Son House shook Nazareth
It’s great to see Son House, the man and his music, celebrated in Rochester, his home for two decades (Music, August 19). And this is not the first such celebration. In 1968, a two-day “Blues Feast: A Tribute to Son House” took place at the recently opened Nazareth Arts Center. It was produced by me and fellow St. John Fisher College students. Friends and I met Son and his wife at their apartment, persuaded him that the honor was for real, and, thanks to Dick Waterman, Son agreed to participate. The event featured Son, the Paul Butterfield Blues Band (with David Sanborn in its horn section), Muddy Waters Blues Band, Junior Wells Blues Band, the Electric Flag with Mike Bloomfield and Buddy Miles, as well as Rochester’s own Jerry Porter Blues Band. The arts center rocked. Son beamed.
SEPTEMBER 2-8, 2015
We need to expand recreation services with more library and recreation hours. We also need to have more jobs, even if the government has to become the employer of last resort with something resembling the jobs corps of FDR. Finally, we need conflictresolution training in all of our schools, with all people in government who regularly interact with young people also trained in conflict resolution techniques. Most importantly, we need to fund this program and keep with it long enough to see results. This may sound difficult in these tough financial times, but our city gives away millions in tax breaks every year to large properties, downtown housing, and projects. It seems to me that spending some of this to save lives would be a far better use of this money.

Ban all bombs
Absolutely, Iran should not have nuclear weapons. After all, it borders on Pakistan and is not too far from India and Russia, all of which have nuclear weapons, and from Israel, which of course, does not have nuclear weapons. China, North Korea, England, and the US also have atomic bombs, and some of us even have hydrogen bombs. So if no nukes for Iran, why not no nukes for all the others? Are WE ready to disarm?

Save library’s Sunday hours
We must reduce violence
I am a library and book addict. I have been stewing all summer over your article indicating that the downtown Rochester Public Library, the only city branch to have Sunday hours, must eliminate those hours (News, June 12). What about youth who use this library as a stepping stone to reading excellence and lifetime opportunities? What about parents and others who can only go, or take their children, on Sundays? I have strong feelings about this because reading has been one of my biggest sources of joy. My mother walked my sister and me to our local library weekly to borrow books. Books improve my life. 2 CITY
I want all people desiring time with books and libraries, regardless of their economic status, to be able to satisfy that desire. Reading is essential to becoming and serving as a contributing member of a democratic society. So, do we close the library to save money, or find other alternatives to balance the budget? While people, organizations, and businesses can chip in the $100,000-plus needed for Sunday hours October through May, this is not the long-term answer. The durable solution is to: (1) Recognize the importance of this service; (2) Send letters to County Executive Maggie Brooks and county legislators about this priority (the Central Library budget is handled by the county); (3) Elect a county executive and legislators who understand this issue.
The recent rash of shootings in our city is a tragedy. Our leaders pledge to do everything in their power to catch and prosecute the wrongdoers. While this is important, I wish we would do everything in our power to reduce the violence. While reducing violence may be harder than catching criminals, I would like to propose a few ideas. To start, we need to get all organizations, programs, and activities which serve youth to work together. We need to have much more street outreach to help direct young people to the health, recreation, education, and vocational services they need.

Warren could’ve waited
In a recent editorial about the poor state of the local Democrats (Urban Journal, July 22), Mary Anna Towler seemed to blame former Mayor Tom Richards and his supporters for the current problems in the party. This is in reference to the 2013 mayoral election, of course, during which Lovely Warren defeated Richards in the primary. She went on to win, but Richards’ supporters continued the competition. My feeling is that Warren did not have to run against an incumbent of her own party who seemed to have wide support. She never really explained her rationale to the voters. Primaries are well-known for their very low turnout and yes, her win was a big surprise to most people. However, why would her campaign expect to have the Richards supporters quickly turn around and embrace her? If it was fair and democratic for her to run against him, then why should he have just bowed out when he had the endorsement of another party? Her youth and lack of experience have been evident in several missteps. She could have waited. JOEL ARCHER

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
‘Not my problem’: reactions to the shootings
Well, this is what we’re facing. My question last week, after the August 19 shootings on Genesee Street, was whether that horror would move this community, at last, to do what we need to do. Whether now we would be able to summon the will – and community leaders would help us summon the will – to get at the roots of our violence problem. As I said last week, dealing with the roots of violence won’t be easy. And it sure won’t be politically popular, because many people in Greater Rochester are still convinced that the poverty in the inner city is solely self-inflicted. I’m not surprised by the negative remarks the article drew. But I’m disheartened. Here’s a sample: “The problem isn’t the concentration of poverty in the inner city, it’s the concentration of stupidity in the inner city…. dropping out of school, getting pregnant before getting married, failing to hold down a job, deciding to defy order and laws instead of obeying both.” “Poverty isn’t the issue. We all know what the issue is, but white people can’t say what the issue is, because we get labeled ‘racist’ when we do.” “I can’t believe I read this whole article just to read for the umpteenth time that it is the suburbanites’ fault.” “The only way out of poverty and all the problems that come along with it is to take responsibility yourself.” “The ‘bad’ neighborhoods were good before, but houses get rented and most renters trash them. Outside they drop trash and don’t pick it up, don’t mow lawns, don’t pull weeds, don’t plant flowers, don’t clip bushes, fight in the streets, allow drugs to be dealt and don’t do anything about it, and play music that glorifies violence, abuse, misogyny, drug dealing, and more.” “Poverty does not cause this or we never would have made it out of the Great Depression.” “It’s SIN, plain and simple.” One reader quoted the Rev. Lewis Stewart, a longtime black community activist, who since the shooting has said there’s “a morality problem in our community among young blacks.” Stewart is right, of course. So is the Genesee Street neighborhood resident who interrupted a press conference by Mayor Lovely Warren to say the same thing. I don’t know anybody who condones the violence, drug sales, and destruction that plague inner-city neighborhoods. Certainly the many non-violent, law-abiding residents of those neighborhoods – who do indeed mow their lawns and plant flowers – don’t condone any of that.
Yes, there’s a ‘morality problem.’ But why are so many people in a few neighborhoods involved in violence and other illegal activity?”
And lord knows, nobody condones the driveby shooting on Genesee Street. Nobody I know thinks the person firing that gun didn’t have other choices, or that he was helpless because he was poor. But at some point, we need to ask why so many people in a few neighborhoods are involved in violence and other illegal activity. This, as Harvard’s William Julius Wilson, Cornel West, and others have said, is a problem of culture – of some poor people. And generations of concentrated poverty bred the culture. Among the most discouraging comments posted on our website was one bemoaning articles of people like me “that mislead the public by their clueless, myopic opinion that poverty or concentrated poverty is the cause of all this violence. They can back it up with data and studies from ‘Ivory Tower’ professors who have not experienced what really goes on in the urban environment.” So I guess we should dismiss decades of research by prominent scholars (who actually have deep experience in the urban environment), the same way we dismiss studies pointing to climate change. And then what’s left? Shaking our fists at the behavior of “those people.” Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Or community leaders – white and nonwhite, government and business, clergy and neighborhood – can read the research, come to grips with the root of the problem, and lead us forward.

Seymour Library officials are trying to make budgeting less of a headache. The library (pictured) is in Brockport. PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLIN
GOVERNMENT | BY JEREMY MOULE
Back to the books Officials with Seymour Library in Brockport had a plan to simplify what they say has become a burdensome budgeting process. But with a few flicks of his wrist, Governor Andrew Cuomo put a halt to it. Library officials wanted to establish a special district, which would have allowed them to collect taxes from residents of Brockport, Sweden, and Clarkson; the communities share responsibility for funding the library under a 1990 agreement. The State Assembly and Senate passed legislation earlier this year that cleared the way for the district. But Cuomo, a vocal supporter of municipal consolidation, vetoed
the bill earlier this month, as well as similar legislation for a library district in Dutchess County. “I remain concerned that these bills would establish yet another level of local government,” Cuomo wrote in his veto memo. “At a time when taxpayers continue to be overwhelmed with property taxes, these bills have the potential to add to this onerous burden and add further to the plethora of levels of local government.” Currently, Seymour Library officials approach each town annually with their funding request, says Library Director Carl Gouveia, and it takes a few rounds to solidify what each will contribute. And the process usually ends with the
towns contributing less than what the library requests, he says. Library officials have taken a step to simplify this year’s budget process. Last week, the library board’s financial committee met with representatives of the Brockport, Clarkson, and Sweden governments to present proposed contributions for each community. The library’s requesting a total overall increase of less than 1 percent from the towns. Library officials have also proposed revisiting the 1990 agreement to see if it can be improved, Gouveia says, and the local governments are open to the idea. But he says he doesn’t know where those talks will lead.

Downtown Rochester is experiencing a housing boom, but retail has been slow to follow; residents often complain that there’s no quick or easy way to obtain basic goods and services. To start to change that, two “Shark Tank” type contests will award a year of rent-free retail space downtown. DEVELOPMENT | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO AND CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN
Kick-starting downtown retail Two separate-but-similar competitions are pitting entrepreneurs against each other with the goal of bringing retail to downtown Rochester. The reward in both cases is one year of rent-free space downtown. Downtown Rochester is experiencing a housing boom, but retail has been slow to follow; residents often complain that there’s no quick or easy way to obtain basic goods and services. Both competitions draw inspiration from the TV reality show “Shark Tank,” where entrepreneurs pitch their business ideas to a panel of investors. The winner of “Retailent Rochester” — the name is a portmanteau of “retail” and “talent” — will fill a storefront on St. Paul Street in downtown’s St. Paul Quarter in one of three buildings owned by Hive Properties. The size and location of the space will be determined by the type of business that wins the competition. A bakery, for example, would require different space than a microbrewery. Applications for Retailent Rochester are being accepted now, and the deadline is September 30. There is no entry fee. The top 10 ideas will be invited to a pitch night and given 10 minutes to present their concepts.
The top three will go before a panel of judges on December 1, and the winner will be announced on December 15. In addition to the free rent, the winner will get a package of professional services and help raising money to kickstart the business. If the competition is successful, organizers may provide assistance to some of the other finalists to help them get their businesses off the ground, says Noah Morgenstern, managing developer at Hive Properties. The competition is a collaboration between Hive Properties, Rochester Local Capital, Steinmetz Planning Group, and Rochester Young Professionals. More information: retailentrochester.wix.com/info The winner of the second competition, “Race for the Space,” will get 5,000-square-feet of custom-designed retail space at 127 East Avenue, says Gayle Jagel, founder and CEO of the Young Entrepreneurs Academy. The other contest partners are DHD Ventures, Buckingham Properties, St. John Fisher College, the City of Rochester, Monroe County, Rochester Downtown Development Corporation, and the Max and Marian Farash Charitable Foundation. There is a $495 entry fee, Jagel says, because contest organizers want entrepreneurs

to understand that this is not a handout. Though the first year is rent-free, the winner must sign at least a two-year lease, according to contest rules. Interested people must apply online at www.raceforthespace.org before midnight on Monday, September 14. The applications will be reviewed and the entrepreneurs will work with industry experts to hone their pitches before appearing before a panel of judges in early October. The winning business will be revealed at an opening celebration on Black Friday, Sunday, November 28. A second Race for the Space is in the planning stages. Organizers say that Buckingham Properties will donate three additional retail spaces next year. Jagel says that she knew about Retailent Rochester, but that the contests shouldn’t get in each other’s way. The more efforts under way to invigorate retail downtown, she says, the better.
Gas drop Gas production from domestic shale formations is expected to decline this month, says a new report from the US Energy Information Administration. The drop would come just a few months after gas output peaked in May. The explanation for the decline is fairly straightforward: production from older wells has declined, and the new wells aren’t producing as much as the older ones once did. “In each region, production from new wells is not large enough to offset production declines from existing, legacy wells,” the EIA analysis says. We aren’t talking about a massive decline, though. Shale wells produced 45.6 billion cubic feet of gas per day in May, and are expected to produce about 44.9 billion cubic feet per day in September, the EIA says. But if the trend bears out, it’ll be the first time that shale gas production has dropped since the 2011 start of the domestic gas and oil boom, according to Yale Environment 360. The shift may not be a major one, but it is an early reminder that the domestic shale gas boom won’t last forever. The wells have a shorter life than conventional wells and drilling companies need to constantly bore new wells to keep up the volume of gas production.

2015 PRIMARY ELECTIONS - SEPTEMBER 10
PRIMARY WARFARE ELECTIONS | BY JEREMY MOULE, TIM LOUIS MACALUSO, AND CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN
Democratic discord is playing a role in this year’s primary elections
M
onroe County Democrats are a soft target for the media and local political junkies, mainly because they just make it so easy. The discord — essentially a power struggle between warring factions of the party — appears to be manifesting in some of this year’s primary election contests, particularly in the Monroe County Legislature races. The primary election is on Thursday, September 10; the general election is on Tuesday, November 3. Republicans are generally averse to primaries, preferring to keep their drama behind closed doors. But there are a couple of GOP races this year. In the County Legislature’s 6th District, which covers a portion of the Town of Greece, incumbent Fred Ancello, the party’s endorsed candidate, is being challenged by Edward Gartz, who has been a critic of the county’s golf-course operations. And there’s a Republican primary for Henrietta supervisor: incumbent Jack Moore is running again, despite
6 CITY
SEPTEMBER 2-8, 2015
being recorded making racially insensitive remarks, and despite the subsequent calls — including some from local GOP leaders — for his resignation. Moore is being challenged by William Wu, a former Democrat who switched parties. But the most action is in the city, in the Democratic Party. And since Democrats dominate city politics, for all intents and purposes the Democratic primary is the “real” election for City Council, city school board, and most city-district seats in the County Legislature. All four district seats are up on City Council, and all but one incumbent is seeking re-election. The Democratic Party’s internal drama has a role in the City Council race if you believe reports that the faction led by Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren and State Assembly member David Gantt went all out to recruit a challenger to Molly Clifford, who is running for the Northwest District
seat. The challenger is LaShana Boose, who, according to her LinkedIn profile, is an adjunct faculty member at Monroe Community College. Clifford is a longtime player in Democratic politics and helped run an insurgent campaign to re-elect thenmayor Tom Richards after Warren won the 2013 Democratic mayoral primary. The lack of unified support for Warren following that primary has exacerbated internal rifts in the party. The conflicts may also be resonating in the county elections — the primary and the general. All 29 seats are up in the County Legislature this year, and there are Democratic primaries in four city districts. Some Dems say that Warren and Gantt are trying to influence the Lej primaries so that they maintain some control over the Legislature’s Democratic caucus. And Warren — the local party’s highest-profile elected official — has done little to help Sandra Frankel, the Democratic county executive
candidate, get elected. She told WROC-TV 8 that she didn’t know whether she would endorse anyone, Frankel or the Republican candidate, Cheryl Dinolfo. “I have not thought about that race,” she said. “I’ve been thinking about running the City of Rochester and committing to the citizens of Rochester.” Four seats are up this year on the Rochester school board, with eight people running, three of them incumbents. Unlike the City Council district races, these are not head-tohead contests; the winners will be the four top vote-getters. The Dems’ drama doesn’t seem to be a factor in the school board races, but the school district has issues of its own. Superintendent Bolgen Vargas and some board members have been feuding over Vargas’s management style and whether the board is trying to usurp his power. And since his contract expires next June, the board will soon have to decide whether to renew that contract.
COUNTY LEGISLATURE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES
R
epublicans have controlled the County Legislature, and county government as a whole, since the 1990’s. And in the Lej, Republicans currently have an 18 to 11 majority. Democrats want to take the majority in the chamber, but that’s a steep climb. They’ll likely remain in the minority after the general election in November, which means they’ll be less likely to get bills passed and will primarily serve as a check on the GOP. The candidates in the Democratic Lej primaries don’t differ on issues so much as on background, perspective, and approach to the job. All of the candidates we’ve interviewed say that they worry about the county’s precarious budget, and that they want more oversight of local development corporations, the quasi-governmental entities formed by the county to handle specific tasks. They also want more county funding for daycare subsidies. County Executive Maggie Brooks cut the county’s contribution to the program in her 2015 budget, which was approved by the Legislature’s Republican majority. (No Democrats voted in favor.) Here are profiles from the four city districts.
23RD LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT This district covers southeast Rochester and northeast Brighton, and the seat is “open”: incumbent Paul Haney has to retire because of term limits. The City of Rochester’s Buildings and Parks Director Mitch Rowe is challenging the party’s endorsed candidate, former Rochester Police Chief James Sheppard. Rowe says that spending 33 years working in government has given him substantial experience with county budgets and economic development. That’s important, he says, because the County Legislature is losing its top leaders due to term limits – including Haney, the Democrats’ budget watchdog. Rowe notes that as Seneca County manager, a position he held for two years, he developed government budgets. And in prior jobs there, in the Town of Irondequoit, and in the City of Rochester, he has handled planning and economic development issues. “If the seat that my opponent and I were running for was county sheriff, he’s the clear choice,” Rowe says. “But I think the seat being the County Legislature, I’m the clear choice.” But Sheppard says that policing is essentially a people business, and that he brings a lot of relevant experience.
29TH LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT This race, for a seat that serves neighborhoods in northeast and northwest Rochester, is a rematch of sorts. Incumbent Ernest Flagler, a city firefighter who has the Democratic Party’s endorsement, faces challenger Leslie Rivera, who had worked as a city school district teacher but was recently appointed vice principal of special programs at East High School. Rivera was appointed to the Legislature seat in January 2014, but Flagler beat
21ST LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT This district serves parts of northeast Rochester. Mark Muoio, the party’s endorsed candidate, has worked as an attorney for the Legal Aid Society of Rochester for the past six years. He handles housing matters in the city’s LandlordTenant court, where he represents people dealing with foreclosures, bankruptcy issues, and evictions. “My experience representing people at Legal Aid drew
28TH LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT Cynthia Kaleh has represented this district – which
covers the lower neighborhoods of northwest Rochester – for the past eight years. And if she’s re-elected she’ll be the senior Democrat in the chamber. She faces a challenge from Ricky Frazier, who works as volunteer coordinator in the city school district. Kaleh is emphasizing that experience, which includes debating contentious issues like the county budget and working to find common ground with Republican legislators.

As Rochester police chief, Sheppard often cautioned that cuts to programs that support children and working families would have serious social and budgetary costs down the road. “We can cut those funds now and save nickels and dimes,” he says. “But then we end up spending billions down the road.” Sheppard spent a lot of time on youth outreach efforts as chief. He continued those efforts after retirement, first working at the Center for Youth and, currently, as vice president of youth development at Dale Carnegie Rochester. The Legislature, Sheppard says, is a good place to advocate for children and families.
her during a special election the following fall. Rivera highlights her work as an educator, her youth — she’s 31 — and her family’s experience both owning a business and relying on public assistance. All of those aspects of her life, she says, would help her be a forceful advocate for the district. And she points out that there’s currently no Latino representation in the County Legislature, even though Rochester has a substantial Latino population.
“Those are different perspectives,” she says, “and so I feel like I can see things through various lenses.” Flagler didn’t respond to requests for interviews, but during his time in the Legislature he’s developed a reputation as someone who will hear out his fellow legislators and who works with the Democratic caucus. He also has a reputation as a hard-working campaigner, and he often turns up at community forums and meetings on issues directly affecting the 29th District.
me to think, Hey, maybe I can bring these experiences and these people’s stories into the policy end of things and maybe prevent a number of people from coming down the line and needing me in court,” he says. For example, he’d like the county to develop a text-message notification system for housing assistance recipients. They would get messages when the county makes rent payments to their landlords, letting them
know how much was paid. Too often, Muoio says, he represents clients who are being evicted because they didn’t know that the county hadn’t paid, or that they still owed some of their rent. He also wants to see the county take a more active role on addressing absentee landlords and housing hazards. City was unable to contact Bobbi Mitchell, who is challenging Muoio.
“We’re going to have a lot of new people in the first place, not that that’s a bad thing,” Kaleh says. “But you don’t want to get rid of everyone that has experience as well.” Kaleh and her husband, Lawrence, own KalTech Support, a computer and IT business. She’s the president of the Maplewood Neighborhood Association and has been active in neighborhood and community groups and initiatives for many years. But Frazier says that as he knocks on doors in the district, many people tell him they don’t know who Kaleh is. (This is one challenge of being a county legislator: in a lot of districts, many people simply can’t name who represents them.)
Accessibility and approachability are a theme for Frazier. As a legislator, he says, he’d want people in the district to see and talk to him at government and community meetings, or at events such as football games. Frazier also says that he’d like county officials to hold town hall meetings so people can voice concerns and learn about job openings, for example. Whether the next county administration would go along with that, especially if Republicans keep control of the executive’s seat, is another issue. “We need to do a better job as county government of saying that we represent the whole County of Monroe, not just the suburbs or the rural areas,” Frazier says.

CITY SCHOOL BOARD CANDIDATES T
he terms of four Rochester school board members expire this year, and eight Democratic candidates are vying for them in the September 10 Democratic Primary. The party has endorsed incumbents Malik Evans and Mary Adams, as well as two non-incumbents, Liz Hallmark and Matthew McDermott.
MARY ADAMS

Mary Adams, who is seeking a second term on the board, currently represents
the school board on the community task force to reduce student suspensions. The mother of Rochester school district students, Adams has pushed for stronger parent and community engagement in city schools. She says that although that kind of collaboration can “slow things down a bit,” there’s a direct link between school-community relationships and student achievement. Adams says she is troubled by what she describes as the tendency to view most city families and students in socially deprived terms. “It’s as if all of our families are defined by pathology – ‘we all need to be saved’ – and we don’t,” she says. “We are actually the solutions.”

HOWARD EAGLE

Howard Eagle, a city school parent and retired Rochester teacher, has made multiple attempts to secure a seat on the school board. Eagle is a well-known education and community activist, and he’s a harsh critic of the school board and district administration. Most recently, he has been calling for the removal of a controversial, racially tinged image of black children on the carousel at Ontario Beach Park. Eagle has long advocated for broad-based community and family engagement with city schools. He stresses focusing on the fundamentals of education – reading, writing, and math – and he is a tireless crusader against institutional racism. He has also been one of the few candidates to speak candidly about the adverse consequences of social promotion in Rochester’s schools. His blunt style over the years has earned him a faithful following; at times, however, it has overshadowed his views.
LIZ HALLMARK

Malik Evans, who served as board
president from 2008 through 2013, is seeking a fourth term on the school board. He says he that he understands how eager the community is to see student achievement improve but that he believes the district is stronger than it’s been in some time. The board and the superintendent have too often been distracted by the many challenges large urban districts face, he says, but more recently they’ve focused on the fundamentals: improved attendance, students reading at grade level by third grade, and increased instruction time. Evans says if he is reelected he will push for a regional high school that draws from both the city and the suburbs, with a cap of 40 percent of its students coming from highpoverty households.

she says she’s learned a lot since her attempt in 2013. Hallmark has been working in city schools as a teaching artist and currently teaches student teachers at Nazareth College, the University of Rochester, and Roberts Wesleyan College. Hallmark says literacy for both children and adults is one of the district’s most pressing issues. She supports Superintendent Bolgen Vargas’s emphasis on reading, but says that she is wary of some school turnaround measures, such as lengthening the school day. “More hours doesn’t automatically equal more learning,” Hallmark says. “I want to know what is really happening.”

Mia Hodgins, who is making her third run for a seat on the school board, is
assistant director of development at Monroe Community College Foundation. She says her biggest concern with the Rochester school district is its chronic instability and the negative impact that on students and families. The constant changes – school closings and reorgs, shuffling principals and teachers from one school to another, and starting and abandoning programs – add more stress to families who are already struggling. She also wants to see more unity between the superintendent and the board. “I truly don’t believe we can elect the same people [to the school board] year after year and expect to see changes in student achievement,” Hodgins says.

Matthew McDermott is a small-business owner and father of three children in city
schools. Though he says he has been working behind the scenes to support the Democratic Party in the 24th District, he’s a relative newcomer to politics. McDermott says he wants to stem the district’s declining enrollment by doing more to inform city families that there are some excellent city schools. He’s critical of the district’s school choice policy, which he says is “too complicated, with a lot of moving parts.” And he would like to see a return to neighborhood schools. “We want to have a school system that appeals to families to stay in the city,” McDermott says.

Willa Powell, a retired Army
Reserves captain, is in the unusual position of being an incumbent who was not endorsed by her party. She is seeking her fifth term, and some critics consider her longevity to be a hindrance. But she has a thorough knowledge of the district, board policy decisions, and administrative changes. A district parent, she has been critical of the Common Core curriculum and she supports the anti-testing movement. Though much of her work on the board has involved financial oversight, Powell has also been a frequent critic of the State Education Department’s reform measures, arguing that if Albany were seriously concerned about failing schools, lawmakers would properly fund them.
Lorenzo Williams has been a long-term substitute teacher in the city school
district. If elected, Williams says he would advocate for stronger vocational skills programs in all city high schools, particularly those related to construction and housing. He wants prekindergarten to be mandatory, and he would advocate for creating a law and government magnet program to encourage more students to develop an early interest in civic engagement and the political process. Williams says cameras in the classroom would help provide greater security and accountability for students and teachers. And he opposes the Common Core curriculum because he says students are losing their capacity for critical thinking and decision-making. rochestercitynewspaper.com

CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATES R
ochester’s city government is grappling with serious long- and short-term urban issues. Some of the most immediate have to do with public safety, such as how the police reorganization is working out and how to implement the pending police body-camera program. The city is also helping pay for a study for a possible new performing arts center downtown, a controversial proposal every time it comes up.
Longer term, downtown development continues to be a priority. And the city is involved in a wide-ranging, state-initiated effort to battle concentrated poverty in Rochester. The seats of four of City Council’s nine members will be on the ballot this year, each representing one quadrant of the city. The five at-large Council members and the mayor will be up for election two years from now. Following are profiles of the district Council candidates in the Democratic primary.

has served on City Council for eight years and is seeking her third term. Her district includes part of downtown and welloff neighborhoods in southeast Rochester as well as the more challenged Beechwood neighborhood. Spaull is a hyper-energetic personality who is well known in the city and seems to have her fingers in everything. She is effusive about downtown’s gains, including the housing resurgence and the redevelopment of the Midtown site and the Sibley Building. “I feel like I’m in the middle of the most amazing time in our city,” she says. But parts of her district still lack ready access to healthy food, she says. And the Beechwood neighborhood, she says, is saturated with high-impact convenience stores. “The real key is enforcement,” Spaull says. “Working with the Neighborhood Service Center and the Rochester Police Department, we must begin to use enforcement and Neighborhood Watch and our own residents to identify those stores that are illegally participating in activities which hurt families and are against the law.” That includes stores that are illegally buying food stamps from customers and then reselling them at a profit, she says. Spaull is also working with other Council members and the community on a strategy to reward stores that emphasize healthy food over alcohol, for example. She is challenged in the primary by Lisa Jacques, owner of Park Ave. Pets. Jacques says City Council’s priorities are

district, which includes the 19th Ward, Highland Park, South Wedge, Corn Hill, Upper Mount Hope, Lilac, SWAN, and Susan B. Anthony neighborhoods. The two biggest issues in his district, McFadden says, have to do with housing. Some landlords with property close to the University of Rochester — in the Brooks Landing area, for example — are inflating their rents, he says, because of university-related development in the neighborhood. “Let’s say you try to rent a property over on Barton Street, which, in the past, their rents probably never would have exceeded $700 for a single house,” McFadden says. “The rents there for a three- or four-bedroom could be anywhere between $1,400 and $1,600. And that’s a basic house in what used to be a disadvantaged neighborhood.” “It’s one of those things that people aren’t talking about, but it’s definitely changing the dynamics of the neighborhood,” he says.
wrong, that Council bends over backward to offer financial assistance to moneyed developers at the expense of the rest of the city. “The incumbent consistently votes to take our tax dollars and give them to the wealthy developers downtown,” she says. “Then they send out a survey: ‘Which services would you like cut?’ I find that offensive every time they do it. Because if they weren’t giving money to wealthy people, there would be plenty of money for extra police, extra money for the schools, extra money for services to the people.” Developers and many elected officials say that tax breaks and incentives are necessary for the city to compete, or developers will simply take their projects elsewhere. But Jacques says that’s a race to the bottom, and that despite the tax breaks, loans, and improvements City Hall has provided over the years, the benefit has not trickled down. The city has not moved the needle on poverty, for example, she says. And Jacques says that the projects that get incentives tend to create very few jobs — a complaint echoed by many critics of COMIDA and other incentive programs. Jacques also accuses Council members of knowingly passing unconstitutional laws, such as the failed curfew, just so they get the benefit while the inevitable legal challenges play out in court. Spaull says that’s ridiculous. No one wants to be sued, she says. “We’re trying to protect the city,” she says. “You always have to look at balance.” Jacques also wants the city to end its nuisance points system, which she says punishes businesses. The second issue is discrimination against people who receive Section 8 vouchers, McFadden says. Seventy percent of the vouchers issued by the Housing Authority are used in the city’s poorest, most challenged neighborhoods, he says, because many landlords refuse to accept the vouchers, “which undermines the whole purpose of the voucher system.” The discrimination locks people into poor neighborhoods, McFadden says, preventing them from improving their lives. It also ensures that the city’s concentration of poverty continues. McFadden says he’s advocating for legislation at the local and state levels to prohibit landlords from refusing Section 8 vouchers. McFadden is also vocal about his dislike of the city’s redlight camera program and the city’s decision to start booting the vehicles of people with multiple unpaid tickets. He’s pushing for an amnesty program to help people get caught up. “I’m not saying that they can’t pay their tickets,” he says. “What I’m saying is, for 90 days we’ll stop booting cars, allow people to work out payment plans for their tickets.”
(SOUTH DISTRICT CONTINUED)
McFadden’s opponent in the primary, Ann Lewis, is a former special education teacher in the Rochester City School District. She was also a rehabilitation counselor with the Monroe County Sheriff ’s Department and a victim service worker for the Rochester Police Department. Like McFadden, Lewis has issues with the city’s red-light cameras. The first offense should be a warning only, she says, and then the city should institute fines for subsequent violations. And the city shouldn’t boot cars, she says.
“People are already stressed for cash,” she says. “It shouldn’t be, ‘Well, let me decide whether to pay my RG&E or pay this red-light camera [ticket].’” Lewis says she’d fight for more affordable housing in the city, and for using more of the city’s plentiful open space for community gardens to help people eat cheaply and healthily. Another issue for Lewis: the city should provide more money for start-up businesses. “We need some real grant money so we can become self-sufficient,” she says.

Northeast District
Michael Patterson FILE PHOTO
The incumbent in this race is Michael Patterson, who did not respond to a request for an interview. A former member of the County Legislature, he was appointed to the Northeast District Council seat when then-Council member Lovely Warren was elected mayor. The district includes the Group 14621, Marketview Heights, and Upper Falls neighborhoods, areas that are home for some of the city’s poorest residents. Patterson’s opponent, Eugenio Cotto Jr., is former executive director of the Group 14621 Community Association, which provides services and advocacy for that neighborhood. The current City Council too often relies on stopgap approaches to community problems, Cotto says, when a plan that goes to the root of the issues would be better, especially for the challenged neighborhoods in the northeast. Downtown and the South Wedge are thriving, he says, while the northeast is starved for development and investment. The city’s strategy for the northeast seems to be to knock down houses, he says, and create vacant lots. “My question has always been, when are we going to do something that’s nice in the northeast?”

Northwest District
This race is an anomaly in this election cycle, because it’s the only City Council race without an incumbent. Carla Palumbo is stepping down to devote attention to her new position as head of the Legal Aid Society.
Palumbo’s chosen successor and the party’s endorsed candidate is Molly Clifford, who has a long history in city government and Democratic politics. Her last position with the city was director of fire administration. When Lovely Warren was elected mayor, Clifford left city employment and became executive director of Community Health Strategies in Rochester. Clifford is being challenged in the Democratic primary by LaShana Boose, whose campaign did not respond to requests for an interview with the candidate. The northwest includes the Brown Square, Charlotte, Dutchtown, Maplewood, JOSANA, Lyell-Otis, and Edgerton-Dewey-Driving Park neighborhoods. The district’s main issues are the same as those throughout the city, Clifford says: jobs and economic development, education, and safe and healthy neighborhoods. The northwest has healthy businesses, she says, including the much-touted Eastman Business Park. But, she says, many residents haven’t been trained for the jobs that are and will be available at the park, for example.
he says. Community gardens are fine, Cotto says, but they’re not enough to boost the quadrant. “I want to be the headache,” he says. “I want to sit on City Council and say, ‘OK, guys. You just allocated $40 million to the South Wedge. The next $40 million has to come to the northeast.” Fernwood Street once had an industrial incubator, Cotto says, but the building was falling apart, so the city demolished it about a decade ago. A developer’s plan to build housing on the site was put on hold, he says, because of environmental issues. The site has languished ever since, Cotto says. The northeast needs owner-occupancy, he says, to boost property values. Better landscaping and improved lighting would also make a difference, Cotto says. Housing and parking bump-outs on Remington Street would attract people to the businesses on Joseph Avenue, he says, which “has a business association that’s starting to thrive.” Hope has to be restored to the people in the northeast, Cotto says. The lack of investment and attention makes people feel that they don’t matter, he says. “They feel that no matter what they do, they don’t get nothing in return,” Cotto says. “They’re always asking why they should vote: ‘No matter who’s there, they’re not going to do anything for us, anyway.’”
Monroe Community College’s Damon Center is moving into former Kodak offices in the northwest, and Clifford says that she wants to work with the college and northwest businesses to create job-training programs for area residents. Clifford says that she also wants RGRTA to expand bus service in the northwest quadrant. Streetscape improvements are needed, Clifford says, on the quadrant’s three major arteries: Lake, Dewey, and Lyell Avenues. Residences and businesses along those corridors need help, too, she says, adding that she’d work to make grants and home-improvement loans available for this purpose. The northwest district also includes the controversial Port of Rochester project, which includes a hotel, town houses, and condos. Some residents say that the proposed development would be too big and would alter the character of Charlotte. Clifford says that she, too, thinks the project is too big and that she would “hold the developer’s feet to the fire” to make sure the neighborhood gets the best project possible.

Convenience in the city Hart’s Local Grocers 10 WINTHROP STREET 7 A.M. TO 9 P.M. EVERY DAY 521-4278; HARTSLOCALGROCERS.COM [ REVIEW ] BY CHRIS LINDSTROM
There is something appealing about getting a meal in the same place you do your shopping. The convenience of grabbing ready-to-go food while buying groceries is hard to beat. Hart’s Local Grocers came onto the scene with a flurry of social media activity and a ton of hype. For me, one of the more anticipated sections of the store was the sandwich counter up front. The menu features breakfast, served all day, and a selection of seasonal lunch and dinner options to choose from. I’m a fan of breakfast sandwiches and Hart’s offers one of the finer versions in town. The fantastic Ace roll that is usually offered wasn’t available during my visits, but Hart’s substituted a pleasant ciabatta that carried the bulk of the sandwich well. The two eggs, arugula, bacon, and cheddar ($5.95 for the build your own sandwich) made for an appetizing and clean-tasting option. The corned beef hash with two over-easy eggs
($5.95) is filling but needed more of a sear on the flattop and a sprinkling of salt to shine. The pork carnitas ($7.95), using a tangy and smoky chipotle BBQ sauce, was the most flavorful of the lunch sandwich offerings I tried. It also didn’t hurt that the tender pork, crunchy slaw, and pickled red onions gave a balance of textures. The caprese grilled cheese and the pork cutlet sandwiches ($7.25 each) both suffered from a distinct lack of salt. Conceptually, both made sense, and with a little added seasoning, the fresh ingredients from the caprese woke up nicely. What turned out to be the highlight of my
visits was the prepared foods section with its wide variety of salads and meats sold by the pound. The section also has a rotating $8 dinner option. I went for the BBQ chicken with roasted potatoes and a simple summer vegetable medley. For a takeout meal that was pre-cooked, it was a top notch effort on all fronts. The vegetables remained crunchy and bright, and used hints of garlic; the potatoes were assertively seasoned with rosemary, pepper, and salt; and the chicken was juicy throughout. I was also pleased with the chicken pot pie ($6.50). After re-heating in the oven at home for 15 to 20 minutes, the crust was beautifully
flaky. Thankfully the classic chunky pot pie vegetables and meat inside weren’t overdone, and the gravy was thick and rich. I would have enjoyed some fresh herbs in there to lighten up the feel of the dish, but this is still something I’d be happy to bring home with me any night. If chicken pot pie doesn’t float your boat, edge into a heavy beef stroganoff ($9.99 per pound) or an impressively balanced vegan coconut curry lentil stew ($8.99) that would satisfy any meat eater. The store’s daily selection of cold salads is impressive, and each version is based around a different starch. My favorite was the quinoa salad ($9.99 per pound), cooked just under al dente and served with tomatoes, onion, sunflower seeds, and lima beans. This came across as a light, fresh accompaniment to the heavier main course options. The farro salad ($9.99 per pound) reminded me of a classic couscous dish; the salad used dried fruit (apricot and cranberry in this case) and herbs. The chopped fennel and mint helped to make it more complex, and not end up with a one-note sweetness. Other options include kale tabbouleh, tortellini salad, and a Mexican-themed rice and beans. It was an odd sensation to look into a togo case and see a dessert as visually appealing
as the mango mousse ($3.99). It stood out with a starkly bright orange-yellow cream in a plastic ring mold and was topped with an artfully stenciled piece of chocolate. This is a simple dessert but one that had me wanting more of the floral mousse and dark chocolate combination. The peach cobbler ($3.99) had plenty of cooked down fruit in a lightly sweet sauce and used a more wholesome version of the traditional oat topping. This isn’t the most decadent version of a peach cobbler by a long shot, but the first bite of the peaches had me hooked, and I didn’t even bother to re-heat it. There are more options than ever to get food quickly when you can’t be bothered to make a whole meal at home. Hart’s stands out with its diverse selection, allowing you to balance out an entire meal. You can satisfy both the comforting side and the more virtuous side of dining. The produce and meat used in its food is sourced locally when possible which only makes the offerings more appealing.

[ FOLK ] Neil Van Dorn has some earworm
choruses that I’m singing to myself as I write this. The band isn’t distinctly a pop, folk, or rock act, but it seems totally comfortable with that. Neil Van Dorn’s honest croons fill out with his supporting four-piece. Last July, the group released its 7-track debut EP, “Cellars and Attics” (2014).

Can a Rochester surf rock band capture the California sound with authenticity and ingenuity? The answer is a resounding “Yes.” The Huckleberry Fins’ album “Pipe Dreams” — released on July 24 via the locallybased Dadstache Records — is as tight and cohesive as anything you’ll hear all year. The Fins have put together a fast-paced collection of riff-laden songs that will put the wind in your hair and the sand between your toes. And yet the trio also brings a jazz sensibility to its brand of surf music, evident in the nuances of Paolo Marino’s intelligent drum fills and the connective tissue of guitarist Ryan Bailey’s extended legato phrasing, bolstered by bassist Jameson Dunham’s dependable rumble. The band’s chemistry is especially evident in “Wild Blue Yonder,” as Bailey’s insightful guitar work weaves its way around Marino’s lively syncopations, evoking a high-speed road trip along the West Coast. “Malaguena” combines punk rock energy and Spanish classical guitar inflections. The mostly instrumental record features only one track with Bailey on vocals: the worthwhile “Balance.” And just when the album seems to succumb to the predictability and musical limitations of surf tunes, “Romancing the Wave” comes along — ecstatic and compelling — with an utterly delectable guitar lick. Bailey’s guitar style recalls Johnny Marr with The Smiths, as rhythmically intricate, textures melodies are bathed in just the right amount of reverb. — BY DANIEL J. KUSHNER

Turn up the reverb and you turn up the lonely. That’s what The Lovely Intangibles has done on its debut release, “Tomorrow is Never.” Even without the bed of reverb to wallow in, this album is an epic, quasi-gothic affair; a narcotic lullaby. This is a beautiful collection of nine forays into melancholy that sparkle like Mazzy Star. The band is the collision of Rochester vocalist Mary Ognibene (Datsun Moon) and members of The Lost Patrol in what was initially a plan to record a few experimental numbers. But like a Ouija board, the music took hold and the project grew into a full-blown project and band. Obviously influenced by The Lost Patrol, the Lovely Intangibles has created a dreamy, cohesive trip with “Tomorrow is Never” that in and of itself is both lovely and intangible. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Ambassadors to the rabbit hole Sophistafunk WITH SUBSOIL, UPWARD GROOVE, LEVEL 7, AND DJ SIGMA SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5 FLOUR CITY STATION, 170 EAST AVENUE 8 P.M. | $10 | FLOURCITYSTATION.COM; SOPHISTAFUNKBAND.COM [ INTERVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE
Sometimes a band gets caught up in its own secular spirituality and winds up crowding the vibe. It’s a delicate balance between message and music. Syracuse’s Sophistafunk puts forth a heavy groove that rivals pants-less fun, but there is also a seriousness in the minimalist attack, a sense of responsibility for the privilege of holding the mic. Live, this trio — Jack Brown, vocals; Emanuel Washington, drums; and Adam Gold, keyboards — is like a Chevelle with the hydraulics gone haywire … that goes the same for in the studio, where the band plans on heading this fall. The funk, as played by these Salt City standouts, is in between the notes it plays: not always heard, but felt down to the bone. Sophistafunk will break your sophistaback, Jack. Speaking of Jack … front man Jack Brown sat down to answer a few questions about touring, breaking the bonds of a mental prison, and never faking the funk. An edited transcript of that conversation follows. 16 CITY SEPTEMBER 2-8, 2015
City: What’s new in the Sophistafunk world? Jack Brown: We are set to record our new
album in late September at More Sound Studios in Syracuse. We are gearing up for a return to the Midwest next month and a tour to California in January.
Gimme a little background on the band
We met in 2007 at the Syracuse venue Funk ‘N Waffles, which is owned by our keyboard player Adam Gold. We had our first show there with Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad. We started playing local music festivals, including Sterling Stage, and became a mainstay from New York City to Burlington, Vermont. In 2011, we toured Colorado with the Rochester band Thunderbody. By 2012, it was on to California and the Great Northwest. Then, 2013 saw our first trip to the UK with Syracuse native Joe Driscoll. We returned to England in 2014 to play the BoomTown Fair, with more than 50,000 in attendance. Recently, we played a huge Super Bowl Party in Tempe, Arizona, with Kid Rock, and on July 4th we rocked Sioux City, Iowa, with Aretha Franklin. But the highlight of the year was our set at Grass Roots in Trumansburg. How would you describe your sound?
Vintage soul and funk plus heavy dance, electronic grooves. The last ingredient is renegade hip-hop. Throw in some reggae, rock, acid jazz, jam, and more, just to keep everyone on their toes.
How many records do you have out?
We have two EPs and one full-length album out already. Our most recent is the EP “Freedom Is,” but we have another currently in the works. Are you a live band that records, or a studio band that plays live?
Definitely a live band that records. It’s a good problem to have, because a lot of bands that are good in the studio aren’t necessarily exciting in person. We pour our hearts out at the live shows every night. You seem to focus on socially and politically charged themes, do you think music can bridge the gap or at least start a discourse?
Absolutely. It’s one of the few times where people stop their busy lives to think outside the box; to challenge old ideas; to wake up themselves and others. We travel from city to city inspiring people to peer into the looking glass. We’re ambassadors to the rabbit hole. There are many of us out there, and we make connections one show at a time. How do you describe a Sophistafunk fan?
Wow, great question. It could be someone who sees hundreds of bands a year but remembers us because we stand out. It could be someone who never goes to see live music but randomly has an unforgettable experience at one of our shows. It could be a Dead head, Phish head, or underground hip-hop head. A former hippie, a current hippie, or (to narrow it down) any man, woman, or child of any background. Or any of those people could watch us and walk away. It’s hard to quantify. Catch one show and you’ll understand. Any recent highlights or anecdotes from the road?
We recently did some tracking at SubCat Studios in Syracuse with SU professor Jim Abbott and an incredible group of special education students as part of their summer rock camp. We even had the kids come in the booth with us to help sing the chorus. What does Sophistafunk do that no other band does?
I’m not sure about that. I like to think we’re part of a long line of bards, poets, and instrumentalists who through the eons have utilized music to speak the unspoken language of existence; bending reality with the vibrations of sound. Metaphysical alchemists who explore the boundaries of our conscious and unconscious world, transcending space and time to usher in a new era of peace, love, and empathy.

INSTRUMENTAL | TAUK
HIP-HOP | DIPSET
If you love Roots Collider, then you’ll love these guys. Hailing from Oyster Bay, New York, Tauk is a fusion band that mixes exploratory jams within an atmosphere of its own doing. Its extrapolated take on groove and texture is mesmerizing and cool.
Back in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s, East Coast rappers Cam’ron, Jim Jones, Juelz Santana, and Freekey Zekey each stood out on their own, with a bevy of mixtapes, studio albums, and featured appearances. But there was something happening in Harlem at the time that constantly brought the musicians back together to collaborate as The Diplomats — commonly known as Dipset. In 2003, Dipset made its album debut with “Diplomatic Immunity,” and quickly followed it up the next year with “Diplomatic Immunity 2.” Rifts and disputes started to open up in the group in the late 2000’s and the project seemed to be over — until 2010, when Cam’ron and Jim Jones came out to say more Dipset material was coming. A new album hasn’t materialized, but the group has been performing regular reunion concerts since 2013.
Tauk plays with Mr. F on Wednesday, September 9, at Montage Music Hall, 50 Chestnut Street. 8 p.m. $12-$15. themontagemusichall.com; taukband.com. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Even if you’re long past your back-to-school days, get into the spirit with a couple of provocative art shows, offered by two local academic institutions. Both shows are free to attend and open this week. On Friday, September 4, 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., Gallery r will open Meredith Davenport’s “Theater of War,” a series of photographs of modern-day war reenactors. Rather than your typical Civil War enthusiasts, nostalgic for musket fire and marching to fife-anddrum, Davenport focuses on reenactors of current conflicts. Armed with realistic-looking air guns, Davenport’s subjects play games that are interpretations of news reports and veteran’s experiences from contemporary clashes. Some are recent vets, themselves. Davenport’s oeuvre includes imagery of men posing as American soldiers pretending to hunt for Osama bin Laden, to kill Fidel Castro, or battle nonexistent Arabic-speaking tribes. These war games take place not overseas, but in the hills of northern Virginia, forests of southern Florida, and deserts outside of Los Angeles, the locations selected for their similarities with the real-world war terrain. “How violence is digested through the news media and re-interpreted in online games is important to the work,” Davenport says.
Some photographs nod to iconic images in the history of photojournalism — Davenport has 20 years of experience in the field — while others reference the original narratives that inspired the play. In one image, a young boy stands handcuffed in a dark basement (actually an abandoned wine cellar in Fresno), disturbingly alluding to torture in the Abu Ghraib Prison. “Thinking about Jean Baudrillard’s idea of simulation, I created another version of this work, a performance of the photograph of the young boy in the wine cellar,” Davenport says. “I wanted to explore what would happen to the power of the Abu Ghraib image referenced in the photograph by adding another generation of simulation.” So, in an accompanying performance, “Kill House” — which took place in the Hunter Times Square Gallery in 2009 — a young soldier confronts viewers in the gallery space, handcuffed and hauntingly still, breathing and awaiting fate. As part of the Fringe Festival, on September 25, 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., a free performance of “Kill House” will take place at Gallery r, along with a book signing of “Theater of War” (which contains interviews and essays by Jessica Catherine Lieberman and Esther MacCallum-Stewart and was published in the fall of 2014 by Intellect Press). Just about everyone has something to say about the now-infamous city of Ferguson, Missouri, and its place in America’s brutal history of race-based conflict. Artist Bryce Olen Robinson grew up in the community. In “From #Ferguson,” an exhibit of Robinson’s work that will open at the Hartnett Gallery on Thursday, September 3, the artist explores tension between Ferguson as place and Ferguson as a cultural construct. Robinson works in a large-scale with diverse materials and is often driven by collaboration with varied communities, with an interest in using art as a catalyst for important discussion and action. Works on the subject of Ferguson have included “Prime Beauty,” a damaged sign resurrected from the

Per provided information, new works included in this show are the result of Robinson’s struggle “to understand and redress his own point of origin.” The pieces will include a wide range of material approaches, including sculpture,
drawing, video, and performance artifacts. “Through art and life, I continue to bear witness to the effects of racism and structural isolation,” Robinson says. “I am tracing the injustice of structural segregation and its lasting effect on my hometown.” An artist talk will take place Thursday, September 3, at 4:30 p.m. in the Stackel Room of Wilson Commons, followed by a discussion and then a reception from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the Hartnett Gallery. The exhibition will remain on view through September 27.

At the end of 2015, Ock Hee Hale will close her Honeoye Falls gallery space at 2 Lehigh Street, choosing to instead focus on her gardening and landscaping business. But until then, she continues to host beautiful work by local artists. On Saturday, September 5, noon to 5 p.m., Ock Hee’s Gallery will host an opening reception for “Quiet Resonance,” featuring all white porcelain sculpture by Christina Brinkman (artwork pictured) and black and white photography by P.J. Pennewell, who is Garth Fagan Company’s rehearsal director and assistant to Fagan. Brinkman’s work is characterized by clusters of natural forms, and Pennewell’s images are of peaceful, scenic nature. The show will remain on view through October 3. Ock Hee’s Gallery is open Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and admission is free. While you’re there, enjoy the beautiful landscaping, walk the labyrinth, and take in the last sips of late summer.

SPECIAL EVENT | FESTIVAL OF BALLOONS
The New York State Festival of Balloons turns 34 this year, and will pack another weekend with food, music, and of course, hot air balloons. The festival starts on Thursday, September 3, with the balloon glow at dusk — the burners are ignited, inflating the balloons, and the large group gives off a glow. The festival continues through the weekend with arts and crafts shows; a bird of prey demonstration; music by Lucky Number, Southern Tier All Star Jazz Band, Overhung, and Rebel’s Posse; and six balloon launches with rides available for a fee.

ART | “CARL CHIARENZA: LARGE SCALE PRINTS”
Carl Chiarenza’s luminous, dreamscape photographs are the result of meticulously pieced collages, which the artist lights and shoots in his studio. He works in all scales, but for some of his most engaging art he has enlarged the image so that viewers lose themselves in the numinous inner realms he is so adept at creating. Though abstract, the work often suggest elements of landscapes and figures in space. On Friday, September 4, 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., ARTISANworks (565 Blossom Road, Suite L) will host an opening reception for “Carl Chiarenza: Large Scale Prints.” The show will remain on view through January 2, 2016. ARTISANworks is open to the public Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, noon to 5 p.m., or by appointment. Admission is $12, $8 for seniors and students, and free to members and children ages 5 and younger. For more information, call 288-7170 or visit artisanworks.net.

Throughout his career, Baumbach has [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW maintained a fascination with characters who face major life transitions kicking and screaming Fresh off his generational comedy, “While (literally the name of his first movie), and in We’re Young,” Noah Baumbach reteams with most of his films it is college that acts as the harsh Greta Gerwig for “Mistress America,” a story dividing line between the carefree days of youth with similar preoccupations about the allure of and the crushing responsibilities of adulthood. youthfulness and struggle for authenticity, but Tracy (Lola Kirke) has just moved to New York delivered with a delightfully screwball edge. This City as a freshman at Barnard College, and is is Baumbach’s third collaboration with Gerwig, feeling adrift in the mystifying social world of following 2010’s “Greenberg” and 2012’s “Frances higher education. She develops a crush on the Ha,” and her contributions seem to bring first boy she meets, Tony (Matthew Shear), but that tapers off into a friendship as they bond over their mutual rejection from the campus’s pretentious literary society.

A whirlwind of relentless enthusiasm, Brooke is a force of nature. A self-described autodidact, Brooke is constantly reinventing herself, fashioning herself into a restaurateur, interior decorator, spinning instructor, and math tutor. Tracy is dazzled by the older and seemingly wiser Brooke, who seems open to all that the city has to offer in a way that Tracy wishes for herself. Gradually it becomes apparent that while Brooke is an endless source of ideas, she’s mostly all talk (her latest brainstorm involves a restaurant that’s also a hair salon); consciously or not, Brooke sees in Tracy a way to perpetuate the mythology she’s built for herself. Realizing that Brooke isn’t as together as she seems, Tracy decides to stay along for the ride, but mines the experience for writing material. As she gets a crash-course in city living, she surreptitiously scribbles it all down in her notebook, using Brooke as inspiration for a story she calls “Mistress America” (taken from the title for Brooke’s proposed superhero television series). The film’s screwball tone keeps escalating, finally tipping over into full blown farce as Brooke and Tracy, along with a few fellow students, pile into a car to invade the Connecticut home of Brooke’s “ex-friend and nemesis” (a hilariously haughty Heather Lind) in order to secure startup money. This sequence, with characters running from room to room, talking over one another, and piling on complication after complication, is a marvel of writing, performance, timing, and blocking.

Three kings [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
The fast-paced banter would give Howard Hawks a run for his money. “While We’re Young” showed us what happened when a 40-something couple, played by Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts, fell under the sway of a younger, “cooler” couple, and now “Mistress America” gives us that story’s flipside. Like “Paper Towns” earlier this summer, the film explores the consequences of projecting our own idealized preconceptions onto someone else. It understands that in a world where everyone seems to borrow from everyone else, the search for authenticity can be a fruitless undertaking when no one seems to be quite sure what that is anymore. Even when they’re making bad choices, Gerwig’s script maintains an affection for its characters that “While We’re Young” didn’t always extend to its malevolent millennials. Kirke is wonderful in the type of grounded performance that’s exactly what the film requires as it spirals increasingly out of control; her Tracy is the perfect straight-woman to Brooke’s manic, dominating personality. Crucially, she earns our sympathies in those opening scenes when she’s feeling lost and unsure, convinced that everyone around her somehow knows precisely what they’re doing. Greta Gerwig is great as always and despite Brooke’s blatant narcissism, we can see immediately why people so easily fall under her charm. Brooke is just another in a line of brilliant comedic creations from Gerwig, providing further evidence that she’s not just a great writer, but one of the best leading ladies we have.
“We Are Your Friends”
“Listen to Me Marlon”
“Jauja”
(R), DIRECTED BY MAX JOSEPH NOW PLAYING
(NR), DIRECTED BY STEVAN RILEY SCREENS TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 7 P.M., AT THE LITTLE THEATRE
(NR), DIRECTED BY LISANDRO ALONSO SCREENS WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 8 P.M., AT THE DRYDEN THEATRE
Using a treasure trove of private audio recordings (reportedly more than 300 hours’ worth) made by actor Marlon Brando throughout his life, “Listen to Me Marlon” offers a deeply personal tour of the late performer’s life. Though undeniably one of the greats, Brando’s legacy was diminished somewhat in his later years as he gained a reputation for being difficult to work with and making unusual career choices (see: “The Island of Doctor Moreau”). Stevan Riley’s compelling documentary not only gives a new appreciation for the artist, but contextualizes a lot of those decisions as it delves into the many family tragedies in his life, including his son’s manslaughter conviction and his daughter’s suicide. As the years went on, Brando developed a cynical opinion of Hollywood that at times seemed to fester into outright hatred. Brando touches on many of his most notable roles, and it’s fascinating to hear him express his disappointment with the quality of his performance in a masterpiece like “On the Waterfront” (arguably his most acclaimed role). Riley makes recurring use of a digitized version of Brando’s face, made in the 1980’s when the actor believed the technique would be the future of filmmaking — apparently imagining something along the lines of the world depicted in “The Congress.” Mixed in with the archival footage and clips, the image makes for a ghostly, oddly beautiful motif. Paired with Brando’s words, the effect is an idiosyncratic but moving portrait of a Hollywood legend.
In “Jauja,” Viggo Mortensen stars as a Danish engineer, Gunnar Dinesen, tasked with aiding the Argentine army in exploring a remote, wind-swept region of Patagonia in the late-19th century. When his 15-year-old daughter, Inge (Viilbjørk Malling Agger), runs off with a young soldier in the middle of the night, Dinesen sets off after her. From there, Lisandro Alonso’s mesmerizingly dreamy Western unfolds at a leisurely pace — it’s very much of the slow cinema movement — expanding to become an enigmatic meditation on time, loss, and the cruel indifference of nature. Before he sets out, Dinesen is warned of Zuluaga, a former general who went mad and vanished, but has become a figure of local legend. In the film’s opening text, we learn that its title comes from the name of a mythic paradise that ensnares any man foolish enough to go searching for it — and that should tip you off as to whether any satisfying ending awaits us at the end of our journey. Finnish cinematographer Timo Salminen shoots the film in a square aspect ratio with rounded off edges, as though we’re viewing the world through a slide projector or the world’s best ViewMaster, giving the image the appearance of an antique photograph. Every frame is artfully composed, and the long takes paired with an extreme depth of field allow us ample opportunity to scan every inch of the harsh landscape. The sense of dread this instills dovetails with the film’s general preoccupation with the unknown: characters are constantly gazing off-screen, as if hinting at the violence and danger that lie just beyond our field of vision.
An electronic tone poem of millennial angst set to a throbbing bassline, “We Are Your Friends” focuses on aspiring EDM artist Cole (Zac Efron) and his bros — Ollie (Shiloh Fernandez), Mason (Jonny Weston), and Squirrel (Alex Shaffer) — living it up in the San Fernando Valley, hoping to find their fortune. Though the story is nothing we haven’t seen — an earnestly traditional coming-of-age story — Max Joseph directs the hell out of it. Drawing on his background as video director for Good Magazine, Joseph utilizes text overlays and flashy motion graphics as effective tools for building his tale about finding one’s artistic voice. Wes Bentley delivers a great performance as a jaded, but more experienced DJ who mentors Cole and imparts his wisdom. There’s also an art gallery drug trip that’s an all-timer. The film is packed with so many great details (anytime it gets into the intricacies of DJing, it’s great) that it moves with an irresistible energy all its own.

Special Nitrate Screening!
NOTHING SACRED
MARY POPPINS
The audience at the Nitrate Picture Show film festival earlier this year delighted in the beautiful vintage nitrate Technicolor print of Nothing Sacred. Featuring rambunctious performances by Fredric March and Carole Lombard and banking on the sensationalist journalism of the 1930s, this comedy offers up the story of young Hazel Flagg, believed to be stricken with radium poisoning, who bemoans the fact that she has never been out of her small town. Disgraced reporter Wally Cook comes to her rescue in a last-ditch effort to save his career. (William A. Wellman, US 1937, 77 min., 35mm)
Julie Andrews won an Oscar for her performance as this magical English nanny. Set in London during the progressive era, this charming musical resolves many of the period’s social concerns—suffrage, class antagonisms, and child labor—in a manner possible only at Disney. Yet the film also retains a melancholy sense of innocence lost, evoked most powerfully in its famous chimney-sweep ballet sequence. Filmed in Technicolor and combining live-action with animation, this classic is well worth seeing on the big screen. (Robert Stevenson, US 1964, 139 min., 35mm) Part of the series Dryden Kids.

FILM | LABOR FILM SERIES
Long after specific goals are met, it’s easy to forget how far we’ve come — and how much more work we have to do. Hosted at the Dryden Theatre (Eastman House, 900 East Avenue), the 26th Annual Labor Film Series will help remind us of struggles and successes regarding workplace conditions, organizing efforts, discrimination, globalization, and immigration. This year’s series kicks off on Friday, September 4, with “The Hand That Feeds,” (pictured) a 2014 work about a group of undocumented workers who fought back against sublegal wages, dangerous machinery, and abusive managers. The series continues each Friday night through October 30, and includes “The Wobblies” (September 25), a 1979 documentary about the Industrial Workers of the World’s (IWW) early 20th-century commitment to class solidarity; “The Trotsky” (October 2), a 2009 flick about high schooler Leon Bronstein, who believes he is the reincarnation of Soviet thinker Leon Trotsky; and “Pride” (October 30), a 2014 film about the role of gay and lesbian activist in supporting the families of striking English mineworkers.

50 Madison Street
Built in 1843 near a newly constructed public square, 50 Madison Street was a witness to the birth of the women’s rights movement. Just up the street at 17 Madison is the house that Susan B. Anthony called home from 1866 to her death in 1906. In the parlor of that house she was arrested for casting her vote and in the words of the judge “at that time you were a woman.” From the attic study of that home the women’s rights movement was organized and supervised. Today the neighborhood around the square is known as the Susan B. Anthony Neighborhood. It is both a City Preservation District and a National Register historic district. National Register listing qualifies homeowners for the New York State Historic Homeowners Tax Credit program.

FAIRPORT; 1710 AYRAULT RD, $279,900. LARGE FARMHOUSE with VERY LARGE BARN on over 2 ACRES. Incredible space, storage, and views! This 3200+ colonial has been cared for the same owner for more than 25 years. Possible development opportunity on this large lot as well, please call Ryan Smith - 218-2802, Re/Max Realty Group
Typical of urban construction in the early 1800s, the gable front faces the street and the living space extends back into the narrow lot. This provides ample space for seven rooms and two full baths. Enter through the formal front door into the front hall or through the door at the end of the side porch, which opens directly into a spacious dining room. Wall sconces provide the ambient light for a leisurely meal. The tin ceiling above continues into other first floor rooms. The adjoining eat-in kitchen is modern and up to date with plenty of room for meal preparation and a small pantry. Behind the kitchen is an enclosed porch. In the front parlor tall windows look out on the street. The floors here and in the
dining room are hardwood narrow board construction. Window and door casings as well as baseboard trim are of a dark wood construction, an original architectural detail. These details are carried through into the front hall where stairs lead to the second floor. The closeted space under the stairs could provide a storage area or, since it does have a small window, a tiny secluded office space. Upstairs consists of four bedrooms and one full bathroom. The Susan B. Anthony Preservation District offers a quiet oasis on the edge of the hustle and bustle of city life. At the heart of the neighborhood is the public square, which dates back to the 1830s and is still carefully maintained. In the center of the square sits the life-sized statue by sculptor Pepsy Kettavong of Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass enjoying tea and conversation. Here on a park bench is a place to enjoy calm, contemplation and conversation. Just down the street the house at 50 Madison offers a quiet haven in a place that saw history made. List price for this 1,954 square foot home is $70,000 and annual taxes are $1,860.
