THE AMERICAN DREAM

continues from page 9

Muhammad Shafiq: The media’s influence The media haven’t been kind to Muslims. Hollywood has helped create an unsavory image of Muslims, says Nazareth’s Muhammad Shafiq. “Hollywood, even before 9/11, had a history of portraying Muslims, particularly Arab Muslims, as terrorists, thieves, nomads, and burglars,” he says. After 9/11, cable news programs began covering the conflicts abroad extensively, which is their responsibility and their business. But there are unintended consequences from more than 15 years of that type of coverage. “If you say that Islam is a very peaceful religion and then people bring you so many disturbing images, it creates a very difficult situation,” Shafiq says. “Seeing what’s happening in Syria, Yemen, and virtually all over the Middle East, it creates a very bad image of Muslims. And Muslims here in Rochester are horrified by that. And many think because of it, Americans will hate them.” Shafiq says that he is concerned about what this may do to young Muslims.

“It creates something in the human mind: ‘Something is wrong with me,’” he says. “That psyche, getting that out of the Muslim mind, is going to need a lot more work.” The media has also contributed to an exaggerated sense of the threat from Muslim Americans, he says. For example, studies by the Centre for Research on Globalization cite the work of Charles Kurzman, a professor of sociology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Using FBI data, Kurzman found that from 9/11 through 2012, 33 Americans were killed as a result of Muslim-related terrorism. During that same period, “180,000 Americans were murdered for reasons unrelated to terrorism,” Kurzman says. And the Pew Research Center reported earlier this year that Muslims could be the second-largest religious group in the US by 2050 if current demographic trends continue. It’s a trend that may make some non-Muslim Americans uncomfortable, especially when it is filtered through a lens that portrays Muslims as violent in nature.

Bulent Ozdemir: Getting to acceptance “We are trying to create a platform for dialogue,” says Bulent Ozdemir, executive director of the Turkish Cultural Center of Rochester. The center opened in 2002 and provides social and Turkish heritage activities for the estimated 5,000 Turkish people, largely Muslims, living in the Rochester area. But Ozdemir says that the Turkish Center is also creating a cultural bridge between Muslims and the Rochester community, regardless of faith or ethnicity. “We have everything here from cooking classes to friendship gatherings,” he says. “We even have a trip to Turkey program.” Ozdemir came to the US from Turkey in 2001 while his brother worked on his graduate degree in Rochester. “I feel like I am an American,” he says. “I have spent my most productive years here. I have many friends here. After getting to know each other, we have no real differences.” Similar to the Turkish Center, Nazareth’s Center for Interfaith Studies emphasizes education and service to the community as keys to greater acceptance. Nazareth’s Shafiq says that many people forget that Catholics, for example, weren’t initially welcomed in the US. And he says

that he often encourages Muslims to learn from how Catholics found acceptance in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. “I say to Muslims, ‘God has blessed you and led you to America,’” Shafiq says. “What you need to do is what the Catholics did: open charities, free clinics, schools, hospitals, and shelter homes. Let people see that we are part of the American dream.” Ozdemir says that he tries to involve as many what he calls “helping hands” at the Turkish Center as possible. Muslims have to live by example, he says, and the fears about Islam and Muslims will eventually go away. “Islam is a beautiful religion,” he says. “With our actions every day we can promote peace. In Islam, if you kill one person, you kill all humanity. If you save one person, you save humanity.”

Tell the truth about the tax rate If a landlord who previously included utilities in the rent started charging tenants for water or electric usage but kept the rent the same, would we applaud that landlord? So why do we applaud Maggie Brooks for keeping the tax rate the same by increasing fees and chargebacks? The press should report the bottom-line impact to residents. Whether the amount is called a tax or a fee, at the end of the day it’s still an increase to residents. Ignoring this only encourages the county government to get more creative with pulling expenses out of the budget and reclassifying them as fees. MAGGIE SYMINGTON

School board should hire Cala

Rochesterians constantly read and hear about how the City School District lacks the money to fix the problems in its schools. I have a small, yet reasonable suggestion. The district can save between $150,000 and $200,000 by not contracting with an outside consulting firm to conduct a national search for a new superintendent and instead hiring Dr. William Cala to fill the role. Dr. Cala has the commitment and the proven experience as an outstanding school leader. He truly understands the relationship between effective teaching and learning; a required skillset to move the district forward. The district can distribute the savings among its elementary schools, secondary 2 CITY

schools, and school programs. It’s not a bonanza for schools by any means, but where would you rather see your tax dollars going, to a high-priced consulting firm or to the schools and their students? Dr. Cala demonstrated his administrative competence during his brief stint as interim RCSD superintendent several years ago. With an $800 million annual budget, city schools are still struggling. The board must hire a long-established leader who knows how to improve academic achievement while working collaboratively with community stakeholders, parents, administrators, teachers, staff, and local agencies. The best person for the job is sitting in our own back yard, ready and apparently willing to serve. D. LLEWELLYN

Breast cancer stories inspire

Great story (Completing the canvas, November 18)! TeeJay is well known and dearly loved in the breast cancer survivor community. Deep gratitude to Debbie and Kyra for being so open in sharing their deeply personal experiences. I would add that choosing to get a tattoo is a personal decision and one that was right for these two women. There are many reasons women decide to forgo this step, with the full support of boyfriends/partners. Also the statistic cited about recurrence in the other breast may have been accurate for Kyra, but this is definitely not the case for the majority of women. Thank you for spotlighting two amazing women and their truly gifted and talented tattooist. Breast cancer may wreak havoc on lives, but a willingness to share stories like these reduces the isolation and despair that so many women and men feel. HOLLY MCGREGOR ANDERSON

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Forcing Urbanski out won’t help city students Faced with yet more challenges in the Rochester school district, the public reaction – “get rid of Adam Urbanski” – has been predictable. Urbanski has headed the Rochester teachers union for 34 years, making him an easy target. But that’s misguided. And focusing on him diverts attention from the real roots of the district’s problems: the severe poverty in which many students live and the community’s failure to deal with that poverty and its impact – some of that failure based in racism. The school district has been in crisis for a long time, and the school board’s decision to not renew Superintendent Bolgen Vargas’s contract has added to the tension. But Adam Urbanski is not the reason thousands of Rochester children fail to graduate. And he’s not the reason thousands of Rochester children who do graduate lack the knowledge and skills to enter college or get a job. Rochester’s child poverty rate is among the worst in the nation. And this is a highly segregated community, racially and economically. Growing research indicates that living in high-poverty neighborhoods has a debilitating effect on many residents. Poverty and isolation can snuff out hope and breed violence, and all this causes real, documentable trauma, especially in children. Contributing to that poverty, and exacerbating it, is racism. The South’s history of brutal racism and segregation is well documented, but as the current presidential campaign shows, racism knows no geographic boundaries. And that it may sometimes be unconscious makes it no less harmful. Local activists have charged for years that too many Rochester teachers and administrators treat children of color differently than they treat white children. The district’s own data, included in a report by Metro Justice and other activist groups, indicate that in 2012-2013, black students in Rochester were suspended more than twice as often as white students, Latino students 1.45 times as often. Significantly, 88 percent of the suspensions were for non-violent offenses – usually for disruptive behavior. Disruptive behavior is disruptive. Teachers can’t do their job if students are talking or fighting, and certainly, teachers should be adequately trained to keep students engaged in class. But some students’ behavior is much more than “disruptive.” During a protest at the school board meeting last week, Edison teachers told of verbal assaults and threats, students shoving them against the wall as they tried to break up fights, large groups of students skipping class and hanging out in halls smoking pot.

An attack on Urbanski is an attack on teachers, and that distracts us from the enormous challenge ahead of us.”

For several years, the district has struggled to find a way to deal with students’ behavior problems without suspending students. Too often, seemingly good ideas weren’t executed well. Too little staffing. Too little training. Too little communication. Too little funding. Too little oversight. Earlier this year came more ideas, from a district Task Force on School Climate. Its recommendations included training staff better on how to help students who need support, improving parent engagement, and mandatory anti-racism training. That is important, and it will take all of that and more. Certainly teachers must be receptive to change. But teachers are not miracle workers. They are not psychologists, and they are not social workers. And public attacks on teachers – and an attack on Urbanski is an attack on teachers, who elected him to lead their union – distracts us from the enormous challenge ahead of us. Some of Urbanski’s critics say that as student achievement has declined, Adam Urbanski has been the one constant. Nope. The big constants have been poverty, its concentration in city neighborhoods, and racism. Attacking those constants will take enormous effort and leadership, by the entire community – city and suburban, public sector and regional business people, elected officials of all parties, unions, activist groups, and ordinary citizens. Calling for Adam Urbanski to resign may make us feel good. But can we just stop throwing stones and start addressing the problems of poverty and racism, together? rochestercitynewspaper.com

High-class dog hotel planned for Penfield The former Camp Haccamo site in Penfield could soon house a highend dog hotel. Developer Frank Imburgia owns the 11 acre parcel, which is tucked between Route 441, Panorama Trail, Allen Creek, and Thermo Fisher Scientific. Imburgia’s representatives say that the proposal is modeled after luxe canine accommodations in cities including Chicago and Los Angeles. The proposal will likely require a zoning change, says Jim Costello, Penfield’s director of developmental services. The property is in a light industrial district that doesn’t allow for operations such as kennels or

animal boarding facilities, he says. One option may be to rezone the parcel, and an adjacent parcel that will likely be developed soon, for general business, he says. The dog hotel would be no mere kennel. Each pup would get his or her own private room — there will probably be suites for dog families, too — and at least some of the rooms would have flat-panel TV’s, Imburgia’s representatives told town officials. The dogs may go outside in small groups for walks, the reps say, but otherwise they’ll stay inside the hotel, which would have a pool, playroom, training area, and grooming salon.

Camp Haccamo left the Penfield site in 2008 and moved to Rochester Rotary’s Sunshine Campus in Rush. It left behind a collection of buildings on the property, which attract trespassers, Costello says, and have become a nuisance. Imburgia’s representatives say that they’re ready to clear the site as early as January, provided that they get the sense that the town is dog-hotel friendly. Town Board members say that they’re open to the proposal, but that they want to be thoughtful about changing the property’s zoning.

“Stemming the flow of refugees is the immediate crisis facing both Europe and the US, but that will be difficult without resolving the root causes of the Syrian conflict and making a clear commitment to destroy ISIS.” [ ROBERT GERACE ]

TERRORISM | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Professor: No end to refugee crisis without defeating ISIS The attacks in Paris need to be seen in context, says Robert Gerace, a retired captain in the US Naval Reserve Intelligence Program. Gerace is a professor at Rochester Institute of Technology where he has taught counterterrorism measures. US efforts to degrade and destroy ISIS obviously haven’t gone as expected, he says. You get what you tolerate, he says, and the US is tolerating the growth and expansion of the Islamic State. “We have significantly downsized our troop strength in Iraq,” he says. “Into that power vacuum, ISIS-ISIL has emerged, building an army of 20,000 to 30,000 strong. Our effort to train moderate rebels to fight in Syria has been a complete failure.” The US does not seem to have a clear strategy for defeating rather than containing ISIS, Gerace says. While the US has military aircraft and weapons systems costings millions of dollars, he says, terrorists can build an improvised explosive device for $85 and create havoc. And given that the country is entering an election year, it will be a couple more years before a new president takes office

and develops a strategy to deal with ISIS. Meanwhile, he says, Syria has lost roughly one-third of its population. Stemming the flow of refugees is the immediate crisis facing both Europe and the US, Gerace says, but that will be difficult without resolving the root causes of the Syrian conflict and making a clear commitment to destroy ISIS. Jens David Ohlin, a professor of law at Cornell University, says that it’s important to keep in mind that the US is not at war with Islam or Muslims. Using terms like “radical Islam” doesn’t help the situation, he says. “I think specificity is the name of the game,” Ohlin says. “We should be naming our enemy and our enemy here is ISIS.” Ohlin says that the only way to defeat ISIS is to engage the help of moderate Muslims in the region and through better Robert Gerace.

UR assessing campus climate University of Rochester President Joel Seligman has formed a commission on race and diversity “to address the broader questions of how we best can create an environment that is safe, supportive and welcoming for all in our community,” he said in a statement. The commission will by the end of January 2016 provide Seligman with an assessment of the state of the climate on campus for all races; programs that strengthened this climate; elements of campus life that are creating an unhealthy campus climate; and recommendations for improvement. One of the recommendations will address whether to bar the social media site Yik Yak from the UR wireless network. A number of racist posts have been made on the site, Seligman said. In one instance, he said, “there was encouragement of sexual assault against a specific individual.” A petition from the Minority Student Advisory Board, the Spanish and Latino students’ associations, the Douglass Leadership House, and the Black Students’ Union asks for immediate changes on the UR campus. Seligman commended the students for the petition and for a march that they organized. He also approved a campus-wide survey of faculty and staff to assess the campus climate, with results due by May 2016. The commission will also hold a series of public meetings at the River Campus, the Medical Center, and the Eastman School of Music.

Paris may be last, best chance to achieve carbon cuts All eyes are on Paris. The world reacted to the horrific attacks that killed 129 people and injured many more with shock, grief, anger, and fear. But many people also look at the City of Light with optimism; Paris refused to let the violence prevent it from hosting the crucial United Nations climate treaty talks that start on November 30. Long before the attacks, climate activist groups across the globe organized marches in dozens of cities for November 29, the day before the talks start. (French and UN officials have nixed the Paris march out of security concerns). The events are meant to show world leaders that the people they represent want them to commit to meaningful action on climate change. The Rochester People’s Climate Coalition has organized a local march for 1 p.m. on November 29, starting at St. Luke and St. Simon Cyrene Episcopal Church, 17 South Fitzhugh Street. “This is an existential issue,” says Abigail McHugh-Grifa, a committee member of the Rochester People’s Climate Coalition. “If we don’t deal with it now, we are going to really regret it. And for the future generations, for my children, it’s not right, it’s not fair.” Human-influenced climate change is a dire problem. Without global carbonemissions cuts, the worst effects of the shifting climate are likely to play out, including sea level rise, changes in precipitation patterns, crop disruptions, and an increase in the frequency and intensity of heatwaves, destructive storms, and droughts. The Paris summit, some scientists and many environmentalists say, may be one of the last chances for world leaders to work out a meaningful plan to slash carbon emissions. The talks will be the 21st time that world leaders have convened to negotiate a climate agreement, but previous pacts haven’t done enough. An international agreement would only be a beginning, McHugh-Grifa says. Governments large and small, as well as the public, have to take further steps. That’s why the RPCC came up with “12 Days of Climate: Paris Talks, We Act.” RPCC members developed two actions that people can take on each of the 12 days of the summit; the calendar is available at http://tinyurl. 6 CITY

com/12DaysRoc. For example, December 7 is devoted to eating less meat; livestock operations create substantial carbon emissions. “Eating less meat is not like torture, it actually means it opens up this whole other realm of delicious foods you can eat,” McHugh-Grifa says. “I think people think it’s about deprivation and it’s not. It’s about finding alternatives.” The first major step toward a global climate agreement came in 1989, when the World Meteorological Organization and the UN Environment Programme established the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The panel compiles climate data from the world’s top scientists and research institutions to serve as the basis of UN climate talks; the third IPCC report, released last year, warns that climate change is here, that it must be addressed, and that countries are not prepared for its effects. Close to 200 UN members first agreed to cut carbon emissions and to provide assistance to developed or developing countries during the 1992 Rio Earth Summit. The nations inked their first treaty, the Kyoto Protocol, in 1997. The treaty was meant to drive down global carbon emissions through agreed-upon targets for industrial nations. The United States had a chance to lead the rest of the world, and we blew it. The agreement was negotiated under President Bill Clinton, but Congress never ratified it, and so the United

States, the world’s biggest economy and one of its biggest carbon polluters, never became an official participant. President George W. Bush officially withdrew the country from the treaty. Congress hasn’t passed climate legislation, either, and President Barack Obama has resorted to executive and regulatory actions to drive down domestic carbon emissions. Congressional Republicans continue to fight those efforts, though some GOP House members, including New York Representatives Chris Gibson, Tom Reed, and Elise Stefanik, acknowledge climate change and the need for federal action on it. Other large nations, notably China, have used America’s intransigence on climate change as an excuse to avoid making carbon reduction commitments. But that dynamic is changing. US and Chinese officials reached a deal earlier this year for both countries to make efforts to slash their carbon emissions. And they’re bringing that pact to Paris, just as other countries are bringing their own emissions reduction plans. “There’s real hope for this conference, in part because countries have been stepping up,” McHugh-Grifa says. “The agreement between the US and China is a huge deal. In the past, US and China have been the main obstructionists to getting something done, and now they are at the table and showing commitment. That right there is a really encouraging sign.”

The longer the world waits to take action, the more drastic those efforts will have to be. And drastic actions are a tough sell to the public and politicians; that’s part of what makes the Paris talks so urgent. The nations are also likely to revisit other initiatives at the conference, including aid funds for developing countries and a clean energy fund backed by some large global banks. Climate change has always been a

humanitarian issue; its symptoms disproportionately impact poorer countries, communities, and populations who may not have the resources to adapt or cope. For example, an increase in the number or intensity of droughts will mean more water and food shortages, which in turn may cause conflicts over resources or lead people to leave their homes or communities for new places. Some environmental and aid groups see the Paris attacks as a reminder that many parts of the planet are already tense places and that climate change has the potential to exacerbate existing rifts and to create new strife. Those tensions will spill beyond individual countries and continents to become global problems. In an e-mail sent to supporters the day after the attacks, the international climate advocacy group 350.org said that the Paris event is not just a climate summit, it is a peace summit. Climate change “fans the flames of conflict in many parts of the world,” but the global movement to address it is bringing people together to work toward a common goal, despite borders or cultural differences, the e-mail said. The Rev. Ruth Ferguson, rector at Christ Church, an Episcopal parish in Rochester, says that the summit is a chance for world leaders to address some of climate change’s moral questions, but also to begin partnerships that extend into other areas of international relations. It’s a chance for countries to start healing rifts, Ferguson says, some having grown out of foreign policy practices geared toward controlling or influencing oil-producing regions. It’s an opportunity to move forward peacefully, as “one humanity,” she says. “The destruction of the earth is so tied in to our destruction of one another and our need to control others and dominate them and get at their resources,” Ferguson says.

THE AMERICAN DREAM Give us your weary,

your scared, your resolved CULTURE | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

he horrific attacks in Paris, the suicide bombings in Beirut, and the downing of a Russian airliner all point to something bordering on the existential. If some people found comfort in the belief that ISIS can’t cause chaos and destruction well beyond Iraq and Syria, they’ve been violently disabused of that notion. And with some people, the Paris attacks have also raised fundamental questions about whether Islam truly is a peaceful religion that has been co-opted by a few radical groups, or if it’s something much darker. Embedded in all of this seems to be growing antiMuslim sentiment. Hate crimes have declined in recent years in all of the categories that the FBI tracks, except for hate crimes against Muslims. That category is ticking upward.

Even though thousands of Americans lost their lives in the nightmarish events of September 11, 2001, that day forever changed the lives of Muslims living in the US, too. And more than 10 years later, after US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the rise of ISIS, the mass migration of Syrians, and now the attacks on Paris, a steady wave of news, much of it negative, involving Muslims is the new normal. Since the US Census doesn’t collect data on religions, estimates of the number of Muslims living in the US range from fewer than two million to as many as seven million, according to a 2011 report from the Council on Foreign Relations. But almost everyone agrees that the number is growing rapidly, which is helping to fuel concerns about accepting Syrian refugees.

All Muslims are obviously not the same and there isn’t a single experience that defines them. But several Muslims living in the Rochester area reveal interesting and at times troubling experiences. Rochester is for the most part a welcoming city, they say, but this is a precarious and challenging time. While most of the public’s attention is directed at the conflicts abroad, the Rochesterians say, many Muslims face a less understood struggle at home. Many say that they are deeply hurt and offended by the disturbing portrayals of their culture, and that they feel compelled to wage their own quiet public relations campaign to reassure the broader public that they have nothing to fear from them. But some say finding that acceptance is challenging and that they expect it to remain that way for years to come.

Seeing how well coordinated the attacks were and how the violence continued to unfold in Paris and its northern suburb shocked Abid, a young Rochester Muslim who identifies as a first-generation Palestinian-American.

NOVEMBER 25-DECEMBER 1, 2015

“It hits close to home,” she says. “It’s Paris. It’s France. The French have been one of our closest allies.” But she says that after processing what happened, she knew what the Paris attacks would mean to Rochester’s Muslim community. “I’m so incredibly disappointed,” Abid says. “Yet again you have to explain to people the difference between extremism and Islam.” She says it feels like a question that will never go away. “Over and over again you have to explain, ‘It’s not the Islam I practice, and it’s not the Islam my

parents practice,’” she says. “We’re Muslims, and even we don’t know what this is.” She’s also concerned and deeply saddened, she says, by the government officials who, after Paris, refuse to accept Syrian refugees. “We are not representing what this country was founded on and what it represents to the rest of the world,” she says. “These people are trying to escape. They’re coming from an area that is so violent that they’re fleeing with the clothes on their back. We should be welcoming them.”

Muhammad Shafiq: Muslims in Rochester Muhammad Shafiq, who is executive director of Nazareth College’s Hickey Center for Interfaith Studies and Dialogue, says there are between 19,000 and 21,000 Muslims in the Rochester region. And the Muslim community in Rochester reflects the larger US and Western European community in the sense that it is ethnically and racially diverse, he says. The major Muslim communities in Rochester “are the IndoPakistanis and South Asians,” Shafiq says. “But there are many Turkish, Somali, African American, and even Bosnian Muslims

in this area, too, with many of the communities having their own mosques.” Most Muslims in Rochester, he says, are not insular and tend not to concentrate in a single neighborhood. And even though Muslims new to the US have often filled low-skilled jobs such as taxi drivers and custodians, he says, there is a strong cultural emphasis on education and entrepreneurship. “Muslims are generally well educated,” Shafiq says. “They are doctors, attorneys, electrical engineers; they are well represented in almost every field.”

Iman Abid: The American dream When Ahmed Mohamed, 14, was arrested and suspended last September after bringing a homemade clock to school as part of a science project, the saga re-ignited a national debate about Islamophobia. The Texas high school student was suspected by law enforcement and some school officials of a possible terrorist act because some of them thought the clock resembled a bomb. Mohamed’s treatment sent a chill through Muslim communities throughout the US, including Rochester. Many seriously questioned the view that average Americans have of Muslims. “It really hit me,” Iman Abid says. She grew even more concerned, she says, when she saw that anti-Muslim rallies were planned in some cities as a result of the Texas incident. “It started to terrify me in a way, because I asked myself, ‘Are there really this many people who really want to do this?’” she says. Abid says she decided to do what she could to dispel fears and shatter stereotypes that seem to shade at least some people’s images of Muslims and Islam. She didn’t want what Mohamed experienced in Texas to happen to a young Muslim student here, she says, or for anti-Muslim rallies to occur in front of Rochester’s mosques. Abid, who was born and raised in Henrietta, says that sharing her experiences about Muslim life in Rochester may be the best

way to advocate for peace, understanding, and greater acceptance. A recent graduate of Rochester Institute of Technology, Abid is also president of Monroe County Young Democrats. Like many young American Muslims, she says that the world she’s grown up in is completely different from the one her parents knew. “I grew up with two parents who have been raised in villages where the mosques were a huge social part of the community,” she says. “I think the biggest difference between me and my parents was that I wasn’t born into that. I grew up in a Rochester suburb with all kinds of people.” She was raised in a traditional Muslim family; both her parents believed that the man is supposed to go to work and earn a living, Abid says, while the wife stays at home and raises the family. “I grew up understanding what the American dream was from my dad,” she says. “He had a small business and owned a restaurant. He helped me to understand that in America, you can create your own path. He had opportunities in front of him that his parents and family members didn’t.” That path was more challenging for her mother, Abid says. But she watched her evolve over time. “I remember when I was 17 and seeing my mother become a natural citizen,” she says. “She studied American history and how

this country was founded, and she was so excited about what that meant for her.” Her mother’s views began to expand, Abid says, and reflect a changing American culture. “She was raised in a different time and place,” she says. “I saw her redefine things for herself, and her values started to change. I remember talking with her and seeing how open-minded she was about same-sex marriage. ‘It’s not up to us to judge others,’ she said.” At RIT, Abid says, she met other young Muslims who are from the Middle East and Afghanistan, and she tried to make them feel comfortable being part of the larger Rochester community. She could see that they were having some of the same experiences as her mother, she says. “There’s a tendency to stay close to people who are like you,” she says. “But I encouraged them to think about what opportunities there are for them beyond education. What are the little things you can do to become involved?” Otherwise, they get their degrees and leave because they don’t have a connection to this country, Abid says. “I know people say it all the time, but I’m a younger person talking to younger people,” she says. “This is my honest opinion: Get involved.”

Manal Sidi and Lailun Nahar: Confronting stigma Manal Sidi and Lailun Nahar are students at the University of Rochester. Sidi is a junior studying public health. Her family lives in Georgia, but she was born in the Middle East. Nahar is a senior in the psychology department. Her family is from New York City, but she was born in Bangladesh. Unlike Abid, both women wear traditional head scarves. “I just took it as part of my identity,” Sidi says. “I never felt disconnected from it. It’s not something that I added on. It’s always felt like it’s just a part of me.” But some Muslim women feel conflicted about wearing the hijab, she says. Some want to wear it but don’t want the public reaction that often accompanies doing so. Something as simple as a scarf, she says, can be a barrier for some Muslim women. “I think it depends on your perception of the scarf and how it was introduced to you,” Sidi says. “I’ve had friends who have taken it off because it was more of a pressure thing. Others keep it on maybe because they don’t

feel they can adapt to more American styles of clothing.” It’s become normal to catch people staring at her, she says, although, she says, “I didn’t realize that was going to be constant.” And being on the UR campus is different than going off campus, she says. Sidi, Nahar, and their friends draw some attention on campus, she says, but it increases dramatically when they go to a movie or a restaurant off campus. “I was with a friend who came to dinner with women who were wearing hijabs,” Sidi says, “and afterward he kind of pulls us aside and said, ‘Did you see that so many people were staring at us?’” Nahar says that after more than four years in Rochester, she enjoys being part of the local Muslim community. But she says she still feels more comfortable in New York City. For one thing, she says, it’s not unusual there to see women dressed in more traditional clothing. “I would feel more comfortable talking to a stranger in New York City than I would

here,” Nahar says. “I started to feel and think that there is a difference between tolerance and acceptance. I feel like here people kind of tolerate more than accept you.” Nahar says that she tries to keep an optimistic outlook, but that sometimes it’s difficult. “I do want to put myself out there and explain to people, ‘We’re not this and we’re not that.’ But when I’m in the process of doing it, I feel small. When I raise my hand in class, it’s almost as if I don’t speak English. People must really think I’m a foreigner.” For both Sidi and Nahar, nothing quite compares to their experiences at the airport, which they say can range from tense to humorous.

“When I go to the airport and they don’t really check, I think ‘Don’t you want to dig in there?’” Nahar says. “I feel like they are being sympathetic, and that’s why they are not really, really checking me.” continues on page 27 rochestercitynewspaper.com

Expanding into the real South Empanada Shop 642 MONROE AVENUE 434-3937 MONDAY-SATURDAY, 11 A.M.-9 P.M., SUNDAY, 11 A.M.-5 P.M. [ REVIEW ] BY CHRIS LINDSTROM

With Thanksgiving upon us, I have something a bit outside the norm to be thankful for. South American food is woefully underrepresented in Rochester right now, but along with the more established Espada (Brazilian) in Village Gate and Juan and Maria’s Empanada Stop (Chilean), the Colombian-based Empanada Shop is one of a small selection of places that feature cuisine from that continent. The food there is delicious, and the empanadas stand out both for their wide variety and solid execution. The chalkboard on the wall shows a roster of empanadas ($3.50 for 1, $15 for 5) that was 24 deep, with about half of them edging more toward traditional flavors and the other half toward more American tastes. On our visit, the first impression when the empanadas came to the table was of the nicely fried exteriors covered in micro blisters. I’m not sure why these form, but what was obvious is that they add some delightful texture and that the crusts are crispy and chewy without being overly crunchy or greasy. This is a hard balance to strike, and these hit the mark. Of the traditional flavors that my wife and I sampled, the chicken, shredded beef, and basura were our favorites. Each was balanced, although in completely different ways. The chicken was more simple, with enough onions to make you know they were there without overpowering the chunks of meat. Sweetness from plantains paired with the braised beef in a rich sauce walked the sweet and savory line in the shredded beef empanada. “Basura” translates to “garbage,” and true to form, it was a hodgepodge of ingredients, including ground beef, avocado, mofongo, and hard-boiled egg that didn’t become muddied when put together. The pork and mango, unfortunately, edged too far toward the sweet side of the scale, and the steak and shrimp empanada was under-seasoned and didn’t stand out.

On the less traditional side of things, the jalapeño chicken flavor had an assertive heat level from the pickled and fresh jalapeños, and I could absolutely see it as a perfect food after a long night out. The Empanada Shop offers a number of items as dinners or as side dishes to accompany the namesake pockets. A large banana leaf-wrapped tamale ($10, $13.95 dinner) was stuffed with white corn masa and pieces of chicken and pork, along with potatoes and peas. This is a heartier version than the Mexican tamales you may be familiar with, and it’s worth checking out. A dinner of chiccarones, yellow rice and peas, and sweet plantains ($10.95) reminded me in many ways of those from Caribbean restaurants in town, but with more subtle flavors. The deeply scored pork belly was fried to an intense crunch and was best served by chopping it up and combining with the other ingredients into a mixed rice dish. I was happy to see arepas on the menu ($2 each); they’ve been missing in town since the Hello Arepa! truck went off the radar late last year. Both the cheese-filled and the sweet versions were dense, flattened corn cakes with a crispy exterior; I could see them making interesting sandwiches at some point in the future. Less successful was the chicken kabob ($6), which was tender but ended up being too sweet and lacking the high-heat sear I love. The service at the Empanada Shop is mostly counter based, but if you’re eating in, manager Karin Aros will deliver the food to the table and help you ID which empanada is which. I enjoyed talking to her about what Colombian food had to offer and how much passion both she and the chef (her daughter) have for it. Although spare inside, the pastel tinged room is lit brightly and has made a nice transition from the departed Rosie’s Hot Buns that closed last year. I was saddened to see the delicious food from Rosie’s go, but what we have gotten instead is a go-to spot for empanadas and a great way to jump into a lesser known cuisine in Rochester.

celebrating a bit early this year: Thanksgiving weekend, the Penfield Symphony Orchestra presents “Holiday, Family, and Friends” under conductor David Harman.

All this holiday fun has a substantial musical preface: a performance of Brahms’s Double Concerto in A Minor, Op. 102, with violinist Renée Jolles and cellist Steven Doane. - DAVID RAYMOND

This here is a record of full-blown, unadulterated, contemporary country pop. From her understated angelic voice to the album’s slick production and overall feel, Alyssa Trahan’s “Daisies” screams NashVegas. Trahan has assembled a dangerous cast of Nashville characters to flesh out her songs admirably. In fact she recorded the project in Nashville to soak up the vibe, no doubt. The track “I Love Your Truck” cracks me up. “Happy” is as warm as morning sunshine as Trahan’s impressive vocal and lyrical maturity continues to advance. And the lopsided swagger on “I know” is way cool with its melodic sting and instrumental swing. Daisies is a well-put-together EP that doesn’t need to grow on the listener: It grabs them straight out of the gate. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

The energy is there. The guitar is there with its relentless strum attack. The attitude is there, and so is the band’s list of influences: Ramones, Replacements, Bad Religion. Joe Smith & The Going Concern is my kind of band. Straight outta Atlanta with a nod to the CBGB sound, it’s almost perfect … except Smith can’t sing on key to save his life. He’s got the balls and attitude, but sings flat throughout all five tracks on “Every One of You.” I dunno, maybe the band is sharp. The overall sloppiness is cool and I’m sure this band is fun live, but this record, though, just doesn’t cut it. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Music So he didn’t feel you were ready? Patrón: It’s funny now that we’re working

with them constantly.

So how did you flesh the band out? Patrón: The core writing team remained Kyle,

myself, and Dan. We needed a revolving cast of characters to help with the live show. Both Travis and Andy were previously in Joywave. They’re both multi-instrumentalists. Andy’s a tremendous drummer. We thought it would be a good fit. What did their addition do to the sound? O’Hara: It definitely changed after that. Johansen: I sat in on writing after that, and

we added live instruments on the recording.

Is there wiggle room at all when playing live, or are the arrangements tight? O’Hara: I think the live show differs from

Somebody call the KOPPS Kopps WITH ISHMAEL RAPS AND DANGERBIRD SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28 THE BUG JAR, 219 MONROE AVENUE 9 P.M. | $8-$10 | BUGJAR.COM SOUNDCLOUD.COM/KOPPS [ INTERVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE

Music that possesses an electronic component can still be organic; it’s just rooted on the receiving end as opposed to the launch site. Let’s simplify: Though it has some synthetic root, electronic music still gets human (organic) asses in motion. KOPPS is one of those groups that create within this hard to classify hybrid. Call it dance music. Just call it music. Better yet, call the KOPPS. KOPPS formed in 2010 in Rochester as a dance project between vocalist Patricia Patrón and bassist Kyle O’Hara. Once the twosome nailed down a sound, they approached Joywave front man Dan Armbruster for guidance and perhaps some studio help. The resulting sound is a powerhouse throb that transcends its collision of electronic and non-electric instruments. The next step was getting a band together to recreate the sound in a live setting. With a little requisite coming and going, KOPPS solidified its lineup to include drummer Andy York and guitarist Travis Johansen, along with Patron and O’Hara. The band just wrapped up a 12-city tour supporting Joywave and was still giddy about it like school kids on a candy jag when they popped into City Newspaper for a little Q & A. Here’s an edited version of what went down. 14 CITY NOVEMBER 25 - DECEMBER 1, 2015

CITY: So how about that Joywave tour? Patrón: It was a-mazing. O’Hara: We didn’t want it to stop. What cities were highlights? Patrón: Detroit was awesome. Detroit loved us. So what got the band started? Patrón: We were listening to a lot of 90’s

dance, La Bouche-type of stuff. It was like “no one’s doing this, and it feels like it could come around.” So we started writing. Pro tools? O’Hara: Back then I was using Reason. Patrón: He would send me a background clip,

and we finally got a couple songs together we felt excited about and we brought them to Dan Armbruster, who produces all of our music. We knew he had a home studio but didn’t know he was going to take an active role in the project. So we went to him and asked, “Hey, would you like to record a couple of songs for free?” and he was like, “Sure, let’s do it.” At that point we really didn’t have an idea about putting together a live show. We just wanted to write music and record it, put it on MySpace. After we did those two songs, he was like “What are we going to do now?” He became our third, silent member. When did this go live? Patrón: We were thinking about doing a show

as a duo at the Bug Jar and we brainstormed: “Who can we get to play with us at this show? Who could we open for?” And he was like, “Not us.”

what you hear on the recordings. It’s the core song, but it has a different flavor live. Travis started changing a lot of stuff live. Now there’re guitars replacing synths. Patrón: I think the feedback I’ve gotten the most with the addition of Travis and Andy is that the live show is so much more full and so much more energetic in every way. I think as a band we feel the music has changed a lot with the addition of live instruments. Was this on purpose or did it just sorta happen? O’Hara: I think it was a conscious shift. Patrón: I think we want it to be as real as it

can be. It’s whatever suits that particular song. If there are things we can’t do or replicate live, that’s not going to stop us from putting something synthetic in the track. To do everything we do in the tracks we would need a lot of people. A lot. O’Hara: A bass can do just so much. A guitar can do just so much. Johansen: And we’re a big advocate of live drums. O’Hara: I think “Thermometer” was the first song we tried with real drums. It was a huge shift, and we were like, “This is cool.” Your sound comes off brutally original, what are some outside influences? Patrón: We just have such a mixed bag when

it comes to references. Like, “We want this riff to sound Justin Timberlake-y. Johansen: Bel Biv Devoe. All: Booty Jams, Chick Chick Chick, or we’ll look up old hip-hop jams like Biggie. What’s the easiest thing in your writing process? Patrón: I think the easiest thing is coming up

with things we don’t like.

What can I say about the Hi-Risers that I haven’t already? I’m gonna have to dig deep into my bag-o-vocab to further describe these three cats. How about Grade-A, number one, super-supreme, king-size, deluxe rock ‘n’ roll? These guys are Rochester’s Fab Three. And if that ain’t enough, Mckinley James, the pride of Hi-Riser drummer Jay Smay’s loins, will be warming the boards for this show. This kid burns red-hot and blue on his big red guitar. This is pure roots-rock raunch and revelry. Watch out for this boy.

ROCK | NIK TURNER’S HAWKWIND

During his tenure in Hawkwind, Lemmy Kilmister penned the tune “Motorhead” before getting booted out of the band to form Motorhead. Riding the fringes of experimental music when the band began in 1969, Hawkwind referred to its music — a heady, jammed-out, psychedelic mix of heavy rock and synthetic passages — as space rock. Saxophonist Nik turner joined Hawkwind in 1969 and was in the group on and off throughout its career. He leads the charge today. Hawkwind plays with Hedersleben, Hot Mayonnaise, The Temptators, and Tapehead on Wednesday, November 25, at Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Avenue. 8 p.m. $10-$12. bugjar. com; hawkwind.com. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

PERCUSSION | TIGUE

Fresh off the release of its debut album, “Peaks,” on indie classical label New Amsterdam Records, the innovative Brooklyn-based percussion trio TIGUE makes its way to the Bug Jar for a homecoming of sorts. All Eastman School of Music alumni, Matt Evans, Amy Garapic, and Carson Moody bring an unforced cool to the genre of chamber music — while genre labels don’t easily stick, elements of rock, electronic pop, ambient, and classical are all in the mix with a dash of the avant-garde. A smorgasbord of percussion instruments populate the stage of a TIGUE concert: drum set, vibraphone, bongos, toms, auxiliary odds-and-ends, and even beer bottles are all part of the sonic landscape. The result is vivid, even danceable music that is as infectious as it is complex. The Rochester band Drippers will play in support, with multiple sets from DJ Creath between bands. TIGUE performs on Sunday, November 29, at the Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Avenue. 9 p.m. $6-$8. bugjar.com; tiguemusic.com. — BY DANIEL J. KUSHNER rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 17

Vive la France Society for Chamber Music in Rochester REVIEWED FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20 PERFORMANCE HALL AT HOCHSTEIN SCHOOL OF MUSIC AND DANCE CHAMBERMUSICROCHESTER.ORG [ REVIEW ] BY DANIEL J. KUSHNER

In a performance dedicated to the victims of the recent terrorist attacks in Paris, the Society for Chamber Music in Rochester presented a cogent (though far from comprehensive) overview of French music Friday night, focused on woodwinds. Titled “Colors of France,” the program was the first in a series devoted to notable composers of various countries and regions around the world, with Germany and Russia upcoming. 20 CITY NOVEMBER 25 - DECEMBER 1, 2015

French classical music is known for its tendency toward warm lyricism and lush harmonic texture, as opposed to the often heavier orchestration of German Romanticism or even the unabashedly florid melodic beauty of the Italians. The chamber music players assembled here – all but one are members of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra – concentrated on compositions that brought out the natural beauty of their instruments. In the chamber ensemble selections, the combined sound of different instruments in harmony exuded a lovely charm and clarity that is quintessentially French. The evening began in complete darkness. Flutist Rebecca Gilbert imbued Claude Debussy’s light and airy “Syrinx” with an earthy sound full of mythic mystery. The result was somehow both rooted and ethereal.

Next was “Sarabande et Menuet” by the all-but-forgotten Vincent d’Indy. If the Sarabande showed off the players’ compatibility of tone, the Menuet was evidence of the players’ abiding chemistry and camaraderie. Their blend as an ensemble featured nimble, understated, and artful melodic phrasing. Ultimately, it was the group’s sense of timing, a natural synchronicity, that gave the music its resonance. W. Peter Kurau’s French horn was especially impeccable here, though his grand and luxurious sound faltered during a moment of sloppy intonation in Camille Saint-Saëns’s “Romance.” One of the highlights of the night was oboist Erik Behr’s rendition of “Pièce en forme de Habanera” by Maurice Ravel, accompanied by pianist Chiao-Wen Cheng. Behr’s simple, direct tone emphasized the exoticism of Ravel’s music, and he evoked a strong sense of freedom, even while exhibiting expert control in his phrasing. Cheng was an ideal accompanist, asserting her presence when appropriate and blending into the harmonic fabric when the oboe melody took the fore. In Paul Taffanel’s Wind Quintet in G minor, it was the exquisite blending of instruments that was most impressive. Matthew McDonald’s rich, resonant low tones of the bassoon provided great balance to the higher, untethered, and pure sounds of the flute and oboe. The interplay between instruments during the Adagio, in particular, was intuitive and inspired. Though the overall sensibility of the concert was earnest and serious, Francis Poulenc’s Sextet for winds and piano was jocular, even mischievous. Behr’s playing was consistently astonishing. His shaping of phrases brought out the natural drama of the phrase in a way that drew listeners into the moment. His ability to pull us into the music was the evening’s most consistent triumph. If this concert was any indication, fans of chamber music will find that the Society’s “musical world tour” this season is a trip worth taking.

gets out, he’s forced to overcome his temper and the rather significant chip on his shoulder in order to prove himself worthy of the Creed name. He also strikes up a romance with a local R&B musician named Bianca (the magnetic Tessa Thompson, “Dear White People”). The romance between the two is sweet and real, and thankfully their relationship trajectory never includes her worrying and demanding that he stop boxing. She knows he’s a fighter when they start dating, and she accepts that side of him. That the singer has progressive hearing loss and sometimes wears a hearing aid isn’t a cynical tool for unearned pathos, but simply one aspect that shapes her character. The “Rocky” movies have always been more about the personalities of the fighters than the boxing itself, and “Creed” boasts a number of excellent performances. Stallone and Jordan play off one another well, and the veteran actor gives his strongest performance in years, tapping into the regret as well as the pride in his iconic character. Michael B. Jordan has been struggling to break through for years, delivering great work on television in shows such as “The Wire” and “Friday Night Lights,” earning significant Oscar buzz for his performance in “Fruitvale Station,” then landing his most high-profile role yet as the Human Torch in this summer’s “Fantastic Four” movie. But time and time again his big moment fails to materialize. Hopefully this film will connect with audiences, because the kid deserves to be a star.

Safe travels “Brooklyn” (PG-13), DIRECTED BY JOHN CROWLEY OPENS WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 25

“The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2” (PG-13), DIRECTED BY FRANCIS LAWRENCE NOW PLAYING [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

Ryan Coogler showed with his first feature, the powerful indie “Fruitvale Station,” that he’s great with actors. Now “Creed” proves that he’s got a knack for exciting action as well, effortlessly shifting from intimate drama into the realm of muscular blockbuster filmmaking. There are two major fights in the film, and Coogler stages them in two distinctive styles. The first appears to be shot in one take, the camera endlessly circling the fighters and giving the fight an immersive, naturalistic feel. The second fight is a marvel of editing, with swooping camera moves turning the action visceral and operatic as blood splashes around the ring. Throughout, the photography by cinematographer Maryse Alberti is impeccable. Key support comes from composer Ludwig Göransson, who provides an effective score that slowly builds up to the moment those iconic “Rocky” horns kick in — key for those crucial training montages ( and naturally, there’s a run up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art) — while making only sparing use of Bill Conti’s famous “Rocky” theme. Big and bombastic, “Creed” is popcorn filmmaking at its most thrilling; it begs to be seen with an enthusiastic, amped-up crowd. Appropriate for a film so much about legacy, the film manages to feel very much a part of the franchise without simply imitating what came before. We can only hope the seventh installment of that other huge 1970’s film franchise (something about space battles?) is this good.

Based on the 2009 novel by Irish author Colm Tóibín (and adapted by screenwriter Nick Hornby), “Brooklyn” is a lovely romantic period drama that follows shy country girl Eilis Lacey (Saoirse Ronan) as she relocates from her home in Enniscorthy, Ireland, to America in the early 1950’s. Eilis’ journey is arranged by her older sister, Rose (Fiona Glascott), who recognizes the limited prospects that await her sibling if she remains in their provincial town. Battling against a profound sense of homesickness and loneliness, Eilis manages to make a life for herself, settling in a Brooklyn boardinghouse run by a sharptongued landlady (Julie Walters), getting a job at a posh department store, and being romanced by a charming Italian-American plumber (Emory Cohen). But when tragic circumstances call for her to return to Ireland, where she’s pursued

by an eligible suitor (Domhnall Gleeson), she finds herself caught between her new life and the one she once knew. Unabashedly sentimental and achingly sincere, “Brooklyn” presents an immigrant experience shot through with a rosy, nostalgic glow. During this time of heightened, antagonistic rhetoric against immigrants, it’s refreshing to see America once again presented as the land of opportunity. Director John Crowley, along with immaculate work by production designer François Séguin and costume designer Odile Dicks-Mireaux, nail the period details and Hornby’s nimble script invests it all with a deeply felt emotion. Since earning an Oscar nomination at 13 for her role in “Atonement,” Saoirse Ronan has blossomed into a remarkably assured young actress, and she delivers an effortlessly empathetic performance, even without the benefit of the interior monologue provided by the novel. Exploring what “home” truly means and the way it can shift and change throughout our lives, “Brooklyn” is Eilis’ coming-of-age story; as we follow her journey, we see the subtle changes as the timid girl grows into a confidant young woman. Opening just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday, it’s hard to imagine anyone not being won over by the film’s big-hearted spirit. For three years and four films, “The Hunger Games” series has been the gold standard of the dystopian YA genre that it helped popularize. Now the series comes to a satisfying conclusion with “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2,” even if it never quite lives up to those previous installments. Following the path set by fantasy franchises before it, the story’s final chapter has been split in two features — “Part 1” arrived last November and provided the setup to the endgame of “Part 2.” More than the other entries in the series, “Part 2” resembles a straight-up war movie as Katniss leads Panem’s rebel forces into battle against

the dastardly President Snow (Donald Sutherland), demonstrating a willingness to go to some extremely dark places, and the movie’s tone is often relentlessly bleak. After the talky buildup of “Part 1” (which I quite liked), it seemed reasonable to expect this film to jump right into the excitement, so it’s surprising to note how little action the film actually contains. The entire first half of this movie continues in the same vein as the previous film; it’s nearly an hour in before we get to the first action sequence, and even then the film takes several significant pauses before things start back up again. But the action scenes that we do get are excitingly staged by returning director Francis Lawrence, the best being an “Aliens”-esque chase through the Capitol’s sewers as Katniss and her unit attempt to outrun a horde of reptilian mutants. Jennifer Lawrence is still fantastic; Katniss is the role that made the actress a star, and it fits her like a glove. While the story’s political intrigue continues to deliver darkly potent satire, the love triangle between Katniss and her would-be suitors — poor brainwashed Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) and stoic soldier boy, Gale (Liam Hemsworth) — is still by far the least interesting aspect of the films. So while the need to devote time to it as the story winds down is understandable, those scenes frequently end up deflating the considerable tension built up throughout the rest of the movie. In wrapping things up, the film offers up more endings than “Return of the King,” before settling on what was by far my least favorite of the bunch. Still, there’s considerable emotion to be found as we bid these characters farewell. Adding considerable weight to the proceedings is the sad knowledge that we’re witnessing the final performance of Philip Seymour Hoffman’s career. Even if “Mockingjay Part 2” doesn’t live up to its predecessors, it’s been nice to have a woman-centric action franchise with real ideas behind it, and as such, I suspect the series’ reputation will only improve with age.

This grand turn-of-the-century home is perfect for a growing family looking for a home in a nice neighborhood with lots of room. The yard is large and situated on a double-wide lot, a feature that isn’t always easy to find in the city. 671 Grand Ave. was built in 1906 and has a spacious wraparound front porch; I find myself imagining how the view from it has changed over time. Thanks are due to one of the early owners who had the foresight to plant the seedling in the front yard that has now grown to be one of the oldest and most majestic trees on the block. Directly across from the house is the last remaining cobblestone house in the City of Rochester. I’m sure each owner has a story to share about this historic icon. The entryway of any home sets the tone for the rest of the house and this one does not disappoint. The cherry paneling and exquisite tiling in the foyer creates a “wow” moment each time you enter. This old home has features that today’s homeowners want but are often challenging to find. There are two full baths, one on the first floor and one on the second. From top to bottom, it has something to offer, including the finished attic and the laundry room in the basement. Living space is plentiful with large rooms and ample storage. Did I say storage? Because this home has lots! In addition to these qualities the home has the character,

charm and grace that people are drawn to in an older home. You will find beautiful details that cannot be recreated today, such as the carving detail on the banister, stained glass windows, pocket doors, and original wood molding, all of superior craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. The living room has a marvelous bay window, a fireplace with built-in bookshelves and leaded glass windows on top. The room is spacious so furniture can easily be configured in a variety of ways and the quartersawn oak flooring will complement any arrangement. The second floor bedrooms also have unique assets. There is a porch off of one bedroom that overlooks the backyard. The master bedroom has an adjoining room, which would be perfect for a nursery or home office. Located in the Triangle of North Winton Village, a neighborhood rich with Rochester history, this home is only a stone’s throw from a community garden and some Rochester favorites including James Brown’s Place and L&M Lanes. Michael McNamara of Hunt Realty lists the 1,948 square foot property for $114,900. To schedule a showing contact Michael at 585-785-2019. by Anna Liisa Keller Anna Liisa is a member of The Landmark Society’s Young Urban Preservationists.
