A society that can’t agree on the meaning and purpose of its bedrock institutions may have reached a point of no return. Your editorial (Urban Journal, June 30) attempts to “otherize� the “people of the Heartland,� but the “Heartland� is everywhere. We’re the people next door and in the checkout line. We’re not about to roll over and give up the freedom of conscience upon which this country is founded.

Elections aren’t going to resolve what is fundamentally an irreconcilable divide. The suggestion of looking to politicos and the media for leadership frankly sounds like a punchline, given most people’s low regard for both.

Reconciliation certainly isn’t going to come from the likes of Barack Obama, who never passes up a chance to insult and impugn anyone who takes exception to his obnoxious ideology. And just when Americans seemed to have reached a consensus that public buildings are no place to display divisive symbols, what does Obama do? He emblazons a rainbow flag on the White House.

Meanwhile, if by “Heartland� your writer means everyone who recognizes the natural and unchangeable definition of marriage, then you’re talking about the overwhelming preponderance of the earth’s seven billion inhabitants — across societies, faiths, traditions, creeds, languages, cultures, races, colors, nationalities, and political and legal systems. Try explaining to them that America has magic judges who can rewrite the facts of life.

Stop RedFlex and red-light cameras

As most drivers in the City of Rochester have probably discovered the hard way, Rochester has a local law allowing for automated traffic ticketing at 32 intersections, mostly downtown and in certain targeted city neighborhoods. Rochester City Council hired RedFlex, a foreign corporation with US headquarters in Arizona, to operate the system in 2010 and recently renewed the RedFlex contract for five more years.

The city expects to collect approximately $4 million, according to the mayor’s most recent budget, from this program. Neither Monroe County nor the State of New York operates red-light cameras locally, despite much heavier traffic volume and higher speed limits.

Rochester City Council member Adam McFadden is now calling for an investigation, since the former CEO of RedFlex pleaded guilty to bribing City Council members in Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio; entered a notice to plead guilty in Chicago; and is being investigated for similar bribery in at least 12 more states.

The camera system in Rochester automatically issues $50 tickets to the registered owner of the vehicle — not the actual driver, like a regular traffic ticket.

The Rochester law is wildly unpopular with drivers of every description.

The “gotcha� aspect of the local law is the reason I brought a lawsuit in 2013 challenging the legality of this robo-ticketing on constitutional grounds. The NYS Supreme Court determined that the Rochester law met “minimal due process� requirements and let the city law stand.

Since that ruling, the city has ramped-up the program, adding more cameras, sending unpaid tickets to collection agencies, aggressively booting cars, and reporting information to the NYS DMV, which will prevent drivers from renewing their licenses and vehicle registrations.

The mayor and City Council have defended RedFlex and are now digging their heels in to stick with the contractor.

I believe that the City of Rochester is foolishly shooting itself in the foot for tourism, economic development, and people wanting to live, work, shop, or play in the city with these red-light “gotcha� tickets.

Not to mention this city program mostly results in people having disrespect for the law and City Hall.

Time for City Hall to boot RedFlex and not its own citizens.

Some Jazz Fest advice

1. Yes, to a third show and matinees.

DO NOT TICKET KILBOURN. A three-hour line is a terrible thing!

(I do enjoy reading peacefully in line, however).

2. Get Abilene back.

3. Children ... YES! Indoctrinate the young that JAZZ is the future.

4. The one thing I miss was when we had African dance on Gibbs Street while waiting in line for Kilbourn.

How about those buskers, conga lines, New Orleans-style FUNeral marches? Light up the streets with jugglers, unicycles, anything.

5. Get more African /blues, Son House Delta ... the story of the ROOTS of jazz.

6. Definitely BAN KHAKI! Hey, retired people: dye your hair green, dress like a movie star, get hip to the scene. Rock it, BABY! This SMUGTOWN stuff’s gotta stop. It’s hip to be hip!

Thank you so much John and Mark. You guys ROCK! DENNIS TOMBSTONE

Think through murals

WALL\THERAPY 2015 kicked off with the installation of a large mural, “Bollywood Sugar,� on The Playhouse/Swillburger building on South Clinton.

I live in the neighborhood and I LOVE this mural. But I felt a little sad for all the Christians, especially the African-American Christians, who had worshiped in that lovely old church for more than a century.

To have a 20-foot-tall Hindu goddess and $100 bill plastered on their church has to be a grievous reminder of their displacement by modern economics. I think a little more awareness about the context and history of the locations of these murals would not be amiss in the future because WALL\THERAPY is such a marvelous cultural endeavor for our city.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Neighborhood schools, poverty, and the future Should the Rochester school district go back to having neighborhood schools? Would that keep more middle-income families in this highpoverty district?

This is not a small issue. Increasing the number of middle-income students could help integrate at least some of the city’s schools. And numerous studies show that poor children do far better if they attend schools where most students are not poor.

Right now, Rochester has a “school choice” system for children in kindergarten through sixth grade. The district operates several schools that are “citywide draws,” specialty schools like World of Inquiry to which families from throughout the city can apply for admission. The rest are grouped into three zones, and if families don’t choose or aren’t accepted into a citywide-draw school, they can choose from any of the nine or ten schools within their neighborhood zone.

If families live within half a mile of the nearest school – their “neighborhood school” – their children are guaranteed admission to it. But the choice system lets them choose other schools if they want to.

And many of them do.

In theory, the system lets parents assess the quality and the programs at several schools and pick the one they think will offer their children the best education.

But the system isn’t cheap, because if children go to a school more than 1.5 miles from home, state law says the district has to provide transportation. If they live within 1.5 miles of a school, they have to walk or their parents have to get them there another way.

Transporting students (including those in high school) costs the Rochester school district about $65 million a year, and that’s going up next year, thanks to new routes planned for high school students.

Going back to neighborhood schools and reducing the number of students who ride buses, then, would save money – though it’s mostly the state’s money. The state reimburses districts up to 90 percent of their transportation costs. And that money can’t be used for anything else.

Neighborhood schools also help build a sense of community. It’s easier for a school to be a real part of the community if most of its families live nearby.

There are plenty of negatives about returning to a neighborhood school system, though. A big one: The numbers simply don’t work, because the population in Rochester has changed since most of the schools were built.

Studies show that high-poverty schools hurt children. But our options for lowering Rochester’s concentration of poverty are limited."

For example, when my children were school age, our middle-income neighborhood was full of families with young children – 11 on our block alone, including our three. Now there is one, an infant.

The neighborhood has become popular with young, single adults. A fair number of families with infants and toddlers still live there, but the pattern is that they move – often out of the city – as those children approach school age. Our neighborhood school still serves some neighborhood children, but many of its children are bused there from other parts of the city.

My neighborhood isn’t the only one with that experience. If we returned to a neighborhood school system, schools in several areas wouldn’t have enough students to justify their existence. They would have to close, and the children in that neighborhood would have to go – by bus – to a school in another neighborhood.

In other neighborhoods, the number of children has increased. If all children returned to their neighborhood elementary school, some schools – as they are built now – would have far too many students.

Another problem: Many parents don’t want their children to go to the neighborhood school. Some think other schools offer better quality. But school district officials say that doesn’t seem to be the principal reason. It’s safety and convenience.

Some parents are worried about neighborhood violence and want their continues on page 10 rochestercitynewspaper.com

[ NEWS FROM THE WEEK PAST ]

Fracking by any other name

A group of farm owners and Tioga Energy LLC announced plans to file an application with the state to extract natural gas from beneath 53 acres in the Town of Barton in Tioga County.

They plan to frack the gas out of the ground, but not using the traditional mix of water, chemicals, and sand.

Instead, the plan is to use liquefied propane to force the gas out of the shale, which the group says isn’t covered by the state’s fracking ban, according to the Elmira Star-Gazette.

Special prosecutor named

Governor Andrew Cuomo signed an executive order that, for the next year, makes Attorney General Eric Schneiderman a special prosecutor when unarmed civilians are killed by on-duty law enforcement officers.

That means that decisions on prosecuting the cases will be made by the attorney general, and not locally elected district attorneys.

Cadillac apartments?

The City of Rochester

is asking the state to help fund a project to convert the Cadillac Hotel downtown into 56 market-rate apartments. The cost of the project is about $7.9 million, according to city paperwork. The developer has not yet been named.

News

PAC confusion

As of this writing, it was still unclear whether City Council would approve funding to study a new downtown theater. Council has many concerns about the plan, including the study’s cost. Mayor Lovely Warren said that the county would chip in, but County Executive Maggie Brooks later said she never promised that.

Busing crisis resolved

Rochester school board members voted 6-1 to approve a new contract with RTS to bus city school students this coming school year. But many board members are unhappy with the deal because the district will pay more for busing, but fewer students will be bused. The district also has to find a second firm, and come up with even more money, to bus the students that RTS will not.

The four district seats are up on City Council this year, as are four city school board seats. In Monroe County, voters will choose a district attorney, county executive, and representatives for all 29 seats in the County Legislature.

Democratic primaries appear to be imminent for all of the seats on Council and the school board, and in four of the city-based Legislature seats.

(The period to challenge petitions has not yet passed.)

Two Democratic races, in particular, have received a lot of early attention. In the 23rd Legislative District, city Building and Parks Director Mitch Rowe is running against former Rochester Police Chief James Sheppard, the party’s endorsed candidate. And in the Northwest District City Council race, endorsed candidate Molly Clifford faces a challenge from Lashana Boose.

Some committee leaders say that Rowe and Boose would be

friendlier to the city administration than their opponents.

Some of the other primaries reflect longstanding power struggles within the party.

In the school board races, Democrats backed incumbents Malik Evans and Mary Adams, along with newcomers Elizabeth Hallmark and Matt McDermott. Willa Powell, Howard Eagle, Lorenzo Williams, and Mia Hodgins have filed petitions to force a primary. Powell currently serves on the board, but the city committees did not endorse her.

The top four vote-getters in the school board primary will carry the Democratic line on the November ballot.

On the Republican side, William Wu is trying to force a primary against embattled Henrietta Supervisor Jack Moore, who has been under fire for making racially insensitive remarks. Wu ran for town supervisor in 2009 as a Democrat.

Rochester Fringe Festival announces 2015 lineup The First Niagara Rochester Fringe Festival has announced the lineup of its 2015 event, which will include more than 500 performances, four new venues, and a larger Spiegeltent. The festival, which will be in its fourth year, will take place Thursday, September 17, through Saturday, September 26, in and around downtown Rochester.

This year’s Friday on the Fringe — the festival’s stand-out, free headliner show — will take place September 18 in Martin Luther King Jr. Park and will feature Grounded Aerial, a New York City-based aerialist troupe that will perform on the side of the 21-story HSBC Plaza as well as on the park’s “Tribute to Man” metal framework.

British actor and impressionist Luke Kempner will perform “Upside Downton” as the Fringe’s comedy headliner this year. In the award-winning show, Kempner recreates more than 30 characters in a parody of the TV series “Downton Abbey.” Performances will take place Friday, September 25, and Saturday, September 26, in the Eastman School of Music’s Kilbourn Hall.

Also in Kilbourn Hall: a Gospel Sunday performance on Sunday, September 20. The event, hosted by Rickey Harvey of the Mt. Oliver Baptist Church, starts at 1:30 p.m. and will feature college gospel choirs.

Fringe organizers also announced the return of the Spiegeltent to the corner of East Main and Gibbs Streets, this year as a

new, larger venue. The Aurora tent, from The Netherlands, will make its US debut, replacing the Magic Crystal tent of the past two festivals. Two world-premiere shows will run inside the tent during the course of the festival: “Cabinet of Wonders,” which will include comedy, contortion, aerial, and a one-legged tap dancer; and “Princess Wendy’s Late Nite Tease Room,” a comedy and burlesque show for adults about a downand-out birthday princess. Comedian Jamie Lissow — who opened for Patton Oswalt and Jay Pharoah at previous festivals — will perform in the Spiegeltent on Saturday, September 19, at 9:30 p.m.

And the surreal Silent Disco (which has sold out in 2013 and 2014) will return at 11 p.m. on both Fridays. The lunchtime version, Brown Bag Disco, will take place at noon on Friday, September 25.

Returning to the Spiegelgarden, which flanks the Spiegeltent: the Pedestrian Drive-In — free, outdoor movie screenings using Silent Disco headphones — and the ticketed site-specific shows “Dashboard

Dramas” (taking place in four parked cars) and “Bushwacked” (inside a camping tent).

A new site-specific show, “Hot Tub: The Musical,” will make its debut.

Incorporating the cityscape into the show, Rimini Protokoll’s “Remote Rochester” will take a crowd of people wearing radio headphones along a carefully planned urban route. This will be the second US-based “Remote X” show from Rimini Protokoll, a Berlin-based, site-specific theater company.

A voice in the headphones will direct the movements of the crowd while music plays, turning the journey into a sort of personal film, organizers said.

Free entertainment — bands and street entertainers, show highlights, and chalk art — and food and drink vendors will be on Gibbs Street both weekends.

All of the above events were selected by the Fringe itself, but the majority of the festival’s more than 500 performances (up from 380 in 2014) are organized by the venues themselves.

Artists submitted their performance proposals to the venues earlier this year, and those venues curated their own lineups.

This year the festival has added four new venues: The Strong National Museum of Play; Abilene Bar and Lounge (153 Liberty Pole Way); the new Lyric Theatre (440 East Avenue), with two performance spaces; and

Contortionist Sasha Pivaral will perform as part of the show "Cabinet of Wonders."

RECREATION | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

Skatepark advocate losing hope

The City of Rochester has many features conducive to skating, skaters say, although the city restricts the activity. PHOTO BY CASEY HALEY

The drive to get a skatepark built in Rochester is probably at its lowest point in the eight years since the push began, organizers say.

The high point was in 2011 when the City of Rochester included the park in its capital improvement plan — that, organizers say, showed commitment to the project. But now, they say, they’re not sure what’s going to happen.

The park was initially supposed to go underneath the east side of the Frederick Douglass-Susan B. Anthony Bridge. But that would’ve required state approval, which might be years in coming, if ever.

The location switched to Genesee Crossroads-Charles Carroll Park located on the west side of the river between Andrews and East Main streets, and supporters believed that the project was essentially a sure thing, says James Maddison, president of Friends of the Roc City Skatepark.

But now they’re being told, he says, that a skatepark is just one of the possibilities for the park. The suitability of the location is being studied, Maddison says, and the group should have an answer by August.

“We lost a couple of years,” he says.

“We could’ve been making progress on the site under the bridge. The only thing we’re going to have at the end of the summer is a yes or a no.”

If the answer is no, Maddison says that he’ll go back to the group’s board and together they’ll determine a course of action, which could include abandoning the project or re-focusing on the site underneath the bridge.

Maddison’s frustration prompted him to release an 18-page screed in June, accusing city officials of misleading him and other 6 CITY

JULY 15-21, 2015

members of his group. He says he feels as if the group is back to square one — trying to convince city officials that a skatepark is a good idea.

“It’s a big thing, and we really believe in the cause,” Maddison says. “Right now, it’s feeling a little bit like trying to fight with a bag over your head and one hand tied behind your back. I don’t understand why the city’s treating us like this. We’re just a group of volunteers trying to do a good thing.”

But city engineer James McIntosh says that the city never promised the group a skatepark. The key component, he says, is to make sure that the community and surrounding businesses and organizations are on board with the project. But there’s confusion over whose responsibility it is to rally that support. McIntosh says that he told the Friends that they had to reach out, but Maddison says that it’s the city’s job, although the Friends would consider helping if asked.

Maddison says the group also needs to know what the city would consider sufficient demand for the project.

The concept is to build what organizers say

would be a world-class skatepark to serve as a destination for skaters and an economicdevelopment engine for Rochester.

Skateboarding is not illegal in the City of Rochester, but it is restricted.

The study for the original site under the bridge put the cost of the park at more than $4 million.

The Friends group projected it could raise about $500,000 toward the park, but instead managed to raise about $65,000 over the past eight years. Much of the money went to pay for a firm to create designs for the site under the bridge.

Without a location or even certainty that the park will be built, Maddison’s report says, it’s difficult to solicit large donors. And it’s frustrating for the people who have donated over the past eight years, Maddison says, because they don’t see a payoff.

“To have it be eight years that we’ve been trying to get the park, that’s a long time,” says skater Casey Haley, who also photographs skateboarding as a hobby. “Yes or no. Are they going to do it or are they not? Until we know, I don’t think really think it’s fair to be taking people’s money anymore.”

The city is trying to rejuvenate Genesee Crossroads-Charles Carroll Park, says McIntosh, the city engineer. And the city will hold meetings over the summer so people have an opportunity to share what they’d like to see done there.

“If the community and stakeholders believe that a skatepark is a good option, we’ll do our best to incorporate it,” McIntosh says.

That’s not good enough for Maddison, who says that the group is turning its frustration into action. Any money raised from now on will no longer go to the park directly, he says, but to a series of strategic “peace and passive” protests designed to get the city’s attention.

One such activity: building mini skateparks around the city. They had one started under the Ford Street Bridge, Maddison says, but the city tore it down.

They built something at Village Gate in the Neighborhood of the Arts, too, skater Casey Haley says, which the city took down.

The idea is to keep putting up these skateparks, Maddison says, until the city gets tired of tearing them down and builds a “real” facility.

The strategy has worked in other cities, he says, such as Porland, Oregon. Burnside Skatepark was built by the skating community without permission and eventually won the city’s approval.

“So our plan is we’re just going to keep building our own skateparks,” Maddison says. “We feel like we’re sort of back at square one, trying to convince people that this is something that really needs to happen.

Mentally, we’re well beyond that.” rochestercitynewspaper.com

UNSAFE AT ANY SPEED? TRANSPORTATION | BY JEREMY MOULE PHOTOS | BY MARK CHAMBERLIN

A

A fiery derailment of a CSX oil train in Mount Carbon, West Virginia, in February showed the destructive potential of these trains. Twentyseven of the train’s 109 oil cars went off the tracks — some catching fire or exploding. A nearby home was destroyed in the fire, which continued to burn for five days.

The cause of the accident is still under investigation.

The derailment occurred right next to the Kanawha River, and environmental crews had to work quickly to keep hundreds of thousands of gallons of crude from seeping into the water. A downstream drinking-water treatment plant was also shut down as a precaution.

“This accident is another reminder of the need to improve the safety of transporting Sam DeRosa, Monroe County fire coordinator. hazardous materials by rail,” said Christopher Hart, acting chair of the National Transportation scenario for local fire, police, and ambulance Safety Board, in a news release. agencies, as well as other local, county, and state Mount Carbon was one of five fiery oil train departments and agencies, DeRosa says. derailments in the US and Canada between

Though the high-profile incident; derailments and large spills have accidents have not claimed any lives, they do occurred in only a fraction of the shipments. But have a lot of people — from environmental and the cars that carry the oil are known to puncture community activists to emergency responders or rupture easily, and a single derailment can —concerned about what might happen if an oil be very destructive.

“Why are we continuing to go down a road fire, the result would be an all-hands-on-deck 8 CITY

that leads us to the opposite of where we need to be?” she says.

Until July 5, 2013, oil trains weren’t even a

blip on the public’s radar. But that day, a train loaded with crude oil derailed and exploded in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec, killing 47 people and destroying much of the community’s downtown.

Not long after, activists, concerned citizens, journalists, and politicians started asking whether trains haul crude through their communities, too. And in Upstate New York’s largest metros, the answer is yes.

In early 2014, a Rochester Fire Department spokesperson said that, in terms of hazardous substances, crude oil has become second only to ethanol in the quantity coming through Rochester by rail. A few years earlier, it wasn’t even on the list.

Nationwide, a few million barrels of oil were shipped by rail annually prior to 2010, when the number jumped to 20 million barrels.

The numbers have skyrocketed since. Last year, trains hauled 371.2 million barrels of oil

across the country, according to the US Energy Information Administration.

Much of the growth has to do with fracking in the Bakken Shale in North Dakota and Montana. Previously untapped by energy companies, the shale lacks the pipelines and refineries that some of the more established oil- and gas-producing regions of the country possess. And so trains emerged as a simple, efficient, and cost-effective way to move the products to coastal refineries.

Monroe County is on a major CSX rail route for oil trains heading to the Port of Albany, where the crude is offloaded onto Hudson River barges bound for East Coast refineries. (The City of Albany and County of Albany have little control over rail traffic, which is governed under federal and state law. The port is run by a state-created authority.)

The Albany-bound train traffic passes through local neighborhoods, near schools, and through heavily populated areas in Gates, the City of Rochester, and East Rochester. The trains also run right through downtown Fairport.

The processions of tanker cars grabbed the attention of citizens and politicians, but awareness really took off when the volatility of the Bakken crude came to light. It has higher gas content than other crudes, which is why the cars carrying it ignite so easily if they overturn or are damaged.

Members of Mothers Out Front marched in

Fairport’s Independence Day parade, some carrying signs celebrating wind and solar power, and others carrying signs condemning what opponents have started calling “bomb trains.”

The group began to coalesce last year when a group of local mothers, including HughesSmith, organized oil-train protests in downtown Fairport. Over the past year, public awareness of oil trains has grown, and opponents have

become more visible and vocal. Mothers Out Front has made oil trains one of its priority issues.

The growth of the anti-oil train movement mirrors the growth of the influential anti-fracking movement.

People are discussing the issue with friends, neighbors, and acquaintances, and as more people take an interest, they’re able to form grassroots networks that can pressure lawmakers, says Nedra Harvey, co-founder of the local antifracking group R-CAUSE. “If we have politicians who aren’t doing their duty and we don’t speak to them about it, then we really are partially at fault,” Harvey says.

In Albany, activists pressed government officials into delaying a project that could bring tar sands oil to the Port of Albany via rail. Global Partners wants to build a boiler facility that would heat up the sludgy tar sands crude, making it easier to transfer onto barges. The DEC initially said that it wouldn’t require an in-depth environmental review of the project, but reversed its decision in May. People of Albany United for Safe Energy spoke out against the project, which members say would bring additional oiltrain traffic to the port. The group opposes oil trains because of their safety risks and their contribution to climate change.

But the group also pushed back on the port proposal on environmental justice grounds. The trains that queue up outside of the port park next to a low-income housing complex, and the idling cars emit irritants and carcinogens known as volatile organic compounds.

“There was no public input on these trains, and I think that’s criminal,” says Sandra Steubing, one of the group’s founders.

State and federal officials appear to have heard some of the

public’s concern about oil trains, and have advanced dozens of policies and recommendations aimed at making the transportation of crude by rail safer.

At the state level, Governor Andrew Cuomo ordered periodic inspections of railways and oil trains, which have caught damaged tracks and malfunctioning rail car brakes.

This spring, lawmakers increased the cap on New York’s oil spill cleanup fund to $40 million, though environmental groups say the amount should be much higher. And the state is investing in additional firefighting equipment and foam to deploy in the event of a train derailment or fire.

2013 Sue Hughes-Smith, a member of the climate action group Mothers Out Front and coordinator of its fledgling oil trains team.

The US Department of Transportation has proposed new design standards for oil and ethanol tanker cars. The DOT-111 design currently used is decades old, and the National Transportation Safety Board first recommended replacing it in 1991.

Under the proposal, rail cars would have to meet the new design standards by later this year, but existing cars would be able to stay on the rails through 2023 as long as they’re retrofitted.

The USDOT has also proposed a 40 mph speed limit for some urban areas — Rochester, Syracuse, and Albany are not included — and new requirements for braking systems.

US Senator Chuck Schumer, who has repeatedly called for stronger oil-train regulations, immediately said that the standards are inadequate. He’s introduced legislation that includes provisions to phase out DOT-111 cars within two years and extends the lower speed limit to more areas.

Schumer’s legislation directs the USDOT to set a federal standard on volatility, which means that energy companies would have to remove some of the gas content before loading the oil onto trains.

Still, many opponents say that the regulations aren’t enough and that crude can’t be transported by rail safely. The rail system needs significant investment, they say, and the trains are travelling over deteriorating bridges. And neither continues on page 10

the state nor federal governments can devote adequate staff to inspecting the trains and railways, they say.

Besides, government officials and energy companies should be looking beyond fossil fuels to renewable energy, oil-train opponents say.

“The stuff doesn’t actually have to come out of the ground, and it doesn’t have to move through our communities in containers that are designed for high-fructose corn syrup,” says Hughes-Smith of Mothers Out Front.

Emergency responders don’t have a say in

what rides the rails, but must prepare to handle any disaster that comes along.

County, local, and state emergency agencies worked together to develop plans for all kinds of incidents, from bomb threats to Ebola. They’ve also laid out how they’d respond to incidents involving large amounts of toxic or highly flammable materials, such as the chlorine and ethanol that routinely pass through Monroe County.

As oil trains have emerged as a new hazard, county, local, and state emergency officials developed plans for responding to spills, fires, and derailments. They’re continuing those planning efforts and will have training exercises later this year, says county fire coordinator DeRosa. CSX is working hand in hand with officials, he says.

“We do this routinely,” DeRosa says. “This is just a brand-new topic.”

If a Monroe County community ever does experience an oil-train fire, the response will be massive and involve fire departments, emergency medical services, law enforcement, and local highway department workers.

The response would require lots of resources and equipment. Experts say that putting out a fire involving one tanker car full of oil would take 600 gallons of firesuppression foam and 40,000 gallons of water to mix it with, DeRosa says. For perspective, a fire hydrant flows at 500 gallons per minute, he says, and 600 gallons of foam would probably include the inventory of every fire department in the county.

“There’s no fire department in the county that’s going to be able to handle this alone,” DeRosa says.

Fire officials have been told that if more than three cars are involved, crews should let the blaze burn out, he says. Such an incident would likely involve an evacuation, he says, and would take a while: when an oil train derailed and caught fire in Galena, Illinois, the blaze took three days to extinguish.

Schools, poverty and the future continues from page 3

children to ride a bus to school rather than walk. Some young mothers are afraid to walk their children to school.

And walking obviously presents a different kind of problem during bad weather.

“If you have an elementary-school-age child and live less than 1.5 miles from your neighborhood school,” says district spokesperson Chip Partner, “your choices are to walk or drive your child every day or choose a school that’s farther away and have a yellow bus come right to your door every morning.”

“Whether the reason is safety or having multiple kids at home or not wanting to deal with snowy sidewalks in winter, the convenience of the bus is hard to beat,” Partner says.

Decades ago, Rochester tried integrating its schools by mixing children from high-poverty schools with those with more middle-income students. I supported that effort then, and I don’t think it was a mistake. At that time, though, plenty of middle-income families were sending their children to city schools. Now it’s impossible to integrate Rochester’s schools drawing solely on city school district children. Thanks to the movement of middle-income families to the suburbs, the district’s population as a whole is predominantly poor.

The school-integration program didn’t cause that. Things like housing policies, development practices, lending practices, and suburban sprawl did, and we can’t undo that damage overnight.

One way to attract middle-income families now, obviously, is to offer the kinds of programs those families could get in suburban or private schools. As part of Superintendent Bolgen Vargas’s effort to enrich students’ education, the district has been increasing the number of art and music teachers in city schools and partnering with outside agencies and museums for additional services.

But we’re a long way from having integrated schools. That is hurting children. And it is hurting efforts to revitalize the city itself. More on all of this – and on high schools – in the future.

And by the way: I’ll be interested in seeing whether the Anti-Poverty Initiative has ideas about how we might reduce the poverty concentration in Rochester’s schools. I don’t see any other way to improve education. And if we don’t improve education, we won’t eradicate poverty itself, which is the Initiative’s goal.

Coming back to Corn Hill [ CHOW HOUND ] BY KATIE LIBBY

Carrie Beagle lived in Corn Hill during her 20’s — and at the time she was frustrated that there weren’t more options for dining out or grabbing a drink in the area. She was excited when Corn Hill Landing was built, but had no idea that she would eventually be running her own business there. After a stint as the Director of Food and Beverage at RIT Inn and Conference Center, Beagle thought of moving elsewhere, but then decided that she wanted to reinvest in Rochester and pursued opening the West Edge Restaurant and Lounge (284 Exchange Boulevard).

Opening the space in Corn Hill Landing “felt like coming home,” Beagle says.

The décor is “polished casual” — the space used to be occupied by the Rochester Taproom and some elements have remained the same, like the 30 draft lines. “I didn’t want to lose the bar atmosphere,” Beagle says. The Rochester chapter of the American Outlaws still comes to watch soccer games like they did at the Taproom. The cocktail menu changes seasonally and Beagle wants to keep the menu classic; she’s currently looking for ways to incorporate peaches into the cocktail menu.

Executive Chef Jared Hamilton pulls from many different influences for the menu like

Japanese and German. The Ahi tuna ($24) is quick-cured and seared, served with kohlrabi salad, asparagus, patty pan squash, and a mango reduction. Spiced popcorn ($4) is available as an appetizer, flavored with honey and brown butter.

The inside-out French onion ($7) features grilled baguettes, sautéed onions, and broiled cheese over house-made broth.

Duck is featured heavily on the menu, with a duck and mushroom salad ($14), comprised of duck confit, mushrooms, pickled onions, mixed greens, and a mustard vinaigrette. There is also the seared duck breast ($26) with an orange reduction, Brussel sprouts, jalapeño cornbread, and broccoli.

Duck fat fries ($7) are also available as an appetizer, cooked in rendered duck fat and served with roasted garlic aioli.

“I want to offer great service and amazing food,” Beagle says. West Edge may soon feature a self-service wine dispensing system as well, something that will be unique to this area. A-lacarte brunch is served on Saturdays and Sundays.

West Edge Restaurant and Lounge is located at 284 Exchange Boulevard in Corn Hill Landing. It is open Monday through Thursday, 11:30 a.m. ‘til quiet; Friday, 11 a.m. to 1 a.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 1 a.m.; and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. 319-3388.

Nick Moss Band WEDNESDAY, JULY 15 DINOSAUR BBQ, 99 COURT STREET 9 P.M. | FREE | DINOSAURBARBQUE.COM NICKMOSS.COM [ BLUES ] Michael Ledbetter pumps out so much sticky soul in his voice, that it adds 20 years to his youthful look.

And all while Nick Moss’ tight blues grooves have made him a 16-time Blues Music Award nominee with the likes of Buddy Guy diggin’ his sound. The band is fresh, unique and funky. Earlier this year, it opened two shows for Gary Clark Jr. bumping their contemporary blues cred and getting a respectful nod from Clark himself. They’ve put out a dozen or so albums on Moss’ own Blue Bella label, and it all started with “First Offense,” back in 1998.

So, if you like blues, you should probably just go hear him. Regarded as keeping the blues style of T-Bone Walker alive, Robillard’s history has included playing with The Fabulous Thunderbirds (replacing Jimmie Vaughan) and blues guitarist stints for Tom Waits and Bob Dylan. And he’s been named Best Blues Guitarist four times by the Blues Music Awards. Active since the early 1960’s, Robillard has blues in the ole bones. — BY TYLER PEARCE

Auld Lang Syne’s new album, “Last of the Honey Bees,” opens up with aching beauty, like Gregorian chants along the mighty Mississippi, before switching to a Beach Boys-type strum and croon. For me, this band has always picked away at the fragile membrane between utter sadness and utter joy. Both emotions call for the same tears. Call them melancholy madrigals for moderns. This album is laconic and mellow in the extreme but wastes no time getting to the soul of the matter with lyrics ensconced in the eternal embrace of gravity as it slowly lets go. Not sure what I mean here, but it feels right. Hell, you don’t even know what Auld Lang Syne means anyway, do you?

Maria Schneider Orchestra “The Thompson Fields” artistShare mariaschneider.com

By now jazz fans have come to expect something extraordinary from every new release by the Maria Schneider Orchestra. Since she began crowd-funding her albums through artistShare, Schneider has released CDs uncompromising in musical vision and physical presentation. With superb music and a lavish book full of her musings, other’s poems, photography, and artwork, “The Thompson Fields” is her most ambitious project yet. The eight compositions are as evocative of the natural world as music can get. Often verging on the ecstatic, the album is akin to a jazz equivalent to Beethoven’s Sixth (the “Pastoral”) Symphony.

Because of her brilliance as a composer and arranger, Schneider attracts some the finest musicians to her orchestra. Not only are they up to the task of expressing her colorful voicings, they rise to the occasion on every solo. Especially strong are excursions by Lage Lund (guitar) and Frank Kimbrough (piano) on the gorgeous title track; Donny McCaslin, Scott Robinson, Steve Wilson, and Rich Perry (saxophones) on “Arbiters Of Evolution,” “Home,” and “Nimbus”; and Gary Versace (accordion) on “A Potter’s Song,” which is dedicated to the late trumpeter and long-time orchestra member, Laurie Frink. — BY RON NETSKY

Music City: Discuss your musical upbringing.

When did you first hear rock ‘n’ roll and what happened?

Jessica Lee Wilkes: Like most kids

growing up, I delved into my parents’ record collection. It was mostly classic rock, like the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, CCR, stuff like that. It was definitely a gateway into all of the music I got into as I got older.

My dad had a John Lee Hooker record that I got my hands on as a young teen.

I heard “Boogie Chillun” and it was all over. It was a game changer for me.

I started saving up my money to buy blues records. Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, stuff like that.

When and how did you meet J.D.?

Jessica Lee Wilkes will release her new EP, "Lone Wolf," during a performance at Abilene on Thursday, July 16. She will perform at Abilene again on Friday, July 17, with the Mickey James Trio. PHOTO PROVIDED

Rock ‘n’ roll in the atomic age — what with its social fallout — presented more of a threat than the bomb. With its savage heat, beat, and promise of promiscuity, rock ‘n’ roll threatened the very soul of 1950’s white picket fence, Granny-panty America. Libidos were honed and the color line got faded, blurred, and ignored by those mixing cultures into a banshee wail. Things would never be the same again. But the gentry got wise to itself, adopting rock ‘n’ roll’s surface affectations. Then Elvis got a haircut and joined the army, Chuck 14 CITY JULY 15-21, 2015

Berry went to jail, Buddy Holly went to heaven, the British invasion happened, and rock ‘n’ roll lost its cool, its menace.

Rock ‘n’ roll lost its balls.

Well … not entirely.

There have always been pockets of musicians that brandish rock ‘n’ roll’s rude attitude and moxy, especially now.

There are artists like Barrence Whitfield, JD McPherson, Legendary Shack Shakers, The Dirt Daubers, Los Straitjackets, Nikki Hill, and of course the fab femme fatale, Jessica Lee Wilkes, to remind us of when it was raw and righteous and a little bit dangerous. Before you go ga-ga over this long-stemmed beauty, be warned: Wilkes’s music will charm and disarm you, leaving you a candidate for orthopedic hats. She’s a killer diller; part wolf howl, part wolf whistle. And she’s part Rochesterian, having grown up in Fairport.

Mrs. Wilkes (ball and chain to Legendary Shack Shaker’s Col. J.D. Wilkes who she also plays with in The Dirt Daubers) checked in to discuss early rock ‘n’ roll, her new EP, and how to facilitate a sweaty mess. Look out… An edited transcript of that conversation follows.

We met at a Shack Shakers show in Chicago. A friend of mine worked for a local music magazine in town and she was doing an interview with J.D. She dragged me along to the show, and I met J.D. before he performed. When he and I were chatting, I was under the impression that he was the shy, nerdy, merch guy for the band. I was way off.

The rest is history, as they say.

The Dirt Daubers have changed dramatically. What do you attribute that to?

Well, we just decided to make a rock ‘n’ roll record. J.D. and I were both writing bluesy, rock tunes, and it made sense to go with the natural creative flow that was happening at the time.

You never know; we may go back and record another old-time record someday. I guess that’s our prerogative as fickle, artist-types.

What has influenced the sound on “Lone Wolf”?

I listen to all types of music, but it’s definitely heavier on the old-school rock ‘n’ roll, soul, blues, R&B, kind of thing. I think that comes through on this record.

What do you look for in a singer-performer?

Aside from the good melodies and clever lyrics, I want to see someone that pours it all out on stage in a genuine, visceral way. I feel like we, performers and spectators alike, have all become too self-aware and too-cool-for-school, and there’s this strange trend toward stoicism at live shows. It’s rock ‘n’ roll, for Christ’s sake. It’s supposed to be sweaty and messy, and it’s nearly impossible to achieve that if you’re just standing there, stifling your emotions,

and worrying about how the person next to you might judge you.

What do you give as singer-performer and what do you offer that bands or artists in this scene don’t?

Well, I don’t really know yet. It’s still so new. I hope to facilitate the sweaty mess that I mentioned in the previous question. I want people to have a good time and leave the show feeling like they got a break from their troubles, if only for a few hours.

How do you keep it fresh and at the same time so gloriously vintage?

I write what comes naturally. It’s pretty obvious what my musical influences are and, yes, it’s a lot of old-school 50’s rock ‘n’ roll, blues, and R&B. That being said, I still live in this time and place and my song writing can’t help but reflect that. I would never limit myself creatively for the sake of sounding “vintage.” I just happen to be drawn to that era of music and recording. There’s still so much that can be done within that style.

What does a great show equate to you as an artist?

My favorite shows are the ones where I lose myself onstage and everything syncs up: the band, the audience. It’s such a cathartic experience. That’s actually why I love playing at Abilene. It always seems to happen like magic there.

Immediate plans? Touring, recording?

I’m hitting the road pretty hard this year with this new project. I’m always writing and thinking about the next thing. I hope to have a full-length record out by this time next year.

What’s a dream collaboration or project you’d like to do?

I just want to keep working with likeminded and talented musicians. That’s harder to come by than one might think.

CLASSICAL | FINGER LAKES CHORAL FESTIVAL

Mozart only finished a few sections of his Mass in C Minor before abandoning it in 1783; nobody is sure why. But musicians agree that what’s left still deserves the work’s nickname, “Grand.” Even unfinished, the mass is still one of the grandest sacred choral works in the repertory: a synthesis of baroque contrapuntal artistry with Mozartian melody and emotion. Mozart’s “Grand” Mass is the focus of this summer’s Finger Lakes Choral Festival, to be performed this Sunday afternoon at Hochstein Performance Hall by the Festival Chorus, orchestra, and soloists Laura Heimes (pictured) and LaDonna Manternach, sopranos; Pablo Bustos, tenor; and Eric Trumpowsky, bass. All are led by music director Adrian Horn. Next month, members of the chorus will be flying off to Hawaii for a repeat performance with the Maui Chamber Orchestra and the Maui Masterworks Chorale on August 2.

FOLK | SAMANTHA CRAIN

Folk singers are a dime a dozen but Samantha Crain has a certain quality that makes her a cut above the rest. I wouldn’t call her a throwback, but I imagine she would have fallen in with the Topanga Canyon crowd. At least Crain’s tune “For the Miner” has a classic “Down by the River” vibe. The Oklahoma-based singer-songwriter cites Neil Young as an influence and her sound carries a western aura that’s both stark and lush at the same time — if that makes any sense. Either way, Crain’s literate music has recently perked the ears of Rolling Stone, NPR, and The New York Times. Crain is touring in support of brand new album, “Under Branch & Thorn & Tree.”

The cast of “Rent,” which will be on stage at Bristol Valley Theater this weekend. PHOTO BY BRYCE CUTLER

Not sold on Rent “Rent” REVIEWED SATURDAY, JULY 11 CONTINUES THROUGH SUNDAY, JULY 19 BRISTOL VALLEY THEATER, 151 SOUTH MAIN STREET, NAPLES WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, AND SUNDAY AT 2 P.M.; THURSDAY, FRIDAY, AND SATURDAY AT 8 P.M. $12-$33 | BVTNAPLES.ORG [ REVIEW ] BY LEAH STACY

The quaint town of Naples is a quiet community well known for skiing in the winter and the Grape Festival in the fall — but it’s perhaps less known for its summer stock organization, Bristol Valley Theater, which boasts a six-show theatrical season running from June through August.

The third show in this season’s lineup is the hit rock musical “Rent,” which depicts a group of young New Yorkers affected by HIV/AIDS in the late 1980’s. The story, with book, music, and lyrics by Jonathan Larson, is set in the bohemian Alphabet City in the East Village, and is reminiscent of Puccini’s “La bohème.” The musical — though it can be quite risqué in nature — was such a success on Broadway that it was adapted into a film version in 2005.

(The film furthered “Wicked” star Idina Menzel’s career and features Rochester native Taye Diggs.)

“Rent” is filled with earworm tunes, powerful moments and dream roles for 18 CITY JULY 15-21, 2015

aspiring thespians, which explains why it is still staged so frequently 10 years after becoming a movie. For theatregoers who can’t make it to a larger city to see hit shows like “Rent,” it’s refreshing when small, regional theaters are gutsy enough to stage big shows. The problem lies, however, in the theaters being realistic about the abilities of potential cast members.

Many of the cast and crewmembers listed in Bristol Valley Theater’s program work on more than one show, which is typical of summer stock seasons. It bonds the cast and crewmembers, but can also contribute to a less challenging performance atmosphere as people get comfortable with one another. It’s possible that was the problem in this production of “Rent,” though it seems more likely that the casting choices were not strategic.

“Rent” is a rock musical that deals with weighty social issues, and it demands powerhouse vocals and committed acting.

Many of the cast members I saw on Saturday were not fitted to their roles, which made the show overwhelmingly clunky and distracting. Several of the leading players in this production struggled to hit notes, harmonize, and keep up with the four-piece rock band hidden behind the set. The band, led by J. Elliot Yates, executed the show’s score admirably, but it quite often overpowered the weaker vocalists in the cast, even though everyone was wearing a mic. Numbers that should have been heart wrenching — “I Should

Tell You,” “Goodbye Love” — or sexy and entertaining — “Today 4 U,” “Out Tonight” — fell flat because the actors couldn’t move and sing with equal caliber.

Bristol Valley Theater is housed in the former Trinity Federated Church on Main Street in Naples and bills itself as “the only venue of its kind in a 50-mile radius.”

While the originality is appealing, it does present some difficulties such as a lack of air conditioning and outdated bathrooms (which also needed cleaning on Saturday — taking out the trash so it doesn’t overflow onto the floor doesn’t seem like too much to ask).

But the set of “Rent,” designed by Bryce Cutler, takes advantage of the former sanctuary, mimicking an industrial loft and alleyway draped with Christmas décor and lit with neon fluorescent lights. It’s inventive and fun, giving director and choreographer Suzi Takahashi and her cast plenty of opportunities for interesting scene work on the different levels of the stage.

Unfortunately, it felt like many of the opportunities were ignored. The creative set negated a need for the “immersive” scenes played out on the auditorium steps, as they were difficult for many audience members to see and hear. To top it off, the immersive staging scattered sound quality and marred the show’s iconic “Seasons of Love” number.

There were few redeeming parts, delivered largely by Liz Wasser (Maureen), who possesses the voice and the acting skills necessary for her role. When she entered midway through the show, her stage presence created a noticeable uptick in the energy of the cast. Lora Nicolas (Joanne) excelled in her duets with Wasser and David E. Shane (who played a likeable Mark). The ensemble had several shining moments as well — especially during the voice mail scenes. And Cutler edited together film footage that was projected onto the set and tied the story’s historical, documentary nature together nicely. With a few different casting decisions, Bristol Valley Theater could have sold this production of “Rent.”

A Street Street Light Festival will feature the installation NoirFlux, created by Lorne Covington. PHOTO PROVIDED

Let there be light A Street Light Festival FRIDAY, JULY 17, AND SATURDAY, JULY 18 VILLAGE GATE, 274 NORTH GOODMAN STREET 10 P.M. TO 1 A.M. | FREE | ROCTHEYOL.COM [ FEATURE ] BY DANIEL J. KUSHNER

Long before the Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival, Rochester Real Beer Week, or the Park Avenue Summer Art Fest, there was the inaugural Song and Light Festival held at Rochester’s Highland Park in 1915.

Created by local architect Claude Bragdon, the event’s innovative means of lighting through the use of lanterns and electric lamps changed the way the community experienced its environment.

One hundred years later, the significance of this event will come full circle on Friday, July 17, and Saturday, July 18, with ROC the YOL’s A Street Light Festival at the Village Gate. Festival Founder and Executive Producer Rachel DeGuzman — also president and CEO of the local arts consulting firm 21st Century Arts — conceived of ROC the YOL and its main event, “A Street Light Festival,” as a celebration of Rochester’s arts scene and the city’s commitment to photonics and optical technologies.

ROC the YOL would coincide with the International Year of Light 2015, a United Nations initiative to raise awareness of light science and its applications.

“We don’t have enough faith in our art and we don’t invest enough in our arts,” DeGuzman says. “And so the whole idea 20 CITY JULY 15-21, 2015

[of ] creating this cross-sector alignment between arts and sciences that the Year of Light presented was attractive to me.”

In teaming up with Artistic Director Margot Muto, DeGuzman found a partner who shared her desire to make Rochester an essential player in a worldwide discussion about light and related technologies. “I think the vision for the festival has to do with a much bigger picture,” Muto says.

“It isn’t just about our local artists and Rochester having another festival, but really having a festival that has the impact and is part of a global conversation.”

Muto sees WALL\THERAPY — with its initiative to display mural art on Rochester city buildings — as a prime example of a project that asserted itself as a prominent part of a global phenomenon.

And though A Street Light Festival has yet to introduce international artists alongside regional creators, as WALL\THERAPY has done, the plan is that the festival will become an annual event that expands to welcome international artists in the coming years.

After extending an open call for

submissions to the inaugural Street Light Festival, Muto and other members of the festival’s jury panel selected projects combining creativity and technological advancement from artists, engineers, scientists, and members of the “maker movement” spanning a variety of races, ethnicities, and ages. “What’s important to me in a community event: We really are walking the walk as far as diversity and inclusion,” DeGuzman says.

The exhibitors include FuturPointe Dance and Mariah Maloney Dance, an audiovisual collaboration between VJ Mike Celona and DJ Riley Beats; Marla Schweppe, Chair of 3D Digital Graphics at RIT; and Dan Schneiderman of the Rochester Mini Maker Faire, who will be helping festivalgoers create magnetized LED lights that will then be displayed on a large metal wall.

The festival will also feature the work of Syracuse-based exhibitor Lorne Covington, whose NoirFlux projects utilize computer software, electronic hardware, Kinectstyle cameras, and algorithms that enable participants to play with light and interact with their environment. Along with NoirFlux’s existing “Electric Heliotrope Theater” installation, Covington will present a new “soft sculpture” installation with interactive inflatables called “Lumia Centuria” to commemorate the centennial of Bragdon’s first “Song and Light Festival.

“Most art is about the object,” Covington says. “You’re making an object or some manifestation — there’s a thing there, and so people view it and get what they get from that thing. Really, what I’m working on is what’s happening in that moment. It’s not the thing, there is no object. Most of my stuff, if you don’t do anything, the screen’s black. You have to do something to create something.”

Covington designs his projects to respond to a person’s movement in ways that are unexpected and enchanting. “So it starts becoming this thing you sort of play with and explore to try to figure out its own internal logic,” Covington says.

And though Covington’s contribution to the festival will not be in collaboration with the dance performances on the bill, he is fond of using dance as an analogy when explaining his work. “If the piece is a really good dance partner, then I’ve succeeded,” he says. “And if your dance partner was just mirroring everything you do, it would be a really boring dance partner.”

Ultimately, it is clear that a primary goal of “A Street Light Festival” is engagement and inclusivity. “I’ve been working in this field for 14 years, and at most events they’re very segregated, either to age or community or race,” DeGuzman says. “But if you go to the fireworks, they draw people from all over, and I think that there’s something in our humanity that’s drawn to light. But I wanted to do something that was more contemporary and certainly incorporated a lot of the technology and a lot of the new media that is available to us today. So it’s kind of reimagining something that we’ve done for centuries for a new generation.”

THEATER | “SORDID LIVES”

As part of Pride Week, Black Sheep Theatre will present the first Rochester performance of Del Shores’ award-winning comedy “Sordid Lives.” Beginning with the death of Peggy, a good Christian lady who dies tripping over the wooden legs of her lover, “Sordid Lives” goes on to explore the secret lives of her family in the quiet town of Winters, Texas. Adapted into a 2000 film starring Olivia Newton-John, “Sordid Lives” instantly became a cult classic in the LGBTQ community, later adapted into a shortlived 2008 television series. This adaptation of “Sordid Lives” is directed by Charlie Cooper and Kristy Angevine-Funderburk.

“Sordid Lives” runs Thursday, July 16, through Saturday, July 18, and again Friday, July 24, through Sunday, July 26, at Black Sheep Theatre (274 North Goodman Street). Show times are 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday; 2 p.m. Sunday.

Tickets are $16 advance, $20 at the door. For more information, visit blacksheeptheatre.org. — BY GINO FANELLI

SPECIAL EVENT | CIVIL WAR REENACTMENTS

This year marks the final year of the Civil War sesquicentennial. Bearing that history in mind, the weekend of July 18 and July 19, The Genesee Country Village and Museum will host reenactments to commemorate the war’s conclusion 150 years ago. Each day there will be two staged battles. The first will be on an open battlefield at 11:30 a.m. featuring cavalry and live cannon fire. The second will be in the historic village at 2 p.m.

A Lincoln impersonator will visit the Union camps and survey the battle and inspect the activity on the meadow. Townsfolk in the village will perform concerts, specialty shopping, and vignettes depicting civilian life during the era.

Civil War Reenactments at Genesee Country Museum (1410 Flint Hill Road, Mumford) will take place Saturday, July 18, and Sunday, July 19, 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information visit gcv.org. — BY NOLAN H. PARKER

His last bow “Mr. Holmes”

(PG), DIRECTED BY BILL CONDON OPENS FRIDAY [ REVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO

For nearly as long as they’ve been making movies, they’ve been making movies about Sherlock Holmes. Initially appearing in print in 1887, Holmes first hit the screen in 1900, and since then Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous detective has been portrayed in more than 220 films. So why does a brilliant, rude, and occasionally drugaddled narcissist continue to resonate among those a century removed from his inception? As

with most antiheroes, Holmes’ positive qualities are overtly enviable, his bad behavior is secretly thrilling, and he always gets his man. (Except for that one time he was outsmarted, but it was by a woman, thank you very much.) By this point the Holmes character is in the public domain, which means that anyone is free to craft a Sherlock Holmes tale. And while many details must be held sacred, there’s still a little room to riff.

Based on Mitch Cullin’s 2005 novel “A Slight Trick of the Mind,” the lovely but frustrating “Mr. Holmes” imagines the great detective in 1947 as an elderly man, now retired to a farmhouse in Sussex. As played by the peerless Ian McKellen, Holmes spends his days condescending to his put-upon housekeeper, Mrs. Munro (Laura Linney), and trying in vain to ignore the increasingly obvious physical and mental signs of being 93 years old. Holmes has swapped out cocaine and opium for potential anti-aging remedies like royal jelly and prickly ash, the former of which also helps to occupy his time with beekeeping. It’s

through tending to the bees and demonstrating his legendary powers of deduction that Holmes befriends Mrs. Munro’s preteen son Roger (Milo Parker), assuring his annoyed mother that “Exceptional children are often the product of unremarkable parents.”

A quest for prickly ash has recently taken Holmes to still-smoldering Hiroshima, and besides the flashback scenes exploring the mysterious connection between Holmes and his Japanese host, Mr. Umezaki (Hiroyuki Sanada), the film’s overstuffed plot also incorporates a thread recounting Holmes’ final investigation, just after World War I. Holmes’ fading memory has forgotten the particulars of the case involving the melancholy, secretive Ann (a poignant Hattie Morahan), her concerned husband, and an elegantly eerie glass armonica, and much of “Mr. Holmes” centers around our hero trying to remember what happened with Ann and why it affected the notoriously detached detective so deeply. Meanwhile, Holmes and the widowed Mrs. Munro engage in a power struggle over Roger’s attention and respect, the fatherless boy clearly craving a male presence, and the brainy, manipulative coot not without agenda.

It shouldn’t come as any surprise that even under some occasionally distracting old-man latex, McKellen is superb as Holmes, paying proper homage to the icon’s entrenched quirks (i.e., selfishness, awful manners, etc.) while portraying the man as a flesh-and-blood mortal keenly aware

of that mortality. Holmes could never be lovable, and McKellen thankfully refrains from playing him that way in the scenes where Holmes befriends young Roger, the two meeting on a Holmesian intellectual level rather than the heart-tugging plane to which most movies would resort. (But we also learn that the late Dr. Watson, the one who memorialized Holmes’ exploits, is responsible for “a million misconceptions” about Holmes, so who knows what’s accurate?) Linney’s role initially seems dowdy and thankless, but as more of Mrs. Munro’s backstory is revealed, the levelheaded housekeeper becomes a fine foil for her cantankerous boss.

“Mr. Holmes” finds McKellen reteaming with his “Gods & Monsters” director Bill Condon, a pairing that brought both of them Oscar nominations (and a screenwriting win for Condon). But they’re a little less successful this time out, even though the film is technically wellcrafted, from the gorgeous period production design to the postcard-pretty cinematography to composer Carter Burwell’s wistful, distinctive score. There’s just too much going on, with dueling flashbacks as well as a couple present-day plotlines, and Condon, along with screenwriter Jeffrey Hatcher, is unable to convey why any of it truly matters, either to Holmes or, by extension, to us. Holmes excelled at his job because he is remote, aloof, and even though he may grapple with tinges of regret, he’s ultimately and entirely self-serving. That’s not much to hang your hat on, but we wouldn’t want him any other way.

From Jennifer Lopez’s twisted, eye-popping journey inside the mind of a serial killer in “The Cell,” to a lavish love letter to storytelling itself with “The Fall,” the films of Tarsem Singh have demonstrated his admirable commitment to crafting some beautifully bonkers eye candy. Even “Immortals,” Singh’s dip into sword-andsandal epics, managed to distinguish itself from the glut of “300” imitators with sheer visual panache. Whatever your opinions are about Tarsem Singh’s films (and they’ve all demonstrated varying degrees of narrative quality that can never quite live up to their sense of style), you can never say they’ve been dull … until now.

Tarsem’s films have always felt indulgent but in a way that has always seemed indicative of his personal aesthetic as a filmmaker; his movies look like no one else’s.

And that’s what makes the director’s bodyswapping sci-fi thriller “Self/less,” so deeply disappointing. With its blandly anonymous style (stupid title punctuation aside), it might have been directed by anyone.

Ben Kingsley plays Damian Hale, a real estate mogul with a billion dollar empire but no family life to speak of, save for an

estranged daughter (Michelle Dockery of “Downton Abbey”) whose love he periodically attempts to buy, with little success. The film’s first scene, in which the businessman invites a competitor to lunch just so he can demolish the young man’s career face-to-face, clues us in that he’s maybe not such a nice person. Damian also happens to be dying of cancer, and with little time left, he seeks the services of a mysterious organization run by a brilliant doctor named Albright (Matthew Goode, using his native British accent — movie shorthand that he’s not to be trusted). The good doctor offers a chance to undergo an experimental procedure known as “shedding,” which involves transplanting a person’s consciousness into a young, healthy synthetic body created in Albright’s labs. It’s a chance at immortality, all for the cool sum of $250 million. Done deal.

Hale (now played by Ryan Reynolds) has bought himself a brand new life, and aside from a bit of nausea and some disorientation (“death has some side effects,” Albright cautions), one can’t argue with the results. But once he’s taken his hot new body out for a test drive (cue montage of Damian bedding a parade of beautiful young ladies) he starts having visions of a woman (Natalie Martinez) and young girl (Jaynee-Lynne Kinchen) and a small farmhouse in the shadow of a water tower painted like a pumpkin.

Though Albright assures him these visions are merely hallucinations resulting from his mind adapting to its new location, Damian investigates further (leading to the priceless scene in which Reynolds literally Googles “pumpkin.” Great work, everyone), eventually discovering that his new body isn’t so synthetic after all, and was once a real man.

Naturally, Damian gets himself entangled in the life his body’s former owner left behind, taking actions which require him to be more … what’s the word?

When legendary Russian auteur Aleksej German died in 2013, he left behind this extraordinary final film, a phantasmagoric adaptation of the revered sci-fi novel by the Strugatsky brothers. Hard to Be a God began percolating in German’s consciousness in the mid-1960s, and would actively consume him for the last fifteen years of his life. “It makes Game of Thrones look like A Knight’s Tale, David Lynch’s Dune seem like Return of the Jedi.” – Indiewire (Trudno byt bogom, Aleksej German, Russia 2013, 170 min., DCP, Russian w/ subtitles) Part of the series Aleksej German.

else’s needs before their own? Don’t tell me, it’ll come to me, I’m sure of it.

“Self/less” has an intriguing premise (which admittedly owes a great deal to John Frankenheimer’s 1966 thriller, “Seconds”) and raises some interesting questions, but gets progressively more boneheaded as it goes along. Damian’s newfound compassionate side isn’t particularly believable considering what information the film provides about his nature. It’s a little dubious that a man as supposedly ruthless as Damian would be concerned about the little people caught in the fallout of his actions, and screenwriters Alex and David Pastor never develop Damian enough pre-surgery for his later actions to carry any weight.

Ben Kingsley elevates any movie in which he appears, so it’s to everyone’s detriment that he disappears from this one 20 minutes in. For his part, Reynolds is perfectly fine, acting appropriately mournful and conflicted, though he doesn’t attempt to even subtly adopt any of Kingsley’s mannerisms, which only makes for a greater disconnect between the man Damian was and the one he ultimately becomes. Goode has demonstrated in films like “The Lookout” and “Stoker” that his sweet face makes for a great cover for villainy, though for some reason here he mostly seems to be channeling Jeremy Irons.

Meanwhile, Victor Garber is dependably solid as Hale’s longtime business partner, and Derek Luke manages to make a decent impression as the wing-man Damian picks up in his new life.

Throughout, Tarsem offers some decent action sequences, including a wellchoreographed shootout in the second act and a mildly exciting car chase in the third. But for all the plot’s eventual twists and turns, the most surprising thing about the film is that a director as distinctive and singular as Tarsem could have managed to make something so forgettable.

But take an unexpected turn down a side street such as Vick Park A and you’ll experience a slightly smaller scale of the same grandeur.

Big or small, we do them all

Vick Park was created by seedsman James Vick, who purchased the Union Race Course in 1870 to develop into a residential street.

Evidence of the track can still be seen in the slight curve of Park Ave. Today, the Park Ave. neighborhood is a lively hub of cafés, pubs, and boutiques, all accessible by foot.

Ryan Smith

In 1875, Andrew Jackson Warner, of the Power’s Building fame, is thought to have designed the resplendent Second Empire home at 12 Vick Park A. Named for elements in vogue during the second French Empire, the Second Empire style is mostly easily identified by its characteristic mansard roof.

Up the masonry steps and through the original walnut door, the foyer leads into several rooms on the first floor, each more charming than the last. The front parlor features large streetfacing windows flanked by built-in bookcases.

Opposite sits a veined fireplace, enhanced with three tiles depicting “Idylls of the Kings”.

Leaded glass doors lead into the side parlor with original oak and walnut parquet floors. The dining room has even more intricate geometric parquet floors and an uncommon bead board paneled ceiling. South-facing bay windows

flood the space with light. A gem in the kitchen is the modern gas stove, designed to look straight out of the 1920s. Other modern details in the kitchen also give the feel of an older time with white, glass faced cabinets and a powder room in the rear.

Upon reaching the top of the stairs you’ll find yourself in a reading niche and hallway with a dormer window that adds to the bright airiness of the space. Tucked under the mansard roof, the tall ceilings and angled walls make the upstairs bedrooms open, yet cozy – perfect places to curl up with a good book.

The property boasts herb and rose gardens among other perennials. In the rear of the house, a flagstone patio and canvas awning act as the perfect space for get-togethers and relaxing outdoors. Not more than a mile outside of downtown Rochester, spending time in the backyard feels like a jaunt to the country, with noise at a minimum and lush plants surrounding your own private oasis.

Every inch of this 2,743 square foot house is delightful and waiting to welcome a new family. With five bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, there is ample space for children’s rooms or library, office, and guest bedrooms.

Currently listed at $299,900 through Nothnagle Realtors, contact Mark Siwiec at 585-461-6375.

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 30 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may be in the mood for love, but you will also find that you are easily agitated by what others do and say. Don’t let your temper interfere with your passionate and amorous feelings. Make love, not war, and you will bypass arguing and regret.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Short trips and involvement in events, trade shows or conferences that interest you will lead to some interesting conversations that can lead to a playful, flirtatious encounter, but before you jump in with two feet, check the marital status of the person sending you affectionate signals.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll have plenty of opportunity to meet potential partners through friends, relatives or even through work or business associations. Your heart will be hit by cupid’s arrow in the most unusual setting and when you least expect. Go with the flow, and see where it leads.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Steer clear of unpredictable people or aggressive pursuers trying to talk you into doing things you aren’t ready to do.

Speak up and make it clear you don’t want to move too quickly.

Get to know whoever interests you mentally before you let things get too physical.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll find it difficult to avoid an attraction with someone from your past or who has a workrelated connection to you.

Tread carefully on both counts, as both can and probably will lead to a vulnerable position that will leave you confused.

Secret affairs are best left as a fantasy.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Do what you can for others, and you will draw the attention and affection of someone looking for the same things as you in life. Deep conversations will lead to plans and an unusual commitment that will shape your future. Don’t hesitate to respond.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Take a step back and observe when it comes to an affair of the heart. Someone will offer what you want to hear, not what he or she has to offer. Don’t fall for anyone offering the impossible. All relationships take work; however, the effort has to be equal.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Opt to find your best friend first, and it will lead to a longlasting connection that you can trust and will honor for life.

It’s not just about chemistry; it’s about building a solid foundation from which you can grow a healthy and happy relationship.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You will be hard to catch but full of fun and adventure for the person who can match your pace. Look for the partner who thrives on change as much as you do, and you may find someone willing to ride on your roller coaster for keeps.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll be drawn to someone who offers security and wants to help build a stable environment that can last a lifetime. Consider someone you meet who shows dedication to help uphold beliefs and improve his or her environment, and you’ll have a mirror image of your life ambition.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll have plenty of opportunity when it comes to love, but only a few will be able to match your desire to do things unconventionally. Your experimental ways are best suited to those unafraid of failure and willing to try new things.

Hold out for the partner who suggests the unexpected.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Be a social butterfly, and enjoy mixing and mingling with people from all sorts of backgrounds. The wider and more varied the activities and events you attend are, the more likely you are to meet someone who fascinates, intrigues and wins your heart.
