Churchill on the war’s carnage
The 100th anniversary of the Great War is a time for reflection. I have a different quote that sums up the Great War experience. It comes from the beginning of Winston Churchill’s “The World Crisis. “The Great War through which we have passed differed from all ancient wars in the immense power of the combatants and their fearful agencies of destruction, and from all modern wars in the ruthlessness with which it was fought. All the horrors of all the ages were brought together, and not only armies but whole populations were thrust into them. The mighty educated States involved conceived with reason that their very existence was at stake. Germany having let hell loose kept well in the van of terror; but she was followed step by step by the desperate and ultimately avenging nations she had assailed. Every outrage against humanity was repaid by reprisals often on a greater scale and of longer duration. No truce or parley mitigated the strife of the armies. The wounded died between the lines; the dead moldered into the soil. Merchant ships and neutral ships and hospital ships were sunk on the seas and all on board left to their fate, or killed as they swam. Every effort was made to starve whole nations into submission without regard to age or 2 CITY
sex. Cities and monuments were smashed by artillery. Bombs from the air were cast down indiscriminately. Poison gas in many forms stifled or seared the soldiers. Liquid fire was projected on their bodies. Men fell from the air in flames, or were smothered, often slowly, in the dark recesses of the sea. The strength of armies was limited only by the manhood of their countries. Europe and large parts of Asia and Africa became one vast battlefield on which after years of struggle not armies but nations broke and ran. When all was over, Torture and Cannibalism were the only two expedients that the civilized, scientific, Christian States had been able to deny themselves; and these were of doubtful utility.” After all these years, it still seems a fitting summing up of the events.

Integration will help students
Thank you for Mark Hare’s insightful article, “Lessons for Rochester from Raleigh.” As a family doctor, I see the effects of poverty on health every day. Growing up in poverty affects a person’s health as a child and continues to affect their health well into adulthood. Reducing poverty is critical to the health of our community and to ensuring that our children receive a quality education helps further this goal. As Hare discusses, socioeconomic integration of schools has been proven to close achievement gaps. It’s time this concept becomes a serious part of the conversation here in Rochester. The ratio of 60 percent of students from middle or upper-income families and 40 percent of students from lowerincome families works in Raleigh, North Carolina. Socioeconomic integration has also been shown to
AUGUST 13-19, 2014
work in Cambridge, Massachusetts, as well as many other school districts across the country. In schools with this ratio, students thrive regardless of their socioeconomic background. There is a cycle in Rochester that needs to be broken. Parents who did not do well in school or dropped out likely do not provide good educational support at home. This environment means their children may not do as well in school, and the cycle continues. Socioeconomic integration improves achievement regardless of children’s home lives. This can break the cycle by creating better-educated children who become bettereducated adults and parents. All children in Rochester deserve a great education. Whether we implement this plan one school at a time or we overhaul the system, we cannot afford to wait. The health of our community depends on it. ELIZABETH MEEHAN
My husband and I were fortunate to be able to send my son to school in Wake County, North Carolina. Although he was automatically assigned to attend his neighborhood school in the suburbs, we chose to send him to one of the magnet schools in downtown Raleigh, which had 40 percent low-income students. At the magnet school fair, we could choose from schools with arts, Great Books, bilingual Spanish or French, STEM, and Montessori, among others. We ended up applying to a school with an inquirybased curriculum, similar to the several Expeditionary Learning schools in the Rochester school district. We were one of the lucky families; several of my friends’ children were waitlisted, and they had to attend their second-choice schools (their neighborhood schools). The low-income students who lived in the
inner-city neighborhood where the school was located were also lucky, because they were automatically assigned to that school without having to go through a cumbersome application process. I know that many parents worry about sending their children to schools with large numbers of lowincome students, but what we discovered was that rather than the low-income students pulling the middleclass students down, all the students were pulled up by having access to the resources and connections of the middle-class parents. When we moved back to Monroe County, we searched for a similar environment for our children, and actually found it in the Rush-Henrietta school district, which has a similar percentage of low-income students without sacrificing a high-quality education. I would welcome a countywide school district because it would increase my children’s choices, while at the same time decreasing the flight of middle-class families to the suburbs, which is killing the City of Rochester and will eventually be the death of the whole Greater Rochester region if we stick with the status quo.

The big benefits of clean energy
As a broad coalition dedicated to promoting clean energy and energy efficiency in New York State, we read with great interest the recent article on a local business using advanced technologies to simultaneously reduce its operating costs and environmental impacts (“Environmental Moves Make Good Business Sense”). We applaud Bob Bechtold and his company, Harbec, Inc., for prioritizing sustainability in their operations and for articulating so clearly that what’s good for the
environment can also be good for a bottom line. There is an additional rebound effect also worth mentioning. Companies like Harbec that invest in clean-energy technology are creating demand for a number of new, growing industries in New York. These include the manufacturers, suppliers, and installers of renewable energy technologies like wind, solar, fuel cells, and micro-hydro systems, and the wide range of products and services related to energy efficiency. For example, the company that installed Harbec’s second wind turbine, Sustainable Energy Developments, is a wind and solar project developer that employs over a dozen people, and as a neighbor within the Wayne Industrial Sustainability Park, they’re as local as it gets. Mr. Bechtold recalled a time when “it was impossible to get funding for a wind turbine,” and we’re happy to confirm that is indeed no longer the case. New York’s incentives for commercial and residential on-site windenergy systems are some of the best in the country, and the state recognizes that the environmental and economic benefits of clean distributed energy, as well as their ability to reduce demand on the electricity grid, make for an excellent return on investment. We encourage businesses and homeowners throughout the state to follow Harbec’s lead and consider the number of clean-energy and energy-efficiency options available. Investing in these technologies will have a positive impact on your wallet, your community, and the environment for decades to come. We wholeheartedly agree that it’s just good sense. LAURA LYMAN

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
Gannett’s future – and us One of the big national news stories last week had a deep local angle, and big implications for Rochester: The Democrat and Chronicle’s parent, the Gannett Company – founded here, and in the long-ago past, headquartered here – plans to split into two parts. One will contain its newspapers and their websites, the other its broadcast division. In splitting off its publishing division, Gannett is following the lead of some other big public media companies: Tribune, News Corp, EW Scripps, and Journal Communications. The reason for those separations is that the non-newspaper products are more attractive to investors, because they’re more profitable. Investors don’t buy stock in public newspaper companies to support good journalism; they buy it hoping it’ll make money for them. And right now, newspapers are considered a drag on the stocks of companies like Gannett. “The persistent financial demands of Wall Street have trumped the informational needs of Main Street,” concluded New York Times media curmudgeon David Carr. Our homegrown Gannett is now a media giant. It owns 82 daily newspapers, including the nationally distributed USA Today, and 443 non-daily publications. It owns or has agreements with 46 television stations. It owns the online job-search business CareerBuilder, and it will soon own all of Cars.com. Gannett’s newspapers have still been providing more revenue than broadcast has, but that’s simply because there are so many of them. Year-over-year revenue from newspapers hasn’t grown since 2006, says media analyst Ken Doctor, who has been commenting on the Gannett split on his online publication Newsonomics. Broadcast has been providing more than half of the company’s profits. And as Gannett has been buying more television stations, says Doctor, it’s “rapidly becoming a TV company.” The split raises some big questions about Gannett’s future, short-term and long-term. Some analysts speculate that Gannett will almost certainly buy more TV stations. Significantly, the new broadcast company will be able to buy television stations in markets where Gannett already owns newspapers, something federal regulations don’t permit a single corporation to do. Another speculation: that Gannett might buy more newspapers. In the split, the broadcast arm is taking all of the corporation’s debt, freeing up resources that the publishing company could use to buy more newspapers. That would represent growth for the company, but it would mean
Investors don’t buy stock in public newspaper companies to support good journalism; they buy it hoping it’ll make money for them.” fewer owners of the nation’s news media: not a good thing. It may be just as likely, though, that the result will be fewer Gannett newspapers – perhaps fewer newspapers period – if the publishing company can’t hack it on its own. A troubling sign: CareerBuilder and Cars.com, which analysts say are lucrative, are being put in the broadcast company, not the publishing company. So their revenue won’t help offset the decline in the newspapers’ ad revenue, if it continues. “I’m very skeptical that in the long term you are going to have a hard copy daily newspaper in each market,” media analyst Craig Huber told the New York Times. It’s not likely that the Gannett newspapers will ever show the kind of stunning profits that they did pre-internet. And my hunch is that unless the newspapers start to look like a strong, growing business, Gannett publishing stock won’t be attractive to investors. The Gannett newspapers will feel pressure to demonstrate growth. In the past, they’ve responded to that pressure with staff cuts. And I can’t imagine that there’s much left to cut without seriously affecting quality.

Developer may take on High Falls properties
City Council is considering legislation to sell the Brown’s Race Market at 60 Brown’s Race to local developer Ben Kendig for office space and two apartments. La Luna restaurant would be relocated in the same building. Kendig would also lease a refuse parcel at 36 Brown’s Race, and purchase the waterworks building at 74 Brown’s Race. The latter would be renovated for residential and office use. The fate of the former High Falls Interpretive Center inside the waterworks building is uncertain. Under the proposed legislation, Kendig would also repair and maintain the Triphammer Forge observation deck, mill wheel, and historic mill pit.
Giving notice on coverage changes
State Senator Ted O’Brien is co-sponsoring legislation that would require employers to give employees notice if they’re going to change insurance plans to restrict or eliminate contraceptive coverage. The bill is in response to a Supreme Court ruling that says privately-held companies don’t have to provide contraceptive cov-
erage if the owners have a religious objection.

TRANSPORTATION | BY JEREMY MOULE
Making connections in Pittsford The stretch of East Avenue between the Brighton town line and the Village of Pittsford is thick with houses. St. John Fisher and Nazareth colleges are within the corridor, too, which is located in the Town of Pittsford. And it’s common to see people walking or jogging in that area of East. But since no sidewalks run alongside the road, people have to use the shoulder or the grass. Pittsford officials are trying to change that. Town engineers and planners say they want to install a sidewalk on the west side of East Avenue; it’d start at the Brighton town line and continue until it meets
an existing sidewalk at the Village of Pittsford line. Many residents who live within the corridor have been asking for sidewalks for some time, says Pittsford Supervisor Bill Smith. And he says the idea makes sense. It’d connect the neighborhoods, colleges, and village, Smith says, and make that part of town more walkable. There’s a safety consideration, too, he says, since cars often drive much faster than the street’s 40 mph speed limit. Officials picked the west side of the road, Smith says, because of trees and other topographical challenges on the east side.
The town plans to install the sidewalk next summer, he says. But since East Avenue is a state route, approval is needed from the State Department of Transportation. Town officials have submitted the plans, Smith says. St. John Fisher College is developing a related project, Smith says. The college wants a sidewalk at the edge of its campus along East Avenue and Fairport Road, he says. And Fisher officials may ask the state to reconfigure the lanes on that stretch of road, he says, to calm traffic.

Pistol permits, issued by the county in which the applicant lives, are not valid in New York City. In Monroe County, the prohibition is stated right on the permit. “It hasn’t been a big secret that New York City is not very gun friendly and they don’t want you to carry a gun there. [ DAVID JENKINS ]
GUNS | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN
Have gun? Don’t travel Navigating New York State’s maze of gun laws is a punishing exercise; permit privileges vary by county and even in a “full carry” county such as Monroe, there are exceptions. New York City is a different ballgame altogether. Diane Watkins, a teacher in the Rochester school district and former candidate for City Council, got caught in this complicated web earlier this year. She was arrested in May after a loaded handgun was allegedly found in her purse while Watkins was on a school field trip to New York City. She was charged with second-degree criminal possession of a weapon — a felony. She declined comment on this story. Pistol permits, issued by the county in which the applicant lives, are not valid in New York City. In Monroe County, the prohibition is stated right on the permit. Permit holders in Monroe County are allowed to carry their handgun, but it must be concealed; New York does not allow open carry. David Jenkins, founder and primary instructor of Rochester Personal Defense, says a good guideline is that no one should be able to tell that you’re carrying a gun.
Rochester Personal Defense offers self-defense, firearm, and pistol-permit training to citizens and law enforcement. And there are legal prohibitions on where you can carry, Jenkins says. For example, no guns are allowed in schools or courthouses, he says. “If you have a firearm permit, you understand your rights and where you may carry and may not,” says Mike Mazzeo, president of the Rochester police union, the Locust Club. It is almost impossible for a nonresident to get permission to carry a handgun in New York City, say Mazzeo and Jenkins. Neither is clear on the exact regulations, but Jenkins says that a special exemption would have to be granted from someone very high up the chain — likely the New York City police commissioner — in order for someone to legally carry a handgun in the city. “It hasn’t been a big secret that New York City is not very gun friendly and they don’t want you to carry a gun there,” Jenkins says. Watkins’ fate with the Rochester school district is uncertain. The district is conducting a review of the New York City incident, says Superintendent

EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
Vargas: results are coming Rochester schools Superintendent Bolgen Vargas used his State of the Schools speech last week to assure parents, students, and community leaders that the district is on a path to improvement. But creating a culture that’s firmly focused on the basics — literacy, attendance, budgeting, and basic management — will take more time, he said. Vargas gave examples of some of the district’s challenges to explain why change seems to be taking so long. The district had six different English language arts curriculums in 12 years, he said, and a 22 percent decline in enrollment over 15 years. Vargas also touted changes he’s made since he came on board in 2011, including the addition of music and art teachers, social workers, librarians, and sports programs. And he revisited a familiar theme — increasing instruction time. Vargas said he’s done all of this while also rolling out the new Common Core curriculum and staterequired teacher evaluations. He also expanded pre-kindergarten and is overseeing much of the modernization of Rochester’s old school buildings. But it was the confrontational stance that Vargas took with the bargaining unit for principals and administrators that resulted in the evening’s most provocative moment. He said that the contracts he inherited, tenure laws, and administrators’ inflexibility are hindering improvement.

Rochester through the long lens
Ira Srole has been a city photographer for more than 30 years. PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLIN

Many photographers can’t resist the allure of abandoned buildings and vacant houses. Shooting images of peeling wallpaper and weathered door frames appeals to beginning and seasoned photographers alike. But City of Rochester photographer Ira Srole says he found it sobering. Srole used to accompany city building inspectors to photograph every room in a house or building, he says, as a form of documentation. “You’re seeing what once was somebody’s personal space,” Srole says. “Most of us dream of having our own home, and this often is a history of personal failure, usually because of poverty.” Rochester is one of the few cities in the country that employs a full-time photographer. Srole was that photographer from 1979 until just a few years ago. He now works part-time. His colleague, David Mohney, is the city’s full-time photographer. You’ve probably seen Srole’s photos on everything from city brochures and posters to newspaper articles. In its most literal sense, the job of the city photographer is documenting the people, places, and events that occur within city government, he says. But in many respects, Srole’s work helps shape the city’s image, he says. “My job is to assist the administration through the medium of photography,” he says. “I’m always trying to inform. Most people don’t really have a clue about Rochester.” 6 CITY
AUGUST 13-19, 2014
He says that there is a promotional aspect to his work. “I don’t look at that in a negative way,” Srole says. “For example, I think Mayor Lovely Warren would be the first to say that Rochester has some real problems. She’s a realist. But there are good things happening here, too, and part of the job is to counter the media’s appetite for negative stories.” Srole’s interest in photography began as a
hobby while he was living in Montreal in the early 1970’s. “I had gotten a certain amount of respect for my work and I thought, ‘Maybe I should get a master’s degree in this,’” he says. “People told me Rochester is a really great place for photography. What they meant was RIT.” While attending RIT, Srole photographed a congregation of AfricanAmericans practicing a form of Judaism. He says the experience was pivotal – a confirmation that he was in the right field.
Being of white European Jewish descent, he says he was aware of the historical significance of preserving temples. And he heard that a group of people of color was restoring a synagogue on Leopold Street with the help of the Landmark Society. He says he was captivated by the group’s passion and commitment. “The whole idea just floored me,” Srole says. “I knew that there were black people who were Jewish, but that there was this group right here in Rochester really resonated with me.” Not many people in Rochester knew this community of Jews existed at the time, Srole says. He spent nearly a year photographing them. “I photographed them in all kinds of situations—in the temple, in some of their homes, in some of their work places, and during their leisure times.” Srole says he is inspired by the work of Dorothea Lange, whose iconic images of migrant workers struggling during the Dust Bowl are some of the most important images of 20th century American life. “Sometimes the most mundane things may seem like they are not worthy of being photographed,” he says. “But they often turn out to be important images. Lange captured ordinary people doing extraordinary things, and she photographed them with love and caring.”
Srole says that one of the more unusual aspects of his job is that elections often mean he has a new boss. “It’s always been very exciting when a new mayor came into office because the changes mean new things to document,” he says. “Mayor Bill Johnson came into office and succeeded Mayor Ryan, and that was very big because Mayor Johnson was, of course, our first African-American mayor. It was huge. It was historical.” And with each change at the top, Srole says, comes a new set of priorities. “Mayor Johnson was very passionate about spreading the word about the perils of urban sprawl, and he decided he was going to use photography to help educate the public,” he says. “He wanted people to know what damage sprawl was doing to this entire area.” Srole says one incident with Johnson stands out. They were at a ground-breaking ceremony and Johnson scooped up a shovel full of dirt and tossed it at Srole. “He was in a frisky mood that day,” Srole says. “I don’t think he meant it in a bad way, but I wasn’t expecting to have to dust myself off after that shoot.” Documenting Mayor Warren is a bit like following a celebrity, Srole says. continues on page 9

their newsrooms. As Asbury Park’s Hollis Towns put it: “We are building a 21st century newsroom to meet your needs.” Among the changes: they’re putting more resources into their digital work, hiring more reporters, “flattening” their management and laying off some managers. They’re putting more emphasis on sending reporters out into the community, “listening, tweeting, and holding conversations with you in local coffee shops and delis,” Towns wrote. The five editors used such descriptions as “fundamental and transformative change,” “bolder approach,” “bolder step,” “sweeping overhaul,” “sweeping reconfiguration.” Each of the editors stressed their commitment to hard-news coverage, to investigative work, to leading their communities in addressing key challenges such as education and drug abuse: all encouraging words. “Reporters will be empowered to roam for news and listen to you in a more self-directed way,” said Towns’ statement. But then he said this: “The stories they write will be based on what you read and click on.” To many journalists, that kind of talk is blasphemous. And that attitude in an editor is not a good sign. The “bold,” “sweeping” changes are taking place only at five Gannett dailies. It’s a pilot project, designed, presumably, to see whether it increases readership and revenue. So maybe it won’t spread to Rochester. But the last big change – inserting USA Today into every Gannett daily – began as a pilot, with Rochester one of the testing grounds, and it then rolled out through the chain fairly quickly. After the Gannett news broke, I e-mailed
longtime Democrat & Chronicle reporter Steve Orr, who is president of the Newspaper Guild of Rochester, asking for the Guild’s thoughts about the developments. On the broadcast-publishing split, Orr said this: “While there had been talk that Gannett, like other media companies, might split its television and newspaper divisions, there was no advance warning of the announcement, so it’s fair to say many of us were caught by surprise. Since the announcement we’ve gotten almost no information about the pending change, which apparently won’t be consummated for a year or so. So in terms of what it means for the future of the news operation in Rochester or for our jobs, we have no insight yet.” The news about the pilot project in the five Gannett dailies “has created a bit of a stir here today,” Orr said, “but we are told these properties are test sites that are trying out various approaches to newsroom organization and news coverage. We are not a test site at present, so we’ve been told nothing is likely
Editors at five Gannett dailies promise sweeping, bold, transformative changes – which will include basing stories on readers’ online clicks. to change here in the near future. But some sort of change may well occur down the road. What, we don’t know.” “It appears we’re now in a new period of uncertainty,” Orr said, “though not the first one by any means. Newsroom employees no doubt share the hope of our readers and viewers that we’ll pass through this period more or less intact and be able to continue doing our best to inform the community.” This could end well. Despite my skepticism about the bulking up that the Democrat and Chronicle hyped a few months ago, the news side has been doing some good stuff. There are more reporters, more digging, more watchdogging. So maybe the spun-off publishing branch will devote itself companywide to investing in quality journalism, in giving us what we need to know in order to function as well-informed citizens. Still, the pilot project going on in the five Gannett dailies makes me nervous. If sending reporters out to coffee shops to chat with the public spurs readership, and if basing articles on the number of online clicks results in higher profits, maybe the Gannett publishing division will be successful financially. It may not provide the journalism the public needs, though. And if the new effort doesn’t work, and circulation and ad revenue continue to decline, what then? In a Newsonomics post late last month, Ken Doctor wondered “how much stomach” Gannett still has for the newspaper business. Despite its potential faults, the pilot project indicates that for the moment, the company’s publishing executives still want to find a way to keep going. It’s possible that as media companies spin off their newspapers into a separate business, some of those papers will be sold. Whether that’s good or bad will depend on who buys them. In the end, you have to wonder about the future of Gannett as a publishing business. And it’s hard to watch what’s happening at Gannett without wondering why so many Rochester-made products have headed down this path. Kodak, Bausch and Lomb, Gannett… Is it something in our water? New period of uncertainty indeed.

She is the city’s first woman mayor and its youngest. Her youth is appealing to young people; Srole says he’s never seen anything quite like it. “She loves the people of Rochester and she especially loves going into schools and talking with students,” he says. “And it’s amazing to see how they just flock to her. They want to touch her and they want her autograph.” Documenting Rochester’s sesquicentennial celebration in 1984 was one of Srole’s favorite assignments involving numerous events and stories. “I was relatively new, so that stands out for the sheer volume of events,” he says. “There was so much pride and positive energy.” Advances in technology have changed
not only how photographs are taken and archived, Srole says, but the way people think about photography. The city, which began taking photographs of its public works projects roughly 100 years ago, has approximately a million images in its collection, Srole says. The city archives folders of images on a website, www.cityofrochester.smugmug. com. Many of the images, though not all, can be accessed through the Monroe County Library System. A decidedly low-tech photo journal has been used to log every job assignment since 1979, including a job number, description, and date. But just about every other aspect of the job has gone digital — something that Srole admits he’s a little reticent about. “I’m not a particularly techy guy, so I was a little resistant,” he says. He says he started shooting with a Nikon Nikkormat and a Minolta Rangefinder, mostly in black and white. Digital allows an infinite number of images at a far lower cost, Srole says, but something else has changed, too. He says that when he began his career, like most photographers, he focused on a single moment in time. But in this era when anyone with a phone can capture an image, people aren’t always sure of what they’re seeing. They want to know more, he says, and video provides that to some degree. But that hasn’t diminished the role of photography, he says. “There is still something big and powerful in a photograph even though it’s not representative of all reality,” he says.

Algal blooms discussion
Where Free Speech is Alive and Well
IS SHUTTING DOWN AFTER NEARLY 7 YEARS!
The Finger Lakes Institute at Hobart and William Smith Colleges will host a discussion on blue-green algae from 4:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday, August 21. The alga was the cause of the water ban that impacted people in Ohio
and Michigan. Similar types of toxins have been found in samples in Honeoye and Owasco lakes in recent years. The presentation is intended to help the public and municipal officials differentiate among algae and harmful algal blooms. Registration at www.hws. edu. Cost is $25 for the general public and $20 for students. The event includes a tour of the institute at 601 South Main Street, Geneva, and a picnic buffet.

Sabra Grill features a deep menu of Moroccan and Israeli dishes, including (from left to right) the shwarma in a laffa wrap, stuffed puff pastries, and a hamsa plate with five salads. PHOTOS BY MARK CHAMBERLIN
Meet and eat [ CHOW HOUND ] BY KATIE LIBBY
The story of Sabra Grill (2600 Elmwood Avenue) reads like a word problem from a standardized test. Question: Your mom has a culinary degree, your dad is a contractor, and you own an event planning business, what type of business should you all open together? Answer: A restaurant, obviously. Noy Cohen Botier, along with her mother and father, did just that. Sabra Grill recently opened in the Brighton space formerly occupied by Bagel Bin Café. The building itself has been designated “The Meeting Place” and currently houses two food-related businesses: Sabra Grill and Yolickity Frozen Yogurt Bar. Bruegger’s Bagels will open a location there at the end of the fall. The space has the look and feel of a mall food court, minus the close vicinity to The Gap — and your chance of being mowed down by a mall walker is significantly less. The night that I visited Sabra Grill, Yolickity was hosting a youngster’s birthday party while other diners sat and read. A few large conference tables can be reserved for lunch meetings and are set back from the main area. Every menu item is certified kosher — in fact, the restaurant has a certificate signed by
every Rabbi in the area saying so. The positive response this garnered from diners at Sabra Grill inspired Yolickity to also obtain the certificate. Typically, those keeping kosher hold their social gatherings at Jewish community centers to ensure that all is food prepared correctly, but Cohen Botier wanted to open a restaurant and community space offering a fresh take on kosher food for all to enjoy. The Moroccan/Israeli recipes are from Cohen Botier’s mother, Ruth Cohen, who you can routinely find behind the counter. Sabra’s take on the Shawarma sandwich ($10) is a stuffed pita overflowing with a boneless turkey-lamb combination, hummus, tahini, cucumber, tomato, and onion. I added the Matbucha sauce, a spicy concoction of Moroccan hot pepper and tomato. The restaurant’s wide variety of salads can be sampled if you order the Hamsa Plate ($7 for five salads served with pita). On the menu is Knish, in potato and spinach varieties, and the Israeli Boreka which is puffed pastry stuffed with spinach, meat, or mushrooms ($7 for plate of either). Shakshuka ($7), a traditional baked dish comprised of poached eggs in a spicy tomato and pepper sauce, served in a pita, is available until 2 p.m. each day.
Cohen Botier is hoping to grow the business, both with more locations and with catering. Like “the Chipotle of kosher food,” she says with a laugh. Sabra Grill is located at 2600 Elmwood Avenue and is open Sunday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Friday, 11:00 a.m. to 4 p.m. All menu items are under $12. Visit Sabra Grill’s website at sabragrillroc.com for more information.

While orchestras around the country are struggling to reach new audiences, the RPO’s new, young music director has a few ideas.

A
[ INTERVIEW ] BY JAKE CLAPP [ PHOTOS ] BY MARK CHAMBERLIN
small, excited grin starts across Ward Stare’s face as he dives into a description of the program he’ll conduct during the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra’s season opener on September 18 and 20. Johannes Brahms’ Violin Concerto in D Major “is very much like a seed just growing out in a beautifully shaped plant or organism that’s living and breathing,” he says, hands gesturing a blooming plant. “It gives the orchestra a chance to bring out a lot of subtle color and shape with the soloist in a very intimate, expressive way.” Blue eyes light up. His enthusiasm builds as he describes the music. And it’s infectious: It’s hard not to get swept up by Stare’s excitement, simply because of his eagerness to share. On September 1, the 31-year-old Stare will become the RPO’s music director, the 12th in the organization’s 91-year history. His selection is an indication the RPO is determined to find new ways to break down long-standing barriers to classical music and reach a broader audience. The music director’s position has been vacant since January 2013, following the RPO’s dismissal of Arild Remmereit. “We looked at a number of really good candidates,” says Dawn Lipson, RPO board chair, during an interview with CITY. “But ultimately, what we thought we needed for the RPO was someone who really had a new vision for the orchestra.” Financial troubles have been pushing orchestras across the country to search for new ways to engage audiences and draw more people into concert halls. There’s a major effort to reach younger members of the community; to create a welcoming, less intimidating environment; and to find ways to connect the unfamiliar with classical music. But while these aren’t necessarily new problems, no one seems to have found a perfect solution. For many symphony orchestra leaders, the discussion has included incorporating new media into concerts, but they’ll have to make sure that efforts to attract new audiences won’t drive away existing ones. A difficult question remains: How do organizations add to the concert experience without demeaning artistic value?
“You use the same wheel, but you use it a little differently,” says Mark Kellogg, the RPO’s principal trombone and chair of the musicians’ section of the music director search committee. “I think that’s incredibly important, and Ward gets that. I think he’ll be the right person to help us find and define new ways to do that.” Stare will be the RPO’s youngest music director, but he already has a lengthy list of accomplishments: principal trombonist for the Lyric Opera of Chicago Orchestra at age 18; recipient of the Robert J. Harth Conductor Prize and the Aspen Conducting Prize; conducting appearances with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the Norwegian National Opera, the Cleveland Orchestra, the Moscow Chamber Orchestra, the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin. He was resident conductor of the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra from 2008 to 2012, and he made his Carnegie Hall debut with that orchestra in 2009. Stare debuted with the RPO in February 2013 and conducted the RPO again in a summer concert last year. “In the orchestra, we’re all very excited to see how the relationship with him will develop,” Kellogg says. “Ward has already demonstrated tremendous work and great accomplishment in his short career, and I think his trajectory has such potential.” Stare will develop in parallel with the orchestra, Kellogg says. “This is an orchestra that will continue to grow.” And Stare says he thinks his youth is an advantage, a bridge between the RPO’s rich history and the possibility for an innovative future — a sentiment echoed by Kellogg and Dawn Lipson. “We’re looking for new ways to reach our public,” Stare says. “Because ultimately, music is about communication, and I want to reach out and communicate with as many people, on a direct level, as we possibly can in Rochester.” Stare discussed his vision for an innovative Rochester Philharmonic during a recent interview. The following is an edited version of that interview.
CITY: What music are you listening to right now? Ward Stare: Well, I’m listening to some
things for projects coming up in the
future. I’ve been listening to a lot of Bach lately, because I’m working on an arrangement for a concert I’m doing next season of the Chaconne for violin. Just to get back into the mindset of Bach, I was listening to a lot of it the last few months. I’ve always loved it, but I’ve been reconnecting with that. Pop culture wise, I like to turn a radio station on in the car to see what’s getting a lot of play and get a feel for it. Do you often get out of the classical world? Or is it that when you listen to music, you have to listen to things like Bach because you’re working on a project?
People ask me if I want to relax and listen to classical music, and I love it, but it really engages my mind in a pretty full way, so it’s not necessarily relaxing. Things like jazz, popular music, or rock ‘n’ roll, I find that relaxing because it’s still familiar, but it’s not my business; I don’t listen to it with the same critical ear as I do classical music. From your perspective, what is your job as music director? What is on your shoulders as you go forward with the RPO?
A lot of people have asked me this week what’s the difference between a music director and a conductor. The conductor only conducts concerts. The music director is responsible for the whole wide range of things the orchestra does artistically and for the big picture really — in addition to the responsibilities of conducting concerts. Things like programming the entire season. Even when I’m not conducting, I’ll still be part of the process of selecting repertoire and artists and making sure there’s a common thread — or a vision at least, if not a common thread — for the overall season, so we have the right diversity for the season. More than that, the music director is responsible for maintaining and growing the artistic excellence of the orchestra. One of the things I’m most attracted to about being a music director is you have so many more opportunities to interact with the orchestra. Every time I come to the podium to rehearse and perform with them, we’re building on what we’ve done before. So at a certain point a lot of the work has been done and we won’t need to establish our mutual take on how we interpret Brahms versus Stravinsky. “What does a forte mean in Beethoven?” “What continues on page 14 rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 13
FINE-TUNING does a sforzando mean?” All of these little things are questions you can ask yourself and answer when you’re the music director with your orchestra. Also, you develop a sort of culture of personality with the orchestra and music director, and eventually, I would like us to develop our own unique sound to where people will say, “Wow, yeah that sounds like Ward Stare and the Rochester Philharmonic.” Together it’s that one-two punch. The next big part is figuring out how we can relate to the community in a fresh, modern, and relevant way. I’m interested and excited to break down the barriers that exist between classical music and the public. It took me a long time to get my head around it. I came to classical music so early that for me there were no barriers, it was always a part of my life. But once I went out into the world and started to realize that a lot of people don’t have much common experience to base any knowledge of classical music on. And I think it’s unfair for us to expect that they would, especially when music education is in a pitiful state. We hope to do everything we can to encourage people to resurrect and improve upon music education in schools. It really starts there with children having a baseline of knowledge. Now we have a generation of people who, through no fault of their own, just have no knowledge of music, and it’s not their fault. I want to start at the ground level and make sure they know it’s OK, they shouldn’t be intimidated by the orchestra; they shouldn’t be intimidated by us. Is there a disconnect between the classical music world and, for lack of a better term, the popular world, then?
Unfortunately there is. I think people have a misconception that we’re living in a wax museum. For example, we still wear concert clothing that’s very much removed from anyone’s common experience. There was a time — around Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven’s time — where the public, many of them, would have been better dressed than the musicians. And then it kind of evened out, and we came to a time when most of the audience and the musicians would have been in tails to attend a concert. And for some reason, the orchestra froze there and now the audience wears more modern, nice clothing. That’s another barrier. We have all of these barriers and I think it doesn’t serve us well to perpetuate those. I’m interested in any way we can shatter that perception. Do you think many of these barriers or problems are new?
It’s been going on for a long time. But what we need people to know is that 14 CITY AUGUST 13-19, 2014

music is very much alive. Music is not the problem. There was a study [“The Search for Shining Eyes” conducted by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation] done of the last 15 years or so that said 60 percent of the adults polled had an interest in classical music, but out of that 60 percent, only 5 percent stepped foot into a concert hall. We have to ask ourselves, why is that? When asked further, most of these people said that if they were to stick their toe into the pool of classical music they would do it in their car or at home on their stereo. That was the way they would choose to consume the media. That tells me classical music isn’t the problem; the interest is there. It’s the delivery system. It’s how we’re getting it to the public that needs to be updated. That’s a complex issue, but there are things we can do in the concert experience itself to make it more welcoming. People can feel uncomfortable because they’re out of their element. I would like the concert experience to be an event, something people look forward to, something people can talk about for weeks to come and create a little more of a buzz around the event. And to make it a little more user-friendly. I’m sure it’s too early to talk specifics —
Well, I wouldn’t want to promise anything I can’t deliver.
“Classical music isn’t the problem; the interest is there. It’s the delivery system. It’s how we’re getting it to the public that needs to be updated.” Do you have a few general ideas, though? Is it through integration of certain technologies, is it through performing in a more casual setting, or in less formal clothing? How can the RPO be innovators?
All of those things you just mentioned have great possibility. We’ve finally reached a point where technology — we’ve had the capabilities to do a lot of things for a long time, but it was prohibitively expense. Now technology is affordable enough that we can do a lot of really exciting things that would have cost too much before. We always hear the stories about the phone that goes off during inopportune moments during the concert, it’s a fact of life. I’m not suggesting we encourage people to take phone calls during concerts, but I think there are some
that would like to see people leave the phone at home — that’s not a reality, that won’t happen. I think we should figure out a way to get ahead of it and use it to our advantage, rather than pushing back against it. Because it’s not a battle we can win. [Stare was later asked] Could you give me an example of how cell phones could be used? Have other orchestras tried cell phones and apps before?
I don’t want to go into too many specifics here, because we are currently working to develop ideas. But one could imagine having extensive program notes and supplemental information about pieces and performers available on a mobile app (eliminating the need for thick program books), as well as
various ways to integrate social media into the concert experience. Orchestras have had hand-held electronic “concert companions” and such before, and some orchestras have done concerts where people were encouraged to tweet live during the performance, but it hasn’t yet all been integrated into one app which can be made available by the orchestra itself (and operated by the user from his or her personal cellphone). The possibilities go far beyond the two examples that I just mentioned but, again, I don’t want to get ahead of myself by promising things which I won’t be able to actually deliver to our public. Are many other orchestras around the country already doing trying these things?
Conversations are starting to happen all over the country, so I would like to see the RPO and the community get behind it so we can be a leader and innovator. There was a time when the Rochester Philharmonic was on the cutting edge of technology. George Eastman bought radios and had them sent to schools so children could hear the Rochester Philharmonic during lunch time. There was a very brief window when the Rochester Philharmonic was heard in more households and by more people, locally and nationally, than the New York Philharmonic. It was very brief, but there was a time. I would like to come full circle and see the Rochester Philharmonic be on the cutting edge again. I think we’re ready; the community’s ready and the orchestra is ready. Have you heard pushback against those ideas? Are some voicing, “This is what classical should be, it shouldn’t integrate other technologies into it.” For example, if you add video projections, could this become too messy?
It depends on how you integrate the technology. I don’t think we should do anything that could be offensive or intrude on the traditional concert experience for those would like to enjoy it. That’s the key. I’m not looking to fundamentally change it for those audiences, I’m looking to fundamentally enhance it for those who are missing something. When you talk about projections on the screen, that’s a movie concert and that’s different. I would never see that as an enhancement to a Philharmonic’s concert, but there are other things that can be done which are on a more personalized level that would not necessarily disturb someone who just wants to go and unplug and have a traditional concert experience. Those are the kinds of things we’re looking for.
Do you run the risk, though, of pulling in an idea and it becomes a gimmick, dumbing down the experience in some way?
Not if it’s done well; if it’s done right. Think about how we all consume most everything these days. It comes through a phone. And it doesn’t have to be through a phone in a concert. Many people bring binoculars to a concert, for example. They want to see up close and personal what’s happening on the stage. There’s nothing wrong with that, but because you don’t have to charge the binoculars and they might not ring, people might not think about that. It’s a way to enhance the concert. Little small things that could enhance the live experience for people are very good. Embracing the media aspect of things is the way to the future.
T
he Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra will open its 2014-15 season on Thursday, September 18, and Saturday, September 20, with performances of Hector Berlioz’s “Beatrice and Benedict Overature,” Johannes Brahms’ “Violin Concerto in D Major,” and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s “Symphony No. 4.” Ward Stare will conduct — his only conducting appearance with the RPO this season. The concert will also feature violinist Midori. During his interview, Stare spent some time enthusiastically describing the concert’s program. Ward Stare: Berlioz is one of my
favorite composers, too. I put him and Beethoven in the same category in a lot of ways. They were both mavericks. Berlioz was just so zany and so crazy, and he pushed the boundaries just like Beethoven did. Beethoven had broken all the rules; Berlioz just went even further. “Beatrice and Benedict” is the overture we’re starting with. I frequently like to start concerts with Berlioz overtures because they’re exciting but they’re spicy and lyrically expressive. The Brahms is one of my favorite violin concertos. I love Brahms for
“I would like to come full circle and see the Rochester Philharmonic be on the cutting edge again. I think we’re ready; the community’s ready and the orchestra is ready.” I’m sure, again, it’s too early to talk about specifics, but do you have anything on your mind about the kinds of composers you would like to bring in when you start programming the 2015-16 season?
I want a wide variety. I want repertoire for the season that will be fresh and new for the orchestra and for the audience. But I would like repertoire for the season that will familiar to the audience. It’s unfair to expect them
to take not just one leap of them coming to the concert hall, if you’re trying to grow an audience, but then three and four. If they sit down, they’re unfamiliar with the composers and wonder why they spent their money. I think it’s important to have a balance. I would like to see at least one thing on every program, even if it’s just an overture, that is familiar to the audience so they can say, “Yeah I know that, it was great to hear
the riches in the texture and the color, and it’s very thoughtful, organic music. Brahms is very much like a seed just growing out in a beautifully shaped plant or organism that’s living and breathing. It gives the orchestra a chance to bring out a lot of subtle color and shape with the soloist in a very intimate, expressive way. It’s almost like a symphony, it’s very long, it’s rich; it has great moments for the orchestra and for the soloist, which I would want for an opening program. You want to feature a great soloist, but you want to make sure the orchestra has an opportunity, too. Tchaikovsky’s “Fourth”: everyone will probably recognize some themes from that. For Tchaikovsky, it was about fate and this inner struggle that he was going through. It’s a real journey that you experience. The first movement is a crisis of faith for Tchaikovsky and has some really deep poignant questions. At the end of the first movement, we’re not quite sure — it does not end on a happy note. It’s almost episodic, so the second episode, with a really beautiful solo, takes us into a warmer place where there’s a little bit of optimism. The third movement has the wonderful highlight for the strings doing the pizzicato — plucking the whole time.
it live, and by the way, the piece we heard by that new composer, that was interesting, too.” But they feel like they got their money’s worth because they heard that great overture, that famous symphony that they’ve known since childhood. If you show good faith to the audience in that way, they’ll be more apt to trust you. It’s a give and take, you have to build a relationship with your audience. I’m also very interested in cultivating relationships with new composers, or younger composers, living composers. I really love creating a new work together, world premieres; I loved the fact that my debut with the orchestra included a world premiere by the late Doug Lowry, “The Freedom Zephyr,” on my first concert with the RPO. That was a wonderful experience. It adds a certain excitement to it when the audience know this work hasn’t been heard by continues on page 30 rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 15

Harper’s eclectic blend of affecting soul, blues, and roots, mixed with stylings from his native Australia, is nothing short of enchanting. Backed by his Michigan-based band, Midwest Wind, Harper rolls through tried-and-true blues with a welcome dash of Australian didgeridoo flavor. — BY ALEXANDER JONES
Doyle
Nasty Habit surprises with “Desperate Times, Desperate Measures,” the band’s second release. Its five fantastic songs of classic hard-rock/metal positively rocks, soars, and boogies. The band’s earlier breakneck abandon was cool to hear — and watch — but if it escalated any further, chances are there was going to be a body count. It’s damn near impossible to reference a musical era without getting caught up in its excess and clichés, however the Upstate upstarts in Nasty Habit manage to harness hair metal without the tired tongue-in-cheek absurdity of most that try and fail. The casual observer might have predicted this album as merely a flashy, reckless hard ‘n’ heavy follow up, but the band has expertly learned to apply the brakes on the curves by incorporating power ballad elements that fit well with the overall metal feel. This is a mature collection of songs you’d expect on a band’s third or fourth album after it started out strong on number one, and got it’s motley ya-ya’s out on number two. The problem is, a lot of bands in this genre burn out long before that happens. Nasty Habit endures and with “Desperate Times, Desperate Measures,” the boys in the band are keeping metal alive as much as metal has saved them from the fire. I can’t wait to see where Nasty Habit goes next … — BY FRANK DE BLASE
FRIDAY, AUGUST 15 MONTAGE MUSIC HALL, 50 CHESTNUT STREET 8 P.M. | $15-$50 | THEMONTAGEMUSICHALL.COM; OFFICIALDOYLE.COM [ ROCK ] Known widely for his days with horror punk
pioneers The Misfits, guitarist Doyle could very well be the most violent guitar player of all time. He gets his heavy, crunchy, kick-in-your-face tone by playing his handmade guitar, “Annihilator,” through a bass amp, and down stroking like he is attempting to murder his strings. The hulking guitarist put out the album “Abominator” last year, which puts horror punk through a heavy metal grinder. — BY TREVOR LEWIS

18 CITY AUGUST 13-19, 2014
Collective Soul is a rock ‘n’ roll constant in the hallowed electric church. It’s a mondohit-making machine that bypasses the pop vacuum with credible rock, hooks, and substance. This year marks 20 years of career highs and lows and a string of undeniable hits for the Atlanta-based outfit. And as a warm up for the impending release of its new (and ninth) studio album, “See What You Started By Continuing,” Collective Soul front man, Ed Roland is hitting the unplugged highway to mount stages acoustically. This rare, dialedback approach will give the listener a stark, stripped down view into Collective Soul — and specifically, Roland’s head and the wealth of incredible songwriting found there-in. Roland’s stop in town last year was with his Americana side-band, The Sweet Tea Project. Although Roland contends it’s not a side project in its impact and relevance, The Sweet Tea Project showcased an even rootsier side to the man. Raucous and charming and a bit looser than Collective Soul, you could still hear Collective Soul burning just beneath the surface — as I’m sure there’s
some Sweet Tea to be heard brewing in Collective Soul. It’s all Roland. CITY sat down with Roland for a hot minute to discuss getting back to where the band started, and see what he has started by continuing.
especially lyrically. It’s helped me to open up lyrically and not be afraid to tell stories. What is the common thread shared by both bands, if any?
The attempt at strong melodies.
CITY: Tell us a little about the new album. Ed Roland: We kind of went back to where
For you, what must a song always have before it’s done?
we started with a lot of guitars but still with pop driven melodies.
I guess there’re two things: memorable lyrics and a memorable melody.
How does it feel getting back into the Collective Soul groove after playing with The Sweet Tea Project?
How has your songwriting process changed over the years? How has it remained the same?
It’s been great. We took some time off after 19 years. It was a great holiday for everybody and it rejuvenated the whole projects again.
It’s always remained the same. That is; it’s always been honest. After 20 years, I would like to think I’ve grown as a person which means I’ve grown as a songwriter with the subjects that I write about.
How and where does this album fit in the whole Collective Soul pantheon?
It sounds like early Collective Soul, but it’s the best Collective Soul yet How has the band evolved?
After 20 years, you’d like to think you get better at your craft no matter what that craft it. And I think we’ve become better friends and understand each other, and where we want to go musically. Has The Sweet Tea Project changed your view or approach to Collective Soul?
Yes, it’s opened my songwriting up a lot,
Will The Sweet Tea Project forever be a side band for you? Or perhaps something more?
I never considered it a side band. It’s very important to me and my soul. It’s just another expression of what I’m about. What is it about playing acoustically in a small club show that you can’t get in bigger venues?
True form of how the song was written. That’s how it starts and that’s how it should end.

ROCK | KONGOS
KONGOS released its debut album, “Lunatic,” in 2012 and made a pretty significant splash in South Africa, the band’s homeland, but waited until October 2013 to release it in the U.S. Americans were quick to catch on, and now virtually every alt-rock radio station has the tracks “I’m Only Joking” or “Come with Me Now” on constant standby. It’s easy to see the popularity: KONGOS is immediately accessible, but carries so much below the surface. Four brothers of Greek descent, sons of the singer-songwriter John Kongos, raised in South Africa and London, got together to play lively folk-pop that incorporates a world of influences. Pounding African drums, an accordion that calls to mind Eastern Europe, an American rootsy guitar, packaged up with main-stage rock star swagger. You get a taste on the radio, but immediately want to know more. KONGOS opens for Kings of Leon on Tuesday, August 19, at Darien Lake, 9993 Allegheny Road, Darien Center. 7 p.m. $29.50-$65.50.

ROCK | THE PRESIDENTS OF THE USA
Back in the 1990’s, when America had the world by the nuts, Seattle-based band The Presidents of the USA rode a wave of popularity. Sure, bands like Nirvana could eat these guys for breakfast, but who released albums on Election Day or performed at Mount Rushmore? The Presidents of the USA climbed to the top of the greasy pole but still delivered the goods with plenty of gung-ho enthusiasm. Lead singer and bassist Chris Ballew and company have been parodied by “Weird Al” Yankovic and continue to perform nostalgic tunes like “Peaches,” which could get you singing along even if you think it’s silly. Nevertheless, the twice Grammy-nominated trio is touring in support of a brand spanking new album, “Kudos to You!” The Presidents of the USA performs Thursday, August 14, at Martin Luther King Jr Park at Manhattan Square, 353 Court Street. 6:30 p.m. $5.

Art Hine’s sight in the 21st century “Lewis Hine” THROUGH SEPTEMBER 7 GEORGE EASTMAN HOUSE, 900 EAST AVENUE TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY: 10 A.M. TO 5 P.M.; SUNDAY: 11 A.M. TO 5 P.M. | $5-$14 271-3361, EASTMANHOUSE.ORG [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
Twentieth-century photographer Lewis Hine focused largely on labor, with two equally important aims: envisioning and advocating for social change, and celebrating the progress humankind makes when individuals work well together. Recently returned from a threeyear, international tour, and currently on view at George Eastman House, is an exhibit of Hine’s photographic prints and materials drawn from the Eastman House’s own extensive collection. The show reveals Hine’s important legacy as a careful and compassionate observer, and provides a poignant reminder that abuse of power revels in the absence of observation and advocacy. It would be easy to view this show with a sense of satisfied finality about horrific labor conditions and human rights violations, but as described by Renán Salgado, Human Trafficking Specialist with the Worker Justice Center of New York, our work is far from finished. Salgado toured the exhibition with CITY, commenting on parallels between Hine’s work and some of today’s labor issues taking place right in our backyard. The web version of this article at rochestercitynewspaper.com includes excerpts from the discussion with Salgado. The exhibition is split into sections marked by gray stripes and informational texts, each including images Hine created for specific organizations or toward specific projects, and the show moves in a fairly chronological order with some overlap. Also on view are posters and progressive journals of Hine’s day, with stories and studies about child labor, workplace conditions and safety, and injuries, all anchored and driven home by Hine’s images. Hine didn’t originally set out to make photographs as a tool to illustrate the socioeconomic issues of the day. He 22 CITY AUGUST 13-19, 2014
grew up in Wisconsin and studied to be a teacher, eventually working with a man named Frank Manny, who brought Hine along when he moved to New York City to lead the progressive Ethical Culture School. There, Hine taught Earth Science and began taking images of school activities under Manny’s suggestion. Having become involved in progressive movements, some of which encouraged people to accept “Powerhouse Mechanic” (left) and “Italian Madonna” (right) are two of the Lewis Hine photographs featured in the current immigrants without exhibit at George Eastman House.

SPECIAL EVENT | LOCKAPALOOZA
Whitewater paddling is an experience generally reserved for natural rivers and waterways. But just off of the Erie Canal’s Lock 32, Genesee Waterways Center has turned the lock’s runoff into New York’s only man-made whitewater course. To celebrate the location, the GWC will host Lockapalooza, an annual event that offers a day full of paddling. Experienced kayakers can compete in slalom races, boatercross — a race that the GWC describes as “a mass start mad dash to the finish” — and whitewater rodeo, a competition in which paddlers attempt to flash their best freestyle playboating tricks. Flatwater paddling is also available for newer participants who want to experience a more laidback form of kayaking. Food and drinks will be available for purchase. Lockapalooza takes place Saturday, August 16, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the Genesee Waterways Lock 32 Whitewater Course, 2797 Clover Street. Competitions are scheduled throughout the day, culminating in an awards ceremony at 3:30 p.m. Tickets cost $25.

THEATER | A MID-SUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM DINNER IN THE WOODS
William Shakespeare’s seminal 16th century comedy, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” follows a group of lovers and actors as their lives are toyed with by fairies and sprites. Albeit plenty fantastical on its own, Penfield Recreation is channeling the play’s whimsy with A Mid-Summer Night’s Dream Dinner in the Woods. A fundraiser benefiting the Penfield Recreation’s Daytime Education at Recreation program, A Mid-Summer Night’s Dream Dinner in the Woods registrants will receive a map leading them to a secret location where they’ll be greeted with a local, organic feast deep in the forest. The evening also includes live music, fairy trail scavenger hunts, and a 15-minute abridged performance of the play that inspired the whole event. A Mid-Summer Night’s Dream Dinner in the Woods will take place Wednesday, August 13, 6 p.m., at a secret location. Tickets are $40, and a limited number are available. For more information call 340-8655, or go online at penfieldrec.org. — BY ALEXANDER JONES

SPORTS | HANGOVER HOCKEY
One of the reasons street hockey has endured as such an enjoyable sport is its pick-up-and-play, laissez-faire attitude toward what is traditionally a highly competitive game. Hangover Hockey’s 21 and older, 3-on-3 street hockey tournament, which successfully capitalizes on street hockey’s all-in-good-fun spirit, is poised to be one of the season’s biggest sports draws. Teams can either sign up for the Competitive Division and take a shot at winning some championship prizes, or simply play under the Recreational/Co-Ed division if simply having fun is more of a priority. The Hangover Hockey Street Hockey Tournament will take place Saturday, August 16, 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., at the Bill Gray’s Regional Iceplex (2700 Brighton Henrietta Townline Road). Registration is $125 per team, admission is free. For more information, visit hangoverhockey.net. — BY ALEXANDER JONES Aug 17 at 2 p. m.

MILEAGE MASTER THEATER | “KILL SHAKESPEARE”
“Kill Shakespeare” pits Shakespearean good guys (and a gal) — Hamlet, Juliet, Othello, Falstaff, Romeo, and Puck — against a formidable trio of Shakespearean bad guys — Richard III, Lady Macbeth, and Iago — in the search for a reclusive wizard named William Shakespeare. The original 2010 graphic novel has been adapted into a stage show that is popular at comic conventions across the country, and now reaches The Little as performed by Dream/Visualize/Create, a group of students and graduates from Wilson Magnet High known for its challenging and imaginative shows. DVC will be joined by some experienced Rochester Shakespeareans, and the evening includes a talkback with co-creator Conor McCreery himself.

The film included some most unusual matters for him, including a glimpse of working-class life, a (PG-13), WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY downbeat ending, and a terrifically well written WOODY ALLEN part for Cate Blanchett, who earned an Academy OPENS FRIDAY AT THE LITTLE Award for her performance. In “Magic in the Moonlight,” Allen resumes his recent interest in European settings and [ REVIEW ] BY GEORGE GRELLA characters. In the last few years, for example, he has located his movies in London (“Match The experience of watching Woody Allen’s annual Point”), Spain (“Vicky Cristina Barcelona”), Paris movie, “Magic in the Moonlight,” suggests that (“Midnight in Paris”), and Rome (“To Rome last year’s “Blue Jasmine” represents something With Love”). Except for brief scenes in Berlin of an anomaly in his long, prolific career. In that and London, “Magic in the Moonlight” places picture he abandoned a number of his perennial its action in the south of France in the summer subjects — the upper West Side ambiance, of 1928, allowing the director to exploit the the preoccupation with sexual inadequacy, the beauty of the countryside, some magnificent tendency to rely on gags when invention fails, and dwellings, and the special context of its time. the fondness for silly fantasy and tepid whimsy. The plot depends on a relatively familiar idea, the attempt to unmask a medium as a fraud. A successful professional illusionist, Stanley (Colin Firth), who performs in Oriental costume under the name of Wei Ling Soo, travels to France at the request of his Colin Firth and Emma Stone in “Magic in the Moonlight.” PHOTO COURTESY SONY friend and fellow PICTURES CLASSICS

magician Howard Burkan (Simon McBurney) to debunk the claims of a young American woman, Sophie Baker (Emma Stone), to read people’s thoughts and communicate with the dead. She conducts séances at the home of a widow (Jacki Weaver), who wishes to speak to her husband and intends to endow a foundation for Sophie’s psychic research. The film follows an entirely predictable pattern, with the illusionist aggressively attacking Sophie’s work, deriding her claims to special powers, and incessantly asserting a view of the universe based on logic, reason, and empiricism, while she suggests that another realm exists beyond the material world. She confounds him, however, by revealing an intimate knowledge of his life and background and demonstrating some apparently supernatural powers in a séance. Overwhelmed, he even calls a press conference to announce his change of mind and his new acceptance of her abilities. That renunciation of his previous views leads to further problems and difficulties, many of them discussed in a number of tedious, talky interchanges between Stanley and his Aunt Vanessa (Eileen Atkins), who conveniently also lives in the area. Much of the film in fact consists of long conversations between Stanley and Vanessa and Stanley and Sophie, most of them preachy and repetitive. Almost nothing in “Magic in the Moonlight” displays more than a modicum of originality or imagination. Colin Firth
Glory days “Boyhood” (R), DIRECTED BY RICHARD LINKLATER OPENS FRIDAY [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
dominates the movie, but his incessant pompous boasting and aggressively insulting manner make Stanley a most unsympathetic character; his one-note performance ultimately becomes tiresome and even embarrassing. The vague, wispy, waiflike Emma Stone looks to be about 16 years old, which makes her a most unconvincing psychic and a quite unlikely match for the large, 50ish Stanley. Her blandness and his loud assertiveness never create a plausible emotional connection; together they hardly generate enough chemistry to fill a test tube. The only engaging elements in the movie derive from its time and place. The gorgeous scenery of Provence, the elegant automobiles, the clothing, and the terrific popular music from the great composers of the 1920’s, especially Cole Porter, endow the somnolent nonsense of “Magic in the Moonlight” with some color and vivacity. Its thin plot demands a number of artificial embellishments to support even its extremely flimsy content. Although Woody Allen’s devoted fans, for whom his every gesture constitutes an act of brilliance, may enjoy “Magic in the Moonlight,” I doubt if many other viewers will find the work satisfying. Its initial premise never develops beyond a sort of perfunctory sketch full of awkward exposition, and with the exception of Stanley’s friend and fellow magician, Howard, none of the characters commands any interest. Even so successful and accomplished an actor as Colin Firth can’t save this trivial, self-indulgent little flick.
The process behind the creation of “Boyhood,” the remarkable new film from director Richard Linklater, is nearly as extraordinary as the film itself. Assembling his cast for a few days at a time, the film’s shoot lasted for a total of 45 days, but those days were spread out over the course of 12 years — from 2002 through 2013. Linklater’s method lends authenticity to his sprawling coming-ofage tale, allowing the actors to age in real time as the story progresses. The film chronicles the childhood and adolescence of Mason Jr. (Ellar Coltrane). A child of divorce, Mason lives with his mother, Olivia (a fantastic Patricia Arquette), and older sister, Samantha (played by the director’s own daughter, Lorelei Linklater, in a scene-stealing performance). Though the children live with their mother, they split their time with visits from their free-spirited, ne’er-do-well father, Mason Sr. (Ethan Hawke). We follow Mason from the age of 6 to 18, ending as the boy — by then a young man — heads off to college.

Similarly ambitious filmmaking experiments have been attempted before; Michael Apted’s “Up” series of documentaries has followed the same group of British school children since they were 7 years old, the Harry Potter films allowed audiences to see its characters grow from school children into adulthood, and long-running television shows allow us to grow with the characters we tune in to see each week. Linklater himself has documented the course of one romantic relationship by revisiting the couple every 9 years, in his wonderful “Before” trilogy. But what differentiates “Boyhood” from those other endeavors is the way it condenses an entire childhood into a single narrative, to profoundly moving effect. Linkler uses jump cuts to propel us forward, a year at a time. The method is simultaneously jarring and seamless; it’s not until a few moments into a new scene that we notice the actors are now slightly older. By progressing this way, the director manages to duplicate the inexorable forward march of time and the way we tend not to notice until suddenly we do. At times we’re left to fill in the gaps; occasionally characters have disappeared, or the family is now living in a different house. People float in and out of the character’s lives — sometimes with much heartache and sometimes with a sad indifference. Along the way, we’re allowed to track the progress of time through changing technology, pop culture, and the music that makes up the soundtrack to Mason’s life. Working with two cinematographers, Lee Daniel and Shane F. Kelly, along with editor Sandra Adair, Linklater assembles the mundane, unremarkable moments that add up to the entire breadth of a childhood. Linklater isn’t interested in the “big” moments; after all, life is really made up of the things that happen in between. It’s telling that when Olivia breaks down just prior to Mason leaving
home toward the film’s end, she rattles off a series of milestones from Mason’s life, all of which occurred off-screen. Even this life that appears to have been so thoroughly documented refuses to be contained within the confines of the film. Only once does “Boyhood” veer toward melodrama, when Olivia remarries and her new husband gradually reveals himself to be an abusive alcoholic. This section is so packed with incident that it seems incongruous from everything else that comes before or after, though I suppose that’s also the pattern life works in. Still, in a movie filled with complicated characters, the stepfather’s one-note nature seems lazy. He’s only one of a string of father figures (or, as Mason later describes them, an “endless parade of drunken assholes”) that parade through Mason’s life. Through them, the film seems to offer a critique on the very idea of manhood and masculinity. It was a huge gamble to craft a film (especially one as ambitious as this) around a 6-year-old actor. Linklater had no idea what kind of person the boy would turn out to be, or if the kid would even want to continue with the project over the course of 12 years. The director seems to have lucked out with Coltrane. The actor is effective in the role, often quite good, but it’s difficult to gauge how much of Mason Jr. is him and how much is performance. There’s a cumulative power to the film; by the time Mason is driving off toward college and adulthood, I felt a wave of emotion wash over me. Over the course of the film’s just under three-hour run time, we become invested in what happens to these characters. We’ve watched Mason — and his entire family, really — grow up. By the time the credits roll they don’t feel like characters, but real people we’ve come to know. With “Boyhood,” Richard Linklater attempts to capture the meaning of it all. He’s crafted a warm, deeply humane film that’s both as intimate and monumental as life itself.

anyone. The orchestra and I get to be, essentially, the pioneers, the first ones to realize a new work.
Concert” or “Video Games Live” or that there are two less subscription concerts, that the RPO is reducing what they offering. Have you encountered that?
Is there any discussion about shrinking the number of subscription performances? Are the talks about: rather than doing a subscription concert, going into a new location or trying a new program?
Well, people have asked, and I think we need to reinforce the message: no, we’re not dumbing down our season, we’re branching out; we’re enhancing it. We’re looking for new ways to reach our public, because ultimately music is about communication and I want to reach out and communicate with as many people on a direct level as we possibly can in Rochester. We have this amazing orchestra and I want people to hear it.
We’ve had all of those discussions, and we’ve already reduced our subscription numbers by two, which doesn’t eliminate the concerts, but it frees us up so we can consider other venues and other concert formats — which I think is very exciting as well. There are a lot of things we forget about in a classical concert hall that’s taken for granted at other venues, like being able to enjoy a drink during a concert — it doesn’t even have to be an alcoholic drink, even at the movies you can have a soda and a snack. That’s how people are used to being entertained. But that’s forbidden in the concert hall. And there’s a reason for that, I understand both sides, but it would be interesting to explore venues where people can sit at tables and even have a meal and have a glass of wine and enjoy the concert in a more relaxed casual atmosphere that’s more familiar to them. The idea, though, isn’t to reduce the number of performances, it’s about the delivery system.
We can still do a Haydn symphony in the round with audience around us at tables enjoying win, in fact that might heighten their experience. We’re going to still rehearse it four times and bring them a very high quality product. Do you think there might be some misunderstanding in Rochester that because the RPO performs “Pixar in

Being 31, are you aware of your youth? Knowing that you are young, but the music director for this large organization. Does that stay in the back of your mind?
It’s not something I think about much at all. I’ve always just focused on the music. I was 18 when I was appointed principal trombonist for Lyric Opera Chicago, and that gave a lot of people pause. I remember a lot of people making comments at the time, but I never really thought about it. I was too consumed with the music making and what were my responsibilities in a leadership position. I feel the same way here. Although, when I do consider my age, I consider it an advantage because I do have an appreciation for how people in my generation understand technology. I was right on the cusp, I didn’t have a cell phone in high school; some of my friends did, but I didn’t. I know what it’s like to be in both situations. I understand and appreciate the evolution of how people consume media. I think that gives me a unique perspective to integrate classical music into that.

K-D Moving & Storage Inc.
Daring and Dramatic by Don 277 Dunrovin Lane, Brighton During the mid-20th century many cities, Rochester included, saw unprecedented growth spurred by the post war economy. Many of the homes built during this era were modest ranch houses that fit within the broader term of “Mid-Century Modern.” The definition of residential design had dramatically shifted and few local architects knew this better than Don Hershey. Mr. Hershey pioneered modern design with his own personal home built in 1939 and, as interest in modern design increased, so did Hershey’s reputation. He ultimately became one of the most prolific and revered residential architects in Rochester.

CALL 244-3329 X23 OR EMAIL CHRISTINE@ROCHESTER-CITYNEWS.COM ROCHESTER: 185 RODESSA RD, $104,900. Super - Clean Cape Cod! Many updates!!! 1st floor living, large eat-in kitchen and the LARGEST living room. For more info; www.rochestersells.com or 585-218-2802. Ryan Smith - Re/Max Realty Group
From the outside, this split level home with its vertical wood siding, ribbon windows, and bright red geometric entry doors hints that it is far more than your average ranch house. Entering into the tiled entry, the beamed wood cathedral ceiling and dramatic modern oak open staircase immediately draw your eyes up. Proceeding to the living room one step down, you are surrounded by a series of walls—one a wall of glass to the backyard and rear porch; one dominated by a stacked slate hearth wall; and one an abstract composition of a wood column, clerestory ribbon window, and double height opening to the dining room. Stepping up to the dining room space, which is open to the living room, you are greeted by an original built-in sideboard and dining room table, both designed by Hershey in teak, and the original chandelier. Passing through to the kitchen, the original teak cabinetry with
its stainless steel pulls and retro appliances provides plentiful counters and space for conversation. A laundry room with more builtin teak cabinetry completes the main floor. Proceeding up the open stair there are three bedrooms, each with plentiful natural light and their own built-in linen and closet. The common bathroom has been tastefully upgraded while keeping the original striking blue tub and toilet. The master bedroom is spacious and impresses with its original built-in teak bed and side tables along with built-in vanity, all designed by Hershey. A wrap-around walkin closet and a stunning original pink tiled bathroom complete the suite. The lower level provides access to the large two car garage and spacious office with a wall of windows, and one of the many still intact home intercoms. Lower still, the full height basement provides ample storage and utility space. This very mid-century modern, 2433 square foot home is a rare opportunity to own one of the best examples of Don Hershey’s work, a home that has been minimally altered from its original design and yet still feels cutting edge. Make it yours for $259,900. For more information contact realtor Susan Aser at (585) 738-7087 or visit www.277dunrovin.com. by Christopher Brandt Christopher is a long-time Landmark Society volunteer and historic researcher for hire.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD
Perspective
Jeff Mizanskey, 61, is a poster child for one well-known criticism of mandatory-minimum sentencing laws — that nonviolent marijuana users (and small-time sellers) may wind up doing decades of hard time and in fact more time than some sociopathic offenders serve for heinous offenses. Mizanskey is 20 years into a life sentence with no possibility of parole for several violations of Missouri’s “prior and persistent drug offender” law, and his only chance for freedom is a clemency plea now under consideration by Gov. Jay Nixon (and still opposed by Mizanskey’s prosecutor).
Weird Old World
— Unconventional Food Prep: Leaked photographs taken by an undercover health and safety officer at China’s Tongcheng Rice Noodle Factory in Dongguan city in June show workers in street clothes casually walking back and forth atop piles of vermicelli noodles about to be packaged for shipment to stores. Some workers were even seen lounging or sleeping on the mountains of noodles. (In 1992, News of the Weird noted that health officials in South Dennis, Massachusetts, had closed the Wing Wah Chinese restaurant for various violations, including the restaurant’s habit of draining water from cabbage by putting it in cloth laundry bags, placing the bags between pieces of plywood in the parking lot and driving over them with a van.) — Unclear on the Concept: Werner Purkhart, who has been running a “silent disco” in Salzburg, Austria, for four years, was denied renewal of his business permit in July, supposedly because his parties were too loud. At a silent disco, each dancer wears headphones to hear radio-transmitted music; to those without headphones, the roomful of swaying, swinging dancers is eerily quiet. Salzburg Mayor Heinz Schaden
said it was still too loud. “The noise ... is keeping (the neighbors) up.” — “The Chinese fondness for napping in odd places is a well-documented phenomenon, one that’s spawned a popular website and even a book,” wrote The Wall Street Journal in a July dispatch. In a recent photo essay, a Getty Images photographer captured a series of shots of customers catching 40 winks in various furniture departments of IKEA stores, which officially does “not see it as a problem,” according to a spokesman. Maybe “we can sell an extra mattress or two.” — Five siblings in a rural Turkish family near the Syrian border were discovered by researchers in 2005 to be natural, fluid quadruped walkers (hands and feet to the ground, rear ends up), which was thought at the time possibly to mark the first known “turnaround” in human evolution. However, the siblings were re-characterized by recent PLOS One journal research as merely accommodating a musculo-skeletal imbalance in the brain. Other members of the family have normal gaits, and the five quadrupeds show additional developmental issues. — Also, from the foreign press: (1) Moscow Times reported the arrest of “Tomas” in Moscow in March for allegedly stealing a mobile phone, noting that he was referred to adult court even though family members claim he is only 13. Officials decided he must be at least 16, based on medical examination -- especially “of his genitals.” (2) Turkey’s Hurriyet Daily News reported in May that a 62-year-old man on an Istanbul TV dating show said he was just “an honest person looking for a new wife” -- while also casually mentioning that he had served two prison terms, one for murdering one wife and the other for murdering a girlfriend. “Bad luck always found me,” he said. “This time I’ll leave it to God.”
[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 34 ]
[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your playful, fun, flirtatious side will lead the way. Engaging in activities that are geared toward having fun and expanding your interests will be conducive to meeting someone who grabs your heart and wins your affection. Alter your life to fit the lifestyle changes you want to make. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Refuse to be drawn into a romantic situation that requires you to step outside your comfort zone. Taking a practical approach to love and making sure you don’t jeopardize your finances, health or a legal concern will be required.
Moderation will be necessary in order to avoid a costly mistake. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Having fun may be your intent, but don’t do so at the expense of someone else’s feelings. Flirting will get you into trouble if you aren’t being honest about what you are offering. Plenty of potential partners will show interest -- it’s up to you to make a choice. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Take a walk down a romantic path you have never traveled before. Someone exotic, unique or from a different background will teach you a lot about life, love and new possibilities. Open your heart and your mind to what’s being
offered, and you will be given the chance to try something new. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your romantic options are multiplying. Gravitate toward the partner who can offer you the adventure, stature and standard of living you desire. A change in geographical location will lead to a positive learning experience that includes love and romance. Follow your heart and enjoy every moment. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Take it nice and slow when it comes to love. Get to know whoever interests you well before you make a move that will make you feel emotionally indebted. Becoming good friends first will
give you the assurance that you are with the right person. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Being a participant will lead to meeting new people and finding interesting and worthwhile partners to play with. A change in your status is apparent, so hooking up and moving quickly into a one-on-one relationship looks exciting and promising. Put love and romance first and enjoy. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t be fooled by someone flashing glamorous toys in front of you. Nothing will be as it appears, making it necessary for you to remember that it isn’t what someone has, it’s who they are that counts. Look for signs of sincerity,
genuine affection and loyalty. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be enticed by someone who is just as dynamic as you. Don’t be too quick to show your interest. It’s how you play the game of love that will determine the outcome, and this time around, you’ve probably met your match. Enjoy what this partner has to offer. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Tread carefully when it comes to affairs of the heart. Options will be made available, but if you try too hard, it will work against you. Keep in mind that you cannot buy love and that anyone who expects you to isn’t a good fit for a long-lasting relationship.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Love knocks, so open the door and see who is there. Although someone from your past may still be on your mind, don’t hesitate to try someone new. Both options are likely to be made available to you, and basing your choice on past experience is favored. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Put love on hold this week if you feel it will jeopardize your position or chance to get ahead at work. Whether it’s because you like someone you work with or a new love interest is affecting your productivity, you must put your earning power before your love life.
