Election recap: the Funke rout
Rich Funke’s victory over Ted O’Brien is more than a win for Republicans and a loss for Democrats. It is a collective decision to reject the “war on women” rhetoric and an acknowledgment of the inherent value of human beings in the womb. In a Time Warner Cable News broadcast on election morning, a representative from Senator O’Brien’s office acknowledged that O’Brien’s focus on the passage of the Women’s Equality Act, with its abortion component, to the

I would like to know if the voting for Best of Rochester is rigged, or if the people of Rochester just have low self esteem. I have lived here for six years, and for six years, Wegmans has won Best Place to Take an Out-of-Towner. It is a grocery store. Rochester is the epicenter of pivotal events that helped shape this country, from the American Revolution to the Underground Railroad to Women’s Suffrage to the Industrial Revolution.

exclusion of other important issues, was a “misstep.” Women want equal pay, solid protections against the perpetrators of domestic violence, and the other promised benefits within WEA. They don’t need or want more abortion access. Gone should be the days when women have to choose between their children and social and economic equality. New Yorkers have spoken, and now it’s up to the legislators to listen. Pass the first nine points of WEA. KELLY BRUNACINI
The Slaughter cliff-hanger
The Monroe County Republican Committee put all of its time, effort, and money into Rich Funke because they knew he could beat O’Brien. No one ever thought that Slaughter could be beaten. Even if Assini loses after the ballot count, we have sent a clear message to Louise: Get off your butt and get this economy going again if you can; make a few changes
International Jazz Festival draws people from all corners of the earth. The Hungerford has some of the most innovative artists and artisans rotating through it. The University of Rochester has the nation’s first educational program focusing exclusively on optics. Both RIT and the U R are doing research and making innovations that cause not just ripples but waves across the world of academia and science. Yet you expect me to believe that the readers of an independent newspaper –the residents who should have their fingers on the pulse of what makes Rochester great – think that the best they have to offer a Baltimore ex-patriot is a grocery store?

The Cuomo win
I am truly disheartened at the news of Cuomo winning another term. So sad for the New York State economy. So sad for all of us who hoped to have the Safe Act repealed. So sad for all of us taxpayers who will continue to be bled dry by the laws instituted by the Democrats and by subsidizing the welfare recipients welcomed with open arms by New York State from their own home states that refuse them aide. I truly wish New York City would just separate from the rest of New York State. They just want to drag the rest of the state down with them.

It has lots of fresh food because it is a grocery store. It is probably the law that they sell fresh food. If it had rotten food, it would go out of business. “I have not seen anything like it! I moved away from Rochester, and I have been all over the country, and I must say, I miss Wegmans.”

It is becoming harder and harder for hard-working people and homeowners to live in New York State, and easier and easier for those who want to live off your hardearned money. We are headed down a slippery slope with Cuomo still in power. IN

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
Did Dems learn a lesson? And is it the right lesson? Hoo, boy. Republicans have a lot to be happy about. So, I guess, does anybody else who’s upset with President Obama, Democrats, and the federal government. Some of us have a lot to be worried about after last week’s election, though. And at the moment, I’m not seeing any silver linings. Just for instance: Come January, Republicans will be in an even better position to block Obama’s appointments and nominations. Approval of the Keystone Pipeline looks almost certain – not to mention other initiatives that the fossilfuel industry wants. We’ll likely get bigger defense budgets – and lots of hearings and investigations. Republicans in Congress are still a fractious group, obviously. And on some issues, they’ll have to compromise with Democrats to get anything done. But Democrats have their own divisions. And with 2016 elections looming, some of them seem so spooked that they may cave on things like protecting the Affordable Care Act. Also unknown: whether Obama will move further to the right. Plenty of people are insisting that he learn from the election and change his ways. Is he spooked, too? As Paul Krugman said in the Times on Friday, though, winning doesn’t mean you’re right. On inequality, labor, infrastructure, public health, and civil rights, liberals are more closely aligned with the interests of low- and middle-income Americans than Republicans are. Nor should it be hard to convince voters that climate change is a matter of crucial national and international security, human rights, fiscal prudence, health, and species survival. And that Republicans’ approach to foreign policy is both dangerous and fiscally irresponsible. (Among the many serious results of last week’s election: John McCain is likely to head the Senate Armed Services Committee.) In “Running from Obama Hurt Dems,” on the online news site The Root, Peniel Joseph lashed out at the Democratic Party’s “Obama Avoidance Syndrome.” “Rather than join forces and extol the president’s leadership on domestic issues, especially with regard to unemployment, health care, and the environment,” Joseph wrote, “Democrats abandoned the president and, in the process, allowed Republicans to successfully shape this year’s message.” “2016 will indeed be a referendum on the Obama administration and the
Democrats abandoned the president,” says one commentator, “and, in the process, allowed Republicans to successfully shape this year’s message.” Democratic Party’s willingness to embrace the president’s legacy,” Joseph said. “If, as they did this year, Democrats cut and run rather than stand and fight, we will surely see a Republican president inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2017.” Democrats “must rediscover their political identity,” Joseph wrote. “Obama’s call for hope and change in 2008 helped to revive the party’s liberal and progressive wing. In passing the Affordable Care Act, Obama succeeded in institutionalizing the signal policy achievement of our era. The inability of the entire party, now, to run on that signal achievement stands out as a failure of imagination, character, and integrity.” This country hasn’t rejected progressive values. Same-sex marriage is legal in 32 states. Last week, voters in Alaska, Arkansas, Nebraska, and South Dakota – all red states – approved boosting the minimum wage. Voters in Florida came close to legalizing medical marijuana, approving it by 57.6 percent. (Legalization required 60 percent approval.) We can wish that Obama had been stronger during the midterm campaign, that he had been the fiery crusader he was as a candidate in 2008. We can wish that Democrats had joined with him and reminded voters what Democrats stand for – and what a Republican victory could bring. But that’s almost irrelevant now. What Obama and the Democrats in Congress do in the next two years is not irrelevant, though. They can do what they’ve done in the past two years. Or they can unite around the progressive issues that got Obama elected in 2008, remind Americans of how closely their own goals align with those of traditional Democrats, and seek common ground with moderate Republicans if they can find any common ground. (And if they can find any moderate Republicans.) rochestercitynewspaper.com

Day care dilemma
A study by the Center for Governmental Research said that Monroe County provides day care subsidies for a higher percentage and higher number of children than any other urban county in New York, outside of New York City. But the number of families needing subsidies is growing, the report says, while the availability of the assistance is dwindling.
Dems push sex-offender legislation
Monroe County Democrats plan to bring up legislation related to sex offenders at Wednesday’s Legislature meeting. The legislation would prevent offenders from living near places such as schools and day cares. Republicans have said that they support the legislation, though during an October committee meeting, a few GOPers wanted to send it to the sheriff’s office and law department for review.
Red-light report out
Collisions at city intersections with red-light cameras have been reduced by 26 percent since the camera program began in 2010, says a report just released by the City of Rochester. Collisions involving disregard for
traffic-control devices have dropped 78 percent, the report says. And redlight camera violations have dropped 30 percent since the time the cameras were installed, it says.

Rochester gets innovative
The City of Rochester has designated a downtown innovation zone for anchor institutions and companies to cluster and connect with small firms, start-ups, and business incubators and accelerators. Part of the initiative includes opening up space in Kodak Tower to start-ups, entrepreneurs, and nonprofits. A press release from the City of Rochester says that the city’s innovation nodes are located at the Sibley building, RIT Center for Urban Entrepreneurship, High Falls, St. Paul Quarter, Cascade District, and the East End.
So long to the loop
The eastern portion of the Inner Loop, from Monroe Avenue to Charlotte Street, will close for good on November 21. The city is filling in that milelong section of the loop, which will open up six acres for development, and, officials hope, encourage people to spend more time in the city.

Contaminated houses coming down Sometime in the next couple of months, a crew contracted by the Town of Irondequoit will knock down two adjoining houses on Timrod Drive. The lots will be cleared and seeded with grass, creating a small green space. The town took ownership of the houses approximately two years ago as part of a legal settlement. The houses border a former City of Rochester landfill, which Irondequoit also used at one time. The homeowners sued the city and town after landfill gases were found to be seeping into their homes. The houses are now vacant and have become eyesores, says

Irondequoit Supervisor Adam Bello. The town was supposed to tear them down soon after purchase, Bello says, but for whatever reason, that didn’t happen. The town will mow and maintain the properties, he says, but doesn’t plan to turn them into a formal park. Officials have notified neighborhood residents of the demolition plans, Bello says, and are confident that the property is safe. The town discovered the contamination in 2009, when it was doing testing related to the proposed Lighthouse Pointe mixeduse project. Developers wanted to clean up the former landfill property

and build on it, and they wanted the State Department of Environmental Conservation to admit the site into New York’s brownfields program. But the DEC rejected the request. Town officials, who also wanted the landfill site included in the brownfields program, saw the testing as a way to support the developers’ case, according to a 2009 fact sheet. In the two homes tested, they detected volatile organic compounds in basement air samples and methane under, but not in, the foundations. Ultimately, a judge ordered the state to admit the site into the brownfields program, but the Lighthouse Pointe project is now dormant.

The top of a party’s ticket can make or break races across the state. Governor Andrew Cuomo has become a polarizing figure in the Democratic Party. He’s not popular with progressives, and he’s angered other potential Democratic voters with his education reform positions and his dithering on fracking.
POLITICS | BY JEREMY MOULE
Untangling the 2014 election results Obamacare wasn’t the deciding issue in the 2014 elections. Neither was the SAFE Act, abortion rights, or Common Core. Instead, the election was influenced by a mishmash of national and state issues, the appeal of individual candidates, and low turnout — all of which resulted in a Republican wave. “No one issue ruled the day,” says Anthony Plonczynski, a Democratic activist and leader of a legislative district committee in the City of Rochester. At the national level, Republicans won enough US Senate races to take control of the chamber in 2015. The party also added to its majority in the House of Representatives, toppled Democratic governors in a few states, and flipped a few state legislative chambers. In New York, Republicans regained an outright majority in the State Senate — an accomplishment made possible in part by Rich Funke’s victory over sitting Democratic State Senator Ted O’Brien. The race was a priority for both parties at the state and local levels, and both candidates fought hard for the seat. But the election’s biggest surprise locally was the exceedingly close Congressional race between House
Representative Louise Slaughter, a Democrat, and her Republican opponent, Gates Supervisor Mark Assini. Slaughter has a history of handily beating or outright trouncing her challengers. Slaughter appears to have won this year’s race, too, but the election results won’t be final for at least a week. The Republican wave of 2014 had everything to do with motivation. GOPaligned voters were unhappy about a slew of state and national issues and enthusiastic about their candidates, so they went to the polls. Democrats didn’t. “The Republicans were angry yesterday and the Democrats who failed to vote are angry today,” said Dave Garretson, Monroe County Democratic Committee chair, last week. On the national level, the Affordable Care Act — Obamacare — was a driving issue. Many people who voted see problems with the act, says Bill Reilich, chair of the county Republican Party. But Garretson says that voters haven’t had enough time to see the benefits of the reforms, and that hurt Democrats. In Upstate New York, there were other issues at play, too. In the Funke-O’Brien contest, Funke’s opposition to the SAFE

Act and Common Core resonated with voters, Reilich says. But on the whole, Upstate voters were wary of handing total control of state government to Democrats, Reilich says, and that was a big factor in Funke’s win and the GOP’s other Senate gains. “I think most people, whether you’re Republican or Democrat, except for the diehards, but the vast majority of Republicans and Democrats really feel comfortable when there’s some sort of a balance,” Reilich says. “One keeps the other in check.” There’s also the matter of individual candidates. Assini campaigned hard, knocked on over 12,000 doors, and

Question Bridge finds common ground Rochester Contemporary Art Center hosted the latest discussion in the ongoing exhibit “Question Bridge: Black Males” last week. Lloyd Holmes, vice president for Student Services at Monroe Community College, hosted Shelitha Williams, professor of African-American studies at MCC, and Marcus Watts and Verdis Robinson of MCC Student Services. Holmes started the discussion with the question, “What do we all have in common?” “It’s our experiences,” Watts said. “It’s the subtle microaggressions. It’s a horrible feeling … everything that the black man does is seen as noncompliant.” Robinson said that many people see African-American men as a threat to the establishment, and that laws are created “so that black men could never be higher than the poorest white man.” The next question, “What does it mean to act black?” “African-American men in pop culture have a little swag, are smooth with the ladies,” Watts said. “We rhyme when we speak. Everything we touch we take to the next level.” The next discussion in “Question Bridge: Black Males” is at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, November 12. The topic is, “The Role of Youth: Sketching a New Blue Print.”

Most basic scientific research, roughly 55 percent, is conducted at a core group of the nation’s leading universities. But years of static funding — due to budget pressures, a shift to investing in private research, and other reasons — in some areas of research and a clear decline in others have many local and national researchers and university leaders worried. The amount that the US invests in R&D has declined from 37 percent to about 30 percent since 2001, they say. And if the trend continues, they say, the local and national ramifications could be grave. “Every major research university is totally dependent on federal funding,” says Rob Clark, the University of Rochester’s senior vice president for research. “That’s the key issue. We’ve had a decline in US commitment to research funding compared to surges everywhere around the world, particularly in Southeast Asia. We’re really fighting at the core for our competitiveness and innovation.” Clark and Stephen Dewhurst, vice dean for research at the UR’s School of Medicine and Dentistry, say that if the trend continues, the country’s position as the global leader in R&D and biotech is threatened. And there is an added threat, Dewhurst says, because the US is not adequately training the next generation of Ph.D.-level scientists. While there is increased interest in US competitiveness in science, technology, engineering, and math — the STEM fields — Dewhurst says he fears that students will be less interested in becoming academic scientists. “How do we keep young people engaged in the field?” he asks. “How do we better train young scientists? It’s obviously a critical mission for us [the UR], but it’s critical for the country, and the Rochester community, specifically.” The UR is roughly a $3 billion annual enterprise that’s received nearly $2 billion in federal funding for research and development over the last five years. The research component not only employs about one-fifth of the UR’s staff, it’s also one of the main thrusts in the region’s economy, supporting all sorts of goods and services. Researchers say that part of the problem is that the university’s scientific communities haven’t done a great job explaining how research is funded in the US. And they say
that the public probably doesn’t realize that research at universities is behind advances in everything from cell phones to medical care to national security. The public hears about universities having significant endowments and they often think that money covers the cost of most research, Clark says. But that’s not remotely possible even for leading research universities such as Johns Hopkins, he says. The UR receives about 76 percent of its research funding from federal sources including the National Institutes of Health, Clark says. But those funds don’t cover the cost of faculty or the infrastructure that is usually needed to conduct high-quality research, he says. Endowments, which already suffer from mounting demands, are used to bridge that gap, he says. “The three core sources of revenue are gifts and revenue that come from donations to the institution; grants; and tuition from undergraduate and graduate programs,” Clark says. “And for every dollar in government funding for research, the real cost to the university is somewhere between $1.30 and $1.50.” And the contraction in funding causes a particular kind of mayhem because of the way it complicates the flow of basic research, Clark says, which essentially is an evolutionary process. Research is generally built layer upon layer around a specific idea, he says. “You stay really nervous,” Clark says. “The people who do this for a living are effectively nervous about funding all the time now because you have a responsibility to your group, some of which will have 10 to 20 people in them. “The bottom line is you’re worrying every day about the next day and how you’re going to sustain your group,” he says. “You constantly have to be thinking forward. In this era it’s kind of feeling like being hand to mouth.” The funding issue also impacts universities’ physical space, Clark says. There was a period of time when the NIH was essentially saying, “Grow your institution to meet the funding,” he says. So universities began expanding. But because the funding has been reduced and the space no longer needed, institutions are faced with maintaining buildings that aren’t being used for research.
Academic institutions provide the ideal training environment for future research scientists, says Steve Dewhurst, vice dean for research at the UR School of Medicine and Dentistry. PHOTO PROVIDED
Reductions to research funding also impact the type of research that gets funded, Dewhurst says. Though many students can find rewarding careers in industry, he says, there are specific advantages to grooming scientists in an academic environment, namely risk-taking. Basic or what some researchers call “blue-sky research” is more often the type that leads to big breakthroughs and transformative innovation, Dewhurst says. Both Clark and Dewhurst are concerned that fewer grants are being awarded for the most creative and ambitious ideas. “Anything that’s sort of out there or too creative or innovative, it’s very difficult to fund those,” Dewhurst says. “And you lose some really creative ideas.” Rochester Institute of Technology, however, is currently bucking the trend, says Ryne Raffaelle, vice president for research and associate provost. RIT’s R&D funding grew by 12 percent in its latest fiscal year, reaching nearly $53 million. But RIT has focused more on what is referred to as applied research, Raffaelle says, which often takes innovations to the next level by working with industry partners on a commercial use. Still, some work is not reaching that basic fruition, says the UR’s Dewhurst. He cites NIH director Dr. Francis Collins who made headlines during the recent alarm over the Ebola virus. Collins was quoted on Huffington Post.com saying that stagnant funding has slowed research and may have delayed the development of an Ebola vaccine. But Clark says that he doesn’t want to paint a completely dire picture of the funding situation, which has been known to be cyclical. There are some upsides to it,
University research depends on federal funding, says Rob Clark, the UR's senior vice president for research. PHOTO PROVIDED
he says, including the fact that the UR has essentially been forced to focus its goals. An example: the $100 million commitment to data science made by the university. “We have a medical center that manages more than 50 percent of the area’s health care,” Clark says. “We can learn a lot about health care in a broader population from that data.” And UR officials say that they have made a concerted effort to make the most efficient use of the money they receive. The UR ranks 49th in the nation in total research expenditures and its medical school ranks 32nd in NIH funding. But Clark says that when the total amount of research activity is compared to the size of its research faculty, the UR comes in at a feisty 17th in a field of approximately 100 research universities. “We punch way above our weight,” Clark says. “The UR is extremely productive.”

A well-made sticky bun is a beautiful thing. It should be tempting but looks like trouble: tall and dark, with promises of something sweet. Shaped slightly like a cone with the point lopped off, it should be covered in deeply-colored caramel and topped with fat pecans that hold on tight. The dough should pull apart in long strands and be yellow from all the butter and eggs contained within. And with each bite, all of this comes through: the browned sweet complexity of the glaze, the maple notes in the nuts, the fatty silk of the butter and eggs, and a whisper of cinnamon warmth.
It’s easy to wax poetic about a good sticky bun, and it’s easy to get your hands on one now that there’s an outpost of the Village Bakery & Café in Rochester. VBC opened its second location at the Culver Road Armory over the summer, next to its sister restaurant TRATA. Both businesses are part of the Two for Seven restaurant group, which includes Black & Blue, jojo Bistro & Wine Bar, and VBC in Pittsford. It would also be easy to only order a breakfast pastry and a cup of coffee. An entire display case is heaped with croissants, scones, muffins, twists, bear claws, and of course, sticky buns. But stop there and you’ll miss out: Though the Culver Road VBC lives up to the bakery in its name, it really shines in its café offerings. Simple, well-prepared meals are what make VBC a reliable standard for breakfast and lunch, and not a sweet flash in the pan. There is a commitment to not serving products that use genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and to make dishes with local produce, free-range eggs, and nitrate-free meats. This includes quiches stuffed with cheese, farm-fresh salads served
with bright vinaigrettes, and sandwiches thickly packed with fillings. The trio savory salads ($9.50) plates scoops of chicken, tuna, and egg salads on a bed of mixed greens, and served with well-buttered toast points. The egg salad has a clean, eggy flavor. The chicken salad actually tastes like chicken, and walnuts provide pockets of crunch. Dill perks up the tuna, which could use more mayo. Underneath is a bright green salad with plump grape tomatoes; crisp, julienned carrots; and a long, curling ribbon of thinly sliced cucumber. It’s served with a vibrant lemon vinaigrette, which tastes good on the vegetables and the tuna salad. Familiar, comforting, and wholesome, eating this feels like Saturday afternoon at Grandma’s house. A mayo blended with lots of dried cherries tops the turkey sandwich ($8.50). It’s similar in taste to turkey and cranberry sauce: the turkey is roasted and sliced thickly, though the cherries are sweeter and more luxurious. There’s bacon, too — as usual, it’s a welcome addition, though the sandwich doesn’t necessarily need it. VBC’s table bread
provides a solid foundation: It’s soft but not wimpy and the crust has a good chew. The sandwich comes with a whole dill pickle that it isn’t just a garnish. Its pucker cuts through the sandwich’s richness and adds an enjoyable crunch. Egg sandwiches are a VBC signature. There are eight suggestions to choose from, plus the option to build your own (prices range from $6-$8.50). If you have the time to sit and eat, try ordering your sandwich “deconstructed” so that the main components are presented on their own. You’ll be able to really taste and savor the ingredients’ quality. It’s almost shocking how good a simple plate of VBC’s scrambled eggs and cheddar taste. It doesn’t hurt that those eggs can be eaten with a strip of maple-glazed bacon and a buttery croissant, either. Many of the meals feature VBC’s house-made bread, baked at the Pittsford location and brought in at 5 a.m. daily. There are a rotating selection of batards, baguettes, and boules for sale in the $4-$6 range. To sample before committing to a loaf, there is the toast tasting ($3.95). Four fat slices of bread — your choice from a given day’s offerings — are served hot from the toaster with a butter and strawberry jam. The walnut raisin is a particular favorite of mine. It has a touch of chew, a gentle sweetness and plenty of crags for butter to melt into. If there’s a weakness, it’s an unevenness
with the desserts. Macarons ($1.95) had an excellent texture though their flavors were muted. The madeleine ($0.75) I sampled was pretty to look at, but tough and flavorless. According to Director of Operations Alexandra Greco, VBC would have been happy to give me a new treat and a gift card for future use had I brought this to the staff’s attention. Individual flourless chocolate cakes ($4.25), however, were good and a nice offering for those who stick to a gluten-free diet. More like truffles than cakes, they are velvety and smooth. Funnily, the cake bites ($1.65) look like oversized truffles but have the texture of a moist cake. They are almost black, and have a rich chocolate flavor. VBC has quickly become my regular breakfast and lunch spot. I don’t think I’m alone, as I’ve seen a steady uptick in customers during my visits. That’s OK — I think there are enough sticky buns to go around.

[ MUSIC PROFILE ] BY ROMAN DIVEZUR
f you have never heard of Seth Hebert-Faergolzia, don’t blame him. The Rochester-based musician claims to have played more than 150 concerts — solo or as part of a band — in town since moving here from Ithaca seven years ago. And his output of more than 20 albums since 1995 is steady, if not outright prolific. The leader of freak-folk act, 23 Psaegz (pronounced Sages), Faergolzia hands over a “Keep Rochester Weird” bumper sticker and a copy of his latest CD, “Doubting Won’t Do,” when he and his bandmate, Laura Lee Jones, meet me in Boulder Coffee. It’s a warm early-autumn day, and Faergolzia is lightly dressed. His blue T-shirt has the word “coach” imprinted across the back and it seems to reinforce his persona. Besides being front man of 23 Psaegz, Seth Faergolzia is an artist and father, and was a member of the New York City anti-folk scene during the late 1990’s and early 2000’s. You could say 23 Psaegz is not a typical band. The group was established in 2010 to perform a rock opera that involves animation and 8-foot-tall puppets. “I’m slowly recording it,” Faergolzia says. “I’m making paintings of what the puppets will be; once I begin the animation, I’ll start building the puppets. I’m hoping we can get some funding somehow.” Up to 22 individuals performed on and offstage at one time during a 23 Psaegz New Year’s Eve show at the Bug Jar. The group recently “slimmed down” to a 10-piece patchwork orchestra consisting of Faergolzia (vocals, acoustic guitar, bass drum); Laura Lee Jones (cello, washboard); Brett Gobe (tuba); Payton Marovich (drums, banjo); Shaun Jones (electric guitar); Colleen Sedita (keyboards, glockenspiel); Reilly Taylor-Cook (bass); Jessica Breen (flute); Joyce Britton (saxophone); and Joseph Schmidlin (tabla). “Being one of the 23 Psaegz has always felt like being a little kid in a huge colorful playground,” Laura Lee Jones says. “It feels really good to be consciously engaging in creativity. The music is the anchor; Seth is the instigating captain; and we’re all rocking this crazy raft.” A 23 Psaegz concert usually begins with only Faergolzia. He records his voice into a loop station several times before each song is performed to bolster his solo performance. The a cappella loop effect is open-ended, multilayered,
and dense: It fills the space like a symphony but sometimes oscillates in unpredictable directions. As the evening goes on, additional band members are called up onstage until everyone joins in. Songs vary in style, but imagine a local freak-folk equivalent of Talking Heads’ “Stop Making Sense” tour. Occasionally, Faergolzia’s performances — no matter the band he’s performing with — become interactive with the audience members themselves. “There was a show in a church; we were rocking the house and then the police came, and said they would confiscate our instruments,” he says, recalling a Berlin gig with his former band, Dufus, where the group and the crowd switched roles. “We taught this audience all the parts to a song. We performed the full song and as the audience was doing the final chorus, we continued to play but backed our way out of the church and let the doors swing shut behind us.” Seth Hebert was born in Utica, and
adopted the name Quankmeyer Faergolzia in 1999. “I had been in meditation with a work of art as my focus,” he says. “In the midst of this meditation the words ‘Quankmeyer Faergolzia’ came to me. I realized that was the name of my soul. I decided to adopt it as my public name as well.” After about a year, Seth gave up the first part of the name but kept Faergolzia as his last name. His parents, Ronald and Irene, encouraged Seth and his brother to develop their musical abilities. Seth’s first paid gig was at age 6 when he sang in a choir at Grace Episcopal Church. “My mother told me that I was matching pitches at age 1 — I’m not sure if that’s true or not,” he says. Ronald Hebert taught at a music camp near the shores of Canandaigua Lake where his son climbed the ladder from camper to instructor. Seth’s 2007 album, “Bristol Hills Camp Experimental Orchestra” — released on Seattle-based Whprwhil Records — was based on his experiences there. One of the album’s tunes, “CuhNuh-Ew,” is pleasant but sounds like band camp on Mars. It uses a composition technique called “addons,” which strings together unrelated melodies like a necklace made out of different shaped beads. Faergolzia went on to study music composition at SUNY Purchase, and
formed the band Dufus in 1997. The band picked up momentum a year later when he relocated to Brooklyn. The “Weirdo Beardcore” collective — as described in the Village Voice — was known for its revolving door membership and included performers like Jeffrey Lewis, Kimya Dawson and Jack Dishel (of The Moldy Peaches), Imani Coppola, and Regina Spektor among its ranks. “It was a random coming together of cool musicians with disparate styles,” Faergolzia says. Dufus became part of the anti-folk scene that initially centered around a club called Sidewalk Café in the East Village. The band’s music was placed in a couple of anti-folk compilations, and as a result of The Moldy Peaches touring in Europe with The Strokes, a door was opened for Faergolzia and Dufus to tour overseas. The first foreign tour Faergolzia did was with singer and guitarist Jeffrey Lewis and drummer Anders Griffen — the trio opened for Cornershop in the U.K. “We had a tendency not to do the same thing,” Lewis says in a phone interview with City. “Each night we tried to figure out what to do, what songs we should try. Within that experimentation there were a couple of nights that were great — Leeds was a killer set and Sheffield also. The audience practically rioted when our set was over.”
Dufus would also tour the U.K. a few months later, and the band hooked up with actor and musician Herbert Russell. Dufus and Russell were invited by French duo, Herman Düne, to perform with them on John Peel’s iconic BBC radio program. “Between songs, Peel was doing an interview with Herman Düne and my friend Herbert was cracking jokes,” Faergolzia says. “Peel got silently pissed off at us. I tried to contact him months later and his secretary wrote me back saying that ‘Mr. Peel would like to have nothing to do with you. Your session with Herman Düne was unacceptable.’” Other international tours followed; Dufus performed in places including Bulgaria, Liechtenstein, and Macedonia. Faergolzia went to Japan by himself in
the summer of 2001 — he met musicians there that learned his material and accompanied him on a month-long tour — and returned to New York City right before September 11. He was living in a squat on Avenue C in lower Manhattan when the planes hit. “I went upstairs and saw one of the buildings was burning. I was pretty surprised,” he says. “I went downstairs and when I came back up the second one continues on page 32

Rochester Early Music Festival FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14 ST. ANNE CHURCH, 1600 MT. HOPE AVENUE 7:30 P.M. | $13-$15 | MUSICASPEI.ORG [ CLASSICAL ] Musica Spei’s annual Early Music
Festival is always a copious sampler of the many treats on the “Bach and before” musical menu, from the intricate to the affecting and the exhilarating. This weekend’s festival, the 14th, is no exception: you’ll hear vocal ensemble music by Musica Spei; the Genesee Valley Children’s Chorus led by Amy Cochrane; a new group, Bedlam, performing 16th-century Scottish songs; instrumental ensemble music by Publick Musick; and much more. — BY DAVID RAYMOND
On “Nostalgia,” her seventh solo endeavor, Annie Lennox opens lush and epic above the faint scent of a ghostly vaudeville strain. “Nostalgia” is a beautiful — and at times gutsy —selection of tunes near and dear to the singer’s heart. This is readily apparent in that Lennox doesn’t attempt to re-work or better the material. Sure, it may be a tad indulgent, but as long as it sounds this undeniably good, so what? Lennox has earned the right to do whatever the hell she wants. What made Lennox a star in the 1980’s — her smoky voice, not to mention her arresting vintage androgyny — is more at home with the material found herein. The arrangements on “Nostalgia” for the most part, follow the score like a map and wax minimal. When aptly applied, the orchestration sneaks up on the listener as gentle as a breath. Sweet dreams are made of this. Some songs don’t work as well as others, like “I Put A Spell On You,” which unless you’re Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, you’d best leave it alone (John Fogerty, I’m talking to you, pal). But Lennox earns a pass with her beautiful take on numbers like “I Cover the Waterfront,” and for showing the balls to cover the haunting, racially-charged “Strange Fruit.” You walk away from this album knowing and loving the tunes even more and by proxy, Lennox as well. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

It’s in some of the smaller moments that drummer Mike Calabrese knows his band, Lake Street Dive, is starting to leave a bigger impression. While 2013 and 2014 have been stand-out years for the band — with a major appearance during the “Inside Llewyn Davis” all-star concert in 2013; the release of the band’s critically well-received album, “Bad Self Portraits,” in February 2014; a TV debut on The Colbert Report shortly after; and consistently sold out shows — rather than point to one defining moment, Calabrese says he sees the band’s success when rolling into a new town. “We’ve played in Florida twice before, once at a jazz festival, and once at a small club that nobody came to, and that was earlier this year,” Calabrese says. “We came back and played three shows in three different towns and sold out two of them; out of nowhere.” Calabrese says he’s excited when the band stops in a town they’ve never been to before and there’s a line of people waiting, or a venue’s front row is filled with people singing along to every song. “It’s during those moments that you know you’re making sort of an impact. Your reputation precedes you,” he says. Lake Street Dive will roll into Rochester on Sunday, November 16, for a show at Water Street Music Hall, 204 North Water Street.

Price, guitarist and trumpeter Mike “McDuck” Olson, bassist Bridget Kearney, and Calabrese — formed in 2004 while the members were students at Boston’s New England Conservatory. Olson drew in the other members to form a “free country” band, but Lake Street Dive quickly found its footing in nostalgic, harmony-driven soul, with a

dash of swinging jazz. The group hit the stage hard and released a handful of fulllengths and EPs, but it would take a few years to gain national attention. Calabrese says that there were times over the years that everyone in the band questioned if it was worth it. “It’s only the things that mean something to you that you think, ‘Well, is it?’” he says. “Because there’s so much invested emotionally and creatively. You have a lot to gain, which can be scary, and a lot to lose, which is equally scary.” But Lake Street Dive had a lot of chemistry and “mojo in the group,” he says; it wasn’t like being in other bands where he felt like a sideman and had to make a decision to continue — this was a something he had to see through. “Lake Street Dive was never that simple. It was more, ‘Will Lake Street Dive choose me?’ ‘Will it choose us?’ And we were just being curious about what it would become,” Calabrese says. “That’s the feeling from the beginning, and that’s the reason it’s easy for us to maintain composure during success.” In 2012, while promoting its EP, “Fun
Machine,” the band recorded a video of themselves performing the Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back” while on a street corner. The video blew up and helped open the door to a much larger audience. Lake Street Dive has since been able to swap the tour van for a bus, and benefit from the momentum. “We have a staff now,” Calabrese says, as if it’s still a surprising new
concept. “We have someone selling merch for us now. We have a business manager. All of this stuff has helped us with our growth. That in turn helps us put ona better show, and gives us more time to write the tunes we want and opens us up to just keep that creative momentum going.” But Calabrese will admit that success can be a bit of a double-edged sword. “For the first time ever, each of us are pretty stressed out about this band,” he says. “There are a bunch of people on our payroll right now. There are lively hoods at stake.” The band recently watched a video of a performance from two years ago, and though they are now better musicians, there was a carefree attitude to the past performance that present concerns get in the way of, Calabrese says. Lake Street Dive is working on new material to be recorded in 2015, Calabrese says, and the band is going in with a conscious decision to let the stresses pass through them. “Part of what we’re focusing on now as a band — we’ll always be hard workers, trying to perfect the show that we play and write better songs — but at the core of it is what got us here in the first place, and that’s what we can focus on,” Calabrese says.

His last time through town found Eddie Spaghetti unplugged and strapped to a dreadnaught, wailing like a wounded country troubadour. Spaghetti is back baby, with his band The Supersuckers. This Seattle-based outfit truly embodies the outlaw spirit of a righteous bar band while reverently serving it up as arena rock.

FOLK | BILL STAINES
Some say Bill Staines carries on the tradition of Woody Guthrie. And surely with his Americana characters, his well-worn harmonica, and 40-plus years on the road, Staines shares a few similarities with the legendary fellow sextenarian, Neil Young. Having crisscrossed the country repeatedly with more than 200 shows a year, you get the feeling Staines’ weathered flannels and white beard have swayed everywhere, from small town living rooms and churches to folks festivals. Other 1960’s babies will know his subjects, while the kids easily bob to familiar melodies. One of his most widely known tunes, “River,” may be recognized from a grade-school songbook. Staines has 26 albums under his worn leather belt and countless awards. Would you have guessed he was also the National Yodeling Champion back in ‘75? Bill Staines plays Saturday, November 15, at Rochester Christian Reformed Church, 2750 Atlantic Avenue, Penfield. 7:30 p.m. $10-$18. goldenlink.org; acousticmusic.com/staines. — BY TYLER PEARCE 224-0990. johnnyslivemusic. com. 5 & 9 p.m. Uptown Groove.

POP PUNK | THE ATARIS
The early 2000’s pop-punk movement has gone by the wayside but the music still holds up. The Ataris were in the forefront of that movement with the album “So Long Astoria,” and started touring last year to recognize the 10th anniversary of its certified gold claim-to-fame. Lyrics from one of the band’s hits, “In This Diary,” — “Being grown up isn’t half as fun as growing up” — will still resonate with many, but The Ataris will give us a prolonged worry-free moment and a feeling like we’re stepping back in time. The Ataris play with Envious Disguise, Routine Involvements, and On the Cinder on Saturday, November 15, at the Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Avenue. 9 p.m. $14-$16.

Pegasus plays Pepys and his peeps Pegasus Early Music MORE ON THE GROUP CAN BE FOUND AT PEGASUSEARLYMUSIC.ORG [ REVIEW ] BY DAVID RAYMOND
Literature and music commingled pleasingly in the most recent Pegasus Early Music concert, given last Sunday afternoon at Downtown United Presbyterian Church. The program, “Pepys’ Pajamas,” was inspired by the Restoration-era diarist Samuel Pepys (1633-1703). An ambitious politician and general man-about-London, Pepys kept a diary for less than a decade (1660 to 1669). But it was a lively decade, including the restoration of Charles II, the Great Fire of London, and an attack of plague, all of which he described vividly. Pepys also oversaw a lively household, was visited by attacks of ill health, and spent a great deal of his free time at the theater and listening to and playing music — or as he spelled it, “musique.” Hence this concert, which presented a Pepys playlist: an extremely satisfying array of music and composers referred to by Pepys, performed by him, and in one case written by him. Pegasus’ whimsical title played off Pepys’ frequent sign-off to his diary entries: “and so to bed.” (And the whimsical title of this review plays off the pronunciation of his last name: “Peeps.”) I could listen to this stuff all night, particularly in performances as pointedly graceful as this. The music is gracefully melodic and often infectiously rhythmic, seldom straying too far from its roots in folksong and dance. The use of period instruments gives the music a delicate, elusive, slightly melancholy quality. Added all up, it does sound “English,” even when it was influenced by French and Italian music. The concert also offered a musicological
discovery, in the form of two sonatas by Henry Butler, a virtually unknown 18 CITY NOVEMBER 12-18, 2014

composer; we don’t even know when he was born, though he died in 1652 and his career included service to the Spanish court — where he was called Don Enrico Butler. This composer’s music has been unearthed from English manuscripts by a local musicologist, Elizabeth Phillips. The two sonatas heard here were pleasant discoveries, particularly the melodic F major sonata, which featured some elegant give-andtake between violinist Boel Gidholm and viola da gambist Lisa Terry. The musicians for “Pepys’ Pajamas” were uniformly excellent. Laura Heimes is an ideal singer for this repertoire, with a clear voice and diction; whether bawdy or whimsical, each song received the right approach. Christa Patton showed her talents not only as a harpist (particularly in a “Paven” by William Lawes), but also as a bagpiper, playing an instrument with a softer, sweeter tone than any bagpipe I’ve heard before (thank goodness). Patton and lutenist Deborah Fox, often playing in tandem, gave plenty of sparkle and imagination to the realization of the harmonies (the composers often gave melody and bass lines, with only indications of
the harmony in between). Fox, who is Pegasus’ artistic director, also wrote the informative program notes, including copious quotations from the very quotable Pepys. The viola da gamba, a predecessor of the cello, was Pepys’ own instrument (he often practiced it before bedtime). Had Lisa Terry been around in 1660’s London, Pepys would have run to take lessons from her. This instrument sounds excruciating if it is not played well, but Terry plays it very well, with virtuosic bowing and fingering and a lovely mellow tone. Pepys would probably have also enjoyed a few violin lessons from Boel Gidholm, who balanced her own virtuosity with a modest charm. All the women performing in this utterly pleasurable concert brought a delicious sense of style to the music, along with musicological know-how.

The Institute For Creative Music gives workshops on improvisational jazz around the country. And sometimes the members like to practice what they preach. At Lovin’ Cup, New York City pianist Gordon Webster will join the core group: Mike Kaupa (trumpet, flugelhorn), Mike Frederick (guitar), Danny Ziemann (bass), and Chris Teal (drums). Always looking forward, Kaupa occasionally mikes his trumpet and puts it through a vocal processor pre-programed to add harmonies and effects. In terms of repertoire, don’t be surprised if you hear tunes by Radiohead and Bjork.

One of 13 photographic diptychs from Dawoud Bey’s “The Birmingham Project,” currently on view at George Eastman House. PHOTO PROVIDED
Portraits of stolen time “The Birmingham Project” by Dawoud Bey THROUGH JANUARY 25 GEORGE EASTMAN HOUSE, 900 EAST AVENUE TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY: 10 A.M. TO 5 P.M.; SUNDAY: 11 A.M. TO 5 P.M. $5-$14 | 271-3361, EASTMANHOUSE.ORG [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
Currently on view at George Eastman House are 13 photographic diptychs that Chicago-based photographer Dawoud Bey created to commemorate 6 children killed in Birmingham, Alabama, on September 15, 1963. Each of Bey’s diptych portraits juxtapose boys and girls the same ages of the victims (11, 13, 14, and 16), with adults who are the ages that the murdered children would be today, had they lived. In this work, Bey metaphorically presses un-pause on young lives distilled in memory. The Birmingham Project’s origins stretch all the way back to a catalytic moment in 1964, when 11-year-old Bey saw, in his parents’ copy of the book, “The Movement,” the haunting hospital bed photo of Sarah Collins, who was injured in the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church, and forced to miss her sister Addie Mae’s funeral. The blast also took the lives of three other girls — Denise McNair, Carole Robertson, and Cynthia Wesley — and injured 17 other people. Two boys, Johnny Robinson and Virgil Ware, were also shot and killed in the aftermath of the Sunday bombing. “The secure space of the world that my folks had tried to create for me was completely dis20 CITY NOVEMBER 12-18, 2014
placed by this photograph,” Bey says. Bey says the image seared itself into his subconscious, and about 9 or 10 years ago, it suddenly came back to him. He felt he needed to engage this history more directly, and says he decided to form a project around the moment to which that photograph is connected. The artist decided to visit Birmingham in order to gain a sense of the place and how the past was inhabiting the contemporary moment,. He explored how he might visualize the past in the present moment in some resonant way, through the visual poetics of photography. Since 1993, all of Bey’s photographic
projects have come out of collaborations with institutions, and this one was no different. Bey contacted the Birmingham Museum of Art and began discussing a partnership. For seven years, he visited Birmingham, establishing relationships that would allow him to gain a deeper sense of exactly what the history of the place was. “Rather than going there to make work about something that I thought I knew, I was trying to find out something more and make some work about that,” he says. “I always assume there’s something I don’t know.” Bey spent time in the archives of the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, and found out about the two boys who were killed that day during the violent fallout of the bombing, and who have largely been left out of the historic narrative of the event. “Whatever I was going to do, it felt really imperative that I embraced those two boys within the shape of the project,” Bey says. Bey decided to make photographs of
contemporary young African-Americans in Birmingham, “as a way of giving tangible
physical presence to these young people who have, at best, a mythic presence” in our imaginations, he says. He met the challenge of how to visualize the passage of stolen time by pairing each image of a child with one of a contemporary adult in Birmingham. “Fifty years ago, the older people were the ages the killed children were, and they remember that day. That history is inside of them,” he says. Each of the faces in these images show a calm, self-possessed nature, which is especially fascinating to see in children of this age. “What I’m interested in mostly is not the pleasant, public face, but the quiet, introspective, interior person that we all are,” Bey says. With minimal direction and by creating a calm space, Bey allows any distracting environment to dissolve so that he can identify and capture this unguarded, interior quality when he identifies it. “I’m trying to create a kind of nuanced performance of oneself,” he says. Each of the subjects were photographed individually, and the careful pairings were made after, with attention to mannerisms, expressions, and clothing. This is the first black-and-white work Bey has created since the 1980’s. “Because this project references history, I wanted to use a material that was appropriate, even though the scale of them makes them conspicuously contemporary,” he says. The confronting work thus exists at a crossroads of the past and the present. Bey’s subjects were photographed in two places that were significant to Birmingham’s social history: in the pews of the Bethel Baptist Church, which historically had an activist congregation that met with others at the larger, centrally-located 16th Street Baptist Church; and in the Birmingham Museum of Art, which historically was a segregated institution. At the opening of the exhibition, Bey’s subjects were not only visiting an institution they were formerly not allowed to enter, they were doing so because they were featured on the walls. So the project also became about bringing a community into a once-forbidden space, to see themselves represented in that space. Bey also created a split-screen, singlechannel video, “9.15.63,” which juxtaposes a child’s eye view of treetops and roofs and sky through the window of a moving car as it approaches the church, with slow-pan footage of significant places which would be empty on a Sunday morning: the safe black social spaces of a barbershop and a beauty parlor, the contested space of a luncheonette counter, and a classroom, which would have been segregated back then. “I wanted to find another way to talk about that Sunday morning, of visualizing the moments before the moment that we know,” Bey says.

ART | “THE BOX”
In his collection of writings, “The Things They Carried,” Vietnam veteran and author Tim O’Brien dismisses the notion that going to war is heroic. “If at the end of a war story you feel uplifted, or if you feel that some small bit of rectitude has been salvaged from the larger waste,” he writes, “then you have been made the victim of a very old and terrible lie. There is no rectitude whatsoever. There is no virtue. As a first rule of thumb, therefore, you can tell a true war story by its absolute and uncompromising allegiance to obscenity and evil.” Outside the Box Gallery (1000 Turk Hill Road, Building #9, Fairport) is currently hosting “The Box,” an exhibit of artwork focusing on the horrors of war and promoting messages of peace. The show title comes from an anti-war poem of the same name spoken on the 1971 John Denver album, “Poems, Prayers & Promises.” An opening reception will be held Thursday, November 13, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The exhibit continues through November 28. Since Uncle Sam plays his hired mercenaries with a bait and switch routine regarding promised benefits, the average citizen has to clean up the warmongers’ messes. A portion of the proceeds from art sales during November will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Project.

LECTURE | UNLOCKING THE CHASTITY BELT
America still has a pretty puritanical approach to dealing with doin’ it. We’re inundated with deeply-ingrained homophobia, with transphobia, with body shaming, with “slut” shaming, with rape culture, and with ever-morespecific definitions of identity and categories of sexual behavior. Stop trying to put my box in a box, damn it. The fact that some people think what makes them uncomfortable gives them the right to sic Big Brother on someone else boggles the mind. On Friday, November 14, Artisan Direct Art Space (565 Blossom Road) will host “Unlocking the Chastity Belt: An Exploration of Shame and Sexuality.” The lecture will be presented by members of Turn On CNY, a community of people who gather to have honest conversations about relationships, intimacy, and sex. The organizers will explore some of the ways that sexual shame manifests in our culture and the effect it has on our ability to explore and enjoy our own sexuality and connections with others. The event is scheduled for 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. and is free and open to the public. For more information, call 586-3535 or visit meetup.com/Turn-On-CNY/ events/215539262. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

THEATRE | “CIRQUE PEKING”
On Sunday, November 16, the Nazareth College Arts Center will present the National Acrobats of the People’s Republic of China performance of “Cirque Peking.” Hailing from Beijing, the company performs worldwide and is one of the most acclaimed acrobatic troupes in China. Founded in 1951, the troupe has spent decades developing a unique act that combines ballet, tumbling, contortion, plate-spinning, juggling, and other world famous stunts like the “Global Motorcycle” and “Aerial Bungee Tumblings.” The national Acrobats’ new act, “Cirque Peking,” is a new production combining traditional and modern music, vibrant costumes, colorful sets, and new stunts, such as the “Chinese Poles in Shaolin Style” and “Diving through Moving Hoops.” The National Acrobats will perform in Callahan Theater at Nazareth College Arts Center, 4245 East Avenue. 7 p.m. $55-$70. A free pre-performance lecture on the history and importance of acrobatics in China will be held at 6 p.m. in the Peace Theater (room A14), located in the lower level of the Arts Center. 389-2170; artscenter.naz.edu. — BY KURT NYE TEDxRochester.

THEATER | “’TIL DEATH DO US PART”
Colleen Moore has picked back up the habit for another appearance as Sister for “’Til Death Do Us Part,” a humorous lesson on the Catholic Church’s Sacraments of Marriage and the Last Rites, now on stage at Geva’s Fielding Nextstage. This will be Moore’s fourth appearance at Geva as Sister in the “Late Nite Catechism” series — she debuted in 2011 in “Late Nite Catechism”; picked the wit and wackiness back up for “Sister’s Christmas Catechism” in 2012; and returned for “Sister Strikes Again: Late Nite Catechism 2” in 2013. City’s David Raymond said that “Moore makes a delightful old-school nun as she cheerfully instructs ‘publics’ (the public-school educated, as opposed to the ‘parochials’) in the intricacies of the Faith.” And like with past showings, “’Til Death Do Us Part” will include some classroom participation — this time, Sister hosts her own version of “The Newlywed Game.” “’Til Death Do Us Part” will continue through Sunday, November 30, at Geva Theatre Center’s Nextstage, 75 Woodbury Boulevard. Performances are at 7 p.m. Tuesday through Friday; 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturdays; and 3 p.m. on Sundays. There are no performances on Thursday, November 13, and November 27.

spent a lot of time talking to voters, Reilich says, while Funke’s name recognition went a long way toward his victory. And Republican voters in Monroe County were enthusiastic enough about the party’s gubernatorial candidate, Rob Astorino, that Astorino won Monroe County. Those results likely benefitted Funke and Assini while hurting O’Brien and Slaughter. The top of a party’s ticket can make or break races across the state; a popular candidate can pull in votes for candidates farther down the ballot. But Governor Andrew Cuomo has become a polarizing figure in the Democratic Party. He’s not popular with progressives, and he’s angered other potential Democratic voters with his education reform positions and his dithering on fracking. It’s unlikely those groups threw their votes to Astorino, though Green Party candidate Howie Hawkins probably peeled off a few. It’s entirely likely that a lot of potential Democratic voters, out of ambivalence or frustration, just didn’t go to the polls. This year’s results don’t bode well for Democrats heading into 2015’s local elections, when the county executive seat and all County Legislature seats are up for grabs. County Republicans and Democrats have started talking about who they’ll run for the exec position, and with good reason: incumbent Maggie Brooks can’t run because of term limits. The open seat gives Dems a better chance. Assini is now well-positioned for a bid, but could hold out for another run at Congress. Democrats know they can’t win the exec and Legislature seats if their voters stay home. They need an exec candidate who is thoughtful, charismatic, and someone Democratic voters can enthusiastically support, Plonczynski says. The fractured party needs to unify, he says, and craft a strong message behind its candidate. Dems are developing that message, Garretson says. The county is in a precarious financial position, he says, which is hurting its ability to provide important services. He says he hopes that’s something voters consider come Election Day 2015. “I expect Democrats to be plenty angry,” Garretson says.

Physics and metaphysics “Interstellar”
Emerson’s dictum that “the axioms of physics translate the laws of ethics.” (PG-13), DIRECTED BY CHRISTOPHER NOLAN The movie begins with television interviews NOW PLAYING featuring ordinary citizens bemoaning the disaster of a modern dust bowl, when an overpopulated [ REVIEW ] BY GEORGE GRELLA world faces starvation, and some plant disease, only identified as the Blight, steadily and relentlessly destroys all of Earth’s crops. Because all governments Any intrepid voyager through the vast space have run out of money, no solution exists, and of science fiction should recognize the origins most people believe their children represent the last and context of Christopher Nolan’s new movie, generation to survive on the planet. “Interstellar.” The picture owes a great deal to Matthew McConaughey plays Cooper, a all those contemporary doomsday flicks, along widowed former NASA pilot who lives on one with some special debts to the “Star Trek” series of the country’s dying farms, realizing all too well and the landmark Stanley Kubrick film, “2001: the bleak future of his children. He discovers that A Space Odyssey.” Its several discussions of a remnant of NASA’s cadre of scientists runs an the science of space travel and the prospects for underground laboratory, working on a solution, mankind, however, bear some resemblance to a probe through a mysterious wormhole apparently created by some other beings; their chief, Professor Brand (Michael Caine) persuades Cooper to pilot a craft through the wormhole to find the outposts established by three previous missions. Despite the Matthew McConaughey flies beyond the stars in “Interstellar.” anguished protests PHOTO COURTESY PARAMOUNT PICTURES
of his daughter, Murph (MacKenzie Foy), Cooper naturally accepts the mission; with three scientists, including Brand’s daughter (Anne Hathaway), he flies a spaceship to and through the wormhole. When they land on the first planet outside the solar system, they encounter a world covered by oceans and the ruins of the earlier probe; on the second, an icy wasteland, they find a survivor, Dr. Mann (Matt Damon), and a greater danger than they had anticipated. More important, they experience the reality of Einstein’s theory of relativity, in which the traditional perceptions of time and space no longer operate — a couple of hours on the planet for Cooper and Brand amount to 23 years for their partner back on the ship. That fact initiates the attempts to define both a black hole and a wormhole, and problems in reconciling relativity with quantum mechanics. The Einsteinian concept of the flexibility of time explains the strange and complicated solution for the astronauts’ dilemmas, familiar of course to “Star Trek” fans who recall Captain Kirk ordering “Warp Factor Five” to sail the Enterprise from one galaxy to another. In its suggestion of unknown beings who provide a new opportunity for mankind’s development, “Interstellar” resembles “2001,” but avoids that movie’s visual fondling of machinery, as well as its chilly, pretentious mysticism. The crew also employs a robot/computer named TARS, a far cry from the unctuous HAL; TARS

speaks with a certain drollery and resembles a Cubist sculpture in motion. In its presentation of the relationship between Cooper and his daughter, it generates some intense emotion within the discussions of the four-dimensional space-time continuum we all inhabit (you knew that, didn’t you?) and the possibility of a fifth dimension that establishes the wonders of time and the mysteries of those vast spaces between the stars. Those mysteries come alive in the final meeting between Cooper and Murph, impersonated by three different actors in different phases of her life — in addition to MacKenzie Foy as young Murph, Jessica Chastain performs in the most important stage, and Ellen Burstyn plays the aged Murph in a scene that once again underlines the paradoxes of time. Despite the heroics of the crew and the miracle of traversing space and transcending chronology, Murph probably represents the most important character in the picture. Unfortunately, the movie also employs an insistent musical score that often virtually smothers the dialogue. With the exception of the always competent Michael Caine, the actors often also mumble or whisper their lines, which simply dissipates the serious and potentially fascinating intellectual content of a most challenging film. Perhaps the most important and intriguing element of “Interstellar” lies in its reliance on narrative, character, and meaning instead of special effects and cinematic pyrotechnics — rarely for a contemporary science fiction film, its content triumphs over its fireworks.
Typically in films of the “inspirational teacher” genre, the celebrated, unconventional instructors that inspire their pupils to reach greatness do so by kindly reaching out to their young students, instilling in them a lifelong love of learning through their sheer passion for teaching. In “Whiplash,” Terence Fletcher, the tyrannical music teacher played with gleeful relish by J.K. Simmons, motivates young jazz drummer Andrew Neyman (Miles Teller, “The Spectacular Now”) by hurling a chair at his head, repeatedly slapping him across the face, and berating him to tears while screaming about what a worthless piece of s**t he is. “Dead Poets Society” this ain’t. In telling the story of this obsessive mentor-protégé relationship at the most prestigious music conservatory in the

country, writer-director Damien Chazelle (expanding on his short film) asks us to consider whether the abuse that we witness is necessary in order to attain greatness. Andrew aims to be a legendary musician — the next Buddy Rich — and as the torment he faces at the hands of his teacher pushes him beyond anything he thought possible, it’s clear that he improves as a drummer. The mental and physical torture, along with the deterioration of all personal relationships is collateral damage, the price Andrew pays in his pursuit of perfection. He sacrifices in both his relationship with his supportive father (Paul Reiser) and his burgeoning romance with Nicole (Melissa Benoist, quite good in this small but crucial role). For all he goes through, there’s always the very likely possibility that perfection will remain out of reach, and the path toward it will destroy him before he ever reaches the end. Whether that’s psychotic or brutally honest is left for us to decide. In his motivational tactics, Fletcher demonstrates behavior one would hope is at least slightly exaggerated, though I’d be curious to ask an Eastman student how closely certain scenes resemble what happens behind closed doors at a highly competitive music school. There is one incident at a point in the film’s second half that stretches the bounds of believability, but for the most part the film feels real, and that’s what’s most important. If nothing else, the film is unsentimental about the more punishing aspects of being a professional musician. It requires blood, sweat, tears, and (in this case) even more blood. Chazelle has a background in music and his love of the art form shows. He shoots jazz sequences like electrifying action scenes — intense and thrilling, always echoing the rhythm of the film’s jazz soundtrack. But his real secret weapon is in Tom Cross’ editing. Cross’ precise, stunning work gives the film its constant, propulsive energy and perfectly complements the sound editing that gives it an endlessly percussive beat.
J.K. Simmons is terrific in a showy role, portraying Fletcher with a terrifying fury that never becomes cartoony. He’s just as frightening during his calm moments as he is at his most ferocious. Miles Teller (performing much of his own drumming) is remarkable. Downplaying his natural charisma, he’s unafraid to make Andrew unlikeable and even worse, as his driven nature teeters over into obsession. It’s truly a high compliment to say that he holds his own against a force of nature like Simmons. “Whiplash” has been jokingly referred to as “Full Metal Jazz Band” and that’s not very far off. In examining the cost of perfection in a way that’s equally affirming and cautionary, the film is disturbing. Is Terrence Fletcher a great teacher? A Sociopath? Both? The film’s refusal to provide us with answers to those questions gives it a dangerous, unpredictable beat all its own. Screening as a part of the Witness
Palestine film series, “On the Side of the Road” is a documentary by Israeli journalist Lia Tarachansky probing into the collective Israeli denial about the expulsion and displacement of Palestinians in the wake of the 1948 war for independence. Referred to by the Palestinian people as the Nakba, or “the catastrophe,” the destruction of villages resulted in generations of refugees and, as parks and new cities were built on the ruins of those villages, years of violent history were swept under the rug. Tarachansky interviews several former soldiers who participated in the destruction, though understandably, most are reluctant to talk about what they view as horrific mistake from their pasts. One expresses regret over the acts he committed and, when asked to explain why he carried out his orders, articulates an uncomfortable truth of war, saying that “a soldier sees only as far as he’s told to shoot.” Impressively, the film refrains from dehumanizing either side, instead making the simple request that the region’s history never be forgotten.

was burning. At night the winds would shift and smoke would come straight into our neighborhood. You couldn’t see across the street, that’s how thick it was. “It was scary and crazy. Everybody was acting so weird. I had a backpack packed with all my stuff and a sleeping bag. I was ready to run to the hills.” Faergolzia noticed that the tragedy had triggered a sense of paranoia among some of the residents of the abandoned property. “They barred the door, there was no in or out. They had, all around the top rim of the building, buckets full of piss — ready if police came to oust us,” he says. The strains of living in a squat were apparent. But there were good times, too. “I was at that time extremely prolific, not only with music but with painting and junk sculpture,” he says. It was during Faergolzia’s residency in New York City that his fiber art project, “Celibacy Pants,” was displayed between two works by Jean-Michel Basquiat at a Soho gallery. It received a positive mention in The New York Times. The singer-songwriter relocated to Ithaca in 2004 and eventually to Rochester in 2007. It was here that Faergolzia closed the chapter on Dufus, after the group’s final
album, “Eth,” was released in 2010. If nothing else, Dufus’ albums blazed a colorful trail of positive reviews in publications like the The Onion, Vice, and NME (U.K.). SPEX (Germany) called the group “kind and scary.” “I’ve always dreamed of having a huge band,” Faergolzia says, recalling the final Dufus show in New York City, which featured performances by Spektor and Dishel, among others. “The band was 30 people or more.” That evening, Faergolzia played a solo acoustic song when the building’s fire alarm went off during his performance. The musicians and audience filed outside and the fire department came. Dufus finished its song “Fire” on the street as the FDNY was leaving — but the audience applauded the firemen, instead of the band. Mean spirits, bad luck, or the lack of a radio-hit probably conspired against Dufus and kept it away from a wider audience. Faergolzia says his current band, 23 Psaegz, plans to focus more on local and regional shows in the foreseeable future. “I’m trying to take a year off from touring,” Faergolzia says with a hint of sadness. “I have a 7 year-old daughter and it’s hard for me to go away. Physically I’ve been getting sick almost 32 CITY NOVEMBER 12-18, 2014
every time I tour. I’m a struggling artist. I don’t want to do any other job; I hope I won’t have to.” Faergolzia’s home studio is called Whenland. It reinforces his free-spirited
approach — a comfy couch, Tibetan prayer flags hang among the microphones and instruments. A framed photo of Faergolzia and two other musicians from the New York Times’ Arts & Entertainment section sits stuck way in back as if not to brag. Faergolzia is planning on producing other artists here. For now, he is plenty busy with songwriting — he is working on a project that will bring to life 100 tunes by the end of the year. He has also created a subscription service for his fans that can be accessed on his soon-tolaunch website, faergolzia.com. “Seth’s music always takes me by surprise,” says local alt-folk performer Hieronymus Bogs. “His songs force me to reconsider what music is and can do, and always leave me inspired.” Recently, Faergolzia was working at Whenland when a song by Regina Spektor came up on his computer. He was listening on his studio monitors and heard something in the production that he liked, but had not heard before. He texted Spektor and told her that there was a beautiful delay in her voice that “made her sound angelic.” “The last time we had a conversation face to face was when I met her son,” Faergolzia says. “It was right before my tour in May. I was flying through New York. The next day I went to see her and Jack (Dishel) and their new baby boy. He was asleep when I got there. I almost missed my flight because he woke up as I was about to leave. I thought, awww, I gotta hang out with him a little bit.” Like many performers Faergolzia connects with people on an emotional level. While his music can expand boundaries, he is basically down to earth. And the lyrics are generally positive as if he is writing songs for his own kid. “It’s not just a band, it’s a community,” says Mary Lupien, a 23 Psaegz fan, during a recent concert at Skylark Lounge. “There are shows at Seth’s house or at Meddlesome Lab (a local house concert venue). The sounds that Seth makes with his voice are impressive; all of the instruments coming together make a beautiful creation.”

A Rare Historic Gem
32 King Street
With the nationally renowned Susan B. Anthony House and the Frederick Douglass Resource Center nearby, this historic 1850s brick home, designed in the Italianate Tuscan cottage style, lies in the Susan B. Anthony neighborhood, a designated City Preservation District and one of Rochester’s most unique neighborhoods. Across the street in the beautiful tree-lined square is Pepsy Kettavong’s life-sized bronze sculpture of Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass. The current and fourth owners have lovingly rehabbed and preserved the architectural integrity of this one-of-a-kind home. The burgundy exterior is accented by window trim in charcoal and buttery yellow. An ornamental wrought iron balcony railing across the front of the house adds to its curb appeal. Inside, chair rails accent rooms painted in soft olive tones; in other rooms a pale amber palette is like warm afternoon light. Keeping with tradition and period materials, all windows are new, double-pane, and woodframed. New hardwood floors provide easy maintenance in the foyer, kitchen and dining area, while the living room and second floor bedrooms are cozy with fresh, neutral wall-towall carpeting. First floor rooms feature 10 to 12-foot ceilings and arched entryways. A wide in-kitchen archway, accented by graceful hand-stenciled grapevines, serves to connect the large eating area with a recessed alcove accommodating extra dining chairs and a long sideboard.

The kitchen shines with new stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and generous
cherry cabinets faced with glass. A stainless steel tile backsplash unifies the look. Dormers add charm to two spacious upstairs bedrooms, each with an exposed brick wall and ample closet space. One bedroom faces the Susan B. Anthony Square Park, and the other, the backyard. Two full upstairs bathrooms have been completely remodeled. One includes beige shower and floor tile and an elegant shell-shaped sink set into a dark curved vanity with period detail. The master bath boasts two oversized vessel sinks and a Jacuzzi tub with marble accents edging the tile surround. Creative aesthetics and use of space! On the first floor is a third bedroom/office space near the kitchen and a large powder room with fixtures and colors matching those upstairs. The finished basement with its own powder room is above grade, and receives ample natural light.

You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.
Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD
Baby Beauty
Amanda Collins, 28, took “beauty pageant mom” to the next level (down) earlier this year when she entered her daughter Luna in Britain’s UK Princess and Prince International — based entirely on Luna’s ultrasound scan at age 20 weeks. Said Collins, “As soon as I saw her image on the screen ... I knew she was a stunner.” Contest officials had accepted the scan application, and six weeks after birth, Luna was named runner-up in the Princess and Prince, and on top of that, four weeks later, runner-up in Miss Dreams UK. “All she has to do,” said Collins, “is lie in my arms and smile as I stroll down the catwalk.”
Recurring Themes
— In September, at the annual 10-day Phuket Vegetarian Festival in Thailand (ostensibly promoting abstinence from eating meat), dozens of men pierced and sliced their mouths, cheeks and arms in religious devotion in a spectacle which, though blood-drenched, was supposedly free of pain (and subsequent scars) because the fanatics were in God-imposed trances. The display supposedly brings “good health, peace of mind and spiritual cleansing,” and includes walking on hot coals and climbing blade-embedded ladders (both barefoot, of course), all to the accompaniment of fireworks and the ear-shattering pounding of drums. [Huffington Post UK, 9-29-2014] — Brad Culpepper played defensive tackle for nine NFL seasons and, not surprisingly, applied for disability when he retired, since his medical folder listed 14 MRIs, head and knee trauma and neurological and vision problems -- which resulted in doctors declaring him “89 percent” disabled and the Fairmont Premier insurance company giving him a $175,000
settlement. Fairmont sued recently to get its money back, claiming that Culpepper is, and was, “exquisitely fit,” as evidenced by a September 2013 Tampa Bay Times feature on his gym workouts, and in his having earned a martial-arts Black Belt, and in his participation for 14 days in the grueling TV series “Survivor: Blood vs. Water” in 2013. — Angry taxpayers and retail customers sometimes protest their debt by paying the bill with containers of coins (especially pennies), but what if a company did that to a customer? A court had ruled that Adriana’s Insurance Services in Rancho Cucamonga, California, had unjustifiably ejected (and assaulted) 74-year-old Andres Carrasco from its office when he complained about a canceled policy, and ordered Adriana’s to pay him about $21,000. Consequently, in August, the still-irritated company dropped off at least 16 buckets full of coins at the customer’s lawyer’s office. — Several News of the Weird stories mentioned Body Dysmorphic Disorder sufferers who sought the ultimate treatment: amputation of healthy body parts on irrationally aesthetic grounds, led by castration-desiring men. Now, 15-year-old Danielle Bradshaw of Tameside, England, also wants a useful leg amputated — but not irrationally. Her “developmental dysplasia” caused the amputation of her useless right leg, but the resultant stress on the left one has weakened it, and besides, having taken up competitive running, she wants Oscar Pistorius-style blades instead of her current prosthesis, which slows her down. However, no hospital has yet agreed to perform the surgery, considering the leg’s continued functionality and Bradshaw’s young age.
[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 34 ]
[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t lead anyone on, or you will spoil your reputation. Straightforward and fun-to-bewith will keep your calendar full. Choosing a partner will only confuse you, so bide your time and enjoy spending time with a few diverse individuals who want to have fun. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Possessiveness will stand between you and true love. Let down your guard and learn to trust if you want to develop a long and loving relationship. Meeting the right partner will not be difficult, but hanging on to that person will be problematic if you are stubborn or overreact.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t let a smooth talker entice you into a relationship that is iffy or carries way too much baggage. Hidden matters should be of concern. You are probably not getting the whole truth about past relationships. Ask questions and slow down the pace for best results. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Enjoy the moment. You’ll have smooth sailing when it comes to romance. Set the stage and pick the person you want to be with the most. Don’t shy away from someone who comes from a different background. What you both contribute will make your life interesting.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Variety is the spice of life, and this week that is exactly what you should be looking for. Don’t saddle yourself with a oneon-one relationship. You need time to experience life. Be open about your free-spirited attitude toward love, and see who is looking for a little fun and adventure. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t be shy. Get out and take part in events and activities that are conducive to meeting other single people. You will make a good impression on someone who shares your interests, concerns and perhaps is introduced to you through a
mutual friend. Online or blind dates look promising. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Be careful if someone from your past wants to get back together. People don’t change, and the same problems you faced will come back to haunt you. A fresh start is what you need, so don’t settle for someone you know isn’t right for you. Wait for “the one.” SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Take a walk on the wild side. Look for someone who excites and inspires you to try new things. Someone who shares your beliefs but comes from a different background will help you build a bright new future
you can share. Embrace the unique and unfamiliar. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A secret affair is likely to develop. Ask questions and find out where you stand before you cross the line of intimacy. You are better off dating a variety of partners than to get involved with someone who still with another person. Do what’s right and best for you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You have all the right moves when it comes to attracting love. Taking part in community events or causes you believe in will lead to someone who is just as sincere as you about making your environment a better
place. Expect things between you to heat up fast. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Easy does it. What you see and what you get will not be the same. Don’t be fooled by someone who appears to be all sweet and cuddly. Possessiveness will rear its ugly head, leaving you in a precarious position. Watch for any sign of jealousy. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Participate in just about anything that draws your attention, and you will find love. A serious connection can be made that has great potential to go the distance. Don’t be surprised if it’s love at first sight and a quick trip to the alter.
