Why march for the climate?

Is the People’s Climate March in New York City on September 21 a waste of time? Even hardcore environmentalists are questioning the political efficacy of major street demonstrations to produce significant legislative action.

Judging by the anti-war rallies leading up to the Iraq invasion in 2003, it is clear that governments can ignore massive protests without batting an eye.

So why march? My answer is based more on the evidence of social history than on a hopeful dream for our future. Major acts of civil resistance have always played a dramatic role in shaping the destiny of moral progress.

Gandhi’s Salt March began as a meager 70-person hike down the Indian coastline. By the time he had reached the Dandi beach 240 miles and 24 days later, there were more than 50,000 people gathered together to resist the unjust salt tax. It was this event that shook the British Empire and began the process of granting freedom and democracy to 350 million people.

The 1963 Children’s March in Birmingham is another example. In spite of fierce opposition from the local and state authorities, thousands of African- American young people took to the streets and demanded to be treated with dignity and fairness.

It was this march that changed Kennedy’s mind about the South and altered the course of American civil liberty forever.

And most recently we can turn to the march on the Brooklyn Bridge in 2011, when 700 demonstrators were arrested for trying to awaken the conscience of a nation. This event helped fortify the encampment on Wall Street and propelled a movement that is still changing the global conversation about economic disparity and social justice.

Like the Salt March, the People’s Climate March can help to begin the dismantling of corporate monopolization over our planet’s resources.

Like the Children’s March, it has the potential to galvanize people from all over the world to fight for human dignity. And by defending our right to clean air, water, and food, it has the power to build a climate-justice movement every bit as urgent and far- reaching as Occupy.

Marches of this caliber have transformed the course of history before.

Why not again?

Pros and cons on a $15 wage

People who are complaining about a higher wage for fast food employees would do well to remember that these jobs are no longer held primarily by high school kids earning spending money, but increasingly by people trying to survive, pay bills, and raise children.

That’s the reality of the economy we live in right now, and one can’t always just run out, try harder, and get another job.

On top of that, taxpayers are subsidizing the fast food industry to pay their workers low wages in the form of food stamps, medical insurance, and other benefits.

You pay for McDonalds’ greed. It’s really that simple.

Instead of telling fast food workers to work harder at life, or defending wealthy franchisees that need no defense, perhaps you should join these brave workers on the picket line next time.

And there will be a next time.

“Remember: (1) Most fastfood workers are adults who are major breadwinners for their families; (2) had the minimum wage fifty years ago merely kept up with inflation it would be over $15 today; (3) when these giant corporations don’t pay living wages the rest of us pay Medicaid and food stamps to help these families stay out of poverty; (4) a $15 living wage puts more money into the pockets of people who will spend it, thereby creating more jobs, not fewer; (5) McDonalds, Burger King, and the rest are hugely profitable, paying their CEOs over 1,000 times what they pay their frontline workers. It’s time America’s fast-food workers got a raise.” – Robert Reich JOAN COLLINS LAMBERT

So if the minimum wage goes up, requiring not only soulless corporations but struggling mom-and-pop businesses to pony up, then skilled worker wages rise commensurately, then retail prices skyrocket so businesses can afford to pay their employees…. Aren’t we right back where we started?

What am I missing here?

LUCY

To raise the minimum wage for fast food workers to $15 an hour is absolutely idiotic. If the fast food workers want to earn more money, they should get another job. Or work two jobs.

There are plenty of trained skilled workers making $12$13 an hour. You don’t here them crying in their soup.

The reason these jobs pay so little has to do with the lack of skills required to perform the work. Food comes frozen or bagged and prepped; all that is required is cutting open these bags and learning how to use a microwave properly. Many corporate, streamlined places of business have preparation guides in multiple languages with pictures included, so that even the most illiterate employee may function in these highly organized environments.

Officially, I “live below the poverty line” myself. I manage to survive, however, by a number of important lifestyle guidelines.

Take a stand for the children

I too feel scant hope for the hundreds of little children starting kindergarten and first grade (“‘Fix’ the Schools? Maybe We’re Not Up To the Job,” Urban Journal). I see their excitement and hope, but I do not see that they will get the proper education and the chance at life that is their birthright.

I fully expect that the cycle of poverty will continue, and the conditions that brought about the rebellion of 1964 will have only more hopeless people who lash out in anger and desperation.

This is what happens when dreams are deferred.

I agree that Rochesterians must put muscle behind their commitment to stand by these children. What if all of Rochester conducted a massive show of support by stopping everything in order to shout out: “We will not allow our children to be cheated!” Rochester would get on the evening news and say that our school problem is national in scope.

American urban schools need a Marshall Plan to begin to address the cycle of poverty. Rochester might start a chain reaction. Other cities would take their own moral stand. Rochester would redeem itself for not standing up for those who were left out of the financial boom of the post World War II years.

No city is able to address this systemic problem. This failure to serve our children has gone on way too long.

Our children need so much.

We Rochesterians need to take a moral stand.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Toward what end?

Obama’s ISIS policy I don’t like where this is headed.

I don’t like it at all.

It’s been 13 years since 9/11, and in spite of the blood spilled and the money spent in Iraq and Afghanistan, by this country and others, we have by no means wiped out the threat of terrorism.

We weakened – but didn’t destroy – Al Qaeda. Now radical Islamists known as ISIS, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or ISIL, the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Greater Syria), are killing people, videotaping beheadings, taking over part of Iraq, and recruiting future terrorists from Europe and the US. This is a world in which scary people are doing very scary things. And war enthusiasts to the contrary, there’s little reason to believe that if we were to snuff out ISIS, such threats would be a thing of the past.

On the eve of yet another observance of 9/11, President Obama outlined his plan for dealing with ISIS. “America,” he said, “will lead a broad coalition to roll back this terrorist threat.” And he promised to “degrade, and ultimately destroy” ISIS. But Obama’s strategy is full of risk and uncertainty. He plans a “systematic campaign of airstrikes” in Iraq and perhaps Syria. The US will increase its support to the Syrian-rebel and Iraqi forces already fighting ISIS in those countries. He has no intention, he says, of sending American ground forces into Iraq or Syria.

But leaving aside the civilian casualties that will certainly occur, airstrikes alone won’t be enough to destroy ISIS. Success will depend heavily on those Syrian and Iraqi forces on the ground. And they are weak, divided, and unpredictable.

South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham warned on Sunday that it’s a “fantasy” to think we can be successful without sending in US ground forces. I suspect he’s right.

Worse, I suspect Obama thinks so, too.

Obama promised that he is building a broad coalition to join us. Both France and Australia have said they’ll participate in the airstrikes. And the Obama administration said on Sunday that “several” Arab countries have said they’ll engage in airstrikes, although the administration hasn’t said which ones.

Participation by Arab nations is critical, and Obama faces an enormous challenge dealing with the countries in that region.

Saudi Arabian leaders have said they will help train and equip Syrian moderates, but many young Saudis are joining ISIS. Wealthy people, mosques, and

Airstrikes alone won’t be enough to destroy ISIS. Success will depend heavily on Syrian and Iraqi forces on the ground.” organizations in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait have been helping fund ISIS. The Obama administration, the Times reported on Sunday, hasn’t been able to persuade Turkey to get tough on ISIS blackmarket sales of oil. And on Monday, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said Iran would not take part in any USled action. The United States, he said, has “dirty intentions and hands.”

This is complicated almost beyond belief. The roots of the ISIS story are

buried deep within religious history, civil conflicts, international politics, ineffective governments, poverty….

Our friends of yesterday are enemies today. (Or not. We’re on the same side as ISIS on one thing: ISIS wants Bashar alAssad gone, and we do too. But we want ISIS gone. And so does Assad.)

The US Congress is deeply divided on many things, but I’d bet that despite the risks, more than a majority of its members are willing to approve airstrikes. And as Stephen Zunes wrote recently on Progressive. org, limited strikes are sometimes necessary to protect people from genocide. But, he added, “it is important to remember that the United States has been bombing Iraq for nearly a quarter century and things have only gotten worse for the people of Iraq and for the security interests of Iraq’s neighbors and ultimately for the United States.”

As for arming Iraqis in their fight against ISIS: “As with the Thieu regime in South Vietnam in the 1970’s,” Zunes wrote, “the United States can provide all the arming and training of an allied armed force it continues on page 7 rochestercitynewspaper.com

Absenteeism alarm

Rochester schools superintendent Bolgen Vargas’s goal was 95 percent attendance on the first day of school. In the weeks leading up to opening day, Vargas sounded upbeat and confident that city students and parents would meet the challenge.

But the district fell short. First-day attendance was about 83 percent overall. Only two schools — SOTA and School 58 — reached the 95 percent threshold. (Attendance climbed a little on day two.)

Kimberly and Beck back on air

As suspected by many, Kimberly and Beck’s “firing” from Rochester radio turned out to be more akin to a cooling-off period. The duo has begun hosting a show on 95.1 the Brew, which is owned by Clear Channel.

Entercom fired Kimberly and Beck from the Buzz 98.9 earlier this year after the pair made hateful remarks on air about the transgender community.

Rochester schools Superintendent Bolgen Vargas will continue his push to reduce absenteeism in city schools. So far, there hasn’t been much improvement.

District spokesperson Chip Partner says that there are a variety of reasons for first-day absenteeism, such as late registration, transportation mix ups, and confusion over school starting times. But that doesn’t explain why so many Rochester students miss so much school.

Attendance tracking has improved in the district — identifying which students are chronically absent, and the schools with the highest absenteeism rates.

But the root causes of chronic high absenteeism remain elusive despite efforts to drive home the importance of going to school.

Vargas and other city and school district officials have even gone door to door looking for truants.

And Vargas has used the district’s testing data to show the impact of low attendance. The more time students miss, the less hope they have of ever catching up. And it doesn’t take many absences to cause problems.

“The superintendent says when high-school attendance is no more than 80 percent that leads to about a 40 percent graduation rate,” Partner says.

District officials will try to combat absenteeism this year with a fullcourt marketing campaign called “Every Minute Counts.” Publicity, an incentive program that rewards higher attendance, and even stickers for younger kids touting the importance of being in school and being engaged are all part of the campaign.

“I was naïve and I thought that PrEP, which is scientifically proven to work, would have people breaking down the door to try this.

But it’s been the old adage of throwing a party and nobody came.” [ DR. WILLIAM VALENTI ]

HEALTH | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Preventing H.I.V., battling stigma Governor Andrew Cuomo’s ambitious goal of ending AIDS by 2020 will take more than a single approach to achieve, says Dr. William Valenti, senior vice president and co-founder of Trillium Health in Rochester.

One of the most promising tools in the arsenal is the FDA-approved drug Truvada.

The drug, commonly referred to as PrEP (Pre-exposure Prophylaxis), has been shown to reduce the risk of H.I.V. infection in healthy, at-risk people by 92 to 95 percent.

Trillium is one of six sites in New York participating in a study that will hopefully lead to expanded use of the drug, Valenti says. But there are stumbling blocks; critics say that the drug could encourage promiscuity, although Valenti says there’s no evidence to support that.

“I was naïve and I thought that PrEP, which is scientifically proven to work, would have people breaking down the door to try this,” Valenti says. “But it’s been the old adage of throwing a party and nobody came.”

Trillium has 50 patients in the study, Valenti says, though the goal is to have 100.

The drug has been in use for some time, usually as one of three drugs taken together

by AIDS patients in the “drug cocktail.” The pill, which must be taken daily, contains two anti-viral drugs that work to stop the virus

from multiplying and then kill it before it can attack the immune system.

PrEP, when used with condoms, could significantly help bring down the rate of new H.I.V infections in the US; the rate continues to hover around 50,000 annually.

In the old days of H.I.V. prevention, Valenti says, people were given a condom and expected to behave.

Free LED bulbs Small steps can add up when it comes to energy conservation.

Case in point: a Spencerport Municipal Electric initiative involving light bulbs. Residential and small business customers of the utility, which serves the village and part of Ogden, can get up to two LED light bulbs from Spencerport Municipal Electric at no cost. To fund the initiative, the utility set aside $30,000 from its energy efficiency program fund.

A post on the village website says that the 10 watt bulbs are dimmable and can replace typical 60 watt incandescent bulbs. And it says that homeowners could cut lighting-related electricity use by up to 80 percent if they replace all of their household’s bulbs with LED’s.

The upfront cost of LED bulbs is considerably higher than incandescent bulbs and some compact fluorescent lights.

But because of their efficiency, LED’s have one-quarter the operating cost of incandescent bulbs, according to the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority. They’re also more efficient.

LED bulbs last longer, too.

NYSERDA says that an LED bulb lasts between 30,000 to 50,000 hours, compared to 1,000 hours for an incandescent bulb and 10,000 hours for a compact florescent light.

INTERVIEW | BY JEREMY MOULE

Making climate a career It’s not easy to talk about climate change.

The fundamental premise sounds simple enough: decades of burning fossil fuels has unleashed vast amounts of carbon emissions into the atmosphere, causing global warming. But start getting into details about shifting precipitation patterns or cutting carbon emissions and people tune out. A small percentage will even insist that climate change isn’t a problem, despite overwhelming scientific evidence to the contrary.

Susan Spencer, a Rochester Institute of Technology Ph.D. student studying microsystems engineering, says she wants to talk to people about global warming.

She says she wants them to understand that climate change is a serious problem and that workable solutions exist — solar energy, for example. For the past four years, Spencer has been researching ways to improve organic solar cells at the molecular level, and is defending the thesis she wrote on that work.

“Not only do I care passionately about it [renewable energy] from an environmental perspective, I care enough about it that I’ve made it my career and my life purpose,” she says.

Earlier this summer, Spencer flew to Australia to spend two days in a training session led by former Vice President Al Gore and his Climate Reality Leadership Corps. She learned to use a massive slideshow that Gore developed for public presentations, and how to adapt it for different audiences. And she learned that it’s important to speak about climate change with both gravity and optimism.

Since returning, Spencer has used Gore’s slideshow during presentations she’s given in the Rochester area. She lays out the basics of climate change, and spells out the challenges for the Rochester region.

But she also highlights how Rochester’s manufacturing backbone, particularly Eastman Business Park, could be repurposed for solar development and manufacturing.

That’s the optimistic part of her pitch: Solar power is cleaner power, she says, but it also creates jobs and can drive economic growth.

And that’s right in line with the vision that local elected and economic development officials articulate for the business park.

“We want to be at the forefront of this technology and we are getting leapfrogged by China,” Spencer says.

But signing up to be a Climate Reality Leader is about more than talk. Spencer committed to 10 “Acts of Leadership,” which can be just about anything that advances the climate action cause. For example, she’s working with the Girl Scouts of Western New York — she leads her 13-year-old 6 CITY

daughter’s troop — to incorporate climate change into its science, technology, engineering, and math program.

Spencer is also working with the Rochester People’s Climate Coalition, which is assembling a local contingent to participate in the People’s Climate March on September 21 in New York City.

Ultimately, Spencer says that her role is to share and spread the facts about climate change and to be someone that the public, elected leaders, and planners can go to with questions.

“I think that can make a huge difference,” she says. “When you have somebody in front of you who has willingly committed to be there and is interested in helping you understand, I think people are really receptive to that.”

We recently spoke with Spencer about climate activism. An edited version of that conversation follows.

CITY: The training sounds like it was geared toward people already engaged in climate issues. Who attended?

Spencer: It was a mix of scientists, business leaders, students, teachers, social activists, environmentalists. And these were all people [who] had already done some volunteer work, so having already demonstrated a commitment and passion to doing something in their communities, as well as a commitment and passion to the cause of solving the climate crisis. So we all kind of had the same mentality, but there were radically different backgrounds.

At my table, I was with a woman from Pakistan — she was a university professor.

[There was an] Indian woman living in Hong Kong — she’s a stay-at-home mom, an activist; a Nepalese man living in Hong Kong who was a retired physician who now works with music charities; and then another guy who lives in Nepal, a guy from the UK, and then a guy from Afghanistan.

Talking about global warming in a way that gets people to listen is difficult. What did you learn about communicating on climate change?

Climate activist Susan Spencer. PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLIN

They stress that you have to speak about this simply but truthfully. The key things to get across are that global warming is real, humans are causing global warming, global warming is the main cause of the climate crisis, and that there are solutions that we can take now to mitigate the effects.

It’s absolutely critical to have a balance between communicating the dangers and the realness of the situation, but also infusing it with some hope. We try to get people aware and inspired and excited to make change.

Al Gore’s message has shifted significantly — and this is my interpretation, obviously.

He used to talk a lot about individual steps: change your light bulbs, drive a hybrid car, make sure your lights are off when you leave the house. Those are all great things; we should all be doing those.

But the climate leaders, we’ve also been tasked with getting a groundswell of popular support for meaningful policy action. We’re also there to educate, inspire, and bundle together voices. So, act as a conduit, act as a funnel for all of these people who do believe that climate change is real, because a lot of people do.

How should climate activists deal with deniers? Did the training address that?

Before I went to this training, I was against engagement. I did not support Bill Nye debating the creationist because you’ve given them equal time; you’ve let them share their views.

But the thing that Mr. Gore said was, if there’s one person out there listening who changes their mind because you debated, because you engaged, that’s a success story.

And the likelihood is there’s going to be more than one. Even if you’re just shaping their perceptions of how this problem needs to be addressed or how this problem was caused, that’s an impact.

It sounds like your interest in climate change and solar energy dovetail. How much potential does solar have for addressing climate change?

I think that all renewable energy technologies need to be used, but solar power comes from the biggest source of energy in our solar system. In one day, the amount of photons that hit our planet can power every single home in the world for a year. It’s free to access, it’s not dangerous to deal with in any way, and it is all over the planet.

Water power and wind power rely on the presence of a nice, big river or a specific geographical feature that’ll create lots of wind. Solar can be used anywhere — Germany proves that, right? It’s not exactly the Riviera, but they’ve just gone to over 50 gigawatts [of solar electricity generated in a year], which is an enormous amount of production.

Obama's ISIS policy continues from page 3

wants, but if people aren’t willing to fight and die for the regime, they cannot win.”

And that’s part of the problem in Iraq right now.

And, Zunes added, “massive” military force by the West “might create a backlash that could strengthen political support for the extremists.”

Still, in the face of an evil like ISIS, don’t we have to do something? The temptation to push for armed force is strong, in all of us. The threat – to stability in the Middle East, if not to our very selves – seems real.

That people are suffering is a fact. In the face of such things, military action provides exactly the emotional security we seek.

And taking swift and forceful shortterm action now, leaving the long-term consequences for later, seems safer than risking the dangers of slow, perhaps ineffective action.

It does not help that critical mid-term elections are a few weeks away, and every politician’s statement is crafted with those elections in mind.

The drumbeat for action – “the voices counseling panic,” as Paul Waldman put it in the Washington Post earlier this month – will continue, as reports of more atrocities hit the news.

“Forget about understanding the complexities of an intricate situation,” Waldman wrote, “forget about unintended consequences, forget about the disasters of the past that grew from exactly this mindset. We have to panic now.”

Some people are more confident than I am when they talk about our options with ISIS. Texas Senator Ted Cruz wants us to “bomb them back to the Stone Age.” Florida’s Marco Rubio, who blames Obama for letting ISIS take root by not intervening in Syria’s civil war, says that now we have to destroy ISIS and that we “cannot rule anything out.” Some liberal commentators are convinced that diplomatic efforts alone are the answer.

At this point, I don’t know what we should do. I am sure of one thing, though: Even if legally, Obama doesn’t need Congressional approval of his plan, he needs it politically, and the country needs it.

The president has made it clear that he anticipates a lengthy involvement. And it will be full of risks. Given that, Americans need, and deserve, a thorough, public debate on the topics like these: • Exactly what the risks are: the risks of both action and inaction.

• Why we’re going to do what Obama plans.

• What the threat from ISIS really is – and if it is a threat to the United States, what the evidence is.

Even if legally, Obama doesn’t need Congressional approval of his plan, he himself needs it politically, and the country needs it.”

• How our action will affect our ability to deal with such challenges as Vladimir Putin’s muscle-flexing; China’s muscleflexing; Ebola and other humanitarian crises; the increasing threat of cyber attacks; and our own enormous domestic needs.

• What involvement we expect, on all of the non-domestic fronts on that list, from other nations.

• What we will do if the Iraqi and Syrian-rebel troops aren’t able to defeat ISIS on the ground, despite our airstrikes.

• What we will do if we destroy ISIS but find that civil strife continues in Iraq and Syria, generating chaos, pain, and new terrorists.

• Specifically what will define success – and what we’ll do if we haven’t achieved success in three years. Or five years. Or….

Obama and the nation need that kind of discussion, so that we all understand what’s happening, and so that he has a united nation behind him in whatever action he takes.

Instead, members of Congress will spend the next month and a half campaigning, slinging mud and exaggerating and simplifying complex issues.

Meantime, with or without Congressional approval, President Obama is prepared to act. The result could be a lessening or eradication of the ISIS threat.

Or it could be the first stage of another decade-long, enormously expensive war.

With more explanation and evidence, I might be convinced that the president’s plan is the right one, and that it will be successful. At this moment, I’m not.

We have not built a great record when we have intervened in countries that have not attacked us. Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq seem to have taught us little. As we ramp up yet another war, we’ll have to hope that President Obama has outlined the right response to terrorism. Because whatever the result, this won’t be the last time we’ll be wrestling with this kind of challenge.

It’s likely that the masked fighters of ISIS are showing us the new face of war. rochestercitynewspaper.com

DEVELOPMENT | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

Edgewater to present designs for port development On Wednesday, September 17, Edgewater Resources will present its plan to transform the Port of Rochester from a mostly quiet river and beach area into a year-round destination resort with a hotel, shopping, restaurants, condominiums, marina, spa, and other amenities.

The City of Rochester has asked for a high-impact, transformational development, and Edgewater owner Gregory Weykamp says that he means to deliver.

That will include buildings that are eight to 10 stories high, Weykamp says. And for some Charlotte residents, you can stop right there.

“We don’t want it,” says Susan Miller, a member of the grassroots group Charlotte Strong. “We definitely, definitely do not want high-rises.”

Charlotte Strong formed because the Charlotte Community Association was not advocating strongly enough on the neighborhood’s behalf, Miller says. She says that Charlotte Strong has seven core members and between 300 and 400 supporters.

Sean Schiano of the community association says he hopes that people will at least hear Edgewater out and give the company a chance before making up their mind.

It’s understandable that Charlotte is not speaking with one voice on this issue, given the scale of the proposed project and its potential to permanently alter the character of the community. Supporters and detractors of Edgewater both say they believe they are representing the wishes of the majority of Charlotte residents.

And even within the groups themselves, there is disagreement. Some of Edgewater’s critics, for example, say that they support limited housing at the port. Others say they don’t want any development at all. Some who support development at the port — if not necessarily Edgewater as developer — say that the opposition is limited to a small but extremely vocal minority.

Weykamp has participated in public meetings and numerous public workshops and says that what people really want is a quality development.

“What we heard from the community time and again was, ‘We want it done right. The quality is the most important thing,’” he says.

To offset the cost of producing a topnotch project, he says, the buildings have to be of a certain height because people will pay for lake views.

“Views of trees obviously don’t command as much value as views of the lake,” he says.

“If it came down to a compromise where it has to be so low that we can’t do the quality, we wouldn’t do that. We would leave that to a different developer, because that’s not who we are. I also think it’s the wrong thing for Charlotte.”

SEPTEMBER 17-23, 2014

Edgewater got off to a difficult start when a project diagram, which Weykamp says was meant only as an internal planning tool, was made public. The diagram shows rather utilitarian-looking buildings in excess of 10 stories tall.

“That was presented and interpreted as a design, which it is not,” Weykamp says. “I think those are ugly drawings, too. I think it’s unfortunate how the graphics were rolled out, but I didn’t have anything to do with that. And we’ve been playing catch-up ever since.”

The diagram was made before the city chose a developer, Weykamp says. It doesn’t make sense to invest a significant amount of money in designs, he says, when you haven’t even been hired.

The development would be built in phases, Weykamp says, starting with a 40to- 60-room boutique hotel. Above the hotel would be 12 to 24 for-sale condominiums.

“That’s a small enough size; we know that’s not going to fail,” Weykamp says. “We know we can sell 12 to 24 units very, very comfortably.”

Those first condos would also give Edgewater crucial information, he says, such as which units sell first and fastest, and what buyers like and don’t like. They would also test the viability of the overall project.

The condos would probably start at around $200,000, Weykamp says, for a smaller, one-bedroom unit. The prices would increase with height and size all the way to the penthouse, which could go for more than $1 million, he says.

“What we always find is we have a lot of interest during the drawing phase, and then the first weekend the building’s open and people can get in and walk through the unit and take a look at the view and see the quality, all of a sudden you sell half a dozen units just like that.”

Although Edgewater’s marketing studies show that the market will support units at these prices, Weykamp says that the only study that really counts is the one that comes with a check attached.

“Until somebody does that, you don’t really know,” he says. “And I understand that people haven’t seen a project like this before.

But we’re confident.”

One of the main concerns that some of the critics have is that the new development

would block their views of the water — essentially selling the views to people who can afford hundreds of thousands of dollars for a condo.

“The Charlotte community has been saying for many years that it wants to maintain the maritime historical significance of the area and maintain vistas of the river, the harbor, and the lake,” says a document from Charlotte Strong.

“We want development that will fit our neighborhood,” Miller says. “It’s more like a village, not a downtown. For years, Charlotte residents have been saying no to high-rises.

Why are they pushing it on us?”

And when Weykamp says that the project would actually improve views that really aren’t that great to begin with, Charlotte Strong member Sue Roethel snaps back, “Better to whom? The people who buy the $1.2 million condos?”

One of Edgewater’s ideas, Weykamp says, is to create a low-level plinth on the building.

So the first couple of stories would front Lake Avenue, then there would be the plinth, and the rest of the building would go up and in, Weykamp says, so that Lake Avenue doesn’t feel too closed in or dense.

Weykamp and city officials reject the suggestion that the city is privatizing the port.

The marina would be open to the public and surrounded by a park and public promenade that connects the Genesee River Trail to the Charlotte pier. And Weykamp talks about a civic gathering space with a reflecting pool or skating rink as part of the project.

“You’ll be able to be at the corner of Lake and Hincher, look through a really nice space with nice restaurants on the side and activities and an ice rink in the winter kind of thing,” he says. “And look down and see the marina and the boats in the water. I really, sincerely believe that we’ll be creating better views than exist today.”

Low-income housing has come up repeatedly

during discussions of the port development.

The worry is either that the project will flop and Edgewater will resort to low-income housing to fill it up, or that Edgewater is being coy about its intentions and has planned to include low-income housing all along.

The concern appears to stem from the initial package that Edgewater put together for city officials, before the company was chosen to develop the port. The paperwork lists low-income housing tax credits as a possible funding source for the project.

Both Weykamp and city officials emphatically deny that low-income housing would be part of the project. Weykamp acknowledges the reference in the early paperwork, but says it was in response to the city’s request to identify all possible sources of funding.

“Some folks for whatever reason have just really latched onto that as proof that we’re going to do low-income housing,” he says.

“As I said time and again, we’re simply not here to do that.”

According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, only rental properties are eligible for federal lowincome housing tax credits. Rental units are not included in Edgewater’s plans.

The project is required to have some affordable housing, but under the city’s charter, affordable is defined as a person or family earning less than 120 percent of the median family income. That means that a family of four couldn’t earn more than $80,400 annually to quality for an affordable unit in the development.

And phasing the development in will test the viability of Edgewater’s broader plan for the port, Weykamp says.

“We’re not going to build everything at once,” he says. “That would be a silly thing to do from a development perspective, because you need to be responsive to the market.”

Everybody agrees on one thing, however: that

the port isn’t exactly alive with activity in the late fall and winter.

“What I really would like to see is more people down there in the wintertime,” says Schiano, of the Charlotte Community Association. “I personally love the water and the ice and the snow. It’s something that people don’t realize how beautiful it is.”

To Edgewater’s detractors, the fairweather nature of the port means there isn’t demand for a massive development project. They cite the failure of the city-subsidized Pier 45 restaurant at the terminal building as proof. The restaurant was billed as a way to get people down to the port in the off-season.

“None of these [port] places are packed in the winter,” Miller says. “This is not going to happen — I don’t care — until pigs fly.”

But Weykamp says you have to play the long game. The trick to making the port into

a year-round destination is to build density, he says, and that takes time.

“People ask me a lot of questions about parking,” he says. “I don’t mean to diminish the parking problems in the summer, but every resort community has parking problems in the summer. That’s just the nature of the beast.

What I’m really worried about is the empty parking spaces from September through May. In all seriousness, that is a much bigger problem for the community of Charlotte than a couple of months of parking trouble in the summer.”

You need to create a critical mass of residents, Weykamp says, so that restaurants and shops can stay open in the winter. Density is also how you disperse troublemakers, he says, and youth fighting has been a recurring problem at the port.

“You just need more people there,” Weykamp says.

Schiano says he just hopes that people give Edgewater a chance. The proposal deserves a fair vetting, he says, and then the community can make up its mind.

“I really wish that the entire community would listen to everything they have to say and not tune them out because a certain group doesn’t want this developer and they want to start the selection process over,” Schiano says. “I wish that everyone would listen and give everybody an opportunity to speak and be heard.”

Even if Edgewater doesn’t end up developing the port, he says, the company may have ideas that the community can use going forward.

But Miller and Roethel of Charlotte Strong say that there’s nothing to talk about.

They don’t trust Weykamp or Edgewater, they say, and that as long as the proposal includes buildings they consider high-rises, they will remain in opposition.

“My feeling is, what’s to think about?”

Miller says, citing the petition that Charlotte Strong gathered with more than 2,300 names asking the city for a new port developer.

“What’s to think about if the community does not want this? I’m no big business tycoon, OK? But my question is, what am I missing here?”

Weykamp says he knows there are some people he will never win over. But he says he believes there is strong support for his project. He says that his goal is to capture the authenticity of Charlotte — what makes it special. The neighborhood and the city may have lost industry over the years, Weykamp says, but the natural resources — the lake, the river, the beach — remain, though they are underused and undervalued.

“What’s special about this place is that history — the golden era of resorts when Charlotte was the Coney Island of the west,” he says. “Industries left, so what do you have left? The natural resources. They have a specialness and a character that make people want to go there. And that’s how we’ve been approaching this. I really feel comfortable that we’re on the right track.”

Edgewater Resources will present design concepts for the Port of Rochester from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, September 17, at Charlotte High School, 4115 Lake Avenue.

Dining Honest-to-goodness bagels Balsam Bagels 288 NORTH WINTON ROAD MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY: 6 A.M. TO 3 P.M.; SATURDAY AND SUNDAY: 7 A.M. TO 3 P.M. 482-5080; BALSAMBAGELS.COM [ REVIEW ] BY LAURA REBECCA KENYON

How are the bagels at Balsam Bagels? They are good — and not just by Rochester standards but by NYC-bagel-capital-of-theworld standards. If Balsam Bagels served its coffee in Greek-styled paper cups, it might be hard to remember which city you were standing in.

Balsam’s bagels are dense, tanned circles with a glossy, almost shiny, exterior; underneath, where the bagel touched the oven, it’s several shades darker. Look closely and you can see how the dough rose and stretched during the proofing process: an edible topographic survey.

When taking a bite, you break through a millimeters-thin layer of crispy crust, and its gentle crackle resonates. Especially when toasted, biting produces little flying shards of crust, like breakfast shrapnel. Chewing works your jaw. These are not airy, light, doughnut-shaped rolls. They are bagels: substantial, filling, and carb-laden.

Getting those critical bagel qualities down is a multi-step process. It starts by weighing ingredients then kneading them together, developing the flour’s gluten. The dough is allowed to rise before it’s shaped and proofed. During the proofing process, the dough relaxes, rises again and develops additional flavors through fermentation.

The raw bagels then take a quick bath in boiling water, which helps set the crust before baking. After this, they’re placed on burlap-covered straps and put on shelves in a commercial baker’s oven. The oven’s shelves circulate the bagels like kids on a Ferris wheel, and after a few trips, are ready to be eaten.

If you time it right, you can watch bagels being made on site at Balsam. And if you’re patient, you can get a bagel while it’s still warm.

Balsam has more than 20 types of bagels to choose from. The rye bagel is intensely flavored, slightly sour, and has a cool aftertaste. It’s studded with caraway seeds, which snap and pop between your teeth.

The pumpernickel bagel — which Balsam’s Facebook page gleefully reports as being German for “devil’s farts” — is more subtle

in flavor. The bagel is dark and cocoa-like in color, and would work well in a pastrami sandwich ($6.99 with one side).

The sundried tomato bagel is upfront with a warm and inviting flavor. With bits of tomato throughout the dough, the bagel reflects the fruit’s concentrated sweetness and umami. There’s another nod to Italy with the pesto bagel, which has an undercurrent of basil and grassy notes. While basil can generally be powerful, it’s subtle here and could even use a little more oomph.

The plain bagel is just that: plain, simple, and a vehicle for toppings. I prefer its cousin, the salt bagel, topped with crunchy and opaque salt crystals like you’d find on a soft pretzel. Admittedly, the salt bagel is just another way to get a creamyrich topping into your mouth, but I like the added texture and saltiness.

Though the cinnamon raisin bagels are sweeter than the savory bagels, you can’t call them sugary. There’s a measured use of cinnamon resulting in a bagel with friendly warmth. The raisins are pleasantly sweet — still, I wish there were a few more, and that they were plumper. Toasted and spread with butter, though, the cinnamon raisin bagel is hard to resist.

Its flashier cousin, the breakfast cinnamon raisin bagel, is sprinkled with cinnamon sugar before baking. The sugar makes the bagel a little sticky, a little crunchy and, of course, sweeter (which is right up my alley). I ate it as-is.

Bagels are 99 cents apiece, $5.49 for a half-dozen, and $8.99 for a dozen. Add cream cheese, however, and the price rises: a bagel with plain cream cheese is $2.75; with flavored or vegan cream cheese, it’s $3. That’s quite an upcharge for a restrained schmear.

The cream cheese served is Ontario, New York’s Lighthouse Cream Cheese, which is also available in 8-ounce tubs for $3.69.

There are upwards of 25 flavors to choose from, even a vegan option, though many of the choices start with plain cream cheese.

The plain has a nice, light tang with a balanced approach to salt. It’s thick and dense — fresh out of the refrigerator, you’ll need to exert a little effort to spread it.

Another standard, veggie cream cheese, is disappointing. It’s filled with finely minced bits of fresh vegetables but could use some onion to punch up the flavor. The maple pecan cream cheese, is a different story: it has a good maple flavor (derived from pancake, not actual maple syrup,

At Balsam Bagels, bagels will run you 99 cents apiece (top). Adding plain cream cheese will bring that up to $2.75. Also on the menu is the (bottom) spinach and cheese phyllo pocket.

Year of the Stef [ REVIEW ] BY ROMAN DIVEZUR

I was feeling hungry as I headed out to The Mighty Stef show at the Sticky Lips Juke Joint on Thursday night. It would be the final local concert for the Irish rock quartet.

The band made Rochester its home base during its North American tour.

When I caught The Mighty Stef ’s gig at Sheridan’s Pub on a hot August night, it completely blew my sock off — literally, I needed to remove a sock in the venue’s bathroom.

Would this concert blow my sock off again? Would the Mighty Stef go out in a blaze of Bar-B-Que smoke? The juke joint was jumping with fans ready for one more show.

The Mighty Stef’s set-up on the sticky stomp stage was minimal, down to the drum kit that only consisted of a floor tom and snare. Lead singer and guitarist Stefan Murphy wore a House of Guitars T-shirt while the rest of the band — Brian Farrell, drums, Gary Lonergan, bass, and Daniel Fitzpatrick, guitar — looked comfortable performing in front of the faithful.

The opening number, “Death Threats,” kicked things off. In a nutshell, “Death

Threats” demonstrated several truths about The Mighty Stef: The band has a knack for writing epic songs; sometimes there is a dark streak to the lyrics; and Stefan Murphy has a classic voice, while the cohesion of his band makes this group a great live act.

Although the band’s new album, “Year of The Horse,” had not officially dropped, the crowd seemed familiar with the material. A personal favorite, “Ceremony,” was reminiscent of Manchester bands circa 1979. Farrell pounded the snot out of his drums while Lonergan laid down a foundation of driving bass lines for Fitzpatrick’s hypnotic riffs.

When a bit of guitar jangle was added, it made The Mighty Stef sound like a country band. I could hear the ghost of Johnny Cash in between the notes of “Sunshine Serenade,” a tune that could have used a campfire.

The Mighty Stef’s set concluded with a vigorous rendition of U2’s “I Will Follow.”

Stefan Murphy kicked his guitar, Brian Farrell tipped over his drum kit at the end; the audience wanted more, but when a band does that, you don’t get an encore.

Music Wildly eloquent Matthew Shipp -Michael Bisio Duo FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19 BOP SHOP RECORDS, 1460 MONROE AVENUE 9 P.M. | $10-$20 | 271-3354; BOPSHOP.COM [ PROFILE ] BY RON NETSKY

There is little doubt that Matthew Shipp is among the most brilliant pianists in jazz. But over his three-decade career he has sparked no shortage of controversy due to his embrace of genres outside of jazz.

In the 1990’s he put out records on punk rocker Henry Rollins’ 2.13.61 label. He later performed and recorded with DJ Spooky.

“It just seemed right,” says Shipp, who visits the Bop Shop Friday for a duo performance with bassist Michael Bisio. “I always want to try something a little different. I more or less kept my own language. I wasn’t trying to sell out; I was trying to stretch the music somewhere else.

“Jazz is just like the clothes you wear; it’s not the body or the soul. It’s not about any style or genre, it’s about being expressive on the instrument. Anything that’s useful gets put in the pot.”

Growing up in Wilmington, Delaware, Shipp had early role models. His uncle, who just turned 100, played classical piano. And Shipp admired the organist at the family’s Episcopalian church. Meanwhile, at home, his parents were into “whatever jazz was hip,” Shipp says. His youth had a soundtrack of Dave Brubeck and Miles Davis albums.

Shipp’s pivotal experiences with jazz came by way of two concerts on public television when he was 12 years old. The first featured Nina Simone. “There was something dark and mysterious about her,” Shipp says. “It actually scared me. I remember thinking it’s powerful and otherworldly. I loved her singing and piano playing.”

Shipp says Simone “could take any song and create her own idiom. It’s like a Nina Simone idiom; it’s not even jazz. Other people like that are Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles and Bob Dylan.”

The second concert featured pianist Ahmad Jamal. “There was just something so cool about it and black about it too,” Shipp says.

Philadelphia was just 20-minutes away and, in his late teens, Shipp went there to study with Dennis Sandole, who had been John Coltrane’s teacher. Sandole taught him “that musical language is an infinite, elastic thing and the possibilities are endless. However, you must work your language until it is a part of you.”

Aside from jazz, Shipp was enamored with late classical music, especially that of composers like Alexander Scriabin. Elements of this are apparent in his music today. He was also well versed in the popular music of his time and, in a YouTube video of a concert with DJ Spooky, Shipp gets into a catchy groove reminiscent of a pop hit.

Despite the fact that his mastery of technique and broad knowledge of music would allow him to play any style, three decades into his career Shipp is known as an avant-garde jazz artist.

“I’ve always searched for my own language,” Shipp says. “I don’t really have a choice.”

Shipp’s new album is a solo affair titled “I’ve Been to Many Places.” The title tune and other intriguing originals are as much contemporary classical pieces as they are jazz, but Shipp would be the last to classify them. The CD also features personal interpretations of “Summertime,” “Naima,” “Tenderly,” and “Where Is The Love.”

His influences are numerous: Thelonious Monk, McCoy Tyner, Fats Waller, Andrew Hill, Lennie Tristano, Bill Evans, Paul Bley and, Shipp adds, the articulation of classical pianist

Glenn Gould. “But I would say my favorite pianist in the world is Bud Powell,” Shipp says. “His patterns are so fresh — they feel like brainwaves — and his pulse is so pure.

“Sun Ra is also a big influence in his overall philosophical way of looking at jazz and the way he synthesizes mysticism along with jazz within the character that he created for himself.”

In the video with DJ Spooky, Shipp alludes to past greats, “The ancestors,” saying, “I feel all those people alive in me when I’m playing.” He elaborates: “The language of the ancestors, it’s like food. You eat cabbage and it becomes your fingernails through some mysterious process.

When you study the past you’re actually eating it and digesting it into your system.

They’re a part of you; you’re a part of them.

We partake in that process: a jazz language photosynthesis of some sort.”

Shipp’s influences are not confined to music.

If you check out his performances online, the first video you’ll encounter is a rendition of “Greensleeves” reminiscent of John Coltrane’s treatment of “My Favorite Things.” In both cases, an artist with a unique style takes a

conservative tune and subverts it with a radical, yet strangely beautiful, approach.

Jabbing, thrusting, and crossing over, his arms leap around the piano in a manner that looks frenetic if not downright wild. But the notes he’s playing somehow make perfect sense.

“I’ve spent my whole life devoted to the piano,” Shipp says. “I know it and I feel I can give over control to a kind of subconscious process. I have complete and utter faith that some kind of musical structure will come about.

“It’s never just giving over to the id. No matter how outwardly it seems like the gestures might be crazy, I have faith in some kind of innate musical GPS that’s deep within me.”

To viewers of the video, it might appear that he is sparring with the piano. Shipp, who has written a poem titled “Jazz and Boxing,” embraces the connection.

“I view even the most abstract jazz as related to dance,” says Shipp. “Cecil Taylor is a big fan of dance and he always talks about how that was a big part of his music. I view boxing as a dance. It’s such a big part of my life. I’m such a big fan. I have been since I was five. It definitely somehow enters my subconscious mind.”

Though couched in a sort of self-induced irony, John Hiatt has always made perfect sense. He is a painfully honest, poetic, hysterical, and unparalleled American treasure.

Hiatt’s music still chugs along the tracks and dirt roads of classic American music. Before Americana was a term, Hiatt was. And after Americana gets swallowed up in another blanket genre, Hiatt will still be. Nobody turns a phrase over simple rock ‘n’ roll splendor like Hiatt. His latest stab at the truth is “Terms of my Surrender.” Show up, sing along, have a little faith.

ACOUSTIC | TOMMY EMMANUEL

ROCK | FREEMAN

When one of the greatest guitar players on the planet states that you’re the greatest guitar player on the planet, that’s something. And that’s precisely what the late Chet Atkins said about Aussie acoustic guitarist extraordinaire, Tommy Emmanuel. Dubbed “The guitar wizard of Oz,” Emmanuel’s jaw-dropping style is rhythmically and melodically complex yet still economical. The man picks with all ten fingers, creating a dizzying blur of notes that soar in and out of groove and light. I can only imagine the sound if he incorporated his toes.

Freeman marks a new chapter in the life of Aaron Freeman (aka Gene Ween). Arriving at this place in his career meant getting sober and disbanding Ween. Freeman’s new self-titled release is a soul-searching, soul-cleansing, fistful of songs and marks a new beginning for the fiercely popular underground artist. The album still burns with the Ween quirk amidst a new found placidity and peace.

Thrills in the dark “Wait Until Dark” THROUGH OCTOBER 5 GEVA THEATRE CENTER, 75 WOODBURY BOULEVARD TICKETS BEGIN AT $25 | 232-4382; GEVATHEATRE.ORG [ REVIEW ] BY DAVID RAYMOND

Until fairly recently, genre plays — romantic comedies, murder mysteries, and so on — were a theatrical staple, whether on Broadway or in community theaters.

Movies, and especially TV, gradually took them over (without making them any less formulaic). But the best of these plays are tidily written, and when they are well performed, they’re still entertaining.

Geva’s newest production, “Wait Until Dark,” brings back a pretty sturdy example of another genre, the thriller, cat-andmouse subdivision. And brings it back nicely. The 1966 play by Frederick Knott, who also wrote “Dial M for Murder”, has all the right jigsaw pieces presented in the right order: an innocent couple caught in a deadly plot; an urban setting; cops on the take; psychopathic villains; characters who seem extraneous to the story but end up to be central.

Here’s about as much of the story as I can give away: Susan (Brooke Parks) and her husband Sam (Remi Sandri), a photographer, have been unknowingly 18 CITY SEPTEMBER 17-23, 2014

caught up in a plot to smuggle diamonds, which have been sewn up in a doll which was slipped into Sam’s satchel. The doll is somewhere in their apartment, and two nasty, murderous thugs (Craig Bockhorn and Ted Koch) are determined to find it. They are aided by a more sympathetic character, Mike (Peter Rini), posing as a war buddy of Sam’s, and Susan is helped by a neighbor girl (Lauren Schaffel) who is supposed to take care of her but doesn’t do a very good job, at least at first.

The heroine, Susan, is blind, and ends up in a darkened apartment defending herself against the nastiest of the thugs in the cat-and-mouse game referred to above. This violent encounter, let’s be honest, is the one reason anybody does this play. It’s suspenseful and scary and plays skillfully on an audience’s fear of the dark (which, come to think of it, is where an audience should be).

Alfred Hitchcock didn’t direct the movie version of “Wait Until Dark” (he did direct “Dial M for Murder”), but he well might have — it has many of his hallmarks, even the MacGuffin, the thing everybody wants and that gets the plot going, in this case the doll with the diamonds. The play isn’t great literature, but it follows the rules of the game. The plot is nicely tied up, there are quite a few jokes to lighten (and sometimes enhance) the tension, and the right people are left at the end.

original play, but the adaptation by Jeffrey Hatcher that Geva is presenting seems like a clever and sensible job. Hatcher takes the original 1960’s setting and backdates it to 1944, adding a bit more psychological depth to the script and adding a film noir touch here and there. (Bringing the story into the present day is not an option, given the crucial importance of dial telephones in the story … and that’s all I will say, except to add that after you see this play you will never look at your refrigerator’s light bulb in quite the same way.) The clichéd characters come off better in the period setting, and moving to a time when blind people really were considered helpless points up Susan’s resourcefulness in outwitting her tormentors.

Director David Ira Goldstein puts an able cast through its paces effectively.

Convoluted thrillers can get very confusing very quickly, but the story is clear and well-paced, and Goldstein helps the actors to give some nuance to their roles. Brooke Parks is charming and clever as Susan, and she’s also pretty impressive when she becomes an avenging fury, butcher knife in hand. Parks’s naturalness and likeability make up for the slightly condescending treatment of the “plucky blind girl.”

As the object of Susan’s fury, Ted Koch brings a gravelly, Brando-like voice and an impressive creepiness to the role of a truly psycho killer. He enters in the first moments of the play, and you immediately know he is up to no good.

The rest of the cast basically supports these two and their inevitable battle. As the two other men in on the plot, Craig Bockhorn fits the template of the corrupt NYC ex-cop down perfectly, and Peter Rini makes an effectively deceptive nice guy as the most sympathetic con man (don’t worry, he’s not that sympathetic).

Remi Sandri is rather wasted in the role of Sam, who is something of a MacGuffin in the plot himself, and Lauren Schaffel is remarkably convincing as the bratty girl who redeems herself by helping Susan.

Given its modest setting of a basement apartment in Greenwich Village, Vicki Smith’s set for “Wait Until Dark” is an impressive one. It’s one of those realistic, detailed interior sets that Geva does so well; it also enhances the 40’s ambience in its lack of bright colors, and makes good use of a steep staircase, not to mention some all-important venetian blinds.

COMEDY | AMY SCHUMER

Comedian Amy Schumer had been on a steady rise for years — a successful appearance on “Last Comic Standing,” appearances in TV shows and movies, a steady slot on those Comedy Central Roast specials — but she virtually exploded in 2013 with “Inside Amy Schumer,” her sketch comedy series.

Not only is Schumer fearlessly hilarious with a nothing-issacred approach, talking about dating anxiety, bad sex, porn, city life, and the humdrums of modern adult life, but her show — one of the few female-driven writing teams on TV, with Jessi Klein and Tig Notaro — has done a lot in recent years to shine an overdue light on talented women in comedy.

Amy Schumer performs on Saturday, September 20, at the Auditorium Theatre, 885 East Main Street. 8 p.m. $32-$52.

Art Grasping at mist and debris “The Opposite of Concrete” THROUGH NOVEMBER 1 MAIN STREET ARTS GALLERY, 20 WEST MAIN STREET, CLIFTON SPRINGS TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY: 11 A.M. TO 6 P.M.; FRIDAY AND SATURDAY: 11 A.M. TO 7 P.M. | FREE | 315-462-0210; MAINSTREETARTSGALLERY.COM. [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Abstract art is a challenge to approach, and more than once I’ve overheard a frustrated dismissal of the entire genre. But the reward of spending time with a bewildering puzzle can be great.

The various reasons that abstract art is important are explored in a fascinating letter by art critic Jerry Saltz. Abstraction is a tool, “no less ‘real’ than philosophy or music,” he writes. “It can create beauty, alternative topographies, ugliness, and intense actualities from seeming nothingness.” In another section, Saltz calls Rothko’s glowing squares “Buddhist TVs,” and says they embody what Keats called “good oblivion.” I was made aware of this helpful piece of writing by renowned photographer Carl Chiarenza, whose work is included in a small group exhibit of abstract paintings and photographs currently on view at Main Street Arts Gallery.

Chiarenza’s portion of the show is a careerspanning sampling, including a bit of textural minutiae from before he abandoned the outside world in favor of his studio; his later meditative photos of chiaroscuro collages; as well as his newer collages, for which he carefully tore up and re-assembled some of his own photography.

These newer works, which each bear the name of a musician, such as “Rossini,” “Ludwig,” and “Brubeck,” are layered, visual soundscape-compositions, with complex dimensions and textures that often include an occasional uncharacteristic shot of color amid the silvers and grays.

Personal associations and reverie tend to surface when I look into Chiarenza’s emotionally evocative dreamscapes.

“Menotomy 340” and “Noumenon 148,” created in 1982 and 1987, respectively, each feature gracefully balanced, layered shapes.

The first contains shimmering forms that bring Giacometti’s figures to mind, and the latter pairs soft contours with hard edges and a drop off into darkness. Everywhere, patterns abound, light catches the buckled 20 CITY SEPTEMBER 17-23, 2014

edges of metallic, softly crinkled surfaces, and downy fibers wisp, mist-like, between the realms of light and shadow.

Ithaca-based artist Sarah Sutton’s oil-on-

panel works are painstaking studies of the topography of crumpled magazine images.

In this constructed sea of chaos, forms rise and dissolve as the eye navigates the peaks and ravines, tunnels and waves created by the wads of glossy paper.

By frustrating our instinct to find pattern and meaning in a complex world, Sutton says her work alludes to the “possibility of unintelligibility within the inundation of images that characterizes our current cultural landscape.” In “So Your Light May Shine,” a network of paper edges and creases pop like bright veins, dividing the planes of recognizable but obfuscated images of hair, flesh, and clothing.

Sutton’s “Interstice (1-3)” is even more intriguing. In this large, grayscale triptych, she un-empties the small spaces between objects or points in time. Each of three linen panels is overrun with indefinite gestures of light, dust, webbing, detritus, and growth.

Patricia Wilder’s photographs remind me of a passage from Hermann Hesse’s “Steppenwolf,” in which the cultureharried character notes the serene pleasure with which his eyes greet the rough surface of an age-worn stone wall, free from the deliberate arrangement of shouting design.

Wilder has a knack for finding fascination in bits of visual white noise within the urban setting, and her minimalistic emphasis on line, color, and texture is never without a keen sense of balance.

A quad of vibrant, red images showcase small sections of water-damaged walls with peeling paint and pitted surfaces. Here, I detect a smiling face, a streak of heavenly light, a presence, and an act of censorship.

Blurry borders between this and that are explored in a grid of nine saturated, Rothkoesque “Color Fields,” which, like the rest of Wilder’s images, were created without color manipulation. “Oracle” is like a revelation, a sneaky pop of unexpected violet on the other side of a monotonous, pale wall, seen through the thick tunnel of a small, rough window.

Rochester artist Karen Sardisco’s large scale,

acrylic-on-paper paintings feature layers of linear symbolic forms. Symbols may be representational images, but symbols taken out of personal context are abstractions of private memory and understanding. “In my

Patricia Wilder’s photography is part of a small group show of abstract photographs and paintings, currently on view at Main Street Arts Gallery in Clifton Springs. PHOTO PROVIDED

work natural structures collide with manmade forms to allude to bonds that would be unrecognizable in different situations,” Sardisco says in the provided artist statement.

Hearts and knots and geometric forms float amid streaks of murky pigment like diatoms enlarged under a microscope, suspended for our scrutiny, or the scrutiny of memory looking “back at recollections that are now incomplete,” she says.

The work of Canandaigua-based artist and Main Street Arts gallery director Bradley Butler resonated powerfully with me when I first viewed it in a 2008 solo show. His work contained foreboding washes of dark seas and swallowing skies, sounding the alarm on the disastrous projections of climate change.

Though the forecasts for our future haven’t brightened, Butler’s work has become even more engaging as it became even less representational

and less anxious. By using his curiosity to push through his dread, he seems to have found security and freedom in losing sight of shore.

In Butler’s “Intentionally Losing Direction,” portals peek through a smoke-thick atmosphere, and stepping stones save us from a sherbet swamp but lead nowhere in particular. “The Mirage of Truth” contains a brightly amorphous, tempting dream on the horizon, snaking through the dark and beckoning, out of focus as if seen through a shimmering heat wave.

“The Impossibility of Understanding” is like an expanded, philosophic glimpse at the flow of form and energy, each affecting each other subtly, but it’s all too complex and too big to see a pattern at this level. Though the titles read like a shrug, Butler’s works aren’t exactly about futility, they’re affirmations of defiant wonder. I feel a nagging urge to zoom out, to see more of it all.

FILM | “DAVID BOWIE IS”

David Robert Jones traveled a long, bizarre road from his days as young bari sax player and mime, to a folk singer, internationally known space-age rock and film star, to the legend-married-to-an-iconic-model that he is today. The retrospective exhibition, “David Bowie is,” created by the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, explores his life through his edgy accoutrements, featuring a fascinating collection of photographs, stage costumes, and other rare possessions from the David Bowie Archive. A documentary film about the exhibition will be screened in 100 select movie theaters across the U.S. on Tuesday, September 23, to coincide with the exhibition’s opening at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago.

The film features special guests, including legendary Japanese fashion designer Kansai Yamamoto, Pulp front-man Jarvis Cocker, and other collaborators, to explore the stories behind some of the key objects that document Bowie’s artistic career.

Exhibition curators Victoria Broackes and Geoffrey Marsh explore the creativity and evolution of Bowie’s ideas through memorable music videos, original costumes, handwritten lyrics, album cover artwork, set designs, and diary entries.

The Rochester screening will take place at The Little Theatre, 240 East Avenue, at 7 p.m. Tickets are $14 for general admission, and $12 for members, seniors, and students with ID. For more information, call 258-0400, or visit thelittle.org.

THEATER | “THE LIFE OF GAUTAMA BUDDHA”

The story of Prince Siddhartha’s physical and spiritual journey to becoming Gautama Buddha is a compelling one in any format. This weekend you can see it take theatrical life in the Theatre World production “The Life of Gautama Buddha,” presented by India Community Center at the Nazareth College Arts Center. The show promises to be “a visual work of art,” telling the story of Buddha’s path, from royalty to humility, to the Middle Way to Nirvana, through music, dance (choreographed by Santosh Nair), and language. It’s a good introduction for non-Buddhists, and a reminder that all theater started as religious ceremony.

[ REVIEW ] BY GEORGE GRELLA

Geneseo Square Mall, 243-2691, rochestertheatermanagement.com

Aside from its value as a work in and of itself, “The Drop,” rather like another fine recent movie, “A Most Wanted Man,” constitutes a kind of mixed blessing. It presents audiences once again with the ambiguous, bittersweet gift of an opportunity to witness the last performance of a talented, accomplished performer, in this instance the late James Gandolfini. Like those arts that preserve a moment of time, the

cinema suggests that there is a life after death.

That art is long if life is short.

As the narrator/protagonist, Bob Saginowski (Tom Hardy), informs us, the title refers to the Brooklyn tavern where he works as a bartender for his cousin Marvin (Gandolfini). Cousin Marvin’s is a drop bar, a place where various criminals connected to the Chechen mob drop off illicit cash. Marvin acts as a sort of safe deposit box and bank, keeping the money temporarily, transferring it to others, passing it up the ladder to the boss, in this case a Chechen gangster named Chovka (Michael Avonov).

The movie opens with Bob buying a round of drinks for the regulars in memory of a friend, Richie Wheeler, killed 10 years earlier, a gesture that in effect explains itself in a violent climactic sequence.

Later, two other, seemingly unrelated incidents trigger a surprisingly complicated plot beneath the deceptively simple surface. Two armed, masked thugs hold up the bar, taking over five thousand dollars of the Mob’s

stored cash, and Bob finds a bruised and beaten puppy in a garbage can.

As if this tough little picture were a mundane romantic comedy, the discovery of the puppy leads Bob to meet Nadia (Noomi Rapace) and to an odd, tentative relationship between them. The puppy also, however, brings a vicious psychopath, Eric Deeds (Matthias Schoenaerts), Nadia’s exboyfriend, into their lives. Rumored to be the murderer of Richie Wheeler, Deeds threatens both Bob and Nadia, claiming the puppy as his dog — with proof of ownership — and promising to recover it, then torture and kill it unless Bob pays him a large amount of money.

At the same time, another complication involving Marvin’s connection to the stolen cash opens up more difficulties for Bob. Thanks to the Chechens, a really nasty bunch, the money turns up at Cousin Marvin’s in a bag, along with one of the robber’s severed arm, and another murder reveals yet further dimensions to both the characters and the history behind Marvin’s own character.

Everything comes clear when the film completes a full circle, culminating in a scene in the bar on Super Bowl Sunday that somehow seems both surprising and inevitable.

In that climax the script unites all its various threads of character and motivation, bringing together Bob, Nadia, Deeds, and Marvin, and even explaining the 10-year-old murder mentioned in the opening sequence. Its violence, as a result,

The hundred-foot old lady “My Old Lady” (PG-13), DIRECTED BY ISRAEL HOROVITZ OPENS FRIDAY AT THE LITTLE THEATRE AND PITTSFORD CINEMA

“The Hundred-Foot Journey” (PG), DIRECTED BY LASSE HALLSTRÖM NOW PLAYING [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

justifies itself without in any way providing an easy way out or a pat version of closure.

“The Drop” functions with a sense of absolute precision and control that permeates every element of the film. The actors deliver the script’s gritty dialogue with a kind of eloquent understatement, creating some powerful moments and meanings through pauses and silences as much as through the words themselves. The working-class Brooklyn neighborhood, the interiors of the houses, the particular domestic lives of its people, Cousin Marvin’s bar itself all create an impressive and convincing reality.

Without glamor or exaggeration the whole cast participates in the intense emotions that lie beneath the bleak surface of the action, virtually sinking into the context of time and place. The actors speak the script’s gritty and often menacing dialogue with an eloquent understatement more unsettling than the posturing and shouting of so many second-rate crime dramas.

A long way from Tony Soprano, James Gandolfini plays a bitter, disappointed crook, remembering his glory days, regarding the world and its people with unabated scorn. Sharing the screen with a presence as strong and defined as Gandolfini, Tom Hardy more than holds his own, carving out his own character, an apparently passive, barely articulate victim of circumstances who reveals a dark history in the film’s climactic sequence. Despite Gandolfini and an excellent cast, he really makes “The Drop” a gripping, completely engaging work, a genuine gangster movie.

Making his filmmaking debut at the age of 75, “My Old Lady” finds veteran playwright Israel Horovitz adapting from his own 2002 play. Kevin Kline plays Mathias (though he prefers to go by Jim), an uptight New Yorker who finds that he’s inherited an apartment in France from his estranged, recently deceased father. Thricedivorced, broke, and a recovering alcoholic with only a number of unpublished novels to show for it, Mathias hopes to sell the apartment for a tidy sum and make a fresh start with the earnings. But upon arrival, he’s shocked to find 92-year-old Mathilde (Maggie Smith) residing in the apartment.

Mathilda explains that she comes as sort of a package deal with the property due to viager, a nutty French real estate agreement in which the buyer of a property pays a monthly fee to the seller, who’s allowed to

continue living in the property, and the buyer only gains possession of the property once the seller has died — the idea being that the buyer is gambling that they’ll get the property for a bargain, so long as the seller kicks off fairly quickly. It’s an arrangement Mathilda had reached with Mathias’ father, and seeing as how it means Mathias has basically inherited a debt, he views it as the final insult of their rocky relationship. To complicate matters further, Mathilde also lives with her overly protective daughter, Chloé (Kristin Scott Thomas), who has her own hopes of gaining ownership of her beloved family home.

At first glance, the setup seems tailormade for whimsy and sitcom-y laughs, but Horovitz has a bit more on his mind, and the story wades into darker territory than you might expect. While the first half of the film gets bogged down in bureaucratic real estate mumbo-jumbo, as Mathias tries to finagle a deal to rid himself of the apartment for a profit, “My Old Lady” only grows more compelling as it goes on. Their close proximity leads Mathias to discover exactly how close Mathilda’s relationship was with his father, uncovering seething familial resentments, and eventually leading him to fall off the wagon.

Horovitz makes for a perfectly adequate film director, though the story maintains a stagey theatricality, with the actors delivering lengthy monologues that likely played better on the stage. And though things wrap up a bit too tidily, the marvelous performances from all three leads are what truly resonate.

Feeling very much like a throwback to

Manish Dayal and Charlotte Le Bon in “The Hundred-Foot Journey.” PHOTO COURTESY TOUCHSTONE PICTURES

the Oscar-baity films Miramax put out with great frequency in the late 90’s, “The Hundred-Foot Journey” bears more than a passing resemblance to films like “Chocolat” and “The Cider House Rules”; movies that have a tendency to feel more like comforting bowls of chicken soup than actual films (though there’s no denying that sometimes it is exactly what hits the spot). So it’s no

surprise to find that Swedish director Lasse Hallström, the filmmaker responsible for both of those much-loved films, is also behind this latest cinematic concoction.

Once again showing us how food has the power to unite even the most diametrically opposed individuals, “The Hundred-Foot Journey” tells the story of an Indian family forced to flee their home by circumstances beyond their control. When their car breaks down in a small village in France, Papa Kadam (Om Puri), takes it as a sign and decides to set up shop, opening a restaurant highlighting the food made by his son, Hassan (the distractingly attractive Manish Dayal), a talented cook with aspirations of becoming a chef.

The only problem is the location he’s chosen happens to be directly across the street from a revered, Michelin-starred restaurant run by Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren, showing remarkable restraint in a role that could easily have been played as scenery-chewing caricature). The snobbish Madame Mallory looks down on the family; their loud music and spicy food is at odds with her more refined style of classical French cuisine. From there, the plot proceeds as you would expect, with the chefs feuding and butting heads before (spoiler for anyone who’s never seen a movie before) ultimately learning to embrace what makes each other’s culture unique. Though before reaching that point, the plot veers into a third act where the film gets oddly judgey about molecular gastronomy, and how it (in the story’s eyes) lacks the soul of “real” cooking. There’s also an appealing romance plotline between Hassan and Madame Mallory’s sous chef, Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon), who has her own aspirations of career advancement.

“The Hundred-Foot Journey” makes for perfectly pleasant viewing, but things only truly come to life during the film’s many scenes of tantalizing meals and lovingly-photographed produce. For the film about bold flavors and the spice of life, this “Journey” too often tastes frustratingly bland.

Happy and Healthy in Highland Park 45 Bellevue Drive One could handily argue that Bellevue Drive, in Rochester’s Highland Park neighborhood, is one of the most beautiful streets in town. What makes it so? For starters, a rare cul-de-sac configuration, towering shade trees, creative front gardens, and bona fide style cred—including a Claude Bragdon-designed home, one of two residences on the street opened to the public in June for The Landmark Society’s House and Garden Tour.

doors, a bonus front room with a vaulted ceiling and loads of natural light.

The location offers everything a city homeowner could want. The Doctor’s Road entrance to Highland Park lies directly across the street from Bellevue Drive.

Stroll two minutes on foot and you can either give yourself over to the illusion of being solitary in a great pine forest or be headed down South Avenue in search of sushi, dessert, food trucks, craft cocktails, or a beer garden. The Highland Park Neighborhood Association fosters a strong sense of community and provides plenty of neighborhood events throughout the year.

Converted to a two-family dwelling in the 1980s, the home is currently owner-occupied on the first floor, while the upper floors are rented out at over $1000/month. Conversion back to a single family would be relatively easy, as little of the original infrastructure has been disturbed. At a generous 2,665 square feet, the house in its present configuration boasts 5 bedrooms, 2 kitchens, and 2.5 baths. Other comparably sized, single-family houses on the block are valued much higher than number 45’s list price of $184,900.

The American Foursquare at 45 Bellevue was built in 1920, about thirty years after the park’s first lilac collection was planted.

Its recently painted shingles; wide, wooden eaves; and original 6-over-1 windows are classic Craftsman. Highlights on the first floor include hardwood floors, a large living room with a hefty brick fireplace flanked with built-in bookshelves, and, through a pair of French

Features of the second floor include the original linen closet, a generous sleeping porch, and a charming vintage bath. The attic has been nicely converted to additional living space. Outdoors is a tidy patio with space for eating and lounging. A two-car garage abuts the backyard and runs along Bellevue Alley, providing easy access to South Avenue.

To schedule a showing of this lovely residence, call Carl Hopfinger of Red Barn Properties at 585-381-2222. You could be home by winter, and cross-country skiing and sledding in the park, right from your front door.

A Nerd’s Rhapsody

Nicholas Felton’s latest annual recap of his personal communications data is now available, for just $30. Key findings, graphically presented, of Nicholas’ busy 2013 (according to a report

by FiveThirtyEight.com): He received 44,041 texts and 31,769 emails, had 12,464 face-to-face conversations and 320 phone calls (all detailed by communicatee, from where, at what time, in what language). He reported 385 conversations, for example, with female cashiers, and that 54,963 exclamation points were used across all methods of written communication. (The 2012 report went for $35, but is, along with 2010 and 2011, “sold out,” according to feltron.bigcartel.com). [FiveThirtyEight.com, 8-24-2014]

Can’t Possibly Be True — The U.K.’s Barnet Council got

aggressive in August against a landlord in Hendon, in north London, who had defied an earlier order to stop offering a too-small apartment for residential rental. Landlord Yaakov Marom said tenants were still eager for the room even though the entryway required most people to drop to all fours, since it was less than 28 inches high (and therefore a fire-code violation). Council officers checking on the earlier order against Marom found a couple still residing there, paying the equivalent of $685 a month. [The Guardian, 8-22-2014] — When he was 19, Rene Lima-Marin (with a pal) robbed two Aurora, Colorado, video stores at gunpoint and, winning no favors from the judge, received backto-back sentences totaling 98 years. In 2008, eight years into the sentence,

Lima-Marin was mistakenly released and until this year was a model citizen, employed, married with a son, on good terms with his parole officer. However, the mistake was found in January, and he was returned to prison, and according to his lawyers in their August appeal, the original sentence has been reimposed, thus moving his release date to the year 2104. [KMGH-TV (Denver), 8-22-2014] — Among the more than 350 convicted violent felons whose right to carry guns has been restored over the past six years by the state of Georgia were 32 who had killed another person and 44 who were sex offenders, according to an August report in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. As pointed out by ThinkProgress. com, among those who once again can carry is Dennis Krauss, a former Glynn County police officer convicted of raping a woman after a traffic stop. According to the 2003 Georgia Court of Appeals decision affirming his conviction, Officer Krauss had drawn his service weapon and said he wanted to anally penetrate the woman with it. (However, he was convicted only for his extortionate demand for sex.) [Atlanta Journal-Constitution, 8-23-2014] — On Aug. 21 and 22, in front of Linwood Howe Elementary School in Culver City, California, traffic officials posted a towering parking regulation sign pole (reportedly, 15 feet high) with at least eight large white signs, one on top of the other — in familiar red or green lettering, restricting access to the school’s curb lane. Each sign contains orders either to not park or to park only under certain conditions, each with its specific hours or other fine-print limitations. The mayor ordered the signs replaced on Aug. 22.

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 30 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): You will attract partners readily if you engage in projects or causes that allow you to show your talents and your ability to be diverse, fun-loving and productive. Don’t let a negative friend stand between you and your happiness. Expand your horizons and be a participant.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t be afraid to share your feelings, desires and plans for the future. Someone you meet at a lecture, conference or attending a social event will have similar plans and find you perfect in every way. Take a leap of faith and join forces, and you will find happiness.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Get involved in something you believe in wholeheartedly, and you will attract someone who can match your every move.

Love may not be at first sight, but it will grow on you through communication and common interests. Mental stimulation will lead to a deeper physical bond.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Pick your partners wisely. Avoid anyone who is too unpredictable or disagrees with you too much. Don’t let the physical attraction be what reels you into a relationship that has nothing to offer emotionally or mentally.

Look for greater stability, not a roller coaster ride.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll be in the driver’s seat when it comes to attraction and rejection. Remember that you are dealing with people’s feelings, so don’t lead someone on if you have no intentions to follow through with an intent to form a relationship. Your propensity for variety should be divulged before making a move.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll charm everyone you meet with your loyalty, emotional sensitivity and passionate approach to life, love and happiness. You don’t have to push your way into someone’s heart -- just be yourself, talk about your personal plans and everything will fall into place.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Keep your emotions tucked away, or you may send the wrong signal.

Bide your time and look at all the possibilities before you pick someone to help you fulfill your dreams. Use your sophisticated intelligence to attract someone who can help you acquire the standard of living you desire.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t go overboard when looking for love. Too much bravado will lead to disappointment. Wear you heart on your sleeve, be original and approach whoever interests you with mysteriously honest vibe. It’s separating yourself from the crowd that will grab someone as unique as you to your side.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Tread carefully. You are likely to attract partners who have a whole different perspective when it comes to love, romance, integrity and ethics. Lay your cards on the table, and you will weed out anyone who is too possessive, jealous or overbearing to partner with you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Put a dollar value on relationships, and you will avoid being taken for granted. Your desire to please will attract someone who is willing to take whatever you have to give. Look for someone who can offer equality instead of someone who wants to be with you for what you have.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Consider an old flame who you can’t stop thinking about or who you thought you’d end up with. Timing is important, and bringing someone from your past back into your life will help you move forward or allow you to let go so you can look for someone new.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Let your emotions and intuition guide you to the person who treats you the best instead of allowing your insecurity and chemistry to draw you to someone reckless and abusive.

Respect yourself, and expect the same from whomever you choose to be with.

THE GIFT OF WISDOM Mindfulness is the art of conscious living.

We are born philosophers, because we are trial and error creatures who have an inborn love of doing things with increasing wisdom rather than diminishing wisdom. And for some people, the honing and refreshing of the ways and principles by which they lead their lives, is a serious and inspiring undertaking – a philosophy of self-realization and liberation.
