Highland needs to curb smoking

“CITY’s generous support of The Strong’s first-ever adults-only, after-hours event, The Happiest Hour, helped to make the evening an overwhelming success.

I read Dr. Megan Betteley Wang’s letter (Feedback, September 23) on behalf of Highland Family Medicine residents expressing their deep sadness about violence in our community. I am grateful for her feelings and feel confident that many medical professionals and staff at Highland Hospital are of great service to friends and families left behind. But in the US, nearly three times as many people are killed by secondhand smoke as are killed by homicides. And that’s why I bring up the smoking by Highland Hospital employees on Mt. Vernon Avenue sidewalks outside the cancer center. The surgeon general says that no level of secondhand smoke is safe and that even occasional exposure can lead to permanent harm, including death. Dr. Thomas Friedman of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene concludes that half of nonsmokers in New York City have elevated levels of nicotine in their blood primarily due to sidewalk smoke. I am upset that Highland Hospital brings such danger into my neighborhood. I cannot bicycle, run, or walk on Mt. Vernon because of the assault by deadly secondhand smoke. I have to roll up my windows when I drive by. Can you imagine how demoralizing it is to have an appointment at the cancer center and have to go through that smoke? I don’t know how they did it, but Strong got the smokers off of Elmwood Avenue. Many medical centers have made nonsmoking a requirement for new hires,
and a few have required employees to quit smoking. Highland Hospital should be responsible for finding a place for their smoking employees that does not harm people in the neighborhood. Perhaps they could bus employees elsewhere to smoke on breaks. Or they could create some place on the grounds where the smoke would be captured and not harm nonsmokers. Instead, Highland has installed smokers’ stations along the sidewalks. Banning smoking on the grounds of Highland Hospital and encouraging smoking in areas that assault neighbors with deadly secondhand smoke should not be an option! I encourage Dr. Betteley Wang and the residents of Highland Park Family medicine to find a way to stop hospital employees from harming neighbors with secondhand smoke. STEVE DERNÉ
What do we do about guns?
I came upon the president’s talk after the Oregon tragedy and stopped to watch. I was deeply saddened but not surprised by how discouraged the president is. He calls on responsible gun owners to make their beliefs heard, as opposed to what the gun lobby claims they believe. But I think the president knows the reality, and how most gun owners, and people everywhere, will be silent and do nothing. It is all so routine, as he said. The killing is not over, as expressed in story after story. One question for which we may not have answers, and/or do not want to face the answers because they cause major discomfort: What do we do that is relevant? That just might make a difference? And what do we do which simply dodges or serves to help distract, go for easy answers and jokes and amusement, while the awful, painful realities are not faced? Let the other guy do it. We’re much too busy. MARTIN FASS

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
Abortion rights limits are indeed attacks on women A lot of things have been caught up in the conservative wave roiling Congress and the presidential campaign right now, but two of the most serious are women’s health care and medical research. Both are threatened by the attacks on abortion rights and Planned Parenthood. Abortion is a difficult, emotionally charged issue, and the anti-abortion movement has intimidated many people into silence. It’s hard to speak out for something that opponents insist is infanticide. And so facts and medical science get shoved to the side. The facts are that a woman is not simply a childbearing apparatus, not all pregnancies are wanted or will be successful, and abortion is a vital women’s medical and family-planning procedure. Women for whom an unintended pregnancy will change career or education plans; women who don’t have the financial ability or the emotional strength to care for another baby; women who have been raped; women who have been told that their fetus is severely damaged; women for whom pregnancy and childbirth would be dangerous; women who learn that their baby, carried to full term, will die soon after birth: women who are considering an abortion don’t need lectures. They need the advice and counseling of medical professionals. And they need proper, legal, medical care. Most women seeking an abortion are already mothers – 61 percent, according to the Guttmacher Institute. Thirty percent already have at least two children. These women know what pregnancy and childbearing are. And women are not naïve. We have an intimate knowledge of our reproductive system. We spend 40 or more years experiencing a messy, inconvenient, sometimes embarrassing, often painful reminder of how our reproductive system works. We worry about it: about unplanned pregnancy, about unsuccessful pregnancy, about ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, cervical cancer. But facts, personal stories, and conservatives’ concern about government intrusion into people’s lives have done nothing to soften the commitment of those in the anti-abortion movement. And so the movement’s success has grown, with state after state passing laws that restrict women’s access to abortion. “So far this year states have enacted 51 new abortion restrictions,” says a July report from the Guttmacher Institute. Eleven states ban abortion after 20 weeks. A Kansas law, now being challenged, bans abortion after 14 weeks. Twenty-five
Women considering an abortion don’t need lectures. They need the advice of medical professionals. And they need proper, legal, medical care.” states have laws mandating unnecessary staffing requirements or expensive physical changes at clinics, which has reduced the number of abortion providers. And now, thanks to conservatives’ abhorrence of Planned Parenthood, the attack has encompassed fetal tissue research. Fetal tissue has been invaluable in medical research. It was fetal tissue that was used in the development of the first polio vaccine. It is being used for research into birth defects, cancer, brain development, heart disease, Parkinson’s disease, and many other diseases and disorders, notes the National Institutes of Health. But state legislators in Wisconsin and Ohio want to ban research using the tissue, a Politico article reported earlier this month, and several other states already limit scientists’ access to it. Women’s bodies are marvelous things, critical partners in the creation of human life. But this is a partnership in which women bear the largest responsibility. We can’t create life by ourselves, but once the process is set in motion, it’s all up to us. And that is a burden that only women bear. If we value life, as people on both sides of the issue do, surely we value the vulnerable vessel that harbors and nourishes and encourages life as it is beginning, and we should provide health care to protect it. And surely we value the research that can lead to medical progress for all of us. But given the growing strength of the conservatives in Congress and the growing hostility among the Republican presidential candidates, there’s little chance that the attacks – on women’s health, on Planned Parenthood, on vital medical research – will ease off. These are troubling, scary times.

Moran to lead gun court
Local officials announced a new gun court that is supposed to provide consistency in cases involving illegal guns in Monroe County. State Supreme Court Justice Thomas Moran will be in charge of the court, which will begin on November 9. The court is expected to handle between 200-300 cases a year. Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren stated her intention to form the court after an August drive-by shooting on Genesee Street that killed three people.

A tenant for STAMP
A Massachusetts-based solar tech manufacturer, 1366 Technologies, will be the first tenant in the Western New York Science, Technology, and Advanced Manufacturing Park in rural Genesee County. The company could invest as much as $700 million at the site, though its initial investment will be $100 million. It has pledged to create at least 600 jobs, and will receive up to $98 million in state and county tax incentives.

US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand was in Rochester last week to talk about gun violence. FILE PHOTO
For example, US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand sponsors a bill that would make gun trafficking a federal crime. Guns are often purchased legally in one state, she says, then transported and sold illegally in other states. Federal law treats those sales, at best, as a minor crime, she says. Gillibrand held a roundtable discussion in Rochester last week about the bill and gun violence. The event included local law enforcement and members of the community. “I think if we create the outcry in our own communities, it can be replicated in other communities” which will help create political support for meaningful gun control legislation, Gillibrand says. In Rochester, approximately 60 percent of the crime guns recovered by police were at some point legally owned in Monroe County, says Police
Chief Michael Ciminelli, although some do come from out of state. He backs Gillibrand’s legislation because it’d allow for broader federal efforts against illegal guns, he says. “It’s another tool,” Ciminelli says. County Legislator Ernest Flagler-Mitchell, whose cousin was killed in a recent city shooting, said that keeping people safe starts with keeping guns out of the wrong hands. He’s working on legislation to create a county-wide safe storage law for guns, which he plans to release this week. Flagler-Mitchell’s proposal is welltimed. Last week, an 11-year-old boy in Tennessee allegedly shot and killed his neighbor, an 8-year-old girl, after an argument over a puppy. The boy allegedly used his father’s shotgun, which was reportedly stored in an unlocked closet.

Regionally, thousands of middle-skills jobs go unfilled. And that number should grow because more people are retiring than entering this segment of the job market. But MCC still has trouble filling career-oriented courses, even if students are guaranteed a job at the end.
JOBS | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN
Filling the gap before the middle-skills gap People in the Rochester region need jobs. Employers in the Rochester region need middle-skills workers. Yet thousands of machinist, lab technician, and dental assistant positions — to name a few — go unfilled because employers say they can’t find people with the right education and training. Monroe Community College’s accelerated certificate programs are an attempt to get people into those jobs — quickly. But the school has trouble filling the courses, even if all expenses are paid and students are guaranteed a job at the end. MCC is trying to do something about that by offering a new, 10-week “bridge” program to help prepare students for enrollment in one its accelerated certificate programs, such as precision tooling. “It’ll be targeted to city residents first — trying to get them into the pipeline for getting into one of our programs,” says Ross Micali, program manager for MCC Corporate College, which offers professional development and training for Monroe County residents and businesses. The new program will instruct students in basic math and English to help them get ready for the Accuplacer test, an exam that assesses students’ skills. Almost all

Drone awareness walk Members of the Upstate Coalition to Ground the Drones and End the Wars are walking from Syracuse to Niagara Falls to make Western New Yorkers aware that the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station is now a drone control center similar to the one that’s been operating for several years at Hancock Air National Guard Base near Syracuse. About 40 protesters left the Hancock base last Thursday after holding a rally there and were in the Rochester area earlier this week. A complete schedule of the walkers’ route to Niagara Falls can be found at www.upstatedroneaction.org. The Undrone Upstate Walk will take about two weeks, says Russell Brown, a Vietnam War veteran and march organizer. And the protesters come and go depending on their personal schedules, he says. “We’re finding that people are unaware of it [the drone centers],” Brown says. The MQ-9 Reaper drones are operated by “pilots” who work at computers in offices far from the sites they target in the Middle East and Afghanistan, he says. The drone attack that hit a hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan, is a reminder that the precision technology is overhyped, Brown says, and often results in the killing of innocent people.

NEIGHBORHOODS | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
History, activism, and resilience in the 19th Ward Joanne DeMarle and MaryDan Cooper are proud, active residents of Rochester’s 19th Ward. The idea of living in some other city neighborhood or moving to the suburbs bewilders them. “Why?” DeMarle says. “It’s a very friendly neighborhood. I have lived my whole adult life in this neighborhood. If I had lived somewhere else, I don’t know that I would have known my kids’ friends or become friends with their parents.” DeMarle and Cooper don’t think of themselves as crusaders who refuse to leave the southwest city neighborhood where they’ve put down roots, bought homes, and raised families. So they’re a bit muddled by the sometimes unfavorable image others have of the 19th Ward, and they’re hardly alone.

according to some reports, exceeded the value of the property. “The decision was suddenly made by [the district’s] central office to close the School 16 building on Post Avenue and that the students and staff would be relocated to Freddie Thomas across town,” says John Boutet, an education activist who lives in the 19th Ward. “We were told there are too many rodents, the boys’ rooms smell, and the heating system controls don’t work properly.” While some of those concerns were valid, Boutet says, the school plays a crucial role in the vitality of all of the southwest neighborhoods. Residents managed to convince Vargas to include School 16 in the second phase of the district’s massive $1.2 billion schools modernization program, and the school building should be renovated and reopened around 2018, Boutet says. A similar battle ensued to prevent School 10 and School 44 in the southwest section of the city from closing — this time more as a result of low student performance. Despite strong resistance from residents, Vargas and the school board made the decision to keep School 10 open and eventually close School 44. But even with a strong, highly organized
neighborhood association; significant capital investment in the Brooks Landing development; improvements to Thurston Road; and increased engagement with its powerhouse neighbor, the University of Rochester; parts of the 19th Ward continue to be dogged by crime. It’s an issue that provokes a strong response from residents who often say that the image of a crimeridden neighborhood doesn’t at all match the reality of the 19th Ward. Still, the fatal shooting at the Boys & Girls Club on Genesee Street in August shocked the entire region. Three people died in that incident, and four others were injured. “No, it doesn’t make me nervous,” DeMarle says. “It doesn’t make me feel like someone is out to get me. That could have happened anywhere.” Rochester school board member Mary Adams says that she’s not indifferent to crime, but that she likes living in the 19th Ward and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to a young couple considering buying a home. “Violent crime is a citywide crisis that is painful no matter where you live, because the impacts on victims and families do not have boundaries defined by blocks,” she says. rochestercitynewspaper.com

POLITICS | BY JEREMY MOULE
S
o, the 2015 county executive race should be the political brawl of the decade. Term limits prevent Maggie Brooks, the star Republican who’s held the job for almost 12 years, from running for re-election, so the seat is wide open. And two experienced, well-known politicians want to take her place: County Clerk Cheryl Dinolfo, a Republican, and former Brighton Supervisor Sandy Frankel, a Democrat. They’re joined in the contest by Green Party candidate Rajesh Barnabas. Monroe County is at a make-or-break moment and will have to deal with some big, difficult issues over the next few years, including its own faltering finances and worsening poverty in some city neighborhoods. But the next few years will also bring unprecedented opportunity for the county: millions of federal, state, and private dollars will be invested in the region, for example, as part of a national effort to build a domestic photonics manufacturing industry. The belief is that the endeavor will lead to new high-tech companies in the county and thousands of well-paying jobs. The next exec will guide Monroe County through this pivotal time, and Dinolfo and Frankel have a chance to 8 CITY
OCTOBER 14-20, 2015
Dinolfo’s vision is thin, almost to the point that her promise to keep the property tax rate flat — which Frankel has also committed to — feels like her beginning and end. lead robust public discussions about strengthening the county’s economy, making the county budget healthier, and improving working families’ access to day care. But so far that hasn’t happened. This race has potential, but instead it’s been a disappointing bore. Dinolfo’s campaigning like a favored incumbent. She shows up at festivals, marches in parades, and makes public appearances in her capacity as clerk; she’s been to some 600 events, she says, since announcing her candidacy early this year. She hasn’t indulged us with specifics on her plans for the county, though she says she’ll keep the tax rate flat, eliminate quasi-governmental local development corporations, and form an Office of Public Integrity to review potential conflicts of interest around county
contracts, employees, or officials. She also hasn’t engaged Frankel or Barnabas publicly; the Dinolfo camp seems to think that if it can keep voters from discovering that she has opponents, she’ll win. The problem is that approach just might work. The Frankel campaign has struggled with this treatment, and has tried to attract attention and fire up the party base by flailing on county scandals, including accusations of corruption in county government, nepotism, and pay-to-play favoritism. But the party’s hammered on these issues in just about every county exec and legislature race over the past decade and gotten nowhere. Look, these assessments seem harsh, but the November 3 election is three weeks away and it is past time for candor.
Given the problems and possibilities ahead, Monroe needs an experienced leader who’s up to the challenge. Dinolfo’s vision is thin, almost to the point that her promise to keep the property tax rate flat — which Frankel has also committed to — feels like her beginning and end. And Dinolfo also lacks executive and legislative experience. She may be trying to emulate Brooks’ path from clerk to exec, but Brooks had also done time as a county legislator, even if it was only a year. Frankel is the leaders that Monroe County needs: she’s intelligent, she has a deep understanding of important community issues, and she has valuable experience leading a local government. And while her campaign has been flawed, Frankel has presented detailed plans for addressing county finances, economic development, and violence in Rochester. For those reasons, City endorses Sandy Frankel for Monroe County executive. Frankel’s better than the campaign she’s
running. Her record stands on its own, and her wedged-in potshots against Dinolfo-via-Brooks are distracting. Frankel ran the Town of Brighton for 20 years, leaving it in far better shape than when she started. In her first year

on the job, she and the Town Board had to plug a $1.5 million shortfall in the budget they’d inherited from the prior Republican administration. They enlisted residents and town employees to help, and ultimately everyone sacrificed something. Employees agreed to forgo raises while Frankel cut her own pay and ended the town’s practice of providing a car to the supervisor. And in the next year’s budget, the town raised taxes slightly. “I was not elected to eviscerate programs or services that were important to people,” Frankel says. “So we made hard decisions and worked in a very open, transparent way with the community to which we were accountable.” The town was back in the black for 1993 and was able to start rebuilding its reserves. By the time Frankel retired in 2011, she’d led the town through voter-approved initiatives to fix Brighton’s dilapidated sidewalks, build a new town library, and establish a substantial parks system. And the town government did it all without unreasonable tax increases. Monroe County has its own money problems, which makes Frankel’s experience and accomplishments particularly relevant. The county has annual operating deficits, and budgets over the past decade have shrunk the county workforce, funded snowplowing and Monroe Community College through separate lines on tax bills, and cut spending on effective social programs. Frankel’s financial plan builds on the strategy she used in Brighton. She wants to create a permanent financial advisory committee made up of people with expertise in finance, budget, and organizational management. It would guide her on a variety of money matters, from how much administrators should be paid to how the county can rebuild its reserves. Frankel also expects that in a $1 billion county budget, there must be opportunities to find savings in building rents, parking lot leases, unnecessary or overpaid administrative positions, and other areas. Those savings can be used, Frankel says, to restore funding for child day care subsidies, the much-lauded Nurse Family Partnership, and other programs. Dinolfo and Frankel both say that business growth is crucial to improve the county’s finances, and they both pledge to work with business leaders to attract new companies. Both also say that the Monroe County

Industrial Development Agency has a role to play. But Frankel wants to see reforms at the agency, which provides tax incentives to new and growing businesses. COMIDA needs to better define its purpose, Frankel says, and to be more strategic about which companies it supports. “To provide funding for a law firm that isn’t going to move out of the area but wants to move to another site within Monroe County doesn’t make sense to me,” she says. Frankel’s anti-violence agenda also deserves a mention. She wants the county and city to put together a task force to evaluate and recommend initiatives to combat violence; it would also review the recommendations of a detailed 1992 report from Community Mobilization Against Violence, a task force formed after a sharp rise in city violence. Her proposal also calls for an Office of Mental Health rapid response team to partner with clergy to respond to acts of violence, and for an effort to recruit more minorities and women to the sheriff ’s office. If Frankel wins, she faces the very real possibility of working with a Republican majority in the Legislature which could block her reform proposals. But she stresses that, as Brighton supervisor, she often worked with her GOP counterparts in neighboring towns, and she says she believes she’d be able to find common ground with the legislators. Dinolfo has strengths. County clerk is a demanding, multifaceted job which requires administrating Department of Motor Vehicles offices along with maintaining land, court, pistol permit, and naturalization paperwork and records. As clerk, Dinolfo launched Renew Monroe, a campaign encouraging residents to renew vehicle registrations and passports locally. The push has a practical benefit, since Monroe gets to keep more of the fees when the documents are renewed in the county. In Dinolfo’s 11 years on the job, the clerk’s office generated approximately $30 million in surplus revenue. She rightly points out that the money, which becomes revenue for the county, helps fund county programs and keeps taxes down. continues on page 31

Elect a Democratic majority to the Lej All 29 seats in the Monroe County Legislature are up for election this year, so no matter which party wins control of the chamber, we’re guaranteed at least a few fresh faces; many longtime legislators face term limits. The Legislature has major issues to tackle over the next few years. Of particular importance will be working with the next county executive to improve the county’s shaky finances. City endorses a Democratic majority in the Legislature to go with our endorsement of Democrat Sandy Frankel for county executive. A Democratic county executive combined with a Republican majority in the Lej could be a recipe for paralysis, given that the GOP caucus routinely dismisses, rejects, or buries Democratic proposals with little discussion. That includes proposals to strengthen oversight of county-linked local development corporations, to restore county cuts to child day care subsidies, and to prohibit the county waste water treatment plant from accepting fracking waste. Republican leaders referred a recent Democratic proposal to ban the sale of products containing microbeads within the county to the administration for further study — a tactic the caucus has historically used to quietly block the party’s legislation. Legislature Democrats are already showing signs that, as the majority party, they’d be willing to work with Republican county executive candidate Cheryl Dinolfo, if she wins. One of Dinolfo’s key proposals is to eliminate county-linked local development corporations. Recently, Democratic Legislator Joe Morelle Jr. submitted legislation for the county to hire an outside law firm to analyze the possibility and implications of dissolving the LDC’s. Democrats have raised questions about Dinolfo’s plan, but Morelle insists that the proposal isn’t political. Rather, the idea is “to give the next county executive a head start,” Morelle Jr. says. rochestercitynewspaper.com

Don’t be modest ButaPub 315 GREGORY STREET MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, 11 A.M. TO 2 A.M.; SATURDAY, 10:30 A.M. TO 2 A.M.; SUNDAY 10:30 A.M. TO 4 P.M. 563-6241; BUTAPUB.COM
[ REVIEW ] BY LAURA REBECCA KENYON
Rochester is not without its share of watering holes. But something makes ButaPub different. Not only does it turn out wellexecuted, Asian-influenced gastropub food, it does so without an attitude. No one is going to look at you askance if you’ve never heard of gochujang. If you’re deciding between a couple of on tap beers, you’ll cheerfully get some samples to taste. And it’s completely fine if you opt for a bacon cheeseburger with addictively crisp, seasoned fries ($13) instead of the half-roasted pig head ($75 with fixings). “It’s food that keeps me happy and keeps me interested,” says Asa Mott, chef and owner. “And we’re totally accessible.” To help make ButaPub even more attractive, General Manager and Events Coordinator Evan Pierce keeps things active. A variety of bands play throughout the week,
everything from jazz or bluegrass to hip-hop, and Pierce asserts that ButaPub hosts the largest local gathering of Geeks Who Drink, a pub quiz game. “We want to be a place for the neighborhood to come together,” Pierce says. Between events, the food, and of course, drinks, that’s not hard to do. The drink menu is robust, with 20-plus bourbons, more than 15 rye and Irish whiskeys, and an assortment of vodkas and gins, in addition to beer, wine, and ciders. Drink specials change with the season. On one of my visits, a late summer watermelon and mint margarita ($9) was served in a short tumbler and garnished with mint. The faded pink drink, flecked with watermelon pulp, was light and refreshing; its sweetness balanced by a very smooth Espolon silver tequila. The menu is a mix of kicked-up pub standards and Asian-influenced dishes. Popcorn ($3) is drizzled with butter and tossed with furikake, a Japanese seasoning made with seaweed, dried fish, and sesame seeds. While it’s difficult to pinpoint the different flavor components, the furikake gives the popcorn a distinctly Asian kick. Okonomiyaki ($12) is a savory Japanesestyle pancake packed with fillings, including bacon, shrimp, cabbage, and corn. It looks
a bit like a giant crab cake: 2-1/2 inches tall, as large as a dessert plate, and with a darkly seared crust and paler interior. The Okonomiyaki is topped with a fried egg, lightly caramelized onions, and fennel fronds, so each bite is a mix of flavors and textures — the snap of the crust yielding to a tender middle, richness from a runny yolk, a pleasant funk from bonito flakes. My favorite menu item, though, is the Korean fried chicken. The kitchen starts each piece with a long soak in a brine heavy with aromatics. The chicken is then tossed with cornstarch and allowed to dry, then takes a second dip into a tempura-like batter made with flour and cornstarch. In the fryer, the chicken’s coating browns, and gets crispy and craggy. To keep that lovely crust intact, one of three sauces — gochujang, soy-garlic, or Arrogant Bastard beer BBQ glaze — are brushed on. The chicken wings ($11 dinner appetizer) are hefty, as if the birds spent time in the yard pumping iron. The wings are heavy with juicy meat, and the crust has a satisfying crunch. The soy-garlic sauce has a familiar pan-Asian flavor, starting sweet before turning spicy. Just as good is the gochujang, a thick, red chili paste made with fermented soybeans and
glutinous rice, that adds heat, umami, and sweetness. A sprinkling of sesame seeds and chopped scallions not only round out the flavor, but catch the eye. On Wednesdays, ButaPub features a Wing and Whiskey special, where wings are $1 each with a sixwing minimum and whiskey is $1 off. The Korean fried half-chicken entrée ($18) consists of four robust pieces of chicken prepped in the same way as the wings and just as delightful. It’s served with a side of kimchi, bracingly delicious thinlysliced pickles, and a mound of white rice flecked with black sesame seeds. New to Butapub is an expanded dessert menu, coffee — with brewing skills from Pour Coffee —and the Pig Skin, Pig Head special: a takeout order of wings, a roasted pig head, and house made steamed buns to enjoy while watching a game. As for the name: it’s pronounced “BOOTA-pub,” and comes from the Japanese word for pig: “buta.” Though its website claims it’s “nothing but a pub,” Butapub is much more than that.

[ AMERICANA ] There are plenty of Americana bands
around, don’t I know it. Ann Arbor’s The Appleseed Collective obviously couldn’t make up its collective mind and brings dominant styles to the fore: Gypsy jazz, bluegrass, and Tin Pan Alley are all styles the band expertly flies through; styles that don’t necessarily blend well in their dominance. That is, unless those styles are rendered by an expert band of musicians like The Appleseed Collective.

Misfits TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20 WATER STREET MUSIC HALL, 204 NORTH WATER STREET 7:30 P.M. | $20-$25 | WATERSTREETMUSIC.COM MISFITS.COM [ HORROR ROCK ] The Misfits was a serious influence on punk rock when the band emerged from the swamps of Lodi some 30 years ago. Its raw sound and crude, violent B-movie aesthetic helped seal the bands fate. But alas, the Misfits can’t take a joke. The last time The Misfits played Rochester, The Isotopes’s toastmaster roasted the band a little, leading to one Isotope getting sucker punched in the face and the band refusing to play until all of the Isotopes were ejected. The Isotopes will not be on this bill. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Drummer Mike Melito, saxophonist Doug Stone and others will be on hand to play Adams’ music. — BY RON NETSKY
Holy shit, this is one revved up party platter in the spirit of 1960’s savage soul. Though secular throughout this sonic spectacle that is “Under the Stars,” The Fox Sisters comes off salaciously sanctified with a relentless and solid backbeat and sensational brass. One spin and you’ll stomp a hole in the floor. The playing on this album is switchblade slick and period correct without getting the least bit musty. Patrick McNally’s vocals are frantic, frenzied, and in your face. Dave Snyder’s guitar snarls and chops somewhere between percussion and oblivion. But the cherry on top is the super-hot production. This band didn’t just lay it to tape; they set it on fire first. There’s nothing better than a hot spot in a song distorting at its peak for maximum drama and maximum joy. Hell, it was good enough for Etta James and it’s good enough for The Fox Sisters. But “Under the Stars” ain’t all soul shouters. No, there are a few tear jerkers and slow dancers for getting’ close and apologizing. This one is going in the jukebox. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

“G’won Git” Self-released bobbunce.com
Adventure Club, Snails, and Kayzo. Main Street Armory,
Like any other Gary Holt produced joint, Bob Bunce’s latest CD, “G’won Git,” doesn’t fly too far from Mother Earth. It’s not like his wings would melt or anything; it’s just that roots-rock like this sounds best when it’s, well, rooted. Bunce and his family of rootsy cohorts keep this countrified affair low-fi and low-key throughout the disc’s 13 cool cuts with their fearless leader’s casual croon held at an easy trot around the corral. It ain’t country really, but rather countrified. Even though the band is plugged in to a certain extent, it reads like an offthe-grid handbook full of wood, wire, blood, and determination. And the man is consistent, having written some of these cuts 20 years ago, and others in the studio. Good for sitting down on the porch a spell to ruminate and chill. Buy Bunce’s record. If you can’t, steal it. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

The mid-90’s music scene in Rochester was a blur: a whirling cascade of bands and clubs packed with fans, their iPhone-less hands in the air. Back then, a phone call — on a plain phone — cost a quarter. And it seems that the technology developed to promote bands wound up being their undoing. But before this unfortunate dichotomy, bands like The Raw Magillys roamed the earth in platform shoes, adding fun and an intense originality to the scene. Like the cell phone, the roots-rock term “Americana” was in its infancy as well. But The Raw Magillys was just that: an Americana band blending psychedelic splendor with heavy rock guitar and dashes of accordion-fueled mirth and mischief. The band packed clubs like Milestones and Richmond’s and recorded one album, “The Moon Gets High.” It was raucous and fun, everything galore; and though the
Raw Magillys’s sound essentially defined the era, it sadly faded away, its members morphing into other bands or other parts of the country. Until now. The Raw Magillys is back, Jack. And not just for a little self-indulgent, “Hey, remember when?” but rather, its back with shows and studio time booked and new members in place — the works. Why did it end? When did it end? Nobody in the recently revived Magillys seems to know. “Can we just say in days of yore?” asks lead singer and ringleader Heidi Magilly. Though she and her stage sister Hildi Magilly, along with drummer Roy Stein, are a little hazy on the original dates, they are clear on when it started up again. “It fell into place by accident,” Heidi says. “A good accident. Recently, when Hildi came back into town from Miami, we started jamming together. Then we started playing as a band. It sounded really, really good. And we realized how much we missed it. It all fell into place. It was as if we’d never stopped.” The Raw Magillys started practicing in earnest with new bassist Alex Goettel. Goettel was a perfect fit and he locked in with the drums — and the whole band — quick-like. “And he can sing really, really well,” Stein says. Goetell hit the ground at full giddy-up. “It was fun coming into a band that was so
fully formed,” Goetell says. “I try to describe the band’s style to people and it just ends up with ‘You’ve just got to check us out.’” On stage, The Raw Magillys is aggressively friendly, antagonistic, and coy. Heidi’s plugged-in squeezebox (named Waldo Ball) plays counterpoint to the band’s secret weapon: Hildi’s big, bad Les Paul. She wields it like a Viking. There are hints at hillbilly boogie and lingering expanses a la bands like The Stranglers and The Gun Club. And if that weren’t sweet enough, the band passes out brownies and chocolate chip cookies to the crowd. The future looms bright for this resurrected quartet … so does the studio. But the live show is the thing right now with perhaps a more focused sound. According to Hildi, there’s nothing the band won’t try. “I would hate to limit us because we could really do anything,” she says, “as long as we Magilly-fi it.” And they love to play. Stein recalls a double bill one night with NRBQ. The band’s horn section was all set to defect. “That’s when their horn section asked to join our band,” he says. “That show was fantastic,” Heidi says before Hildi adds, “It must have been, because I don’t remember that.”

For the Amenda Quartet, 2015-16 is the season of “Project Ludwig,” as this foursome of longtime RPO string players plays through all 16 of Beethoven’s string quartets. Not an unusual project for a string quartet, but this project has a twist: the group is giving each of its 10 concerts in a different Rochester-area venue, ranging from the Rochester Brainery, where the series opened in September, to the South Wedge Mission Church, where it winds up in June. It’s an ambitious journey through a repertoire that is one of the treasures of classical music, and you can sample “Project Ludwig” at next week’s noontime concert at the Hochstein Performance Hall. Amenda Quartet members Patricia Sunwoo and David Brickman, violins; Melissa Matson, viola; and cellist Mimi Hwang will perform movements from early, middle-period, and late Beethoven quartets which run the gamut of expression. You can also listen to the live broadcast on WXXI Classical 91.5, hosted by Mona Seghatoleslami. The Amenda Quartet will perform “A Beethoven Sampler” on Wednesday, October 21, at Hochstein Performance Hall, 50 North Plymouth Avenue. 12:05 p.m. Free. amendaquartet.org. — BY DAVID RAYMOND [ COUNTRY ]

ROCK | TUMBLEWEED WANDERERS
While its name implies the kind of band that is influenced by the dust bowl era, Tumbleweed Wanderers is actually a rock and soul quartet with a retro 1970’s vibe. Established in the Bay Area in 2011 by co-founders Jeremy Lyon (vocals, guitar) and Zak Mandel-Romann (who’s no longer in the band), the group began by busking the streets of San Francisco. Despite a laid-back groove, Tumbleweed Wanderers is technically precise; when I heard the band’s rendition of The Grateful Dead’s “China Cat Sunflower” it almost induced a flashback. Tumbleweed Wanderers has released two full-length albums including its latest “Realize” which covers Americana territory with a nod towards the west coast in general. Tumbleweed Wanderers performs on Thursday, October 15, at Flour City Station, 170 East Avenue. 8 p.m. $10. flourcitystation.com; tumbleweedwanderers.com. — BY ROMAN DIVEZUR

CLASSICAL | ARVEL BIRD WITH THE RCO
The Rochester Chamber Orchestra gets its season off to an unusual start with a popular guest artist making his third return visit. The “Celtic Indian” Arvel Bird is a classically trained violinist whose music-making is the definition of diversity. Reflecting his Celtic and American Indian ancestry, Bird — who performs his own compositions on violin, fiddle, Native flutes and Irish whistles — draws on every North American musical style imaginable, from traditional tunes to rock. He’ll play a set of Native American numbers like “Raven Warrior” and “Path Made of Rainbows,” followed by a set of Celtic tunes, including “Farewell to Ireland” and “Distant Shore.” Joining Bird and the RCO, under conductor Gerard Floriano, will be percussionist Jillian Pritchard, the Bach Children’s Chorus of Nazareth College, and the Genesee Valley Children’s Choir. Arvel Bird will perform with the Rochester Chamber Orchestra on Sunday, October 18, at Hochstein Performance Hall, 50 North Plymouth Avenue. 3 p.m. $10-$30. rochesterchamberorchestra.org. — BY DAVID RAYMOND

Musicals typically work from a proven formula: believable love story plus catchy songs equals success. But there is the indispensable x-factor of spectacle that ties the entire venture together. Composer John Kander and lyricist Fred Ebb’s “Cabaret” is a prime example. And Pittsford Musicals’ presentation of the musical is thoroughly engaging, ultimately capitalizing on its greatest strengths, and sustaining interest that could have easily waned with weaker performances. Set in pre-World War II Berlin on the cusp of Nazi ascendancy, the storyline centers around the struggling American novelist Cliff Bradshaw and English cabaret performer Sally Bowles, whose romance blooms against the 20 CITY OCTOBER 14-20, 2015
backdrop of the glittering Kit Kat Klub. Unfortunately, the plot — focused on this one-dimensional, illusory relationship without staying power — is inherently flimsy. It doesn’t help that Scott Shutts’s portrayal of Cliff is underwhelming. Though Shutts is a pleasant singer, his performance lacks the charisma befitting the dashing, intriguing American for whom the freewheeling Sally falls. Fortunately, this production by Pittsford Musicals has many saving graces. The music is indefatigably charming, and the ensemble numbers in particular give shape to the story while painting an enticing picture of the cabaret’s shine-covers-grime allure. There is the delightfully bawdy “Mein Herr,” with its whiff of BDSM. Later, “Two Ladies,” that ribald ode to threesomes, and the exuberantly cynical “Money” thoroughly entertain, lightening the mood as the growing threat of anti-Semitism and relationship discord become more unsettling. Even with these rollicking songs, “Cabaret” would fall flat without a showstopping Emcee. As the cabaret’s host, Dan Howell is every bit the dynamic provocateur, peppering in a healthy dose of angst amid the playfulness. And beneath all the risqué bravado, Howell has a melodious singing voice that comes

to the fore in Act II numbers like “If You Could See Her” and “I Don’t Care Much.” Of course, “Cabaret” is also a vehicle for its leading lady. As Sally, Brynn Kathryn Tyszka is piquant and magnetic. Her resplendent panache dominates “Mein Herr,” and with a striking combination of vivacity and desperation, Tyszka delivers the title song as if singing for her very life. Her voice is bright and cutting, but balanced with a pathos that underscores the dark gravity of the drama. The production follows in the footsteps of the 1993 London and 1998 Broadway revivals; even in scenes at the boardinghouse where Cliff is staying, the cabaret performers’ virtual omnipresence — though meant to be unsettling — simply seems out of place here, as they look out on the proceedings from the stairs and balcony on the stage with expressionless stares. Despite its trappings of a conventional musical, “Cabaret” is serious theater, and this economical, yet effective, production drives this fact home. The deleterious effects of fascism on individuals and life as a whole are displayed unblinkingly, and the spirited music and energetic dancing belie the tragedy of the Holocaust to come.

The work of Robert Ernst Marx (pictured in his studio) is currently featured in a show at Rochester Picture Frame, in celebration of his sixty years of making art. PHOTO BY JOHN SOLBERG
Implied forces Robert Ernst Marx THROUGH OCTOBER 30 ROCHESTER PICTURE FRAMING, 2094 EAST MAIN STREET MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, 8:30 A.M. TO 5:30 P.M.; SATURDAY, 9 A.M. TO 1 P.M. 288-4370 ROCHESTERPICTUREFRAMINGINC.COM [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
Robert Ernst Marx’s sculptures, prints, and paintings are populated with weatherworn humans. They are portraits of nonspecific people and of the intangible things we all carry; they are some of the loveliest depictions of the fragility and resilience of humanity. A new exhibition of Marx’s work opened recently at Rochester Picture Frame, held in celebration of the artist’s 60 years of showing his art and his nearly 90 years of life. Across each medium he uses, Marx’s work is impressively identifiable as his own. For six decades, he has created etchings, bronze and porcelain sculptures, oil paintings, and drawings using charcoal, pencil, and pen and ink. His work has been collected by 88 museums, libraries, and rare book rooms in the United States and Europe, as well as more than 50 private galleries. Marx has also created 14 books and portfolios of etchings and hand-set type of various local and international writers. This new show features 62 artworks, including paintings, etchings, drawings and unique sculptures. His paintings are dominated by subdued earth tones that are punctuated by saturated 22 CITY OCTOBER 14-20, 2015
pops of rusty orange or emerald, and the occasional clean white garment floating like a bright specter above the earthly mire. Gentle texture is added with patterns and scratches, and in sketchy markings that help fade the features into the background. But the features don’t go quietly. In each work, there is a tension between flatness and areas of depth and dimension and sharp definition. In 2D and 3D work alike, indistinct territories resolve into a sharpness of some features: beak-like noses, sharp ears, portal-like eyes, or thin lines of mouths provide a hard edge to the turbulent rest. These works of art express Marx’s fundamental theme, “The Arrogance of Power.” He says he is troubled by “the exclusivity of the institutions of church and state, abuse by and of both spouse and child, and our own and others’ personal fears and insecurities. We are also to some degree trapped by conventions we impose on ourselves.” Many paintings, prints, and drawings are of faces or busts, titled with names that Marx may have given the muse. “Sometimes you see an individual…that individual’s name should be Brian or Sabina or whatever occurs,” he says. “I do not know any of my ‘portrait’ people. In fact while these are being painted, I am thinking how to paint an emotion, an eye, does a particular distortion of the painting help convey that emotion. So in effect, these are in the “practice” category, much like a piano etude, which hones a particular appropriate skill.” Much of this skill-honing has to do with the masterful conveyance of nameless emotions. The people are relatable in that

they are half hollow, they have been pressed flat by implied forces. They are burdened, changed, altered; they are heavy or mere wisps, but still present despite everything. At almost 90 years of age, Marx hasn’t remotely retired from creating. Among the 21 new paintings included in the show is the mammoth “A Judgment on Us,” at 80 inches by 102 inches. This work is “an accumulation, a contemplation, a diary of thoughts and ideas that have come to me over the past seven or eight years,” Marx says. “It represents my thrashing about over, and dissatisfaction with, the ‘Human Condition,’ which I must say continues to sound a bit corny. Thus I stress that the paths we have chosen for ourselves have not been imposed by others, but rather are situations and conditions which we have imposed upon ourselves.” The inhabitants of Marx’s world are not entirely victims, but frozen complexities, culpable for their own fate. Subtle hints of Hieronymus Bosch’s “The Garden of Earthly Delights” can be detected in “A Judgement on Us,” which has also been rendered in the triptych form. “The panel on the left is secular and represents our foibles, such as with the foolishness of the human form headed by a bird,” Marx says. “The forlorn, vacant expressions of the two other figures reflect on the struggles of so many in our world simply to survive and grow as humans. In fact, in the bottom figure, loneliness has degenerated into ‘The Sad Clown.’ The standalone reaching arm contains the one note of hope, represented by a flower.” Marx says that the right panel refers to the institution of religion as a whole instead of a particular sect. The top figure, with the disappearing head, represents the waning importance of the religious life today, while the bishop “suggests the confinement and rigidity of the religious tenets present in all varieties of religious practice,” he says. And the center panel represents our worship of the ideologue. Though Marx’s work is inspired by pivotal and mundane events in human history and life, he doesn’t create “event” paintings, but instead alludes to the universal thread running through all of those moments. “I rejoice in ambiguity so that you as the viewer have the major task of incorporating your own history and experience into the context of the artwork,” he says. “I work not only for myself, but to make a connection with you. I do so as elegantly as I can, and with an ambiguity that invites you to do your part…to join me with your own interpretation. If I am successful, my people will now make eye contact with you, and our dialogue will begin.”

FASHION | ROCHESTER FASHION WEEK
LECTURE | SCIENCE ON THE EDGE
Rochester puts its most fashionable foot forward in the kick off of the 2015 Rochester Fashion Week, a week of runway shows and fashion events, at the Tents on Main. The week began Tuesday, October 13, with a fashion exchange where participants were encouraged to bring used or new clothing with an opportunity to trade in for other clothing.

ART | SUN & WATER
SPECIAL EVENT | APPLE PRESSING
FILM | HOME MOVIE DAY
The new exhibit at Ock Hee’s Gallery in Honeoye Falls celebrates the work of husband and wife artists and former teachers, Sylvia Farrer and Philip Bornarth. The collection of watercolor paintings features landscapes from around the country, but some viewers may also pick out familiar scenes from Letchworth State Park, the Genesee River, and Lake Ontario. Bornarth is a retired professor of Rochester Institute of Technology where he taught at the school of art and design. Farrer taught classes at the Memorial Art Gallery.
Beyond the pumpkin spice hype is the faithful and consistent promise of another sweet seasonal drink: fresh apple cider. Among other fall-related outdoors activities, Sterling Nature Center will host an apple pressing event where attendees can help wash, grind, press, and pasteurize apples to make cider, the old fashion way. There will also be information provided about the history of apples, apple products, and the apple growing industry in New York State.
International Home Movie Day on Saturday, October 17 — celebrated in Rochester at Visual Studios Workshop — brings out amateur and professional videographers alike to show off their films and learn how to properly care for them. Film students will also be in attendance to provide film inspections and to project submitted films. The students come from the Selznick School of Film Preservation at the George Eastman House and the Association of Moving Image Archivists Student Chapter at the University of Rochester. Accepted submitted film forms include Super-8mm, Standard or regular 8mm, 16mm, VHS tape, DVD, and Quicktime compatible digital files.
The display opened October 10 and will run until November 14. Following, Ock Hee will feature its final exhibit, “Winter Harvest,” which will run until December 26, when the gallery will close its doors. Gallery hours are Monday through Saturday, each week from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. The gallery is located at 2 Lehigh Street in Honeoye Falls. Admission is free.

SPECIAL EVENT | DANCE TO THE FUTURE PARTY
Well, we don’t have “Jaws 19,” cool hover boards, or self-lacing Nikes, but October 21, 2015 — the day Marty McFly lands in the future in the iconic “Back to the Future, Part II” — is coming up and flat screen TVs with the ability to watch six channels at once is a reality, and the Chicago Cubs are still in the baseball postseason. The Dudes Night Out crew couldn’t let the pop culture holy day pass without a party, so DNO is partnering with Lux for a costumed Dance to the Future party on October 21. Lux will offer drink specials and free food, DJ Ben Frazier will spin, the “Back to the Future” movies will be screening in the back, and DNO is putting its touch on a hover board. The Dudes will also hang an 80’s themed show. The Dance to the Future party will take place Wednesday, October 21, at Lux Bar, 666 South Avenue. 8 p.m. Free.

THEATER | “THE BEAUX’ STRATAGEM”
“The Beaux’ Stratagem,” a romantic comedy, tells the story of two friends and Londoners, Jack Archer and Tom Aimwell, who flee the city to seek rich brides and a chance to prolong their youth. All under false identities, they must try to win their true loves and protect them from the dangers of the time period. This comedy of manners was first produced in 1707 by George Farquhar, but was redrafted for a 21st century audience. This presentation kicks off the Nazareth College Theatre and Dance Department’s production season. The role of Jack Archer is performed by Matt Combs who most recently appeared at the JCC Centerstage in “American Idiot.” Tom Aimwell will be portrayed by Josh Feldman, who recently appeared in “The Secret Garden” at Nazareth College. The show will run Friday, October 16, through Sunday, October 18, and again October 23 through October 25, in the Callahan Theatre. All shows begin at 8 p.m., except for Sunday shows, which begin at 2 p.m. Tickets are $14-$15 and can be ordered at the Box Office online at artscenter.naz.edu, or by calling 389-2170.

An awfully bad adventure “Pan”
(PG), DIRECTED BY JOE WRIGHT NOW PLAYING [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
The worst thing to come out of the massive success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (and I say this as someone who’s very much a fan) is the idea of movies as episodic stories whose purpose is to set up worlds that can later be mined for interconnected prequels, sequels, spin-offs, and crossovers. It’s a smart idea — after all, comic books have been doing this sort of thing for decades, so it only makes sense that the movies based on those comic books would follow suit. The problem comes when franchise-hungry

studios — always eager to learn the wrong lesson from their rivals’ box office successes — start applying the Marvel template to properties that don’t need it. Aside from movie universes for Marvel and DC superheroes, the new “Star Wars” films will set up a separate line of spin-off films, and there are currently plans for film series involving Universal Monsters and even one centered around 90’s Nickelodeon cartoon characters. “Pan” is the latest attempt to kick start such a franchise, creating a new origin story for J.M. Barrie’s beloved childhood figure, Peter Pan. There was already a “Pan II” in the works, but after this film’s disastrous reception, it may never get off the ground. Director Joe Wright (“Pride and Prejudice”) and writer Jason Fuchs (“Ice Age: Continental Drift”) begin by transplanting Barrie’s turn of the century story to WWII-era London, where we find Peter living in a seedy orphanage overseen by an ogre of a nun. (Why is it that it’s never the kindly nuns who run orphanages in these types of stories?) This new setting doesn’t appear to serve any purpose aside from allowing the film-

makers to later stage an aerial dogfight between flying pirate ships and the Royal Air Force. Peter dreams of the day his mother (Amanda Seyfried) will return for him, but the nuns have made some sort of financial arrangement with a band of Neverland pirates, who pay the orphanage for the ability steal off with a few boys each night, dropping down from the ceiling on bungee cords and transporting them to Neverland. There, they’re used by Blackbeard the Pirate (Hugh Jackman) as slave labor to work in his mines, digging for magical fairy dust (here given the pseudo-science-y name of unobtainium, er, I mean pixum). The substance grants Blackbeard immortality, but with his mines running dry, he needs to take over more land from Neverland’s natives. The native people are depicted as a mishmash of various tribal cultures, led by princess Tiger Lily (Rooney Mara). There was a significant backlash after the casting announcement naming the decidedly white Mara as Tiger Lily, but the whitewashing of her character is only one of many, many problems with “Pan.” Peter teams up with the dashing James Hook (Garrett Hedlund) to help defend the natives, and again, there doesn’t seem to be much reason to depict Pan and Hook as friends, other than to make winking references to their future as mortal enemies. Along the way, Peter learns of an ancient prophecy about “The Pan,” a being of fairy and native lineage who will be the one to save Neverland. Of all the poor creative decisions made in “Pan,” we’ve now come to the laziest. Turning the story of Peter Pan into yet another Chosen One, hero’s

Triple play [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
journey tale — as though that’s the only fantasy story movies call tell anymore — demonstrates a frustrating lack of imagination from the filmmakers. Even incidental bits of weirdness are lifted from better sources, like having toiling miners sing anachronistic songs “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and “Blitzkrieg Bop” a la “Moulin Rouge.” Levi Miller makes for a bland Peter Pan, missing the puckish charm that defines the character. But I can’t fault the young actor too much, seeing as how his older, more experienced co-stars fare just as badly, or worse. Mara looks bored throughout, while Garrett Hedlund adopts a distractingly exaggerated accent. I don’t know whether to blame Wright or the actor for the voice, but whoever’s decision it was, it’s a terrible one. I suppose Jackman fares best, but that’s not saying much. To say his performance is scenery-chewing is an understatement, confusing yelling really loud with being menacing. For a character described as “the original nightmare,” his Blackbeard never really feels like much of a threat. While largely a mess, there are a few aspects of the film to recommend: costumes and production design are impeccable, appearing to have sprung to life from the pages of Victorian picture books. It’s no surprise to learn that the production design is from Aline Bonetto, who gave us the picturesque world of “Amelie.” On its own, John Powell’s score may be lovely, but played nonstop through every moment of the movie, it comes across as noisy and overblown as everything else. Every aspect of the film feels desperate to spark our imagination, but it’s missing any sense of magic.
“The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution”
“Coming Home”
(NR), DIRECTED BY STANLEY NELSON SCREENS AT THE LITTLE ON TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 7 P.M.
Renowned Chinese filmmaker Zhang Yimou reunites with his longtime muse, actress Gong Li, in the intimate period melodrama “Coming Home.” Set during the Cultural Revolution, the film follows college professor Lu Yanshi (Chen Daoming), a political prisoner for unspecified offenses against the state. As the film opens, he’s escaped from the labor camp where he was being held and is attempting to make his way home to his wife, Feng Wanyu (Gong), and teenage daughter Dan Dan (Zhang Huiwen). Alerted by authorities of Lu’s actions, Feng anxiously anticipates her husband’s arrival. Head filled with government propaganda, and not having seen her father since she was an infant, Dan Dan betrays Lu by turning him in to party officials. The film jumps forward several years to pick up at the end of the Revolution, as Lu is finally freed and allowed to return home. But his happy reunion is cut short when he learns that an accident on the day of his capture has left Feng with amnesia, and she no longer remembers him. Yimou follows Lu as he attempts a variety of methods to trigger her memory, resurrecting old photos, unsent letters, and piano melodies to conjure up memories of their years spent together. The material is unabashedly sentimental, but a strong directorial hand and excellent performances keep things from turning maudlin. Lu’s devotion to his family is heartbreaking, and the film becomes a moving account of a family’s journey through loss, regret, and the possibility for reconciliation.
In his absorbing documentary, “The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution,” director Stanley Nelson traces the Black Panther Party’s short but complicated history. Founded in Oakland during the mid-60’s by activists Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale, the group was a direct response to the violence enacted against African-Americans during the Civil Rights Movement. To achieve its goal of empowerment in the black community, the group utilized tactics that ranged from walking the streets with opencarry weapons as a means to combat police brutality, to providing free breakfasts for inner-city youth — and creating some highprofile enemies along the way. The Panthers were ultimately brought down by schisms between the group’s chapters provoked by pressures both within and without. As one member says, “The great strength of the Black Panther Party was its ideals, and its youthful vigor and enthusiasm. And the great weakness of the party was its ideals, and its youthful vigor and enthusiasm.” The Panthers gave root to the current Black Lives Matter movement, showing that the party’s revolution is still in progress.

(PG-13), DIRECTED BY ZHANG YIMOU OPENS FRIDAY AT PITTSFORD CINEMA
“Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films” (R), DIRECTED BY MARK HARTLEY SCREENS AT THE LITTLE ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2 P.M. AND 9 P.M.
Connoisseurs of trash cinema will no doubt recognize the name Cannon Films, the movie production house purchased by Israeli cousins Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus. Cannon gained notoriety for churning out an endless supply of schlocky B-movies (peaking at 43 films in a single year) throughout the 1980’s, before flaming out in spectacular fashion. Taking an anecdotal approach, Mark Hartley’s wildly entertaining documentary “Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films” is packed with clips, archival footage, and talking head interviews with the studios execs, directors, actors, writers, and editors who made the company’s staggering output possible. Hartley gives audiences an affectionate, appropriately breakneck tour through the company’s unsavory history. Cannon’s releases ranged from grindhouse fare to low-rent action flicks starring Charles Bronson, Chuck Norris, or Jean-Claude Van Damme, with occasional art-house pictures from distinguished directors like Jean-Luc Godard, Franco Zeffirelli, and John Cassavetes sprinkled throughout. Though Cannon made the odd attempt to break into the mainstream — notably with 1987’s “Masters of the Universe” and “Superman IV: The Quest For Peace” — the studio maintained a kitchen sink product that consisted of anything that could be made quickly and cheaply. A must-see for cinephiles with a penchant for the lowbrow, “Electric Boogaloo” makes for a wild ride.

The Big Bore
continues from page 9
She’s also been unafraid to speak out on controversial issues involving her office. She publicly opposed Governor Eliot Spitzer’s proposal to allow undocumented immigrants to get driver’s licenses, and she’s criticized some provisions of the state’s SAFE Act gun control law. While City may not agree with Dinolfo’s positions, she has shown that she’s willing to take on thorny matters. But Dinolfo has given no indication that she’ll rein in the county’s indiscriminate use of economic development incentives or break from Brooks administration budget tactics, such as using new chargebacks to balance the books. Nor does she plan to undo the Brooks administration’s cuts to county funding for child care subsidies, though she says that she does have an idea that could stretch the funding further. When working parents get raises that nudge their incomes above child care eligibility levels, she says, the subsidies should decrease, not end. “We should encourage people to do better, right?” Dinolfo says. “So when we’re encouraging people to do better, we don’t want to disincentivize them by negatively financially impacting them, so we do have to look at where those lines intercept.” There is one area where Dinolfo makes a sharp departure from Brooks: the outsourcing of county functions to local development corporations. Two county-formed LDC’s are at the center of a complex bid-rigging trial, and the defendants include a former county official as well as Robert Wiesner, Brooks’ husband. Dinolfo wants to eliminate LDC’s entirely and bring their operations back in-house. “If it’s worth an investment by taxpayers, then the county government should be operating and overseeing those essential services,” she says. The LDC’s are, at least on paper, corporations that operate independently of county government. They’re connected by board appointments and contracts, but the county doesn’t directly control the entities’ operations. It’s not clear how Dinolfo would get rid of the LDC’s. She says that the corporations’ contracts with third parties can be renegotiated, and that the county can assume and refinance their debts. She’s met with legal advisers and banking industry representatives, she says, and they’ve assured her those things can be done, and in a way that will be costneutral to taxpayers. Frankel, a longtime critic of LDC’s, is skeptical of Dinolfo’s proposal. By taking on the corporations’ debts, she says, the county would add costs back into
the budget. And lenders certainly aren’t going to agree to new terms that’ll cause them to lose money, she says. Instead, Frankel wants the LDC’s to follow the same bidding and contract requirements as the county. She also wants to make their books, contracts, and other records readily accessible to the public. The Green Party’s Barnabas, a former teacher and nonprofit outreach worker who now works for Rochester Community Television, isn’t likely to win, but he has an important role in the race. There are issues and perspectives that Frankel and Dinolfo aren’t discussing that need attention, he says. Property taxes are one example. Instead of holding the tax rate flat across the board, Barnabas says, the county should increase the rate for higher value properties, such as those assessed at more than a couple of hundred thousand dollars. That approach would provide additional funding for services that help people living in poverty, he says. “Rochester’s a really nice place to live,” he says. “It’ll remain affordable for most everybody except the multimillionaires. It might get a little more expensive for them.” He’s also pushing for a countywide school district, which he says would improve the educational system countywide and break up the concentration of poor and minority students in the city schools. The idea is not popular, though, and would require voter approval in every school district as well as the approval of the State Legislature. The county also needs to make a stronger effort to address climate change, Barnabas says, particularly by reducing its greenhouse gas emissions. One step the county could take is implementing a carbon tax on polluting industries, similar to the one in Boulder, Colorado, he says. The city and county could also work together on a large renewable energy project, he says. Both governments are currently backing large solar developments, from which they’ll buy electricity. Those efforts are a good start, he says. “We could be the first carbon-neutral city in the United States if there was political will between politicians and the business people, because it makes sense cost-wise and it makes sense businesswise,” Barnabas says.

1000 East Avenue # 601 Are you dreaming of spending your Rochester winter sipping a hot toddy rather than shoveling a sidewalk? Are you driven by a desire to downsize and simplify? Are you desperately seeking killer city views and proximity to all the perks of urban living? If you answered in the affirmative to any of these questions, then penthouse condo living at 1000 East Avenue might just be for you! Scarborough House Condominium is a sixstory, fifty-seven unit building built in 1959 and located within easy walking distance to every amenity that the East End, Park Ave, and the Neighborhood of the Arts have to offer. With eateries, bars, grocery stores, theaters, museums, parks, and houses of worship all within a 10-minute walk, you never really need to leave the neighborhood―but if you do, you can catch the #57 RTS bus right out your front door. Unit number 601 is a corner unit on the top floor, which means fewer shared walls, no one tromping overhead, and a wall of windows in the open living/dining space that makes the space feel larger than its cozy 675 square feet. This condo retains its original parquet floors, which are in very good condition. A galley fully outfitted with new, high-end stainless steel appliances makes an efficient use of the kitchen space. Sliders off the kitchen lead to what makes this unit really special―a
covered balcony overlooking the campus of the iconic Asbury First United Methodist Church and its dramatic Gothic spire. There’s enough room for a café table and chairs here. This space invites friends to take a quiet, scenic breather from a lively party happening just inside. Storage is important in small-space living, and this unit features two large closets. The double closet in the spacious and lightfilled bedroom provides ample space and a custom closet organizer, while the walk-in closet in the entryway has room for linens, coats, and comes with an indispensable stacked washer and dryer. Priced at $123,900, a secure lobby, common green space, carport parking space, stable residency, active Board, and great neighbors round out the package on this hip property. A monthly HOA fee of $281 includes common area maintenance, snow removal, heat, water, and trash/recycling. Take a leap, and live out your big city dreams right here in Rochester. If you’re interested in seeing this well-situated urban condo, call Rome Celli of RE/MAX Realty Group at 585-756-7425. by Sarah Nguyen Hooper Sarah is a Landmark Society volunteer and a ROC city enthusiast

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD
Protecting Our Freedoms
The bold, shameless leering of David Zaitzeff is legendary around Seattle’s parks, and more so since he filed a civil complaint against the city in September challenging its anti-voyeurism law for placing a “chilling effect” on his photography of immodestly dressed women in public. Though he has never been charged with a crime, he roams freely (and apparently joyously) around short-skirted and swimsuit-clad “gals” while himself often wearing only a thong and bearing a “Free Hugs and Kisses” sign. Zaitzeff’s websites “extol” public nudity, wrote the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, and explain, for example, that a woman who angles her “bod” to offer a view of “side boob” is fair game for his camera. Zaitzeff’s complaint — that the law criminalizes photography of a person’s “intimate areas” (clothed or not) without explicit permission — is distressing him.
Democracy Blues
Randy Richardson, 42, vying unopposed for the Riceville, Iowa, school board (having agreed to run just because he has two kids in school) failed to get any votes at all — as even he was too busy on election day (Sept. 8) to make it to the polls (nor were there any write-ins). To resolve the 0-0 result, the other board members simply appointed Richardson to the office. Riceville, near the Minnesota border, is a big-time farming community, and registered voters queried by The Des Moines Register said they just had too much fieldwork to do that day.
Medical Marvels
Researchers recently came upon a small community (not named) in the Dominican Republic with an unusual incidence of adolescent boys having spent the first decade or so of their lives as girls because their penises and testes did not appear until
puberty. A September BBC News dispatch referred to the boys as “Guevedoces” and credited the community for alerting researchers, who ultimately developed a drug to replace the culprit enzyme whose absence was causing the problem. (The full shot of testosterone that should have been delivered in the mother’s womb was not arriving until puberty.)
New World Order
— At a September convention on ethical issues involving computers, a researcher at Britain’s De Montfort University decried the development of devices that might permit human-robot sex. Though no human would be “victimized,” the researcher warned that such machines (some already in service) will exacerbate existing “power imbalances” between men and women and pave the way for more human exploitation. One critic challenged, offering that such robots would be no more demeaning to women than, say, vibrators. However, the researcher ominously warned that there may someday be robots resembling children, marketed for sex. (A September USA Today dispatch from Tokyo reported that the company SoftBank had banned sex, via its user agreement, with its new 4-foot-tall human-like robot — even though “Pepper” features nothing resembling genitalia.) — Thailand’s “Last Resort Rehab” at the Wat Thamkrabok Temple about 100 miles north of Bangkok resembles a traditional drug-detox facility (work, relaxation, meditation) — except for the vomiting. At the “Vomit Temple,” Buddhist priests mix a concoction of 120 herbal ingredients that are nasty, according to the temple’s methamphetamine addicts interviewed for a recent Australian TV documentary. Said one, of the rehab agenda: “Vomiting is at 3 p.m. every day. Foreigners must vomit for the first five days. The vomiting is intense.”
[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 35 ]
[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): You will easily tire of anyone who isn’t entertaining. The person who can offer you adventure and spark your imagination regarding your possibilities as a couple will be the one who will capture your heart. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ll attract plenty of interest if you get out and socialize. Chemistry will draw you to someone who will probably move a little too quickly for your liking, but don’t rule out a zealous pursuer until you have given him or her a chance to present what’s being offered. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll come face to face with
a challenge when dealing with affairs of the heart. Either someone will be too persistent or give you a false impression regarding his or her current status. Use your intellect, and if the person you are physically attracted to can’t stimulate you mentally, reconsider the relationship. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Take part in something unusual or check out cultural events, and you’ll find someone who grabs your attention. You don’t have to give up your beliefs in order to fall in love with someone who comes from a different background. Compromise and respect are all that are required.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Share your future plans with someone you want to get to know better. It’s important that you are on the same page before you become too attached to each other. Having the same goals will ensure the support and happiness you both need to achieve your dreams. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Having a realistic game plan when it comes to love and romance will be necessary. Trying to be with someone who isn’t interested in you will keep you from meeting someone who compliments you mentally, physically, emotionally and financially. Be receptive to someone who is good for you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Avoid being attracted to what a person has instead of who they are. It’s important not to be impressed or motivated by material things when what’s truly important is how well you get along where your morals, standards and personal goals are concerned. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ll be attracted to someone who can offer you a different lifestyle or who is willing to delve into unfamiliar territory when it comes to how or where you live. Focus your attention on the person who understands your needs emotionally, physically and financially.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your flirtatious personality will make it difficult to find someone with enough self-confidence to give you the freedom to come and go as you please; the person who does will leave you confused and questioning his or her loyalty and long-term plans. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Listen and consider who you are going to pursue based on the information you gather. If someone is unpredictable or inconsistent, take a pass and keep looking. Don’t be too quick to show off what you have to offer unless you are willing to share what you’ve got. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18:
Protect what you have. Look for ulterior motives when someone is too eager to find out about your finances, assets and net worth. It’s important to look for a partner who can bring as much to the relationship as you. Balance and equality will help you achieve long-term success. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Nothing will be clear when it comes to affairs of the heart. Don’t believe everything you hear. Deception and disillusionment are apparent, along with excess, overreacting and unrealistic expectations. Be completely honest about the way you feel and what you want, and demand the same in return.
