Is integration really an answer?

“… hundreds of thousands of African-American and Hispanic children are getting a very limited education….” (“Segregation Forever,” Urban Journal). How can that be, with teachers in Rochester being among the highest paid in the state and, probably, the country? What are they doing?

Oh, of course: The reason is poverty, as you proceed in the next paragraph to absolve schools, teachers, and principals. But why does the children’s poverty, however defined, prevent teachers from applying their skills (which I presume they have)? Are parents not cooperative? Why would mixing these kids with kids from Brighton or Pittsford make parents more mindful of their kids’ education?

“Standardized tests, tougher standards, public school choice, charter schools, longer school days…. By God, we’ll prove that we can give children a good education without integrating the schools. And off we run after the latest trend.” Trends, you call them? They are the time-honored means by which we instill good education, madam! Or do you subscribe to the soft bigotry of low expectations, that black and Hispanic kids are just too stupid?

I lay the worsening of graduation rates, test scores, poverty rate, and racial segregation, things that we should all bemoan, at the feet of the administration of these schools.

And where do you get the statistics? You mention School 23, whose student population is 34 percent white and 62 percent poor. There are only white and poor? None of the 34 percent whites are poor? And all of the 62 percent are blacks and Hispanics?

No overlapping? I wonder what

cracks the remaining 4 percent fell through. Gosh!

Highland’s growth

On residents’ concerns about Highland Hospital’s expansion plans: This area is so pretty, and I

understand some of the neighbors’ concerns. On the other hand, our city needs more hospital beds.

I used to work at Highland Hospital, and I would never buy a house in that area because of the hospital: too much traffic, ambulances coming and going, people driving up streets and attempting to park because they want to avoid paying for parking, in general too much commotion.

And more important, the hospital was there long before the people were. If you don’t like it, move!

ROCHESTER GAL

1) The cost of employee parking at the UR Medical Center is already outrageous.

2) URMC has shuttle buses to and from remote parking sites.

Most employees are not thrilled about adding another half an hour to their travel time on shuttles.

3) Incentives to live close by?

Like subsidize purchasing homes on Mulberry and Mt. Vernon?

URMC is one of the largest employers in the county. They run 24/7/365. There are nurses, techs, CNA, and all other kinds of employees. Many of them are single parents who need to get their children to child-care providers. If you want URMC to provide onsite child care at Highland or the main site – well, that’s more space they’ll need to create.

4) I know we’re talking primarily about Highland, but URMC sucked up a large employee lot for College Town.

The new free-standing Golisano Children’s Hospital also took a chunk of land.

5) You want to live where you want to live. You don’t want people telling you that if you don’t want to live near Highland Hospital then you need to move. Employees at Highland also want to live where they want to live, some of which may have to do with school districts.

Making it more difficult and

expensive to work, or requiring them to live in certain locations so they can walk to work or wait for a bus in the midst of a Polar Vortex is no different from suggesting you move.

The University and East High

On the state’s endorsement of University of Rochester involvement at East High School:

That a school needs to be rescued pretty much points out that those in charge do not know what they are doing. To me this is a signal that everyone has to go: Vargas, Urbanski, the entire school board.

It is time to shock the system. It is time to change everything. It is time to have people in charge who have no idea what the status quo has been. Making a drastic effort with one school while leaving the failed structure in place is insane.

TOM JANOWSKI

Partnering with the UR frees East from the dysfunctional bureaucracy of Central Office and provides East with needed advisory support and the opportunity to transform itself.

Once East proves that urban schools can turn themselves around – and into highly competitive high schools, with beautiful facilities, with sports and other after-school opportunities that large suburban schools offer – there is no way charter schools will be able to compete, with their large class sizes and under-paid / uncertified / inexperienced teachers and few extra curricular opportunities located in warehouse type facilities.

SUSIE R.

It’s way too simplistic to say that the failure at East is because of Central Office dysfunction. Don’t get me wrong: it’s bad, but it’s not everything. Schools have had the power to opt out of Central Office through the Living Contract provision. They just haven’t done it. It’s easier to blame the Central Office bogeyman.

This UR takeover will be a rude awakening for the ivory towertypes who’ve confused theory with practice. And it will be painful for the rest of us to watch.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

The US, the super-rich, and the Great Society Should income inequality in the United States be a matter of great public concern?

Is it something that government should stick its nose into?

Questions like that seem particularly timely this week, which marks 50 years since Lyndon Johnson announced his Great Society vision. Great Society programs – the Voting Rights Act, Medicare, Medicaid, and much more – accomplished a lot, but they didn’t work miracles. And despite Johnson’s hope for a brighter economic future for all Americans, income inequality in the US is severe – among the worst of any developed nation.

French economist Thomas Piketty has been getting lots of attention for his best-seller, “Capital in the Twenty-First Century.” In it, Piketty focuses on the current concentration of wealth in the hands of a relatively few people and warns that if we don’t do something about it, the rich will keep getting richer, and inequality will keep going up.

The inequality we face now isn’t only between the poor and the rest of the US. It’s between the super-rich and everybody else: middle-income, low-income, and poor.

Middle-income wages have stagnated.

In the Times last week, writer Eduardo Porter compared the current inequality to that of the early 20th century, when the rich – the “robber barons” – were getting richer and the poor were getting poorer.

Back then, Porter noted, riots, strikes, and muckraking reports led to progressive legislation – government action, including the progressive income tax – that dramatically changed things.

But we’re back in the robber-baron days. “The income of a typical American family has barely risen since the 1970’s,” Porter wrote. “The share of national income captured by the richest 1 percent of Americans is even higher than it was at the dawn of the 20th century.”

For many of us, inequality is a moral concern: Where’s the justice in a corporate CEO earning millions of dollars more than a teacher (and a hedge-fund manager billions of dollars a year)? Where’s the justice in students in a wealthy suburb having access to a better education than those in a poor urban neighborhood?

Arguments about injustice and fairness don’t seem to have much appeal these days, but you don’t have to be concerned about justice to care about the rising inequality.

The concern over inequality isn’t just an

Inequality of the type we’re experiencing now, says economist Thomas Piketty, ‘directly threatens our democratic institutions and values.’”

“it’s not fair” whine. And conservatives enamored with US “exceptionalism” ought to be as concerned as liberals are.

It doesn’t take an economist to see where inequality is leading us. A nation in which the handful of super-rich continue to get richer and the majority of citizens struggle means a nation with a declining public education system that turns out poorly educated students; a nation with fewer advances in science, medicine, technology, and industry; deteriorating infrastructure….

And that kind of nation most certainly can’t be a world leader – in anything.

Porter raises a challenging question: “Can democracy stop inequality from rising?”

His own assessment isn’t encouraging.

Voter turnout by the poor isn’t as strong as for the rich; many of us, regardless of income, don’t trust government; and in this day of freewheeling political fundraising, the rich can buy what they want, not only yachts and mansions but also political influence and legislation.

Inequality of the type we’re experiencing now, Thomas Piketty said in an interview with Porter in March, “directly threatens our democratic institutions and values.”

A question, then: What kind of country do we want to leave to our children? How do we envision ourselves as a more perfect union – a Great Society, or whatever we want to call it? What do we really want the nation to be like? And if government policies and government action of some sort aren’t the way to reduce inequality, what is?

Or, as we become more alienated from one another and less interested in the Common Good, have we reached the point where we don’t even care? rochestercitynewspaper.com

POLITICS | BY JEREMY MOULE

Dems endorse candidates One of Joe Morelle’s last big duties as departing head of the Monroe County Democratic Committee ended up being a relatively tame affair. Morelle is stepping down from the post in September.

The committee held its nominating convention last week, selecting candidates for State Legislature, City Council, and Monroe County Legislature. The whole thing was uncomplicated and quick — lasting about an hour.

Morelle opened the meeting with brief remarks stressing how important it is for party members to work together to support this year’s candidates. He also did a bit of reflecting. He said that when he took over as chair in 2005, he wanted to see

the county party develop into a viable participant in the two-party system.

You could argue that Democrats made little progress on that end, although there does seem to be a cooperative relationship brewing between County Executive Maggie Brooks and Mayor Lovely Warren.

The convention’s only drama came from the three-way contest for a City Court seat nomination.

Eventually, William Gargan, chief of the Domestic Violence Bureau in the District Attorney’s Office, emerged as the nominee.

In other races, MCDC endorsed: • Mike Patterson for the Northeast District seat on City Council.

Patterson received approximately 66 percent of the votes while his

Jamal Rossi and the future of ESM

challenger, Eugenio Cotto, received 31 percent; • Leslie Rivera for the 29th District seat in the County Legislature.

The seat covers some of the city’s northeast neighborhoods; • Erik Nixon for the 18th District seat in the County Legislature. The seat covers parts of East Rochester and Perinton; • Ted O’Brien for the 55th District seat in the State Senate; • Harry Bronson for the 138th District seat in the State Assembly; • David Gantt for the 137th District seat in the State Assembly; • Joe Morelle for the 136th District seat in the State Assembly; • Gary Pudup for the 134th District seat in the State Assembly.

“Most people think that if you went to prison, that you must have killed someone. And that’s not the reality. So what this ordinance sort of does is level the playing field so that people with, like, a petit larceny conviction 37 years ago aren’t looked at the same as the guy who just got out of prison for murder — because right now they are.” [ JAMIE DOUGHERTY ]

EMPLOYMENT | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

Better odds for ex-offenders Simply forbidding employers from asking about people’s criminal history on job applications — typically by asking them to check a box — isn’t enough to radically transform the employment landscape in Rochester, says Jamie Dougherty, a research associate at Rochester Institute of Technology’s Center for Public Safety Initiatives. It probably also won’t do much to reduce recidivism or improve public safety.

But it may prevent employers from unconsciously dismissing applicants with criminal records out of hand, Dougherty says.

Dougherty is part of the Opportunity to Compete committee, which has been working with City Council member Adam McFadden on “ban the box” legislation. The committee is made up of people who have worked with ex-offenders trying to reintegrate into society. Dougherty is a former re-entry case manager.

McFadden’s legislation, which was expected to pass Council on May 20, prohibits public and private employers in the City of Rochester from asking people about their criminal history on job applications. They’d have to wait

until after the initial job interview, and employers would not be prevented from doing background checks. Violators would face a $500 penalty the first time, the legislation says, and a $1,000 penalty for each subsequent offense.

The legislation’s purpose is to help eliminate discrimination against exoffenders. Ban-the-box initiatives are gaining steam nationwide, Dougherty says. Policies are in place in at least 10 states and 56 cities, according to a report by the Center for Public Safety Initiatives.

“In the end, this ordinance doesn’t affect that much, really,” Dougherty says. “It sort of just avoids unconscious bias because people aren’t using it as a screening tool, which every employer says they don’t do, but if we just get down to it and admit it, everybody would do that.”

The wording on job applications varies, she says, but employers often ask generally if an applicant has been convicted of a crime. The problem is that many employers see all ex-offenders as hardened criminals, she says, regardless of the crime.

“Most people think that if you went to prison, that you must have killed someone,” Dougherty says. “And that’s

not the reality. So what this ordinance sort of does is level the playing field so that people with, like, a petit larceny conviction 37 years ago aren’t looked at the same as the guy who just got out of prison for murder — because right now they are.”

Employers also tend to attribute negative qualities such as tardiness and substance abuse to people with criminal records, the center’s report says, even when ex-offenders’ resumes and qualifications are identical to other applicants’ submissions.

Trans health coverage The City of Rochester will add transgender health care benefits for employees and their families starting on January 1, 2015.

The new coverage means that services related to gender reassignment procedures such as medical and psychological counseling, hormone therapy, and reconstructive surgeries will be covered by insurance. To receive the benefits, employees will have to purchase an enhanced coverage plan.

City Council member Matt Haag says that getting transgender inclusive coverage into the health insurance package was more of a process than a controversial issue.

“It started under Mayor Richards and was supported by Mayor Warren,” he says.

The coverage is important because every trans person’s experience is unique, says Scott Fearing, director of the Gay Alliance of the Genesee Valley.

“For some, it may be that surgery is important, and for others it may be mental health counseling,” he says.

The City of San Francisco has offered the benefits since 2001, Fearing says, and studies show that about 3 percent of the city’s employees use them. And the cost is lower than it is to cover employees with diseases such as diabetes, he says.

The City of Rochester’s interest in providing the coverage came about through work with the Human Rights Campaign, Haag says. Fearing says that understanding of trans people and their needs, such as health care, has improved.

NEIGHBORHOODS | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

Big changes for Rochester Psychiatric Center There are more questions than answers right now about the state’s plan to overhaul its mental health system and the impact that overhaul will have on Rochester. According to the plan, the state-run Rochester Psychiatric Center on Elmwood Avenue will become the Western New York Forensic Center of Excellence — one of 15 regional centers across the state.

The Rochester Psychiatric Center has 55 beds and provides individualized psychiatric treatment and rehabilitation services, according to the state’s website.

Patients come from Monroe and surrounding counties.

When the state’s overhaul plan is fully implemented, in 2017, the new Western New York center will house 155 beds for patients classified as “forensic adults.” A

report from the state Office of Mental Health says that “forensic admissions are largely determined by the courts, with the general purpose being specialty treatment for individuals involved in the criminal justice system.” (The Rochester Psychiatric Center does have a regional forensic unit.)

Some forensic patients are treated until they are determined to no longer have a dangerous mental disorder, the report says. The goal for other forensic patients, it says, is “competency restoration and treatment of acute symptoms and stabilization.”

Dan Hurley, president of the Upper Mt. Hope Neighborhood Association, says residents are worried about the impact the new regional center will have on nearby neighborhoods. They’re also concerned about the fate of the Psychiatric Center’s

current patients. The state’s plan appears to take all non-forensic inpatients out of Rochester and moves them to a facility in Buffalo. Hurley says moving those patients will disrupt their treatment and their lives by removing the support networks they have in place.

The Rev. Deborah Fae Swift, pastor of South Presbyterian Church on East Henrietta Road, says in a letter that the church has an ongoing relationship with Psychiatric Center patients who are close to being discharged, and that many continue to seek out the church for support afterward.

“We are their neighbors and friends,” Swift says.

Questions to Elizabeth Suhre, executive director of the Psychiatric Center, were directed to the state. A long

list of questions about the state overhaul was sent to a spokesperson for the State Office Mental Health, who responded with a general statement: “Within the 2014-2015 state budget, the Office of Mental Health’s Rochester Psychiatric Center remains operational as a psychiatric center serving both civil and forensic populations; the same populations which it serves today,” the statement says. “Representatives from the Office of Mental Health and Rochester Psychiatric Center plan to meet with local neighborhood associations regarding its longstanding and continuing operations in the City of Rochester.”

A local meeting on the state’s plan is planned for 6 p.m. on Tuesday, May 27, in the Rehab Building at the Rochester Psychiatric Center, room 206/208.

FOOD | BY JEREMY MOULE

Bagging the food waste problem Chew on this: food makes up approximately one-fifth of the waste sent to US landfills every year, and 30 to 40 percent of the country’s food supply goes uneaten annually.

Food waste is a global problem. It makes products more expensive for consumers and squanders important resources like water, fertile land, and energy. And with 50 million Americans going hungry every day, it’s a moral issue, too.

Packaging may have a role to play in reducing food waste.

Members of PAC, the Packaging Consortium — a North American packaging trade group — gathered at Rochester Institute of Technology last month to talk about food waste.

“Packaging is not the primary problem here, but certainly there’s a role that we can play,” says Jim Downham, president and CEO of PAC, which has a food waste reduction initiative.

Food waste is a complicated issue, and losses happen throughout the production, distribution, and retail systems. But packaging can reduce damages during shipping and give perishable foods a longer shelf life, Downham says.

For example, if corn on the cob is cooked at the time it’s harvested and then packaged, the shelf life increases from a couple of weeks to almost a year, he says.

Packaging also could be a way to provide consumers with portion sizes that result in less waste, Downham says. Various studies have shown that most food waste happens in consumers’ homes, often from food going bad before it is eaten or because households prepare too much for meals.

“There is no doubt that packaging can be one of the solutions or an aid in the food waste thing, but it’s not the silver bullet,” says Jason Wadsworth, sustainability coordinator

for Wegmans. “It’s not going to solve the issue of food waste.”

Wadsworth says packaging can reduce in-store waste in some cases, especially when changes extend shelf life. Vacuumsealed packages for cuts of meat, resealable plastic tubs for deli meats, and resealable salad bags are examples.

But packaging also needs to be designed to prevent food from damage. And the potential for food waste should be

considered alongside other factors, such as recyclability, Wadsworth says. (A couple of years ago, the Wegman Family Charitable Foundation and American Packaging Corp. gave Rochester Institute of Technology $2.2 million to start the Center for Sustainable Packaging. The companies say they hope the effort leads to a better system for designing food packaging.)

But using packaging to reduce food loss has a catch. Instead of discarding food, people

the most from the unconscious bias Dougherty talks about.

Dougherty says she encourages ex-offenders to explain their stories to prospective employers, because it humanizes them.

She says that much more research is needed to determine the efficacy of banthe-box policies. But the center’s report says bold claims about what the policy can do are suspect because many factors beyond a question on a job application drive recidivism and unemployment, for example.

The Opportunity to Compete committee plans an outreach effort, Dougherty says, to educate employers and applicants about ban the box.

“If it’s going to be effective, it has to be enforced well,” she says, “and understood well by both the applicants and the employers.”

may end up discarding more containers and wrapping, and if those materials aren’t recyclable, they’d end up in a landfill.

Downham says that’s an issue, but it’s also a matter of balance. In many cases, the packaging has a much smaller environmental footprint than the food it protects, he says.

Environmental groups are pushing for other solutions. The Natural Resources Defense Council released a report on food waste in 2012, which identified several opportunities for reduction. One suggestion is to put a stronger emphasis on regional food systems. Reducing the distance that food has to travel after harvest means a longer shelf life, the report says.

And consumers also play a role in reducing food waste, largely through responsible purchasing decisions. In part, that means consumers should plan out what perishable goods they need so the food doesn’t go bad before it can be eaten.

Consumers and retailers can also help cut down on food losses by purchasing fruits and vegetables that look imperfect but are otherwise fine.

“There’s a lot of great food out there that maybe doesn’t look so great but tastes great,” Wadsworth says.

Regional schools:

Are they the answer? Do we have the will?

Bill Cala: The real obstacle is the fear of the unknown. PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLIN

iane Cooke was a senior at East High School in 1958.

Under her photo in the school yearbook, it says that her nickname is “Cookie” and that she’s planning to go to college. Cooke was one of about a dozen black teens in her class of more than 200 students. Almost all of the other students were white.

By 1980, East’s yearbook shows a much more integrated senior class. By 2000, however, the school’s demographics had completely changed and most of East’s students were black and Latino.

Something else occurred at East that isn’t so apparent in the pages of its yearbooks; not only did the school become more segregated, its students became poorer and economically isolated.

White families left the city in large numbers for the suburbs.

And the area’s once seemingly endless supply of good paying manufacturing jobs for low-skilled workers all but disappeared.

Economic and social instability hit minority families especially hard, putting unprecedented stress on Rochester’s schools.

All this and more has led to where we are today: city school officials staring down an ultimatum from the State Education Department to either improve student achievement at East High School, or close the school.

The development doesn’t surprise at least one group of Rochester educators and community leaders. In their view,

district and state education officials have repeatedly taken the wrong approach to improving Rochester’s schools. Millions of dollars have been spent on failing city schools only to get the same disappointing graduation rates.

An integrated regional school is needed, they say. And now more than ever.

Former Rochester interim Superintendent Bill Cala; former State Assembly member Tom Frey; and Bryan Hetherington, chief counsel for the Empire Justice Center have been trying to open a regional school in Rochester for years.

The school is as much about closing the socioeconomic gap between the city and the suburbs as it is about closing academic gaps, they say. As the Rochester region became increasingly segregated and poverty became more concentrated in the city, student achievement in city schools has steadily declined.

And though they don’t blame suburban schools for the academic challenges facing city schools, they do say that suburban students are part of the solution.

“We’ve had too many conversations about it,” Cala says.

“We’ve put the plan for the school together and it’s a good one.

The question now is do we have the political will to do this?”

The short answer to that question would have to be no, since the Regional Academy, as they’re calling it, has yet to open its doors and enroll a single student.

Solely by deconcentrating poverty, you’re raising the game for everyone.

But Cala, Frey, and Hetherington say they’re optimistic. They have everything in place, including facilities. Now all they need is the political support to pass needed legislation. And they say they’re counting on Assembly Majority Leader Joe Morelle to help.

Work on Regional Academy began in

2008, while Cala was a visiting professor at Nazareth College. He organized about 150 educators, college students, parents, and community leaders into 13 study groups.

“We had about eight team leaders, working on everything from curriculum, to teacher selection, administration, and marketing,” he says. “We even had a team for naming the school.”

By 2010, the framework and planning were complete. Regional Academy would start with just two elementary grades of about 75 students each. But it would eventually grow into a pre-k through grade 12 school, with two campuses. Pre-k would be for students ages 3 and 4, Cala says.

The elementary school would be located downtown and the high school would be located close to Nazareth College, Cala says.

He says he’s been in talks with one of the city’s cultural institutions to house the elementary school and with Nazareth about forming a collaborative relationship for the high school.

Regional Academy’s concept is fundamentally different from the area’s city and suburban schools, Cala says. It’s also different from the area’s public charter schools, he says.

The school would be led by teachers and students, Cala says, and would offer students multiple-year internships that match their interests. And students would be able to take courses for college credit. Partnering with a college such as Nazareth means that Regional Academy’s students would benefit from the institution’s expertise and resources in everything from the arts to nursing and physical therapy. Cala says.

Regional Academy would emphasize social justice, he says. The concept would be woven into the school’s curriculum and its disciplinary policies, he says.

But the main difference between Regional Academy and other schools would be demographics, Cala says.

No more than 40 percent of the academy’s students would come from high-

poverty city households, and 60 percent would come from suburban households with at least middle-class incomes.

The 40-60 demographic is a key ingredient in Regional Academy’s formula for success, Cala says.

It’s not that poor students can’t learn or that public school teachers in city schools see poverty as an acceptable excuse for low student achievement, he says. And the unions aren’t the obstacle they’re often made out to be, he says.

The academic challenges in most city schools are a result of the student mix, Cala says.

The Regional Academy is based on research showing that concentrated poverty has an overwhelmingly negative impact on student achievement, as well as on social and emotional development.

“Many years of research have confirmed what all parents know: kids learn from one another, as well as from the teacher,” writes Richard Kahlenberg in a recent report for the Century Foundation. “In high-poverty schools, a child is surrounded by classmates who are less likely to have big dreams, and accordingly, are less academically engaged, and are more likely to act out and cut class.”

Kahlenberg says it’s an important advantage for students in high-poverty schools to have high-achieving peers, whose knowledge is shared informally all day. When low-income students attend schools with their low-income peers, he says, they’re less likely to expand their vocabulary through normal social interaction.

“What we’re doing with the Regional Academy is counting on the basic design of the school,” Cala says. “A school that’s made up of suburban and urban kids deconcentrates poverty and race. Solely by deconcentrating poverty, you’re raising the game for everyone.”

Cala says that Regional Academy would enroll suburban students through an application entered into a lottery. For city students, however, a blind lottery would be used.

Regional Academy would assign a number to city students for the grade it’s trying to fill.

Potential kindergarteners, for example, would all be given a number from one to 1,000.

“We’d pull the first 35 numbers regardless of whether they are English language learners or special ed. students,” Cala says. “It doesn’t make any difference; we would offer them a

slot in the school. They really don’t even have to apply for it. If it turns out that they don’t want to go to the school, fine; we just go to the next student.”

Cala says Regional Academy would be a true public school because it would not weed out students who require special education services. Charter schools don’t have to accept all students, which Cala says improves their data.

“There would be no gaming the system,” Cala says. “There would be no practices where children would be excluded. Charters have their own rules and regulations and they can say, ‘If you don’t follow rules A, B, and C, you’re out.’”

Cala and Frey say there’s another problem with charters in that they don’t address the Rochester area’s central issue of concentrated poverty and racial segregation. Most charter schools are comprised largely of city students from low-income households.

“Concentration of poverty is our key issue,” Frey says. “We think that makes it very important that it [Regional Academy] not be a charter.”

One of the central defects of the charter school movement, he says, is that it further destabilizes city schools. Engaged and motivated parents are able to find a way out of the failing school system, Frey says, and as a result, “the concentration of poverty gets even worse in those city schools.”

Bill Cala

But not everyone agrees that regional schools are the solution. And critics say that the Rochester area already has a version of a regional school. The Urban Suburban School program, which operates out of BOCES, is close to celebrating its 50th year in operation.

One of Urban Suburban’s missions, according to its website, is to reduce racial isolation in the area’s schools by allowing students to study across district lines. City students, for instance, can apply to attend one of Brighton’s schools. Nine districts in Monroe County participate in the program.

Cala says Urban Suburban is a step in the right direction, but it’s too timid. And it might have had a greater impact if it had been expanded, he says.

Urban Suburban is proof that a regional school is relevant, Cala says. But he says he doesn’t want Regional Academy to be a small program like Urban Suburban. And Regional Academy needs to be replicated in order to have a meaningful impact, he says.

A question that Cala says he often gets is, “What’s in it for suburban students?” And it clearly annoys him. The benefits for both city and suburban students would be Regional Academy’s rich curriculum, he says.

“What suburban parent would not want to send their kid to a high school that in its continues on page 10 rochestercitynewspaper.com

DNA is a college with all of the resources of a college?” he says. “And of course the other big piece is the opportunity to be part of this incredible multicultural environment.”

Cala says schools should prepare students for the world of the future, not the world in which they’re currently living.

“The kids in the city aren’t going to go out into a world that is 92 percent black and Hispanic,” he says. “And the kids in the suburbs are not going to go out into a world that is 92 percent white.”

Regional Academy faces other obstacles, too. For the school to come to fruition, suburban school superintendents need to be sold on the benefits. But so far, those superintendents aren’t biting.

“At this point in time, I’m not aware of much interest in it from the suburban districts,” says Jody Siegle, executive director of the Monroe County School Boards Association.

Money is another big hurdle.

Assembly member Joe Morelle says that many suburban districts are concerned that the enrollment drops would hurt their budgets. If each school loses a couple of dozen students to Regional Academy, it would have a noticeable financial impact, he says.

And when Regional Academy replicates and adds schools, he says, the impact on the suburban schools would be similar to the impact charters are having on the city school district.

But Cala says that’s not correct. He is advocating for a separate state funding stream for Regional Academy so that

suburban schools wouldn’t be impacted.

Morelle says it’s hard for some suburban superintendents to envision their students voluntarily attending Regional Academy, since many of their students are already enrolled in highly enriched programs in their current schools.

Morelle says he doesn’t feel confident that he can bring legislation for Regional Academy to the Legislature at this time.

He says he’s concerned that fundamental questions haven’t been answered.

“For each suburban school superintendent, the struggle is how is this going to work?” Morelle says. “We have to wrestle with how do we get their students something that will be attractive? How do we create a school that can be replicated?

And then, if you replicate it, how do you address the suburban superintendents’ concerns, because they’re going to have huge holes in their budgets?”

But Cala looks at the problem differently.

He attributes the wariness of community leaders to fear.

“The wall here is the fear of the unknown,” he says. “There is fear in the suburbs: ‘We don’t want to give up our kids.

We don’t want to give up our money.’”

But he warns that the window of opportunity is closing because poverty is spreading beyond the city’s borders.

“This is a very complex issue,” Cala says.

“But as more people in this country fall into poverty, correcting this problem is going to get harder. We’re already seeing that.”

GUEST COMMENTARY | BY DOUG NOBLE

Facts, fiction, and Ukraine Standing strong against “Russian aggression” has become the only acceptable US position on Ukraine for Washington and mainstream media, reminiscent of the relentless anti-Saddam propaganda campaign running up to the Iraq War. This time the demonization of Russia and its president, Vladimir Putin, substitutes for any nuanced account of events in Ukraine.

Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates insists Putin is “trying to re-establish Russian influence,” and the State Department condemns Russia’s “illegal actions” and its “incredible act of aggression.”

In response to this alleged aggression, the US stirs the cauldron of a new Cold War, sending destroyers into the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea, scheduling US-NATO troop movements in East Europe, and tightening economic sanctions on Russia. But if we learned any lessons from the belligerent lies that led us into Iraq, we now need to question this latest single-minded messaging fed to us by the US media and government.

Here, then, are some inconvenient facts from the world press, unavailable in mainstream media, for us to consider: In early 1990, as the USSR collapsed, then US Secretary of State James Baker assured the Kremlin that there would be “no extension of … NATO one inch to the east.” Despite Baker’s promises, NATO has expanded steadily eastward into a dozen former Soviet satellite countries, threatening Russia’s borders.

Ukraine represents the latest effort to extend Western economic policies and eventually NATO to Russia’s doorstep.

President Yanukovych was not receptive to the West’s hardline economic demands and was turning toward Russia. So thousands were paid with Western money to participate in the allegedly grassroots Maidan protests, and Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland went to Kiev to personally choose Ukraine’s post-coup government leaders.

Nuland acknowledged that the US had spent $5 billion over the past 20 years to build up “pro-democracy” forces in Ukraine.

Though many Maidan protesters were motivated by a desire to join the European Union, neo-Nazi elements made up a significant number, and were later awarded four ministries, including national security, in the new government. They remain a violent force within the unelected Kiev government and have been responsible for violent incidents in the East, such as the recent massacre in Odessa.

Much of the unrest in eastern Ukraine was driven by fear over austerity

TWEETING IS FUNDAMENTAL @roccitynews

Putin has his own interests and propaganda. But our government and media have lied to us before and are again. measures threatened by the pro-Western government. This in part was why in Crimea, people voted overwhelmingly to return to Russia, although the US still blames Moscow’s aggression for this voluntary annexation.

Washington still insists that Russia organized and funded the pro-Russian separatists in Eastern cities. But the New York Times reported the separatists to be mostly indigenous former Ukrainian or Soviet soldiers unaligned with Moscow, using outdated weaponry rather than sophisticated Russian weapons.

Just recently, separatist leaders, rebuffing Putin’s own call for a delay, insisted on holding a referendum that resulted in an overwhelming vote for independence from the unelected Kiev government. Russian and European leaders are now trying to broker ceasefire negotiations between Kiev and the separatists, but the US refuses to recognize the separatists’ independent legitimacy.

This is no surprise, since CIA Director John Brennan, notorious mastermind of Obama’s “kill list,” made a secret visit to Kiev in April, apparently to assist and fund Kiev’s coup government in a violent crackdown on these separatists. So-called “anti-terrorist” campaigns in Eastern Ukraine have escalated since Brennan’s visit.

The above account of the Ukraine crisis stands in stark contrast to antiRussian stories fed to us by US mainstream media. These same media dutifully served Washington’s bellicose interests in 2003 by demonizing Saddam and his alleged weapons of mass destruction.

Of course, in the current crisis, there is little doubt that Putin has his own interests and his own propaganda. But it is our US government and its media mouthpieces that have lied to us before and are now again. Let’s not be fooled this time, for the consequences could be catastrophic.

Dining

A rising trend in gluten-free dining has made it easier to find a variety of dishes like gluten-free Italian bread and chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, and peanut butter cookies from Ellie's Gluten Free Bakery (left and middle), and gluten-free sesame chicken from Chen Garden (right).

Free to be gluten-free [ ROUND-UP ] BY KATIE LIBBY

While eating gluten-free is a necessity for many — specifically those suffering from Celiac Disease or a gluten-intolerance — an increasing amount of people are choosing a gluten-free lifestyle for healthier eating. Gone are the days of the gluten-free products being tucked in a hard-to-find corner of the grocery store’s “health food” aisle. Gluten-free products are now out and proud on our supermarket aisles and in a growing number of bakeries and specialty stores. Inspired by the recent boom of businesses that are exclusively offering gluten-free baked goods and products, I decided to explore gluten-free Rochester. A good friend who has Celiac Disease came along for the ride and provided tips for eating gluten-free in Rochester.

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, and those with a gluten intolerance have an especially hard time processing the substance. This can lead to unpleasant gastrointestinal issues and also symptoms like joint pain and fatigue. Take a moment and think about all the foods made with wheat, there’s a ton of them, mainly bread and pasta. Fortunately, there are more

products now, including bread and pasta that are made with other ingredients that are compatible with gluten-free living.

The bakeries and restaurants featured here are in no way meant to encompass the only establishments to enjoy gluten-free food in Rochester. Because the glutenfree lifestyle has gained such popularity and press over the lsast few years, many restaurants you visit will most likely have gluten-free options, it’s just a matter of asking. Greater Rochester Celiac Support Group has a thorough listing of gluten-free friendly restaurants in our area. More information can be found at rochesterceliacs.org. And leave us your favorite gluten-free spots in the comments.

When looking for gluten-free baked goods in Rochester, you will not come up short. Ellie’s Gluten Free Bakery (1000 Turk Hill Road in Fairport) offers products that are not only gluten-free but soyfree and dairy-free as well. Scouring out loaves of gluten-free bread can be a serious challenge, but Ellie’s does it right. The shop’s cookies are a real stand out as well. If you don’t want to take the trip to Fairport, Ellie’s offers products online as well as at the South Wedge, Fairport, and Brighton

farmer’s markets. Other options to satisfy your sweet tooth include Donna Marie’s Gluten Free Bakery (164 Newbury Street) and The Gluten Free Chef Market & Bakery (181 Monroe Avenue).

Chen Garden (1750 Monroe Avenue) is already a standard in Rochester for first-rate Chinese food — they have been a CITY Best of Rochester winner multiple times.

But not many people know the restaurant can make most of its menu items gluten-free if asked? Gluten-free Sesame Chicken is a rarity, and Chen Garden makes a tasty one.

Other items to try are the Crispy Shrimp with Bacon and Chow Fun noodles. Shui Asian Fusion (236 University Avenue) can also make anything on their menu glutenfree, but I’ve been told its Pad Thai, Spring Rolls, and Satay have that “wow” factor.

Finding a sub shop that carries glutenfree bread can be burdensome, enter Harry G’s (678 South Avenue) to the rescue. Try the Park Avenue (turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato, provolone, and basil mayo) on gluten-free bread. My gluten-free insider told me to get the bread toasted to reduce serious crumbling, an unfortunate sideeffect of gluten-free bread. If you’re in the mood for pizza, Nick’s Deli and Pizza

(1098 Chili-Coldwater Road) makes an appetizing gluten-free pie as well as other Italian favorites like meatballs, chicken parmesan and pasta.

Quick Bites

Two more restaurants in Rochester have climbed aboard the brunch train. Restaurant 2 Vine (24 Winthrop Street) will feature brunch starting at 11 a.m. on Sundays. More information can be found at 2vine.com. Paola’s Burrito Place (1011 Culver Avenue) has started serving brunch on Saturdays and Sundays starting at 11:00 a.m. More information can be found on its Facebook page.

Fire up the limo bus, it’s officially wine tour season. The annual Wine Symposium of the Finger Lakes takes place on June 13 and 14 at the Geneva Visitor and Events Center at Seneca Lakefront and the Scandling Center on Hobart and William Smith Colleges campus. Events include the Finger Lakes AVA Riesling Challenge and wine tasting with international experts. Tickets range from $35 to $150 and can be purchased at winesymposiumfingerlakes.com.

almost impossible to peg Angela Perley as the lead singer in a band. But she is, and she’s got a serious set of pipes. Perley and her band, The Howlin’ Moons, have drawn rave reviews for their latest album “Hey Kid,” which genre hops between country, Americana, and rock ‘n’ roll. Perley’s voice is special, but the band’s instrumentals — especially guitarist Chris Connor’s speedy pentatonic licks — also shine. As good as it is on the album, the band is on a different level when it comes to its live act. My personal favorite jam, “Blue Eyed Lola,” perfectly showcases the group’s all-around dynamics.

With thick harmonies and raucous boot stomping, Auld Lang Syne builds upon past folk music. The vocals are near angelic, but somehow they stay rooted in that dirty old-time swagger.

Hank Wood and the Hammerheads MONDAY, MAY 26 BUG JAR, 219 MONROE AVENUE 9 P.M. | $6-$8 | BUGJAR.COM [ PUNK ] Hank Wood and the Hammerheads

describes itself as being, “NYC garage mutants.” The band clearly draws influences from early punk bands like The Stooges, The Clash, and The Sex Pistols — embracing the rough, oftentimes imperfect, sound that defined such bands. However, the band combines that 70’s punk sound with the characteristic intensity and aggressiveness of the hardcore genre. The band released its first LP, “Go Home!” in 2012. Performs with Flip Shit, Lamby, and Tapehead. — BY LEAH CREARY

The record company is going to have to front me another copy of Brian Lindsay’s “The Monkey, The Tango, and the Boogaloo,” because I ate the first one. No shit, I got done with the preliminary spin, smeared some peanut butter on it and ate it. Good records call to mind comparisons and metaphors, but only the truly great ones can be called delicious. Lindsay is one of my favorite singers of the hardcore troubadour ilk and he comes out thundering on this new album’s first track — and my new fave — “What Does Love Mean To You?” like a runaway tractor. “The Bully” is a tres cool tug-o-war between Jersey blue-eyed soul and straight-up rock ‘n’ roll. “Everyday” is a classic example of urban Americana; a “just right” blend of red clay and asphalt.

“Seven Days Seven Nights” with its snake shake and voodoo is a new harder rockin’ side to Lindsay, I’ve only, up to this point, heard live. The man even gets down with a pretty piano ballad toward the end of the affair with “King Of Broken Hearts.” “The Monkey, The Tango, and the Boogaloo” is an 11-song send up to an era when LPs were enjoyed front to back, not just as collections of potential hits. This is a work of art I highly recommend you spend some time with. In fact get two; one to share with a friend … or eat.

New Jersey-born Moot Davis’ twang and croon calls to mind the country revolution that resuscitated and rescued country music from the Nashvegas vampires. Though the music displays plenty of rural, rocking giddy-up and go, at the heart of it all is an honest countrypolitan crooner who embraces the Keef Riffhard 5-string, open G approach to the guitar. That’s right, there’s some rock in there, baby.

JAZZ | JIMMY BENNINGTON COLOUR AND SOUND

ELECTRONIC | DJ ZOMBIE KITTY

Colour and Sound are two of the key ingredients to great drumming. While sound is fairly obvious, colour (the British spelling) is especially important when playing in free jazz circles. That’s where Jimmy Bennington has spent much of his career, exploiting his percussive palette in group improvisations. It doesn’t hurt that he studied with John Coltrane’s drummer, Elvin Jones. He’ll be joined at the Bop Shop by Fred Jackson on saxophone, Jerome Croswell, trumpet, and Ed Schuller, bass.

There’s times where I go to a nightclub and the DJ’s overpowering music scares me into seeking repose at a dive bar.

Sometimes it’s just too much. That’s not the case with DJ Zombie Kitty. The Philadelphia-based DJ has been keeping club goers entranced since 2009 with her versatile range, which covers a smorgasbord of genres. There’s something any EDM fan can get down with, whether it be dubstep, psych trance, electro house, or chiptunes, the latter of which she used to remix soundtracks to iconic horror movies like “Army of Darkness” and “Children of the Corn.” Zombie Kitty spins some truly unique stuff.

Jimmy Bennington Colour and Sound plays Friday, May 23, at Bop Shop Records, 1460 Monroe Avenue. 9 p.m. $10. 271-3354; Bopshop.com; Jbcolourandsound.com.

What the world needs now is love, or maybe just more bands like Band of Lovers. Guitarist Dave Strumfeld and ukulele player Sabina Beachdell met at SUNY Purchase but formed their acoustic group in California. They have since spent nearly a year on the road performing songs that might inspire you to cuddle up with your sweetie. Band of Lovers pulls you in with its pleasant vocal harmonies and fills the space with more music than the instruments allow. The pair’s show at Tango Cafe is both a hometown tour stop for Rochester-native Beachdell and a tune-up gig for Band of Lovers before it records its Kickstarter-financed debut album, “The Coast,” in Upstate New York this summer.

Both groups, OFC Creations and the Rochester Latino Theatre Company, are relative newcomers to the Rochester theater scene who have already amassed some impressive credits.

The show itself would be an ambitious choice for either group: “In the Heights” has a large cast, uses a full Latin band, and is a big Broadway musical full of big dance and production numbers. By joining forces, OFC Creations and the RLTC are creating the first Rochester community-theater production of this Tony Award-winning musical.

Eric Johnson, a Rochester native who majored in theater at Nazareth College and 20 CITY MAY 21-27, 2014

now works at RAPA, began OFC Creations as a way to use his knowledge of the artistic and business side of theater, and to provide theater experience to younger performers.

OFC makes a point of casting younger actors alongside more experienced adults to learn different aspects of theater arts, often in shows dealing with youth issues. Recent OFC presentations include the pop opera “Bare” and an original musical called “Kitestrings”.

The Rochester Latino Theater Company began in spring 2012, founded by Annette Ramos, who is the Education Services Manager for Young Audiences of Rochester, and Stephanie Paredes, who is now the company’s board president. Ramos took part in a reading of play called “School of the Americas,” in which she played what she calls “a deep Latina — not a clinging lady or a bad girl.” The experience made her decide that Rochester needed a theater company that would be “by, for, and about Latinos, that went beyond the stereotypes”, and would also support emerging and established Latino theater artists.

The idea led to weekly gatherings at which individuals told their “growing up Latino” stories. These were eventually compiled into a bilingual theater piece, “Sombras de Nuestros Rostros/Shadows of Our Faces,” which was

performed at Geva, Writers & Books, and MuCCC. RLTC also recently presented a one-act play, “Mi Casa es su Casa,” and a reading of “W.A.C. Iraq,” a show about Latina women in the U.S. military.

Both groups have a history of worthy productions, but putting on a musical is something else — and there are not many Broadway musicals dealing realistically with the Latino experience in America. “When Annette Ramos heard I was doing ‘In the Heights,’” Johnson says, “she immediately got in touch with me to propose working together on it.”

Ramos had seen the touring company of “In the Heights” when it played Rochester a few years ago, and was excited to be part of the show. “It’s in the style of classic musical theatre, but it uses contemporary music — the cultural music of my people — in a theatrical way,” Ramos says.

“We were immediately embraced by Eric,” she says. “We knew what we could bring to the table with this show from the beginning, and that was authenticity: help with accents and other cultural details that would give depth to the performance.

And Eric’s experience with younger actors has been very helpful for our company.

For example, before the auditions for ‘In

the Heights’ he offered a workshop on audition techniques, something many of the younger performers just wouldn’t have had the chance to get before.”

“In the Heights,” which opened on Broadway in 2008, was a surprise hit. It ran for more than a thousand performances and won several Tony Awards, including Best Musical. It is a “day in the life” of a Dominican-American neighborhood in Brooklyn’s Washington Heights. The characters are working-class types: a man and his cousin who run a bodega, others who work for a taxi and limousine service or a salon. Their dreams include winning the lottery and leaving the closeknit neighborhood to pursue a college education. Johnson, the director, calls it a show in part about “the culture and the traditions you grow up with — those you decide to keep as part of your life, and those you abandon as you move on.”

For the director, the show is important and powerful as “one of the first musicals to show all its Latino characters in a positive environment.” Johnson adds that the “In the Heights” cast really looks like a neighborhood, too. “Our cast ranges from 14 years old to 60 — 21 people in all. And they are from all different backgrounds — that is the point of our mission. The RLTC has been a great help with the culture, the cast, and the atmosphere of the show.”

While “In the Heights” is indeed a lively and warm-hearted show, its highlight is probably the lively, infectious score. Lin-Manuel Miranda’s music and lyrics brought Latin rhythms, hiphop, and freestyle rap to Broadway, and undoubtedly helped the show to its long run (and to a Grammy Award for its cast recording). Not surprisingly, those Latin and African-American rhythms inspire a lot of dancing, and choreographer Bobby Conte is in charge of putting every member of the large cast through their paces. “Salsa, merengue, hip-hop dance, you name it,” Conte says. “I’ve got them doing everything.”

Local theater veteran Adele Fico is returning to the stage with “In the Heights” after several years dealing with health issues. She plays the neighborhood’s good-hearted grandmother figure, Abuela Claudia, and she loves the experience and the cast’s boundless energy.

“This is a show with a lot of heart,” Fico says. “You really get the feeling of a whole neighborhood on stage. The show is about a very specific place, but this is music for everybody, and a show for everyone.”

LITERATURE | A NIGHT WITH AN AUTHOR AND BEER

On May 22, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., Roc Brewing Co. (56 South Union Street) will host a literary event for Mental Health Awareness Month. Rochester author and young professional Anish Majumdar (pictured) will speak about publishing his first novel, “The Isolation Door,” and the events that inspired it. Figuring centrally in the work is his mother’s struggle with schizophrenia and the profound impact it had on his upbringing and his own journey.

Enjoy a craft beer while you listen to the book discussion and learn about the role the city has played in Majumdar’s development as an artist, particularly the rich base of resources and community support. The short presentation will be followed by a Q&A session and book signing. A portion of the proceeds from every book sold will be donated to schizophrenia research and treatment. The event is free to attend, but an RSVP is requested, as space is limited.

than a delusional 50-something thinking she can portray a teenaged seductress on film.

Norma becomes obsessed with Joe, and he becomes her kept boy even as he grows closer to Betty while working on their screenplay project.

“Sunset” is a natural fit for a musical adaption.

[ REVIEW ] BY ERIC REZSNYAK

The dark side of Old Hollywood was apparently on the mind of Blackfriars Artistic Director John Haldoupis when he programmed the theater’s 2013-14 season.

It opened with “Me and Jezebel,” which told an inspired-by-real-life story about latter-day Bette Davis. And now it closes with “Sunset Boulevard,” Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical adaptation of the Billy Wilder cinematic classic about the destructive power Hollywood has on the dreamers it ensnares. “Sunset” is a big show with big numbers, and director Haldoupis and the cast and crew fill the Blackfriars space while bringing it all to life. If the pictures are getting smaller, the theater is bigger than ever.

“Sunset” tells the story of Joe Gillis, a struggling screenwriter trying to find work in 1949 Hollywood. After striking out with a baseball-flick pitch, Joe is approached by Betty, a studio script editor who wants to adapt one of his earlier stories; jaded Joe largely dismisses her interest. While on the run from repo men looking to take back his car, Joe ends up at a rambling mansion on Sunset Boulevard. He discovers that it is the home of faded silent-film star Norma Desmond, who hires Joe to edit the screenplay for her comeback project — a retelling of the biblical story of Salome, in which she plans to star. But Joe has bigger problems 24 CITY MAY 21-27, 2014

It is Dramatic with a capital D; there’s not a lot of subtlety to be found in this story. Instead it is loaded with great mid-20th century style, a larger-than-life main character, and a plot that in many ways feels like a modern-day opera.

That operatic feeling is especially strong in the first act, in which several of the songs (“Let’s Have Lunch,” “Every Movie’s a Circus”) feature exposition and dialogue hammered into jaunty tunes, to varying degrees of success.

Although the show won Tony Awards for Best Musical and Best Score back when it debuted 20 years ago, its songs are frankly a very mixed bag. Some are fine but forgettable, such as “Greatest Star of All” and “Eternal Youth is Worth a Little Suffering.” A few are just flat-out clunkers. But the musical also features three or four classic Lloyd Webber gems, including the title song and Norma’s defining solos, “With One Look” and “As If We Never Said Goodbye.”

Dawn M. Sargent plays Norma Desmond in the Blackfriars production, and she is ideally cast. She alternately swans or skulks about the stage, always displaying the over-the-top gestures that would be intrinsic to a silent-film star. And she really is ready for her close-up at all times: Sargent’s Norma is giving you face for days.

Sargent fully inhabits the role, and there was obviously a great deal of consideration giving to the way she approached virtually every aspect

of the performance. Note that when Norma is singing to Joe, Sargent does so with a warbly 1920’s affect. But when it comes time for Norma’s big numbers, Sargent belts in full voice. And it must be said: Sargent is absolutely flawless in “As If We Never Said Goodbye.”

Sargent has a good leading man in Jason Mincer as Joe Gillis. Mincer brings a great singing voice and natural charisma to the part. In his hands, the complicated relationship with Norma makes a certain kind of sense (live that keptboy dream, Joe). And Mincer has absolutely no problem holding the audience’s attention, even in the sometimes overly busy group numbers.

Speaking of those group numbers, Nicolette Hart is listed as being in charge of the musical staging, and she threw quite a bit at the eightmember ensemble. Possibly too much, as the ensemble members often get solo lines in the group numbers, and they were frequently difficult to hear over the show’s orchestra. This was especially noticeable in “The Lady’s Paying,” in which the un-mic’ed singer in the lead — who was gamely dancing all around the stage — barely registered over the accompaniment.

That said, the show features strong singing from the supporting actors, including Robyn Fazio Lasser as Betty, Ken Harrington as Max, and Nicholas D. Rogers as Cecil B. DeMille.

Last week Haldoupis announced that the 201415 season will be his last as Blackfriars’ artistic director. If you need an indication as to what kind of a loss that will be to Blackfriars specifically, and to the Rochester theater community in general, look no further than his direction and design for “Sunset Boulevard.” Haldoupis is renowned for his lush sets and costuming, and his inventive approach to sets and staging. All of that is on display in this show.

The set for “Sunset” is comprised of a large archway with curtains and rolling sectionals that are constantly being reorganized by the cast into various formations. They create everything from a movie theater to back-lot offices, a moving car to a swimming pool.

It’s a very smart way to maximize the fairly limited space of the Blackfriars stage. The show also makes excellent use of lighting (designed

by Nic Minetor) and projections (designed

by Ron Heerkens, Jr.), which are critically important to the successful storytelling.

The costumes for the show are gorgeous, the look and feel of early films evoked by almost all of the characters dressed in black, white, and sepia tones – except for one specific exception. Norma is dressed in a seemingly endless number of flowing robes and gowns, all sparkling with sequins and spangles, and so many turbans. So many glorious turbans. The show makes a point about the high price of fame. But if fame leads to that kind of glamour, I’ll start counting my pennies.

SPECIAL EVENT | MEMORIAL DAY PARADE

Each Memorial Day, we commemorate members of the armed forces who were killed in the line of duty. We might ask ourselves if it is enough to passively praise those who have served. Memorial Day is also a time to consider the purposes of our conflicts, and to not only remember the lives destroyed by war, but to consider the future deaths in future wars and in conflicts we currently wage. Bearing witness to suffering and sacrifice must also include a conscious and active meditation on our future trajectory.

The City of Rochester’s Memorial Day Parade will take place on Monday, May 26, beginning at 10:30 a.m. at East Avenue at Alexander Street. The route will follow East Avenue to Main Street and then west on Main to Plymouth Avenue, concluding at about 12 p.m.

The parade will take place rain or shine. Parking is available at East End Garage (475 E. Main Street), Court St. Garage (194 Court Street), South Ave. Garage (39 Stone Street), Washington Sq. Garage (111 Woodbury Boulevard), and Sister Cities Garage (28 N. Fitzhugh Street). Food and drink will be available for purchase via vendors. For more information, call 428-5990.

The 30th Annual Rochester Memorial Day Peace Parade will follow about 100 yards behind the Memorial Day Parade. The public and organizations are invited to gather at East Avenue and Arnold Park at 10 a.m. with signs and banners. The Peace Parade is held in order to show that we can honor the memory of those who have suffered and died by working toward a future of peace and justice.

Passing phrase “Proverbs and Commonplaces” THROUGH JUNE 14 OXFORD GALLERY, 267 OXFORD STREET TUESDAY-FRIDAY: 12 P.M.-5 P.M., SATURDAY: 10 A.M.-5 P.M. | FREE | 271-5885, OXFORDGALLERY.COM [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

The current show at Oxford Gallery is a group of 61 visual meditations on the sticky bits of aphoristic phrasing found within the language of our culture. These phrases, perhaps now cliché, trite bits, nevertheless contain gems of sense and are given new life and twists of interpretation by artistic hands.

Each spring, Oxford Gallery owner James Hall presents a themed group show.

After setting this year’s theme, “Proverbs and Commonplaces,” Hall challenged more than 50 artists to create a work based upon an adage of their choosing.

It’s a challenge in itself to come up with a theme that any artist — whether an abstract painter, a representational painter, or a sculptor — can tackle, Hall says. “I try to find things that are broad enough that anybody can find an approach to them,” he says.

Hall had been reading a book about Flemish Renaissance painter and printmaker, Pieter Bruegel, while he was considering his list of possible themes. This book included the artist’s famous painting, “Netherlandish Proverbs” (also known by other names, including “The Topsy Turvy World,” which depicts a single street scene that contains visual allusions to more than 90 Flemish and Dutch proverbs, Hall says.

Hall left it up to each artist to prick a proverb. Some of the more well-known phrases were chosen by multiple artists who then illuminated the idioms in their own unique manner. For example, “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush” was chosen by four different artists, each of whom answered the challenge differently.

Don Sottile’s wood sculpture, “Duet,” features a small bird gently alighting on the fingertips of a non-threatening, roughly-carved hand, while two others perch on a nearby carved tree. In Jean K. Stephens’ tiny, richly-hued oil painting, “Bird in Hand,” a wood mannequin hand cradles a small and lifeless brown bird, with ribbons of grasses winding elegantly throughout.

Stephens’ artworks consistently bless the 26 CITY MAY 21-27, 2014

eyes and fill the heart with a powerful reverence for minutiae and a satisfying sense of peace.

But more true to the original meaning of the saying, Doug Whitfield’s realist-meets-cartoony painting, “Gatherer,” features a distressed crow grasped by an overwhelming figure who is imagining a platter of cooked poultry. Sculptor Wayne Williams, who is best known for his masterful cast bronze animals, created “Pigeon Loft (Bird in the Hand),” a cast paper relief image of a seated man holding a bird, which explores a non-epicurean reason that feathered friends are valuable.

Debra Stewart’s “Two Peas in a Pod” is part of the proverb-themed group Continuing along the exhibit on view at Oxford Gallery through June 14. PHOTO PROVIDED bird theme, Ray Easton’s acrylic painting “Birds of baskets and nests, the whole scene is a vibrant a Feather” depicts a gathering of birds on a interior set against a subtly present bleak, worn statue of an angel in a lichen-laden, bright winter outside. damp atmosphere. “I think Easton’s piece is Barbara Fox’s two oil-on-copper a very imaginative approach to the proverb,” paintings, titled “Silver Linings,” are bright, in that the different birds have flocked to ethereal, downy dreams of land and sky, another winged creature, Hall says. acutely conveying a sense of hope through Showcased in a window display at the cloudy moments. front of the gallery, Carolyn Edlund’s “The One of the few sculptures in a show Cart Before the Horse” is a photo-real trompe dominated by paintings, William Keyser’s l’oeil painting of toy horse and cart which is “Learn to Walk Before You Run” is an so expertly rendered that it appears to be a acrylic-on-wood, stylish study in colorful, collage.

Three days in the neighborhood “God’s Pocket”

(R), DIRECTED BY JOHN SLATTERY NOW PLAYING AT THE LITTLE [ REVIEW ] BY GEORGE GRELLA

The appearance of “God’s Pocket” suggests the ambiguity inherent in the preservative quality of art, possibly most apparent in the cinema. Something like a posthumous work, the movie stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, a strange, sad circumstance in which the man who died so recently, whose presence remains vivid in memory, of course looks familiar and alive on the screen. The complex balance of the

knowledge of his death and the perfectly real representation on the screen creates a special poignancy that adds to the impact of the film.

A voiceover narration by one of the characters, a perpetually drunk columnist named Richard Shellburn (Richard Jenkins), describes the Philadelphia neighborhood of God’s Pocket in the sort of pseudo-poetic, tough-sentimental terms that certain newspaper writers love, littered with cheap feeling and bad metaphors. As he speaks, the film shows a funeral, a grieving family, and as the mourners depart, someone slugs the funeral director. A sentence on the screen prepares for a flashback to three days earlier, unfolding the story and explaining the funeral and the violence.

The corpse in the funeral is Leon Hubbard (Caleb Landry Jones) the psycho stepson of Mickey Scarpato (Hoffman), the son of Jeanie (Christina Hendricks), who dies as a result of his insults and threats to a fellow employee at a brickyard, a loss that nobody, except his mother, regrets.

with Sal (Domenick Lombardozzi), a vicious local mobster, and his friend Arthur Capezio (John Turturro), finds that Leon’s death complicates his life in unexpected ways. Arthur can’t pay Mickey the money he owes him, Jeanie wants him to find the cause of Leon’s death, and he needs several thousand dollars for the funeral.

That relatively simple situation expands in several directions, branching into different plot lines, often exploding into some shocking, graphic violence. The movie includes three killings, for example, an eye gouging, and a climactic beating when the locals of God’s Pocket, reacting to one of Richard Shellburn’s columns, erupt out of their favorite gin mill and set upon him. Some of the violent actions occur in the most unexpected ways, perpetrated by the most unlikely people, and even mix with a minor love story and some farcical comedy involving Leon’s embalmed corpse and Mickey’s frantic efforts to raise money.

The quality of the cast, an ensemble of character actors, contributes significantly to the success of “God’s Pocket.” All of them, including even those in some of the smallest parts, perform with absolute conviction. Philip Seymour Hoffman, who never disappoints, quietly dominates the picture with the combination of faint hope, sad resignation, and sheer desperation that defines Mickey Scarpato’s character and drives his life.

As the initial narration suggests, the neighborhood itself serves as the chief character in

Damage control “Godzilla” (PG-13), DIRECTED BY GARETH EDWARDS NOW PLAYING [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

the picture. Its people look and speak and behave like the denizens of a tough, insular, working-class community, as ingrown and provincial in its way as any horrible little backwater in Appalachia.

Defiantly proud of their dreary little spot, they justify their hostility to any outsiders on the simple basis of their lack of any history, background, or connection with God’s Pocket.

In its peculiar way, the movie follows a relatively recent trend in motion pictures, the representation of compact, ethnically unified areas, much like the South Boston of “Mystic River” or “The Departed.” Further, it follows the path of those films that concentrate on the essential disappointments of contemporary America, a slice of life in narrow, rigid, often seamy circumstances, whether in parts of big cities or depressing towns right out of “Winesburg, Ohio.” Movies as different as “All the Real Girls,” “The Good Girl,” “Out of the Furnace,” and even “About Schmidt,” show a side of the country that never appears in the romantic comedies, the grand blockbusters, even the great staple genre flicks.

A couple of years ago a reporter from Texas, I think, called me, asking about the latest trends in Hollywood productions. I told him that despite the ever more elaborate technology, the digital revolution, the special effects of all kinds, the most interesting development was those films brave enough to show that sad underside of America. Unsurprisingly, he rapidly lost interest in the subject.

The last time Godzilla lumbered his way into theaters in an American-originated film was back in 1998, when director Roland Emmerich attempted to capitalize on audiences’ love affair with giant lizards — reawakened by the massive success of “Jurassic Park” and its sequel — by grafting them into another of his disaster porn epics, à la “Independence Day,” with predictably abysmal results. That it’s taken 16 years for someone to try again speaks to the amount of damage done to the big guy’s brand by that film. Now British director Gareth Edwards takes a swing at the infamous kaiju, and his “Godzilla” benefits from his clear artistic vision.

Though Edwards — whose only previous experience was the microbudgeted 2010 indie film, “Monsters” — is clearly also a fan of Steven Spielberg’s creature features, he’s an impeccable visual stylist with an eye for spectacular imagery that captures the sense of wonder, awe, and terror of the King of the Monsters.

His film comes closer than any other Godzilla movie to capturing the somewhat mournful tone of the 1954 original, coming from Japan’s grappling with a very real, and

still very fresh fear of nuclear warfare, and Edwards is wise not to discount that aspect of Godzilla’s legacy. The plot loosely centers around the Brody family, as they become caught up in the film’s disastrous series of events. Bryan Cranston plays Joe, who works alongside his wife, Sandra (a criminally underused Juliette Binoche), as an engineer at a Japanese nuclear power plant. When the plant is destroyed early in the film by a series of earthquakes, Sandra perishes, leading Joe to become increasingly obsessed with the incident, convinced that the earthquake explanation provided by authorities is just a cover-up for what really happened.

The film jumps forward 15 years to find Joe and Sandra’s son, Ford (Aaron TaylorJohnson), now grown up, living in San Francisco, and working as a bomb disposal expert for the Navy. When he’s called to collect his father in Japan after Joe runs afoul of the law for trespassing in the quarantined plant site, his arrival coincides with some familiar rumblings from beneath the Earth’s surface. It turns out that Joe’s conspiracy theories were not entirely unfounded, and we soon learn that the quakes are being caused by two MUTOs (Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organisms) who’ve been awakened by humankind’s meddling.

And it turns out that they’re not the only creature that’s stirring.

Ken Watanabe and Sally Hawkins play scientists who’ve spent their lives studying these creatures and helpfully provide all the necessary exposition: it seems that the arrival of the MUTOs has triggered another creature to arise from beneath the ocean, whose job it is to restore nature’s balance and safeguard the earth against these creatures, and his name is Godzilla. Unfortunately, it appears that the paths of all three creatures will converge in San Francisco, so something must be done to stop them I’ve seen complaints about the size of

Godzilla’s role in the movie (he doesn’t make his first full appearance until nearly an hour in), but people seem to have forgotten that

he wasn’t in large portions of the 1954 film either. While Edwards knows we’re here to see giant monsters battle it out, he delays giving us what we want for quite some time, content to give us brief glimpses and cutting away just as the action seems to be getting good. Instead of following the template of most modern summer movies, which tend to feel like a long series of climaxes as action sequences pile up on one another, creating a numbing effect for audiences (see: “Man of Steel”) the technique builds anticipation and the delayed gratification makes it all the more satisfying when we finally get to the carnage.

The problem comes in that all of the film’s human characters are so thinly sketched that for all the time we spend with them, we never become invested in their stories. The film is loaded with great actors, but none of them is given a part to truly sink their teeth into, and the character we spend the most time with is played by the least compelling actor of the bunch.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson isn’t a strong enough presence to make his desperate attempts to reunite with his wife (played by a completely wasted Elizabeth Olsen) and young son compelling, but it doesn’t help that the film falls into the trap of having him present at every crucial confrontation with the monsters, which starts to get a little ridiculous.

Still, in the end it doesn’t really matter much. The film delivers where it’s most important, making the monster-smashing action as spectacular as one could hope.

Appropriately, Godzilla is given the full hero treatment in his battle scenes — just try to suppress a smile when he lets out his first mighty roar. In the end, the fact that the humans are constantly dwarfed by the behemoths around them is likely somewhat intentional. As they scramble to get out of the path of the massive, rampaging beasts, occasionally making ineffectual efforts to stop them, it’s a reminder of how insignificant we are in the face of nature’s power and sometimes all we can do is get out of the way.

With its stunning exterior features, the house is as grand today as it must have been in 1897 when it was built. Its bold red, green, and blue exterior colors, multiple-gabled roof enhanced with decorative half-timbering, and broad front porch are characteristic of a Queen Anne house. The sweet aroma of hyacinths blooming in the lovely front yard garden and the imposing double-door entry welcome you in.

As the exterior is impressive, so is the interior.

The enormous living room has all the space you need to host a large neighborhood party or family gathering. Its sunny bay window and fireplace also make it a cozy space to spend a quiet afternoon. Pocket doors open to the adjacent, equally large dining room, which features an elegant coffered ceiling. The original swinging door opens to the butler’s pantry and the kitchen beyond. Another large

space off the dining room that may have been a parlor now serves as an office.

A grand staircase leads you to the second floor.

But stop for a moment on the landing to check the view from the three ribbon windows that add sunlight to the foyer below. The second floor has five spacious bedrooms—enough room for a large family or several weekend guests. Two full bathrooms, each with its original clawfoot tub, complete the second floor. If you need more space, an unfinished third floor awaits development. Outside, the backyard is fully fenced, and the original carriage house is now a two-car garage.

Maplewood today is alive with community spirit. The active neighborhood association sponsors an annual festival in the Maplewood Rose Garden with arts, crafts, and, of course, roses. The neighborhood is close to downtown and the Seneca Park Zoo to the north. It is served by the Rochester City School District, and Nazareth Academy and Aquinas Institute are nearby. The house is also located in the Maplewood Historic District, allowing homeowners to take advantage of the NYS Historic Homeowners Tax Credit program, which provides a 20% tax credit on qualifying rehab expenses.

30 Lake View Park is listed at $139,900.
