Protecting Seneca Lake
Some of my neighbors drove to Watkins Glen recently to take part in a protest against a proposed natural gas storage facility being built by a Texas based company called Crestwood. They joined several hundred others on the shores of Seneca Lake to call for a halt to the project, which would fill a salt dome with pressurized natural gas. Seneca Lake is part of Lake Ontario’s watershed. Some portion of any brine chemicals or radioactive materials that end up in Seneca will eventually make its way to our drinking-water supply. It’s all connected. It’s also connected through economic activity. Seneca Lake by itself is important, but it’s not just one lake. It’s the whole region. The entire region needs to come together. The storage of gas in underground caverns has been done before and has proved disastrous. The gas storage facility poses risks to both ground water and, if it leaks, to Seneca Lake itself. No information on geological integrity of the salt cavern has been made available to the public or for independent scientific review, and many people fear that a catastrophic explosion similar to that of a 2012 accident in Bayou Corne, Louisiana, could occur after the cavern is filled. In that accident, a salt dome filled with gas collapsed resulting in a huge (and still expanding) sinkhole and many millions of dollars of damage. Back in the 1960’s, when compressed gas was stored in the Seneca Lake shoreline cavern, it suffered a massive roof collapse. The cavern is currently filled with brine. Opponents of the project say it’s too risky to reuse it for gas storage. Between 2001 and 2004, at least three explosions and fires
resulted after failures of other underground gas storage areas around the country, according to the Public Education Center’s investigative news website. The same news story quotes from a report by Dr. Rob McKenzie, retired CEO of the Cayuga Medical Center, who did a risk analysis of the proposed salt dome storage project. “Worldwide,” said that report, “the percentage of incidents involving casualties at salt cavern facilities as a percentage of facilities in operation in 2005 was 13.6 percent, compared to 0.63 percent for depleted (oil and gas) reservoirs and 2.5 percent for aquifers.” McKenzie’s report adds that his risk analysis shows the chances of a “serious accident” within Schuyler County within 25 years is over 35 percent. Our entire regional economy will impacted by the proposed facility. While it will bring a few construction jobs to the Seneca Lake area for a few months, the long-term impacts of truck traffic, on-going compressor noise, methane flaring, and other activity associated with a large potentially hazardous industrial facility in the heart of the Finger Lakes’ best wine country are almost certain to be negative. There are better ways to store natural gas. SUSAN PETERSON GATELEY
Lessons from the election
Did the Dems learn the right lesson? I am afraid they did not. I am afraid they may not learn much of anything in the next two years! Mary Anna Towler quoted Peniel Joseph: “In passing the Affordable Care Act, Obama succeeded in institutionalizing the signal policy achievement of our era.” But where do we go from here? People are saying that Obama lost the US Senate because of his lack of direction. “If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there” (Lewis Carroll). Obama could focus now on a “War on Error and Ignorance” with education. He could become our “Education President.” He could fire Education Secretary Arne Duncan and get more inspiring educational leadership.
He could get rid of Common Core and teach the nation the value of lifetime learning, with the internet. Obama has the bully pulpit, and he could speak out on the value of learning, constantly (with or without the funding from Congress). I say Obama’s big opportunity is education! HARRY S. PEARLE
Nice example of irony in the first two pages of the November 12 City. Mary Anna Towler cites the alignment of Democrat ideas, inequality, labor, infrastructure, public health, and civil rights with the interests of low and middle income Americans. In the letter from “IN” on the opposite page, we have a crystal clear reason why the alignment doesn’t happen. In the world according to IN, New York’s problems are all about lazy folks collecting generous New York State welfare benefits, ignoring the ridiculous golden parachutes from taxsubsidized, job-exporting CEO’s. IN would like Upstate to secede from Downstate, presumably since Upstate doesn’t need the money Downstate sends our way in subsidies. And of course we should repeal the Safe Act, because any lunatic who wants a gun at a gun show should get one without question, and they should have more than eight bad shots in one round to stop a home invader or any other collateral damage resulting from their paranoia. STAN MAIN
The continuing attitude of “We (the Democratic Party) know what is best for you, and if you don’t agree with us you are stupid, if not worse” is the elitist attitude that caused the rout. Any chance that the public does, in fact, understand the issues and has rejected all those positions you mention? Of course not. It has to be low voter turnout, ignorance, and, of course, Republican issue spending (even though they spent less than the Dems). Rationalization is so much easier than re-evaluation. Z

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
Looking for a leader for the White House Many of us have been reading Doris Kearns Goodwin’s “The Bully Pulpit: Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and the Golden Age of Journalism” this year. And boy, is it relevant right now, as Americans assess the fallout from the midterm elections and prepare for the 2016 presidential race. “Bully Pulpit” – a phrase coined by Roosevelt and a technique he used masterfully – is the story of two fascinating presidents, the stark differences between them, and the influence of the news media during their presidencies. It’s also a fascinating analysis of presidential leadership. Roosevelt was a great leader. Taft was an inherently good man, loved by many people. But he was not the leader Roosevelt was. In 2008, when he was running for president, Barack Obama appeared to have excellent leadership potential. Now that’s very much in doubt. It’s not just that Republicans in Congress seem determined to block anything he proposes. If numerous media reports are true, he’s done an abysmal job working with legislators in his own party. Should we have seen that coming? What makes a great leader? How much of Roosevelt’s leadership success was due to his personality? How much to experience? Whatever the source, Roosevelt was a powerful, effective president, leaving a legacy of national parks and forests, protections for consumers and workers, and regulations that reduced the power and manipulations of greedy corporations. The public adored him. One reason: he was a terrific communicator. He considered the White House a “bully pulpit” – “bully” meaning “good,” not “intimidating” – and he used it to help bring about the changes he wanted. Goodwin’s discussion of that usage – and of the role journalists played in helping further his causes – is thought provoking, particularly in the context of today’s politics and challenges. Take this quote from the book, for instance: “As S.S. McClure [the publisher of the popular muckraking magazine McClure’s] well understood, the ‘vitality of democracy’ depends on ‘popular knowledge of complex questions.’” And this one: Roosevelt, Goodwin writes, understood that good legislation “could be passed only if the conscience of the public was awakened, exerting pressure on the passive majority.” “In order ‘to secure proper administration of the laws,’” Goodwin
What makes a great leader? Do we know what that is as the country gears up for the 2016 presidential election?

writes, quoting Roosevelt biographer Henry Pringle, “the task before Roosevelt was nothing less than ‘to change the average citizen’s mental attitude toward the question.’” “In order to battle this entrenched spoils system,” Goodwin writes, “it was necessary to instill something of his own sense of outrage into the people, to popularize the reformist cause and foment change from the bottom up.” But Goodwin also quotes Ray Stannard Baker, one of McClure’s muckraking journalists: “Baker contended that Roosevelt succeeded through ‘the simple device of self-control and self-discipline, of using every power he possesses to its utmost limit – a dazzling, even appalling spectacle of a human engine driven at full speed.’” “Roosevelt never leads; he always follows,” Baker wrote. “He acts but he acts only when he thinks the crowd is behind him…. Upon all the great issues which he has championed, the country was prepared before he entered the arena.” So which is it? Was Roosevelt simply masterful at firing up people about issues they already cared about? A demagogue can do that. And demagogues can play to people’s fears and capitalize on those fears to accomplish their own goals. Or was Roosevelt able to educate people and change minds? Did he get them to understand complex issues, see things in a way they hadn’t previously? We badly need presidents – and Congressional leaders – who can do the latter. The number of complex issues facing this country seems to grow daily. We badly need leaders, period. And maybe, as we approach the election of 2016, we should wrestle with questions that – for me, anyway – grow out of Goodwin’s book: What makes a true leader? And how, in our democracy, can we get more of them?

Wiesner re-indicted
Robert Wiesner, husband of Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks, was arraigned on a single felony count related to an alleged bid-rigging scheme involving local development corporations with ties to the county. He pleaded not guilty. Wiesner had previously been charged with two counts, but those charges were dismissed on technical grounds.
Brooks releases budget
Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks released her 2015 budget proposal — a $1.2 billion plan that keeps the county property tax rate at $8.99 per $1,000 assessed value. But the proposal cuts county funding for child day care subsidies. The county would contribute $4.2 million, which is down from its 2014 contribution of $4.6 million.
Slaughter prevails Democratic incumbent Louise Slaughter won re-election to the House of Representatives by a narrow margin. The race came down to absentee and affidavit ballots, which gave Slaughter a final tally of 96,800
votes. Her Republican challenger, Gates Supervisor Mark Assini, earned 95,931 votes.
Rochester City Council has agreed to keep using red-light cameras at least until the end of 2019. Council gave the program a five-year renewal after a study showed a reduction in crashes at traffic lights with cameras. Some intersections did not see a reduction, however. The program has been somewhat controversial. Some people describe it as a money grab that targets the area’s poorest citizens.
Seeking Midtown developer
The City of Rochester is seeking proposals to develop a 1.1-acre site at Midtown. The properties at 275 and 279 East Main Street are adjacent to the Windstream building and the future headquarters of the Democrat and Chronicle. The proposals are due by November 26.
RG&E must negotiate with Ginna Rochester Gas and Electric customers will likely prop up the struggling R.E. Ginna nuclear power plant. The state Public Service Commission has directed RG&E to negotiate a temporary electricity purchase contract with Ginna. Earlier this year, the plant’s owner, Exelon subsidiary Constellation Nuclear Energy Group, filed a petition with the PSC requesting that action. In its filing, the company said that the plant has lost more than $100 million in the past three years and that without the contract it’d move to retire the plant. Under the agreement, which must be filed by January 15, 2015,
RG&E would buy electricity from Ginna only when it needs the power, and at negotiated prices. Ginna and RG&E had a previous contract where the utility purchased 90 percent of the plant’s power, but that contract expired earlier this year. An RG&E spokesperson said that the company won’t be able to comment until it reviews the commission’s order. During a commission meeting last week, PSC chair Audrey Zibelman said that the main goal of the order is to ensure reliable electricity service in the Rochester area. Suddenly removing a plant of Ginna’s size from the power grid would jeopardize that, she said.

NOVEMBER 19-25, 2014
A power sale agreement between RG&E and Ginna would give the utility, the state, and the organization that operates the state’s electric grid time to identify alternatives for meeting power demands, she said, should Constellation ultimately close Ginna. “The issue for us is how do we have an orderly exit,” Zibelman said. Since Ginna’s previous contract with RG&E expired, the plant has been selling electricity in New York’s competitive market. In its petition, Constellation said that the price that Ginna’s power gets isn’t enough to cover the plant’s operating and investment costs.

There is also a racial component to the suspensions. Compared to their white peers, black students were 2.29 times more likely to be suspended, Latino students were 1.45 times more likely, and black students with disabilities were 2.6 times more likely.
EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
City schools’ suspensions challenged A new report examining student conduct and discipline shows that suspensions continue to be alarmingly high in the Rochester school district. More than 54,600 days of instruction were lost due to suspensions during the 2012-2013 school year, the report says. And most of the suspensions were for minor offenses. A second finding is equally disturbing: black students were suspended at a disproportionately higher rate than their white peers for similar offenses. And black males with special education needs were most at risk for suspension. The report is the work of Metro Justice, Alliance for Quality Education, Teen Empowerment, and the Advancement Project, says Eamonn Scanlon, co-chair of Metro Justice’s education committee. The overuse of suspensions is a national problem, Scanlon says. And suspensions play a pivotal part in what social workers and educators refer to as the school-toprison pipeline. “This [report] isn’t meant as a harsh criticism of the RCSD,” Scanlon says. “It’s a community problem and we have to come together as a community and tackle it.” Almost all of the data in the report was provided by the school district, Scanlon says,
and Superintendent Bolgen Vargas has been supportive of the effort. According to the report, one in 10 city students was suspended during the 2012-2013 school year. And out of 6,373 suspensions, 88 percent were for nonviolent incidents. The majority were the result of disruptive behavior that involved no physical contact, the report says — often beginning as minor incidents that escalated. The report shows that suspensions were highest for ninth graders in 2012-2013, and that often snowballs into academic problems for students, Scanlon says. Many students appear to experience a “transition jump” from eighth grade to ninth, he says. The loss of instruction time as a result of suspensions causes many students to fall behind, he says. There is also a racial component to the suspensions, Scanlon says. Compared to their white peers, black students were 2.29 times more likely to be suspended, Latino students were 1.45 times more likely, and black students with disabilities were 2.6 times more likely. The district recognizes the racial disparity in its approach to discipline and student conduct and is working on the problem, says Adele Bovard, deputy superintendent with the city school district.

The report, which supports the work under way by a community task force on school climate organized by the Rochester Area Community Foundation, recommends eliminating suspensions for minor incidents. And it stresses the need to train teachers and school officials in alternative approaches that emphasize teaching students selfmanagement and better decision-making. Scanlon says that clarity about what constitutes minor, noncriminal offenses is also urgently needed. “This isn’t about being soft on discipline,” he says. “It’s more about having the right resources and services for students, parents, and teachers.”
COMMUNITY | BY ANTOINETTE ENA JOHNSON
Black men and the legal system The final discussion surrounding “Question Bridge: Black Males” at the Rochester Contemporary Art Center focused on black men and the legal system. The panelists were John Klofas, director of the Center for Public Safety Initiatives at RIT; former Rochester Mayor Bill Johnson; Van White, Rochester school board president; Mary Ann Wolfe, of the Rochester Area Child Abuse Network; and Simeon Banister, director of special programs at PathStone. Klofas opened the panel with his perspective on the criminal justice system and how it contains racial animosity. But as more people are becoming aware of the systematic oppression, he said, they are working to change it. An audience member asked about the effects of incarceration and was answered by the panel and by a previously incarcerated man. Wolfe said that “it is important to check on the mental health of those you may know in jail.” The previously incarcerated man said that the effects are similar to a slave being released. “You wonder if someone will ever deny you your freedom again,” he said.

Stealing Susan B.? The years can erode the complexity of historical figures. Their lives are reduced to two-dimensional images on currency and schoolroom walls, and then are further distilled into one-note symbols for the movements and mores of the day. But the facts are almost always more robust, frustrating, and fascinating. That’s certainly the case for Rochester suffragist star Susan B. Anthony. Despite the grim visage with which we’re all familiar, Anthony was no wallflower. She, by some accounts, told the judge exactly what she thought of her trial, the legal system, and her fine after being found guilty in 1873 of voting illegally the year before. Yet Anthony left no clear historical trail when it comes to abortion, says Deborah Hughes, president and CEO of the National Susan B. Anthony Museum & House. And that, Hughes says, has allowed some to step into the void to assemble scraps from speeches, letters, newspaper articles, and other sources to attempt to customize Anthony for their cause. That includes the Susan B. Anthony List and its affiliated political action committee, the SBA List Candidate Fund, Hughes says. The list and the fund “are dedicated to electing candidates and pursuing policies that will reduce and ultimately end abortion,” says the SBA List’s website. (Representatives of SBA List did not return a call for comment.) And during this year’s midterm elections, the SBA List sent a mailer to Iowa voters that incensed pro-choice activists. “The outside of the mailer looks like an official announcement of a disease outbreak,” Hughes wrote in a blog published recently on the Anthony House website. “Inside, it diagnoses that public health threat as the Democratic senatorial candidate.” In her blog, Hughes called the tactic outrageous and inconsistent with whom Anthony was. “The thing we always object to is to connect Susan B. Anthony with a political party or political movement, like the pro-life movement,” Hughes says. “That’s something that’s totally inappropriate.” Even if Anthony disapproved of abortion — or what was understood to be abortion during her lifetime; women weren’t considered pregnant until they felt the baby move — she didn’t believe in what she called legislating morality, Hughes says, so it’s inappropriate to use her name to try to get certain people elected. Carol Crossed, a Rochester resident and founder of the New York chapter of Feminists for Life and a well-known activist in the anti-abortion movement, says that Anthony’s opposition to abortion is clear.
6 CITY
NOVEMBER 19-25, 2014
For example, strong anti-abortion language is used in Anthony’s newspaper, The Revolution, she says, and Anthony wouldn’t have allowed that if she disagreed. “It’s very, very clear that she spoke out against it in all of its forms,” Crossed says. “She used her newspaper as a vehicle. Susan B. Anthony did not allow her newspaper to be a voice for positions she disagreed with.” The fact that The Revolution addresses abortion as much as it does shows Anthony’s opposition, Crossed says. Other suffragist newspapers of the time talked about abortion, she says, but not to the extent that The Revolution did. Crossed, who says she prefers the term consistent life ethic to pro-life, also references Anthony’s 1875 “social purity” speech. “The prosecutions on our courts for breach of promise, divorce, adultery, bigamy, seduction, rape; the newspaper reports every day of every year of scandals and outrages, of wife murders and paramour shooting, of abortions and infanticides, are perpetual reminders of men’s incapacity to cope successfully with this monster evil of society,” reads an excerpt. (The evil that Anthony was referring to is drunkenness.) City spoke to Hughes recently about Susan B. Anthony’s legacy as it relates to abortion and the ways that the Anthony name is being used today. The following is an edited version of that discussion. CITY: Why does what Susan B. Anthony thought about abortion matter today?
Hughes: The great thing is that people think that Susan B. Anthony has authority. How wonderful it is now that an organization can say, “Susan B. Anthony said this,” and think that will influence you. When I was kid, Susan B. Anthony wasn’t even in textbooks. So to have her cited as an authority we should listen to I think is actually pretty exciting. I think her profile’s been raised. She’s been acknowledged as arguably one of the four greatest revolutionaries in the world — it was an NPR article a couple of years ago. They were saying that in terms of nonviolent revolutions around the world that have had staying impact, it would be Martin Luther King, Gandhi, Susan B.
Susan B. Anthony. FILE PHOTO
Anthony, and Jesus, I think, were the four. It’s a good thing that people want to be connected with Susan B. Anthony’s name. The interesting thing is that a lot of people think they know what Susan B. Anthony believed and what she stood for, but they haven’t necessarily read the text. Is it appropriate to try to extrapolate what Anthony believed about abortion? So much has changed since her time: medicine, technology, our understanding of biology….
I can’t tell you what Susan B. Anthony felt about abortion. I can tell you she didn’t advocate for the criminalization of abortion. She had a cousin who had an abortion, who self-aborted and became very, very ill. And [Anthony] made a one-line comment after hearing that she had recovered. She said she will “rue the day she messed with nature.” Now, what does that mean? But to me, the issue is it’s one thing for you and me to say, “I have this political opinion; Susan B. Anthony would back it.” I have trouble with that. It’s something entirely different to take a person like Susan B. Anthony who believed so clearly in a democracy that’s based on transparency and freedom and do a political action that’s coercive or deceptive or seeks to motivate you on something other than about the facts or the position. If Susan B. Anthony believed in manipulating political systems to get the laws that she wanted to get, we probably would’ve had women voting a lot sooner. She didn’t. She believed that if you were going to have sustainable social reform, you had to convert people’s hearts. She was for sex education. She was for birth control. She was very political, but she was all about social reform. Actually, at one point, she said that you can’t legislate morality. So if you really wanted to have social reform, you had to convince people what was the right thing to do or the wrong thing to do. You couldn’t just

say, “I’m going to tell you what the right thing or the wrong thing to do is.” Or, “I don’t care what you think. I know what’s right for you. So I’m going to manipulate the political system to make you do what I think is the right thing.” That’s just not who she was. At all. Given how outspoken Anthony was, why is there no definitive historical record of her opinion on abortion?
If Susan B. Anthony thought abortion should be criminalized, she should have said something. The woman never held back on her opinions. Susan B. Anthony didn’t put herself in the discussion, so why are we having that discussion? If we want to talk about why women terminate pregnancies, then that’s a socialjustice issue. She’d love us to talk about that. If we want to talk about who has access to the resources to determine the timing or the frequency of her pregnancies, she told us to talk about that and to address that issue. If we want to talk about how economic disparity affects the health of children or the mortality rate, she would want us to talk about that. If we wanted to talk about why in Rochester we have one of the highest infant mortality rates in the country, she would want us to talk about all those issues. If you want to talk about things that Susan B. Anthony was passionate about, that’s easy. But why would we pick an issue about which she was not passionate? And the irony to me, the real challenge is that when we take people of good conscience and we name-call each other into one camp or another, and we therefore don’t have the discussions that are hard to have about the social issues and why they’re problems, then right there the wrong side wins. And that’s a travesty.

Are there other ways that her legacy is being appropriated?
All the time. An interesting discussion has been around segregated schooling. Not racially segregated — gender segregated. Susan B. Anthony didn’t think that was where we should end up. She really believed that until you had boys and girls growing up together — in the playground, in school, after school, in everything that they do — they wouldn’t have an appreciation for each other that would really let us be the society we could be. So sometimes when people say [to people at the Susan B. Anthony House], “We have a girls school; you should support that. It’s a natural mesh with the Susan B. Anthony House.” It’s like, “Well, we support quality education. But…” Another piece is around social services. In 1903, the YWCA in Rochester was opening a new building. They were doing amazing services. Susan B. Anthony was there, asked to speak, and she commended them and said, “You’re doing wonderful things for women and children, but you’re treating the symptom. What are you doing to actually address poverty? What are you doing to make sure that women can have choices?” Often people say, “Susan B. Anthony would like that we have this social program.” I think she would be pushing people. She’d be saying, “It’s great if I can make a gift to my church that’s going to have a food cupboard. But it would be a lot better if I said, ‘Is there a way for me to create a livingwage job for a person in my community?’” I wish that we were better about the complexity. Susan B. Anthony, her legacy, has so much to teach us.

BY JOE FITZGERALD RODRIGUEZ
Ocean acidification tops the annual list of important stories ignored by the mainstream media. The oceans are acidifying — even if the nightly news hasn’t told you yet. As humanity continues to fill the atmosphere with harmful gases, the planet is becoming less hospitable to life as we know it. The vast oceans absorb much of the carbon dioxide we have produced, and Earth’s self-sacrifice has spared the atmosphere nearly 25 percent of humanity’s CO2 emissions, slowing the onslaught of many severe weather consequences. Although the news media have increasingly covered the climate weirding of global warming — hurricane superstorms, fierce tornado clusters, overwhelming snowstorms, and record-setting global high temperatures — our oceans’ peril has largely stayed submerged below the biggest news stories. The rising carbon dioxide in the oceans dissolves and deforms the smallest, most abundant food at the bottom of the deep blue food chain. One vulnerable population is the tiny shelled swimmers known as the sea butterfly. In only a few short decades, the death and deformation of this fragile and translucent species could endanger predators all along the oceanic food web, scientists warn. This “butterfly effect,” once unleashed, potentially threatens fisheries that feed over a billion people worldwide. Since ancient times, humans have fished the oceans for food. Now, we’re frying ocean life before we even catch it, starving future generations in the process. Largely left out of national news coverage, this dire report was brought to light by a handful of independent-minded journalists: Craig Welch from the Seattle Times, Julia Whitty of Mother Jones, and Eli Kintisch of ScienceNOW. It is also the top story of Project Censored, an annual book and reporting project that features the year’s most underreported news

stories, striving to unmask censorship, selfcensorship, and propaganda in corporatecontrolled media outlets. “Information is the currency of democracy,” Ralph Nader, the prominent consumer advocate and many-time presidential candidate, wrote in his foreword to this year’s Project Censored 2015. But with most mass media owned by narrow corporate interests, “the general public remains uninformed.” Whereas the mainstream media poke and peck at noteworthy events at single points in time, often devoid of historical context or analysis, Project Censored seeks to clarify understanding of real-world issues and focus on what’s important. Context is key, and many of its “top censored” stories highlight deeply entrenched policy issues that require more explanation than a simple sound bite can provide. More than two-dozen colleges and universities join in this ongoing effort, headquartered at Sonoma State University. Some 260 students and 49 faculty vet thousands of news stories on select criteria: importance, timeliness, quality of sources, and the level of corporate news coverage. The top 25 finalists are sent to Project Censored’s panel of judges, who then rank the entries, with ocean acidification topping this year’s list. “There are outlets, regular daily papers, who are independent and they’re out there,” Andy Lee Roth, associate director of Project Censored, told us. Too many news outlets are beholden to corporate interests, but Welch of the Seattle Times bucked the trend, Roth said, by writing some of the deepest coverage yet on ocean acidification. “There are reporters doing the highest quality of work, as evidenced by being included in our list,” Roth said. “But the challenge is reaching as big an audience as [the story] should.”

Indeed, though Welch’s story was reported in the Seattle Times, a mid-sized daily newspaper, this warning is relevant to the entire world. To understand the impact of ocean acidification, Welch asks readers to “imagine every person on earth tossing a hunk of CO2 as heavy as a bowling ball

That’s what we do to the oceans every day.” Computer modeler Isaac Kaplan, at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration office in Seattle, told Welch that his early work predicts significant declines in sharks, skates and rays, some
Programme outlines acidification’s threat to the arctic food chain. “Decreases in seawater pH of about 0.02 per decade have been observed since the late 1960’s in the Iceland and Barents Seas,” the study’s authors wrote in the executive summary. And destroying fisheries means
wiping out the livelihoods of the native peoples of the Antarctic. Acidification can even rewire the brains of fish, Welch’s story demonstrated. Studies found that rising CO2 levels cause clown fish to gain athleticism, but have their sense of smell redirected. This transforms them into “dumb jocks,” scientists said, swimming faster and more vigorously straight into the mouths of their predators. These fish were found to be five times more likely to die in the natural world. What a fitting metaphor for humanity, as our outsized consumption propels us toward an equally dangerous fate. “It’s not as dramatic as say, an asteroid is hitting us from outer space,” Roth said of this slowly unfolding disaster, which is likely why such a looming threat to our food chain escapes much mainstream news coverage. Journalism tends to be more action focused, Roth said, looking to define conflict in everything it sees. A top-featured story on CNN focused on President Barack Obama’s “awkward coffee cup salute” to a Marine, which ranks only slightly below around-the-clock coverage of the president’s ugly tan suit as a low point in mainstream media’s focus on the trivial. As Nader noted, “important stories are often viewed as dull by reporters and therefore unworthy of coverage.” But mainstream media do cover some serious topics with weight, as they did in the wake of the police officer shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. So what’s the deciding factor? As Roth tells it, corporate news focuses on “drama, and the most dramatic action is of course violence.” But the changes caused by ocean acidification are gradual. Sea butterflies are among the most abundant creatures in our oceans, and are increasingly born with shells that look like cauliflower or sandpaper, making this and similar species more susceptible to infection and predators. “Ocean acidification is changing the chemistry of the world’s water faster than ever before, and faster than the world’s leading scientists predicted,” Welch said, but it’s not getting the attention it deserves. Combined, nationwide spending on acidification research for eight federal agencies, including grants to university scientists by the National Science Foundation, totals about $30 million a year — less than the annual budget for the coastal Washington city of Hoquiam, population 10,000.

The oceans may slowly cook our food chain into new forms with potentially catastrophic consequences. Certainly 20 years from now, when communities around the world lose their main source of sustenance, the news will catch on. But will the problem make the front page tomorrow, while there’s still time to act? Probably not, and that’s why we have Project Censored and its annual list:

Top 10 US aid recipients practice torture Sexual abuse, children kept in cages, extrajudicial murder. While these sound like horrors that the United States would stand against, the reverse is true: this country is funding these practices. The US is a signatory of the United Nations’ Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, but the top 10 international recipients of US foreign assistance in 2014 all practice torture, according to human rights groups, as reported by Daniel Wickham of online outlet Left Foot Forward. Israel received over $3 billion in US aid for fiscal year 2013-14, according to a Congressional Research Service report. Israel was criticized by the country’s own Public Defender’s Office for torturing children suspected of minor crimes. “During our visit, held during a fierce storm that hit the state, attorneys met detainees who described to them a shocking picture: in the middle of the night dozens of detainees were transferred to the external

The next top recipients of US foreign aid were Afghanistan, Egypt, Pakistan, Nigeria, Jordan, Iraq, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. All countries were accused of torture by human rights groups such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. Kenyan police in Nairobi tortured, raped, or otherwise abused more than 1,000 refugees from 2012 to 2013, Human Rights Watch found. The Kenyan government received $564 million from the United States in 2013-14. When the US funds a highway or other project that it’s proud of, it plants a huge sign proclaiming “your tax dollars at work.” When the US funds torturers, the corporate media bury the story, or worse, don’t report it at all.

Trans-Pacific Partnership, a secret deal to help corporations The Trans-Pacific Partnership is like the Stop Online Piracy Act on steroids, yet few have
heard of it, let alone enough people to start an Internet campaign to topple it. Despite details revealed by WikiLeaks, the nascent agreement has been largely ignored by the corporate media. Even the world’s elite are out of the loop: Only three officials in each of the 12 signatory countries have access to this developing trade agreement that potentially impacts over 800 million people. The agreement touches on intellectual property rights and the regulation of private enterprise between nations, and is open to negotiation and viewing by 600 “corporate advisors,” including advisors from big oil as well as pharmaceutical and entertainment companies. Meanwhile, more than 150 House Democrats signed a letter urging President Obama to halt his efforts to fast-track negotiations, and to allow Congress the ability to weigh in now on an agreement only the White House has seen. Many criticized the secrecy surrounding the TPP, arguing the real-world consequences may be grave. Doctors Without Borders wrote, “If harmful provisions in the US proposals for the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement are not removed before it is finalized, this trade deal will have a real cost in human lives.”

Corporate Internet providers threaten net neutrality This entry demonstrates the nuance in Project Censored’s media critique. Verizon v. FCC may weaken Internet regulation, which continues on page 10

CITY 9
PROJECT CENSORED continues from page 9
Electronic Frontier Foundation and other digital freedom advocates allege would create a two-tiered Internet system. Under the FCC’s proposed new rules, corporate behemoths such as Comcast or Verizon could charge entities to use faster bandwidth, which advocates say would create financial barriers to free speech and encourage censorship. Project Censored alleges that corporate outlets such as the New York Times and Forbes “tend to highlight the business aspects of the case, skimming over vital particulars affecting the public and the Internet’s future.” Yet this is a case where corporate media were circumvented by the power of the viral web. John Oliver, comedian and host of Last Week Tonight on HBO, gave a stirring 13-minute treatise on the importance of stopping the FCC’s new rules, resulting in a flood of comments to the FCC defending a more open Internet. The particulars of net neutrality have since been thoroughly reported in the corporate media. But as Project Censored notes, mass media coverage only came after the FCC’s rule change was proposed, giving activists little time to right any wrongs. It’s a subtle but important distinction.

Bankers remain 5 on Wall Street despite major crimes Bankers responsible for rigging municipal bonds and bilking billions of dollars from American cities have largely escaped criminal charges. Every day in the US, low-level drug dealers get more prison time than these scheming bankers who, while working for GE Capital, allegedly skimmed money from public schools, hospitals, libraries, and nursing homes, according to Rolling Stone. Dominick Carollo, Steven Goldberg, and Peter Grimm were dubbed a part of the “modern American mafia,” by the magazine’s Matt Taibbi, one of the few journalists to consistently cover their trial. Meanwhile, disturbingly uninformed cable media “journalists” defended the bankers, saying they shouldn’t be prosecuted for “failure,” as if cheating vulnerable Americans is a bad business deal. “Had the US authorities decided to press criminal charges,” Assistant US Attorney General Lanny Breuer told Taibbi, “HSBC (a British bank) would almost certainly have lost its banking license in the US, the future of the institution would have been under threat, and the entire banking system would have been destabilized.” 10 CITY NOVEMBER 19-25, 2014

Over the course of decades, the nation’s bankers transformed into the modern Mafioso. Unfortunately, our modern media changed as well and are no longer equipped to tackle systemic, complex stories.

The “Deep State” of plutocratic control What’s frightening about the puppeteers who pull the strings of our national government is not how hidden they are, but how hidden they are not. From defense contractors to multinational corporations, a wealthy elite using an estimated $32 trillion in tax-exempt offshore havens are the masters of our publicly elected officials. In an essay written for Moyer and Company by Mike Lofgren, a Congressional staffer of 28 years focused on national security, this cabal of wealthy interests comprise our nation’s “Deep State.” As Lofgren writes for Moyers, “The Deep State is the big story of our time. It is the red thread that runs through the war on terrorism, the financialization and deindustrialization of the American economy, the rise of a plutocratic social structure, and political dysfunction.” This is a story that truly challenges the mass media, which do report on the power of wealth in bits and pieces. But although the cabal’s disparate threads are occasionally pulled, the spider’s web of corruption largely escapes corporate media’s larger narrative.
Disturbingly uninformed cable media “journalists” defended the bankers, saying they shouldn’t be prosecuted for “failure,” as if cheating vulnerable Americans is a bad business deal. The myopic view censors the full story as surely as outright silence would. The problem deepens every year. “There are now 854,000 contract personnel with top-secret clearances — a number greater than that of topsecret-cleared civilian employees of the government,” Lofgren wrote, of a group that together would “occupy the floor space of almost three Pentagons — about 17 million square feet.”

FBI dismisses plot against Occupy as NSA cracks down on dissent Nationally, law enforcement worked in the background to monitor and suppress the Occupy Wall Street movement, a story that the mainstream press has shown little interest in covering. A document obtained in a FOIA request by David Lindorff of Who, What WHY from the FBI office in Houston, Texas, revealed an alleged assassination plot targeting an Occupy
group, which the FBI allegedly did not warn the movement about. From the redacted document: “An identified [DELETED] as of October planned to engage in sniper attacks against protestors (sic) in Houston, Texas, if deemed necessary. An identified [DELETED] had received intelligence that indicated the protesters in New York and Seattle planned similar protests in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and Austin, Texas. [DELETED] planned to gather intelligence against the leaders of the protest groups and obtain photographs, then formulate a plan to kill the leadership via suppressed sniper rifles.” Lindorff confirmed the document’s veracity with the FBI. When contacted by Lindorff, Houston Police were uninterested, and seemingly (according to Lindorff), uninformed. In Arizona, law enforcement exchanged information of possible Occupy efforts with JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, according to a report by the Center for Media and Democracy titled Dissent on Terror. The CEO meant to evade possible protests, and local law enforcement was happy to help. Law enforcement’s all-seeing eyes broadened through the national rise of “fusion centers” over the past decade, hubs through continues on page 24

East meets West [ CHOW HOUND ] BY KATIE LIBBY
Fusion cuisine is a common concept for restaurants. It allows for more menu options and an opportunity to blend traditional ingredients from more than one region to make something new and original. The concept for East/West Kitchen (337 East Avenue) is a fusion of Russian, Vietnamese, and American cuisine. Andrea Lanphere, Alex Zapesochny, and Thuan Pham — who were co-workers at iCardiac Technologies — didn’t have to look far for assistance when they decided to open their restaurant: Pham’s uncle is Tai Lee, the owner of South Wedge Diner, and now part owner of East/West Kitchen. Zapesochny is Russian and many of the Russian dishes on the menu come from his mother’s recipes. Pham and Lee are both Vietnamese. The menu has traditional Vietnamese staples like Pho with Rare Beef ($7.95), Bahn Mi with Marinated Pork ($5.50, or $7.95 with one side) and fresh Vietnamese spring rolls ($3.50). The more traditional Russian dishes come as sides, like the East/
West Potato Salad ($2.95), and Slavic Slaw (2.95) — white cabbage and peppers marinated in special oils and ciders. The dish that may personify the East meets West theme is the Cheeseburger Eggroll ($3.95 for two), a fried egg roll stuffed with ground beef, spices, and cheddar cheese. A Buffalo Chicken Eggroll is on the menu as well. East/West kitchen serves beer and wine, as well as traditional, iced and hot Vietnamese coffee, which has become a favorite among employees from various East End businesses. East/West Kitchen is located at 337 East Avenue. It is open Tuesday through Thursday, 12 p.m. to 10 p.m.; Friday, 12 p.m. to 12 a.m.; and Saturday, 4:30 p.m. to 12 a.m. Menu prices range from $2.95 to $8.95.

Quick Bites
The difference between the preparation time and the consumption time for Thanksgiving dinner is staggering. And unfortunately, for the person hosting the meal, that usually means hours of prep and a significant amount of time
spent cleaning up — while everyone else heads to the living room to slip into food comas in front of the television. It’s enough to make you want to throw your hands up and exclaim, “I’m never hosting again!” For those that want to put down the carving knives and turn off the electric mixers, there are restaurants that do the cooking and the cleanup for you. Below are just a few of the establishments in the Rochester area cooking up turkey and all the fixings — and if you know of others, leave them in the comments at rochestercitynewspaper.com. Please note that reservations are required for all restaurants listed. Nick’s Sea Breeze Inn (4581 Culver Road) will take reservations for 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. and feature a roast turkey dinner ($17.95 for adults, $12.95 for children under 10) on their menu. However, who says you absolutely have to eat turkey on Thanksgiving? Other items on the holiday menu include prime rib ($22.95 for 12 oz.), veal parmigiana ($21.95) and more. Call 323-1950 for reservations. Perlo’s Restaurant (202 North Washington Street) in East Rochester will
serve a traditional turkey dinner from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. Pasta or gnocchi with meatball or Italian sausage, prime rib, and salmon are also available. All dinners are $23.95 for adults and $12 for children 10 and under. Call 248-5060 for reservations. Tournedos at The Inn on Broadway (26 Broadway) will serve a Thanksgiving meal from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. The three course meal is $39.95 for adults and $19.95 for children. Call 232-3595 for reservations. Mario’s Via Abruzzi (2740 Monroe Avenue) will serve a Thanksgiving brunch from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. that includes selections from its carving board (roasted turkey, glazed ham, roasted leg of lamb, and seared salmon), as well as a seafood bar with shrimp and crab legs, and more. Prices are $44.95 for adults and $21.95 for children 12 and under. Mario’s also offers a “Thanksgiving To-Go Package” for $159 that includes a full Thanksgiving feast to serve 8 to 10 people and can be picked up hot and ready to go. Orders must be placed at least 48 hours in advance. Call 271-1111 for reservations. Richardson’s Canal House (1474 Marsh Road) will take reservations from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. for its three-course Thanksgiving meal. Prices are $55 for adults and $20 for children. Call 248-5000 for reservations. Why not leave it to someone else to cook the turkey and focus on perfecting your side dishes and desserts? Sticky Lips BBQ is taking orders for its hickory and apple smoked turkeys — a 12 to 14 pound bird will cost you $49.95. Call either of the store locations (288-1910 for Culver Road, 2925544 for Jefferson Road) to reserve a turkey. If you have decided to take the plunge and host Thanksgiving dinner this year and want some tips on how to achieve a Martha Stewart level feast, Wegmans Executive Chef Mark Makovec will offer turkey tips and more on his blog at wegmans.com/ blog/2014/11/turkey-talk-with-chef-mark/.

More of a generous offering than an album, Extended Family’s “For All of You” doesn’t wait long to tug at the joy inside us all. The band creates plenty of happy as well, but its true talent lies in mining it from deep within its own listeners. Listening, you suddenly get the impression that shit ain’t really that bad. The album is a densely produced, 12-song soul-search that travels outside its own circular jams to get introspective and funky. Yes, it’s funky in spots, but it’s clear, Extended Family came to the party to get down with its own extended family — which branches out beyond its 9 core members topping out at 15 souls. Fifteen ministers of joy that move from jazzy vocals to gentle flourishes, to at least one, albeit brief, foray into a bowl of psychedelic fruit punch. Though reminiscent of The Band here and there, this certainly isn’t Extended Family’s last waltz by any stretch. This is perfect for lazy afternoons. How about today? — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Music Branching out Eastman Jazz Café with Vic Juris FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21 SPROULL ATRIUM, MILLER CENTER, 25 GIBBS STREET 7 P.M. & 10 P.M. | $10 | 274-1100; ESM. ROCHESTER.EDU; VICJURISJAZZ.COM [ PROFILE ] BY RON NETSKY
Listening to jazz guitarist Vic Juris play one crystal-clear post-bop solo after another, it’s hard to imagine that his love affair with the instrument began with the raucous, distorted wails of hard rock heroes. But during his teen years in Parsippany, New Jersey, in the mid to late 1960’s, Juris was enamored of the guitarists he heard on the radio, rockers like Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton. “It was a really interesting period for a teenager to grow up in,” says Juris, who honed his technique imitating the stars. “I picked it right up,” he says. “I was in bands in high school playing Hendrix and Clapton solos.” But the guitar teacher he began to take lessons with had a different idea. He started loaning Juris jazz records. Pretty soon the young guitarist discovered a new world with new heroes: Johnny Smith, Wes Montgomery, Tal Farlow, and Barney Kessel. But he didn’t leave rock completely. “Other players were starting to come along who were combining things, like Larry Coryell and John McLaughlin, so I kind of gravitated toward those guys,” says Juris. In fact Juris, who plays at the Eastman School of Music’s Jazz Café Friday, got so immersed in jazz guitar that he decided to skip college, a decision that did not sit well with his dad — a police officer — and mom. “I don’t think they were too thrilled,” says Juris. But by the age of 20, he was working professionally with organist Don Patterson, not to mention gigs with groups like The Drifters and The Shirelles. Touring acts often needed a guitarist who could join the band cold and sightread the music. They could count on Juris. By the mid-1970’s, Juris’ reputation got him gigs and recording dates with Mel Tormé, Richie Cole, and others. Over the next several decades he played with some of the greatest names in jazz, including Dizzy Gillespie. “That was a great experience,” says Juris. “I got to play his original music. He 16 CITY NOVEMBER 19-25, 2014

was a wonderful person, very giving and very willing to share his knowledge with younger players.” Saxophonist Phil Woods became a mentor when Juris toured with his band. That was when he began to use his guitar as a “second horn,” a role he continued in the band of another saxophonist, Dave Liebman. He explains: “When I first joined Dave’s band he had a piano player, so I was playing counter melodies or second-line harmony parts the way a trumpet player would with a saxophone. Later on he decided to cut it down to a quartet, so I became the second horn and the piano player.” If that sounds like a stretch, Juris views the guitar as one of the most versatile instruments in jazz. “The original role of the guitar was vocal accompaniment,” says Juris. “But with amps, the guitar has more color possibilities than a piano has, even though you can’t play as many notes.” Among the legendary bands he brought his multi-instrumental guitar sound to, Jimmy Smith’s organ trio stood out for several reasons. “The older organ players, they would play the bass lines and solo and you were expected to fill in all the chording,” says Juris. As
for Smith himself: “He was a tough guy to work for. He didn’t like when you got more applause than he did. You just had to learn to stay on his good side.” He had a better experience with the great percussionist Chico Hamilton, who understood the possibilities of the guitar. In fact, says Juris, “He was the first guy to use guitar instead of piano.” Juris’s guitar prowess has even led to collaborations with one of his early guitar heroes. Beginning in the 1980’s he became Coryell’s frequent duo partner. They have continued to work together to this day. Despite playing with a Who’s Who of jazz greats, Juris most values the chances he gets to explore his own musical vision. “The best thing for me has always been my own group, my trio with Jay Anderson on bass and Adam Nussbaum on drums,” he says. “We play every month at 55 Bar in New York.” He’s also got a new quartet CD coming out featuring Tim Hagans on trumpet. The trio and quartet perform jazz standards but they also play Juris’s own tunes, which sometimes originate through improvisations. “I’ll record a lot of stuff, listen back, and I may discover something and develop it from there,” says Juris. “Usually the best
stuff happens when you don’t expect it to happen. If you try to sit down and write something, that’s really tough to force. “The quest is to always play something you’ve never played before,” he says. “I have total respect for the Cole Porters and the George Gershwins; that stuff has lasted all these years. But the jazz player is always looking to re-harmonize or change things around a little bit.” Juris points out that some old-school composers, notably Rochester’s own Alec Wilder, didn’t like it when jazz players took liberties. Wilder, he says, “made a comment: ‘the next thing you know they’ll be changing Shakespeare.’” When he’s not touring or recording, Juris enjoys listening to classical works, especially the music of Ravel and Debussy. He also loves the work of virtuosos like pianist Vladimir Horowitz, guitarist Andrés Segovia, and violinist Itzhak Perlman. And, of course, he never tires of his favorite jazz guitarists, Wes Montgomery and Pat Martino. But he hasn’t forgotten the artists who got him going in the first place. “I always go back to my roots — Hendrix — and I was just listening to Cream,” says Juris. “They say you can’t go home again, but I think it’s possible.”

HIP-HOP | WAKA FLOCKA FLAME
Waka Flocka Flame has recently made news, but not with his music. The rapper put the word out he was looking for a personal blunt roller, a job he would pay $50,000 a year for, and apparently received over 60,000 applications. It’s unclear if anybody has been hired, so if it sounds like a dream job to you, he’ll be in Canandaigua and you could ask about it in person? Even if it doesn’t go your way, you still get to check out some great rap. Flocka has produced several high-placing billboard singles, like “No Hands” and “Hard in Da Paint,” and continues to collaborate with many high-profile hip-hop artists. He’s admitted he isn’t much of a lyricist, but more of an entertainer, so don’t expect Kendrick Lamar style prose, but expect to have fun. Waka Flocka Flame performs Thursday, November 20, at Spacebar in Canandaigua, 65 South Main Street. 6 p.m. $25 general admission; $75 VIP for Meet and Greet. ticketfly.com; wakaflockabsm.com. — BY TREVOR LEWIS John Palocy Trio.

BLUES | JOE BONAMASSA
Dressed in two-piece cool, dapper six-string assassin, blues-rock guitar hero Joe Bonamassa looms over the stage, brandishing his guitar like Tyrannosaurus Rex. Schooled in the older electrified, jammed out guitar style of cats like Gary Moore, Jimmy Page, Robin Trower, and though quote-rich, Bonamassa is a fierce original in his seemingly effortless technique. It’s contagious, too, as illustrated by his legion of fans who strap on air guitars and shred along. Joe Bonamassa plays Monday, November 24, at the Auditorium Theatre, 885 East Main Street. 8 p.m. $82-$128. rbtl.org; jbonamassa.com. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Music From sound chip to stage Video Games Live WITH THE ROCHESTER PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21 KODAK HALL AT EASTMAN THEATRE, 60 GIBBS STREET 8 P.M. (COSTUME CONTEST AND “GUITAR HERO” COMPETITION BEGINNING AT 6:30) $25-$92 | RPO.ORG; VIDEOGAMESLIVE.COM [ PREVIEW ] BY JAKE CLAPP
There’s a special connection that video gamers have to the music used in the games they play. A lot of it is iconic, recognizable by many who’ve never touched a console because it has worked its way into popular culture: the “Super Mario Bros.” theme, for instance, and the perilous “Space Invaders” song. Even PacMan’s “waka waka waka.” But for the kids who spent countless hours hunched in front of the TV, hand cramping from the square, gray NES controller because they just couldn’t give up on “Mega Man,” the music starts to mean something a little more. “When you play a video game, you become that character,” says Tommy Tallarico, the creator, producer, and host of the concert event Video Games Live. “Therefore, the music becomes the soundtrack for your life. You’re much more emotionally attached.” Tallarico started Video Games Live to bring some of that iconic, lush game music to grand life using professional symphony orchestras, an engaging live presentation, and audience interaction. The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra will present Video Games Live on Friday, November 21, at Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre. Hosted by Tallarico and conducted by Emmanuel Fratianni, Video Games Live will see the RPO put its touch to the sweeping music of games like “Halo,” “Sonic the Hedgehog,” and “Warcraft,” while synchronized video screens and lights create an eye-popping stage show. In a recent telephone interview, Tallarico said he created Video Games Live in 2002 for two main reasons. “The first was I wanted to
prove to the world how culturally significant and artistic video games have become,” he said. A video game composer – Tallarico has worked on more than 300 video game titles — he wanted to show that video game music 20 CITY NOVEMBER 19-25, 2014
has grown past the “bleeps” and into grand symphonic scores that are just as significant as film scores. He also wanted to expose a new generation to the symphony. “I wanted to make the symphony accessible for everyone. I wanted to make it fun and bring it into the 21st century,” he said. “Let’s use lighting, let’s use special effects and video screens, a stage show production, and interactive elements with the crowd. I want people to take out their cellphones and use them during the show, instead of the usual opposite.” When he started the program — then working with fellow composer and conductor Jack Wall — he was met with a lot of skepticism, from both video game companies and symphonies: “They were saying, ‘People who go to a symphony certainly don’t play video games, and people who play video games certainly don’t go to a symphony. You’re totally screwed.’” But by July 2005, Tallarico had pulled a show together for an impressive debut with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra at the Hollywood Bowl, drawing 11,000 people.
Video Game Live’s concert in Rochester will be the organization’s 301st performance. “All I’m doing is taking this stuff I grew up on and thought was cool and I’m combining it with the power and emotion of a symphony,” Tallarico said about the appeal of the program. Sound has been a key component of commercial video games since the beginning, said Jon-Paul Dyson, director of the International Center for the History of Electronic Games, and VP for exhibits at The Strong. “It might not have been music, but

if you think of ‘Pong,’” the simplistic “boop” sounds were an integral part, he said. “Then if you think about ‘Space Invaders,’ the music plays a key part in upping the intensity as the aliens go faster and faster.” While video game tunes started with simple synthesized electronic music for 8-bit video games (which has started to make a modern comeback as a genre called chiptune), as technology advanced, so did the music, Dyson said. The diversity in gaming systems — from PlayStation and Xbox to smartphones — has also led to a wider selection of music possibilities, Dyson said. “Titles for consoles that are very expensive, that might cost millions of dollars or more to make, they may have these fully realized scores,’ Dyson said, “but then you have lots of video games for your phone that may have very simple sound effects that harken back to the early years of the arcade, or a combination of the two. The theme for ‘Angry Birds’ is pretty memorable, but it’s simple with sound effects.” Some of the 8-bit classics, like the music of “The Legend of Zelda” series, will always be popular — and even have frequent full orchestral upgrades — but as the video game industry grows, so does the money spent on creating complex scores. According to the Entertainment Software Association, in 2013, consumers spent $21.53 billion on video games, hardware, and accessories. Most game composers will draw inspiration from Classical masters: from Beethoven, Carl Orff, or Gustav Holst’s “The Planets,” Tallarico said.
“It’s in John Williams’ music as much as it is in ‘Halo,’” he said. “It’s all powerful symphonic, emotional music.” Interactivity has been a key part to Video
Games Live. Tallarico has created more than 135 musical segments for Video Games Live, he said, but since an individual performance can incorporate only about 30, he leaves it up to the audience to decide what the orchestra will play. Before every performance, Tallarico sets up a Facebook events page and asks attendees what they would like to hear. (You can find the Rochester event by searching “Video Games Live in Rochester, NY” on Facebook.) Video Games Live encourages audience members to dress as their favorite game characters and a costume contest will be held before the show. There will also be a “Guitar Hero” competition before the concert, and the winner will be brought on stage to play the game while the orchestra and Tallarico (on guitar) play along. If the player scores a certain amount of points, he or she win a prize. Another audience member will be brought on stage to play “Space Invaders” with live motion-tracking.

They look down on them,” Tallarico said. “So when you get 2,000 or 3,000 young people in a room together and their local symphony is on stage performing video game music, they’re proud that a symphony that might normally play Mozart is tonight playing ‘Mario,’ ‘Sonic,’ ‘Halo,’ and ‘Final Fantasy.’”

SINGER-SONGWRITER | JOSH RITTER
Just further proving the theory that bad times make for good music, Josh Ritter’s latest album, “The Beast in Its Tracks” (his seventh), is a visceral celebration or perhaps more of a lovelorn lamentation of the singer-songwriter’s disintegrated marriage. Emotionally charged? Yes. A pity-party? No. Lyrically adroit and vocally bittersweet, his music picks up steam with a sturdy yet subtle tack. A master of words, Ritter is also a gifted novelist having received accolades from Stephen King and earning a spot on the New York Times Best Seller List.

Mark Casey is “King Lear” in the production presented by The Shakespeare Players, which opened last week at MuCCC. PHOTO BY ANNETTE DRAGON
Speaking truth to power “King Lear” PRESENTED BY THE SHAKESPEARE PLAYERS ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15 CONTINUES THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20, THROUGH SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22 MUCCC, 142 ATLANTIC AVENUE 7:30 P.M. | $9-$19 | MUCCC.ORG [ REVIEW ] BY DAVID RAYMOND
Which of Shakespeare’s plays is his greatest? It’s a fatuous question, of course, but if I had to choose, I think “King Lear” would be a front-runner. That may be a reflection of growing older: this play has profound and unsettling things to say about aging, physical and mental decline, selfishness, abuse of power, and existence in general. With its large cast and demanding roles (including a title role that actors generally reserve for the pinnacles of their careers), it’s not a play to be undertaken lightly, but the current Shakespeare Players production of “King Lear” at MuCCC is one of the group’s best recent productions — strongly cast and intelligently directed. The story might well have begun, “Once upon a time there was a King named Lear who had three daughters...” But after that beginning things quickly enter fractured fairy tale territory. The aging Lear (Mark Casey) decides to divest his vast kingdom among his three daughters, Goneril (Katherine Sanford), Regan (Stephanie Roosa), and Cordelia (Laura Pratt). Before he does it, he wants 22 CITY NOVEMBER 19-25, 2014
each one of them to swear their love for him; Goneril and Regan play along insincerely, but Cordelia, who really does love him, refuses. Lear marries Cordelia off to the King of France (Bernard Plansky), but the remaining daughters scheme against their father and banish him from his castle, leaving him to wander the countryside with his Fool (Maria Sanguedolce) and another banished nobleman, the Duke of Kent (Matthew D. Moore). In a parallel plot line, the Earl of Gloucester (Bill Alden) turns against his legitimate son Edgar (Brad Craddock), thanks to the scheming of his bastard son Edmund (Tom Bigongiari), who also plans to have his father blinded. Suffice it to say that none of this ends well, for anyone, and before it ends, Shakespeare shows all too clearly the disastrous results of Lear’s precipitous and foolish actions, and the shocking results when a country is overrun by people with more ambition and power than moral sense. (Luckily, that could never happen here.) With some judicious cuts and rearranging of the script, director John Jaeger produces a “Lear” that not only clocks in at just about three hours (an uncut version could easily take four), but also tells Shakespeare’s story with admirable clarity. If you don’t think you understand Shakespeare, you might be surprised to discover how easily you can follow this “King Lear.” Jaeger also keeps the action moving swiftly, almost
precipitously — appropriate for a story set in a kingdom that is falling apart. This production’s first act is almost two hours long, but there was no sign of audience fatigue until very close to the end. I knew “King Lear” was an overwhelming tragedy, but this staging reminded me it is also a play of tremendous energy, hurtling ahead in mostly brief scenes. A lot of the energy, of course, comes from a uniformly good cast, including many Shakespeare Players veterans, working beautifully as an ensemble and presenting Shakespeare’s words with great clarity. (Performing in a relatively small space also helps.) Mark Casey does a remarkable job of delineating Lear’s mental and physical decline. From his abrupt violence in the first scene to his broken delivery and physical tremors as he descends into illness and madness, he is often scary and, by the end, heartrendingly exhausted. Lear’s death is almost a throwaway by Shakespearean standards, but it’s still shocking and desolating. Among the large cast, Maria Sanguedolce’s touching, heartsick Fool is especially moving; the sonorousvoiced Bill Alden is equally moving as the deluded Gloucester; and Brad Craddock and Tom Bigongari are effectively contrasted brothers. (When he is impersonating “Mad Tom,” Craddock throws himself all over the stage impressively; Bigongari’s Edmund doesn’t move any more than he has to, which works for this conniving character, one of the baddest bad guys in Shakespeare.) Katherine Sanford and Stephanie Roosa make a pair of cool, not to say chilling, customers as the sisters, and Laura Pratt is a properly reserved Cordelia. I haven’t mentioned everyone, but it is definitely a lively company. Jaeger also designed the “King Lear” set, which turns MuCCC’s adaptable black box space into a surprisingly large playing area with a ramp and two levels, which enabled constant activity and changing stage pictures. The backdrop consists of ceiling-to-floor sheets of white plastic twisted, turned, and bunched —effectively austere and lighting-friendly. Jaeger does allow one interesting scenic effect at the beginning of the play, in which strips of red plastic become a canopy.

ART EVENT | “THE ART OF PRESERVATION”
Architectural illustrator John C. Wenrich transformed skyscrapers into atmospheric and otherworldly, towering castles, and locomotive steam engines into hulking, firebreathing beasts. He imbued his watercolor paintings of barns and rural asphalt plants with a sense of sturdy beauty, just as he injected an ethereal element into his images of world fair exhibits and war-torn city ruins. The artist’s Rochester association began when he attended Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute, where he later taught part-time after RAMI became RIT. Catch a rare showing of select Wenrich watercolors at The Landmark Society of Western New York’s “The Art of Preservation” event, which will be held Sunday, November 23, 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Memorial Art Gallery (500 University Avenue). The celebration will kick off with an abbreviated annual meeting, followed by a party featuring musical entertainment by Jon Seiger and the All-Stars, and fine art by Jacquie Germanow. In addition, guests may tour all exhibits currently on view in the gallery. Drinks will be available via cash bar, and the annual silent auction will feature one of Wenrich’s paintings. Tickets to the event are $40 or $30 for Landmark Society Members.

ART | “ANCESTRAL PERSONAS” AND “MY VISUAL LIFE”
At more than midway through the month, gallery shows are winding down before brand new exhibits go up. This week and next are your final chances to check out the following shows before they close. Through November 22, AXOM Gallery (176 Anderson Avenue, Suite 303) is hosting Sue Blumendale’s “Ancestral Personas: figurative paper forms.” Breaking from her usual mode of sculpting with handmade paper and raw materials, Blumendale’s lovely work in this show uses archival photo copy paper and manufactured handmade papers used for printing her digital images. The artist hand-sewed these papers to construct intricate articles of vintage clothing, inspired by photographs of Blumendale’s European immigrant ancestors. See the show Wednesday through Saturday, 12 p.m. to 5 p.m., or by appointment. For more information, call 232-6030 x22, or visit axomgallery.com. An exhibition of Alan Singer’s paintings and prints is on view at Spectrum Gallery (Lumiere Photo, 100 College Avenue) through November 29. “My Visual Life” features 25 of Singer’s surreal new works, which are characterized by a strong influence of mathematics and the use of computer programs. In addition, copies of “Slice of Life: Paintings and Prints by Alan Singer,” a new book with an essay by Anne C. Coon, will be available for purchase at the gallery. See the show Tuesday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information, call 461-4447, or visit spectrumgalleryroc.com. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY [ SAT., NOVEMBER 22 ] Improv Comedy Battles. 9:30 p.m Bread & Water Theatre, 172 West Main St $6. 7979086. improvVIP.com.

shining a light upon the beauty, truth, and humor within the layers of familial and personal history. The work’s compassionate consideration of great loss intermingles with an exploration of coping mechanisms both safe — embodied by Kamala’s cooking, which brings people together — and strange, as explored in the sleeping disorders which manifest differently in various members of the family. Though the book is a work of fiction, there are important parallels between the novel and Jacob’s own life. One is that the children of the story’s central family are first-generation Americans; they are children of Indian immigrants, just as Jacob is. Much of the conflict in the novel originates in the children’s navigation of a culture that is not entirely their own, while living under the stress of quiet storms at home. “I always feel like I’m trying to write about invisible continents that exist between a person and their inherited country,” Jacob says. “There’s this place that you are living, that you actually live, that does not have solid borders on it — that’s porous. That has parts of India in it and parts of America in it.” The book was 10 years in the making, in Mira Jacob, author of “The Sleepwalker’s Guide to Dancing.” Jacob’s book was chosen for Writers and Books’ new Debut Novel Series.

The first work in the new series is “The Sleepwalker’s Guide to Dancing” by Mira Jacob, who visited Rochester last week to read from and discuss her book. “The Sleepwalker’s Guide to Dancing” is a quickly engaging and deeply moving pleasure. Jacob deftly interweaves believable individual lives that comprise a family that has had to navigate a gaping chasm formed by loss. Through her beautiful storytelling, Jacob also points to how the outcome of such a loss cannot be contained tidily in a predictable pattern of ripples. The book opens with a tense phone call between mother and daughter, Kamala and Amina, from which we learn that the family’s patriarch has been behaving erratically and having conversations with dead relatives. Amina’s wary decision to 26 CITY NOVEMBER 19-25, 2014
fly home begins the unraveling of layers of painful history with roots in a traumatic trip to India 20 years earlier. Though the initial focus of the book is on the father’s odd behavior, he is not the only person in the story haunted by the unsettled. Many of the characters struggle with an invisible and stubborn connection to past trauma, which rises and walks about their lives, unbidden. Jacob takes us back and forth through time
and across continents, slowly and steadily unraveling painful histories through the exploration of pivotal moments shared by the family, or experienced by single members. Readers quickly learn that the novel’s synopsis carefully guards “a big, strong hole in the middle of the book, and his name is Ahkil,” Jacob says, of Amina’s older brother. The rest of the characters spin in a troubled orbit around his gravity until their own uneasy patterns are forced to break apart and change. Jacob is adept at painting a nuanced picture of deep suffering and complicated relationships, while also locating and
part because the idea which sparked the story became a little too real for the author. “I wanted to write about a father who was receding from the world in some way, and I thought that he was probably going to get Alzheimer’s,” Jacob says. “And I wanted to write about what happens to a family when one of its members starts disappearing right in front of them.” As she was writing, Jacob’s own father was diagnosed with cancer. She shelved the book for three years “because I couldn’t bear to write about a father who was on his way out when mine was,” she says. “It felt cursed, and pretty devastating.” About a year after her father’s death, Jacob began writing again, but found that she was subconsciously imbuing the book’s patriarch with elements of her father’s mannerisms and ways that she related to him. Jacob says she feared that she’d ruined the book, and confessed as much to her husband, filmmaker Jed Rothstein. “I’m a fiction writer, and this is against the rules,” she says. Rothstein’s reassuring response was to ask, “Whose rules are these?” “It was a really sweet thing to say, from one creative to another,” Jacob says. Writing her father’s personality into a new life “was a way to get to be with him a little bit longer,” she says. For more information on Writers & Books’ programming: wab.org.

Van Cliburn gold medal winner Vadym Kholodenko performed with guest conductor José Luis Gomez and the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra on Thursday, November 13, and Saturday, November 15. PHOTO COURTESY VAN CLIBURN
Crazy rhythm and classical grandeur Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra FEATURING VADYM KHOLODENKO AND JOSÉ LUIS GOMEZ THURSDAY AND SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13 AND 15 KODAK HALL AT EASTMAN THEATRE, 60 GIBBS STREET | RPO.ORG [ REVIEW ] BY DAVID RAYMOND
Two prizewinners joined forces last week as guest artists with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. Conductor José Luis Gomez won the Georg Solti competition in 2010; pianist Vadym Kholodenko won the gold medal at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 2013. They made an impressive team in a front-loaded program that put the heaviest, or at least the loudest, artillery in the first half. Richard Strauss’s tone poem “Death and Transfiguration” has always struck me as pompous and rather empty, though being by Strauss, it has its share of luscious and dramatic moments. Gomez certainly made it listenable: he paced this piece expertly and never wallowed 28 CITY NOVEMBER 19-25, 2014
in Strauss’s rich orchestration. The last few minutes in particular came off handsomely, with a solid, glowing sound featuring some sonorous brass playing. I can look forward to my own transfiguration, if it sounds anything like this. Vadym Kholodenko chose an unusual vehicle for his RPO debut. Sergei Prokofiev’s Second Piano Concerto has an interesting history: he wrote it in 1913, while he was still a student, and first performed it amid great controversy. (‘A Babel of insane sounds heaped upon one another without rhyme or reason,” wrote one of the more temperate reviewers.) Prokofiev left the score behind when he left Russia in 1917, and it seems to be lost; he reconstructed it from memory and re-premiered the piece in Paris in 1923, to equal bewilderment. Since then this concerto has been on the fringes of the repertory – the RPO last performed it 30 years ago, with Horacio Gutierrez. Prokofiev was a more experienced composer when he rewrote his Second Concerto, but he wisely kept a lot of the crazy in. Instead of the usual three movements, it is in an oddly proportioned four: long and rather ungainly opening and closing movements bookend two smaller ones. Prokofiev is definitely playing
the enfant terrible in this bizarre but bracing music. The concerto starts with a broad melody for the piano that Rachmaninoff wouldn’t have sniffed at, but the younger composer soon comes into his own, piling grotesque orchestral effects and unending keyboard demands on top of slamming rhythms and grinding dissonances. It’s exciting if mostly rather cold music, but it couldn’t be by anybody but Prokofiev, and it offers many opportunities to an iron-fingered virtuoso – not to mention an orchestra on its toes. Gomez and the RPO dug into the grotesquerie of this music – shrieking flutes, thudding percussion, cellos and basses lumbering like dinosaurs – very entertainingly. Kholodenko played that opening melody with pleasing restraint, but when the music heated up, his temperature rose as well – up to a point. Kholodenko has a big but controlled sound, with no banging; in fact, he tosses off the hair-raising runs and leaps of Prokofiev’s endlessly inventive piano writing effortlessly. He seemed to be aiming for clarity and a certain dryness – perhaps emulating Prokofiev himself, whose recordings as a pianist similarly demonstrate great virtuosity and a reluctance to linger. Kholodenko is recording all the Prokofiev piano concertos, and I would be interested in hearing him play the rest of them – or in hearing him play most anything else, since he’s obviously got the goods. Mozart’s “Jupiter” Symphony, the second half of the program, required a pared-down RPO – double winds (but only a single flute) and what seemed like a handful of strings after Richard Strauss and Prokofiev. The RPO does not seem to have played much Mozart lately, but you’d never have guessed it: this performance was alert and deft, featuring some silky string playing and beautiful woodwind work, all the more enjoyable for being so clearly exposed. Gomez took quick tempos throughout the symphony – the Andante proceeded at a tempo faster than I think I have ever heard it played, but it came off elegantly, particularly the violins’ ornamentation during the repetitions of the main theme. The smallish orchestra brought a proper energy and a touch of grandeur to the finale of the symphony. This movement is a festival of what used to be termed “learned counterpoint”; Mozart effortlessly combines and recombines five different themes, bringing them all together in the home stretch. It’s learned, all right, but it is also one of the most exhilarating movements in music. It was worth attending this concert just to hear this finale, though there were plenty more fine musical moments beforehand.

THEATER | “THE CRIPPLE OF INISHMAAN”
In 1934, a Hollywood film crew arrived on the western coast of Ireland to make a documentary about life on the Aran Islands — an isolated life that at least one inhabitant, “Cripple” Billy Claven, considers barren, poverty-stricken, and boring. Billy dreams of getting a part in the documentary as his ticket out. That’s the situation of Martin McDonagh’s dark comedy “The Cripple of Inishmaan,” a 1996 play which was revived last season on Broadway with Daniel Radcliffe as Billy. It comes to SUNY Brockport this weekend and early in December with Sean Flynn as Billy. McDonagh (“The Beauty Queen of Leenane,” “The Lonesome West,” “The Lieutenant of Inishmore”) is not known for his sunny view of Irish life, but director Padriac Lillis calls “The Cripple of Inishmaan” “obviously, incredibly Irish with its spirit of survival.” “The Cripple of Inishmaan,” will be on stage Friday, November 21, through Sunday, November 23, and Thursday, December 4, through Saturday, December 6, at Tower Fine Arts Center Mainstage, 180 Holley Street, Brockport. $16, $11 seniors, $8.50 students, Brockport.edu/finearts. — BY DAVID RAYMOND winery@deerrunwinery.com. deerrunwinery.com.

The Witness Palestine Film Series is an annual event which utilizes the medium of cinema to shed a light on an underrepresented point of view in the Middle East conflict: that of the Palestinian people. Presenting a collection of documentary and narrative films that focus on the issue of human rights, the event seeks to help audiences gain an appreciation and understanding of the Palestinian culture. Three films still remain in the series: “Voices Across the Divide” on Sunday, November 23, at 2 p.m. along with a double feature on Monday, November 24, which pairs the documentaries “Stone Cold Justice” and “From al-Araqib to Susiya” starting at 6:45 p.m. Each film will be followed by a panel discussion featuring a host of filmmakers and human rights advocates, on hand to lend their knowledge and expertise to the dialogue. Screenings will be held at The Little Theatre and tickets are available for $10 at the box office. Visit witnesspalestinerochester.org for more information. — BY ADAM LUBITOW

A great many television viewers, especially young people, apparently learn about the news from Jon Stewart’s long-running comedy program, “The Daily Show.” Stewart interviews prominent people, some hustling their latest book or movie. He shows clips of events that the mainstream media ignore or censor, and with the help of a series of comic “correspondents,” both satirizes and reports on domestic and international affairs.

television show led him to write and direct a feature film, the docudrama “Rosewater.” Based on a memoir by the Iranian-Canadian journalist Maziar Bahari, the movie shows Bahari’s arrest, imprisonment, and torture in a Tehran prison in 2009. Bahari had appeared on Stewart’s show — a scene in the movie recreates an actual interview — which the Iranian authorities, like so many Americans, regard as real news, leading them to charge the reporter with espionage and treason. Perhaps realizing that he is at least partially responsible for Bahari’s plight inspired Stewart’s decision to make a film so different from his usual work. After a prologue that explains the odd title, the movie proper opens with Iranian security agents arresting Bahari (Gael Garcia Bernal) — who is reporting for Newsweek — in his mother’s home in Tehran. It then shifts back to the days leading up to the arrest, showing Bahari leaving his pregnant wife in London to visit his mother and cover the presidential election.

The movie mixes archival footage, including an absurd television “debate” between incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his opponent, MirHossein Mousavi, with its own recounting of events. It shows Bahari meeting and interviewing the young people who support Mousavi, work for democratic reform, and keep in touch with the rest of the world through a gaggle of illegal satellite dishes. Most of the movie shows the many months of Bahari’s imprisonment in solitary confinement, the brutal beatings he endures, and the incessant interrogations and accusations. His captors accuse him of working for the CIA, the FBI, MI6, Mossad, the American Zionists, and the notorious espionage organization, Newsweek magazine. They think his magazines, CD’s, and DVD’s are either pornographic or treasonous. The pain, the solitude, the sense of his own separation from a world that may have forgotten him drive Bahari to hallucinatory visits from his dead father, a communist professor persecuted by the shah, and his dead sister — also an activist, imprisoned when he was a child. In his imagination, they offer him advice about dealing with his terrible predicament. Bahari learns from his visions some ways to cope with the relentless inanity of his interrogations by providing his tormenters with just the sort of lies they desperately want to hear. Questioned constantly about visits to the exotic state of New Jersey, of all places, he concocts

Pick your battles [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
“Citizenfour” (R) DIRECTED BY LAURA POITRAS NOW PLAYING AT THE LITTLE AND PITTSFORD CINEMA 9
a lascivious fiction about the wonderful town of Fort Lee, an erotic paradise, where one can enjoy remarkable massages, some so passionate and intense that a client can actually die of pleasure — a prospect that apparently enchants his interrogator. Because of its subject, “Rosewater” too often settles into a repetitive series of scenes, with Gael Garcia Bernal forced to perform in the blank white box of his cell with not much else to do beyond suffer, grieve, and yearn for freedom. Its mixture of archival footage, including coverage of the fixed election and subsequent protests, international newscasts reporting on the journalist’s arrest, protests from around the world, and the clincher, televised statements by Hillary Clinton, breaks up the occasionally crushing monotony of the narrative. In addition to its function as a relevant document of a recent and probably forgotten historical event, “Rosewater” provides some compelling visual and thematic content. Its sequences showing a blindfolded, manacled man escorted by soldiers and policemen evoke memories not only of the Iranian hostage crisis, but also of the notorious photographs from Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad — two enduring images of our time. For those enthusiastic supporters of “enhanced interrogation” (curiously, the torture in the movie doesn’t include that current American favorite, waterboarding), it also shows that torture generally is a device employed by weak, stupid, and frightened men.
In January of 2013, activist and filmmaker Laura Poitras received a series of encrypted e-mails from an anonymous sender claiming to have proof that the public had been duped, and that the National Security Agency had been lying about the extent of its ability to spy on American citizens. The sender identified himself only with the alias “Citizenfour,” and if what he asserted was true, personal privacy was a thing of the past. Obviously, the source of those messages would turn out to be Edward J. Snowden, the 29-year-old NSA contractor now known forever as one of the most infamous whistleblowers in US history. Snowden says that he chose Poitras because of her history of directing films that asked hard questions about the actions taken by the American government in the aftermath of 9/11 — including the Iraq War doc, “My Country, My Country,” and “The Oath,” which focused on Guantanamo. Her efforts led to her inclusion on the NSA’s watch list. Poitras agreed to meet her source in Hong Kong, bringing along Guardian journalist Glenn Greenwald and later,

Guardian reporter Ewen MacAskill. The remarkable, chilling new documentary “Citizenfour” puts us in the room during their first meeting, as Snowden handed them the biggest scoop of their careers. “Citizenfour” (which has made this year’s shortlist of potential Academy Award nominees for Best Documentary) has a crackling, urgent power that comes from seeing history being made. Despite taking place almost exclusively in the Hong Kong hotel room which becomes the group’s home base, the film plays out like a real-life espionage thriller; Poitras even edited her footage secretly in Berlin, for fear that the work would be seized by the US government. We observe the conversations between Snowden and Greenwald, as the ramifications of the NSA spying are clearly laid out, and we remain in the room over the subsequent eight days as the story breaks and reaches a global audience. Snowden’s face becomes a constant presence in the nonstop, 24-hour news cycle; the media turns him into a symbol of liberty for our confused modern age, and all the while Snowden watches the debate unfold on the hotel television set. Poitras’ camera allows us to glean a little more insight into Snowden, whose calm exterior reveals a soft-spoken, thoughtful, and somewhat furtive young man who clearly thought a great deal about his actions before deciding to come forward. Regardless of what you feel about Snowden himself, it’s clear that he has principles and believes that he’s done the right thing. But he’s not the story, and Poitras is careful not to allow his presence to overwhelm what’s truly important. Her film asks that we consider the implications of our culture’s expectation of constantly being watched, and the way that forces us to censor ourselves and limits the boundaries of our exploration. You wonder if Snowden would have taken the same actions in his fight for intellectual freedom and the unrestricted flow of information if he had known
that the American public would have responded with the most dangerous reaction of all: an apathetic shrug.

In this eye-opening documentary, screening as part of the Witness Palestine Film Series, Israeli author Alice Rothchild interviews Palestinian survivors of the Nakba.

Closing out the Witness Palestine Film Series is this documentary double feature, beginning with “Stone Cold Justice.” Originally created to be broadcast on Australian news, the film investigates the shocking Israeli military prosecution specifically targeting Palestinian children and the results of a policy which cultivates fear in the citizens of the West Bank. Particularly distressing is footage of soldiers detaining a 5-year-old boy accused of throwing a stone at a passing car; it would almost be funny is it wasn’t horrifying. The film is paired with “From al-Araqib to Susiya,” a brief documentary examining the tragic demolition of two “unrecognized” Palestinian villages.

Monroe Avenue is a microcosm of our city’s vibrant diversity, from the The Strong, The Bug Jar, and Vietnamese storefronts near downtown to Aaron’s Alley, the Genesee Center for the Arts, and Han Noodle Bar east near Brighton. As Rochester expanded at a rapid pace in the early twentieth century, neighborhoods sprung up to supply the demand for housing along streetcar lines like Monroe Avenue. The Upper Monroe Neighborhood near the city’s eastern border is surrounded by the unique natural beauty of two of our three glacial moraines, Pinnacle Hill and Cobbs Hill.

Constructed around 1909 at the foot of Pinnacle Hill, 97 Alliance Avenue is a distinctive American Foursquare home. Originally owned by Ernest L. White, who worked in the City Clerk’s Office, its double coursed wood shingle siding, bay windows, and full width front porch beckons you in. The porch’s turned balustrade with Tuscan order columns provides a splash of Colonial Revival classicism to an otherwise very Arts and Crafts style home. Passing through the substantial oak front door and vestibule, the spacious foyer impresses with its large paneled oak staircase leading to a landing adorned with a stained glass window of Art Nouveau stylized tulips. Through a set of pocket doors the large living room with its stained oak woodwork, oak floors, built-in bookcase, elaborate repurposed oak hearth, bay window, original brass wall sconces, and decorative cast iron radiators
establishes the recurring aesthetic theme of the house. Opening another set of pocket doors reveals the dining room with a set of tulip motif stained glass windows, large bay window with a stained glass center transom, more oak woodwork including a plate rail and cross beamed ceiling, and oak floors with inlaid border. A dual swing door leads to the original butlers pantry with full height glass fronted cabinets providing plentiful storage. The kitchen is modest but provides ample counter space and storage and features additional oak woodwork and access to a shallow rear porch. Upstairs are four bedrooms with plentiful light from several windows and bays, more stained oak woodwork, beautiful two panel oak doors, and heart pine wood floors, all arranged about a center hall. The linen closet and bathroom with large clawfoot tub are shared by all. The attic has plentiful light from its four window dormers and is finished as a fully functioning one bedroom apartment, or maid’s quarters, depending on your lifestyle. The basement is partially finished with the third full bath, laundry room, wine cellar and various storage areas. This 2,421 square foot home is a great unadulterated American Foursquare within a short walking distance of shops, restaurants and a city park.

Foreclosure rescue scams Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. 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. The foregoing Summons is served upon you by publication pursuant to an order of Honorable J. Scott Odorisi, Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, signed on the 30th day of October, 2014, in Rochester, New York and to be duly entered in the Monroe County Clerk’s Office, in Rochester, New York.

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
The Other World Series
In October, another premier world sports event reached its climax, with one team left standing, rewarded for months of grueling practices, to the cheers of adoring, frenzied fans. The “world series” of professional team computer games was settled on a stage in a packed, 40,000-seat stadium in Seoul before three gigantic TV screens and an Internet audience of millions. The powerhouse Samsung White team out-moused and -keyboarded the Chinese champions at “League of Legends” (which 27 million gamers worldwide play every day), using its fantasy characters to destroy opponents’ bases. The winning team took home $1 million of corporate money, but future earnings should escalate when idolized world-class players unionize and swing merchandising endorsement deals.
Can’t Possibly Be True
Carnell Alexander at one point owed about $60,000 in child support for a kid he did not father (according to a DNA test) and knew nothing about, but despite “successfully” challenging the claim 20 years ago, he still owes about $30,000. The mother who accused him long ago admitted lying (in that naming a “father” was necessary to get welfare benefits), and while a judge thus wiped out Alexander’s debt to her, the state of Michigan nonetheless still demands that Alexander repay benefits it had paid to the mother. America’s largest pornography website, PornHub.com, decided recently to erect a public billboard prominently encouraging the use of its service, first selecting as its location the New York City neighborhood formerly the smut epicenter of the city, Times Square. However, that area is now respectably tourist-friendly, and the billboard
had to be relocated — to Los Angeles’ West Hollywood, near the headquarters of PornHub’s parent, MindGeek. The sign features a person’s two thumbs and fingers forming a rough version of a heart, beside the message (inspired by a Beatles song), “All You Need Is Hand.”
Brits Behaving Britishly Bad (1) Literature professor Thomas Docherty was back at work in October following his nine-month suspension from the University of Warwick for “inappropriate sighing” during meetings with a senior colleague, along with “making ironic comments” and “negative body language.” (2) In October, Andrew Davies, 51, was ordered by magistrates in High Wycombe, England, not to lie down in public places anymore (unless genuinely stricken by emergency). Previously, he had a habit of making bogus “999” (911) calls to get attention, and when police confiscated his phone, he began compensating by lying in roads until compassionate passersby called for ambulances.
The New Math
More than 6 million students have downloaded the new iPhone app PhotoMath to solve Algebra I and Algebra II problems by pointing the phone’s camera at a printed equation. The answer, and the explanation, quickly appear on a screen, as a teaching tool -- or for the students to show “their” work if PhotoMath is used on exam questions. The Croatia-based developer told the Quartz website in October that it is working on upgrades for higher-level math equations (though no relief is in sight for those chronically pesky “word problems”). Meanwhile, the debate has been triggered over whether PhotoMath is a dynamic technological advance in education — or a cheating-enabler.
[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 36 ]
[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Get all the information you can about the person who interests you before you make a move. What you see and what you get will differ. Don’t judge on appearances alone or you will end up being disappointed. Someone you are already friends will prove to be a better candidate for love. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Sign up for an interest course or get involved in an event that is out of the ordinary for you, and someone will catch your eye. Don’t feel you have to do something spectacular to make an impression. Practicality coupled with a solid long-term life goal will attract someone
who suits you perfectly. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll draw attention by the way you dress and carry on this week. Don’t be afraid to make a splash that will show how versatile you are and what an exciting life you lead. You want to attract someone who has just as much pizzazz as you. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t let an emotional situation override your chance to find love. Pull yourself together and make a point of presenting how special you are and the type of stability and security you offer. Sending a persistent and consistent message will attract someone just as special as you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take up a hobby or a challenge that lets you show off your physical attributes, and you will attract someone willing to help you get through any misfortune you encountered in the past couple of years. Don’t hide the facts. An honest assessment of your situation will be attractive to someone unique. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t trust everything you hear. Someone may show interest in you personally, but you can rest assured there is more to it than meets the eye. Ulterior motives based on what you have or who you know will be behind the interest you are being given.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’ll be drawn back in time. Re-evaluating a past relationship or a crush you had on someone will tempt you to reconnect to see if you can make it work. You’ll end up with more than you bargained for. A change of heart will help you let go and move on. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Keep your eyes and ears open. Someone you meet will be hiding information pertinent to whether you should pursue a relationship with this person. Ask questions and make a point to get to meet friends and family of your new interest before you make an intimate move.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ve got all the right moves to attract someone special, but make sure you can display what you have been bragging about to the object of your desire or disappointment will set in and your lover’s interest will be fleeting. Better to underestimate than to exaggerate. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Easy does it. Emotions will be difficult to control, and the likelihood of meeting someone who is looking for a favor rather than a relationship will lead to a misunderstanding that is likely to deplete your ego. Figure out what the motive behind the interest is before you become intimate.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Love is hot physically, but when the chemistry starts to wear thin, you’ll be left with someone who doesn’t see things your way and who isn’t willing to compromise. Be as quick to move on as you were to get involved, and you will notice someone offering more substance. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Get to know someone who interests you before you decide to turn your pursuit into a physical encounter. Offer a true picture of who you are and what your life long goal is. If you are too accommodating and quick to agree with your love interest’s plans, you will end up having regrets.
