Abortion trumps gun violence
Yes, “violence loving” of every kind is indeed “all of a piece.” (Urban Journal, October 7.) Needless to say, the most egregious offender by far is the abortion industry — the cause of cruel carnage on a scale that dwarfs gun-related violence. Unless and until your editorials evince some semblance of logical coherence in this regard, they should be and will be ignored. I’m struck by the evident lack of self-awareness in the statement that “The vast majority of people with mental illness are not violent.” Of course, that’s true of legal gun owners, and the same logic should apply; focusing on those who are categorically NOT the problem is just a distraction. But this issue, like everything else, ultimately comes down to just tribalism. Liberal elites love gun control mostly because it’s a way to stick it to “those” people — the “flyover” people, who are “not like us.” J.A. MARRIT
Citizens abdicate duty regarding gun laws
While I appreciate the frustration expressed by Mary Anna Towler about the gun-control issue, I have to convey some bad news to the most vocal complainers: It’s your fault that we don’t have more sensible gun-control laws. I’ve spoken to 10 acquaintances about the issue in the past week and they all told me that they voted for candidates who they expected to enact better gun laws. I asked, “When you called or wrote to them, what expectations did you convey?” Every one of them said something to the effect of, “I don’t contact legislators. I vote, and I’m pretty happy with the results.” These were all people who complain about the lack of effective gun control.
Really? They’re happy? Legislators in New York have introduced legislation which can only be considered JUNK. And both bills were defeated. Senate bill 2050 would’ve made it illegal to own 50-caliber rifles. In other words, it would be illegal to drive with a zebra on your head. “Anti-gun legislators have never been able to demonstrate that this type of gun was used in a crime,” said the NRA, and it was right. But this is the best our legislators could come up with: make it illegal to own something that doesn’t matter. Senate bill 2491 would’ve created new felony categories for failure to properly secure guns. I think any sentient adult can agree that safe gun storage is crucial. Just one problem: the bill contained nothing to prevent the state from using gun registration records to knock on doors and conduct “inspections.” Gun owners interpret that to mean confiscation. That’s not empty paranoia, either. The first bill deserved to be defeated. The second one deserved some fine-tuning. I seriously doubt that the average citizen expressed such things to their legislators. Meanwhile, the NRA does a great job informing its members about what state (and federal) legislators are doing, and those members actually write to legislators. That’s the real reason they get things done. It’s not the campaign contributions. It’s the attention they focus on various legislators, and the actions taken by constituents. This is how it’s supposed to be done, but only one side is doing it. You don’t have to be an NRA member to behave like a real grownup citizen. Do something for a change. You can’t delegate everything and call yourself a citizen. DOUG KANTER
Changing hearts and minds on guns
Thank you, Mary Anna Towler, for “Guns cause these deaths” in the October 7 issue. I believe that our country is in serious trouble because of gun violence. And arming more people is not the answer! I agree that we Americans do seem to be a “violence-loving, increasingly angry society.” Is it because we have the sense that we
can no longer run the world, and that a culture built on more and more consumption does not really give us much to live for? However, I have a concern that I haven’t seen serious discussion about: What happens if there are strict federal gun laws? What happens if semiautomatic weapons are outlawed (as I hope they will be)? Will there be a growing illegal gun trade similar to the illegal drug trade? Will it be just like the Prohibition era with organized crime? How can we avoid such an occurrence? How can we change our hearts and minds? SHERYL ZABEL
Democratic Socialism is good for business
Democratic Socialism, the system supported by Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, should not be confused with totalitarian communism; it is a truly democratic and surprisingly business-friendly system. The social democracies of Sweden, Norway, and Denmark always place in the top ten in rankings —including the World Bank’s — of the most businessfriendly or most innovative economies. Free college, free health care, paid parental and caregiver leave, free child care, and a great business climate — what’s not to like? SAM ABRAMS
The Catholic Church and equal rights
The pope’s famous question, “Who am I to judge?” gave us all hope that this monolith that is the Catholic Church might finally be coming around to the concept of equal rights. However, realistically, asking this question is a very long way from speaking positively in support of equal rights. I think we all got our hopes up prematurely. ELANME
Guns empower cowards
Guns, especially automatic weapons, empower and enable cowards to carry out mass killings. Picture Columbine or Sandy Hook but now the weapon is a knife or baseball bat. The number killed would be much smaller. TOM JANOWSKI

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
Bernie, Hillary, and a liberal voter’s dilemma A question: In politics, when should you compromise, and when should you stick to your principles? We’re watching that issue play out in the Republican Party right now, in Congress and in the party’s presidential campaign. But Democrats – in particular, liberal Democratic voters – have to deal with it, too. At some point, liberals – and many moderates – will have to decide where their allegiance lies: with Hillary Clinton or with Bernie Sanders. And for some, that decision won’t be easy. Because it may involve choosing between principles and pragmatism. As a friend of mine put it the other night, “My heart is with Bernie, but my head is with Hillary.” Any of the Republican candidates would move the country sharply to the right. On health care, foreign policy, wealth disparity, climate change, workers’ rights, gun control: A Republican president would lead us in a dramatically different direction on key issues. And a Republican president would strengthen the conservative weight on the Supreme Court when a vacancy occurs there. The key outcome of the Democrats’ presidential primary process has to be nominating the person most able to defeat the nominee of the Republican Party as it is now. But many of us aren’t happy with Clinton, the Democrat everybody seems to assume is the most electable. Wall Street’s influence, the Clinton Foundation, her tendency to embrace military solutions to conflicts: those are just some of our concerns. Bernie Sanders has managed to pull Clinton leftward, but I wouldn’t count on her staying there. Conservatives aren’t the only ones who worry about her trustworthiness. And so the dilemma regarding principles. Ensuring a successful democracy is a balancing act. And in this country, clearly, we’re out of balance. Too much wealth, economic power, and political power is in the hands of too few people. Too many people are poor. Too many people lack affordable health insurance and affordable, quality education. We don’t adequately finance our infrastructure, our scientific research, our education. The United States is not an example of capitalism at its best. Far from it. And Sanders has been doggedly pursuing reform in key areas for years.
Is Bernie Sanders electable? In part, that may depend on how effective his critics are at using labels to scare voters.”
But is he electable? In part, that may depend on how effective his critics are at using labels to scare voters. Sanders is a democratic socialist. And the way some of his critics talk, you’d think that means that Vladimir Putin himself is pulling Sanders’ strings. So it would be good to keep in mind what socialism is, and what democratic socialism is. A recent Washington Post article by Max Ehrenfreund has a neat analysis. “Socialists,” Ehrenfreund writes, “believe that the government should provide a wide range of basic services to its citizens free of charge or at a discount, typically including university education and health care as well as child care, housing, telecommunications, energy, and more in some countries. They believe that these services should be available to everyone, not just the neediest.” As with democracy, different socialist countries have adopted different forms of socialism. And, Ehrenfreund notes, there’s a difference between socialism and the democratic socialism that Sanders embraces. Sanders isn’t proposing doing away with our representative form of government. He doesn’t want the government to take over a lot of the private sector. But he does want to end the influence by the wealthy over what government does. And he, like many of us, believes that things like health care are a right, not a privilege. Socialism “isn’t just a list of economic prescriptions for government,” Ehrenfreund writes. “Perhaps above all, socialism is a moral view. It is the idea that people share something, that we’re all in this together, that we’ve got to help each other out.” continues on page 10

Duffy strikes again
Rochester Business Alliance CEO Bob Duffy was appointed chair of the AIM Photonics Leadership Council, which ticked off some local leaders who say they weren’t consulted. AIM Photonics is the federal integrated-photonics manufacturing institute that’s based in Rochester, and the Leadership Council is one of two boards governing it. Duffy also played a role in an early dustup over the institute’s headquarters.

SAFE is safe
NUTRITION | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN
A federal appeals court upheld the main parts of New York’s SAFE Act gun-control law, which bans certain semi-automatic weapons and restricts magazine capacity, according to the Associated Press. But the appeals court sided with a lower court and struck down the law’s seven-cartridge limit on ammunition magazines. In its ruling, the appeals court said that the SAFE Act is consistent with the Constitution’s Second Amendment.

Margaret O’Neill, program director of the Friends of the Rochester Public Market, helps customers exchange SNAP benefits for wooden tokens they can spend at the market. FILE PHOTO
Customers who receive support from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program can use their debit-like benefit card to redeem small wooden coins that can be used to buy fresh produce and other foods from the market’s vendors. Nearly all of the vendors accept the tokens, which come in $1 and $5 denominations. The token program is also used by five other farmers’ markets in or around the Rochester area, including the South Wedge and Westside markets. The Rochester Public Market partnered with the other markets to land a $178,902 federal grant for the marketing campaign, which may include billboards and bus wraps, says Margaret O’Neill, program director of the Friends of the Rochester Public Market. The grant will also pay for a SNAP token center at the Rochester market.
The market can be elbow-to-elbow during peak times, O’Neill says, and a standalone token center will move the exchange process along quicker. Several state agencies developed the token program for New York, which operates on a voluntary basis with market vendors. The program’s a hit in Rochester, O’Neill says. The Public Market sold more than $500,000 in tokens in 2014, she says, and is on pace to beat that this year. The Rochester market accounts for more than 30 percent of all token sales statewide, O’Neill says. More than 70 percent of the money is spent on fruits and vegetables, she says, while about 5 percent is spent on meat and fish. There’s a down side to the program’s success, though, O’Neill says: that the program is so well-used illustrates the level of poverty in the Rochester area.

Maggie Brooks says she’s looking at a few opportunities in both the public and private sectors when her time as Monroe County executive comes to an end this year. Most of the chatter has Brooks taking over as head of the RGRTA. And the idea isn’t far-fetched.
POLITICS | BY JEREMY MOULE
Where’s Maggie Brooks going? Maggie Brooks has been a fixture in county government for two decades, acting as Monroe County executive for the last 12 years and before that, county clerk. But in just a couple of months, term limits will force her from office. But Brooks says she isn’t going away — and no one expects her to scour online job listings or beg friends for references. County scandals have tarnished her legacy somewhat, but Brooks is still a political star. Brooks says she’s looking at a few opportunities in both the public and private sectors, and there’s speculation that she could follow the lead of some other Republicans and go to the Monroe County Water Authority. But most of the chatter has Brooks taking over as head of the RGRTA. And the idea isn’t far-fetched. A few weeks ago, WHAM radio host Bob Lonsberry tweeted that the RGRTA board took a vote on whether to fire Bill Carpenter, the transit agency’s CEO. It appears, however, that no official vote was held, but that the board may have taken a straw vote behind the scenes. The word is that though the board doesn’t currently have the votes to oust Carpenter, it may try to reach a deal with
the CEO that has Carpenter out by the end of the year. The motive reportedly isn’t political; some board members are apparently unhappy with Carpenter’s leadership style. They’re particularly upset that he didn’t consult the board before declaring that the agency wouldn’t renew the city school district’s busing contract. (The agency and Maggie Brooks, future RGRTA chief?

But either way, if Carpenter is out, rumors say, then Brooks is in.
Lock that Glock Democratic County Legislator Ernest Flagler-Mitchell says that while people have a Second Amendment right to own guns, they also have a responsibility to safely and securely store them. Flagler-Mitchell has released legislation requiring Monroe County gun owners to either store their firearms in locked, tamperresistant cases and safes or to secure them with tamper-proof locking devices, such as trigger locks. It also requires gun owners to immediately report firearm or ammunition theft to law enforcement. The proposal is meant to cut off a source of crime guns in the City of Rochester. Approximately 60 percent of the crime guns recovered by the Rochester Police Department were, at some point, legally owned within Monroe County, department officials say. Many of the guns were stolen during burglaries. But if the referral passes — and odds are that Republicans will reject the proposal — enforcement could be a challenge. Flagler-Mitchell acknowledges that police and sheriff’s deputies can’t simply enter gun owners’ homes to see if their guns are locked up. Flagler-Mitchell says that the legislation is in response to continued gun violence nationally and locally, particularly the recent mass shootings in the city: one at the Boys and Girls Club on Genesee Street and one at a house party on Woodward Street. Flagler-Mitchell’s cousin, Herbert Thomas, was killed in the house party shooting.

ENDORSEMENTS | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN
City Council: a vote for experience The lack of Republican participation in city politics means that the Democratic primary elections, in many cases, decide who wins the office. Your choice is essentially limited to two or more people whose viewpoints probably aren’t very different. Active third parties do exist in Monroe County — the Green Party, in particular — but they haven’t yet been able to mount competitive campaigns. So, true to form, this year’s general election for City Council mostly features well-known Democratic incumbents and practically unknown third-party challengers. All four district seats are up this year on Council. The general election is on Tuesday, November 3. It would be difficult to overstate the challenges facing the
City of Rochester over the next few years. The city continues its struggle with concentrated poverty, loss of manufacturing jobs, and pockets of violence in some neighborhoods. Rochester was one of several cities to experience an uptick in shootings this summer. Among short-term issues, the city has reorganized the police department, and Council will have to decide whether neighborhood precincts will be part of that. City Council will also decide how to implement a police body-camera program, and whether Rochester needs a new downtown theater. This is not the time for rookies, which is a big reason why we are sticking by the endorsements we made in the primary elections. For City Council, that’s Elaine Spaull in the East
District, Adam McFadden in the South District, and Molly Clifford in the Northwest District. Spaull and McFadden are incumbents. Clifford is not, but she’s a longtime player in Democratic politics and has held a few positions with the City of Rochester. Democrat Michael Patterson is the incumbent in the Northeast District, but he has declined to speak or meet with City, so we cannot endorse him. Patterson was appointed to Council in 2013 and previously served on the Monroe County Legislature. He is also Metro Justice’s former social action chair. Metro Justice advocates on social and economic justice issues.

East District
Elaine Spaull, executive director of the Center for Youth, is seeking her third term representing the East District, which includes part of downtown and well-off neighborhoods in southeast Rochester as well as the more challenged Beechwood neighborhood. Spaull is a ubiquitous presence in her district and in the broader city. She’s smart, engaged, and knowledgeable about the challenges and opportunities in the city. Council is better with her there. She is being challenged by Green Party candidate Anthony Giordano, owner of Anthony’s Olde-Fashioned Birch Beer. Giordano is well-intentioned and passionate about issues that directly affect city residents, such as snowplowing and red-light cameras, but that’s simply no match for Spaull’s experience, skills, and commitment. Northwest District
Molly Clifford has held several different positions with the city, the last being director of fire administration. She is currently executive director of Community Health Strategies in Rochester. Clifford is also the former head of the Monroe County Democratic Committee, and she led the campaign that got Bob Duffy into the mayor’s office in 2006. The Northwest District includes the Brown Square, Charlotte, Dutchtown, Maplewood, JOSANA, Lyell-Otis, and Edgerton-DeweyDriving Park neighborhoods. 6 CITY
OCTOBER 21-27, 2015
Molly Clifford FILE PHOTO
Clifford is being challenged by Perry Johnson, who is running independently on the Citizens of Northwest Unite party line, and by the Green Party’s Dorothy Paige. Clifford’s familiarity with city issues and city government means that she will hit the ground running, and she already has a relationship with many Council members, local businesses, and neighborhood groups. She’s also knowledgeable about the issues in the northwest and has specific ideas to improve the quality of life there, such as possible partnerships between MCC’s Damon Campus and Eastman Business Park. Perry Johnson, a childcare worker at Villa of Hope in Greece, is enthusiastic about representing the Northwest District, and you have to admire someone who jumps into the race out of pure desire to improve the city. But compared to Clifford, his knowledge is thin. Dorothy Paige is an interesting woman who seems to lead an eclectic, remarkable life. She has travelled widely and spends summers at the Renaissance Festival, cleaning bathrooms and sleeping in a tent. She’s also a counselor at Genesis House, a shelter for homeless youth in the city. Clifford owes her career to political patronage, Paige says, while she would be the voice of the people. Paige wants more affordable housing in the city and more programs that work with the homeless. She’s against the Port of Rochester redevelopment project, which would put a hotel and condos at the port; Clifford says the project is too big.
Adam McFadden FILE PHOTO
Paige also says that the city should look into micro housing for the homeless. Our endorsement goes to Clifford. She works hard, is personable and responsive, and has done well in the positions she’s held in city government. Her opponents just don’t measure up. South District
Adam McFadden is a candid, committed representative. He’s particularly passionate about public safety issues and speaks with authority and authenticity for many residents of the inner city. Many people seem to consider him their first point of contact when they’re having an issue with the police department. He is being challenged for the South District seat by the Green Party’s Alex White, who has run for mayor and for City Council in the past. The district covers the 19th Ward, SWAN, Upper Mount Hope, Lilac, Highland Park, South Wedge, and Susan B. Anthony neighborhoods. White, owner of Boldo’s Armory on Monroe Avenue, has grown since he came onto the political scene in 2011. He understands that while victory is a long shot, third-party candidates can make mainstream candidates focus on issues that might otherwise be overlooked. But some of White’s assertions strain belief, such as when he says that the City of Rochester got the idea to outfit police officers with body cameras from his past campaign platforms. McFadden is the best choice.
Matthew McDermott FILE PHOTO
Matthew McDermott is one of five candidates running for Rochester school board in the November 3 general election. He’s running on the Working Families line. School board races are not headto-head; the top vote-getters win the seats. So McDermott will be competing against incumbents Malik Evans, Mary Adams, Willa Powell, and newcomer Liz Hallmark. All four won the Democratic primary in September. City endorses Evans, Adams, Powell, and Hallmark. McDermott lacks depth on the issues. McDermott is a small-business owner and a newcomer to city politics. He says he wants to help city parents become better informed about the district’s schools and the programs they offer. McDermott says that the district’s school choice program, which he says is too complicated. A return to neighborhood schools would encourage families to stay in the city, he says.

ernie Sanders’ presidential campaign is surging. Many media outlets reported late last month that the 74-year-old socialist raised at least $24 million in the third quarter, not far behind the $28 million reportedly raised by Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton. More and more Americans are tuning in to the grumpy grandfather who never strays from his message and who rails against income inequality and the corruption of US politics wrought by the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision. Sanders comes across as stern and sincere, shaking a crooked finger as he insists that only a “political revolution” can save ordinary Americans from the predations of the “billionaire class.” Sanders’ popularity has surprised pundits trapped inside the Beltway, but not people closely acquainted with his political biography. They’ve watched his evolution from a fringe candidate of the far-left Liberty Union Party in the 1972 governor’s race, to mayor of the state’s largest city nine years later, to his current status as one of Vermont’s most popular politicians. Sanders won re-election to his US Senate seat in 2012 with 71 percent of the vote. Sanders-watchers say that many of the attributes now becoming evident to voters outside Vermont are the same ones that have helped Sanders assemble everbroader majorities in the Green Mountain State over the last 35 years. A look at the factors behind his first electoral victory — as mayor of Burlington in 1981 — and his subsequent ascent to the national political scene in the 1990 race for Vermont’s sole US House seat helps explain his growing appeal. Underlying all of Sanders’ electoral successes is his ability to win the support of white working-class voters. Sanders’ friends, former campaign staff, and academic analysts who have watched him over the decades agree on the elements that comprise his political repertoire: charisma, authenticity, trustworthiness, and simplicity and consistency of message. Sanders wins respect among moderates and even some conservatives, these sources say, by abstaining from ideology and by taking a pragmatic, but always principled approach to governing and legislating. “Bernie doesn’t talk in terminology laden with Marxist lingo,” says Terry Bouricius, a Burlington activist who helped Sanders achieve his upset mayoral breakthrough. “His socialism is more like liberation theology. He speaks about economic injustice as something ‘immoral,’ not as ‘the inevitable product of capitalism.’” As a candidate who has lost six elections, Sanders has always displayed doggedness and “political fearlessness,” adds University of Vermont religion professor Richard Sugarman, Sanders’ longtime friend. Sanders is unintimidated by the forces arrayed against him, adds Erhard Mahnke, another Sanders ally. “People see that Bernie has a fighting spirit, that he means it when he says he’s on the side of vulnerable, low-income, ordinary Americans. He’s not packaged.” Sanders has also been the beneficiary of sheer good luck, especially in the two pivotal races of his career. By 1980, Bernie Sanders had earned a reputation as
a perennial loser at the ballot box. But University of Vermont political science professor Garrison Nelson recalls that as the Reagan decade was dawning, a perfect storm was gathering in Burlington. Sanders’ friend Sugarman felt the wind shift. He

pointed out to his then-39-year-old friend and political soulmate that Burlington had been the source of Sanders’ highest vote percentages in the statewide races he had run in the 1970’s as a Liberty Union candidate. Sanders, Sugarman suggested in 1980, should run for mayor against four-term Democratic mayor Gordon Paquette. “I told him he had a chance, a small chance, to actually win,” Sugarman says. Sanders sympathizers were also galvanized by the election of archconservative Ronald Reagan as president. Paquette, a working-class Democrat who had compiled a partly liberal record, had meanwhile alienated big chunks of the electorate by calling for a steep rise in residential property taxes. And in what would become an incongruous characteristic of his socialist politics, Sanders was opposed to raising taxes. In the run-up to the ’81 election, Paquette “managed to piss off tenants, the cops, and firefighters,” political science prof Nelson notes, by failing to address the issue of rising rents and by opposing pay raises for members of the police and fire departments. Sanders supported those wage demands, again departing from left-wing orthodoxy — this time by refusing to view the police with suspicion, let alone outright animosity. Sanders would never adopt the ’60’s leftist rhetoric of cops as “pigs.” He instead viewed them as “workers,” Sugarman points out. The Burlington police union rewarded Sanders by endorsing him for mayor of a mostly Catholic and WASP-y city. “That was the key to the race,” says Huck Gutman, Sanders’ friend of four decades, who would later serve as his chief of staff in the US Senate. The insurgent was simultaneously adding to Paquette’s political pain by portraying the mayor as a tool of realestate interests seeking to build high-rise, high-priced condominiums downtown on scenic Lake Champlain.

Sanders’ slogan, “the waterfront is not for sale,” proved powerful, Sugarman says. But even with all of these weather systems converging, Paquette might have survived the Sanders storm if he had seen it coming. “The Democrats didn’t pull out all the stops in that race,” recalls Bouricius, who has made a career of analyzing election reform. “They couldn’t imagine that someone like Bernie could actually win.” A mano-a-mano bout might likewise have ended in a Paquette victory. But as luck would have it, Sanders benefited from a spoiler. Richard Bove, a restaurant owner and erstwhile ally of Paquette’s, had secured a spot on the mayoral ballot out of pique at a perceived slight by the Democratic establishment, Nelson says. Bove got about 400 votes, and “all those votes would have gone to Paquette,” Nelson says. Instead, Sanders managed to squeak out a 10-vote victory. The sort of political revolution that Sanders is urging today actually occurred on a smaller scale in what soon became known as “the People’s Republic of Burlington.” Sanders became a hands-on mayor who
practiced the principles of “Sewer Socialism.” In keeping with the precedent set by a series of progressive mayors of Milwaukee in the first half of the 20th century, he focused on effective and efficient delivery of basic municipal services. Voters also affirmed the radical mayor’s affordable-housing initiatives, as his three re-election victories would attest. “He couldn’t be portrayed as a tax-andspend liberal,” Mahnke says. “He was all about making government more efficient and
more effective. For him, plowing the streets was a vital responsibility.” Bitterly opposed by the city’s Democratic establishment, Sanders succeeded by attracting a set of bright staffers. They were fiercely dedicated to the causes championed by a mayor who was often irascible with staff behind the scenes. He was soon looking to advance to higher offices. Sanders ran for governor in 1986 and the US House in 1988, but lost both races. His stage-left entry on the national political scene in 1990 — when he finally managed to win a statewide race — was made possible, in part, by his opponent’s blunders. Incumbent Republican House member Peter Smith, who had beaten Sanders by four percentage points in a six-way race in 1988, alienated many conservative Vermonters, Nelson says, by insulting President George H.W. Bush and by casting a vote that caused the National Rifle Association to campaign against him. Bush flew into Burlington in the fall of 1990 to help Smith stave off Sanders’ challenge. But the intended beneficiary of Bush’s benediction proceeded to criticize the president’s tax policy on the stage they were sharing. Smith had also voted for a ban on assault weapons after pledging his allegiance to the NRA’s policy of opposing any and all guncontrol measures. That spawned a negative ad campaign in hunter-friendly Vermont: “Smith & Wesson, Yes. Smith & Congress, No.” Sanders won the election by a 16-point margin. The mayor also benefited from the statewide recognition he had gained from earlier unsuccessful runs for governor and
the US House, according to then-campaign adviser John Franco. In 1988, Sanders, an independent, got twice as many votes as the Democratic US House candidate. He had proven he was more viable than the mainstream liberal. “It was the Democrat, not Bernie, who was seen as the potential spoiler in 1990,” Franco says. In 1990, Democrat Dolores Sandoval received just 3 percent of the vote. From there, Sanders would go on to win seven more elections to the House and to score easy victories in races for the US Senate in 2006 and 2012. Throughout all of his campaigns, the onceobscure outsider never departed from his central themes of fighting economic inequality and calling for reforms that would benefit working-class Americans. Voters who seldom support liberal Democrats let alone radical independents have responded by standing with Sanders. Mahnke remembers seeing in the 2000 election campaign “Bernie for Congress” signs on many of the same lawns in the state’s remote and rural Northeast Kingdom that were also displaying “Take Back Vermont” posters, signifying opposition to a controversial same-sex civil union law enacted earlier that year. How could this be? Why would many anti-gay rights residents of Vermont’s poorest and most conservative region simultaneously support a socialist? It isn’t as though Sanders sends coded signals on cultural and social issues, hinting that he’s on the right’s side. His record in Congress gets a thumbs-up from groups focused on gender equality and freedom of sexual identity. It’s that Sanders “doesn’t foreground those issues,” says Gutman, a friend of Sanders. Nelson agrees, framing Sanders’ approach this way: “His politics are horizontal, not vertical. Bernie’s class-focused arguments cut across the usual racial and ethnic lines. He’s seen, first and foremost, as the champion of the underdog.” During his 25 years in Congress — by far the
longest tenure of any independent — Sanders has raised his Brooklyn-accented voice to call for bank reform, a higher minimum wage, and steeper taxes on wealthy Americans. But he has also fought hard for a group rarely associated with socialist views: military veterans.
Although he voted against the war in Iraq, Sanders chaired the Senate veterans’ affairs panel for two years — the first time, political science prof Nelson says, that an independent has headed a US Congress committee. Throughout his full nine-year tenure on veterans’ affairs, Sanders has worked to safeguard and improve federal services for former members of the US armed forces, including health care delivered via the Veterans Administration. He cites the VA’s coverage as a successful example of single-payer health insurance. This involvement with vets is consistent with Sanders’ career-long advocacy for the interests of working-class Americans, Nelson says. “Veterans are mostly working-class guys who depend on federal aid,” he says. “It’s a perfect cause for Bernie.” That unwavering willingness to stick up for the little guy has won over plenty of conservative voters, Bouricius says. “I’ve got in-laws who always vote for Republicans — and for Bernie,” he says. “They say he’s their guy because he always speaks his mind.” “He doesn’t do focus groups,” Mahnke adds. “He doesn’t raise his finger to see which way the political wind is blowing.” In addition to avoiding leftist jargon, Sanders talks about down-home concerns that many radicals ignore. “They’re into macro,” Sugarman says. “Bernard is more about micro. He connects with people on the level of their lived experience — the quality of the schools their kids attend, for example.” Above all, suggests activist and lawyer Sandy Baird, “Bernie doesn’t fight the cultural wars. He was never a hippie. He can attract working-class votes because he is working class. He’s from an immigrant family that didn’t have a lot, so it’s clear that he knows of what he speaks.” Sanders has approached legislating in Congress the same way he handled administering a city — by presenting issues as moral choices to be made on behalf of, and with the support of, his constituents. Today, he’s campaigning for the highest office of them all, having launched the Bernie for President drive on the Burlington waterfront. Initially treated by national political savants as a figure for ridicule, Sanders has again shown that he can surprise those who underestimate him. As was the case 35 years ago in Burlington and 25 years ago in many parts of Vermont, big-dog Dems are saying Sanders has no chance of winning. His supporters haven’t gotten the message yet.

The United States already has plenty of socialist programs, and Americans seem quite fond of them: Social Security, Medicare, the federal highway system, unemployment insurance, federal dams, public libraries…. I grew up in the headquarters town of that huge socialist program, the Tennessee Valley Authority, and I’ve seen its impact first-hand: providing power to rural areas, preventing disastrous floods, boosting the region’s economic development, improving farming methods, and providing amazing recreational resources. And yes, during the debates about creating TVA, opponents fumed that it was a socialist program. Now a democratic socialist is running for president, and he’s considered unelectable. Despite the success of existing socialist programs, apparently a lot of the public can be cowed by the same scare tactics used against TVA in the 1930’s. But there’s an important exception: young adults, who have ignored the label twisting, are paying attention to what Sanders has said, and think he’s describing the kind of America they want to live in. The country would certainly be better off with Hillary Clinton as president than with any of the Republican candidates. But the need for reform – of the kind Sanders talks about – is enormous. How much compromise should we agree to? How much compromise is conscionable in areas like campaign finance, energy policy, and financial industry regulation? Against enormous odds, President Obama has managed to initiate critical changes in foreign policy. Clinton’s record is one of supporting aggressive US military involvement abroad. Given the conflicts in the world right now, it seems more than a small possibility that with a Clinton presidency, we would find ourselves drawn into more war – possibly involving Russia. How much compromise should we agree to? Increasingly, the voices and interests of the average person are overwhelmed by the people with money and power. That’s simple fact. Clinton talks like a progressive, and I think she does care about the poor and the middle class. But – not to echo Donald Trump – she has some other people to answer to. When big donors call, she’ll listen. The only power voters have is their vote (which is also, of course, increasingly under attack). So: pragmatism or principles? At what point do liberals compromise? And at what cost?

Tiny bubbles [ CHOW HOUND ] BY KATIE LIBBY
The origin of bubble tea goes back to the late 1980’s, when a product development manager for a teahouse in Taiwan poured her tapioca dessert into a glass of cold Chinese tea. The drink — which is usually tea mixed or shaken with fruit and with tapioca balls added, or some similar variation — has been available in Rochester for a number of years in Asian restaurants like Dac Hoa, Sodam, and He’s, among others. The mixed-texture drink with the unusually big straw is heavily featured on the menu at the new sushi restaurant in the East End, Bubble Fusion (200 East Avenue). Sean Zeng moved to Rochester from Connecticut four years ago to help out at his uncle’s restaurant, Lin’s Garden. “I have a big family that all own restaurants,” says Zeng, who has been in the restaurant industry for 13 years, and has spent the last six refining his sushi skills. Zeng opened Bubble Fusion on October 2 with the intention of focusing on fresh, quality ingredients for both the sushi and the bubble tea. “Some bubble tea places use frozen drinks,” Zeng says. “But here, we are brewing the tea every few hours and making the tapioca pearls fresh.”
Milk tea flavors such as chocolate, taro, and papaya are available ($3.50 for a medium, $4 for a large) as well as non-milk flavors like Assam Black and Golden Oolong — extra bubbles can be added for 50 cents. The menu at Bubble Fusion features a selection of Temari sushi, a style that produces a ball-shaped piece of sushi. “I wanted to do something fun and different,” Zeng says. “You can look at it like a little piece of art.” More traditional rolls, like the California ($5.50) and Philadelphia ($6), are also on the menu as well as a variety of fusion rolls such as the Fantastic ($13), which features tempura shrimp, cucumber, spicy tuna, avocado, tobiko, and soybean paper. On the dessert menu, the honey toast ($7.50) is meant to be shared and is made with crispy, toasted bread, honey, fruit, homemade mango sauce, and either green tea or sesame ice cream on top with a sprinkle of seaweed powder to give a bit of salty with the sweet flavors. Bubble Fusion is located at 200 East Avenue, and is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. 435-4770.

There’s a lightness to the whole atmosphere the band pumps out, kind of like the members are walking on air and pot smoke. Occasionally, the lyrics dip into the sad and heavy, but for the most part The Front Bottoms remind us not to take things so seriously.

When Fred Hersch played a solo concert in Windham, New York, in August of last year, he had no idea he was creating an album. But it was a particularly good night; he was, as he says in the liner notes, “in the zone,” and when he heard the recording, he decided to release it as “Solo.” It was an excellent decision coming on the heels of his 60th birthday. The album leaves no doubt that Hersch is at the top of his game. “Solo” begins with an exquisite medley of two tunes by Antonio Carlos Jobim: “Olha Maria” and “O Grande Amor.” Hersch continues with a nicely syncopated and re-harmonized rendition of Juan Tizol’s “Caravan” and a gorgeous original tune, “Pastorale,” dedicated to Robert Schumann. There are great versions of Jerome Kern’s “The Song Is You,” and Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now” and another, appropriately named, original, “Whirl.” But the album’s peak is Hersch’s treatment of Thelonious Monk’s “In Walked Bud.” He takes it on a journey that reaches all the way back to stride and barrelhouse piano, with every chorus a new adventure. — BY RON NETSKY

This here is a rock ‘n’ roll mug with a smile on its dial. Greg Townson brings a bright blast of classic, transistor radio pop to his follow up to last year’s “By Your Side.” On “My Friend the Night,” instead of wallowing in the inky noir of the wee hours, and those characters who knock about therein, the Rochester rocker brings the joy. As a solo artist, Townson rocks in a cheery, “aww shucks” kinda way, which is quite different than what he is capable of as exhibited by his lightning luchador licks in Los Straitjackets, or his work with The HiRisers. There are three sides to this affable cat. And this record allows Townson’s three outlets to shine. You can hear the frothy surf fun of Los Straitjackets on his take on Vince Guaraldi’s “Linus and Lucy”; Townson as the happy hour troubadour on “These Shoes of Mine”; and high-steppin’ good time rock ‘n’ roll on “Just a Little Bit more.” The playing and production are excellent, and the songwriting instantly classic. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Music roots-rock. The band made its mark in the burgeoning LA punk scene along with bands like X and Black Flag. As kids, the Alvin Brothers were infatuated with the blues and hung around blues clubs to see legends like T-Bone Walker, Big Joe Turner, and Sonny Terry, to name a few. As The Blasters, they got to rub elbows with legendary saxophonist Lee Allen (of Lloyd Price, Fats Domino, and Little Richard fame) who wound up joining the band. Dave left the band in 1986 to pursue a solo career while Phil continued on with The Blasters and solo work of his own. The brothers wouldn’t work again until that phone call.

Dave Alvin’s phone rang. “Your brother’s dead,” the voice said on the other end. “I was in California,” Dave says in the present day, remembering that phone call. “And he was in Spain. It was like 45 minutes to an hour of darkness until I got another phone call saying, ‘He’s in a coma; he’s alive, he’s going to be okay.’” Dave and his brother, Phil, had been somewhat estranged and for the most part hadn’t worked together for 30 years. It took his brother’s temporary death to get them back together. “He died,” Dave says. “And was brought back to life. In that almost hour 14 CITY OCTOBER 21-27, 2015
period of mourning, I was regretting things we hadn’t done. And as trivial as it sounds I regretted that we hadn’t recorded things like ‘Cherry Red Blues’ or all the Big Bill Broonzy songs we grew up loving. So when I got the phone call saying he’s going to be alright, that set everything in motion in my brain. ‘Let’s put everything aside — solo careers, this, that, and the other — and let’s just make some friggin’ music together.’” The resulting Dave Alvin and Phil Alvin record was last year’s Grammynominated “Common Ground,” a collection of Big Bill Broonzy tunes the brothers had listened to while growing up. And to make up for lost time, the brothers have just released its follow-up, “Lost Time”: another collection of music they loved from their days growing up in Downey, California. Dave and Phil Alvin founded The Blasters in 1979. The band was incendiary, mixing various high-energy styles with a driving back beat and bravado. The Blasters simply called it “American music.” It was a magnificent amalgam of blues, R&B, rockabilly, rock ‘n’ roll, and
So Dave and Phil Alvin are back. It ain’t The Blasters, but it kinda sounds like it. Dave doesn’t necessarily disagree. “At times it does,” he says. “I mean, it is the Alvin Brothers, so it only makes sense to sound a little like a Blasters record.” Though Alvin concedes some of this record could have been done with The Blasters, it wasn’t what he and his brother were aiming for. “The issue with The Blasters is,” he says, “The Blasters is a band and it was known for certain things. And I didn’t want that sort of heaviness, I just wanted to make an Alvin Brothers record. Because, if you include the band members, there’re five different opinions. The Blasters was always a democracy. Everybody had an equal say in everything. And I just wanted to make some records where just the two Alvin brothers have a say.” And where they could make up for lost time. Hell, it’s the album’s title. “It’s sort of a play on having not made a record in 30-odd years,” Alvin says. “It goes back to the five years we were in The Blasters. It really goes back to childhood; the back cover of the album is a picture of us as teenagers with Big Joe Turner, Hoppy Hopkins, and you know, that time is lost. A lot of our adopted brothers are gone, some of our closest friends are gone. So it all kinda ties in with there’s a lot of lost time. “And it’s not just the time we didn’t spend making music together, just time in general. We did four Big Joe Turner songs on the record because we wanted to capture a little bit of Big Joe.” Big Joe’s influence was all over The Blasters. Ditto for the brother’s new

project. Turner showed Phil Alvin how to sing when he was 14. Nobody comes closer to Big Joe Turner’s Kansas City shout and bluesy bellow than Phil. With so much referential and reverential history going in and coming out of “Lost Time,” it’s hard to classify it. Is it rock ‘n’ roll? Is it blues? Is it Americana? Simple. “It’s a blues record,” Alvin says. “Blues to me is a pretty broad definition. Blues doesn’t necessarily sound one or two ways. There’s a million ways to play the blues. Muddy Waters played it one way; Big Bill Broonzy played it another; Miles Davis played it another; The Allman Brothers, Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys, played it another way. It all boils down to the form, but I always considered The Blasters’ and my own solo records as blues records.” Front to back, “Lost Time” is a beautiful record. It’s the Alvin Brothers saluting their heroes. There’re the four songs by Big Joe Turner as well as songs in the public domain, and stuff by James Brown, Willie Dixon, and so on. The playing is interpretive yet appropriate. Phil bellows and wails while Dave’s guitar slithers and stings. It’s infectious, irresistible, and menacing. “Selecting the songs was easy,” Dave says. “They’re just songs we’ve always loved. We picked songs we’d sung or loved all of our lives. Songs like ‘Cherry Red Blues’ and ‘Hide and Seek.’ The biggest problem we had was a lot of the great blues material from the early 60’s backwards has been done so much, so many times by so many artists. The world doesn’t need another version of ‘Hoochie Coochie Man.’ ‘Sweet Home Chicago’? No thank you.” Though the man is making up for lost time, Dave hasn’t made any plans for record number three with his brother. “I never make plans until it’s time to make them,” he says. “The only plan I’ve made is ‘Hey I wanna quit my day job.’ And I’ve managed to stay away from that day job for 30 some years. So it’s working on some level.” When pressed about the Alvin Brothers’ legacy, Alvin laughs. One hundred years from now, what will they say about Dave and Phil Alvin? “Probably the first thing they’ll say is ‘Who?’ If anything, they might say ‘The one guy was a helluva singer and the other guy could write a pretty good song.”’

FOLK/JAZZ | JEN CHAPIN
There is no doubt that Jen Chapin is a contemporary singer-songwriter, offering cutting-edge tunes both personal and political. But her superb band consists of two top jazz players: Stephan Crump on bass and Jamie Fox on guitar. The result is a unique mix of genres that nicely fits Chapin’s original songs. Of course, there is always a chance she will throw in a tune by Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell, or her father, the late Harry Chapin. Jen Chapin plays Sunday, October 25, at Lovin’ Cup, 300 Park Point Drive. 7 p.m. $15-$20. bopshop.com; jenchapin.com. — BY RON NETSKY

Much possessed by death “The Duchess of Malfi” PRESENTED BY WALLBYRD THEATRE COMPANY REVIEWED FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16 CONTINUES THROUGH SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24 MUCCC, 142 ATLANTIC AVENUE 7:30 P.M. | $12-$18 | MUCCC.ORG; WALLBYRD.COM [ REVIEW ] BY LEAH STACY
The little-known Jacobean tragedy “The Duchess of Malfi” was penned in the early 17th century by English playwright John Webster, a master of macabre in his own right. It was performed at the Globe and has remained a highly respected and deeply analyzed text in theatrical realms (particularly higher education). But it’s not often that it’s actually performed — or even referenced in popular culture (though Webster’s works notably inspired T.S. Eliot’s poem “Whispers of Immortality.”) Under the artistic direction of Virgina Monte, WallByrd Theatre Company — one of the newest ensemble groups in town — has taken on an ambitious task in performing Webster’s mammoth five-act work. The script is lengthy, and the language is dense (the play is part of the era of Jacobean drama, which immediately followed Shakespeare and the Elizabethan era). The plot centers on a recently widowed duchess in Amalfi, Italy, who secretly remarries against the wishes of 18 CITY OCTOBER 21-27, 2015
her two brothers, eliciting their disapproval and eventual revenge. In traditional Webster fashion, it’s a dark, ghostly tale — perfect for this time of year. Monte’s vision for “The Duchess of Malfi” isn’t set in coastal Italy, however. It’s set in the South during the Civil War, making the duchess a Southern Belle rather than a Southern Italian. This bold choice — while admirable and political considering current events and the themes of the play — does compound the already winding plot. Frequent European and 17th-century cultural references throughout the show were not changed accordingly, which caused head scratching and blank looks in the crowd from those who weren’t familiar with the plot. (The company included an act-by-act synopsis in the playbill, which was helpful but provided spoilers throughout the show.) The cast of 13 is filled with varying levels of skill, training and talent. Avid local theatregoers will recognize Emily Putnam, who plays the duchess, from her recent roles in “Rainbow Fish: the Musical” at the Fringe in September and Pittsford Musicals’ production of “Next to Normal” in June. Putnam is a true triple threat, versatile in her appearance, and formally trained enough to master almost any character she plays. The amount of lines in this production, coupled with heightened emotion, a Southern accent, and several hoop skirts that may have their own zip codes made Putnam’s contributions to the show very impressive indeed. The only downfall was her onstage
chemistry with Vincenzo McNeill, who played the duchess’s secret husband, Antonio Bologna. The relationship is clearly a catalyst in the play, but it was hard to decipher whether the two married for love or convenience (and perhaps that was how the director chose to advise). Other standout members of the cast included Carl Del Buono (Castruccio/ Mad Man/Soldier), who delivered reactions and authenticity to each of his roles; Alec Powell (Ferdinand), who was especially delightful to watch after his character’s psychological decline; Jaimi Miller (Cariola), whose bond to the duchess creates one of the strongest emotional moments in the play; Matthew Moore (Cardinal), who plays a vicious character and has a solid grasp of the language; and Jessamyn Slon (Julia/Mad Woman), who should have been given more opportunities to sing in the show. There were some difficulties with the heaviness of the language and the inconsistent accents that most of the cast struggled to maintain. James Lockhart, who played the demanding role of Daniel de Bosola, had great fervor and energy onstage, but was often impeded by the language when he spoke too quickly. The switch to Southern culture did make way for aesthetically stunning costumes by the director’s mother, Linda Monte (though there were a few gasps whenever the silken hoop skirts were accidentally closed in the narrow MuCCC doors leading on and offstage). The set design was largely left to the imagination, consisting of a few desks, chairs, and benches that were repurposed throughout the show. Props were minimal as well; the guns, daggers, and stage blood used in the fight scenes were the most striking visual aids. MuCCC’s pews and theater seats were slightly rearranged for this production, creating a black box theatre feel. It was, again, a bold choice — but because only a few people chose to sit on the far right side of the auditorium entrance, it was distracting to focus on the stage work with someone at eye level across the way. The show clocks in at about three and a half hours of stage time, which is a long duration for both audience and cast members to successfully navigate. Overall, there’s plenty to admire about this production. If “The Duchess of Malfi” is any indication, Wallbyrd has an incredible amount of potential. It’ll be interesting to see what the company learns from this production — and what they choose to produce next.

Art Visions of vibrancy “Art for the People: Carl W. Peters and the Rochester WPA Murals” THROUGH JANUARY 3 MEMORIAL ART GALLERY, 500 UNIVERSITY AVENUE WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY, 11 A.M. TO 5 P.M.; THURSDAY UNTIL 9 P.M. $5-$14 | 276-8900; MAG.ROCHESTER.EDU [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
In flourishing civilizations, public art was funded by the ruling class as a marker of how well society was doing. But in America today, arts funding always seems to be first on the chopping block. So it’s rather amazing that during the Great Depression, when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s New Deal sought to create jobs for the throngs of unemployed Americans, some of that funding was reserved for artists. The Memorial Art Gallery’s new exhibit provides a fascinating window into how the Works Progress Administration benefitted Rochester artists, through preparatory drawings for WPA-commissioned murals, and other related objects. The core of the exhibit is formed by Carl W. Peters’ studies for WPA-commissioned murals he created in Rochester, as well as reproductions of the murals. Some of these murals still stand in Rochester today, in high schools and at the former Fairport Library, now the Fairport Historical Society. A few, such as “Rochester, Past, Present, and Future,” which was installed in what is now the Times Square Building, have been destroyed by renovations. Peters’ drawings and paintings were donated to the MAG in 2009 by Nancy Miller Batty, whose family was close to the Peters family. The works had languished in her family’s basement since Peters’ widow asked the Millers to help manage his estate 30 years prior. In the murals, Peters has flattened out space with thick outlines and packed layers of activity in the fore, middle, and backgrounds. His use of color is vibrant and at times unexpected, with saturated shadows or the rosiest highlight on a cheek. The scenes are downright utopian, full of beautiful, healthy, hardy people with stoic expressions, each engaged in different modes of work that are represented to be as crucial as the next. There is a storybook sentiment to these visions of harmony, whether depicting 22 CITY OCTOBER 21-27, 2015
contemplative, farming, or industrial life. Not all of the murals focused on industry. Peters also painted historic scenes of Rochester, such as “The History of the Lake Ontario Region” at Charlotte High School, which showcases the shift in lakeside life from the Seneca to the settlers. The murals reveal a respect for regional history, as in the scene of hardworking farmers in “The Early Days on the Erie Canal,” his 1938 mural still on view at the Fairport Historical Society. They also showcase the resilience of the human spirit — and the desire for good, dignified work — through the darkest days of the Depression. “Almost all of the history that I’ve retained in any significant way, I’ve learned through art,” says MAG’s Curator of American Art Jessica Marten, who assembled this impressive exhibit. “That’s how history becomes meaningful to me, and this is a great example of that,” she says. The exhibit also provides ample
information about the history of the Depression, FDR’s New Deal, the origins of the Works Progress Administration, and the other ways the WPA benefitted Rochester, including improvements made to our city’s infrastructure. For example, one display case holds a “WPA in the Flower City” pamphlet and a construction report opened to a page with photographs of a stretch of Dewey Avenue, before and after it was paved. Another display case holds a “Work, Progress, Action” board game, with cards that have both beneficial directives and setbacks like project defunding and taxes. The sole monetary denomination is a stack of million-dollar bills. Dozens of watercolor, charcoal, or pastel studies complement reproduction of the finished murals, allowing visitors a unique behind-the-scenes peek at the artist’s process. Viewers are privy to decisions Peters made between preliminary pitches to the finished product. Also present are some documentary photographs of Peters on-project and various assistants helping to bring the murals to life. Some of the images are rather raw, and contain stains or puncture marks from being tacked to a studio wall. “These drawings were used as tools. They were not meant to be framed and hung on walls,” Marten says. The story of the WPA in Rochester is
connected to the MAG not only because of

its valuable archive, but also because MAG leaders and sisters, Gertrude Herdle Moore and Isabel Herdel, were champions of Peters’ work. In addition to being awarded 14 WPA mural commissions in Rochester, Peters held a teaching position at the MAG’s Creative Workshop. The Federal Art Project branch of the WPA is the arm that benefitted artists nationally and locally. Peters, who had already made his name as a talented painter, was having trouble selling work and so he enrolled in the program. The presence of three atmospheric oil paintings Peters made in the 1920’s and ’30s truly showcase how different his own work was from what he created for the general public. It is easy to feel the chill in the air when viewing Peters’ paintings, which depict sweeping vistas of snow under crisp skies, or columns of steam rising among bright bricks and the muddy Genesee under blanketing clouds above.
He had a strange knack for making the dirty dregs of winter look bright, even uplifting, and a certain ability to make a still picture of the Rochester of almost a century ago feel fresh and alive today. One of the exhibit’s side room contains a series of stylized PSA posters, regarding breastfeeding, tooth-brushing, and getting tested for syphilis, created by Rochester Federal Art Project supervisor, Eric Hans Krause. In another room, visitors can watch “Enough to Live On: The Arts of the WPA,” as well as a video produced by WXXI about the recent Wilson Magnet High School student mural project, for which students created a mural to accompany the two Peters’ murals in their auditorium.

KIDS/THEATER | “THE TRIAL OF THE BIG BAD WOLF”
There are two sides to every story. In “The Trial of the Big Bad Wolf,” the iconic children’s story baddie gets the chance to tell his side — and he may not be so bad. In front of the three little pigs, a judge, and a jury consisting of Little Red Riding Hood, Miss Mary, Cinderella, and other fairy tale favorites, the Wolf reopens his case with all new facts and perspectives to present. “The Trial of the Big Bad Wolf,” suitable for all ages, is a spoof on the original story of the three little pigs and explores who really is to blame. The show runs Friday, October 23, through Sunday, October 25, and Friday, October 30, through Sunday, November 1, at Kodak Center for Performing Arts’ Studio Theatre (200 West Ridge Road). Fridays at 7 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m. $10 for children 12 and under; $18 for students and seniors; $20 for adults. kodakcenter.org. — BY OLIVIA LOPEZ Ave., Brockport 637-1050. seymourlibraryweb.org.

THEATER | FESTIVAL OF NEW THEATRE 2015 HOME FURNISHINGS
Geva Theatre Center’s Festival of New Theatre 2015 will be held at the Fielding Nextstage from Wednesday, October 21, through Sunday, November 1, featuring exciting new works by a mix of playwrights from across the country and in our own stomping grounds. During the festival, audiences can get a glimpse into the writers’ studios as playwrights work on new ideas, tell new stories, and explore new forms. Viewers’ responses during post-reading discussions with writers play a crucial role in helping the playwrights understand the impact of their work.
WENDELL CASTLE COLLECTION
This year’s lineup includes “Cry It Out” by Molly Smith Metzler, directed by Amanda Charlton, about a new suburban mom in desperate need of a Mom Friend (held October 23 at 7 p.m.); “Fault Lines” by George Sapio, directed by Ralph Meranto, about rivalrous sisters whose tenuous relations are tested after a robbery (held October 25 at 7 p.m.); “Drowned” by Bill Capossere, directed by Jean Gordon Ryon, about how neighbors deal with loss, mortality, and guilt after a tragic accident (held October 28 at 7 p.m.); and the Young Writers Showcase (held October 31 and November 1 at 3 p.m.), which features several short plays by Rochester-area writers between the ages of 13 and 18. A full lineup of readings and events is available on Geva’s website. Admission to the festival readings is free, but reservations are required. Call the Geva Theatre Center Box Office at 232-4382 or visit gevatheatre.org for tickets. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Nightmares and dreamscapes “Crimson Peak”
But those expecting a traditionally terrifying tour through Guillermo del Toro’s impeccably art directed nightmares might be in for some disappointment with the director’s latest, “Crimson Peak.” Though a haunted house story through and through, the film is even more the director’s stab (no pun intended) at a gothic romance, having more in common with “Rebecca” than something like “The Amityville Horror.” A slow build, “Crimson Peak” gives us time to get on its decidedly old-fashioned wavelength — arch performances, iris wipes, and all — before building to an operatically blood-drenched finale. It’s “Jane Eyre” with the sex and violence levels cranked into R-rated territory. We begin in turn-of-the-century Buffalo, where Edith Cushing (Mia Wasikowska) is an aspiring writer of macabre ghost stories (she claims Mary Shelley as a personal inspiration). Edith’s creative aspirations are crystallized at a young age, when she’s visited by the ghost of her mother who warns her to “beware of Crimson Peak.” But as an adult, Edith’s literary career is thwarted by the patriarchal society in which she lives, leaving the door open for her to be swept off her feet by
(R), DIRECTED BY GUILLERMO DEL TORO NOW PLAYING [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
With Halloween fast approaching, it’s the time of year when everyone’s in the mood for a good scary movie. But what terrifies us on screen isn’t a one-size-fits all sort of thing, and what’s currently in vogue when it comes to horror — theaters this time of year always see a barrage of slasher thrillers, found-footage, and post-modern horrors — don’t do it for everyone. So it’s nice to see two new October releases getting in touch with their cinematic roots, taking inspiration from more old-fashioned haunted house and monster movie genres.

Film REVIEWS: rochestercitynewspaper.com/MOVIES
a mysterious British aristocrat, Sir Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston), when he arrives in town with his oddly cold sister, Lucille (Jessica Chastain). Against the protestations of her father (Jim Beaver) — and later her childhood friend, Dr. Alan McMichael (Charlie Hunnam) — Edith eventually accepts Thomas’s proposal of marriage, and she’s whisked off to Allerdale Hall, the family estate her new husband shares with Lucille. A triumph of production design, Allerdale Hall is a decaying ruin, rotting from the inside. Built on a foundation of red clay — into which the house is slowly sinking — scarlet drips seep from every wall and soak through the snow outside (hence the moniker, “Crimson Peak”). With every gust of wind, the house seems to breathe. In my favorite design touch, the entrance hall’s roof has rotted through, allowing a stream of leaves to steadily flutter down to the floor (despite the fact that outside views of the manor clearly establish that there isn’t a tree anywhere near the house — but logic like that doesn’t matter when you’re as under the film’s spell as I was). Oh, and there’s also a bevy of ghosts roaming the creaky hallways that Edith insists on tip-toeing down each night, clutching a candelabra to light her way. Skeletal beings, the apparitions waft tendrils of smoke as they claw and lurch their way around; lit with lurid reds and greens, they’re almost a part of the architecture. Fans of del Toro know the director has too much compassion for his monsters for them to be the true

What goes bump in the night “Goosebumps” (PG), DIRECTED BY ROB LETTERMAN NOW PLAYING [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
villains of the piece: the real danger comes from flesh and blood humans. Though the ghosts appear to be a mix of practical effects and CGI, del Toro’s seems to have gone a bit too heavy on the CGI, which has the unfortunate result of cheapening their appearance somewhat, particularly when placed inside those stunning sets. As Wasikowska has demonstrated in films like “Stoker” and “Only Lovers Left Alive,” she’s very much at home with the gothic, and despite the character’s innocent appearance and virtuous nature, she gives Edith a welcome inner strength. Chastain sinks her teeth into her role, delivering a deliciously entertaining performance. Lady Lucille has obviously sinister intentions from the moment she appears, but the depths of her villainy constantly remain a surprise; the actress appears to be having the most fun she’s had on screen. Hiddleston has a trickier part: Thomas could be played as a standard creep, but the actor finds the forgotten humanity that lies underneath. Saddled with the least interesting character to play, Hunnam is fine as the noble “hero” figure, but he doesn’t do much with it, leaving him as the cast’s weakest link. With co-writer Matthew Robbins, del Toro has crafted a tale that has the feel of a classic ghost story. The plot reveals don’t always surprise, but as they unfold the film takes on the tone of a twisted legend you’d hear told by an excitable tour guide embellishing the sordid history behind the oldest graves that reside in the cemetery. Much like the film’s meticulous design, it’s the craftsmanship that’s truly haunting.
Aiming for a tone somewhere in the vicinity of “Monster Squad” and a more sanitized version of the films of Joe Dante, “Goosebumps” is a kiddie fright flick based on the massive series of Scholastic books by author R.L. Stine — a name that’s likely familiar to any child of the 90’s. Rather than a straightforward adaptation that cherrypicks from one or two of the books, director Rob Letterman (“Monsters vs. Aliens”) and writers Scott Alexander, Larry Karaszewski, and Darren Lemke have created an inventive premise which allows them to incorporate them all. While it doesn’t follow Stine’s books to the letter, it captures their tone perfectly, skillfully straddling the line between anarchic, kid-friendly thrills and outright scares. In finding this balance, the film functions as a pretty fantastic entry point for younger viewers into the realm of horror. Still recovering from the death of his father a year prior, Zach (Dylan
Dylan Minnette, Odeya Rush, Ryan Lee, and Jack Black in “Goosebumps.” PHOTO COURTESY SONY PICTURES
Minnette) moves to the small town of Madison, Delaware, with his mother (Amy Ryan, getting much more to do here than she does in another of this week’s releases, “Bridge of Spies”), where she’s gotten a new job as vice principal of the local high school. Zach has barely moved into their new home before he finds himself smitten with Hannah (Odeya Rush), the girl next door, though Hannah’s overly protective father (Jack Black, in an admirably restrained performance) makes it very clear he doesn’t approve of Zach’s attentions toward his daughter. After spending an evening getting to know one another (in a lovely scene set in an overgrown, abandoned amusement park in the woods near the teens’ homes), Zach overhears a heated argument between Hannah and her father, and fearing Hannah may be in danger, decides to investigate, bringing his dorky new friend, Champ (Ryan Lee), along as a lookout. They wind up inside the house, and during their search they stumble across a wall of manuscripts for what turns out to be “Goosebumps” books, each one secured with a lock. Hannah’s father just happens to be R.L. Stine (and props to the real-life Stine for approving his portrayal as a shorttempered misanthrope). It seems that whatever creatures Stine conjures from his imagination become real, forcing him to keep them locked away in the pages of his books. Of course, the kids end up accidentally unlocking one of those books, setting loose an abominable snowman and starting a chain of events that ultimately unleashes a tidal wave of monster mayhem upon their sleepy little town. For a film overflowing with monsters — among them: a giant
praying mantis, zombies, werewolves, man-eating plants, evil clowns, and a major nemesis in the form of a ventriloquist’s puppet (don’t call him a dummy) named Slappy — it’s rather shocking that ”Goosebumps” takes its time building a world before setting its horrors loose upon it. It gives us a cast of appealing characters (including supporting roles for Ken Marino and Jillian Bell as Zach’s well-meaning aunt), and spends a decent amount of time actually developing them. Even more importantly, the movie takes its monsters seriously (for the most part): they’re treated like threats who want nothing more than to tear our heroes limb from limb. This gives the film a sense of danger, though it’s only a sense — fear not, worried parents, for all its monster mayhem, the film still boasts a body count of zero. I will admit that this makes me a little nostalgic for previous generations of kids adventure films that weren’t afraid to traumatize young viewers and were willing to shed a little blood — but maybe that’s just me. There are a number of great little set pieces throughout the film, the best of which is a kitchen battle against a horde of murderous garden gnomes that plays as a clever, tongue-in-cheek nod to a similar sequence in Dante’s “Gremlins.” And in a nice touch, Slappy appears to mostly be portrayed by an actual, physical puppet. Though it did make me wish a few more of the beasties were done as practical effects, if only to further capture the feel of a bygone era of kids entertainment.

149 South Fitzhugh Street You know the house: It’s the one that makes you stop and stare as you stroll down South Fitzhugh during the Corn Hill Festival. Described by The Landmark Society as “the Third Ward’s only formal city house in the Gothic Revival style,” 149 S. Fitzhugh makes a dramatic statement along this narrow, winding street. And does it have stories to tell . . . Abelard Reynolds, of Reynolds Arcade fame, built it c. 1870. The brick exterior with its tall arched windows speaks of affluence and style, a lifestyle it enjoyed for many decades. But as the neighborhood suffered a decline, so too did #149. It was home to as many as eight units for a time, and then abandoned in the 1960s. A heroic restoration began in the 1970s. It was zoned as a three-family property, which remains in effect today, though the current owners use it as a single family home. Dramatic front doors lead to a grand foyer where a curving maple staircase takes center stage, illuminated by a large stained glass window. To the left of the foyer is the first of two parlors brightly lit by floorto-ceiling windows, chandeliers set in elaborate plaster medallions, and fireplace with a handsome surround. A giant pocket door leads to the second parlor. Both parlors boast 10-foot ceilings, crown molding and 15-inch floor molding.

Grandiose Gothic Revival
Across the hall is the formal dining room, connected to a contemporary kitchen with delightful nods to the past, especially the 1970s laminate countertops in vintage
chartreuse. A sunroom awaits beyond, and what happens next is another surprise: an enclosed breezeway—with the home’s brick exterior on one long wall and windows on the other—leads to perhaps the longest attached garage in Corn Hill, or the world, with room for two cars plus storage, opening up to the driveway and service alley. The other end of the garage opens on to South Fitzhugh. Cool, huh? The yard is almost a quarter acre, fully fenced and very private. Remnants of the original carriage house foundation now make up pathways and seating areas. Mature plantings and raised organic garden share the yard with playground equipment and concrete picnic table. Many of the five bedrooms are huge, as are the 3.5 baths. Small kitchens remain in the rental units. Even rooms once designated as maids quarters and 1870s service kitchen enjoy large windows, original hardware, tall ceilings and wonderful old growth pine floors. The story of 149 S. Fitzhugh St. is told in a binder full of historic photos and newspaper clippings for the new owners to enjoy, preserve, and add to. Micheal Faucher of Nothnagle Realtors is the listing agent, 585314-3801. The 4,022 square foot property is listed for $289,900. by Elizabeth Teall Elizabeth is a Landmark Society volunteer.

Please read it carefully. Mortgage foreclosure is a complex process. Some people may approach you about “saving” your home. You should be extremely careful about any such promises. The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. There are government agencies, legal aid entities and other non-profit organizations that you may contact for information about foreclosure while you are working with your lender during this process. To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained by the New York State Banking Department at 1-877-BANKNYS (1877-226-5697) or visit the Department’s website at www.banking.state. ny.us.
