultry evening.

My friend started with the romaine wedge, a favorable breakaway — in terms of flavor and nutrition — from the more common iceberg wedge. A crisp, dark green quarter of a whole romaine head was complemented with hefty chunks of smoked bacon, red ripe tomato, exceedingly thin slices of red onion, and a house-made blue cheese dressing with Gorgonzola crumbles. It showcased what a wedge salad really could be.

The Caesar salad on a subsequent visit was similarly bucking tradition, but wasn’t as

successful. Merchants foregoes croutons and freshly grated Parmesan on its Caesar — which we missed — and adds shredded red cabbage, which we thought added a pleasant, crunchy touch. The dressing, however, was not well balanced, and a bit heavy on the anchovy flavor — this from someone who often bemoans the lack of that umami on some Caesar salads.

Another starter that worked well was the wood-oven chicken wings, offered in a medium Buffalo-style sauce, BBQ, or Sriracha honey. I opted for the latter version, which were sweethot as expected, and had surprisingly crispy skin, a finish usually only attained through deepfrying. I verified with our server — who was highly knowledgeable — that these wings never saw the depths of a fryer, only the intense heat of the wood oven.

On our first visit, my friend chose the potato pizza, while I went more traditional with the Merchants, which uses red sauce, sausage,

cup-and-char pepperoni, bell peppers, grilled onions, and both Fontinella and Mozzarella cheeses. Considering that the wood oven is a focal point for the restaurant, I was hoping for a slightly smokier and more prominently charred crust. Even so, the slices had just about the right degree of floppiness, were thin and slightly chewy, though not crisp, while sturdy enough to uphold the toppings. In all, there was a good balance that demonstrated an understanding that too many toppings belabor a well-made pizza.

My friend’s potato pizza was kind of like au gratin potatoes on crust — not really pizza in my mind, but she enjoyed it. It’s topped with a broccolini pesto base, thinly sliced russet potatoes, scallions, bacon, cheddar, jack, and mozzarella cheeses, and drizzled with chive crème fraîche. Although not mentioned on the menu, our server told us that it was also drizzled with truffle oil.

On my second visit, we ordered the white pizza, which is topped with fresh garlic oil, red pepper flakes, caramelized onions, grated Parmesan, Mozzarella and Provolone cheeses and basil. The crust was baked similarly to those on my first visit, but this pizza, for which we had high expectations, was diminished by an overly pungent abundance of garlic and excessive saltiness, which overshadowed what could’ve been a delectable combination of flavors.

That saltiness, unfortunately, became somewhat thematic on this evening. The brisket burger, which was cooked to a textbook medium-rare (topped with arugula, caramelized onions, bacon, and Gruyere) and served on a light but robust home-baked brioche bun, possessed an earthy flavor, but the burger was also overshadowed by salt.

Although not a traditional interpretation of fried chicken (which is so difficult to find around these parts), I was excited to try Merchants’ buttermilk chicken-fried chicken, served on a cheddar chive waffle. While the boneless thigh and breast were enveloped in a crispy crackling crust, I found it to be too heavily battered and too salty, overwhelming any herbaceousness in the batter, as well as the flavor of the chicken itself. The sage gravy, however, was silky and flavorful, compensating for a less than illustrious waffle.

Merchants has owner Donna DiMarzo’s years of experience in the wood-fired pizza business working for it, and for that alone, I’d expect it to establish itself as a pizza destination. I’m also fond of the coziness of the location, which should benefit from North Winton Village’s ascension. With some fine tuning (and a lighter hand with the salt shaker), it should carve out a niche for itself among Rochester neighborhood restaurants. rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 13

In saxophonist Jon Irabagon’s brief notes about the inspiration for his excellent new album, “Behind the Sky,” he speaks of the grieving process and the variety of emotions that accompany it. You can certainly feel the intense pain in his mournful solo on the ballad “Music Box Song (For When We’re Apart),” but there is also an unmistakable sense of resurgence on the album’s more exuberant tracks. The common denominator throughout is Irabagon’s furiously brilliant style on tenor and soprano sax.

Irabagon has been a rising star on the jazz scene since winning the 2008 Thelonious Monk Saxophone Competition. He’s a member of Mostly Other People Do the Killing and several other cutting-edge groups, but he’s the leader and composer here.

Irabagon is by no means the only riveting soloist on this album. Special guest Tom Harrell is superb on trumpet and flugelhorn on three cuts. And Luis Perdomo is simply wonderful on piano, driving the music in perfect sync with the great rhythm section of Yasushi Nakamura on bass and Rudy Royston on drums.

Some artistic types have an itch to express what’s inside with whatever is their chosen medium. Sharon Coates must have a rash as she requires multiple disciplines: musician, glass artist, landscape artist. Her new CD, “Strange World,” is kind of a landscaped affair with its big room and bigger sky feel. Sure, reverb helps to make statements like that valid and literal, but not everyone can paint with sheer emotion and vocal chords. Coates is one of those artists that can.

Coates mixes influences liberally, from rootsy singer-songwriter on the album’s opening track, “It Was Me,” to the gentle girl group grind of “My Own Tune,” as well as pop and garage rock — dig the early Jefferson Airplane edge on the cut “8 Minutes.”

Lyrically, Coates isn’t stuck in the love and love lost lane, instead she opts to initiate a conversation with Darwin. There’s an overall pop rock continuity running throughout “Strange Worlds,” and the production is sweet thanks to Dave Drago, who recorded the project at his 1809 Studios. This on is a gem. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

More than cowpunk Wyatt Coin SATURDAY, AUGUST 20 CALIFORNIA BREW HAUS, 402 WEST RIDGE ROAD 8 P.M. | $6-$8 FACEBOOK.COM/THECALIFORNIABREWHAUS FACEBOOK.COM/WYATTCOINBAND [ INTERVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE

Now I’m not saying the members of Wyatt Coin are liars, it’s just that they’re not entirely what they claim to be … they’re much more.

What comes across as an outlaw country-meetshardcore aesthetic does so in spirit and not cliché. You would be hard-pressed to tag them as country or punk.

Yes, there’s some accelerated 2/4 that gets stomped around along with hoist-a-pintand-pump-a-fist drinking songs, but Wyatt Coin is far from bands like Jason and the Scorchers, or Tex and the Horseheads — just as good, but different. The band stands alone melodically and mechanically: they ain’t got a bass player, you see.

Wyatt Coin — Dewey Richbar, electric guitar; Jordan Schilling, vocals, acoustic guitar; and Lael Dylag, drums — came together in 2014 out of an internal conflict within each of its members as they tried to reconcile a love for two infinitely different styles of music. They called it cowpunk. But despite the shoehorn routine they copped to in order to meld the styles together, they landed upon a rough16 CITY AUGUST 17-23, 2016

hewn, energetic blast of untamed, somewhat unclassifiable, bar room rock. It’s earthy and unpredictable; things that you expect out of punk and country, and now out of Wyatt Coin.

However you decipher this trio, there’s no denying its uniqueness and endurance. Wyatt Coin has found some of those overlooked and forgotten notes and patterns, resurrected them and set them free. And frankly who cares what you call it, as long as it sounds this good.

Richbar stopped by City Newspaper to discuss forging punk and country, and going Hollywood. An edited transcript of that conversation follows.

City: Try and describe your sound.

Dewey Richbar: It’s like Johnny Cash mixed

with something like Rise Against.

Was this on purpose, or was it one of those “you got peanut butter in my chocolate” moments?

It just kinda worked out that way. I had just finished up playing with a modern country band, and my drummer was a metal guy, so we started jamming.

But you had trouble recruiting more?

Yeah. We went through five or six lineup changes. We weren’t really doing country in those days, but there were still creative differences. I’m also very picky creatively. I’ll write and re-write a song 50,000 times until I get what I like out of it.

That’s gotta be hard on a band.

They were like, “Stop changing; stop changing.”

Then Jordan came along and showed us a couple of his acoustic songs, and we liked it. So we said, “Let’s go in that direction.”

So has your audience shifted along with you?

We kind of fill it with everybody. We’ve played 25 or 26 shows, and it’s been with metal acts, country acts, noise bands, rap acts, acoustic, ska, reggae — really a wide combination and somehow we’ve always fit. We pretty much get up there and give it our all.

Any hardcore country fans, or mostly rockers?

The country sound draws a lot of people in their 50’s and 60’s. My grandparents love us. Jordan’s influenced heavily by Hank III and Dylan, especially the early stuff.

You have just the one EP?

Well, everyone complains it’s too short; it’s only 15 minutes long. There are not enough songs, so back in May, we cut a live album — something to hold people over until we get back in the studio and cut another one hopefully in the fall.

But our plates are getting full. We got picked up by a film company to record a song for the movie “Back Road” — it’s a horror film being shot in Philadelphia.

Just your music, or are you guys in the movie?

We’re playing in a big party scene, which is kind of a wrap party for the actors and everyone.

CLASSICAL/JAZZ | JENNIFER BELLOR

If you want to hear the gorgeously ethereal music of Jennifer Bellor, I’d suggest going to the intersection of classical music and jazz. Bellor, a formidable soprano, earned her Ph.D. in music composition at the Eastman School of Music in 2013, and since then, she’s been performing internationally and winning major awards. At the Bop Shop she’ll premiere compositions from her upcoming album, “Stay,” which features the poetry of Emily Bronte and others set to music. Joining Bellor will be Colin Gordon on soprano saxophone; Andrew Links and Julian Garvue, piano and synthesizer; Tyrone Allen, electric bass; and Aaron Staebell, drums.

When locks are loaded “Good Hair” by Amanda Chestnut

THROUGH AUGUST 26 JOE BROWN GALLERY, GENESEE CENTER FOR THE ARTS AND EDUCATION, 713 MONROE AVENUE MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY, 12 P.M. TO 3 P.M. AND 5 P.M. TO 7 P.M.; FRIDAY, 11 A.M. TO 1 P.M. 244-1730; ROCHESTERARTS.ORG

[ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Although her primary training is in art bookmaking, recent Genesee Center resident artist Amanda Chestnut has branched out to a variety of media to hit her points in her most recent body of work.

Her compact show, “Good Hair,” includes photographic and letterpress prints, mixed media art books, and other objects, and treads the waters of long-standing social and political conflicts that are everfrequently shouted about in today’s media and online chatter.

Black women’s hair is by no means a new subject in art, but Chestnut’s approach feels fresh and boldly engages the viewer to consider some ubiquitous concepts regarding race. Last year, Chestnut cut two-thirds of her hair off, which she’s used in photographs as well as in two book projects — one for her thesis show at Visual Studies Workshop, and the other at a residency at Woodstock last summer.

The experience of cutting her hair was 18 CITY AUGUST 17-23, 2016

a trial, but not for the reasons you might think. “I went to four different people who refused to cut it,” before finding someone who would, she says. The main reason given was that her hair was “fine the way it was” — an educational encounter with the concept of ownership.

This idea of ownership is keenly explored in her minimalist book, “Now you have permission to touch my hair.”

Through carefully paced phrasing throughout the accordion-folded work, Chestnut unravels and lays bare the balance of possession, desire, and consent, punctuating the piece with a mass of her actual shorn curls adhered inside the back.

Witnessing viewers interact with the book, and her shorn locks, has been a fascinating experience, Chestnut says.

When closed, the hair isn’t quite contained within the confines of the tome, both tantalizingly spilling out and giving the impression of something pressed beneath a heavy weight, craving escape.

Chestnut’s two large-scale photographs are a different iteration of the images she used in her thesis. Both titled “The Ties that Bind Us,” the images are a larger-thanlife exploration of bunches of her hair, the masses of tiny ringlets like a universe of dark whorls surrounded by itty bits of clippings on a white surface.

These masses are echoed in her relatively abstract letterpress prints, for which Chestnut hade made a photopolymer plate of her photographs. In the images, the hair becomes almost abstract, with a density of

ink that alludes to depth in the centers, and a good level of detail in the curling strands maintained on the edges. They’re printed in yellow, magenta, and cyan in two triptychs, one on gold acetate, and the other on silver foil paper.

“I went with the CMYK for those because I was looking at the work of Carrie Mae Weems,” she says, referencing the artist’s new photobook coming out through Aperture, which includes a series of CMYK images of her kitchen table.

Also hanging on the wall is a white apron, the loaded symbol of a domestic caretaker, with allusions to maternal qualities and servitude. The garment’s fabric is gathered in diamond patterns through smocking at the top — a technique she learned from her mother, who handmade her childhood dresses — and the phrase “I am not your intellectual mammy” embroidered in red on the skirt.

The words are drawn from a comment thread that Chestnut spotted online. “For me, as someone who is mixed, who is highly educated, who is an English teacher’s daughter with perfect, proper English, I am often seen as a safe person to talk to about things that are hard to talk about, including race,” she says.

The particular phrase struck a chord with Chestnut’s individual experience as this perceived “safe” person, whose own ideas aren’t necessarily heard or even considered by those who don’t actually want to learn anything. There is a casually damaging practice, she says, among some who want to be perceived as allies, of finding a person of color to check their own prejudices against, in order to justify them.

“It’s really frustrating when people come to me, but get mad when I tell them the truth,” she says. “They want me to lay their head on my ample bosom, and pat it gently, and reinforce all the ‘truths’ that they already ‘know.’”

Four button pins rest on a shelf, each printed in low contrast on black with a phrase commonly repeated in media, social media, and conversation: “Why do you have to make everything about race?”; “Silence is compliance”; and “Stay woke.” There’s a power in the subtly of the printing — rather than being visually shouted, the viewer has to get close enough to the wearer to read the pin, and that intimacy might engender an actual conversation.

Chestnut has recently been awarded the 2016 Strokosch Fellowship to attend the Alliance of Artists Communities annual conference, which takes place in Portland, Oregon in October.

More than Pete’s the eye “Pete’s Dragon”

of the dragon himself and the vague melody of “Candle on the Water”), Lowery and co-writer (PG), DIRECTED BY DAVID LOWERY Toby Halbrooks have streamlined the story, NOW PLAYING taking only the bare elements of the original’s plot and reinterpreting it as a simple “boy and [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW his dragon” story.

A prologue opens the film in the backseat At a time when movie theaters are perpetually of a car, where young Pete (played by Levi overloaded with mega-budget reboots and Alexander in this opening, then by Oakes sequels, it probably seems odd to hold Fegley for the film’s remainder) sits reading. up one of their kind — a mega-budget From the passenger seat, his mother promises Disney remake, no less — as something him an adventure. This serene scene is to be celebrated. But when indie director interrupted when a deer darts out from the David Lowery (“Ain’t Them Bodies Saints”) trees, causing a car accident that claims Pete’s succeeds in turning secondhand elements into parents and leaves him alone in the forests something as soulful, heartfelt, and all-around of the Pacific Northwest (this sequence is wonderful as “Pete’s Dragon,” it feels like a undeniably tragic, though its actual presentation triumph that deserves praise. is sensitively handled). But Pete isn’t alone A loose remake of the 1977 Disney musical for long, and he immediately falls under the of the same name (a film I remember loving as protection of a big, gentle dragon named Elliot. a kid, but now have little memory of outside The story jumps ahead six years, as a kindly park ranger named Grace (Bryce Dallas Howard) finds Pete out in the wilderness and brings him back to civilization.

Laurence, “Southpaw”). Though mystified as to how a child could have survived alone in the woods for as long as Pete did, the boy’s mentions of his friend Elliot remind Grace of the stories her father (Robert Redford) is still fond of regaling the town’s children with — stories that revolve around the local legend of a dragon that lives out in the forest.

Although it has its fans, the original “Pete’s Dragon” is hardly among Disney’s most beloved properties. By creating a new story and chasing a different mood, Lowery has created a tale that feels entirely separate (one wonders why Disney didn’t choose to call the new film something else entirely, although the simple answer is likely sheer brand recognition). With modest ambitions, “Pete’s Dragon” is a blockbuster that doesn’t feel like one; bucking more commercial formulas, there’s a distinct air of melancholy to it.

The film feels Spielbergian — a word that tends to get thrown around quite a bit, but here it is truly earned. It owes a lot to “E.T.,” with a sprinkling of Disney’s live-action “The Jungle Book” from earlier this year tossed in. Lowery forgoes the snark and self-referentiality of so many modern movies aimed at kids, opting for an appealingly earnest tone.

Children’s entertainment has grown so afraid that kids will lose interest, they refuse to have a single down moment. So when a kid’s movie is willing to have some honest-to-God quiet in it, taking even a moment for things like listening to wind rustling through the trees, it’s enough to give you chills. The forest is captured in all its misty, majestic glory by cinematographer Bojan Bazelli, and I can easily imagine the film inspiring a generation of kids to go outside and explore.

REQUIREMENTS: • Extreme attention to detail • Commitment to factual accuracy • Interest in community & cultural events • Customer-service skills • Excellent computer skills • Familiarity with social media

Film Previews Full film reviews available at rochestercitynewspaper.com.

This genial spirit extends to the film’s relative disinterest in presenting an actual conflict, though the film does eventually concede this point as it tosses in a plot about Jack’s brother, Gavin (Karl Urban), sensing an opportunity in capturing the dragon (even if he hasn’t entirely figured out what that opportunity is). As a character, Gavin comes across as more misguided that outright villainous, and it’s in keeping with the film’s gentle temperament that there are no true bad guys.

The film’s many computer effects never clash with the rest of the film’s folksy aesthetic (and seeing the film in 3D didn’t appear to add much). Elliot himself is an impressive creation, with thick, green fur that you can’t help wanting to reach out and touch, big, expressive brown eyes, and an underbite with one broken tooth. He’s the most huggable dragon you’ve ever laid eyes on. The animators invest him with an impressive amount of personality; a scene in which Elliot peers in on Pete as he bonds with his temporary family sees the dragon demonstrating a depth of emotion that’s remarkable to see.

With its gentle tone, “Pete’s Dragon” would make a pretty spectacular first moviegoing experience for any young child (though adults will get plenty out of it as well — it’s probably a good idea to bring tissues).

Presenting a story rendered with a sincerity and artistry that distinguishes it from so many soulless summer blockbusters, it provides a heartening reminder that “remake” doesn’t always have to be a dirty word.

Pleasant Parkside Pre-War

361 Highland Avenue Stretching along the southeastern border of Rochester is the Pinnacle Range of hills; unique geological features created by the recession of glaciers during the last Ice Age. In 1887 one of these prominent knolls was donated to the city by legendary nurserymen George Ellwanger and Patrick Barry for use as an arboretum. Soon thereafter Fredrick Law Olmsted was commissioned to design our now beloved system of parks, of which Highland Park is arguably the crown jewel with its world-renowned collection of lilacs and trails wandering through countless designed landscape vignettes.

Few homes are able to claim the rare privilege of having such a park as their front yard, but this whimsical medina stone and clapboard sided Colonial Revival, built in 1939 by Charles Wyand, can do just that.

The curved front walk draws you from the lilacs to the heavy wood front door with its wrought iron hardware. Stepping inside, a decorative historic linoleum floor greets you with a coat closet to the left. Through a broad archway the foyer sets the stage with a grand oak stair leading to the second floor, gleaming gumwood woodwork, and oak floors; to either side archways give way to the living and dining rooms. The living room has ample views of Highland Park through its large original steel casement windows, all of which have recently been restored. A broad hearth and gumwood mantel centers the room with original sconces and built-in bookcase adding charm, and glass paneled door leading to the rear porch. The dining

room features an original chandelier and more gleaming woodwork. A double-hinged door gives way to the generous kitchen with a built-in corner cabinet, breakfast area, ample original cabinetry and wide views of the terraced backyard.

The second floor has three bedrooms (two of which could be masters) with generous closets, windows on at least two sides, and original 1930s ceiling lights. The shared bathroom has great original black and white tile walls and floors with brand new toilet and vanity.

The basement is tall and partially finished with plentiful storage and efficiently arranged utilities. The central air furnace and hot water tank were recently replaced. The attached one car garage could be easily connected through to the house via the kitchen.

The terraces of the backyard with a whimsical stone stair and retaining walls lengthen the vista from the generous rear porch, and with a little bit of imagination could quickly become an enviable private oasis.

Lovingly cared for by the same family for forty years, this historic home by the park will surely not last long. Contact realtor Jim Kubarek of RE/MAX Realty Group at 585729-2816 for more information and this parkside retreat could be yours for $184,900.

FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD

Designer Leather

The late fashion designer Alexander McQueen (who dabbled in macabre collections, himself), might appreciate the work of acolyte Tina Gorjanc: She will grow McQueen’s skin (from DNA off his hair) in a lab, add back his tattoos, and from that make leather handbags and jackets.

Gorjanc, a recent graduate of McQueen’s fashion school alma mater, bills the project mainly as showcasing the meager legal protections for abandoned bits of human DNA — and fears industrial use of such DNA on a much larger scale.

War Is Hell

(1) Jihadists had a rough year militarily and now suffer further from an array of field reports (such as a new book by retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn) that their most sensitive laptop computers captured in battle

by U.S. forces seemed always to be loaded with pornography — including “vile” material involving kids and animals. (Initially, said one analyst, there was so much porn that U.S. intelligence figured its purpose was only to disguise tactical messages within the sex-scene pixels.) (2) On the other hand, jihadists can claim one victory, in that the actor Michael Caine said recently the terrorist-caused airport discomforts had finally convinced him to legally change his name to “Michael Caine” — after tiring of explaining to screeners why he had Maurice Micklewhite’s (his birth name’s) passport.

Awkward Flirtations

For Some Reason, Ladies Turned Them Down: (1) Patrick Marsh, 59, was charged with indecent exposure in Woodward Township, Pennsylvania, in July after he rang the

doorbell of a 30-year-old female neighbor seeking, as he told police, “courtship.”

He greeted the woman naked, “with his genitals in his hands.” (2) In Florida’s The Villages senior community, Howard Sparber, 69, faces several charges after having, in June, fired 33 9mm rounds into the home of a woman who had been declining his sexual overtures. (The lady was away.)

(3) John Taylor, 57, said he was just lonely and wanted to meet women when a court sentenced him in Shirley, England, in July, for a three-month spree of furtively slipping men’s underwear through various women’s house letterboxes.

Compelling Explanations

In June, Dieter Uchtdorf, a high official in the Mormon Church, said the historic narrative of Mormon founder Joseph Smith’s use of a “seer stone” to translate the “golden plates” that gave Smith ultimate worldly knowledge has been authenticated, basically, by the 2007 invention of the iPhone. “I can get the collected knowledge of the world through a few little inputs,” said Uchtdorf, and thus it is likelier than ever that God gave Smith something like a smartphone in 1823.

Geoffrey Fortier, 23, was arrested in Craighead County, Arkansas, in July and charged with video voyeurism of a woman he had allowed to shower in the home occupied by Fortier and his girlfriend. After the woman stepped out of the shower, she noticed a logged-on iPad propped against a wall.

Fortier informed deputies that it was all a misunderstanding — that he had earlier recorded himself urinating in order to sell the video to a urination-fetish website, and he simply forgot to remove the device.

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 26 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Satisfy your heart. Make changes that will lead to greater happiness with someone special. Don’t fear commitment when you should be doing everything you can to make it happen. If you care about someone, express your feelings and your intentions.

Nurture and let love grow.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): When it comes to love, don’t let stubbornness stifle happiness. Relationships need to be balanced, and give-andtake will be essential if you want to enjoy the benefits of a long-lasting and fruitful union. Be willing to give your all and unafraid to ask for the same in return.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Take your time when sizing up the logistics of a potential relationship. Your heart may be trapped by someone’s charm, but let your brain decipher if the promises and persuasive tactics being used are legitimate. Deception and disillusionment are apparent.

Proceed with caution.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Be willing to make sacrifices when it comes to love and marriage. Your home may be your castle, but when you decide to share it with someone, equal input will be necessary if you want your relationship to survive. Work with -- not against -- the person who so gallantly steels your heart.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Participate and get involved in activities that will help you find love. Whether you join a singles’ group or service, displaying the things you enjoy doing most will help you connect with someone you can share your pastimes with. Don’t wait for love to come to you; take charge.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Push yourself to get out and take part in activities in your community. You won’t meet anyone sitting at home. It’s time to spread your wings and try new things. You’ve got plenty to offer, so don’t hide. Get out and present your intentions and what you have to offer.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you aren’t happy with the way things are moving along in your personal life, make changes. Evaluate your emotional situation and check out your options. Someone you trust will help you move on and start anew. A pleasure trip will help you put your love life in perspective.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ll be in dreamland when it comes to love and passionate encounters. Share your imaginative ideas, and you’ll find you are on the same page as someone you cherish. Love is on the rise, and plans can be made. A change to where or how you live looks promising.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Power will attract you.

Instead of deferring to someone, work toward gaining respect and clout required to match your partner of choice. If you bow down to someone, you will never have an equal relationship or be treated properly, but rising up will build confidence and a good relationship.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t leave anything to chance -- especially when it comes to affairs of the heart.

Get your paperwork in order, and know exactly what you are willing to offer to someone you love. Incentives will ensure that you keep the object of your desires content.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Spending time with someone you enjoy working and playing with will lead to an interesting innuendo that will change your life. Share your thoughts and your willingness to experiment with unique living arrangements. Now is not the time to be coy. If you want someone, make a move.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll be drawn to someone who has a dual personality. Before you become too involved, see what lurks behind the generous and playful attitude you have grown to love. Looks and first impressions can be deceiving. Take precautions, and you’ll avoid wasting your time on a bad situation.
