JULY 2-8, 2014

Sprawl is real in the greater Rochester region (“Reining in Rural Sprawl,” News). While we have maintained a similar number of people, 1 million, since the 1970’s, the expansion of retail, housing, and infrastructure has more than doubled the developed space used. There has been little to no discussion or plan as a region, and as a consequence each town or city makes decisions independently, unaware or not interested in larger trends or long-term consequences.

Thinking clearly about BIDs

Even though the published literature on the proposed Business Improvement District (much of which has been published by City) talks as if it’s a done deal, it’s not. Taxpayers have a right to read about the potential positive aspects of such a program, and I applaud all those who have worked so diligently to collect and communicate this information. However, we also have the right to be educated about the possible downsides of BIDS. That’s an ethical treatment of an issue. I’m not saying I’m for or against BIDS. I don’t have enough specific information on the potential downside to make that determination. The materials published by the Rochester Downtown Development Corporation offer only one side of the story, a bright, optimistic one that reads as though the BID has already been voted in. This type of approach is what Rolf Dobelli, in his international bestseller, “The Art of Thinking Clearly,” explains is the fallacy of Forecast Illusion. As a city taxpayer and property owner, I’ve read the materials, and my business partner met directly with members of the Rochester Downtown Development Corporation at its May meeting. Here’s what I still don’t know:

I appreciate City Newspaper’s ongoing coverage of this issue. STEPHEN KARL

Covering city schools I wish our local media would do a better job reporting positive stories about Rochester city school district students (“The Under-reported Power of Parental Engagement,” News Blog). What a disservice is done to these children to see their local media – including City News – constantly reflecting such negativity. Why shouldn’t we expect students to fail when they constantly see failure reflected back at them from supposedly well-meaning journalists? There was a time when “School News” was an important part of a newspaper’s commitment to the community, and the daily activities of kids in schools were exalted as

Even though my extra charges will increase about 900 percent ($34 annually for Red Shirt services versus a jump to an estimated $350 annually for BID), no one can tell me exactly what extra services I will receive. I read and hear about a lot of generalities, but no specific checklist of exactly what I can count on at my property for this large an increase. Who exactly is currently paying for all the BID printed materials, web page, guest speakers, and meetings? We were told it was all through grant money, but no specific grants were named nor were any costs of all of this shared. Are there alternatives to a BID? No one on the BID committee seems to want to address this. Yet I look at other city successes (Rochester’s South Avenue’s development being one) that have been completed with a strong neighborhood association and citizens, not a BID. Someone suggested to me, “Isn’t a BID really just a tax on a tax?” When asked this, BID advocates say no, but no one seems to explain exactly how the services will differ and why these “extra” services cannot be a part of our current tax structure. How will we know if the BID is a success? Even more important,

important. If Tim Macaluso says that parental engagement may be key, I would say that perhaps he and his colleagues could also be better engaged in the lives of our city kids if they truly want to see improvement in academic outcomes. LARRY CHAMPOUX

Priorities

The City of Rochester and the County of Monroe are hard at work on money for Frontier Field while the killings continue in Rochester (“Council Hears Recommendations for Frontier Upgrades, Other Projects,” News Blog). Yesterday three people were shot: one 14-year-old girl (stable condition, in hospital ), one 25-year-old male (condition unknown, in hospital ), one 18-year-old male (murdered, dead, and gone, currently residing at the county morgue.) CRM135790

what do we, the BID payers, receive back if it does not succeed? RDDC should produce SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-based) goals and specific objectives that will measure the BID’s success, and these should be monitored by an entity outside of the BID system. As a property owner who loves this city, has made major improvements to what were two very rundown properties (without taking a nickel of the city’s money to do it and being given no tax breaks), I’m just breaking even on one property. With a BID, I’ll be pushed into the red, which means I’ll consider moving out of the city and investing in a nearby suburb without a BID unless I can see both sides of the story. I truly welcome specific answers to these questions. Perhaps the answers will convince me to stay in the city. I encourage every downtown taxpayer to ask questions (details at rochesterbid.org). As Mr. Dobelli suggests in his book, about the Forecast Illusion: “be critical when you encounter predictions….” I would ask the forecasters of the BID to communicate both sides of the argument publicly to those of us who will be paying the bill.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Downtown rising? Do I say this every year? The Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival gives us a nine-day glimpse of what we could be. It’s not just the massive crowds in front of the outdoor stages for the free performances, or headline acts that sell out in minutes. It’s the hourplus lines to get into Kilbourn and Max and other venues for jazz by groups many of us have never heard of. It’s the crowds spilling out the door at Bernunzio’s and the people gathered to watch musicians playing down in Victoire’s outdoor dining area. It’s the full houses applauding the Nordic jazz groups at the Lutheran Church. And the buskers on the street. And it’s the loud cheers every night when John Nugent walks out onto a stage. Nugent, a transplanted Canadian, has become a genuine Rochester celebrity. And he deserves to be, as does his Jazz Fest partner, Mark Iacona. When they launched the festival, they had more faith in this community than a lot of people have had. As the Jazz Festival was filling the streets downtown, business and property owners were studying a proposal for a Business Improvement District, patterned after those in such cities as Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Boston. The BID would ramp up the “clean and safe” kinds of things that are essential to downtown’s health – sweeping, beautifying, patrolling – as well as events that boost its vitality. On their own, those efforts won’t create what downtown really needs – more businesses opening, more people moving there – but they’ll make downtown more attractive and put more people on the street. And they’ll create a sense of a public center for the Greater Rochester area: a gathering place for the larger community. And now developer Larry Glazer of Buckingham Properties seems to be buying up half of downtown. Glazer, like the Jazz Festival’s John Nugent and Mark Iacona, has faith in downtown Rochester and its future, and he thinks he can make money investing there. Glazer isn’t the only one. Morgan Management, Mark IV, Gary Stern, John Billone, and others continue to invest in downtown and nearby neighborhoods. Rochester needs so much. We have the third highest poverty rate of large US cities, bested only by Detroit and Cleveland. We need jobs for city residents. New development downtown offers hope of jobs, but frankly, their numbers would be limited. The job training needs for many city adults are enormous, and far too few Rochester students get out of school welleducated enough to get a job of any kind.

Success isn’t guaranteed. While Larry Glazer and others are investing downtown, development continues in the suburbs.”

Still, the faith of developers and the Jazz Festival’s producers, the efforts of the Rochester Downtown Development Corporation leaders who are behind the BID proposal: all of them give me hope. But success isn’t guaranteed. As everybody has said a million times, the population of this region is basically flat. And while Glazer and others are investing downtown, development continues in the suburbs. At a recent RDDC meeting on the BID project, a representative from Cincinnati mentioned that seven Fortune 500 companies have offices in his city’s downtown. I could weep. In Detroit, Quicken Loans founder Dan Gilbert has not only bought 50 downtown buildings but has also been pressing other regional business leaders to relocate there. He knows that if downtown Detroit doesn’t survive, neither will the rest of the city – and neither will the Detroit region. In Rochester, the growing investment downtown means we’re on the right path. Now if we could just convince developers of suburban projects to stop competing with the city. But that’s blasphemy – as is regional land-use planning. So we have survival of the fittest: a good business concept, in theory. In this flat-population region, though, all of these developers are taking a big risk. The pull of the suburbs is strong, and downtown developers like Larry Glazer may be the first to fail. But the suburban developments won’t be far behind. Here, as in Detroit, if downtown fails, so will the region. And we’ll all suffer. rochestercitynewspaper.com

Contractors chosen for train station

A team lead by the Pike Company of Rochester will design and build the Rochester Intermodal Transportation Center on Central Avenue. The new, larger station will include two additional passenger tracks and a new passenger platform accessed through a concourse from the new station. Greyhound and Trailways bus operations will be added in a later phase of construction. The Pike team’s work should begin this fall.

Fracking bans stand

Fracking bans in the towns of Dryden and Middlefield will stand under a ruling issued by the state’s top court. A panel of State Court of Appeals judges said that towns and villages can use zoning laws to prohibit fracking, as Dryden and Middlefield did. The court’s decision basically says that the state’s Oil, Gas, and Solution Mining Law doesn’t preempt municipalities’ authority to regulate land use.

CSI: invasive species

RGH and Unity join forces

Merger plans for Rochester General Hospital and Unity Health System have been approved by the board members of both organizations. The merger creates the second largest health system in the region with a combined work force of about 14,000.

The Erie Canal revolutionized transportation and commerce by giving farmers and merchants a cheaper, easier way to move goods across the state. The present-day canal is primarily a recreational waterway, though it might also be taking on a new, undesirable role as a pathway for the spread of aquatic invasive species between some state waters, including the Great Lakes.

RTA files complaint against district

The Rochester Teachers Association filed a grievance against the Rochester City School District, claiming that end-ofyear testing was badly mismanaged. The RTA says the tests had factual errors and required teachers to conduct some tests on students individually. Most of the union’s complaint involves testing in the lower grades.

Researchers with the Nature Conservancy collected samples of Erie Canal water to test for invasive species DNA. This photo is from last year’s collection efforts. PROVIDED PHOTO

That’s why Nature Conservancy researchers are on the canal this summer, collecting water samples. The samples, which will be locationtagged, will be tested to see if they contain DNA markers that match up with known genetic sequences from some key invasives, such as Asian carp, northern snakehead, killer shrimp, Asian clam, and hydrilla. “We look for aquatic invasive species in the canal because the canal has so much connectivity,” says Rob Williams, a conservation practitioner with the Nature Conservancy of Central and Western New York. “It connects the Great Lakes to the Finger Lakes, the Finger Lakes to Oneida Lake, Oneida Lake to the Champlain Canal to the Hudson River. So it’s a potentially big pathway.”

The crew traveled through Rochester last week. The samples they collected will be processed by a SUNY Brockport lab before heading to Central Michigan University for analysis. The environmental DNA testing is very sensitive and allows researchers to detect even trace amounts of genetic material, says Andrew Tucker, aquatic invasive species applied ecologist with the Nature Conservancy’s Great Lakes Project. The goal of the testing is to identify potential threats before the species establish themselves so that the threat can be contained or eradicated, Tucker says.


A bigger concern is what happens to students’ motivation when they are in a school that’s being phased out. Motivation plummets, behavior problems increase, and attention to learning grows difficult. Students become disconnected and it shows up in low attendance and low graduation rates.

The hidden price of replacing schools Rochester schools Superintendent Bolgen Vargas has been clear that he doesn’t like phasing out low-performing schools in favor of new schools as a way to improve academic achievement. He doesn’t like the approach, he says, because it doesn’t work. And recent graduation data reinforces his opinion, he says. Nine schools that began phasing out under former superintendent JeanClaude Brizard have, in general, lower graduation rates than much of the rest of the district. The graduation rate for the 2009 cohort — meaning the 2009 freshman class — at School of Imaging and Information Tech is approximately 47 percent, for example. The rate at Bioscience and Health Careers is 40 percent, while John Marshall’s graduation rate is approximately 28 percent. The lowest graduation rate is at Thomas Jefferson with 20 percent. By comparison, most of the grad rates for the non-phase-out schools are near or above 50 percent, with School of the Arts and School Without Walls above 85 percent. The grad rate for Rochester’s 2009 cohort, if you include August graduates, is approximately 48percent.

The phase-in, phase-out model has other impacts, too. Students get shuffled from one building to another, and often many of the same people teaching in the failing schools end up teaching in the new schools. The closing schools see their resources and amenities dry up. A bigger concern is what happens to students’ motivation when they are in a school that’s being phased out. Motivation plummets, behavior problems increase, and attention to learning grows difficult. Students become disconnected and it shows up in low attendance and low graduation rates. Parents don’t like the approach, either. Frequently they have moved to an apartment or house because it’s closer to a certain school, convenient to where they work, or maybe there’s a specific school program that appeals to them. Then they learn that their family’s daily routines are being upended. This is extremely stressful for many district families. The model is one of the options the State Education Department gives school districts with failing or so-called priority schools to turn around low achievement. The failing schools are gradually closed

over a four-year period and new schools are opened usually starting with a freshman class. District spokesperson Chip Partner says Vargas believes that the district’s graduation rate should begin to improve because the school closings are complete. The impact the phase in, phase out model had on the system should diminish, he says.

UR-East deal still on After several weeks of rushed and sometimes tense negotiations, the University of Rochester and the Rochester school board have agreed on a plan that turns management of East High School over to the university. An executive summary of the plan is on the UR’s website, http://www. rochester.edu/pdfs/RCSD-EPOexecutive-summary.pdf. If the plan is approved by the State Education Department, the UR will become responsible for guiding the academic turnaround of the city’s largest high school. At a press conference earlier this week, UR President Joel Seligman said that while the university can’t rescue all of the district’s failing schools, he’s convinced that East can be saved. Seligman said the goal is to raise East’s graduation rate from 42 percent to 84 percent over the next seven years. The plan reduces East’s student population to about 700 students and divides the school into three groups: a lower school for grades 6 to 8 or 7 to 8; a freshman academy specifically focused on ninth grade; and an upper house to guide students to career or college readiness. The comprehensive version of the plan will be submitted to the SED in December 2014, for implementation in the 2015-2016 school year.

Webster plans upgrades to critical corridor

Sale Store, a hobby shop, salons, and a shoe repair shop, among many others. “I would challenge you to go into a lot of villages and find a shoe repair place,” Cahill says. But village officials don’t yet have the $1 million they need to fund the project. They won’t find out until October if they’re approved for the federal transportation grant that would cover the bulk of the project. If the application is rejected, officials say they will probably proceed with smaller, targeted projects as funding allows. The project does have significant support. Earlier this month, Senator Chuck Schumer publicly urged the state — which administers the federal funding in question — to approve the application. And State Senator Mike Nozzolio, Assembly member Mark Johns, Webster schools Superintendent Adele Bovard, Monroe County Legislator Carmen Gumina, and Webster Supervisor Ron Nesbitt have signed letters supporting the project. Nesbitt and Town of Webster officials even held back an application they planned to submit for funding from the same grant pool, Cahill says, in order to give the village project better odds. North Avenue is a heavily-traveled fourlane road fronted by diverse businesses. Most operate out of converted houses, with paved parking lots next to or behind them. An exception is the Dunkin’ Donuts, which looks like a typical chain store. “It’s pretty commercialized right now and there’s some traffic flow issues,” Cahill says. If the North Avenue corridor were located outside of the village, in a carcentered commercial strip, it wouldn’t seem so out of place. But it’s in a village with a compact, walkable, busy downtown. And villages are supposed to be welcoming to pedestrians and cyclists, as well as those travelling by car. In its

But Burkhart has since found other things she likes about the village, too. Building owners take good care of their properties, she says, and the village has a good sense of community. Residents support Webster’s small businesses, she says. “It’s nice to have that small-towncharacter feel, which I think Webster does,” Burkhart says. Webster’s cozy charm is important to village residents and business owners. To enhance that appeal, Webster officials have put together a $1 million proposal to remake an important commercial corridor in the village. The proposal focuses on North Avenue between Main Street and Orchard Street, a half-mile section of four-lane road. The village plans to add bike lanes and improve sidewalks, as well as install several high-visibility crosswalks, new street lighting, trees, and signs to direct people to parking. Officials say it’s more than just another public works project. North Avenue connects the village’s downtown core to the Route 104 expressway, which means it serves as a gateway. The road also intersects with two multiuse trails, which connect the village to the larger Town of Webster. (The project includes revamped connections between the trails and North Avenue.) “In the village, it’s an economic development project as well because the goal is to continue to make it easy to bring people into the community and have them seek services, restaurants, and just enjoy coming into the core of the community,” says Matt Chatfield, economic development specialist for Webster Community Coalition for Economic Development. The downtown businesses draw visitors, says Mayor John Cahill. The village downtown is filled with unique, locally-owned businesses that provide an alternative to shopping at big-box stores, he says. The businesses include the Garage

The decision to open a second location of her bridal shop, Heart to Heart Bridal, in the Village of Webster a few years ago was based in part on demographic factors, says owner Janice Burkhart. That includes area incomes, she says, and the number of people nearby who might get married. And she found an enviable location at the corner of West Main Street and North Avenue, which is the village’s main intersection. The location, combined with the storefront’s big windows, give the shop visibility.

current state, North Avenue is somewhat at odds with that philosophy. An example: along some parts of North Avenue, the sidewalk ends at the street, which has no shoulder. Walking on those

sidewalks can be intimidating, since there’s no buffer to make pedestrians feel safe. The situation also serves as an example of how the village’s proposal can make a difference. If the village


eliminates some of sidewalk surface next to the road, it can create a tree lawn — the fancy term for a buffer of grass and trees, Chatfield says. And while bike lanes would give cyclists some on-road accommodation, they’ll also have other desired impacts, Chatfield says. North Avenue is wide, with wide lanes, which many traffic experts say encourages drivers to go faster. There’s plenty of room to shrink down the car lanes and add lanes for bikes, Chatfield says. “So that will hopefully slow down traffic a little bit,” he says. The high-profile support behind the North Avenue project is advantageous, officials say. But the proposal also benefits from years of planning and some serendipity, they say. The concept emerged a few years ago in a revitalization study for the village’s downtown. It was carried over into a downtown plan that was finalized in November. Soon after that document was finished, village officials learned about the federal funding opportunity and began putting their proposal together. Village officials also recently resolved a dispute with Morgan Management regarding an incentive zoning application. The developer sought approval for a town house and apartment complex within the North Avenue project area, but some village officials thought the project was too large. The developer agreed to scale it back, which satisfied the majority of Village Board members. As part of the agreement, the developer is giving the village $175,000 toward the North Avenue project. The federal grant requires the village to kick in some of its own money for the project, and officials will use the developer’s payment for that purpose. And Webster officials are talking with the State Department of Transportation to try to coordinate a DOT plan to repave East and West Main streets with the North Avenue project. Village officials want to see if some elements of their project could be worked into the DOT’s plan. “The timing of this couldn’t have been more perfect,” Cahill says.

DEVELOPMENT | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

uch of what you see when you catch a glimpse of the city’s skyline is part of Larry Glazer’s real estate empire. Glazer’s company, Buckingham Properties, either owns, co-owns, or manages nearly 13 million square feet of real estate space, including some of downtown Rochester’s most iconic buildings: Midtown Tower, Xerox Square, and the Bausch and Lomb building. Glazer, Buckingham’s CEO and managing partner, began the company in the late 1960’s when he partnered with a friend on a duplex. Now with 60 buildings in the Rochester area as well as projects in Florida, Buckingham is a rapidly growing, highly diversified real estate development company. Glazer says he learned early on that a key to success in the real estate business is what developers call “assemblage.” “You become impactful in an area — not dominant and controlling, but more impactful,” he says. “It’s not about a single house or a store; it’s what can you do that positively impacts an area.” Glazer says he applies that philosophy to his business. That includes his plans for the Midtown site beyond Midtown Tower — which will be a combination of residential, office space, and retail when it’s completed. “We’re trying to acquire other properties over there because we want to be impactful,” he says.

Glazer has presented a plan to city officials that includes more retail space, a movie theater, and possibly a hotel. He’s dubbed the massive project “The Grove.” To say that Glazer is bullish on downtown is a gross understatement. Despite a sometimes less-than-rosy economic outlook for upstate New York, Glazer says he believes that downtown is poised for an upturn. His biggest challenge may be convincing the rest of us.

“Seriously, if you can’t handle risk, then don’t get out of bed in the morning.” — Larry Glazer —

The Bausch + Lomb building is Larry Glazer’s most recent purchase. PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLAIN

The opportunities are there, he says, but after so many years of negative news, people, including financiers, have developed a “show me” attitude. Getting over that hurdle is half the battle for developers in this area, he says. Glazer says he isn’t foolhardy when it comes to risk, and he doesn’t believe he is overextending himself with the investments he’s making in downtown. Another lesson he’s learned about real estate, he says, is that you can control a lot of things, but you can’t control the timing of opportunities. And you have to decide whether or not to act on them, he says. In a recent interview, Glazer talked about his plans for downtown and why Rochester needs more state and federal financial aid. He says that while he supports a Business Improvement District for downtown in theory, he’s not convinced downtown should start one at this time. (A BID is where business owners agree to a service fee to maintain and market the area.) The following is an edited version of that discussion. Your fingerprints are all over downtown. Do you have a vision for what downtown could look like in 10 years?

Glazer: I did not start out with a vision. The reality is I look at a building and I try to figure out if it makes economic sense. If we can figure out how to do it and make it work, then we go after it. It so happens recently that one opportunity came after another, and one thing I’ve learned in all my years in real estate is that you don’t pick the timing; the situation tells you whether the opportunity is there and you can either do the deal or not do it. But you don’t get to choose the timing. We’ll go through great periods where it’s pretty quiet. Then all of sudden, 16 properties will come along and each of them makes sense. And since we’re trying to be impactful to an area, you have to figure some things out. Can you handle

them? Can you run them properly? Can you finance them? My vision starts with the idea that downtown can come back and it will be vibrant. It will be different than it was. But I’ve spent the last few years traveling around this country looking at downtowns, and I see what they’ve done. And I’m telling you that there’s no reason why Rochester can’t do it, too. Has the city been a good, businessfriendly partner?

People were very worried about this last election, and they asked me what I thought. Here we have a good mayor [Lovely Warren], in my opinion, who has a vision. She wants to get from point A to point B. I don’t think she’s as concerned with process as other mayors, but she has a mission and she wants to get this stuff done. And she’s in a hurry. She understands the importance of employment for city people, neighborhood development, and improving city schools. And the fact that she’s focused her energy on this is really good.

Is there a city that you think Rochester could learn from?

I recently flew out to Seattle and it so blew me away that I couldn’t get over it. I was in awe of what they’ve done to this old industrial city. Their downtown office section is so vibrant it’s scary, and everybody thinks, “Well, it’s Seattle.” But really they’ve been able to do it because they have some homegrown businesses that committed themselves to downtown. Google is just finishing up on eight million square feet of space downtown, Microsoft has 15 million square feet of space, and Boeing has six million square feet downtown. And these are companies that are not located in skyscrapers and high-rise

buildings. These are companies that repositioned themselves in older, industrial age buildings. People there have a whole different attitude toward downtown than I’ve seen elsewhere. For example, they strongly discourage cars. They’ve invested in mass transit so you can move around easily. Parking doesn’t become as big of an issue. Still, people are going to ask how that applies to Rochester, because Rochester is not Seattle. Are you using that’s city’s approach to addressing parking as an example of transformative decision-making and leadership?

Yes. But look, we’re not going to change that fast. For example, we’re still very much a car society. And if you don’t deal effectively with parking [in Rochester], you don’t have anything. You have almost nothing to give people. I have learned that over and over. Parking is a fact of life and people here want convenient, inexpensive, and safe parking. And the thing is if they don’t get it here, they can go to Irondequoit, Brighton, Chili, or anywhere they want and they can get it for free. Much has been written about the economies of the upstate cities, particularly Rochester and Buffalo, that isn’t favorable

or encouraging. So what makes you so bullish on Rochester?

Have you been to Buffalo lately? You won’t believe it. It’s on fire. And I’m from Buffalo, so I know the area well. And there’s no question that for a while, it was a behindthe-times place. But in the last couple of years, they have really pulled together. We are way behind Buffalo, in my opinion. But when you have a lot of catching up to do, that’s what creates opportunities. And that’s what I love about Rochester right now. There’s so much going on, and so much potential. And when I say downtown, I don’t mean that little Midtown section of Main Street. I think it’s really important to keep expanding the definition of downtown; don’t let the walls of the Inner Loop be the definition of downtown. Here’s the problem: We have a history of failures here — the Fast Ferry, and a variety of other things. And that puts people in a “show me” mood. So somebody has to be the first guy to step up and say, “I believe it’s going to happen.” There are a lot of really good developers here doing great things. Unfortunately, these really big projects are like big ships continues on page 10 rochestercitynewspaper.com

Saint of downtown that take a lot to turn around. But once that happens, momentum starts to build. And I think that’s where we are. So even with high taxes, decades of jobs leaving the area, declining population, you’re still optimistic?

The answer is yes. Everything you’ve said is correct, but there are still a million people in this area. And they still need goods and services. They need places to live and places to go. Somebody is going to fill those needs. I say, why shouldn’t it be us? Clearly you see opportunities in downtown, particularly for residential development. But don’t we need population and economic growth to hedge the kind of investments you’re making? Otherwise, isn’t everyone scrambling for the same limited number of city tenants?

Rochester’s population has stabilized, but I think there’s a lot more work to do to make the area grow. More of the right kind of development is needed to create momentum. But we’re closer than we’ve been. I personally believe that it’s wrong to shuffle the chairs around on the Titanic; that’s just moving people around for the sake of moving people around. That’s a lose-lose for everybody involved. As a developer, of course I want as many tenants and as many buildings as I can get. But it’s not right to do that; it’s not good for the area. It destroys the tax base and it does a lot of other bad things. Sure, in the short term, the guy who gets the tenants is happy. But what are they gaining? What is the city gaining? Nothing, that’s what. (Glazer says he’s had numerous opportunities where other landlords’ tenants have come to him for space. In those cases, he says he’s urged the landlords to work something out with their tenants.) Now if somebody called from Spencerport or Livingston County and said, “I want to move to downtown,” I would grab them in a second. Governor Cuomo committed to a $1 billion economic turnaround package for Buffalo in 2012. Is that what’s behind Buffalo’s growth? And are the county and state doing enough to help spur economic growth and rebuild Rochester’s downtown?

The truth is Buffalo went to the government and said, “We’re dying. We need serious help.” Rochester had a long history of being very successful. We had Xerox, Kodak, Bausch and Lomb, and those are just the big names. The list went on and on. We had low unemployment, great schools, and a stable government. But times have changed. We need help. 10 CITY JULY 2-8, 2014

“My vision starts with the idea that downtown can come back and it will be vibrant.” — Larry Glazer —

The Tower at Midtown will consist of a mix of residential, office space, and retail when it is completed. RENDERING PROVIDED BY BUCKINGHAM PROPERTIES

The parity that Mayor Warren and Mayor Richards talk about is serious. We are not getting the same level of aid as Buffalo and Syracuse because for years, people thought we didn’t need it. Now we have the most pressing needs. This is a real concern of mine. Today, we don’t have the lay business leadership that we used to have. Those people who cared enough to make a difference, to pick up the phone and make things happen aren’t here. And those who are here aren’t believers in downtown or they live out in the suburbs. They’re not focused on urban matters. And I think we need to start pulling together to make sure we get our fair share of aid. On that point, do you support the Business Improvement District being promoted by the Rochester Downtown Development Corporation?

That’s a slippery and difficult question for me. To be truthful, what they want to accomplish is good. Do I think they are structured properly now to accomplish what needs to be accomplished? Probably not. I’ve been in all of the meetings, and I think there’s more work that needs to be done. But I have been in other cities that have BID’s, and they can be very successful. Some people say you’re overextending yourself with all of these investments. Is there a risk that Midtown Tower, for example, doesn’t turn out the way you want and becomes a detriment to the city instead of an asset?

Is Midtown a risk? Yes. Life is a risk. Seriously, if you can’t handle risk, then don’t get out of bed in the morning.

What I don’t think people see necessarily is that this is hard work and I’ve always chosen hard work over risk. And this [Midtown Tower] is riskier than the kind of projects I’ve tackled in the past. I have to take a building apart and I have to put it back together. It’s sitting on top of a garage, which means that there are all kinds of construction issues. The walls on that thing are a foot thick. And the building wasn’t taken apart carefully. And when we put it back together, we have to deliver to people what they want. And we have to do it cost-effectively. We had to get banks to step up after we’ve had all these years of negativity with everybody saying, “Downtown is dying.” I’m saying to them, “Believe me, we’ll do it, and give me $50 million. And by the way I don’t have any tenants.” If you look at Midtown Tower, more than half of the building will be residential. I have no question that the residential will fill right up. It’s going to be a unique product competitively priced with great amenities, and it’s in a great location. We have the first floor and that’s going to be retail. It’s a bit tricky, but I think there’s a demand for good retail downtown.

That leaves the second and third floors for offices, and I am working on a lease that will fill the whole space and bring 500 new jobs downtown if it works. This is a national tenant that’s new to the area. We want to take parcel two [at the Midtown site]. We have a letter of intent signed from a company that wants to put a 10-screen movie theater in here. We would have 50,000 more square feet of retail and maybe a hotel. Every developer has ups and downs. Talk about one of your failures and why it didn’t work.

We bought this shopping center in the city and we bought it at the right price, but we could not fill that space with tenants. It was really tough. Somebody came to me and said, “Why don’t you open a department store and we’ll be partners?” The deal was that he would stock the stores for us and we would run the business. I so got my ass handed to me on that one. The store lasted about four months. I licked my wounds and moved on.

Let’s do lunch [ CHOW HOUND ] BY KATIE LIBBY

If you’ve been downtown during the lunch hour then you’ve undoubtedly witnessed the increased pulse of our fair city. Plop down on a bench with a sandwich and you can watch the law office couriers rush past you, or see the worker bees who have removed their cubicle shackles to take a walk and get some fresh air. You can almost forget that once 5 p.m. hits on a week day, downtown can start to feel a little empty. We are all acutely aware that businesses are now trying to bring more people into the area. Downtown is currently in a state of transition. Historic landmarks, like the Sibley Building, are being renovated and repurposed to try to bring life to the streets beyond the 9-to-5. One of those buildings, the Academy Building (13 South Fitzhugh Street), has already changed numerous times in the past. Built in 1873, the building housed the first public high school in Rochester, and at different points included the Municipal Court and the Board of Education. The building is now the home to residential lofts, retail space, and The Founder’s Café, which opened for business in May. A colossal portrait of Nathaniel Rochester gazes over the cozy space — a small seating

area to relax and enjoy a coffee and an assortment of tables for getting down on some grub. A shiny, red Cadillac of an espresso machine announces that this is a full-tilt coffee bar serving your standard cappuccino, latte, and other drinks available to satisfy your java fix. The food menu is geared towards the get in-get out lunchtime crowd, offering an assortment of panini, wraps, sandwiches, and salads that are available for either graband-go or to dine-in. The Carnivore panino ($8.45) features an impressive stack of Black Forest ham, smoked turkey, imported capicola, genoa salami, applewood smoked bacon, and aged New York cheddar. Both the chicken and tuna salads are made inhouse. The Founders Chicken Salad ($7.25) is a crunchy concoction of marinated chicken breast, grapes, walnuts, celery, raisins, almonds and Fuji apple. Why have only one type of cheese in your grilled cheese sandwich when you can have five? This is America, after all. The Artisan Five Cheese and Tomato panino ($7.25) ups the gooey factor with aged New York cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, shaved parmesan, and provolone, and includes some vine tomato so you can say you at least got one serving of fruit today.

Founders Café is located at 13 South Fitzhugh Street. It is open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. All menu items are under $10. For more information, call 770-1721 or find them on Facebook at Facebook.com/FoundersCafe.

Also recently opened downtown is the Executive Café & Bakery (36 West Main Street), located in the Executive Office Building on the corner of Main and Fitzhugh. The café serves breakfast and lunch with an assortment of baked goods also available. Standouts on the lunch menu include a BBQ Salmon Wrap ($8.95), made with grilled North Atlantic salmon, house BBQ sauce, tomato, lettuce, and Bermuda onions. The shop’s version of the chef salad, the Turin Chef ($8.95), adds strips of capicola ham to the standard turkey, greens, and hardboiled egg ingredients. The baked goods menu includes homemade biscotti, monster cookies, cakes, and pies. Also listed is its version of the Cronut — the super-hyped love child of the croissant and the donut that was all the rage downstate over the last year. I was told they were not available yet but would be in the coming weeks. Executive Café & Bakery is located at 36 West Main Street. They are open Monday through

Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. All menu items are under $10. For more information, call 471-8515.

THURSDAY, JULY 3 MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. PARK AT MANHATTAN SQUARE, 353 COURT STREET 5:30 P.M. | $5 | CITYOFROCHESTER.GOV/PITP; DRIVEBYTRUCKERS.COM [ ROOTS ROCK ] I struggled with the genre a bit on this

one. I guess it depends on your focus. If you focus on the songs, it’s alt-country; the pedal steel, then it’s straight up country; the three guitar frontline attack, it’s Southern rock all day. Founded in 1996 in Athens, Georgia, The Drive By Truckers is a prime example of road worn, rootsy rock ‘n’ roll. It’s brash, unapologetic, and relentless in its drive. The band is a sort of iconoclast traditionalist — I mean I saw them cover a Jim Carroll song. Tommy Brunett Band, Moho Collective, and Subsoil (playing during breaks) will also perform.

Upward Groove. Temple

“Between Loves,” the title of tenor saxophonist Florencia Gonzalez’s new the new album, refers to more than romance. Her music reflects both her past, growing up in Uruguay, and her new life in the United States. After studying at Berklee College of Music and New England Conservatory in Boston, Gonzalez has pursued her musical career in New York City. It’s not surprising to find that Gonazlez, in the past, has orchestrated music for 11- and 20-piece bands. Her arrangements for this superb sextet — Jonathan Powell, trumpet and flugelhorn; Shannon Barnett, trombone; Luis Perdomo, piano; Fernando Huergo, bass and Franco Pinna, drums — reflect a keen knowledge of uncommon voicings. Solos by Gonzalez, Perdomo, Powell, and Barnett are unfailingly wonderful. In terms of composition, Gonzalez has a range of inspirations, from the paintings of Joan Miro to the music of John Coltrane. The only non-original tune is an arrangement of “Hurry” by Hugo Fattoruso, a Uruguayan composer she greatly admires. “Between Loves” has a third meaning, explored in the tune bearing that name. In a gorgeous musical metaphor, Gonzalez and her band mates explore the infinite and unsettled territory found in the interplay of two chords. — BY RON NETSKY

Itamar Borochov Quartet “Outset” REALBIRD RECORDS Itamarborochov.com

Picture this: four of the hottest jazz players in the city have been playing together for a while and the music is getting too good not to capture. So they head downtown to the studio where seven original tunes are recorded live in all their glory. New York or Chicago in the 1950’s? Nope — this fantastic group of musicians headed to the studio in Tel Aviv. Itamar Borochov Quartet’s “Outset” is a record begging for a blindfold test. I defy the most seasoned musician to place these players geographically or culturally; that’s how widely the lure of jazz has spread. Trumpeter Borochov and his band mates — Hagai Amir, sax; Avri Borochov, bass; and Aviv Cohen, drums — have created one of the most stunning jazz recordings of the year in Israel. Just as jazz grew out the American melting pot, Borochov’s music incorporates his own influences acquired while growing up in Jaffa, a city rich in Jewish, Muslim, and Christian culture. Although clearly steeped in the American jazz tradition he studied at The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in New York, Borochov is also deeply immersed in Arab music, strains of which come through in his tunes and his solos. Every element of this CD — compositions, arrangements and solos — is so strong, you would never guess that this is Borochov’s debut album. — BY RON NETSKY

Cyndi Cain

Ester Rada

Diane Schuur has the voice of an angel with a rusty halo. That is to say, it’s angelic but Schuur flexes it with sex appeal and impish glee. She’s one hep chick. Opening so wonderful and swinging, the first lady of vocal jazz went from scat to lyric, from contralto squeal to a hooker appeal —- “how, how, how.” If there is one word to describe her early set at Kilbourn Hall tonight, it’s “control” —- control on the range, control on the rhythm section’s hairpin turns and deep dish groove. And can I just say Ulysses Owens is the man! Despite her vocal range on love songs or love-lost songs, Schuur hovers around heartache and heartbreak in a way that is palpable and contagious even in the face of her obvious joy.

Cyndi Cain is a superstar. I could hear her voice booming loud and clear for blocks before I reached the venue. Serving up tunes that had a funky soul vibe, Cain’s pipes were a force to be reckoned with last night. Her body moved with her voice, and she waved her hands and bobbed her head with every riff. And Cain wasn’t the only one moving; the powerhouse vocalist had the crowd inside the Squeezers stage tent grooving and buzzing. Unfortunately, Cain’s bandmates did not match her intensity. Her two background singers moved robotically to the beat with bored looks on their faces. Even the instrumentalists who joined her on stage seemed unenthused. With the passion and confidence that Cain was giving, the nonchalant attitude of her fellow musicians detracted from the overall vibe. You’ve gotta sell the gig, friends - even if you’re not in the spotlight. Still, the show was a quintessential Jazz Fest good time.

Friday, June 27 The Wee Trio

I ended the night with The Wee Trio at the Little Theatre. The most striking thing about the group was the simpatico between the three members. While many groups come across as a collection of disparate musicians, these guys played as one. That might be because of mutual respect; all three are phenomenal players. James Westfall was the latest in a series of top vibraphone players at this year’s festival, Dan Loomis took great bass solos, and Jared Schonig saved his showcase solo till the end. All three provided excellent compositions, but the band was best on Ray Noble’s classic, “Cherokee.” BY RON NETSKY PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLIN

I celebrated the end of the week by partying with Ester Rada in the Unity Health Big Tent. Rada and her bandmates brought a highly contagious, joyful energy to the stage. Her rumbly vocals were backed by a full band of keys, bass guitar, guitar, tenor saxophone, trombone, trumpet, and drum set. They came all the way from Israel to share their love with us, Rada said. The breezy venue is the perfect location for such a lively show, and the crowd was extremely attentive. Indeed, Rada was the first act I saw that legitimately had me dancing beyond just a polite back and forth. Her sound is a mix of soul, jazz, and pop & something that could have mainstream appeal here in the US. I imagined hearing her music on the radio alongside Top 40 hits. As I looked around the venue, it became clear that these kinds of shows are the heart and soul of Jazz Fest. People were enjoying the breeze blowing in from outside and visibly having a great time. Rada could clearly feel the energy and fed off of it. The more she sang, the more engaged she became and danced with even more enthusiasm. It was the highlight of a wonderful week, and the perfect way to close out an amazing experience. BY NICOLE MILANO PHOTO BY MATT DETURCK

CLASSICAL | ROCHESTER PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA INDEPENDENCE DAY CONCERTS

The Fourth of July and classical music have gone together, with or without fireworks, almost since 1776. Thursday, July 3, the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra offers its annual “Salute to America” concert conducted by Michael Berkowitz, including the obligatory “Stars and Stripes Forever” and “1812 Overture” (it’s not about our War of 1812, but don’t blame Tchaikovsky). And the also-obligatory fireworks will burst in the air above CMAC. The RPO performs “Salute to America” on Thursday, July 3, 8 p.m., at CMAC, 3355 Marvin Sands Drive, Canandaigua. $19-$49; lawn seats: $18; children under 18: free on the lawn. Rpo.org; ticketmaster.com, 800-745-3000. Pondering how to celebrate July 4? Join the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra downtown for a summer tradition. Again, Berkowitz will lead the orchestra through patriotic favorites. Enjoy great music, and stay for a spectacular view of the City’s annual fireworks display.

Reverberating Rhythms An Evening of Dance and Performance Art WITH GUEST ARTIST CLAIRE PORTER PRESENTED BY BILL EVANS DANCE COMPANY SATURDAY, JULY 5 HARTWELL DANCE THEATER, 180 HOLLEY STREET, BROCKPORT 7:30 P.M. | $5-$20 | FOR MORE INFORMATION, EMAIL BILLEVANSDANCE@ HOTMAIL.COM; BILLEVANSDANCE.ORG [ DANCE FEATURE ] BY CASEY CARLSEN

After a decade engrained in the Rochester dance scene as a teacher, choreographer, and performer, William Evans, 74, is retiring from The College at Brockport and relocating to Providence, Rhode Island. He has accepted a teaching position at The School of Dance at Dean College. On Saturday, July 5, Evans will present a farewell concert with his company, Bill Evans Dance Company, which has developed a strong following in Rochester using a mix of skilled contemporary dance and jazz, high entertainment, and often, very funny works. The concert, “An Evening of Dance and Performance Art” will feature guest artist Claire Porter, and promises to be a fitting showcase for the company’s talents. Porter, an acclaimed dancer, choreographer, writer, and performance artist, and 2013 Guggenheim Fellow, has created one work and re-staged another for Evans and Don Halquist, Evan’s husband and a leading dancer of the company for 29 years. 20 CITY JULY 2-8, 2014

A new piece Porter created for participants of the annual Evans Teacher’s Intensive will be premiered, and she will perform her humorous solo “Happen Chance.” Evans will present two solos he has choreographed to spoken excerpts from T.S. Eliot poems — “Portrait of a Lady” and “Where You Are Not.” Falon Baltzell and Hilary Denison will also be performing. Lighting is by Benoit Beauchamp. “It’s amazing what Bill has brought to the dance community here,” said Heather Roffe, Program Director of Dance and assistant professor at Nazareth College, and a founding member of Futurpointe Dance. “He is the most dedicated person to his art form that I know. His life is his dance. He’s going to be sorely missed.” Roffe, a certified Evans teacher, studied under Evans at Brockport, graduated with her MFA in dance in 2007, and performed with his company several times. She said she counts herself lucky to have helped administrate for several years running his annual summer intensives in Brockport. “He’s quite well known internationally,” she said. “People come from all over to participate in his summer intensives. And he travels overseas at least once a year himself to guest teach or give a keynote speech. He gets around; people know him.” Roffe raves about Evans as a teacher. “He’s very knowledgeable and just so . . . inspiring, I guess, but that doesn’t really cover

it. You feel rejuvenated after class with Bill. He sees not only intellectually, but senses your feelings and emotions and where you are at that day,” she said. “His is a very somatic approach to movement. He appreciates the interconnect between mind and body that most Western cultures don’t acknowledge. It is more a part of our popular culture now, but back when he started teaching that way it was really sort of groundbreaking.” Evans has developed a specific style of movement and dance instruction. His modern dance is influenced by his training in “Laban Movement Analysis, which, basically, is a scientific way of breaking down dance into common denominators which originated from the work of Rudolf Laban. That provides a shared dance vocabulary, a way of talking about movement and space — similar to a musician grounding himself in music theory,” Roffe said. Kathy Diehl, another dancer who studied and worked closely with Evans and holds her MFA from Brockport, also shared her insights. Diehl performed with Bill Evans Dance Company, is certified in Evans Technique, and has performed at Jacob’s Pillow, arguably the most noted annual dance festival in the Northeast. She will be part of the faculty for the Evan’s workshop in Fort Worth, Texas, later this month. “I discovered my dance identity through my work with [Bill],” she said. “Prior to continues on page 28

ART | “INTERSECTIONS: FORM, SPACE, TIME & COLOR”

“Intersections: Form, Space, Time & Color” is a collaborative series from two painters who couldn’t be less likely to collaborate. Carol Douglas is a prolific oil painter who draws influence from a variety of themes that exist both in and outside of her devout Christian faith, from traditional landscapes to the representation of women. Stu Chait, on the other hand, is an abstract watercolorist who diverges heavily from tradition, whose influence stems from everything from Greek mythology to children’s fables. “Intersections” highlights the subtle dichotomy in the artists’ stylistic and thematic differences, and creates an unlikely yet powerful union. “Intersections: Form, Space, Time & Color” will be showcased from July 7-30, with an opening reception from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday, July 11, at the Dyer Arts Center at RIT’s National Technical Institute for the Deaf, 52 Lomb Memorial Drive.

(American Sign Language) actor assigned to him or her. So there are two languages in use onstage simultaneously: Shakespeare’s, and American Sign Language. The fairy characters communicate in sign language, because they cannot speak to the human characters. But they do sign to one another what it is that the humans are saying. Among themselves, the fairies sign to each other, and voiced actors reenact what the fairies are thinking and signing for the audience. For obvious reasons, signing actors must

Well met by moonlight “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” PRESENTED BY THE ROCHESTER SHAKESPEARE PLAYERS SATURDAY, JULY 5, THOUGH SATURDAY, JULY 19 HIGHLAND PARK BOWL 8 P.M. | FREE | ROCHESTERCOMMUNITYPLAYERS.ORG [ PREVIEW ] BY DAVID RAYMOND

When Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” first printed in 1600, it was already a hit; the title page noted that it had been “sundry times publickely acted” before then. After a 1662 performance, Samuel Pepys described it in his diary as “the most insipid, ridiculous play that ever I saw.” But that’s a minority opinion: Shakespeare’s original is still a favorite, and has inspired any number of romantic comedies in which people are “ill met by moonlight” and tangled relationships are untangled by magical means, preferably under a full moon. “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” returns to Rochester this week as the summer presentation by the Rochester Shakespeare Players. The production starts Saturday, July 5, in Highland Park Bowl, and runs for 11 performances through Saturday, July 19 — each night, except for Monday 22 CITY JULY 2-8, 2014

and Thursday. Admission is free and all performances are at 8 p.m. To describe the plot of the play as simply as possible: three very different groups of people intersect in the woods by moonlight. Two of the groups are mortals — two young couples whose devotion undergoes some testing; and a group of “rude mechanicals” (that is, working-class blokes) who decide to put on a play in the woods. Observing and influencing their behavior are the fairies and their feuding king and queen, Oberon and Titania. During a lively night, the characters’ stories intertwine, often romantically, until all of them come together at the end for a happy ending — and a wedding. Though it’s more than five centuries old, director Luane Davis Haggerty finds “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” still “very relatable in its depiction of the different stages of love and its complications. Shakespeare is also comparing love to magic — the feeling you get when you meet someone who takes your breath away — and I don’t think there’s anyone who can’t relate to that.” Haggerty describes this “Midsummer Night’s Dream” production as “historymaking.” A senior lecturer in the theater department at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, Haggerty is directing the play with a double cast of hearing and deaf actors — 33 people in all. Each role is played by a voicing actor, who has a signing

face forward at all times, so the voicing actors will be moving all over the stage, interpreting the fairy characters’ thoughts and lines. This approach, says Haggerty, makes for complicated rehearsals, but it also transforms the play into “a very physical theater piece. It really pulls it off the page and onto the stage.” Haggerty calls this hearing-deaf doublecasting “history-making,” and according to Shakespeare Players president Peter Scribner, no Shakespeare company in North America has ever attempted it before. Professional theaters would find the costs of hiring two casts prohibitively expensive; a volunteering community theater group like the Shakespeare Players can attempt it. Even more to the point, Rochester has a great resource in the theater department of NTID, whose productions have been nationally recognized for their imagination and excellence. The set and lighting designers for “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” are both deaf, and this Highland Park production gives many talented deaf actors a rare chance to perform outside NTID productions. “Most local companies simply don’t use deaf actors,” Haggerty says. “Of all the different productions that have taken place in Highland Park Bowl since it opened, we think this is the first to use deaf actors.” With its trees, glades, and a goodly complement of fireflies, Highland Park is a natural (no pun intended) setting for the Shakespeare Players’ 18th free summer Shakespeare production. “It’s perfect for ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream,’” Haggerty says. “We’ll have actors coming and going in and out of the audience. We’ll use the whole environment — at least until it gets dark.” To get an idea of how the hearingdeaf double casting will work, visit Rochestercommunityplayers.org for videos of the company’s rehearsals.

The Maafa Celebration Committee will hold its 16th Annual Day of Remembrance on Thursday, July 3, honoring the African lives lost during the Middle Passage.

The 16th Annual Day of Remembrance will take place Thursday, July 3, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., on the DurandEastman Park shoreline (look for the red/black/green flags), Lake Shore Boulevard. Free.

SPECIAL EVENT | INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATIONS

COMEDY | RALPH TETTA & FRIENDS AT THE COMEDY CLUB

KIDS | CATSKILL PUPPET THEATER

Each year, Independence Day serves as an opportunity to both reflect upon and celebrate the nation’s history. Throughout the Rochester area, numerous organizations will host events to commemorate the special day. These are only a few of the many opportunities for July 4 fun in the Rochester area. For information, and a larger list of celebrations, visit the calendar at rochestercitynewspaper.com.

Rochester comedian Ralph Tetta (pictured) and special guests will take the stage at The Comedy Club in Webster to celebrate Independence Day a day early. Their self-proclaimed “Fundependence Day” will feature performances by Tetta and fellow comedians Douglas Berryhill, Chris Alan, Jimmy LeChase, Thomas Bottoms, and Todd Youngman. Tetta, a stand-up veteran of over 25 years, presents a unique show each time he performs. He combines written material and improvisational comedy to discuss current events, news headlines, and the details of his personal life.

On Friday, July 4, family event organizers Cool Kids! Green Kids! will host its annual Catskill Puppet Theater. The event, co-sponsored by the Brockport Kiwanis Club and the Brockport Lions Club, features large mechanical puppets that are used to tell a story and teach a moral to children in attendance. The puppets are accompanied by original music. This year’s performance will present the fable “Sister Rain! Brother Sun!” The group also aims to inspire children to recycle. Attendees are invited to bring used sneakers and office supplies to be recycled by event organizers. Collected materials are redistributed and often used to make new materials, showing children in attendance the power of conservation.

Genesee Country Museum will celebrate the holiday with vintage flair. In place of fireworks, the Museum will draw on a 19th century tradition to loudly celebrate independence. The Museum uses a “flying anvil” to make noise, rather than a cannon. Two anvils are placed bottom-to-bottom, with gunpowder filling the space between them. When the gunpowder is lit, the effect produces a loud boom. The anvils will be accompanied by a patriotic concert, a pie-eating contest, and more. The day is centered around a naturalization ceremony, in which some 50 new citizens will take the oath of allegiance on the steps of the Town Hall. The ceremony takes place at 11 a.m. For more information visit gcv.org. The New York Wine and Culinary Center will host a BBQ Battle Competition and Garden Tent party. Guests can watch teams compete to prepare the best ribs in the NYWCC’s Hands-OnKitchen. The NYWCC’s chefs will provide additional BBQ for tasting. The BBQ Competition will begin at 5 p.m., with tasting and judging taking place at 7 p.m. Intrepid BBQers can arrive at 3 p.m. and pay $125 per team to compete. The entry fee includes necessary ingredients, culinary instruction, and use of the NYWCC’s kitchen. Prizes will be awarded to winners. For more information visit nywcc.com. A number of events will take place throughout the day at the Sodus Bay Lighthouse. The day kicks off with a hot breakfast at 7 a.m. ($8), and continues with a 5K run, art and craft show, and a free concert by the Gap Mangione Big Band. Admission to the Sodus Bay Lighthouse Museum will be free throughout the day. For more information, visit sodusbaylighthouse.org. Brockport’s Morgan-Manning House will celebrate an oldfashioned Fourth of July with a children’s parade, big band musical performances, and various games for kids. Tours of the historic house will be free throughout the day, and food will be available for purchase. The celebration will take place from 10 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. For more information visit morganmanninghouse.org. The City of Rochester will present a fireworks display set to live music from the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra on the Main Street Bridge. Before the performance, local band Shine will bring some funk to the Bridge. The City’s festivities will begin at 7:30 p.m., with fireworks beginning at 10 p.m. Attendees can view the fireworks from the Main Street Bridge, the Broad Street Bridge, Chestnut Street near the Washington Square Garage, as well as nearby streets. Viewers should bring chairs or blankets for their own comfort. For more information visit cityofrochester.gov. — BY ALEX HERRMANN 24 CITY JULY 2-8, 2014

[ REVIEW ] BY GEORGE GRELLA

If nothing else, the latest addition to one of the most successful contemporary franchises demonstrates once again that Hollywood can build a movie, whatever its quality, on the most unlikely foundation. Novels, short stories, plays, comic books, songs, even most recently a painting (“Belle”) provide the sources for hundreds of films, but the “Transformer” series — the latest chapter delineated as “Age of Extinction” — shows that

enormously expensive, enormously profitable blockbusters can grow from a child’s toy: amazing. Beyond its predictable sequences of violent action, automobile chases and crashes, shootouts, explosions, and those familiar metamorphoses, the new movie employs some well-known performers and a surprisingly complicated back story. In the process of telling that story it jumps all over the world, creating several different narrative threads that twine together after a considerable length of time. It begins with a couple of visual allusions to some classic science fiction movies, showing for example the real reason for the annihilation of the dinosaurs — not an asteroid, an ice age, or the No Vacancy sign on Noah’s Ark — the landing of some extraterrestrial machines in an echo of “2001: A Space Odyssey.” Then in a moment recalling “The Thing from Another World,” the scene shifts to the Arctic, where a group of technicians and scientists discover a space ship half buried in the ice.

film settles into its several stories, populated by some

recognizable stars. Mark Wahlberg plays Cade Yeager, a mechanic and inventor in the great American tinkering tradition — Ben Franklin, Thomas Edison, the Wright brothers — who in the process of salvaging obsolete machinery, stumbles on a truck that he brings back to his laboratory/garage. When he repairs the truck he discovers that it’s actually the autobot Optimus Prime, the leader of a band of “good” Transformers who assisted humanity against the baddies in previous chapters. The most important back story involves Yeager and his daughter Tessa (Nicola Peltz), a lovely teenager who resists her widowed father’s attempts to restrict her social life. The conflict between father and daughter explodes when her boyfriend Shane (Jack Reynor) shows up, just in time to rescue the pair from an attack by a gang of CIA agents perfectly willing to kill Tessa to find out the location of Optimus. That attack underlines the movie’s reversal of the traditional conflict between man and machine by showing that favorite cinema cartel, the CIA, led by Harold Attinger (Kelsey Grammer), as the bad guys. Attinger spouts some noble nonsense about defending the world by attempting to destroy all of Optimus Prime’s autobots. He works with Joshua Joyce (Stanley Tucci), whose lab creates a new element, transformium, which enables them to build the most powerful autobot of them all, an evil machine called Galvatron.

Make way for the little guys (and girls) “They Came Together” (R), DIRECTED BY DAVID WAIN NOW AVAILABLE ON VOD AND ITUNES

“We Are the Best!” (NR), DIRECTED BY LUKAS MOODYSSON NOW AVAILABLE ON VOD AND ITUNES [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

Once those characters and their stories emerge, the movie naturally turns into a long series of all the usual spectacular effects of contemporary cinema. It moves all over the world, finally settling in Hong Kong, where innumerable car chases pretty much mess up the city, assisted by lengthy combat scenes between Optimus Prime’s gang of four autobots and Attinger’s own crew of mechanical monsters. These all-too-familiar sequences after a while make a long movie seem even longer; something must be very wrong when constant explosive action becomes intensely boring. All that repeated action alternates with far too many tiresome scenes of ersatz emotion involving the conflict between Yeager and his daughter, who themselves must perform a remarkable series of heroic deeds. The most impressive characters in the movie, of course, remain the Transformers themselves, whose transmutations provide the most fun — sleek muscle cars, nifty diesel trucks, and other items of equipment magically turn into huge robots bristling with cannons, missile launchers, machine guns, even swords; John Goodman voices Hound, the most engaging of them, delivering wisecracks and smoking an electronic cigar. As if all that weren’t enough, the movie also indulges in something like theology. Optimus Prime speaks of the aliens who created him and his colleagues as beings with a particular, if mysterious, design. His speech, delivered with a sort of angry resignation — odd for a robot — tends toward the mystical, but also of course promises a sequel. Prepare yourself, America.

It’s been an exceptional summer at the movies. We’ve been lucky enough to have consistent weeks of crowd-pleasing, smart blockbusters of every variety, from family films (“How to Train Your Dragon 2”) to sci-fi (“Edge of Tomorrow”) to comedy (“22 Jump Street”), but that non-stop stream of quality movies hit a slight speed bump this past weekend with the release of “Transformers: Age of Extinction.” The fourth installment of Michael Bay’s cinematic ode to robotic mayhem had the distinction of being the only film opening in wide release. So what better time to check out what’s new in the world of On Demand indie film? First up is director David Wain’s supremely silly comedy, “They Came Together,” starring Amy Poehler and Paul Rudd. In 2001’s “Wet Hot American Summer,” Wain and his trusted stable of comedian friends sent up the 80’s teen

comedy, and created a modern comedy classic. Now Wain and company take aim at the romantic comedy, embracing all of the established clichés and giving the genre the nice, big wedgie it so richly deserves. Poehler and Rudd and Molly and Joel. She’s the quirky, klutzy proprietor of a mom-and-pop candy shop, so kind-hearted that she gives all of her candy away for free. He’s the straight-laced office drone working for a large candy corporation (Candy Systems and Research), but is a sweet, sensitive guy underneath. In a framing device that runs through the movie, Molly and Joel share the story of how they met to another couple (Ellie Kemper and Bill Hader) over dinner. It’s a familiar story. They were set up by friends and despised one another based on terrible first impressions, but soon learn they have more in common than they realized — for example, an ardent love of fiction books. Molly marvels, “I’ve literally never met anyone else who likes fiction!” Their story follows the corny formula established by decades worth of romantic comedies, but here, everything is cranked to 11 and the film is well aware of its ridiculousness — though arguably too aware. The film works in large part based on the charms of its stars. Are there two performers working currently that are more likeable than Amy Poehler and Paul Rudd? They work so well together, I’d love to see them paired in a straight-up romantic comedy. The rest of the cast is rounded out by seemingly every actor working in comedy today, including Ed Helms, Cobie Smulders, Christopher Meloni, Max Greenfield, Ken Marino, and Michael Ian Black to name a few. That most of the cast appeared in “Wet Hot,” and with Wain’s TV series, “The State,” contributes to the feeling we’re watching a bunch of friends goofing off together. If “They Came Together” doesn’t quite reach the delirious highs of that previous film, it’s because it too often settles for

simply re-enacting those familiar scenarios with a wink, but not saying anything particularly original about them. It’s always funny, but the film is at its best when it forges its own path, lets its hair down, and really gets weird. There’s an exclamation point added to the title of Swedish auteur Lukas Moodysson’s exuberant coming-of-age comedy, “We Are the Best!” and the signifier couldn’t be more deserved. Set in Stockholm in the early 80’s, the film follows best friends Bobo (Mira Barkhammar) and Klara (Mira Grosin), who’ve adopted the punk look despite the punk scene being all but dead, as their fellow classmates are eager to remind them. Feeling alienated, the girls decide to start a band mainly as a way to stick it to the bullying boys who happen to be using the community center rehearsal space. They write a song, “Hate the Sport,” about how much gym class sucks — and really, who can’t relate to that? Though neither girl has any experience playing instruments, it’s not like that’s stopped any other punk groups before them. But the band really takes shape when Klara and Bobo recruit Hedvig (Liv LeMoyne), a shy, Christian student who knows how to play a guitar, to join them. Based on a loosely autobiographical graphic novel written by Moodysson’s wife, Coco, “We Are the Best!” is aimlessly episodic. The film generally builds up to the girls’ first live performance, and there’s a subplot involving a rift in the group when they meet up with a boy punk band, but the quarrel is short-lived and always more about the friendship between the girls than their desire for the opposite sex. Plot is secondary to the flawless, natural performances from the three leads, all making their big screen debuts. Hilarious and true, they capture the fear and excitement that comes in every adolescent’s life, when they get their first taste of the sweet thrill of rebellion.

training with him and dancing with his company, I never really understood what it meant to be honestly expressive during performance and did not comprehend the notion of sensing movement from the inside out. I became open to new sensory experiences and realized my full potential as a moving body and artist with him. ” Evans has mixed feelings about leaving Rochester. He expressed sadness at leaving colleagues, friends, and what he sees as a burgeoning dance scene, but excitement at the new challenges and opportunities ahead. “I loved teaching at Brockport,” he said. “And I will miss the dance community here. I’ll miss the collaborations I participated in. “Brockport has graduated so many dancers who choose to stay in the community. Rochester has an abundance of dancers for a small city. Very few cities this size have such a vibrant dance community.” One thing that Evans said he believes is lacking here is an appropriate venue for small dance companies to perform. “Right now, there is no perfect venue,” he said. “Geva’s Nextstage is small. Hochstein lacks lighting. Nazareth’s theater is too big. We need a 150-seat theater with a big stage and good lighting. That would be a catalyst for continued dance growth.” In September, Evans will begin his new position as Artist in Residence/Professor of Dance in the Joan Palladino School of Dance at Dean College in Franklin, Massachusetts. By that time he will be Emeritus Visiting Professor of Dance/Guest Artist at The College at Brockport where he taught for 10 years. “One of the main differences between Dean and Brockport is that Brockport focuses mostly on modern dance,” Evans said. “Dean gives equal credence to ballet, tap, and modern. The goal is to teach well-rounded students which, I honestly think in today’s world, is necessary. Young dancers need to be prepared to go in many different directions.” Don Halquist is also leaving his position at Brockport where he served as Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Education and Human Development. On August 1, he will assume the position of Dean of the Feinstein School of Education and Human Development at Rhode Island College in Providence. The College at Brockport is honoring Evans by establishing a scholarship in his name. According to the college, The Bill Evans Award for Embodied Scholarship will recognize undergraduate and graduate students who explore the philosophical and pedagogical ideals which Evans values and promotes through his technique. The scholarship is meant to carry on Evan’s legacy by making it financially possible for a deserving student to continue with their dance studies.

K-D Moving & Storage Inc.

Charm and space around every corner 256 Seneca Parkway Downsizing soon, my eyes have recently become trained on houses. I peer out when passing for sale signs wondering “would our porch furniture fit there?” On the quiet corner of Seneca Parkway and Raines Park, you’ll see such a sign, and behind it a house worth more than a passing glance.

42 years of experience in office & household moving and deliveries

Big or small, we do them all

473-6610 or 473-4357

Pull into the large front drive and you’ll have one of those “porch furniture” moments. If this house didn’t also have a back patio great for grilling or an equally large back porch, you would be able to entertain a small mob of your friends comfortably out front. The style is simple and makes you want to sit with a glass of iced tea.

CALL 244-3329 X23 OR EMAIL CHRISTINE@ROCHESTER-CITYNEWS.COM PITTSFORD: 2 OLD KINGS LANE $229,900 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath colonial in the Chatham Woods neighborhood with many updates. Re/Max Realty Group - Ryan Smith @ 585-218-6802 or visit www.RochesterSells.com for more info.

The simplicity ends at the porch however. You’ll be taken aback by the incredible yet undoubtedly tasteful detailing throughout. Original fruit wood parquet flooring flows seamlessly into the molding and effortlessly into the stairs. All original to the home and never painted, the wood lends an attractive dark contrast to the surprising amount of natural light. Also surprising is the amount of space. The dining room has enough space to seat a family of ten, and can easily be closed off with the pocket folding doors. Across, sits the living room and combination sitting room with large windows and a fireplace to angle around. The kitchen is large, made visually larger by the eleven foot ceilings throughout the home, and connects to the back porch and patio, a half bath, and a secondary set of stairs.

Original tile detailing accents the stairs on your way up to the bedrooms. A landing with bright leaded glass windows and enough space for a sitting area meets you halfway. Do you like closets? There is more closet space in this home than I have shoes to fill. Two walk-ins, two standards and even a half closet or two are hard pressed to be filled throughout the four bedrooms. Not enough space? The attic is massive and includes water hook-ups should you feel the need for an additional bedroom and bathroom on the third floor. A modernized bathroom on the second floor sits well among the antique charm of the house, with the original clawfoot tub. Sandwiching the second floor are a front-facing porch and an enclosed balcony off the master. Original 1910 lighting fixtures throughout the home, central vacuum hook-ups, a three car garage, and a brand new boiler are a few among the many wonderful attributes. At 2,605 square feet, 256 Seneca Parkway is listed with Josephine Velazquez of Nothnagle Realtors for $169,900. For more information, contact Josephine at 585-350-5785. This house begs you to return, and isn’t that what you’re looking for? A place to come home to. by Colleen Thrasher Colleen is a Landmark Society volunteer.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD

Man of the People? Scott Fistler, twice a loser for electoral office in Phoenix, Arizona, as a Republican, decided in November 2013 that his luck might improve as a Democrat with a name change, and legally became “Cesar Chavez,” expecting to poll better in a heavily Hispanic, Democratic congressional district. (“Cesar Chavez” is of course the name of the legendary labor organizer.) Furthermore, according to a June report in the Arizona Capitol Times, “Chavez’s” campaign website features photographs of frenzied supporters holding “Chavez” signs, but which are obviously scenes from the streets of Venezuela at rallies for its late president Hugo Chavez. (At press time for News of the Weird, a judge had removed “Chavez” from the ballot, but only because some qualifying signatures were invalid. “Chavez” promised to appeal.)

Compelling Explanations — U.S. District Judge Richard Kopf of Omaha, Nebraska, trying to be helpful, he said, advised female lawyers appearing in his courtroom to lower their hemlines and cover their cleavage because males, including Judge Kopf himself, are “pigs.” Writing in his personal blog in March, he said, “I have been a dirty old man ever since I was a very young man” and that the women in his office are similarly contemptuous of daringly dressed female lawyers. The lifetime-tenured judge later said he regretted any harm to the judiciary that his remarks might have caused. — Almond Upton, 60, charged with murder for “intentionally” striking a New York state trooper in May with his

pickup truck, denied everything. He told reporters following his first court appearance that he is bewildered by the accusation: “I was (close to) the Connecticut border, and all of a sudden, I’m in Binghamton, New York (about 140 miles from Connecticut), and this cop got killed, I don’t know how it happened. It had to be a time warp.” — The National Security Agency admitted in a June court filing that it had disobeyed two judicial orders to stop deleting accusatory evidence in its databases (which judges had ordered preserved to help determine if the NSA was illegally violating privacy laws). The NSA’s reasoning for its chutzpah: Its data-gathering systems, it claims, are “too complex” to prevent the automatic deletions routinely programmed into its data, and it cannot reprogram to preserve the data without shutting down its entire intelligence-gathering mission. The challenging party (the Electronic Frontier Foundation) called the NSA’s explanation disingenuous and, in fact, further proof that the NSA is incapable of properly managing such massive data-gathering. — Michael Adrian, 26, was arrested in Lakeville, Minnesota, in June for frightening officials at Lakeville North High School by skateboarding in front of the school, in military dress, face covered by a bandana, with an arrow strapped to his arm, and concealing knives, a box-cutter, a slingshot, and pepper spray. Adrian told police he was merely “testing” the school’s security system by “looking like an a**hole.” (A judge ordered a mental evaluation.)

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 32 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Handle relationships with care. You are likely to discourage someone you want to get close to if you are pushy or too demanding. Observe and listen to what your partner wants and needs. An attentive and affectionate approach will go further than anything you can say. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Show confidence presenting who you are and what you want, and you will attract someone who can appreciate your strong, determined attitude. Someone from your past will take a new interest in the braver and more domineering personality you project. Attend a reunion.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your love of life will come across as charming and endearing to someone you meet while flitting about town. You will be inclined to have many changes of heart this week, so don’t lead anyone to believe you are interested in making a commitment when you are still fishing. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Keep your facts and figures straight when you meet someone new. Giving a false impression or letting your emotions take over will lead to an exaggerated overview regarding who you are and what you have to offer. Practice honesty when it comes to affairs of the heart.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You will attract unusual partners. Do your research and find out more about the background of anyone who interests you. The person grabbing your attention is likely to withhold information that will influence whether you should pursue or back away. Impatience will end up being costly. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t let uncertainty lead to an emotional mistake. If something doesn’t feel right, take a pass. Someone is likely to offer you a false impression. Stick to the people you know, and gather personal information regarding anyone of interest before you make a romantic move.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Get out and about making new friends along the way, and you will attract plenty of attention. Don’t feel the need to accommodate someone you work with who is looking for more than what you are prepared to give. Keep work and play separate to avoid complications. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ll have all the right moves when it comes to love and romance. Your powerful personality will give you the edge over anyone trying to compete with you for the same person’s affection. A unique and innovative approach will win the heart of that special someone.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t underestimate someone who catches your interest. Exaggeration will be quickly questioned, leaving you in a vulnerable position that will be difficult to turn around. Deception can go both ways. If someone appears too good to be true, do a background check. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The person who attracts you on one level will repel you on another. Slow down and let the chips fall where they may before you make any sort of offering that you may want to rescind. Steer clear of anyone who appears to be unpredictable.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Take some me time and make personal changes that will improve your health, diet and personal regime; while doing so, you will meet someone who is trying to follow a similar path. This person will have plenty to offer mentally, physically and emotionally. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You won’t have any trouble attracting attention, but proceed with caution. Someone is likely to play emotional mind games with you, creating uncertainty and confusion due to dishonesty regarding what’s being offered. Don’t get physical too soon. Time is on your side.
