A peek at Midtown proposals

The City of Rochester received four development proposals for Parcel 5 at Midtown downtown. One was submitted by the Rochester Broadway Theatre League for a performing arts center. Another was likely submitted by a group that wants to keep at least part of the parcel open for a public gathering space. No casino has been proposed, according to the Democrat and Chronicle.

Anti-poverty group to offer adult mentoring

The Rochester-Monroe Anti-Poverty Initiative at United Way is ready to start putting its plans into motion. The group will partner with local nonprofits for a trial two-year adult mentoring program.

The group has selected the EMMA, Beechwood, and Marketview Heights neighborhoods for its initial work.

Tinsley takes charge of RGH

Nancy Tinsley replaced Bob Cercek as president of Rochester General Hospital.

She is the former head of University Hospitals Parma Medical Center where she is credited with expanding that organization’s services.

Vargas a finalist in New Hampshire Bolgen Vargas, former Rochester schools super-

intendent, is a finalist for the superintendent job with the Manchester School District in New Hampshire, according to the Union Leader newspaper. That school district is about half the size of the Rochester City School District. Vargas led the RCSD from July 2012 to December 2015. His departure followed clashes with the school board.

Firm will find photonics site

Nojay’s life, and death, made an impression

The New York State Photonics Board hired a firm to pick the site of a crucial AIM Photonics facility. Newmark Grubb Knight Frank will examine sites for the new testing, assembly, and packaging facility to be located in the Rochester area. Potential sites include Eastman Business Park and SUNY Polytechnic’s Canal Ponds facility in Greece.

Bill Nojay was one of the Rochester area’s leading conservative voices, and with good reason: the man left an impression, whether you agreed with him or not.

Nojay, a State Assembly member, talk radio host, and former head of the Rochester Genesee Regional Transit Authority, killed himself last week. The 59-year-old stunned the community by shooting himself at Rochester’s Riverside Cemetery.

No to labor agreement

The board that oversees the Rochester school’s district massive construction project again rejected a Project Labor Agreement for the program’s second phase. The second vote was the result of a court ruling on a lawsuit filed by the building trades. A judge ordered board members to explain the reasons for their votes in public.

Bill Nojay, a sharp conservative voice in the Rochester area, died last week. Love him or leave him, he did care about the city.

Nojay was a firebrand who wasn’t afraid to publicly and sharply attack his opponents.

He was polarizing, but he seemed to enjoy engaging his critics -- CITY included -- to explain his ideas and positions.

He was also an early supporter of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump; earlier this year, the New York Times reported that he was instrumental in getting Trump to run.

Many Rochesterians remember Nojay as the face of the Rochester Central Station proposal, which called for a new downtown bus station paired with commercial and residential components. Throughout the push, he quarreled with city leaders and Representative Louise Slaughter.

He cared about the City of Rochester, which is a feeling that you don’t always

get from other local Republicans.

Nojay railed against gun control legislation, particularly New York’s SAFE Act, and served as the plaintiff in an unsuccessful federal lawsuit to overturn the law.

The day that he killed himself, Nojay was supposed to appear in federal court to answer fraud charges which reportedly related to his handling of a trust account for architect Bud DeWolff.

He was a defendant in a fraud trial in Cambodia and he faced scrutiny over his role in a company that won a Rochester school district construction contract.

Nojay was also a candidate in Tuesday’s Republican primary for the 133rd Assembly District against Rick Milne, the mayor of Honeoye Falls. His named stayed on the ballot after his death.

School 15 needs a new home because Monroe High School annexed its space; the school was on Monroe’s campus. School 15 and School 1 are similar in that both are elementary schools, and draw students from across the city. They aren’t far apart, either. So combining the schools seemed like a good idea.

EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Two school communities in limbo Parents, teachers, and staff at School 1 knew that their school was scheduled to get work done soon — part of a $1.3 billion districtwide overhaul. They did not know, however, that the district was considering combining School 15 with their school.

The proposal was made earlier this year, but nobody told them.

“It just fell through the cracks,” says school board member Willa Powell. “No one knows why.”

They finally did learn of the proposal at a meeting earlier this month.

The School 15 community did know about the proposal, but aren’t totally on board. Many like the school’s small size and don’t want that to change, although they may not have a choice, Powell says.

School 15 needs a new home because Monroe High School annexed its space; the school was on Monroe’s campus. School 15 and School 1 in the Cobbs Hill neighborhood are similar in that both are elementary schools and draw students from across the city.

They also aren’t far apart. So combining the schools seemed like a good idea to the schools construction board, which oversees the project and came up with the proposal.

But given the communications breakdown and the backlash, school board members have instructed the construction board to come

up with a new set of recommendations. The construction board has two weeks, and the new recommendations must include input from parents, a list of options, and a timeline for implementation, says Van White, the school board’s president.

The big challenge is what to do with the School 15 population now that the space at Monroe is no longer available. School 15 students are currently housed in temporary or “swing” space in a district building on Upper Falls Boulevard.

Coming up with an alternative proposal to the School 1 combination will be difficult because the district’s building inventory has shrunk, White says.

School 15 is an exceptionally popular school in the Rochester school district, and Powell says that she would like to see it expanded or duplicated.

“I recommended that the school be doubled in size,” she says. “That would make it an average size school.”

But many parents say that School 15’s small size is what drew them to the school in the first place.

The fate of School 1 both short and long term is uncertain. Even though the school is scheduled for construction soon, there’s been no word on where the students will go while the construction is taking place.

And the School 1 community is worried that changes to the building or the way that the school operates could jeopardize the work that the school does with autistic students.

“The school houses a large number of autistic students and they have difficulty adapting to big changes,” Powell says. “So there is a lot of sensitivity about changes to that school.”

Complicating everything is a lawsuit filed by the building trades against the construction board, which could delay the entire overhaul project. The unions say that the board was out of line when it rejected a Project Labor Agreement for the second phase of school improvements.

COURTS | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Diversifying jury pools Governor Andrew Cuomo signed legislation that should increase the number of people who can be included in jury pools for US District Courts in New York State. The legislation was introduced by State Assembly Majority Leader Joe Morelle.

Broadening the jury pool should make the panels more diverse. And random selection of jurors who better reflect the communities they serve will help boost the public’s confidence in the justice system, says Frank Geraci Jr., chief judge for federal courts in Western New York.

The demand for additional jurors is also the result of more cases being filed with New York’s District Courts, and that trend is expected to continue.

There are four US District Courts throughout the state. But prior to the new legislation, they did not have access to the wide base of potential jurors available to the state’s court system.

The state’s courts can find potential jurors by combing through voter registration, driver licenses, state tax filings, unemployment insurance, and public assistance records.

The District Courts didn’t have access to the state’s information, but the new legislation allows them to get lists of registered voters and licensed drivers.

ENVIRONMENT | BY JEREMY MOULE

‘Black Birder’ says conservation should include all Nature is relevant in all of our lives. That’s the simple idea that J. Drew Lanham, a wildlife ecology professor at Clemson University, keeps coming back to.

Lanham is an accomplished ornithologist, an avid recreational birder, a naturalist, a hunter, and a published author and poet. He’s also black and says that he sees “very few people who look like me doing what I do, either enjoying birding and nature or working in the field as an ecologist.”

Lanham — the self-dubbed “Black Birder” — has made it his mission to bring people of color into conservation and the ecological sciences, and to help conservation and science organizations do the same. He champions what he calls “coloring the conservation conversation.”

“It’s really, for me and my work, not as much about pulling people into careers as it is having them understand the importance of nature and taking care of it,” Lanham says.

The Seneca Park Zoo Society and Rochester Institute of Technology’s Office for Diversity and Inclusion will bring Lanham to Rochester for a free talk at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, September 27. The talk is titled, “The Uncomfortable Elephant Bird of Color in the Room — Addressing the Coming Changes in Conservation,” and will focus on how to make conservation and the conservation sciences more accessible and inclusive. It’ll be held at RIT’s College of Liberal Arts auditorium, and it is open to the public.

Lanham will also meet with RIT students, fifth and sixth graders at School 3, and youth at the Humboldt Recreation Center.

Conservation groups, science organizations, and government agencies have noticed the lack of diversity in conservation work, too. Pamela Reed Sanchez, executive director of the Seneca Park Zoo Society, says that there is a “dearth of applicants of color” for open jobs at her organization. The society is the educational arm of the zoo and its staff should reflect the communities it serves, she says.

Lanham’s interest in better connecting people to nature grows out of his scientific interest in the effects of forest management on wildlife. His studies led him to explore how people think about the connection between

land and birds, he says.

Conservation should blend science and art, he says. Lanham’s writing and talks blend themes of nature, culture, ethnicity, and race; sometimes he uses an introspective, memoir-style approach, while other times his work is illuminating but tongue-in-cheek.

His widely circulated essay published in Orion, “9 Rules for the Black Birdwatcher” is an example of the latter: https://orionmagazine.org/article/9rules-for-the-black-birdwatcher/ The following is an edited version of a recent conversation with Lanham.

CITY: How did you get into the topic of making conservation more inclusive?

Lanham: I grew up a nature lover and a birder and all of that. With parents who were science teachers, and living in rural South Carolina, I think it was kind of fated to me. Nature has always been important in my life not only for reasons of enjoyment as a birder and as a naturalist, but out of necessity. In part, my family depended on nature for sustenance.

I know that there are issues of land loss and a lack of participation in outdoor-related activities among people of color, and there’s also that same lack of participation by people of color in the profession, in the ecological sciences.

Those things make me want to reach out and be an example to people so that they understand that, first of all, it’s a profession that’s doable, that’s enjoyable; that birding is a hobby that can be enjoyed by everyone, but that nature — whether you’re studying birds or butterflies — has relevance in all of our lives.

Where is the reason for the disconnect with youth of color?

It’s not that people of color don’t see nature as important. I think it’s context, and nature isn’t always necessarily expansive swaths of wilderness with eagles flying overhead. Sometimes,

it’s the green space in your community.

Sometimes, it’s the community garden.

Maybe it’s your back yard. Maybe it’s the weed growing through the crack in the sidewalk or the pigeon flying overhead.

One of the things we need to do is redefine these experiences that people have in nature and meet people where they are, and understand that nature is everywhere and not just this far away idea and pattern.

Where do these conversations need to happen?

They need to happen in our curricula.

We need to help children understand that nature is a place of exploration and curiosity and that our lives depend on nature: exploiting the natural curiosity that we all have as children. That’s critical.

From there, moving from elementary to middle school, and especially in high school, for teachers to embrace not just the natural sciences but the ecological sciences as viable options for curriculum; that states maybe try to incorporate those types of things into the learning schemes.

And then beyond that into high school, as students are matriculating and looking for careers, that guidance counselors understand the true value of students exploring all of the career options and major options that

are available to them through work, but also through higher education and college.

Some of those options may not be apparent to many people. What are they?

We all drink water, we breathe air, and we live on land. And so taking care of land, air, water, and wildlife that’s connected to it, there are any number of professions that would allow you to do that. So working for local municipalities, working for state agencies, working for federal agencies, teaching, all of those are important careers.

The educational process for me is about having people understand how nature fits into their lives and why they should appreciate it. At the end of the day, it comes down to this idea of relevance: that nature means something in my life and so I need to protect it. And that protection may mean being active as a spokesperson for or against certain things All of the issues that we have going on in our communities, whether it’s development, whether it’s infrastructure, or perhaps we move to a huge issue like climate change, we need to understand how that’s going to impact us at a community level and then, once we begin to understand that, we can become active and informed participants in this conservation conversation that I talk about. rochestercitynewspaper.com

The Witness Palestine Film Festival runs from Thursday, September 15, through Friday, October 21. Miko Peled, author of “The General’s Son: Journey of an Israeli in Palestine” opens the film series with a talk from his book, which chronicles the account of how he, “the son of an Israeli general and a staunch Zionist,” learned the truth about Israeli-Palestinian history.

The opening event is at 7 p.m. at the Historic German House, 315 Gregory Street. For information on the film series, including dates, locations, and show times: witnesspalestinerochester.org.

Workshop to help empower neighborhoods

A Main Street mission Calvin Eaton FOR MORE ON EATON, CHECK OUT THEGLUTENFREECHEFBLOG.COM AND 540WESTMAIN.ORG [ FEATURE ] BY JAMES JOSEPH

A bubble of activity surrounds Calvin Eaton, and pearls of sweat circle his face during a sultry summer afternoon. Inside 540WMain, a community center in Rochester’s Susan B. Anthony Neighborhood, Eaton is helping facilitate the work of three artists and two teenage interns.

540WMain is a Swiss Army knife of a community center. Inside, there is a conference room, a gallery, and a commercial kitchen, and there’s an outside courtyard currently under renovation. Eaton, the man in charge of the unique space, is just as versatile.

A prominent Rochester food blogger, Eaton is starting to focus his attentions on promoting the community, and 540WMain, which opened earlier this year, has been an important step for him. The center is a space for educational programs and events

for all ages, but does emphasize working with Rochester youth — especially through afterschool and college preparatory programs.

Arts and culinary education is also central to the mission at 540WMain.

Eaton runs the Gluten Free Chef blog, which he credits as the power behind all of his work. “Me being here now is because of the blog that I started in 2012, when I was severely ill,” Eaton says, and it’s clearly evident he’s proud of his website.

Today, there’s a team of writers working on the Gluten Free Chef, which revolves around all things gluten-free, including recipes, restaurants, and events. Eaton and his team last July released the Rochester Gluten Free Guide, a quarterly print and digital publication (and first of its kind for the city) completely concentrated on living a gluten-free lifestyle in Rochester. A fall issue is due in October.

Next year, Eaton and the Gluten Free Chef will be working with a co-packer to launch a series of baking mixes — Eaton is eyeing to start small by selling the mixes online through his blog, on social media, and at the Rochester Public Market.

The missions of the blog and community space overlap; Eaton wants to demonstrate how people can eat and live well, especially if they’re interested in a gluten-free diet. The kitchen of 540WMain will be available for schools and organizations to rent for classes on how to cook for a healthy lifestyle — which can be challenging in a city known for cheeseburgers on top of macaroni salad and potatoes.

Eaton wants 540WMain to be a hub for all kinds of programs, from art and culinary to workshops that help students with school, like a currently running, free afterschool session that provides tutors and help with homework. In August, he supervised a team of teenage interns as they coordinated and then led a historical urban art walking tour of the Susan B. Anthony Neighborhood — a regular offering for 540WMain, he hopes.

That first group will help “me train other interns over time, so that there is always a consortium of teen interns to pull from when there is a need for the tour to be led,” Eaton says.

Eaton wants his programs to help interns prepare for life after high school. “He taught me to open up and interact with different

people,” says Ty’Sean Sizer, a 17-year-old who interned with Eaton this summer. “That’s not what I have usually done.”

Still, there’s a broader mission to everything Eaton does: he wants to educate people about Rochester, particularly the Susan B. Anthony Neighborhood. The goal is to have three separate walking tours of the surrounding neighborhood, each with its own theme.

“I think that we forget that this district is a nationally registered historic district, which means that it’s federally registered and preserved territory,” he says. Much of the housing in the neighborhood is original, tying those that walk there today to the time when Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass lived in Rochester, and Eaton believes the city can earn back the culturally significant reputation it held during those days.

Eaton observes every day how “people go up and down West Main Street to get to either the east or west side of the city, but a lot of the time they don’t stop.” Eaton now wants to give them a reason to pause.

LAST CHANCE FOR THE PRIMARY POLL!

Over a long and illustrious career, saxophonist Ernie Watts has played with jazz greats like Thelonious Monk, Cannonball Adderley, and Ella Fitzgerald, and pop stars like Carole King, Marvin Gaye, and Steely Dan, just to name a few. His new album, “Wheel of Time,” featuring his European band of 15 years, finds Watts in brilliant form on tenor saxophone (in the John Coltrane tradition) and as a composer-arranger.

Right from the first irresistible tune, Watts’s “Letter From Home,” this album could rival a classic 1950’s Blue Note masterpiece.

Watts’s bandmates — Christof Saenger on piano; Rudi Engel, bass; and Heinrich Koebberling, drums — may not be household names in the American jazz world, but they are among Europe’s top players. Each of them contributes a strong tune to the album to complement four by Watts. The CD is rounded out by wonderful renditions of Joe Henderson’s “Inner Urge” and Canadian pianist Adrean Farrugia’s joyful “Goose Dance.” Watts ends the disc with the title tune, a philosophical ballad evoking life’s changes. “Wheel of Time” is dedicated to Watts’s long-time band mate in Quartet West, the great bassist Charlie Haden. — BY RON NETSKY

If you are tired of the same old instrumentation in jazz bands, let me introduce you to Leon Foster Thomas.

Raised in Trinidad and Tobago, Thomas tears the steel pan away from its calypso roots and transports it firmly into the realm of jazz. Thomas, an absolute virtuoso on his unusual instrument, has lent his talents to Hugh Masekela, Kevin Mahogany, Cyril Neville, and many others. Now, he’s assembled his own powerhouse ensemble, and “Metamorphosis” should go a long way toward putting him on the map.

His group boasts John Daversa on trumpet and electric valve instrument; Sammy Figueroa, percussion; Martin Bejerano, piano; Kurt Hengstebeck, bass; Michael Piolet, drums; Jean Caze, trumpet; David Palma, saxophone and flute; and Fernando Ulibarri, guitar. Together, they build a strong foundation with an occasional stand-out solo. But it is Thomas’s steel pan ringing through that makes this album one of the most unique jazz records I’ve ever heard. Thomas is also an excellent composer, contributing nine wonderful original tunes. The one cover is a gorgeous take on the Procol Harum classic, “A Whiter Shade of Pale.” — BY RON NETSKY

Ghost's Papa Emeritus and the Nameless Ghouls do the devil's work. PHOTO PROVIDED

Veritas diaboli manet in aeternum Ghost FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16 MAIN STREET ARMORY, 900 EAST MAIN STREET 8 P.M.| $27.50-$30 ROCHESTERMAINSTREETARMORY.COM GHOST-OFFICIAL.COM [ FEATURE ] BY FRANK DE BLASE

Those in the metal world, especially ones more nefariously centered, present core beliefs and behaviors couched in theatrical evil: lightning speed, crushing volume, and gruesome lyrics emitted from somewhere deep within the vocalist’s bowels. It’s all about the head-bang.

But through this bombastic display, it can frequently come off as a lampoon of evil, a pastiche of doom.

Then there is Swedish metal band Ghost, a spectacle in heresy with an undercurrent of evil that is frightening and disturbingly genuine.

Satanic lyrics put the band in a darker music phylum, yet listening to its intricate melodies and guitar patterns, the band sounds more akin to a progressive rock-metal hybrid than straightahead metal. What started as a riff inadvertently spawned a band of nameless ghouls — each 12 CITY SEPTEMBER 14-20, 2016

simply referred to as Nameless Ghoul — and their leader, Papa Emeritus, to pursue the project that would come to be called Ghost.

“We started as a low-key project,” one of the Nameless Ghouls says on the phone from his home in Linkoping, Sweden. “Back almost 10 years ago, I was playing bass and recording an album with this band. During a sound check, this riff appeared out of nowhere. It was the most heavy metal riff that had ever existed, and it was like, ‘Oh, this could be some kind of project that someday could actually be something.’ A little later, the song ‘Stand

by Him’ was written out of that. And I said to myself, ‘If I could come up with a few more songs maybe we could call it something.’”

Low and behold, by 2008, they had a handful of songs and started recording some demos.

“At that point, we started calling it Ghost,” the Ghoul says. “And because to our minds it had a certain picturesque sound, we figured this is going to be some kind of theatrical band, maybe we should let it grow even more, crafting it more, making it better, so we could present it along with an album. We never saw this as a typical band — rehearsals on Wednesday and Thursday, and then start playing at pubs. We

never saw it as taking the normal route. It was meant as a project — maybe an album, play a few festivals, and that would be it.”

It would seem Ghost had low expectations.

“It was rather low ambition,” says the Ghoul.

“We weren’t going to sign with a major label; we weren’t going to tour. Still if we did play, it was going to be huge. Kind of like what Venom did in 1985. They never toured, I mean they did one tour of six dates with Metallica opening … they looked huge.”

Though the band was a fledgling endeavor, the word, according to the Ghoul, was out.

By the time the first album was about to be released, there was interest in the Ghost and “we were being asked by a lot of bands to open for them.”

Ghost presents music and a live show that rivals any band today as well as the classic progenitors you’d expect. Ghost’s performances, though, are a little more laconic and subdued.

Papa Emeritus is a riveting presence, moving slowly across the stage, dressed like a zombie pope, and surrounded by his five nameless, masked acolytes and their instruments. And where as you might expect a demon wail, Papa Emeritus sings with beauty and melodic

splendor as if in awe of the words. Still, it has the eerie feel of a satanic benediction.

This show, the band’s precision, and the mystery that surrounds it has earned Ghost numerous awards and a 2016 Grammy win for “Best Metal Performance” for its song “Cirice.”

“I admire many bands for different things,” the Ghoul says. “There are bands that have relevance to us obviously in that we’re a shock rock band. You can’t neglect bands like KISS and Alice Cooper, they have been a huge influence. They’ve obviously paved the way for a band like ours.”

Pressed if there exists a common thread running throughout Ghost’s catalogue, the Ghoul scratches his chin.

“I’m still trying to figure that one out,” he says. “We’re three albums into it now.

We’re just about to release an EP, and I’m still not certain what really makes a typical Ghost song. And I pride myself that up to this day there’s nothing in any of our songs that reminds me of another that we’ve already done, or it doesn’t sound like a typical Alice Cooper song or Blue Oyster Cult, or whatever. But there’s still a certain element that makes it Ghost-like.

“I think it’s more of a tonal thing, melody wise. I think to America’s and even Britain’s Anglo-Saxon point of view,” he says, “we sound slightly foreign because we’re Scandinavian. And in Scandinavia we have a certain melodic language that is more melancholic and slightly more folky — as in old Swedish folk music. Even though I’m not an avid collector of folk records, there are definitely a lot of folk elements and you just grow up listening to it, hearing it on TV. For example ABBA; ABBA is extremely Swedish folk.”

Ghost has no plans of giving up the ghost.

The masks will stay on, the satanic soliloquy will remain.

“As far as Ghost goes, we will never drop the theatrical elements and start doing something ‘normal.’ We have a great respect toward what we are. That’s not the same thing as swearing to be anonymous the rest of our lives. But we can promise that we will never take our masks off and just start doing shows in t-shirts and stuff. That would be in poor taste.” will further his aim to inspire people to help out when possible. He is also currently working on future projects, including one in China. For Rivera-Ortiz this is all out-of-pocket, charitable work.

He doesn’t sell his photographs, but does donate them to help the cause.

AMBIENT | JULIANNA BARWICK

Indie singer-composer Julianna Barwick brings her haunting and ethereal music to the intimate environment of Mission Hall on Friday. This is an ideal venue, considering that the artist’s entire catalogue — and her latest album, “Will,” in particular — sounds like beautiful, mystical liturgy to be heard under the high-vaulted ceilings of a sacred space. Combining hypnotic, reverb-laden vocal melodies of disarming purity with pop synth textures and looping, Barwick’s sonic creations draw equally from the worlds of classical, pop, New Age, and drone without being beholden to any one camp. Local musicians Joe Clark and Cammy Enaharo will play in support.

Julianna Barwick performs Friday, September 16, at Mission Hall, 125 Caroline Street. 7:30 p.m. $10-$20 suggested donation. 746-3048; facebook.com/rocmissionhall; juliannabarwick.com. — BY DANIEL J. KUSHNER Shotgunn Wedding. Nashvilles, 4853 W Henrietta Rd. Henrietta.

ROCKABILLY | DEX ROMWEBER

Give praise, brethren; it’ll be a double dose of raunchy rock ‘n’ roll when Flat Duo Jets founder Dex Romweber comes to town. You think the whole lo-fi, two-man approach to retro rock started with The White Stripes or The Black Keys? Wrong. It was Romweber and his frantic, gutbucket two-piece, Flat Duo Jets. Watch and be amazed as the man shreds his little Silvertone (introduced in the 1950’s as a toy sold at Sears) and “sangs like the Kang.” He, along with Chris Isaak, is part of the dwindling number of great American crooners left. Sharing the bill is one of the last Southern gothic carnival madmen, Colonel J.D Wilkes of Legendary Shack Shakers fame. Yikes, what a show.

Classical

Pianist Jon Nakamatsu has been a consistent featured soloist in Rochester for more than 15 years. He will perform with the RPO this week. PHOTO PROVIDED

Rochester’s artist-in-residence Jon Nakamatsu

WITH THE ROCHESTER PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 7:30 P.M., AND SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 8 P.M. KODAK HALL AT EASTMAN THEATRE, 60 GIBBS STREET $23-$109 | 454-2100; RPO.ORG; JONNAKAMATSU.COM. [ FEATURE ] BY DAVID RAYMOND

For Jon Nakamatsu, performing in Rochester has been “a lot of fun,” as can be seen by his career. Since his first appearance with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra in January 1999, the prizewinning pianist has returned time after time, performing as a soloist with the RPO and as a chamber musician with the Society for Chamber Music.

This classical music season, he’ll do both — and much more. Nakamatsu will be the soloist for the RPO’s season opener this week

(Thursday, September 15, and Saturday, September 17), performing Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano Concerto with music director Ward Stare; later this month he joins Jeff Tyzik and the RPO Pops as soloist in an allGershwin concert (Friday, September 30, and Saturday, October 1). And for the 2016-17 season, Nakamatsu will be the first artist-inresidence for the Society for Chamber Music in Rochester, taking part in concerts and events throughout the year.

Nakamatsu is a popular and much-recorded pianist, particularly in the classical piano repertoire, but, he says, his career took a long time to take off.

“I had a fantastic teacher,” Nakamatsu says, “so I never went to a conservatory. I played several concerts a year, but eventually, reality set in and I had to have a job.” So he got a degree from Stanford and taught high school German for several years while playing an occasional recital or entering (and not winning) competitions.

By 1997, he had decided that the Van Cliburn Competition in Fort Worth, Texas — one of the musical world’s blue-chip piano competitions — would be “my last chance. Not only is 27 a bit old for a competition winner, the cut-off age for most competitions is 30.”

Somewhat to his surprise, he won the competition’s gold medal, along with professional-level management. He found himself famous overnight. “I had performed in other competitions, but it is difficult to leverage a smaller title, or no title, into a career. When you win a gold medal, suddenly there’s a reason for people to call you. Three days afterwards, I had two years of engagements booked. I went from 10 concert dates a year to more than 100. I never really got to go home.” Or to quit his day job; he recalls grading German papers in between tour stops.

It was an abrupt change, he says, “but my teacher, who was also my agent at that time, was always pushing me to extend myself, and really prepared me for life on the road. It turned out to be a good thing, mentally and physically, that I was a little older. I had just had to be ready to go.”

Nakamatsu arrived in Rochester for his first gig with the RPO in early January 1999, performing Rachmaninoff’s Third Piano Concerto to a packed Eastman Theatre. “I most remember that it was during a blizzard. I’d never seen snow before; I loved every bit of it.”

Rochester’s orchestra and its musicians pleased him, and Rochester’s weather didn’t scare him, so Nakamatsu became a popular soloist. He also performed with the RPO during its residency in Vail, Colorado, and made two Harmonia Mundi recordings with the orchestra — one of Rachmaninoff and another of Gershwin. That Gershwin recording, with Jeff Tyzik, received excellent reviews and spent time on the Billboard classical chart. This week’s concerts with the RPO will be Nakamatsu’s second time performing with Ward Stare.

Nakamatsu’s RPO appearances led naturally to invitations to perform with the Society for Chamber Music in Rochester — then directed by RPO musicians Stefan Reuss and Joseph Werner.

Now the SCMR is directed by RPO musicians Juliana Athayde and Erik Behr, who have appointed Nakamatsu as its first artist-in-residence.

The pianist will perform in a May recital, but his year-long position will involve him in much more than what he calls a “drive-by event.”

“The idea is to have greater continuity in my appearances,” he says. “I will be much more involved in the season, though we are still working on the details. I’ll do some events for donors, and definitely more in the way of educational outreach.”

The pianist considers the SCMR position an honor. “I always have so much fun when I’m in Rochester, and have made so many friends among the musicians here. In a way, it’s my second home.”

Art notorious. I was given this perhaps, and what turned out to be for me, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to study with him. I jumped at the opportunity.

“The IMAGE/SEQUENCE/SERIES workshop that summer was one week long.

Every day we were tasked to shoot at least 100 images and bring contact sheets back the next day. Going through my notes from that week, it’s funny, I’ve never hated photography more.

“The biggest take-away from this workshop for me was Nathan reminding me the difference between “looking” at something and “seeing” it. A simple concept but one I often disregarded.

“Nathan changed the way I think about photography that summer and that experience has helped shape my career in the field.”

Photography champion Nathan Lyons remembered [ TRIBUTE ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Lyons is one such individual: his legacy is deep and true.”

When Nathan Lyons, the internationally renowned photographer, curator, educator, author, and editor, succumbed to pneumonia on Wednesday, August 31, at the age of 86, tributes by major institutions and loving memories from individuals around the world were immediate.

Throughout his life, Lyons made enormous contributions to photography, through his own philosophic work, and through his tireless efforts to raise and sustain discussions in the field.

A native of New York City and a long-time Rochesterian, Lyons served as the curator of photography and an associate director at George Eastman Museum from 1961 to 1969, when he resigned and founded Visual Studies Workshop. He was a distinguished professor emeritus at SUNY Brockport.

City asked members of the photography, museum, and gallery scenes who knew Lyons to share a memory or thoughts about the man.

— Grant Holcomb, Director of the Memorial Art Gallery, 1985-2014

“There are few superlatives that don’t apply to Nathan Lyons. For me, a trusted colleague in the arts community; an insightful collaborator on temporary exhibitions; and, over the years, a beloved mentor to several staff members at the Memorial Art Gallery.

Rochester is blessed with institutions and individuals who have attained national, even international, reputations in the arts. Nathan

“We became friends once I came to Rochester.

We had lunch together, maybe once a month and sometimes I would join the Saturday morning gathering of old men drinking coffee at one or another Rochester café. My bond with Nathan was our membership in the tiny community of curators of the Eastman House collection; only someone who has done it too, can grasp the delights and challenges of that position. We talked mostly about photography and its people, and exhibitions we had seen or were planning to do.

“Nathan’s love for us and the work we do was fierce and wise. His passion for his own work was irresistible. He fought jargon, smugness, and abuse of power. I loved him with all my heart.

— Alison Nordström, Senior Curator of Photographs at George Eastman House from 2004 to 2013

“Nathan Lyons made me hate photography — and fall in love with it all over again. The summer of 2011, Nathan Lyons was scheduled to teach his very last IMAGE/SEQUENCE/ SERIES workshop at Visual Studies Workshop.

As a graduate student at VSW at the time, I had to register. Even before I started graduate school, the name Nathan Lyons was one that was revered every time I heard it mentioned in conversation. He changed photography. He was a local legend. He was the founder of VSW. His IMAGE/SEQUENCE/SERIES workshop was

— Megan Charland, Photography Program Manager at Genesee Center for the Arts & Education

“What I learned from Nathan — through his photo-bookworks, his notion of sequence, has to do with how individuals are all connected. He taught me a way of knowing that nothing ever exists discretely. I can return to his books, which remain very much alive, but I will miss his quiet comments and his small lessons in humanity.”

— Tate Shaw, Director of Visual Studies Workshop

“Nathan was a tireless supporter of the photographic community in Rochester as well as around the world. It is impossible to describe the full extent of his teaching, photographs, writing, curating and mentoring to many people within the photographic community, including myself.

“I have known Nathan throughout every stage of my involvement with the medium of photography: student at the Visual Studies Workshop, photographer, business involvements with photography, board member and chairman at the Visual Studies Workshop, and most importantly friend. He was and will continue to be my mentor in all aspects of my photographic life.

“Vicki Goldberg was quoted in the New York Times obituary from an article she wrote about Nathan in 2000. Making reference to Nathan’s photographic style, she noted he created sequences of images often presented as diptychs, ‘little apercus of offbeat moments that, when sequenced, add up to more than the sum of their parts.’ This perhaps, is a metaphor which describes the many aspects of Nathan’s life and the legacy he leaves behind.

“What it doesn’t describe however, is the love all who knew him hold in their hearts for a man who so quietly brought to so many the tools for deciphering a greater understanding of the world we live in. He will be greatly missed.”

THEATER | “THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW” “The Rocky Horror Show” has always had a strong cult following in Rochester — just take a look at how many groups screen “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” throughout the fall — and now RAPA will stage its own production of the original 1973 classic. The musical premiered in the West End in 1973, opened on Broadway in 1975 (the same year as the film adaptation), and saw a Broadway revival in 2000. There will also be a live remake of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” starring Laverne Cox, broadcast on Fox next month.

In “The Rocky Horror Show,” a young couple (Kyle Critelli and Abby Kate Herron in RAPA’s production), take shelter from a storm in the home of Dr. Frank N. Furter (Eric Vaughn Johnson), “just a sweet transvestite from Transsexual, Transylvania.” But after the mad scientist reveals his creation — a blond, perfect man named Rocky Horror — things take a turn. The production is directed by Allan O’Grady Cuseo.

RAPA’s “The Rocky Horror Show” will take place Friday, September 16, through Saturday, September 24, on the Allen Main Stage at the School of the Arts, 45 Prince Street.

Fridays at 10 p.m.; Saturdays at 10:30 p.m.; and Sunday, September 18, and Thursday, September 22, at 8 p.m.

Tickets are $25 for adults, $22 for students and seniors, and can be purchased at the door, online, or by calling 2540073. For more information, visit rapatheatre.org.

PHOTOGRAPHY | RIT BIG SHOT

ART | RONALD GONZALEZ: RECENT SCULPTURE

The Rochester Institute of Technology’s Big Shot photo project gathers hundreds of volunteers to shine lights on historical landmarks in the nighttime as cameras capture a unique photograph. This year’s challenge: Rochester’s Kodak Tower.

The 19-story building will be the 32nd Big Shot, and this year’s photography team is looking for community members to join in painting Rochester history, and a symbol of film photography, with light. The project, beginning in 1987, has made its way across New York State, the country, and overseas.

Ronald Gonzalez’s artistic path began by creating figures out of dirt and sticks in the woods around his house as a young man. Now, he sculpts his figures by manipulating wire, wax, found items, and metal until his sculptures convey the “existential angst of the human condition,” according to the statement on his website. Channeling present-day politics and society into his work, the sculptor and Binghamton University art professor imitates the human figure in his work. This exhibit will exhibit his latest figures and creations.

RIT’s 32nd Big Shot will take place on Sunday, September 18, and is free and open to the public. Volunteers are asked to bring their own flashlights to the corner of State Street and Morrie Silver Way no later than 7:30 to prepare for the photo. Those in attendance are asked to wear dark clothing.

Teams will be arranged by RIT event organizers and placed around the building to light the final photo. Free parking will be available. For more information, visit bigshot.cias.rit.edu.

“Bridget Jones’s Baby”

Sharon Maguire (who returns to the series after sitting out the second installment), and an (R), DIRECTED BY SHARON MAGUIRE unsurprisingly appealing lead performance.

OPENS FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16 Once again portrayed by Renée Zellweger, [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW Bridget is feeling some anxiety about turning 43.

Her relationship with on-again, off-again beau It’s been 12 years since we last checked in Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) has been off for five with Bridget Jones, the lovably hapless British years — enough time for him to get married to romantic heroine and controversial feminist another woman. Her other sometimes-paramour, icon. The third film based around author Helen Hugh Grant’s caddish Daniel Cleaver, is out of Fielding’s enduringly popular character bears no the picture for reasons that soon become evident. resemblance to Fielding’s third book — which Although Bridget’s love life is on hold, she’s not picked up with Bridget in her 50’s and a widow. letting it get her down. Besides, she’s got plenty Rather, the charming “Bridget Jones’s Baby” of reason to celebrate: her career has continued finds her facing motherhood. Though the film to flourish, and she’s now working as a successful doesn’t quite reach the heights of the original, television producer. it easily bests the disastrous “Bridget Jones: The Time has done nothing to smooth out Edge of Reason,” and delivers plenty of laughs Bridget’s rough edges. She’s still drinking too and a little bit of heart thanks to original director much, showing up inappropriately dressed to social engagements, and constantly putting her foot in her mouth. For a while it seems as though the film is going to coast on nostalgia for the earlier films, dutifully trotting out the expected references and rehashing the most memorable jokes from the original, Renée Zellweger, Colin Firth, and Patrick Dempsey in “Bridget Jones’s Baby.” but once the plot PHOTO COURTESY UNIVERSAL PICTURES

kicks in, the film settles into a nice rhythm and finds its own voice.

While on a mini-break to an all-too-hip music festival, she ends up having a one night stand with affable American billionaire Jack Qwant (Patrick Dempsey), who’s made his fortune by quantifying (heh heh) romance down to an algorithm, channeling the results into a popular dating website and online romance empire.

Shortly after returning home, she ends up reconnecting with Mark during a christening and as he reveals that his marriage is at an end, the sparks are rekindled, and the pair inevitably tumble into bed. One positive pregnancy test later, and it appears that Miss Jones is pregnant and there’s plenty of doubt over who the father might be.

Somewhat unexpectedly, both men react positively to news of their potential fatherhood, and once again Bridget finds herself forced to make a decision between two men in her life. A romance with Jack looks good on paper (they’re a 97 percent match according to his website’s calculations), while her past with Mark has been fulfilling, it’s still a whole lot messier.

The film adds in some other side plots revolving around her mother (Gemma Jones) campaigning for a local election, and Darcy (now a successful barrister) taking on a case defending a persecuted, Pussy Riot-esque punk grrrl group — but both stories don’t add much and never really go anywhere. Much better is Bridget’s adversarial relationship with her new, 20-something boss (well-played by Kate

O’Flynn), who wants to shake up the show’s format with something more hip and current.

For any of its missteps, “Bridget Jones’s Baby” is an undeniably big step up from the last outing.

Maguire keeps things bright and lively, and avoids letting the tone become too sitcom-y no matter how silly things get. Despite the time away from the character, Zellweger slips easily back into her most iconic role (which even earned her an Oscar nod the first time around). She delivers an appealing, vulnerable performance that’s funny while still ensuring the characters remains recognizably human.

Sally Phillips, James Callis, and Shirley Henderson all return as Bridget’s trio of close friends, still offering support and giving her questionable romantic advice. Their chorus is nicely rounded out by Sarah Solemani as the anchor of Bridget’s television news magazine. Emma Thompson is a film highlight as Bridget’s shockingly patient OB/GYN (Thompson also acts as screenwriter, along with Fielding and Dan Mazer).

It’s nice to see a romantic comedy centered around a working woman in her 40’s, who is sex-positive, and makes no apologies for being exactly who she is, faults and all.

“Bridget Jones’s Baby” should please fans of the character. It captures the spirit of what made her so appealing in the first place, while bringing her into the modern age to inspire a whole new legion of fans.

Hydrangeas, hostas, and other perennials fill the front yard and create a welcoming ambience as you approach 265 Mount Vernon. The front porch boasts decorative cornices, elegant columns, and a relaxing fan. Upon entering the home, the original oak door opens up to a sunny foyer, which is adjacent to a large parlor that can serve as a living room. French doors, decorative trim, a bow window, and an updated gas fireplace accentuate the room. Across the hallway, understated, period-appropriate wallpaper, an antique ceramic ceiling medallion, and sizable windows adorn the dining room.

The rear of the first floor houses a powder room, a full bath, the kitchen, and another parlor. The second parlor could serve as a casual living room or an in-law suite since it has built-in storage and direct access to both the bathroom and the kitchen. The kitchen itself is a blend of vintage charm and modern amenities, including a stainless steel refrigerator and an impressive stainless steel Kenmore Elite range.

Climbing the stairs to the second floor, one is once again treated to details that harken back to the home’s past. The landing of the staircase is flanked by stained glass windows—and a small door that now leads to a storage closet had originally provided access to a butler’s staircase. The second floor consists of a landing and hallway, four large bedrooms, a sleeping porch, a built-in linen closet, and a full bath. There is ample closet space in each bedroom and the unfinished third floor attic provides opportunity for expansion and additional storage.

Much of the interior of 265 Mount Vernon Avenue is freshly pained in neutral tones and the original hardwood floors have been impeccably refinished. The home also has a two-car garage, a fenced-in backyard, updated forced-air heat, and newer appliances. It is conveniently located near Highland Hospital and URMC. A blend of historic charm and modern updates, 265 Mount Vernon Avenue is listed at $289,900.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD

These Shoes Weren’t Made for Walkin’ The upscale clothier Barneys New York recently introduced $585 “Distressed Superstar Sneakers” (from the high-end brand Golden Goose) that were purposely designed to look scuffed, well-worn, and cobbled-together, as if they were shoes recovered from a Dumpster. The quintessential touch was the generous use of duct tape on the bottom trim. Critics were in abundance, accusing Barneys of mocking poverty.

News That Sounds Like a Joke (1) The British food artists Bompas & Parr are staging (through Oct. 30) a tribute to the late writer Roald Dahl by brewing batches of beer using yeast swabbed and cultured from a chair Dahl used and which has been on display at the Roald Dahl Museum in Great Missenden, England. (2) A 16-year-old boy made headlines in August for being one of the rare survivors of an amoeba — a brain-eating amoeba — which he acquired diving into a pond on private property in Florida’s Broward County. (By popular legend, Floridians are believed to lack sufficient brain matter to satisfy amoebas!)

Government in Action The Drug Enforcement Administration has schemed for several years to pay

airline and Amtrak employees for tips on passengers who might be traveling with large sums of cash, so that the DEA can interview them — with an eye toward seizing the cash under federal law if they merely “suspect” that the money is involved in illegal activity. A USA Today investigation, reported in August, revealed that the agency had seized $209 million in a decade, from 5,200 travelers who, even if no criminal charge results, almost never get all their money back (and, of 87 recent cash seizures, only two actually resulted in charges). One Amtrak employee was secretly paid $854,460 over a decade for snitching passenger information to the DEA. Update: In August, the Defense Department’s inspector general affirmed once again (following on 2013 disclosures) that the agency has little knowledge of where its money goes — this time admitting that the Department of the Army had made $6.5 trillion in accounting “adjustments” that appeared simply to be made up out of thin air, just to get the books balanced for 2015. (In part, the problem was laid to 16,000 financial data files that simply disappeared with no trace.) “As a result,” reported Fortune magazine, “there has been no way to know how the Defense Department — far and away the biggest chunk of Congress’s annual budget — spends the public’s money.”

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 27 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Positive changes are heading your way regarding personal relationships. A change of scenery, travel, taking a course or internet dating are all favored and will bring about an unexpected chance to meet someone who shares your passionate, playful attitude. Enjoy engaging in activities you can do as a couple.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ll be undecided when it comes to love. You’ll see both the positive and the negative qualities in whoever you meet, leaving you in a no-win situation when it comes to love. Looking for perfection is honorable, but not realistic. Keep in mind that you aren’t perfect either.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll attract a lot of the wrong types. Don’t let chemistry lead you into a tempting but questionable situation with someone who doesn’t share your values, likes, dislikes or morals. Don’t share personal information, and be sure to protect your possessions, health and reputation.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your desire not to be alone will be misleading when it comes to finding true love.

Offering a false impression regarding who you really are and what your likes and dislikes are will lead to disaster.

It can be just as lonely being with the wrong partner.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You know how to play the game of love and how to stand out in a crowd. Your energetic and courageous attitude will capture plenty of love interests.

Bare your heart and express your thoughts and intentions with emotion, and you will not have trouble sealing the deal.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll be tempted to reconnect with someone from your past. Think twice about what you are doing, and consider it a backward motion. Get involved in something you love to do or believe in, and you will meet a better caliber partner who will share your dreams.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You will be high on love and into good looks and high standards when it comes to your lover. Your needs will be met if you participate in singles’ events or take a pleasure trip geared toward meeting new people and taking part in cultural and creative events.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t get involved in a secret affair when the real deal with someone who is free and clear of past partners is close by. Choose wisely and for the right reasons, and you will bypass heartache and missing out on a serious, long-term relationship with someone special.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Build any relationship you begin on trust, honesty and loyalty. If you cannot be frank about your past and what you have to offer and expect in return, you will continue to experience short-lived relationships that are based on false pretenses and information.

What you give is what you get.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Be careful not to be too quick to bare your soul.

Someone will be attracted to what you have to offer, but not necessarily into you physically.

If you think you can charm your way in, go ahead, but let the friendship grow and be a prelude to intimacy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ve got what it takes to drum up romantic interest, but your inability to make up your mind will not capture and hold the one you finally decide you want to spend time with. Don’t procrastinate when it comes to falling in love, or you’ll end up alone.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll be attracted to someone much older or younger or who comes for a different background than you. Don’t back away due to the differences you face. Find out how much you have in common, and see where it leads. Taking the slow, romantic route will bring the best results.

Be honest about downtown

As a born and raised Rochesterian who has spent countless hours exploring the backstreets of nearly every neighborhood, there are some real problems with the argument that downtown crime is a myth (Urban Journal, August 24 and 31).

You failed to provide parameters to begin with, which greatly hurts your argument. You’ll find that a lot of people from the suburbs couldn’t point out downtown on a map, and think that it ranges anywhere from Park Avenue to the west side.

You cite three events as proof of a lively, safe culture — two of which take place in the same area (Fringe and Jazz fests), and one takes place less than a quartermile away (annual fireworks display). In that regard, you’re not referring to downtown as a whole being safe, but to the East Avenue neighborhood being safe.

The trend continues in the activities that you ask people to engage in when visiting downtown, such as going to the movies, bars, and restaurants.

The Little is the only downtown theater, and that’s on East Avenue. And the bars and restaurants are primarily found on the East Ave strip, unless you head north on St. Paul or Clinton, but I don’t believe that you’re referring to those restaurants and bars, and it’s still questionable whether those are truly “downtown.”

This may seem like a petty argument, but it really isn’t.

Correlating one neighborhood, which has gone through an incredible amount of gentrification, as a representative segment of an entire area of the city is at best faulty and at

worst, willfully, problematically ignorant. It’s akin to saying that Clinton Avenue is safe because of the South Wedge.

The reason I say this is not to deter people from exploring Rochester; it’s a great, wild, weird, and beautiful city that I implore everyone to explore as much as possible. But it has problems, and those problems include the downtown area.

For example, I had a wonderful time watching the fireworks from the steps of the former Manhattan Square Park; I’ve also seen a man left unconscious in a pool of his own blood after being punched in the mouth at 3 in the afternoon in the same place. I’ve seen some great street performers busking on East Main, and I also had a man try to push me into traffic because I didn’t have any money to give him on the same block.

I love walking through Washington Square Park, or skating a bit. I’ve also, on more than one occasion, found a used syringe embedded in the sole of my boots after doing so. I like biking down to Corn Hill on a crisp autumn day, and I’ve been offered heroin or crack more times than I can count — the dealers sometimes even blocking my path to do so.

Point being, Rochester is a great city, and downtown is no exception. But denying the crime, denying some of our faults and dilemmas, is not a way to fix them; it’s willful ignorance, and promotion of willful ignorance to call crime a myth. We have a drug problem, we have a violence problem, and downtown is not an exception to that rule. There is danger, and people should know that.

CITY has a duty as a community paper, as a journalistic outlet, to balance the good with the bad. Crime in downtown is not a myth, and stating that is pretty irresponsible to your readers.

Granted, I haven’t bothered doing any statistical work here, so my journalistic integrity isn’t much better; I’m speaking solely from experience. Enjoy downtown, but we need to keep working to fix it.

Better questions for Clinton and Trump

At a recent NBC Town Hall, presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump were questioned on their qualifications to be commander in chief. Taking place aboard an aircraft carrier with an audience of service members, the lame questioning gave the candidates a perfect forum to talk tough on defense and national security while whitewashing their past “mistakes.” But there were no new insights into their qualifications.

Much better would have been specific questions forcing them to defend their support for current US military interventions around the globe, often perpetrated in violation of international law.

Questions such as these: For Trump: How would you justify your proposed continuation of illegal US torture and indefinite detention at Guantanamo base and elsewhere?

For Clinton: Would you continue the illegal US push for regime change in Syria, including your proposed, potentially catastrophic “no fly zone” there?

For both: Would you continue to provide US logistics and arms to Saudi Arabia for its illegal aggression in Yemen and its funding of militants in Syria?

For both: Would you continue US arms sales to Israel in support of its illegal occupation and annexation of Palestine?

For both: Would you continue the illegal presidential program of “targeted killing” with Air Force and CIA drones, causing thousands of civilian casualties?

For both: Would you continue this administration’s rapid expansion of the US nuclear arsenal, in clear violation of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty?

Finally, for Clinton: Will you continue to rely for advice on Henry Kissinger, secret perpetrator of the illegal Vietnam-era bombing of Laos just recently deplored by Obama?

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Me, too! Me, too!

I wasn’t going to say anything, but then Chuck Schumer confessed: A few weeks ago, he was diagnosed with pneumonia. He’s fine now, but still… as an Associated Press report somberly reminded us: “Schumer is in line to be the top Senate Democrat in January with the retirement of Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada.”

So the public has a right to know, right? This time, it’s pneumonia. Who knows what might happen next? And Schumer is the future top dog of Democrats in the US Senate.

When the big news broke about Hillary Clinton having pneumonia, I didn’t think about going public myself.

My first reaction was simply personal: a bit of empathy – even a bit of pride.

Hillary has it, too! Welcome to the club!

But if Chuck Schumer feels an obligation to inform the public, I should, too. So here goes: I had pneumonia this summer. In healthy people, with proper treatment, it’s not a big deal. Truly. My doctor’s reaction as my symptoms persisted and an intestinal virus joined in: “Bummer.”

It was indeed. And I’ll match my coughing fits against Hillary Clinton’s anytime. Antibiotics are the remedy, if the pneumonia is caused by bacteria.

Antibiotics and rest.

Pneumonia is a stubborn thing, though. If you don’t rest and get treatment, you can get really, really sick.

Clinton got dehydrated, stumbled as she left the 9/11 commemoration on Sunday, and the Secret Service folks had to help her into the car. I might’ve stumbled around too, except that most days, I could hardly get out of bed.

Bummer.

Donald Trump – worried, I guess, about competition from someone who is younger than he is and, worse, someone who is a woman – has been gleefully sowing rumors about Clinton’s health for months. So of course all Clinton has to do is sneeze, and his campaign can say, “See? See? Something’s going on!”

And Clinton did much more than sneeze. Coughing fit! Overheating!

(I’m surprised Trump didn’t seize on that to make yet another crack about a woman’s bodily functions; maybe all of his wives have been too young to have hot flashes.)

OK. In a perfect world – well, in any presidential campaign but this one – Clinton should have taken a few days off to rest. And when she didn’t, maybe she should have fessed up.

But seriously: can we blame Clinton if she figured that would be like stepping

There are plenty of legitimate reasons – behavioral issues, policy issues – to criticize Clinton. But being reluctant to say you have pneumonia?” in front of a firing line? So she did what a lot of us do when we have too much to do and we get what we think is a simple, aggravating malady: she sucked it up and plowed on.

The media have way overplayed this story, and I’ve been appalled by some of the coverage. Usually credible reporters were pouting that Clinton wouldn’t let them tag along as she left the 9/11 service and headed to her daughter’s home to get out of the heat and the crowds. We must ferret out the truth!

For pity heaven’s sake. Clinton is a human being, subject to the same common illnesses the rest of us are (Donald Trump being an astonishingly wonderful, healthiest person ever to run for president exception, of course).

And she has been campaigning for over a year. Long days. Long nights. Long flights. Shaking hands. All over the country. Stuff happens.

There are plenty of legitimate reasons – behavioral issues, policy issues – to criticize Clinton. And her recent “basket of deplorables” attack on Trump supporters was wrong, insulting, and politically stupid. But pneumonia?

Being reluctant to say you have it and feed the conspiracy theories?

Many Americans say they don’t trust Clinton. Many Democrats say they don’t trust her. She herself has contributed to the distrust, but the biggest source is the constant drumbeat, over the years, from Republicans who have fabricated stories about her. Repeat a lie often enough….

This has been an abysmal presidential campaign. The furor about Clinton’s pneumonia shows that things won’t get any better before Election Day. rochestercitynewspaper.com
