Don’t ignore the US’s role in Syria

City recently carried an editorial and letter on the US role in the Syrian refugee crisis (September 15). Both perpetuate the myths that the US is a “humanitarian force for good” that must rescue the victims of “oppressive regimes” like Syria “when things go drastically wrong.” Neither piece asks what went wrong, other than “as with so many crises, this one has deep, deep roots…”

A few glimpses at these roots reveal a starkly antihumanitarian picture of the US role in the crisis.

According to a new anthology, “The WikiLeaks Files,” US diplomatic cables show that regime change in Syria has been a longstanding goal of US policy, extending from the Bush to Obama administrations.

The US promoted the destabilizing Shia-Sunni sectarianism, in support of its regime-change policy, that led directly to the horrific sectarian civil war and the current refugee crisis.

WikiLeaks documents show that from 2006 to 2010, the US spent millions to instigate propaganda against the Syrian government and to support opposition forces. President Obama claimed in 2013 that the Assad regime was responsible for killing civilians with chemical weapons, justifying US intervention — a claim that remains unproven.

The refugee crisis could have been averted. Former Finnish president and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Martti Ahtisaari, who was involved in negotiations in 2012, reported that Russia proposed a peace process between the Assad government and its opponents that would have included President Bashar al-Assad’s resignation. But the United States rejected the proposal.

Syrian refugees are fleeing both their war-torn country and the horrific threat of ISIS. Once

again, the US role has been pivotal.

Prize-winning British foreign correspondent Patrick Cockburn, author of The Rise of Islamic State, concludes that the ISIS movement arose directly from the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 and the sectarian war in Syria since 2011.

In fact, a declassified 2012 US Defense Intelligence Agency document obtained by Judicial Watch revealed that the US has helped set the stage for the growth of ISIS in order to use it against the Assad government.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has long proposed an international coalition to defeat ISIS, but the US has ignored this proposal, in part because it is using its (intentionally overestimated) war against ISIS as an excuse to use air power, including drones, against the Assad regime.

Mary Anna Towler’s editorial concludes that “the United States took in hundreds of thousands of refugees from Southeast Asia after the Vietnam War…We were that kind of nation then.” Yes, we were then a nation responsible for the horrors of Vietnam, and we are now a nation very much responsible for the horrors in Syria. Helping refugees, once again, is the least that the US can do in atonement.

Work together to improve school climate

I was deeply disheartened when I read the article “RTA prez: ‘Where is the outrage?’”(News, September 16).

I am the parent representative to the school board’s Policy Committee, a member of the Community Task Force on School Climate since its inception, and a member of the CTF committee that put together the new draft Code of Conduct.

I agree with Mr. Urbanski that we need to stop the blame game. In fact, the CTF, with leadership and support from the youth at Teen Empowerment, has been moving past blame toward collaboration and the modeling of the care and respect we want to see in our school communities.

Of course, it’s very hard to change the ways in which many of us were raised. We sometimes fall back into our old ideas of right and

wrong, of judgment and blame.

The language and tone of this article suggest that’s what happened here.

Rather than responding directly to Mr. Urbanski’s comments about the draft Code of Conduct, I would like to bypass the blame. I would like us to speak with honesty and care, listen without judgment, build trust, and work collaboratively to improve school climate.

Specifically, I ask that Mr. Urbanski and teachers listen to the CTF about the reasoning behind the recommendations and new draft Code of Conduct and about the participation of teachers, administrators, and RTA representatives in the development of these documents. I also ask the CTF to listen to the concerns of Mr. Urbanski and teachers around safety and supports.

Then, I invite all of us to work together to ensure that this new direction will create a climate where all members of the school community are treated with dignity, respect, and care. And that we improve school safety, keep more students engaged in learning, and provide the supports necessary for teachers to teach and engage their students. These are not mutually exclusive goals; restorative justice practices can help ensure that we have all of these.

Rather than taking sides and creating divisions, let’s work together to improve the climate in the RCSD before another generation is lost.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

An uninvited skeptic and the anti-poverty report Rochester’s poverty crisis didn’t occur overnight, Leonard Brock reminds us, and we won’t end it overnight. So I’m trying to be patient and look at the positive side of the initial efforts of the Rochester-Monroe AntiPoverty Initiative, of which Brock is executive director.

Earlier this month, the Initiative released a progress report, and you can certainly find some positives in it. A big one: it doesn’t shy away from citing racism as one of the causes of poverty’s explosion in Rochester – not simply the racism of individual people but the racism that permeates government, institutions, and businesses in ways that people in authority often don’t seem to recognize.

A second positive is the report’s emphasis on the trauma that poverty inflicts on the poor, children and adults alike. That trauma is real, and it has to be considered in Rochester’s anti-poverty efforts if they are going to be successful.

But then come my concerns.

The progress report identifies three areas that will be the Initiative’s first focus.

Notably missing from that list: schools, which are a critical key to ending poverty.

The progress report says the Initiative’s work is just beginning; education and much more are to be tackled in the future. To be addressed in the first stage are the following: • Improving the current system of social supports that serve the poor; • Establishing a system of adult mentors to help the poor get the knowledge and skills they need to get and keep a living-wage job; • Strengthening early-childhood support – ensuring more affordable, highquality childcare and more training for new parents.

Even those initial three are simply goals, and presumably it’ll be a while before we get a list of specific plans to reach those goals. Yet to come: defining the Initiative’s “governance approach,” forming “resource teams” to develop principles for the Initiative’s work, forming “implementation teams” to come up with specific recommendations for action, identifying funding sources, developing a funding model, studying the working poor to learn what kind of jobs they have and what they’re earning….

That work is to be completed by the end of 2015, according to the progress report.

For anyone not used to this way of addressing problems – and I’ll put myself at the head of the list – this seems like a whole lot of preparation and committee-

I worry that the final recommendations will avoid dealing with the tough issues that decades of studies say have led to this crisis.” forming to tackle something that has been studied multiple times, in Rochester and throughout the country. But this is how the Initiative’s leaders have chosen to work, and Brock’s right: this crisis didn’t occur overnight and we can’t end it overnight. If all that prep work leads to success, I’ll be among the loudest cheering the results.

Meantime, I’ll be an uninvited house skeptic. This crisis is so serious, so deep, and has been building for so many years – and we have tried so many times to address it, and have failed – that we simply can’t fail the poor again. There’s a need for skepticism and for well-intentioned tire-kicking from some of us standing on the outside.

So let me start with the scope of the initiative. Maybe over time, that will change, as the resource teams and implementation teams get going. And I’m willing to concede that we can’t do everything at once. But there’s a risk that we’ll spend a lot of time and money to come up with solutions for small pieces of mountain-size problems.

I worry especially that the final recommendations will avoid dealing with the tough issues that decades of studies say have led to this crisis.

One concern: In this first stage, the

Initiative will focus only on the working poor: poor people 18 or older who worked full time, part time, or seasonally, or were looking for a job during the past year. That effectively rules out the longterm unemployed, a growing number of continues on page 10 rochestercitynewspaper.com

Name-change law protects trans people

RGH growing plans

Rochester General Hospital is in the early planning stages of a major expansion. A six-story wing will be added to the southeast side of the hospital for acute medical services.

And a smaller addition to the southwest side will expand the surgical center.

There are also plans to add medical office space.

State judges now have more discretion over part of the legal process for name changes. And the people who pushed for the change say that it’ll help protect trans people from harassment and violence.

Monroe’s money problems

Monroe County was ranked as the most fiscally stressed municipal government in New York by the State Comptroller’s Office.

The office evaluates governments using a handful of financial indicators, including fund balances, operating deficit histories, and debts. County officials responded by blaming state mandates for any financial stress.

IT’S TAILGATING TIME!

State Assembly member Harry Bronson sponsored a bill, since signed into law, that he says will help protect transgender individuals. FILE PHOTO

IN THE BACKYARD OR AT THE GAME

For transgender people, legal namechanges are often part of transitioning.

They have to file a petition with the State Supreme Court, and a judge’s approval is typically followed by the publication of a notice in a newspaper. The notice includes people’s original names and their new names, as well as their addresses and birthplaces.

Courts have long recognized that the notices can threaten the safety of certain people, in particular, victims of domestic violence. Judges have had the legal authority to waive the notice requirements, but only for people who’ve received threats or suffered bodily harm in the past.

But Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a bill last week that loosens that requirement, giving judges the ability to issue waivers if they determine that publishing a namechange notice would put a person at risk. And the notices do put

transgender people at risk of threats, harassment, and violence, says State Assembly member Harry Bronson, who sponsored the bill.

A report from the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs says that the United States experienced 20 documented anti-LGBT homicides in 2014 — 55 percent were transgender women and 50 percent were transgender women of color. Transgender people are at higher risk of domestic violence, too, says Eòghann Renfroe, Empire State Pride Agenda’s manager of transgender education and advocacy.

The notices can put transgender people at risk for job and housing discrimination, too. An employer might come across a notice during a search on a potential employee, Renfroe says, and decide not to hire the person.

The new law “is very simple, it’s common sense, and it’s going to help a lot of people,” he says.

Charter growth continues in Rochester More charter schools are poised to open in the City of Rochester. The Rochester school board held a public hearing recently for Exploration Elementary Charter School for Science and Technology. And the State Education Department is reviewing an application for Rochester Charter School for Applied Technology. Locations for both haven’t been selected yet.

Exploration Elementary should open for kindergarten and first grade in 2016, pending final approval from State Ed. The school would eventually grow to a kindergarten through third-grade school with about 475 students.

Rochester Charter would open in August 2016 with a lower grade, and eventually serve kindergarten to grade 12.

Both Exploration and Rochester Charter would emphasize science, math, and technology, representatives say, but still include music and the arts. Some attempts to open science and technology schools locally and nationally, however, either as charters or traditional public schools, haven’t gone well, partly from a lack of enrollment.

“We’re not trying to make little scientists out of them,” says Kevin Williams, a spokesperson for Exploration

Elementary. “We believe that scientific inquiry can to lead to all kinds of things. It opens the mind.”

Canadian documentary filmmaker Jesse Freeston (left) discusses projects with Honduran radio host and producer Félix Molina. PROVIDED PHOTO LATIN AMERICA | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

The dirty fight for farmland in Latin America Even though much of the world’s food supply still comes from small farmers, those same farmers from Honduras to the Philippines increasingly cannot feed their own families, and they’re fighting for survival. A wave of “land-grabbing” has swept across continents over the last 30 years — a phenomenon cited in a 2014 report by the nonprofit GRAIN. The systematic squeeze on small farmers, the report says, is concentrating land in the hands of fewer and fewer people globally.

The result is a breakdown in societies and ever-wider disparities in income, resources, and power.

Video journalist Jesse Freeston, in his first feature-length documentary, captured the crisis as it unfolded in Honduras over much of the last decade.

“Resistencia: the Fight for the Aguan Valley” is a brutally honest take on how US foreign policy aids and protects the interests of the wealthy, politically connected, and corporate investors — in this case, big agriculture and food production — while the basic needs of the most vulnerable are ignored.

Resistencia has been shown in some parts of Central America and at two film festivals in Canada. And Freeston will be in Rochester on Wednesday, October 7, for a 6:30 p.m. showing at the Little Theatre.

The film focuses on the plight of Honduran peasant farmers or “campesinos,” many of whom have worked the soil of the Aguan Valley — often described as some of the richest in the world — for generations.

But through a mix of colonialism, political upheaval, and conflicting laws, the farmers lost their land rights.

6 CITY

SEPTEMBER 30-OCTOBER 6, 2015

And when democratically-elected public officials sympathetic to the farmers are literally carted out of the country in the 2009 coup, the farmers take justice into their own hands and battle the country’s richest and most powerful plantation owners to take back their land.

While the farmers are able to create sustainable agricultural co-ops by reclaiming small plots of land, Resistencia shows in graphic detail that the Movement of Unified Campesinos in Aguan comes with a terrible price. The region has been plagued by some of the worst violence in the hemisphere. Freeston doesn’t shy away from showing a countryside gripped by terror of the Honduran police and the suffering inflicted on the farmers.

Freeston, a Canadian journalist who began working on the film about four years ago, has produced numerous investigative video pieces on economic, political, and social movements in North and Central America. He has also directed documentaries for teleSUR — the world’s largest public Spanish-language broadcaster — and he has co-produced for Al Jazeera’s “Fault Lines.”

He says that there have been some print stories in English about the uprising, but little footage shown in English on US television news.

“I was the only video journalist at the time that was allowed to go and spend time with the farmers that had taken over the plantations,” he says. “I definitely felt a commitment to them to tell their story.”

Freeston says he hopes that Resistencia will make US viewers think about several issues.

MY BUSINESS...

Jesse Freeston says he felt committed to telling the farmers’ story in his first feature-length documentary. PROVIDED PHOTO

More consumers recognize that paying lower prices on everything from coffee to bananas is too often the result of some form of worker exploitation, Freeston says. For instance, the farmers in the Aguan Valley toil in the heat and humidity for pay that is so low that they can’t provide for their families.

“There are large groups of people who are very interested and concerned with how we produce and distribute food in the 21st century,” he says. “I think those people gravitate toward the message of farmers being able to control the land they work on and allowing them to be the ones who get to justify the best use for the land instead of it exclusively being in the hands of the big corporate plantation model.”

The film also has an anti-imperialism message, Freeston says. The political right in Honduras still subscribes to a “trickle down” economic model to justify support of wealthy landowners and foreign investment by big food corporations, he says.

“There are many ways to work the land of the Aguan Valley.” Freeston says. “I don’t buy the idea that only foreign capital can create jobs.”

Freeston says it’s time for the US to stop dictating the terms of governance in places such as Honduras.

“I think there are a lot of people [in the US and Canada] who are extremely concerned about our foreign policies,” he says.

That’s because some of those policies have led to dubious outcomes. For instance, the film references a WikiLeaks cable revealing that officials in Washington knew for years that one of the plantation owners was letting his fields be used as a landing strip for drug smugglers.

In one of the most powerful scenes in the film, Freeston talks to Blanca Espinoza, who is the first woman in the Aguan Valley to lead a land-reclamation effort. Espinoza has nine children and says that it isn’t possible to support her family without being able to farm a small plot of land. Honduran police made the farmers strip naked and then destroyed the co-op’s crop of corn and beans.

A defiant Espinoza says in the film, “I’m fighting so my kids never call me a coward who didn’t even leave them a place to live.”

Clinging to her, however, is her oldest daughter who tearfully says she fears her mother will soon be taken away and killed.

“I think if you held a public referendum in Canada or the United States on whether they were on the side of Blanca or the plantation owners, I think it’s pretty clear that support would go to Blanca,” Freeston says.

Possibly the biggest concern the film raises is the impact that economic disparity and violence — Honduras has one of the highest per capita murder rates in the world — has on migration. There’s a direct connection between the conditions in countries such as Honduras, Freeston says, and children ending up on the southern US border.

Espinoza’s daughter shown in the film, ironically, was one of those children. After the girl disappeared for days, Freeston says, her mother began to presume the worst. But the girl was captured and returned by US officials, he says.

“It’s really sad to see these kids sitting around waiting for the right moment when they are going to make this perilous trip to the US,” Freeston says. “It’s one of the saddest things I’ve seen.”

WHAT? WHY? HOW?

TECHNOLOGY | BY JEREMY MOULE

Rochester is undeniably excited about photonics, even if much of the community doesn’t know what it is.

But there’s good reason for the buzz, since Rochester will be the heart of a national initiative to build an integrated photonics industry from the ground up. The Department of Defense is keen on integrated photonics, which basically weds ultrahigh-tech optical systems with high-tech electronics.

It’s putting approximately $115 million into the initiative, known as the American Institute for Manufacturing Photonics.

The DOD solicited proposals from across the country, and a contingent led by SUNY Polytechnic Institute in Albany, University of Rochester, and Rochester Institute of Technology submitted the winning application. The pitch included an additional $250-million investment from New York State; a $250-million investment from the photonics industry, research universities, and other states; and 8 CITY

SEPTEMBER 30-OCTOBER 6, 2015

Rochester is freaking out for photonics.

But what is it? Here's what we know so far. a headquarters in Rochester — a region with a long, pioneering history in photonics’ twin field of optics.

Officials now know where the headquarters will be located, despite an early, embarrassing quarrel between some Rochester leaders and SUNY Polytechnic officials. Legacy Tower, the former home of Bausch + Lomb’s headquarters, will house the institute’s business offices, and the Sibley Building will house companies, incubator space, and a workforce development center.

“This has been decided, now we can really move ahead,” Assembly Majority Leader Joe Morelle said the day the locations were announced.

The institute’s lead partners have also decided that 30,000 to 50,000 square feet of unused space in a building at Eastman Business Park will house the primary manufacturing and prototyping facility. That’s a crucial decision, not only because viable photonics manufacturing is the end game, but because government, academic, and business

leaders are fired up over the prospect of new jobs in a cutting-edge industry.

Photonics is exciting and inspiring, but it’s also incredibly technical. Specialized scientific and engineering expertise will be needed to get the technology into production; Rochester has both.

But AIM Photonics is still a massive, complicated, nationwide undertaking. While it’s generated a tremendous amount of interest and enthusiasm across the region, it’s also generated a lot of questions, even among the people tasked with running the institute.

The following is a sort of FAQ on the photonics center, with much of the information culled from conversations with two governing board members: Rob Clark, University of Rochester’s senior vice president for research; Michael Liehr, SUNY Polytechnic Institute’s vice president of research; as well as Alan Willner, chair of the National Photonics Initiative industry consortium.

Fiber optic networks are a common example of photonics at work: powerful lights and extremely thin glass cables are used to transmit massive amounts data at very high speeds, often over long distances.

A lot of very smart people have been developing ways to miniaturize optical systems and to integrate optical components into small chips. Clark draws a parallel between the work happening in photonics and the advancements in electronics and semiconductors. Electronic components used to be big and bulky, but now people are able to carry powerful computers — smartphones — in their pockets.

“Integrated circuits and the semiconductor industry — you know, computer chips — were a huge leap in electronics and technology,” Clark says. “And I would say that integrated photonics is another huge

leap in technology that will connect to electronics, but also can replace some of the things that we actually do with electronics now.”

Ultimately, photonics technology could lead to faster and more efficient computer data centers, improve medical imaging devices, provide for more robust communications systems, and even lead to new displays.

Photonics has potential for industrial processes, too. University of Rochester professor and optical physicist Chunlei Guo has found a way to use lasers to make metals and other materials highly waterrepellent or water-absorbent — he’s researching the technology at the school’s laser lab. The US Army is interested in the technology for defense purposes and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority sees potential for it to improve the efficiency of air conditioners.

First and foremost, AIM Photonics is a Department of Defense program.

The DOD sees promise in the technologies, especially for use in infrared imaging, radar, sensors, and something officials refer to as “electronic warfare,” which means radar jamming and similar technologies.

Many of the institute’s innovations will end up in battle gear, including drones.

Integrated photonics technologies are in the works, Clark says, but the capacity to build the systems doesn’t exist in the United States. The technology can be produced offshore to some degree, but that’s a problem for the DOD. “The Department of Defense certainly isn’t going to rely on a nation outside of the US as a supplier for

a critical component like this,” Clark says. “It’s a core capability we need to have.”

So in a nutshell, AIM Photonics is tasked with building a domestic integrated photonics manufacturing industry from scratch. It needs to develop industry standards and procedures, as well as equipment to manufacture emerging technologies on a commercial scale.

The technologies will ultimately have an impact beyond the military, since defense innovations often trickle down to the consumer market. Much of what’s inside a smartphone, a personal computer, or even a simple radio started as military tech. And the DOD wants to see improvements in the technologies’ performance,

size, and cost, which is what will make the systems appealing for consumer products.

Liehr and Clark point to driverless vehicles as one potential area for defense-consumer crossover.

Autonomous vehicles use optical systems to keep from crashing into things, and advances in photonics technologies could make the systems smaller, more powerful, and more efficient. Those improved systems could be equally useful for crash-avoidance systems on consumer and military vehicles, as well as for imaging systems on military vehicles.

The same technologies could even power video game gesture-recognition systems, Liehr says.

WHY IS ROCHESTER A GOOD FIT FOR THIS INSTITUTE AND INDUSTRY?

We’ve all heard this story before. Rochester is the birthplace of three major optics pioneers: Kodak, Xerox, and Bausch + Lomb, and as a result, the region has trained generations of scientists, engineers, and manufacturing workers.

The workers from the Big Three, who were once the region’s top employers, know how to develop optics-related technologies, how to prototype them, and how to ultimately manufacture them.

“Rochester’s DNA is optics,” Willner says.

But when the companies started shrinking, many of their employees struck out on their own.

Rochester has approximately 80 small- to mediumsized companies that work in optics, whether in design and mechanical work or building lenses and displays, Clark says. They’re used to collaborating to advance their industries and technologies.

And most of the top companies that need optics components or design work come here for it, he says, including Apple and Google.

The region has an equally long history of teaching and training people to work in the industry: University of Rochester and Rochester Institute of Technology, for example, each have longstanding

optics programs. And Monroe Community College is continuing efforts to ramp up its advanced manufacturing training programs.

But Rochester’s history isn’t the only factor. The DOD was impressed by the national consortium that got behind and is woven into the New York application. The consortium included 55 companies, 20 big-name universities and research labs, 16 nonprofit industry and science groups, and 20 states.

WHAT WILL BE THE ECONOMIC AND JOB BENEFITS OF AIM PHOTONICS?

The photonics institute is backed by more than $600 million in federal, state, and private sector funding, but not all of that money will come to Rochester and New York.

The Rochester region should expect to see investments between $120 million and “a couple of hundred million” from that pot, some of which will come from the state’s $250 million commitment, Clark says. The funding will be used to set up and run the Rochester operations.

Additional private investment is likely, however, since many of the companies that’ll be involved with

the effort will want to be near the Rochester hub. If they aren’t here already, Clark says, they may relocate or at least open a Rochester office.

When the institute was announced, some elected leaders said that it’d bring thousands of jobs to the Rochester area. But the truth is nobody really knows how many jobs the institute will create.

The region could potentially see between 5,000 and 10,000 jobs over the next five to seven years, Liehr says. The positions will include clean room workers, workstation operators, information technology staff, security officers, and safety

personnel, he says. And approximately 60 percent of the jobs will require only a two-year degree.

“I think it’ll be a range of jobs as this evolves,” Clark says. “I can’t predict them.

Ultimately, it’ll depend on what parts of the manufacturing chain and industry decides (sic) to locate here in Rochester.”

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF AIM PHOTONICS?

WHAT IS PHOTONICS?

Photonics means slightly different things to different people, so it’s best to start in the broadest terms.

Generally speaking, photonics refers to the development of technologies based around the application, manipulation, and use of light. It’s basically the same thing as optics, which focuses on the transmission of visible light, such as lasers, and invisible ultraviolet and infrared light. Some scientists and researchers differentiate between the two, often viewing photonics as more of an application-oriented field.

“Frankly, there’s almost no system that you can think of today that doesn’t use optics and photonics in some way,” Willner says. “You may not realize it from the outside. It’s transformed the military systems right and left, it’s transformed communications, it’s transformed social networking of course, biomedicine… sensors.”

Poverty report continues from page 3

whom are African-American males who have served time in prison.

Another concern: The report says the Initiative’s goal is to “enable sustainable and progressive employment.” Possible recommendations, the report says, include job training and support and providing mentors for new hires. But there’s no mention of pressing for a minimum-wage increase – a timely issue right now, as Governor Cuomo pushes his proposal for a $15 minimum.

Job training is definitely important.

So is mentoring – helping people develop the “soft skills” (showing up for work on time, for instance) that some poor people lack because they’re so disconnected from the workforce. But that doesn’t address the changes in the US job market that have made post-secondary education essential for many jobs. Many low-skill positions don’t pay a living wage.

In his keynote address at a forum on Rochester’s poverty crisis in January, Georgetown law professor and poverty expert Peter Edelman drove that point home.

“There are not enough jobs,” he said, “and there are not enough good jobs.” Wages for half the jobs in the US have been “basically stuck for 40 years,” Edelman said.

“This is a structural problem in our economy,” Edelman said. “We need to call it what it is and act.”

Yes, indeed. And who better to lead that action locally than the leaders and the hundreds of participants in the Anti-Poverty Initiative? As the progress report says, the Initiative “represents an unprecedented collaboration among public, private, and non-profit leaders.”

If we want to ensure that poor people have a chance to lift themselves out of poverty, local business, political, and community leaders could join together and announce their support for a higher minimum wage. I’m not seeing any sign that the Initiative hopes to provide leadership in that area, though.

Another concern: The progress report

mentions Rochester’s concentration of poverty several times. But I worry that the thrust of the Initiative’s work will be trying to lessen the impact of concentrated poverty – dealing with the symptoms – not trying to lessen the concentration itself. We’ll try to fix poverty in place.

Decades of studies say that living in a high-poverty neighborhood has severe, negative effects, on residents’ health, their children’s education, their chances for employment. The concentrated poverty itself is destructive. And there is extensive evidence that when poor people are able to move to non-poor neighborhoods, their lives often improve.

10 CITY SEPTEMBER 30-OCTOBER 6, 2015

An appendix to the progress report lists specific recommendations from the Initiative’s eight initial work groups. And some of those recommendations cite the limited housing choices outside of high-poverty neighborhoods. There is mention of the need for more affordable housing and a call for a “countywide affordable housing policy.” But the recommendations in that appendix are not necessarily what the Initiative is going to recommend in the end.

And the progress report itself includes this: “A common theme expressed by people impacted by poverty is the desire to continue residing in their current neighborhoods” if those neighborhoods have the services and support their residents need.

Certainly some poor people don’t want to move out of the city – or out of the neighborhood they’re living in now. They just want their neighborhood to be better and safer than it is. And supporters of affordable suburban housing opportunities aren’t advocating that people be forced to move.

But some poor people do want to move, and current zoning laws and other restrictions have led to extremely limited low-income housing anywhere except in the city.

If the Initiative fails to focus on countywide affordable housing, it will be shutting off an opportunity that more affluent Rochesterians have. Yes, people might be happy living in concentratedpoverty neighborhoods if they weren’t plagued by crime, if services were plentiful and available, if the children in inner-city schools were achieving at the same level as those in Pittsford.

But this community’s concentration of poverty is at the root of the problems in those neighborhoods. Concentrated poverty is one of the causes of the problems. And good intentions and all the time and task forces in the universe won’t change that.

I think I understand what the Initiative is trying to do by limiting its scope: select a few areas to address, set a few goals that seem achievable, reach those goals successfully, and then address more. Don’t over-reach, and don’t over-promise. But nine months into what was billed as a bold effort to eliminate poverty in Rochester – an “unprecedented countywide effort” – the Initiative feels heavy on process, systems, and collaboration and light on fundamental change.

I’d be less skeptical if the progress report included a pledge to tackle the hard stuff, if it reflected an understanding of the necessity of challenging fears and vested interests, if it reflected a willingness to challenge the policies – in government and in the private sector – that got us where we are now.

Too much is at stake, poverty is destroying too many people’s lives, to do only what seems palatable to the non-poor.

Dining

It might be easy to miss Tsingtao House while driving down West Henrietta Road, but the restaurant is a real hidden gem of Rochester. The business serves traditional Sichuan-style Chinese dishes like (left) cumin lamb, (middled) spicy chicken, and (right) pork buns that are balanced with cilantro and spices. PHOTOS BY MARK CHAMBERLIN

Sichuan hidden in plain sight Tsingtao House 2831 WEST HENRIETTA ROAD MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, 11 A.M. TO 9 P.M. 272-8008; NO WEBSITE [ REVIEW ] BY CHRIS LINDSTROM

Similar to how food in the South has a different character from the food that comes out of New England or the Pacific Northwest, Chinese cuisine has so much more diversity to offer than is normally seen in the Americanized Chinese takeout joint slinging endless containers of General Tso’s chicken and lo mein. In Rochester there are few options that diverge from that heavily fried and sweetened fare, and that has been a source of disappointment for me. About a month ago, one of my barista friends told me about a place he had recently visited called Tsingtao House, which is bucking the trend in a serious way.

Tsingtao is tucked away on the side of a building that looks more like a convenience store to the passing traffic on West Henrietta Road. With large red lettering spelling out “TSINGTAO” on the side of the building, there is no other signage indicating that it is a restaurant. Additional confusion comes from the fact that Tsingtao shares a name with

one of the more recognizable Chinese beer companies. With all that being said, I feel quite comfortable describing this as a “hidden gem.”

The menu at Tsingtao House is solidly based in the Sichuan (or Szechuan or Szechwan depending on your spelling preferences) style of cuisine which is most widely noted for a taste sensation described as má là. This combination of spicy peppers and a mouth tingling effect from Sichuan peppercorns is relatively unique to this style of cooking and one that I quite enjoy.

A trio of dishes that I sampled exemplified this flavor profile, and each was unique. The most approachable of the three was the simply named spicy chicken ($14) which is an amped up version of popcorn chicken. This version involves dry fried chicken chunks coated with a dynamic group of seasonings that include fresh and dried peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, salt, garlic, ginger, and soy. Each bite brought a touch of má là and an addictive salty, savory crunch.

The intense red chili sauce in the mapo tofu ($9) looks intimidating, but has milder spice than you would expect based on the appearance. The lightly thickened sauce features the citrusy brightness of the Sichuan peppercorns balancing the chili base. This is a dish where the heat catches up with you instead of kicking you in the face.

My favorite of the three dishes was the

sliced ox tongue and maw ($9). It brought the most heat, and was served cold, which was a fascinating contrast. The thin slices of tongue and lightly funky tripe are coated in a sauce and paste that not only pops with má là but also uses black vinegar and chili oil leading to an explosive combination. This dish is best eaten with a bit of rice to spread the flavors out, but if you love offal cuts this is definitely the dish for you. You can also find kidney, hearts, and chicken feet on the menu if you wish to continue down the offal path.

Don’t be scared away from visiting Tsingtao if you don’t like some heat; there are plenty of dishes that edge away from the wild and more toward the mild. A pile of snow peas served with slices of cured pork was a respite from the heat of my dishes and still brought plenty of savory flavor. The sauce was thin, packed with garlic, and was consistently meaty despite a relatively small amount of pork. And a soup with wide flour noodles and pieces of lamb ($8) was simple yet satisfying.

The cumin lamb ($18) and double cooked pork ($14) were two meat dishes that hit opposite sides of the seasoning spectrum. The lamb pieces were solidly coated with lightly crushed cumin seeds and a base of the dried peppers and Sichuan peppercorns. This dish did have a touch of heat, but wasn’t overpowering. The texture contrasts — popping

pieces of cumin seed and the occasional crispy edges from wok searing on the extra tender lamb — were my favorite part of the dish. The double cooked pork dish was a mountain of sliced pork belly braised and then stir fried in a light black bean sauce.

This was the most lightly seasoned of the main courses and a nice option to pass around as an accent.

And there is a selection of steamed and fried dumplings to choose from along with buns that are denser than the normal steamed versions. The dumplings were exquisitely juicy and the meat fillings for the buns were balanced with cilantro and bright spices. I’m going to make it a point to try all of the versions on the menu during my future visits.

Tsingtao House doesn’t try to cater to the tastes of well-known Americanized Chinese dishes, and it shines because of that. Based on observations from a few visits, this has already become a go-to spot for the collegeaged Chinese crowd, and it should be one for anyone who loves Asian food.

It’s brutal, bombastic and heavy. The five-piece from Atlanta, was originally known as Luti-Kriss (with a few different members) but changed its name due to confusion with the rapper Ludacris of the same city.

Maybe the only thing Norma Jean has in common with Ludacris is their affinity for effrontery.

live “brown-bag” concerts on Wednesdays have been a staple of Rochester music, and lunchtimes, for decades.

The 2015-16 schedule begins next with a presentation by the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. Music director Ward Stare will be conducting Mendelssohn’s Third Symphony, the “Scottish.” If Stare and the orchestra continue to produce the plush sound they did on their opening night, this performance of the lushest of Mendelssohn’s symphonies should be a treat. The concert will be broadcast live on WXXI-FM, introduced

I’ve had enough cassette tapes come across my desk lately that it ceases to be odd anymore. But of all the bands to embrace this retro coolness, Muler beats them all out with a pink cassette of its latest project, “Unlikely Soldiers.” Despite the effete packaging this disc — er, cassette is powerful and yielding like a shadow boxer in free fall.

Muler has been flying the indie flag since the 1980’s. This is classic indie rock like mom — or bands like Guided By Voices — used to make. Recorded at More Sound Studios in Syracuse, “Unlikely Soldiers” exhibits melodic maturity that doesn’t push or try, it just is what it is: a unique stab at alt-rock from a mindset that made the style a renegade sound in the first place. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

The drawing on the cover of John Yao’s new album depicts arms, hands, faces, trombones, saxophones, drums, a piano, and more all fused together into an abstract musical mash-up. It’s a fitting visual for what Yao calls his 17-Piece Instrument. The band’s new album reveals just how appropriate that title is. Yao’s compositions are wildly complex, and his arrangements are imbued with the freedom of a far smaller ensemble, verging on the avant-garde. But his band plays them so tightly, you’d think it was one multi-headed hydra.

Yao is a trombonist who has worked with the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, the AfroLatin Jazz Orchestra, Paquito D’Rivera, and more. He’s gotten to know the best players in New York and they’re part of his “instrument.” Sprinkled throughout the album are masterful solos by Jesse Stacken on piano; Jon Irabagon, Rich Perry, John O’Gallagher and others on sax; Andy Gravish, David Smith, and others on trumpet; and Yao, Louis Bonilla, and others on trombone.

Hip-hop artist Sean Forbes lost his hearing when he was 1. The musician will perform at RIT on Friday, October 9. PHOTO PROVIDED

Feeling the beat Sean Forbes FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9 RIT’S PANARA THEATRE, 52 LOMB MEMORIAL DRIVE 7:30 P.M. | $10 | NTID.RIT.EDU/THEATRE DEAFANDLOUD.COM [ INTERVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE

Sean Forbes is a rapper. A good one, too. But that, in and of itself, isn’t all that extraordinary.

That is until you consider the fact that this young artist can’t hear what he’s doing. Sean Forbes is deaf. It’s a perplexing dichotomy that precedes him: a deaf rapper.

What is admirable about Forbes is his tenacity in the face of living and performing in silence. Forbes’s album, “Perfect Imperfection,” is a video collection done in sign language while set to his music. He’s an inspiring artist who loves what he does. He’s an inspiring artist who loves being deaf.

Forbes got online to field a few questions.

An edited copy of that conversation follows.

City: What’s new in Sean Forbes’s world?

Sean Forbes: My wife and I just became

parents in June to a beautiful little girl. Besides becoming a dad, I just finished recording my sophomore album, and my nonprofit organization D-PAN, The Deaf Professional

14 CITY SEPTEMBER 30 - OCTOBER 6, 2015

Arts Network, just finished another amazing American Sign Language music video that is going to be released very soon. D-PAN is also doing some new stuff outside of music that we’re going to debut in the beginning of 2016.

Why did you choose hip-hop?

I like to think that hip-hop chose me. I grew up on rock and country, but when I felt hip-hop for the first time it resonated with me. I love drums, and I love lyrics so the two are really the forefront of hip-hop; add in a few spices and you’ve got me.

What do you write about lyrically?

I want to use my music to share a message of overcoming adversity and doing what you want to do. I hate songs about rims, girls, and money; those things don’t resonate with me. When I was working on my first album there were a few songs that were just purely positive motivation, then I have a song like “Def Deaf Girls.” Yes it’s about girls, but if you really read the lyrics it’s about liking strong women, especially ones that are deaf. A lot of artists today aren’t necessarily role models, it’s not something that “sells.” But I never wanted to follow the trend and I continue that on my next album.

Have you been deaf since birth?

I have been deaf for as long as I can remember. I lost my hearing at one.

How do you hear or feel music?

I feel music. I feel it both physically and emotionally … I like to think that I’m programmed with it. It’s just a part of my DNA. Are people who see you for the first time surprised you’re deaf?

I get that question a lot: “You’re deaf and you do music?” To me, deafness is an identity. If I wasn’t deaf I wouldn’t have gone to RIT/NTID; I wouldn’t have met all the people that I’ve met; I wouldn’t have travelled the world inspiring thousands of people to chase their dreams just like I did … I love being deaf.

What’s something you can do musically that a hearing performer can’t?

This might sound strange, but when I’m performing, I know the songs, I know where I’m going with the signing and rapping, so it’s almost like a muscle reflex that is natural.

I sometimes watch people’s conversations while I’m performing, and they’ll be asking themselves, “Is he married? I wonder how deaf he is.” Then when the song is done, I point them out and answer their questions. I love to shock people and let them know that I am tuned in.

Are there other hearing impaired artists who have inspired you?

Chuck Baird is an inspiration. When I came onto the “Deaf Scene” I often felt like a misfit because people were like “Who is this guy?

Where did he come from? He’s doing music for the deaf?” It was Chuck, a famous deaf painter who passed away a few years ago, that came up to me and started talking about jazz musicians and how they weren’t accepted, and making a comparison without making a comparison. He made me feel welcome.

I have one of his artworks on the wall right outside my studio, so I see it every time before I go to work on a new song.

What inspires you the most?

Young kids that think they don’t have a future, then I hang out with them and tell them my story, ask them what they want to do, and I ask them, “What’s stopping you,” and they never have an answer. I always encourage them. Giving up is the easiest thing to do, but working hard for what you want is the most rewarding.

What’s next?

I like to fly by the seat of my pants. I like to think I’ve done pretty well for myself taking that approach. It’s not ethical and it wouldn’t work for everyone, but things have happened for me organically and I’m going to continue that. So I’ll ask you: what’s next? rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 15

Studies of Life “Menagerie”

by Robin Cass

THROUGH OCTOBER 31 AXOM GALLERY, 176 ANDERSON AVENUE, 2ND FLOOR TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, 11 A.M. TO 6 P.M. 232-6030; AXOMGALLERY.COM [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Axom Gallery’s current show, “Menagerie,” featuring flame-worked glass and metal by Robin Cass, explores concepts of capturing life through a fictitious version of the natural wonderland that surrounds us. The body of work is based on the tradition of the Wunderkammern, or cabinet of wonders — old-timey collections of rare natural specimens shown off for bragging rights among wealthy European hobbyists — and of the human need to categorize life. In her stunning sculptural work, Cass takes on not just the identity of a natural wonder hunter, but of the creator of life that might be.

18 CITY SEPTEMBER 30 - OCTOBER 6, 2015

“We have an innate need to investigate the world; to observe, record, collect, and present our discoveries for others to appreciate,” Cass says in her provided statement. “The parameters of what is acceptable in terms of collecting, categorizing, and display are constantly shifting depending on cultural context.”

The lobby of the space shows off a dozen intaglio vitreographs: prints of a variety of organic pods that resemble illustrations pulled from the pages of a naturalist’s notebooks or old life science texts. In the gallery proper, realistic specimens seemingly plucked from humid jungle floors or the driest of deserts are suspended from the ceiling within industrial cages. Others are trapped within wall-mounted domes with fixtures that look like what can be described as nautical bell jars. The key element in each is the light flowing into the storage devices, and passing through the translucent glass that make up the fronds and tubes of the plants.

But are these “plants” vegetable, or animal?

A strange sentience seems present in each, particularly the ones that include clusters of bubbly, eye-like structures. Cass titles her

Art Exhibits

fictional creations with names stolen from Latin and mixed with descriptor terms used to describe the components she creates. The defining features are highlighted in these names: “Stigmate paddlepod” is a series of stalks ending in wide, flat vegetation; “Ocular bulbupods with protrusi” has screw-shaped stalks searching for light, and eye-like clear, silvery domes that seem to interpret their surroundings while they act as water reservoirs.

The detail-oriented Cass didn’t just blow glass and be finished with it — each specimen is found in a bed of colored, jewel-like, pebbled soil. Jewel-like is a good way to describe all of the work; each piece has a light-suspending sense of luminous preciousness. Even the simple structures seem alive. “Papiculate tri-stigmata,” with its few pale elements like the eyestalks of snails, seem to wend toward the light slowly under the viewer’s steady eye.

“Ironically, the qualities that animate living organisms are highlighted by captivity and containment,” Cass says. “The rigid materials associated with collection and display devices enhance contrasting biological tissue.”

Just like in the case of wonder cabinets, the stranger the specimen, the more valued it is. “The most prized specimens in any collection are those that diverge from the norm or defy classification,” she says. The works are familiar in their features, yet alien in this particular arrangement of them. The knobby globs of glass that make groups of oculi, the thin stems, and coin-shaped clusters of light-collecting foliage are all elements that might have a place in our world. Here, they are the mad imaginings of a fascinated dreamer.

But the world is wide, and we don’t understand the half of it. This is particularly true when it comes to the tiniest parts of life, and those found in the most exotic, hardest to reach arenas of nature. Yet what may seem like an unlikely arrangements of parts — such as the real-life Condylura cristata, a mole with a star-shaped, fleshy appendage on its nose, native to eastern Canada and the northeastern United States — are rendered alien to us because our different realms, by and large, do not come into contact.

And we can no longer ignore that the human impact on this planet is the cause of mass-decimation of the most fragile parts of it.

So there is another side to the concept of collecting. As with zoos and other “collections” of natural wonders, there is a depressing irony in the fact that so many creatures are kept in collections in the interest of their protection. Cass’s lifelike creations are injected with that same sense of wonder we derive from encountering the strangeness of life’s diversity, while they are a foreboding reminder to safeguard creatures out there in this world, before they only exist within cages and under glass.

HALLOWEEN | CASTLE OF HORRORS

A gruesome zombie outbreak has hit Rochester and the only safe zone is inside the Main Street Armory. The CDC has set up a clear area where patrons will be screened, tested for the infection, and administered a shot to prevent further infection.

But now you’re stuck in the Armory, a building notorious for its hauntings and horrors.

The Castle of Horrors returns this year on Thursday, October 1, for another season of ghouls, ghosts, and gore. About 50,000 square feet of the Armory (900 East Main Street) is transformed into themed rooms and corridors for a heart-stopping haunted house. The Castle of Horrors is open 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Thursdays and Sundays, and 7 p.m. to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. Open through Friday, October 30. $20. castleofhorrors.com. — BY JAKE CLAPP

Mind Body Spirit THEATER | “NEWSIES”

TO ADVERTISE IN THE MIND BODY SPIRIT SECTION CALL CHRISTINE AT 244.3329 x23 OR EMAIL CHRISTINE@ROCHESTER-CITYNEWS.COM

Inspired by the Newsboy Strike of 1899, the Tony - award winning production, “Newsies” visits Rochester and shares the story of Jack Kelly. A newsboy, and leader of other teenaged newsies, Kelly hopes for a better life in New York City at the time of the turn of the century.

THEATER | “SIGNS OF TROUBLE”

Shel Silverstein is well known for his every-family-has-a-copy children’s book, “The Giving Tree,” but the man had an incredible career as a poet, cartoonist, singer-songwriter — he wrote Johnny Cash’s “A Boy Named Sue” — and a playwright.

Starting this Friday, SuperEgo Studios will present 10 of Silverstein’s more adult one-act plays in “Signs of Trouble: A Collection of Adult Only Comedies by Shel Seilverstein” at MuCCC (142 Atlantic Avenue). Directed by Zach Stasz and produced by Elliott Pruitt, “Signs of Trouble” will feature a cast of seven actors rotating through the one-acts that “got it all, from down on their luck sign salesmen, to dogs masquerading as hustbands.”

“Signs of Trouble” will run Friday, October 2, through Sunday, October 4, and again on Thursday, October 8, through Sunday, October 11, at MuCCC. 8 p.m. on Thursday, Fridays, and Saturdays; 1 p.m. on Sundays. $15-$20. muccc.org.

Working girl “The Intern”

as “charming” and “pleasant.” Meyers’s latest, “The Intern,” is a gentle fable of gender and generational politics, and is, well, perfectly charming in its low-key sort of way.

Anne Hathaway plays young go-getter Jules Ostin, the founder of Brooklyn-based online clothing retailer About the Fit. The website’s massive success has come faster than anyone expected, and now she’s getting pressure from her investors to bring on an experienced CEO to oversee the business. An overworked, struggling-to-have-itall type, Jules has so much on her plate she even forgets that she’s approved the creation of a senior internship program until the day it’s set to begin.

Enter Ben Whittaker (Robert De Niro), a 70-year-old widower who returns to the workforce not out of necessity (which would have been more realistic) but out of boredom. He misses the hustle and bustle of a job, along with the sense of purpose it provides. An old school man’s man, he arrives at the office in suit and tie, and he shows the hip, tech-savvy whippersnappers how it’s done.

His competence, affability, and loyalty quickly make him

(PG-13), DIRECTED BY NANCY MEYERS NOW PLAYING [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

As a director, Nancy Meyers’s style is almost aggressively plain and unobtrusive, yet there’s no mistaking her films for anyone else’s. Known for her attention to detail when it comes to dressing her sets, she makes movies that sometimes feel more like tasteful home decor catalogs than motion pictures, and typically revolve around low-conflict plots about the trials and tribulations of being an affluent, white Baby Boomer. They’re the type of films you find yourself describing

indispensable around the office and to Jules as he’s assigned to be her assistant, eventually adding personal driver and mentor to his list of duties.

He even has time to start up a romance with the office’s house masseuse (Rene Russo, quite good but without much to do. She’s also a decade younger than De Niro, but in Hollywood years, I suppose that’s close enough).

Even in kindly grandfather mode, De Niro is much too sharp to play the clueless old man, so we’re thankfully spared any bumbling geriatric humor. If anything, the script veers too much the other way; Ben often seems too good to be true. But then, Meyers’s films are always at least 50 percent fantasy, so I suppose that’s in keeping with things. De Niro has fun joking around with his young male office-mates (played by Adam DeVine, Zack Pearlman, and Jason Orley; all likeable and seemingly thrilled to be sharing the screen with a legend like De Niro), while he and Hathaway share an appealing chemistry that makes their eventual friendship easy to buy. Here I’ll put your fears to rest and assure you that their relationship remains an entirely platonic one.

Meyers has her own, somewhat old-fashioned worldview and injects it into her films even when it doesn’t suit her story. You can often hear her opinions coming out of her characters mouths. When Jules expresses dismay over the decline of the type of masculinity represented by pinnacles of manhood like Harrison Ford and Jack Nicholson, it feels exactly like something a woman in her mid-60’s might say.

Wars of perception “Pawn Sacrifice” (PG-13), DIRECTED BY EDWARD ZWICK NOW PLAYING

“Al Helm: Martin Luther King in Palestine” (NR), DIRECTED BY CONNIE FIELD SCREENS MONDAY, OCTOBER 5, 6:45 P.M., AT THE LITTLE [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

Everything takes place in and around the plush houses and office settings Meyers’s character inhabit. Impeccably decorated interiors are what Meyers films have become known for, and Kristi Zea’s immaculate production design doesn’t disappoint. The film’s light, breezy vibe is in keeping with the luxurious tone set by the decor, and the script tackles incidents as they come along. There’s a mid-movie comedic heist sequence that feels as though it was beamed in from a different — much zanier — film, but I didn’t mind; it breaks up the constant speechifying the characters tend to engage in as the film goes on. There’s also a subplot involving Jules’s marital issues with her stay-at-home-dad husband (Anders Holm), that’s completely unnecessary but deserves credit for being handled in a way that’s refreshingly adult. By the end, every plotline gets wrapped up neatly, as they must in films of this type.

On some level, the advice Ben dispenses to Jules can be taken as mansplaining, though it doesn’t come across as condescending and the film never suggests that Jules should feel badly for spending so much time with her work, even when it limits her time acting as wife and mother. That alone seems somewhat progressive, far removed from the messages we typically see espoused by workplace-centered romantic comedies. Still, it’s frustrating that Meyers feels that a successful, independent woman like Jules — who singlehandedly built her own company — would even need those sort of pep talks in the first place.

While portraying tormented chess prodigy Bobby Fischer, Tobey Maguire delivers a solid performance in Edward Zwick’s effective, if conventional biopic, “Pawn Sacrifice.” Choosing to focus mostly on Fischer’s 1972 showdown against Soviet grandmaster Boris Spassky (a terrific Liev Schreiber), Zwick and screenwriter Steven Knight paint Fischer’s early life in broad strokes. We get a CliffsNotes version of Fischer’s childhood living with his mother (Robin Weigert), whose ties to the Communist party landed their family on an FBI watch list. Though their relationship is a complicated one, his mother recognizes Bobby’s talent for chess and finds a teacher, Carmine Nigro (Conrad Pla), to nurture his gifts. Under his tutelage, Bobby rises through the world of competitive chess.

At a time when tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union are

at an all-time high, Fischer became an unlikely hero for Americans looking to confirm their country’s superiority during its war of perceptions. Competing against the seemingly unbeatable Russians, Bobby comes across as a poor, plucky kid from Brooklyn taking on the whole Soviet empire.

Everything builds up to the World Chess Championship in Reykjavík, Iceland, and Fischer’s series of matches against the stoic Spassky. Along the way Bobby receives support from his handlers, including his lawyer and manager, Paul Marshall (Michael Stuhlbarg), and his coach, Bill Lombardy (Peter Sarsgaard, reliably great). Together, the two men are tasked with keeping him focused and on course.

A former chess champ turned priest, Lombardy seems to have led an interesting enough life to be the subject of his own film. It’s this section, in which Fischer struggles to overcome his mental state (and occasionally uses it to his advantage) that the film is at its taut, nail-biting best.

It’d be easy for any actor playing Fischer to focus on the more eccentric details.

Fischer suffered from undiagnosed mental illness and at the height of his popularity, he grew increasingly delusional, demonstrating paranoid behavior and psychosis. He grows fixated on anti-communist and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories (the latter especially ironic considering the fact that Fischer was himself Jewish). Knight never attempts to explain the source of this behavior, though there is an interesting discussion between Marshall and Lombardy that tiptoes into a discussion about whether the obsessive nature of chess attracts those with mental illness, or causes it. It all seems like a license to overact, but for the most part Maguire underplays it, making us wonder what’s going on in his head, a choice that’s particularly effective during the tense chess matches late in the film.

Fischer is a compelling figure and his story is a fascinating one, though Zwick often seems determined to smother it

The Witness Palestine film series

draws attention to the human rights issues raised by the Middle East conflict between Israel and Palestine; the series explores stories of the people directly affected by the violence and turmoil.

In “Al Helm: Martin Luther King in Palestine” director Connie Field chronicles an American gospel group’s 2011 trip to the West Bank in order to perform an original theater production about the life of Martin Luther King Jr. alongside actors from the Palestinian National Theater. The hope of both parties is to encourage Palestinian audiences to see the parallels between King’s fight for civil rights and their own experiences, hopefully leading citizens to take up nonviolent civil disobedience.

Field’s cameras capture the gradual process of these very different groups coming together, and their collaboration is the most compelling sections of the film.

After the first full performance, there’s a tiff between the play’s American writer and Palestinian director over changes made to the play’s ending, and cast and crew sit down to debate the alterations. This leads to a fascinating discussion about how our culture leads us to absorb certain material differently. Through these interactions, we learn the true consequences of living in a culture that knows nothing but upheaval.

There’s sadness and heartbreak, but “Al Helm” is ultimately hopeful, capturing the power of art to connect, educate, inspire, and even foster change.

I AM TRYING TO BREAK YOUR HEART

SUNRISE: A SONG OF TWO HUMANS

Conceived as a documentary about the making of what became Wilco’s most popular album, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, this film became a classic David and Goliath story wherein artistic integrity triumphs over crass commercial interests. Award-winning photographer and first-time director Sam Jones captured a critical time in the evolution of the band.

A rockumentary or a drama, this movie appeals to die-hard Wilco fans and the uninitiated alike. (Sam Jones, US 2002, 92 min., 35mm) Before the film, John Link will perform acoustic renditions of Wilco’s songs in the Dryden lobby, and after, we’ll move the party to Skylark (40 S. Union St.), where Link will perform with a full band. Part of the series Museum Treasures.

Acclaimed German director F.W. Murnau’s (Nosferatu, The Last Laugh) first Hollywood film elicited extraordinary praise from the critics.

Lighting, camera angles and movement, acting style, judicious use of sound effects and music—all are smoothly integrated to tell the simple story of a man torn between his sweet country wife and a “vamp” from the city. The culmination of the silent cinema and a harbinger of things to come, Sunrise won three Oscars, including one for its Unique and Artistic Quality of Production. (F.W. Murnau, US 1927, 97 min., 35mm) Part of the series Silent Tuesdays and The Legacy of James Card.

Attempting to convey Fischer’s erratic mindset, he resorts to shaky, handheld camera moves and often relies on montages of 16mm faux newsreel footage and obvious musical cues to function as transitions between the film’s sections. Still, the film’s depiction of an unusual time in history when the attentions of the entire world could be focused on the outcome of a chess match is never less than gripping.

Ready and Waiting on Rugby 28 Rugby Avenue There are not many historic houses on the market that are truly move-in ready. This one is. Just bring your pictures to hang, arrange the furniture, and settle into your new home. Located in the friendly 19th Ward neighborhood, this attractive 1910 house contains 2,268 square feet of space, which has been completely renovated, inside and out. A classic American Foursquare, the house features an all brick first floor, vinyl on the second floor, and freshly painted wood trim—all in pristine condition. The handsome front sitting porch is supported by three bold columns on each corner with a wood balustrade connecting each. It’s the perfect place to enjoy the outdoors and chat with your neighbors. The main entrance is located off a sidewalk on one side of the house; on the opposite side, the driveway leads to a one-car garage in the rear.

The glazed wood entrance door opens into a small vestibule and the main hallway. To the right and facing the front of the house is the spacious living room. Light pours through the pair of French doors leading to the front porch as well as windows flanking the doors. At one end of the room is a fireplace, with new tiles on the facing and hearth, and a simple bracketed mantel. Beside the fireplace are open-shelved bookcases, with a cupboard beneath, and glazed square windows above. Opposite the living room is the formal dining room, again with light pouring through the grouping of three

windows, as well as a window with a bench and storage compartment. Walk through the newly furbished pantry area into the kitchen with all new tile floors and backsplash, granite counters, and wood cupboards. An open corner with wainscoting provides a cozy spot for a small breakfast table and a couple of chairs. A back door leads to a small porch and the partially fenced yard. A powder room is located next to the kitchen.

Access to the second floor is by a servant’s stairs or the main staircase off the front hall, which has new carpeting that continues throughout each of the four comfortable bedrooms. One of the back bedrooms has access to a small open sitting porch. The attractive full bathroom features its original tiled walls and floor and a new vanity.

The 19th Ward Community Association, now celebrating its 50th anniversary, is an active group that hosts numerous events, including candlelight dinners, a June Square Fair, and a biannual house tour--this year on Saturday, October 17. Other area amenities include the Arnett Library, Genesee Valley Park, Westside Farmer’s Market, and easy access to downtown and nearby restaurants.

This well-maintained property is offered at $94,900. Contact Tina Zwetsch at Nothnagle Realtors (585-820-2242).

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD

From Cuba, With Love

One of the remaining 116 Guantanamo Bay prisoners (a man suspected of having been close to Osama bin Laden) has a dating profile on Match.com captioned “detained but ready to mingle,” the man’s lawyer Carlos Warner told Al Jazeera America in September. Muhammad Rahim al-Afghani has relentlessly proclaimed his innocence, and Warner released a series of charming letters from his client intended to humanize him. Al-Afghani commented on Lebron James, Caitlyn Jenner, the Ashley Madison website and, for some reason, South Dakota, but with the recent publicity, Match.com appears to have suspended the account.

Latest Self-Declared Right

Officials in Carroll County, Maryland, finally released a woman in August after she had been detained for 67 days — just for declining to give her name to a traffic patrolman (who had stopped her for a broken taillight). In her idiosyncratic understanding of the U.S. Constitution’s Fifth Amendment, to “not be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against (herself)” means keeping her identity hidden from police. Eventually, sheriff’s deputies captured her fingerprints, and since they matched no outstanding warrants, she was released.

Leading Economic Indicators

— Adam Partridge Auctioneers in Liverpool announced in September that

the equivalent of $10,000 would be the starting bid on a two-pound mass of whale vomit (hardened into a chunk by aging in ocean waters) picked up by a beachcomber in Wales. BBC News reported that a six-pound hunk once sold for the equivalent of $150,000; when aged into “ambergris,” the putrid waste product turns waxy and sweetsmelling and proves valuable to “highend perfume houses.”

— An international property rental service recently found a seven-bedroom castle on 200 acres in Ringuette, France, for the equivalent of $2,925 a month — which San Francisco’s KNTV immediately contrasted with the listing of a 401-square-foot apartment in the city’s Lower Haight district, offered at $3,000 per month. Another French castle (six bedrooms, a pool, three-acre garden, “several lawns”) rents for the equivalent of $4,940 — about what a three-bedroom on Collins Street in San Francisco goes for.

— Marie Holmes tearfully disclosed in March how the $88 million Powerball lump sum she had won would allow her to finish college and help her four kids (one with cerebral palsy). Right away, though, her boyfriend, Lamar “Hot Sauce” McDow, was charged with drug trafficking and needed $3 million bail, which she took care of. Then, in August, in Brunswick County, North Carolina, “Hot Sauce” was arrested again, for selling heroin, and reporters surmised that Holmes must have been the one who posted that $6 million bail. (Holmes addressed her critics on Facebook: “What Y’all need to be worried about is Y’all money ....”)

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 28 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’ll face plenty of temptation. Avoid getting involved with anyone who may still be attached to someone else. You are best not to get involved with anyone you work with. Don’t be surprised if you quickly lose interest in someone who pursues you with persistence.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ll attract plenty of attention and suitors, but not all will be right for you. Your ability to choose someone who fits into your lifestyle is questionable this week, with emotions overruling common sense and chemistry taking over. Think before you make a poor choice.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You will capture someone’s interest with your versatility and ability to share information and knowledge about so many different topics. Express your goals and don’t be shy about what you do and do not like, and you will weed out anyone who isn’t strong enough to stand by your side.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Let’s get physical. If you meet someone you are attracted to, don’t hold back or be shy. Put your best foot forward, and be open about your intentions. You may get mixed reactions from various people you approach, but the one who is smitten with

your plans will be a keeper.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your willingness to go above and beyond in order to please someone will leave you in a vulnerable position. Strive for equality, not possession, when it comes to love and a lifelong commitment.

You need a partner, not someone looking for a free ride.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Communication, travel, socializing or even joining a dating service will all lead to love and romance. Take an active part in finding love, and you will. You can’t sit at home and expect someone to come looking for you. Get out and participate in life, and love will find you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You might have trouble making up your mind when it comes to love. Your options will be plentiful, but your motives may be torn between the person you are physically attracted to and the one who has more to offer.

Make your choice wisely, or you will have regrets.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Temper your pushy or possessive approach to love. Don’t let your emotions take over, causing a ruckus, if someone doesn’t show you the same amount of affection in return.

Slow down and give the person you are attracted to a chance to fall in love with you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Bragging will get you into trouble. Don’t tell someone you are something you are not. You can’t buy love or make unrealistic promises and expect someone of substance to stick around. If you are fun to be with and sincere about the way you feel, that should be sufficient.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Problems will arise if you talk too much. Show someone how you feel if you want to get your point across. Do something that will map out your future plans by presenting the object of your affection with something special that says, “I love you.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Keep your emotions hidden, and focus more on the moment and having fun with someone you deem special.

The mental interaction and playful spontaneity you offer will be all that’s required to lasso the heart and devotion you are looking for in return.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Keep a clear head when it comes to picking a partner.

Don’t entertain getting involved with someone who possesses a conflict of interest or who might jeopardize your position. Keep business and personal life separate, and you’ll avoid getting involved in a no-win situation.
