Suburbanites can help the city

Your October 12 issue was the first I’d heard that Mayor Warren is trying to get state legislators to keep people out of jail by allowing payment options similar to those available to suburbanites for traffic violations.

Next time, get suburbanites involved.

We in the suburbs are concerned about and affected by poverty in the city. We can urge our legislators to insist votes be held. We can urge them to rally fellow legislators to halt the craziness described in NPR’s Fresh Air program, “Is America Engaged in a ‘Vicious Circle’ of Jailing the Poor?”

Listeners learned that 30 percent of people in Oklahoma City’s jail are there for traffic violations such as a broken tail light.

Jails charge inmates fees for room and board, lab tests, public defender applications, and more. Those with jobs lose them because they cannot pay the fees to get out of jail.

Without a payment options plan, Rochester is likely no better than Oklahoma City.

There’s power in numbers. Plan to include suburbanites in the loop to get this legislation passed.

Rental practices hurt the poor

As I have been contemplating where I am going to live and how 2 CITY

OCTOBER 26-NOVEMBER 1, 2016

that is going to happen, I realized that there is some real rental bullshit going down with public subsidized housing in this city. I called the Housing Council, who bumped me off to the Housing Authority, where I left a message. I spoke to someone at Eldersource, who is looking into the issue. I have sent emails to Empire Justice Center and Monroe County Housing Authority.

I am a 56-year-old woman who qualifies for senior housing. I am on DSS while I wait for an SSI hearing, which is 1.5 years off. I have applied for senior subsidized housing, which advertises that they accept DSS. Yet when I apply, I’m told I do not qualify as my DSS budget is $756 and their rental rule is $800, even for a $300-400 studio.

I have applied at Charlotte Harbortown Homes and Midtown Manor, with the same result.

I think it is unfair that rental places such as these are using a 30 percent income rule on people who have no income and are approved by the department of housing. It is also dishonest to say that they accept DSS for single occupants when they clearly do not.

I am notifying everyone I can think of about this deplorable loophole devised to further abuse the poor and deny us reasonable housing.

I have been a taxpayer since I was 15 years old and have been renting living spaces since I was 17. I have references for being a clean, quiet, and respectful tenant.

And yet at 56 years old, I am sleeping at friends’ houses because I cannot find a decent place to live.

The least I can do for us all is blow the whistle and make the city aware of what their rental “standard” is doing to the poor.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

This divided nation Well, where do we go from here?

Regardless of the outcome of the election on November 8, what on earth are we going to do about our national government?

What, in fact, are we going to do about this country?

Like many Americans, I live in and work in a bubble, among friends, coworkers, and neighbors who are pretty much like me. A blue-city, blue-state bubble, in my case, dominated by Hillary Clinton supporters.

And a fair number of my friends have related the same experience recently: discovering that someone they thought they knew well – someone with whom they thought they had a lot in common – is a Trump supporter. “I just don’t understand them,” my friends say.

Me, either. And I’d bet that Trump supporters don’t understand me.

We are a severely divided country.

The division cuts predominantly along education, class, and geographic lines, sure, but it’s evident everywhere. And it’ll prevent us from working together to solve very serious problems – locally and nationally.

It’ll take working together to overcome the economic inequality that is wasting our human and financial resources. We’ll have to work together to address the climate changes that threaten the planet. We’ll have to work together if we’re to serve as partners in a world challenged by war and poverty.

And as scary as the prospect of a Trump presidency is, a Clinton presidency won’t heal those divisions. They’ll continue to be acted out in national politics.

If we had any doubt about that, it was washed away last week when John McCain announced that if Hillary Clinton is elected, Republicans won’t vote on anyone she nominates for the Supreme Court.

Anyone.

For at least four years.

Clinton supporters may find hope in polls showing that Democrats might take control of the Senate. But a fewvote majority won’t be enough to keep Republicans from filibustering Clinton’s Supreme Court nominees. Under Senate rules, Supreme Court nominations require sixty votes to avoid a filibuster.

I haven’t seen any polls suggesting a Democratic Senate win that large. And the Washington Post noted on Sunday that a Democratic majority would likely last only two years. In 2018, 25 Democratic senators’ seats will be up for election, compared to only 8 Republicans’ – and the Democrats will face an uphill battle in many of them.

As scary as the prospect of a Trump presidency is, a Clinton presidency won’t heal the divisions in this country.

“You see where this is all headed,” New York Magazine’s Ed Kilgore wrote the day after McCain’s pledge. “We are on the brink of a new era in which bipartisanship is functionally dead and divided partisan control of the federal government keeps anything significant from happening.

That is significant not for the reasons we so often hear — the demise of those wonderful days when the good old boys of both parties got together over drinks and cut deals without regard to party or ideology — but because divided government is the rule more often than it is the exception in our system.”

The source of that division is not, as some people have suggested, simply a rigged political system. Yes, Republicans have capitalized on the division, gerrymandering election districts to get more influence than they would have otherwise. Democrats have gerrymandered, too. But the parties didn’t create the division. The division, among people who love their country and are concerned about its future, is real.

We can point fingers at politicians all we like, but that won’t solve the problem.

This is a representative democracy. The politicians are people we elected. Money has an outsized influence, to be sure, but we are not sheep. Well-funded special interests can shape opinion, but they didn’t invent the fears and hopes and prejudices and preferences that divide us. They have merely played to them.

And unless average citizens like us find a way to understand each other, to work together despite our differences, we’ll continue to be the divided nation we are right now, in Congress and at home.

Is change possible? Given the mistrust and vitriol of the presidential campaign, that job looks formidable. rochestercitynewspaper.com

Kodak jumps into smartphones

Kodak will introduce its first smartphone, the Ektra, to the European market before the end of the year. The phone combines a retro camera-like design, a 21-megapixel camera, and a 4G phone for about $550. Ektra won’t be available in the US until sometime in 2017.

Pick your poison

A group of fossil fuel power plant owners filed a federal lawsuit to halt New York’s planned nuclear power plant subsidies.

The state included the subsidies, which Upstate nuclear plants say they need to remain viable, as part of its new Clean Energy Standard. The suing power companies say the state is undermining federal policies intended to let markets set energy prices.

Clerk seeks to reclaim money

The County Clerk’s Office sent letters to people who it believes benefitted from improperly waived fees on passports or certain pistol permit transactions, according to media reports.

County Clerk Adam Bello has said that more than 600 waivers were issued under his predecessor, Republican Cheryl Dinolfo.

County still at odds with its largest union Negotiators for Monroe County and for its largest union are headed back to the table for more contract talks.

Landmark group picks annual five

On the Landmark Society’s “Five to Revive” list this year are the former Rochester Brewing Company complex on Cliff Street; a commercial block in downtown Perry; Dove Block in Geneva; Lake Ontario State Parkway; and an out-of-the-box pick, the traditional trades. Historic buildings need trained professionals to rehabilitate them, the society says.

The list selects sites for targeted investment.

County and CSEA Unit 7400 officials agreed on a contract proposal in September, but the union’s members recently rejected the deal by a 463 to 377 vote. The union has 1,700 members working in every area of the county, including the zoo, finance, and health.

“Let me be perfectly clear -- we are committed to reaching an agreement that is respectful to employees and taxpayers alike,” unit president Jim D’Amico said in a statement.

The union plans to send members a survey to find out what they didn’t like about the proposal, which included a “considerable” increase in what active and retired workers would pay toward health insurance, says Ove Overmyer, a union spokesperson. Union officials can use the feedback to guide them in the next round of negotiations, he says.

The last time CSEA members voted on a contract was 2012, when

then-county executive Maggie Brooks was running for Congress. They approved a four-year agreement, but three of those years were retroactive and included no pay raises. The union has been working under an expired contract since the end of 2013.

“We are disappointed the union lost the membership vote, but the county remains committed to settlements that allow it to recruit and retain talented employees while respecting the fiscal challenges facing taxpayers,” county spokesperson Brett Walsh said in a statement. “The County and CSEA will continue the negotiation process.”

Only two of the county’s eight unions – the Federation of Social Workers and the sheriff’s road patrol deputies union – have contracts. The Sheriff’s Office command staff union is voting now on a tentative agreement, and results of that ballot will be released on October 28.

A chunk of the site could become a new natural play area, similar to the one at Abraham Lincoln Park near Irondequoit Bay. It would use materials such as logs and rocks from Highland or other county parks to create features like balance beams, ladder crawls, and climbing areas.

PARKS | BY JEREMY MOULE

County presents ideas for Highland Park When Monroe County knocked down the old Cornell Cooperative Extension building off of Highland Avenue in the city, it gained about 2.5 acres of land for Highland Park. The Extension moved its office to space at Seneca Park at the start of 2015, and its property reverted to county ownership.

Some of the former Extension site is paved, so it’ll probably be used for parking.

But a chunk of the site could also become a new natural play area, similar to the one at Abraham Lincoln Park near Irondequoit Bay. It would use materials such as logs and rocks from Highland or other county parks to create features like balance beams, ladder crawls, and climbing areas.

The projects are among several tentative Highland Park proposals that the county and its consultant, Barton and Loguidice, presented publicly last week. The county is preparing a master plan for the two sections of Highland Park that are south of Highland Avenue, which it hopes to complete by the end of the year.

One of the sections includes the former Extension site as well as the Lilac Festival site; the other is bisected by South Goodman Street and bordered by Elmwood and Highland avenues.

Potential projects also include a rehab of the footpaths in a woodlot behind the Extension site, new signs, and additional plantings.

“We’re letting the lilac collection jump Highland Avenue,” said Tom Robinson, a landscape architect and environmental planner for Barton and Loguidice. Staub added that the county’s horticulturist, Mark Quinn, has been adding lilacs to the southern half of the park for several years.

The county may put a lodge off of South Avenue, right at the park’s border with the Al Sigl campus. Lodges have become a standard addition to county parks in recent years.

Staub said the location provides good views of the park and abuts an existing parking lot. But the project would be five or six years off, since the department doesn’t currently have money for it, he said.

The proposals call for the county to leave the South Goodman Street land alone and let it continue as “unprogrammed” space, Robinson said. The county may consider planting some additional trees in that area.

The residents who attended last week’s meeting were open to the proposals, for the most part. Tom Kicior, who also represents

the Highland Park Conservancy, stressed that the county should consider pedestrian safety improvements, especially on Highland. South Goodman Street between Elmwood and Highland has no sidewalks, which is a problem, too, he said.

Kicior also encouraged the county to consider trimming the proposed size of the Extension site parking area. The concept calls for around 85 spots, with six set aside as handicap-accessible, but the county isn’t set on those numbers, Robinson said.

The City of Rochester’s signature neighborhood investment program is in for some changes. Focused Investment, which began in 2009, targeted four borderline city neighborhoods for an intense outlay of time and money: Marketview Heights, Beechwood, DeweyDriving Park, and Jefferson Avenue.

The goal was to stabilize the neighborhoods and possibly help them turn the corner toward growth.

A recent evaluation by a consultant showed that the program has had some successes, but that the city would do better to narrow its focus to one or two neighborhoods.

Focused Investment was hampered somewhat by the recession and by the fact that the chosen neighborhoods were in worse shape than the “borderline” label suggests, officials said.

City officials will use the consultant’s feedback to reinvent Focused Investment, they said at a meeting last week. That may mean choosing new neighborhoods to target while also seeking to protect the investments made in the four Focused Investment neighborhoods, they said. They will seek a “graceful exist” from those neighborhoods, they said.

The new effort may not be called Focused Investment, either. And it will be tied into the development of the city’s new comprehensive plan as well as the work being done by the Rochester-Monroe Anti-Poverty Initiative at United Way.

Charge up and go says. “I go to gas stations to wash the bugs off my windshield.”

Labine installed a second electric meter on his home so he could track the energy for his vehicles separately from the electricity for his home, which is all electric.

“Last month, my total bill for September was $103 for my house and my cars,” he says.

But he says that the cost of electricity varies depending on where you live and how energy-efficient of a consumer you are. Labine updated his home, an older structure, to conserve as much energy as possible.

There’s no question, however, that the drastic reduction in emissions is what drives many EV sales.

“My wife makes emission-control parts, but she doesn’t even need them in her own car,” Labine says.

Cruising Route 66 in your Chevrolet or Pontiac V8 was once the ultimate expression of the American spirit — embodying freedom, restlessness, and the wide open road.

But more than a half-century later, electric vehicles are inspiring a much different American spirit: one concerned about the steep fiscal and environmental costs of fossil fuels.

EV’s barely make up a toenail in the full body of today’s US auto market, but they’re poised to play a much larger role in the notso-distant future. Dozens of people showed up at an electric car promotion at I-Square in Irondequoit last month to learn more about EV’s and to take one for a test drive.

The event was sponsored by the Electric Auto Association, Plug In America, and the Rochester chapter of the Sierra Club. Similar events have been held all across the country in recent years.

Bill Labine, who has been a member of the Electric Auto Association for more than 20 years, attended the Irondequoit event.

He says that building EV’s used to be a favorite pastime of engineers and tinkerers; he once had a Chevy pickup that had been converted to an EV. But those days are long gone, he says.

A dark blue 2016 Chevrolet Volt sits next to an off-white Nissan Leaf in the driveway of Labine’s home in Avon; he installed two electric charging units on the side of his house. A large cable from the charging units easily connects to the electric receptacle on 6 CITY

both cars. His charging demonstration is so simple it’s anticlimactic.

“Most of us charge at night, so if you’re one of those people who recharge your cell phone at night, it’s really the same thing,” he says.

The evolution basically went from gaspowered engines to hybrid gas-and-electric vehicles such as the Toyota Prius and Chevrolet Volt, to pure electric vehicles such as the Nissan Leaf. The pace of innovation since 2010 has been fairly rapid.

Just over 65,000 EV’s were sold nationwide from January to June 2016. That number may seem small in comparison to the total market, but many in the green car industry see opportunity.

Excitement over Tesla’s Model 3, an allelectric car, is the clearest example: it was the largest pre-order of a car in history.

“In case you weren’t paying attention, something amazing just happened to the automobile industry,” wrote Ion Yadigaroglu for Crunch Network, a technology and innovation website. “The fact that within days of launch, about 400,000 people paid $1,000

each for a car they will receive in 2018 is simply astounding.”

But the road to EV acceptance, as with most major technical advancements, has been bumpy. A study commissioned by the Sierra Club shows that the industry has trouble getting dealerships to properly display EV’s.

And dealerships have been slow to educate their salespeople about them, the study says.

Also, the list price of EV’s and cost of operating them isn’t as straightforward as it is with traditional gas-powered vehicles. In the latter, the consumer buys or leases the vehicle and pays whatever the price of gas is at the pump. Right now, it’s about $2.30 a gallon for regular gasoline.

But it’s a little different with EV’s. Labine says the list price for his Chevy Volt was about $34,000, but he was able to negotiate that to about $30,000. The federal government offers consumers of electric and plug-in hybrids a tax credit between $2,500 and $7,500, depending on the size of the battery. Labine’s Volt qualified for the $7,500 credit, further reducing his purchase price.

Governor Andrew Cuomo has approved state rebates of about $1,000 on purchases of EV’s, but the funds have yet to be allocated.

Though the state and federal government sweeteners are helpful, the savings for buyers aren’t as immediate or as impactful as the dramatically lower energy costs.

“I’ve gone 1,000 miles in the Volt and haven’t used a half-tank of gas,” Labine

EV’s are similar to cars of most makes and models when it comes to handling and comfort – from minimalist to luxurious. With its sculptured front and raised back end, the Volt, for example, has a sleek feline-styling compared to the more muscular Chevy Camaro.

Volt also has keyless access and push-button starting, and the instrument panel resembles an electronic game more than a dashboard. The driver is constantly informed of every aspect of power usage and driving range in an interior that is so quiet, it’s hard to even tell the car is on.

The biggest challenge for EV’s is overcoming what green car experts call “range anxiety,” which is a fear of running out of energy and not knowing where to recharge.

The early plug-in all-electric vehicles, those without some type of alternative energy source, have a range of about 80 miles, which is often reduced if you use electricity while driving, such as turning on the heater. Commuting long distances in those EV’s has been an issue for some drivers.

But some EV’s that are about to come onto the market promise a driving range of 200 miles, which should reduce fears about running out of energy.

Easy access to private and public charging stations is another concern for some potential EV buyers. Charging stations aren’t as abundant or as visible as gas stations, but that’s changing; the City of Rochester has 24 EV charging stations around the city and charging is free for now.

And tools such as PlugShare, which is an app and a website, and the website Chargepoint.com tell drivers where to go for a charge, Labine says.

“You whip out your iPhone and you see that the city has charging stations,” he says.

“You can tell which ones are in use and which are available. It’s really not that difficult. There are even all these people on PlugShare who will say, ‘You need a charge? Give me a call.’”

How a restaurant does with its vegetarian and vegan options is a strong indicator of the skills of those working in the kitchen.

Since you’re not dealing with the traditional meat-starch-vegetable combination, dishes have to be creative; both the restaurant and the patron need to step out of their typical lanes. I’ve started spending the majority of my time as a vegetarian, so that creativity has become essential. While I still love a great piece of meat, I’m trying to eat it only on rare occasions and in smaller portions.

My wife and I decided to try El Basha in Victor to see to see how things would go if we took meat off the menu for a night. If you’re

a staunch meat-eater don’t worry — we tried some of the animal-based options on our second visit.

El Basha’s menu puts an Egyptian spin on Mediterranean classics, and features ample vegetarian options. We kicked things off with the Egyptian Delight ($6 as an appetizer; $12 for a plate), an engaging variety of dips and falafel all in a fried pita bowl. The savory mix of components worked, although the individual flavors of the foul, eggplant, and tahini got lost. The house-made falafel stood out, with a base of dried fava beans and chickpeas that had a crunchy exterior and a moist interior. These fritters alone were worth the trip — it’s hard to find good falafel like this in Rochester. If you’re looking for a to-go option, the falafel pita ($6.50) is a wellbalanced bet.

The Koshary ($12) combined al dente lentils, chickpeas, and rice in what came across like an Egyptian garbage plate. The house red pepper hot sauce was dynamic and a necessary addition to the Koshary to brighten up the dish’s cooked-down

tomato sauce topping. An addition of yogurt could have helped round out the dish, and would have made things a little messier. A garlic-laden hummus ($5.50) served with toasted pita was a solid side dish, but fresh pita and more lemon would have made more of an impact.

These dishes made for a completely satisfying, delightful meal that never felt the need for meat. If you want to explore taking meat out of your diet, the execution at El Basha makes it easy to do so.

Still, on our second visit, meat came back into the picture, starting with the Kebda Alexandria ($8 for an appetizer; $16 for a plate). The dish’s tender slices of beef liver had a delightful marinade with notes of lemon, cumin, and garlic. The meat was over salted, but the spice level was spot on with slices of hot pepper to go on each piece.

Lamb’s more intense flavors can be overwhelming if not balanced with complementary ingredients, and the Fata Carouf ($18) did it well by braising the meat in a tomato sauce accented with warm spices.

It reminded me of a rich Indian dish and one perfect for a cool, fall day.

The Mashawi mixed kebab plate ($18) was cooked well, but in contrast to the Kebda, a lack of salt and seasoning held the dish back from being a standout. I did enjoy the charred edges of the chicken and steak while the subtle addition of fresh herbs in the kafta kebab accented the ground meat well.

Baklava and namoura ($3 for two pieces) both hit the spot for dessert. They were dense and nutty while the namoura was more sweet compared to the subtle baklava.

You can also grab the Egyptian Bomb ($7) consisting of namoura and baklava crumbled over a serving of rice pudding. It seemed like it would be excessive but was much less sweet than expected.

Putting two emcees — Moon Roc and Laz Green — up front and on top of the band’s organic bed to play lyrical ping pong only adds to the hook and the band’s energetic flow. Hard to resist. Funknut, Joe Driscoll, and Level 7 will also play the Roots Collider Annual Halloween Party.

the 25th anniversary of Peter Gabriel’s album “Security” than of the man himself, Security Project — featuring drummer Jerry Marotta (known for employing three differently tuned snare drums) and bassist, WARR guitar, and Chapman Stick performer Trey Gunn (King Crimson) — takes on the spirit set forth by Gabriel’s penchant for exploring the unheard without relying on the absurd. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

“Power, Grace, and Glory” FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28 HOCHSTEIN PERFORMANCE HALL, 50 NORTH PLYMOUTH AVENUE 7:30 P.M. | $25 | 473-2234; ROSSINGS.ORG [ CLASSICAL ] The Rochester Oratorio Society will open its 71st season with an interesting program of works by Leonard Bernstein, Mozart, and J.S. Bach. The concert will begin with Bernstein’s “Chichester Psalms,” a 1965 work that moves through several psalms, sung in Hebrew, and includes King David’s well-known Psalm 23. The program’s second piece, Mozart’s Concerto for Flute and Harp, will feature flutist Rebecca Gilbert and harpist Grace Wong — both are principals with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. The noble “Gloria” movement from Bach’s Mass in B Minor will close the program, with soloists Katie Hannigan, mezzo-soprano; tenor Joshua Bouillon; and bass-baritone Keith Brown.

Heather Taylor’s “House of Healing” opens like summer’s dawn with a dramatic, flashy flute flourish that hands off the baton to the woman’s mighty voice.

It’s a voice that is full of smoky tone and magnetic, hypnotic vibrato. There’s just something fascinating about a voice like this that seems reserved, in deference and reverence to the song when it’s obvious the voice is holding back in volume but not in its honesty and intensity.

Taylor is the epitome of this, especially on her new seven-cut send-up. The way she works her way through the tracks is a study in the space between the cracks, the unsaid, and the unheard. It’s a tease; it’s tenacious and somewhat tantric. Refined enough to be beautiful, yet kept raw to remain believable. “House of Healing” hits you on so many levels like whispering thunder. The album demands multiple listens to fully realize and appreciate the power in Taylor’s songs and the subtly of her soul. It’s a lullaby with something to say … and hear.

There’s a slight difference in how we enjoy hometown homeboys Grand Canyon Rescue Episode and how the Rochester quintet is actually playing. You’d think this band is easy going with its countrified barroom rock ‘n’ roll lope. But I’m here to tell you, beneath this calm veneer is a dusky roots-rock diamond.

The cuts on “Follow,” the band’s third album, are dynamically laid out, ratcheting up the action from the beginning. And there’s some genre jumping going on here as well. There’s the tune “Wheels,” which is reminiscent of Steve Earle (whatever genre you associate him with), to the Cajun pump and swell of “Love You So.” And there’s goose-bump-inducing gospel vocal support, along with some beautiful lap steel sprinkled about.

The band certainly hasn’t abandoned its folksy, bluegrass roots, like with the song “Right Hand,” but cuts like “Dublin Girl” come off earthy with fiddle and tin whistle.

All the while, the band lays it all down on a bed of Bo Diddley bliss — all part of the band’s shift and matriculation and willingness to go where the muse takes it. Be there.

Lita Ford has had a long, successful career in metal during the decades following her time in The Runaways. PHOTO PROVIDED

Built Ford tough Lita Ford WITH MELIA AND ROCK-N-ROLL SOCIAL CLUB SUNDAY, OCTOBER 30 MONTAGE MUSIC HALL, 50 CHESTNUT STREET 7:30 P.M. | $25-$100 | THEMONTAGEMUSICHALL.COM; LITAFORDONLINE.COM [ INTERVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE

Hard rock and metal share a list of infallible constants — things that will always ring true; things that are undeniable. These are mostly unwritten but universally understood in a 12 CITY OCTOBER 26-NOVEMBER 1, 2016

world where the guitar is the hammer of the gods. For instance: volume? In the red.

Drums? Thundering. And another constant, one that has always been there, is heavy rock guitar queen Lita Ford. Ford has always been, and always will be.

It all started once upon a time in 1975 when record impresario Kim Fowley asked a then-16-year-old Ford to join The Runaways — the rock group he was assembling that also included guitarist Joan Jett, singer Cherie Currie, bassist Jackie Fox, and drummer Sandy West. The Runaways was a precursor to bands that would come to blend pop, punk, and metal. Despite growing popularity

and interest, its members were divided on the direction of the band: Ford and West wanted to stick with the metal and hard rock, while Jett and the others wanted to pursue the punk side of the band’s sound.

And with no one willing to compromise, The Runaways split in 1979.

Over the next few decades, Ford stayed heavy, went solo, and has released nine albums, starting with 1983’s “Out for Blood” — the beginning to an impressive discography that was also paused for nearly 10 years while Ford raised two sons. Her biggest hit remains the duet she did with Ozzy Osbourne, “Close My Eyes Forever,” and of course there’s the fan favorite “Kiss Me Deadly.”

Throughout industry changes and personal strife, Ford has endured. She always has … always will. Ford took a break somewhere out on the road to answer some silly questions. Here’s what was said. An edited transcript follows.

CITY: What’s new and exciting in your world? What are you working on?

Lita Ford: We have been on a killer tour

with Halestorm. Also working on a new album with Gary Hoey producing. I would also like to write and produce a major motion film based on a “Sleeping with the Enemy” type theme, using my own music.

After years and years of countless interviews with jaggoff music critics and their stupid questions, is there a question that you wish they’d asked but never did?

Not really. I’m pretty sure most all subjects have been covered.

What is something people don’t get about Lita Ford?

together. Has anything else come of that?

No. We just drop each other a hello text every once in a while.

You show no signs of slowing down. When you started, did it ever occur to you that it would last this long?

There was no doubt that it would last this long. When I first returned, I didn’t know who was in the music industry and didn’t care … I just wanted to be Lita. I am who I am and have developed a path no one else could have carved for others to follow.

Although, I do still feel like I’m leading the band wagon, with many other females behind me climbing their way to the top.

How has “Living Like a Runaway” been received?

Both, the book and the album have been received very well. “Living Like a Runaway,” the book is a tell-most. There are a lot of other books out there that cover the music industry at that time, but I felt my experience was different. I had some unique challenges and adventures that needed to be told. What I don’t say in the book, I want to put into a major motion film. “Living Like a Runaway,” the LP, is a tell-all of what was happening at that point of time.

Is The Runaways something you try to distance yourself from, or do you embrace its significance in rock ’n’ roll history?

It’s a little of both with The Runaways. I don’t need them; it’s not all that I am. I went on to have a good solo career as just Lita Ford. Yet I am proud to have been their lead guitarist, and I am proud to have been a huge part of the very first group of all-girl, teenaged jailbait trouble makers.

I am a guitarist. People will take me as a singer before a guitarist, but it’s the exact opposite. I am a guitarist first, then a singer.

I had to learn how to sing out of necessity.

Guitar playing for me was a gift from God.

What are some of your favorite records?

Over the years, what about your guitar style has changed or evolved?

What are some of your favorite Lita Ford Records?

Your style never really changes. You can add or subtract effects or riffs; learning different riffs is a never ending pleasure about playing guitar. But your style always really remains your style, your vibrato and such, things you play that make your playing yours.

It’s similar to hand writing. Everyone’s is different. Even if you try to duplicate it, you can never really duplicate it 100 percent.

”Living Like a Runaway,” “Lita,” “Stiletto,” “Dangerous Curves.”

Back in 2013, I spoke with Cherie Currie and she said the two of you had just done a Christmas record and had begun working

What do you think of the current state of hard rock?

HARDCORE | SHOW ME THE BODY Inspiring comparisons to everything from Death Grips to Wolf Eyes, New York City’s Show Me the Body is an enigmatic musical force of nature. Its most recent record, this year’s phenomenal “Body War,” pulses with an industrial energy that feels just as appropriate for the gym as it does for a nervous breakdown. Tracks like “Chrome Exposed” and “Aspirin” are gleefully nightmarish, with frontman Julian Cashwan Pratt rapping like the demon-spawn of Ad-Rock and MC Ride over beats that sound like haunted carnival rides. If you’re currently looking for something to soundtrack your Halloween party, or something to play while punching holes through drywall, congratulations, you’ve found it.

Show Me the Body will play with Blake Pattengale and Kind of Kind on Sunday, October 30, at the Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Avenue. 9 p.m. $12-$14. bugjar.com; facebook. com/smtb.official. — BY ALEXANDER JONES Steve Grills & The Roadmasters.

Congress shall make no law “Church and State”

REVIEWED SUNDAY, OCTOBER 23 CONTINUES THROUGH SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 6 JCC CENTERSTAGE, 1200 EDGEWOOD AVENUE 7 P.M. ON THURSDAYS; SATURDAYS AT 8 P.M. (ADDITIONAL 2 P.M. ON NOVEMBER 5); AND SUNDAYS AT 2 P.M. TICKETS START AT $26 | 461-2000; JCCCENTERSTAGE.COM [ REVIEW ] BY LEAH STACY

This weekend, JCC CenterStage opened its 40th season doing what Artistic Director Ralph Meranto does best: producing a new national work, with local actors, for local audiences. Meranto partnered with Emmy-nominated playwright Jason Odell Williams to develop “Church and State” nearly two years ago. The collaboration was based on the success of the duo’s last project, the hit Jewish holiday show “Handle with Care” (which was also developed in partnership with CenterStage in 2012 and later went on to play more than 100 performances Off-Broadway).

In a talkback after Sunday’s matinee, Meranto said that it was the January 2011 shooting of US Representative Gabby Giffords and 18 others in Tucson, Arizona, that initiated the idea for “Church and State.”

The play begins just after a school shooting has taken place in Raleigh, North Carolina, the hometown of Charles Whitmore, a conservative Christian senator. After the funeral for the victims, Whitmore — whose current campaign song is “Jesus is My 16 CITY OCTOBER 26 - NOVEMBER 1, 2016

Running Mate” — makes several newsworthy comments about guns and God to a blogger.

“How could I believe in a God who would let this happen,” he yells. The blogger records the interview, and when the story hits Twitter that afternoon, campaign manager Alex Klein and Whitmore’s wife, Sara, attempt to reason with the senator before his next public speech. With an election just days away, this could be the end of his career.

“Church and State” only calls for four characters: Senator Charles “Charlie” Whitmore (Peter Doyle), his Christian wife, Sara Whitmore (Beth Winslow), his Jewish campaign manager, Alex Klein (Esther Winter), and an ensemble role comprising campaign assistant Tom, blogger Marshall, and a security guard (Matthew Combs). There’s always the risk of a weak link when a theater chooses a show with a small cast, but fortunately that doesn’t happen in this production.

The first several minutes of the show felt a little stiff, but the actors quickly settled into a natural dialogue with one another. Doyle and Winslow used soft Southern accents throughout the show, which thankfully remained consistent rather than distracting.

Doyle, who has more than 40 years of acting experience, sets the tone of the show with his energy and commitment to the portrayal of Whitmore. It’s hard not to believe that Doyle was typecast (he said during the talkback that he’s the very opposite of Whitmore), because he’s so convincing in his speeches and struggle throughout. As his wife, Winslow (who’s a trained improv artist) strikes a balance between devout Southern trophy wife and

wise better half. Her “soft pretzel” scene is easily one of the funniest in the show.

Esther Winter, as the uptight, sarcastic Alex Klein, is the right amount of salty to the Whitmores’ sweet (tea), and portrays a fully three-dimensional character as the ambitious campaign manager who has a softer side. Recent Nazareth College graduate Matthew Combs juggles several smaller roles and manages to distinguish between the naive, eager campaign assistant Tom and the fame-hungry, inquisitive blogger Marshall. Overall, the ensemble gives the kind of shining performance that warranted Sunday’s standing ovation.

The central focus of the set — also designed by Meranto — is a large artistic interpretation of the United States map suspended from the ceiling. Otherwise, each scene takes place in simple “green rooms” of college and convention center auditoriums, consisting of a few metal chairs, a worn leather couch, and a table holding water bottles, sweet tea, and other refreshments. Off to one side of the stage is a flag and a backdrop emblazoned over and over with the candidate’s name. A large screen is also lowered in for several scenes to play nightly news excerpts and political ads (an effective use of technology). Matthew White of 4th Coast Productions created the video elements, which feature local actors Marc D’Amico, Jonathan Ntheketha, and Mary Jayne Waddell as newscasters.

In June 2016, the National New Plays Network announced that “Church and State” would be its 60th rolling world premiere, opening at The Skylight Theatre in Los Angeles that month. The show is currently in readings in New York City and will open Off-Broadway in 2017 — but for now, audiences can only see a full production in Rochester. “Church and State” is one of the most stunningly relevant plays currently onstage, and it’s not because of election season (though that doesn’t hurt). It’s because of human nature, and because there will always be trauma and doubt and redemption.

The show runs 90 minutes with no intermission, and the action begins to move quickly halfway through. A good number of Sunday’s audience remained for the talkback with the cast and director after the matinee — the conversation was Q&A-style as Meranto ran a microphone around the auditorium. “I had forgotten, after watching TV too much, that there are still reasonable people making reasonable arguments,” said one woman in the crowd, her voice shaking with emotion. A silence fell over the auditorium, and then someone said quietly: “Everyone go vote.”

THEATER | “FINDING NEVERLAND” When Scottish novelist and playwright J.M. Barrie met widow Sylvia Llewelyn Davies and her four sons around the turn of the 20th century, he was in a creative slump. Through a friendship with the energetic children and their mother, Barrie found the inspiration to create his most famous set of characters: Peter Pan and the Darlings. The story was brought to life in the 2004 Academy Award-winning film “Finding Neverland,” starring Johnny Depp as Barrie and Kate Winslet as Sylvia Llewelyn Davies. The tale was adapted for the musical stage in 2011 and will be performed this Tuesday through Sunday at RBTL’s Auditorium Theatre. It’s only the third stop in the recently launched regional tour, which opened in Buffalo earlier this month.

“Finding Neverland” is on stage at the Auditorium Theatre, 885 East Main Street, Tuesday, October 25, through Sunday, October 30. 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday; 8 p.m. on Friday; 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Saturday; and 1 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. on Sunday. Patrons can use the code KIDS on Ticketmaster or when calling the box office to donate $5 from every ticket purchased for the Wednesday, October 26, performance to the Golisano Children’s Hospital. General admission tickets begin at $37.50, and student tickets are available for $25 (with valid ID) at the door one hour before showtime, pending availability.

Writers & Books will bring Garth Greenwell (left) and Hannah Tennant-Moore (right) to Rochester for readings and book discussions as part of its Debut Novel Series. PHOTO PROVIDED

Desperately seeking something Debut Novel Series 2016 EVENTS AND AUTHOR VISITS TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, THROUGH FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4 WRITERS & BOOKS, 270 UNIVERSITY AVENUE 473-2590; WAB.ORG [ LITERARTURE ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Writers & Books earlier this year announced its 2016 Debut Novel Series selections, which are “What Belongs to You” by Louisville, Kentucky-native Garth Greenwell, and “Wreck and Order”

by Upstate New York resident Hannah Tennant-Moore. On November 3 and 4, both authors will visit Rochester to partake in a number of joint readings, discussions, and signings.

Each of the works pose a central character living or traveling outside of their native America, bearing witness to the different shapes and shades of the world while in search of something nameless to connect themselves to it.

Greenwell’s “What Belongs to You” is narrated by an American teacher in economically depressed Bulgaria who develops a volatile connection with a young hustler, Mitko, after meeting him in a cruising spot under the National Palace of Culture in Sofia. The book evolved from Greenwell’s 2010 novella, “Mitko.”

Connections that erupt along the edges of an abyss are prone to exploitation, typically on the more vulnerable end of the equation, but often enough on both sides. This is true in Greenwell’s book — 18 CITY OCTOBER 26 - NOVEMBER 1, 2016

although Mitko’s survival is dependent upon his “friends,” and his life is full of instability, he exerts a calculated power over their desire and lust.

But this fact of transaction does not necessarily preclude the possibility for tenderness and compassion, which is a theme that the book grapples with as Mitko’s circumstances take him through increasingly darker spaces, and his beauty and vitality diminish.

The narrator remains nameless and faceless, but scraps of reverie shed light on other parts of him. He methodically pins and poetically dissects every situation and concept. His seemingly preternatural knack for honing in on any subtext, even through language barriers, is a trait arguably born of his experience as a gay youth the American South.

“What Belongs to Us” does the messy, hideous work of trawling the complex depths of human connection and desire. But with such richly precise navigation of that territory, it feels fitting that Greenwell leaves his readers adrift, without a comfortable place to land.

Although its setup is similar to Elizabeth Gilbert’s notoriously feel-good book, “Eat, Pray, Love,” Tennant-Moore’s “Wreck and Order” doesn’t punctuate with a fairytale resolution; it provides a sense of ongoingness of a life journey.

But before that, the story’s young protagonist, Elsie, introduces herself and her intense dissatisfaction with life. An under-stimulating job writing newspaper obituaries and an abusive, dead-end

relationship sends her sprawling to find something more in Sri Lanka.

(Increasingly, former colonies are the new European dalliance for quarter-lifecrisis white girls.)

But Elsie doesn’t derive some magical understanding of the world through backpacking, and bounces.

Tennant-Moore then sees her young anti-heroine, having stumbled upon an advanced level of stable in the form of the clean-cut, responsible Brian, decide to have another go at the unsettled fun of ex-boyfriend Jake.

The story experiences a second start when Elsie is invited back to Sri Lanka by an acquaintance. Inside the home her host, Suriya, readers are slapped with the contrast between Elsie’s feminist freedom to tally orgasms and philosophize every detail of her existence, and the crushing servitude that Sri Lankan women bear with grace.

Elsie’s biggest struggle is with emptiness — a problem of which she’s perfectly aware. After an adequate sexual encounter with Jake, she narrates that she “looked at the ceiling, immobilized by satisfaction, a state that can feel a lot like despair.” But at the same time, she declares hollowsounding affirmations of feeling good and feeling love, as if trying to convince herself rather than living the reality. Near the story’s closing, Elsie states that she’s unwilling to share the most transformative parts of her journey, which more than hints they have yet to transpire.

Events related to the literary selections kick off on Tuesday, November 1, 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., with a discussion at Writers & Books moderated by Rochester Reads and Debut Novel Series Coordinator Karen vanMeenen.

On Thursday, November 3, Greenwell and Tennant-Moore will read passages from their novels during an on-air callin at 1 p.m. on Connections with Evan Dawson, WXXI Radio 1370 AM. On Friday, November 4, both authors will give a free public reading, paneldiscussion, and book signing at 1 p.m. at Nazareth College. Also on Friday, from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., they will offer a second reading, panel-discussion, and signing, followed by a discussion on the publishing process, at Writers & Books, for $12 ($10 members).

The novels are available for purchase at Writers & Books now. For a full schedule and more information, visit wab.org.

[ INTRODUCTION ] BY JAKE CLAPP

Rochester took it to the mat.

Over the last two months, CITY Newspaper’s Best of Rochester readers’ poll has asked for your opinion: What are the best people, places, and things in Rochester? We set the poll at 100 categories — down from almost 140 in previous years — and let you make the call. More than 12,000 people took this year’s final readers’ poll.

Each week, CITY tells you what we think about the Flower City, and this is a chance for you to add your voice to the conversation. But we hope that discussion doesn’t stop with this special issue. Rochester is a big city waiting to be explored, and sitting right here is a guide to close to 400 recommendations — for everything from the best Mediterranean restaurants to the best places to get tattooed — offered up by your fellow Rochesterians.

In the first round of this Best of Rochester poll, we asked what "it" is in this city that makes you excited, and to give a nomination in our open primary. Then, in our final round, we hoped that you would take some time to explore and consider the suggestions in the final four before casting your final vote and awarding the title belt.

Hold on to this issue. Pull it out when you’re looking for a new restaurant for date night; or use it during the summer when you want to soak up some sun during an outdoor festival. We are all guilty of sticking to our favorites, but we hope you’ll find something in these results that might make you want to try something new.

In addition to the Reader' poll, this Best of issue also contains a collection of our readers’ funnier answers to the Primary Ballot as well as our annual Critics’ Picks. This year, Frank De Blase, Dave Budgar, Katie Libby, Tim Macaluso, Jeremy Moule,

Rebecca Rafferty, David Raymond, and Leah Stacy share their opinions.

If you would like to sound off on our readers’ poll, have a good idea for a category, or have any feedback at all, comment on this article at rochestercitynewspaper.com, email us at themail@rochester-citynews.com, or find us on Twitter (@roccitynews) and Facebook (facebook.com/CityNewspaper).

DESIGN BY RYAN WILLIAMSON // ILLUSTRATIONS BY JUSTYN IANNUCCI // PHOTOGRAPHS BY MARK CHAMBERLIN // MODEL: MATT ROBERTS

Our process CITY’s annual Best of Rochester poll is a readers’ poll, meaning all of the finalists, and the winners, were chosen solely by our readers. CITY Newspaper operates only as a tabulator and gatekeeper.

The open primary ballot, which is refined every year based on editorial recommendations and reader suggestions in order to improve the survey, opened Wednesday, August 24, and ran through Friday, September 16. Survey-takers then

wrote in whatever people, places, and things they thought were the best in each of the 100 categories.

A team of CITY employees then got together in a marathon, 7-hour session to go through and count the literally thousands of responses to find the top four — or more, on occasion, if a tie occurs — most-nominated in each category. We disqualify votes only if they’re for a chain not headquartered in Rochester, don’t fit

the category, or are clearly the result of ballot stuffing.

The Final 4 were then put on the final ballot, which ran Wednesday, September 21, through Friday, October 14, readers voted, and the winners were kept secret until this Best of Rochester issue.

Have any questions about how we conduct our Best of Rochester poll? Feel free to email us at themail@rochestercitynews.com.

Best way for worlds to collide

Rochester’s literary translation scene The moving parts of Rochester’s thriving niche literary translation scene have, until now, operated fairly independently of one another. Since 2007, Open Letter Books has worked with an international network of translators to publish 10 translated works of fiction and poetry per year, affording contemporary writers in foreign markets the opportunity to expand their audience to English readers. Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, BOA Editions publishes translated poetry through its Lannan Translation Series. And recently, Writers & Books has joined the party, not through publishing, but by bringing the three lit organizations together through its

new “Read Local” program.

The common denominator is Kyle Semmel, a literary translator who took the helm at Writers & Books when Joh Flaherty retired earlier this year. In late September, Writers & Books and Open Letter co-hosted Danish writer Josefine Klougart, author of “One of Us Is Sleeping,” which was published in English

by Open Letter this year. Not every event in the series will feature translation: the next event will be held December 3 and feature BOA’s publication “the black maria” by California-based poet Aracelis Girmay.

Fans of completely avoidable, totally unnecessary political fights got a treat earlier this year after Governor Andrew Cuomo appointed former Irondequoit supervisor Adam Bello to fill the vacant county clerk seat.

The squabble in question, of course, is the I-Square-COMIDA controversy.

And if you can’t remember how, exactly, it went down, it’s OK; politicians’ stories changed, almost by the second.

The whole thing happened because county Republican chair Bill Reilich

decided to lump in a popular Irondequoit development, I-Square, with a routine attempt to smear Bello, a Democrat. I-Square’s owners and their supporters punched back, a highranking county official lost his job, several members of the county industrial development agency’s board resigned in protest, County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo body-checked the American flag -- you know, the usual.

The mud Reilich slung ended up on his own face. — BY JEREMY MOULE

Best pathetic PokeStop

“Pillars and Archway over Garbage Can” For a good month or two, the sidewalks in some Rochester neighborhoods were filled with people staring at their phones, trying to catch Jigglypuffs and Evees and Snorlaxes. I admit, without any shame, that I was one of the many who got sucked into Pokémon GO. The game encourages a lot of people to discover new things in their communities, and it drew my attention to little things around the city that, normally, I pass by without much thought. But sometimes, the app picks points of interest that are, shall we say, off. None of them tops “Pillars and Archway over Garbage Can.” The PokeStop hardly matches its ultradignified backdrop: it is located right in front of the county’s Ebenezer Watts building, which houses the District Attorney’s Office.

26 CITY BEST OF ROCHESTER 2016

Pokémon GO ultimately demands more attention than I’m willing to give it, so our time together is drawing to an end. But “Pillars and Archway over Garbage Can” is a lasting memory.

Best interminable road project

North Winton Road Construction on the stretch of North Winton Road from Blossom Road to Atlantic Avenue is coming to an end, and for those of us who use that piece of roadway nearly every day, it can’t happen soon enough.

Crews have been working on North Winton for months, leaving it more suitable for all-terrain vehicles ala Mad Max than your basic Buick. But new

sidewalks have begun to appear and a portion of Winton, with its cut granite curbs and fresh black pavement, looks like a freshly pressed tuxedo.

There’s something special about driving on a new road; it’s like opening a new book and feeling the smooth pages between your fingers. Both promise to take you somewhere.

Best place to find peace and tranquility

Hemlock and Canadice lakes We are fortunate to live among the beauty of the Finger Lakes, and even more privileged to live so close to the region’s crown jewels, the twin Hemlock and Canadice lakes – now connected for hikers by the newly developed 4.5-mile Rob’s Trail. With their steep, forested shorelines guarding deep, clear water, the lakes give us a glimpse of the past, when all of the Finger Lakes were wild and pristine.

These two lakes, within the 6,849-acre Hemlock-Canadice State Forest, have provided drinking water for the City of Rochester for over 100 years. The shorelines are undeveloped, and the only watercraft permitted are kayaks,

canoes, and small boats with less than 10-horsepower motors.

To spend a few hours on either of these placid bodies of water is to enter a private Shangri-La, penetrated only by sunlight (or moonlight), your thoughts, and the sounds of the breezes and resident kingfishers, herons, ospreys, bald eagles, and myriad woodpeckers and songbirds.

Best under-considered activist

Emma Goldman

Rochester’s history is rife with audacious activism and (now) celebrated social movements. But while suffragist Susan B. Anthony and abolitionist Frederick Douglass spent parts of their lives in Rochester, are buried here, and are lovingly commemorated, the sometime Rochester resident, feminist, and anarchist Emma Goldman isn’t as widely remembered. In 1885, the Lithuanianborn immigrant came stateside, fleeing European antisemitism — as well as the marriage her father was forcing upon her at age 15. The next year, Goldman landed in Rochester, where she read about national labor movements and riots, and refined her anti-authoritarian principles while she toiled long hours 30 CITY BEST OF ROCHESTER 2016

as a seamstress and suffered harassment and abuse.

After three years, Goldman’s path led her elsewhere, and she was occasionally imprisoned for “inciting to riot” through her speeches and illegally distributing information about birth control. In 1906, she founded the anarchist journal “Mother Earth,” which had a monthly, nation-wide distribution despite being targeted by the Espionage Act. Before she was deported for her political activities, she spoke in favor of women’s emancipation, and encouraged disobedience of government laws on conscription as the country entered World War I. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

WOMEN LEADERS

The issue of theater’s gender gap has been popping up more and more in national conversation. Men in theater — particularly theatrical directors, administrators, and playwrights — often outnumber women by a two to one ratio.

Simply put: there are far more males in theater leadership roles, and equality is being demanded. In late September, New York City announced a groundbreaking $5 million dollar municipal program targeted to promote film and theater by, for, and about women. But what about all the theater cities that aren’t New York?

Here in Rochester, many local companies (as well as the regional Geva Theatre Center, which often casts and hires out-of-towners) are making deliberate decisions to incorporate more (off-stage)

THEATER | “MURDER WEAPON” “Murder Weapon” — the last published play by English screenwriter Brain Clemens, well-known for the TV series “The Avengers” — opens where any good mystery thriller should: at the scene of the crime. When Jessica Bligh, a chief constable, accompanies her friend, Diane, home one night after an opera, the two find a grisly scene.

Diane’s husband, Paul, has been shot dead, and Charley, an ex-convict, is standing over him holding the gun.

But, of course, it’s never an open-and-shut case. With dark comedy, Bligh sets out to unravel the strange case.

Penfield Players will present “Murder Weapon” beginning Friday, October 28. Directed by Jerry Argetsinger.

“Murder Weapon” plays Friday, October 28, through Saturday, November 12, at the Penfield Community Center, 1985 Baird Road. Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m.; and 2 p.m. on Sunday, November 6. $12 advance; $15 door.

DANCE | “AILEY II”

RECREATION | QUIDDITCH REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Started in 1974 as the Alvin Ailey Repertory Ensemble, the internationally renowned dance company Ailey II is performing at Nazareth College as part of the company’s 2016-17 world tour. The 12-member ensemble last performed at Nazareth 15 years ago, and is returning under the artistic direction of Troy Powell. Ailey II will perform both signature pieces, like “Revelations,” as well as newer productions by choreographers Jamar Roberts, Jean Emile, and Ray Mercer.

Quidditch — yes, the non-magical adaptation of the high-flying “Harry Potter” sport — teams from seven Northeastern states are coming together in Rochester to fight for their shot at playing in the US Quidditch Cup. Teams from Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont will play in the co-ed contact sport, which combines elements of tag, rugby, and dodgeball — all while hanging on to their broomstick. The gold and silver medalists of the US Quidditch Cup 9 competition back in April 2016, will be battling again in the Northeastern competition, making this a close competition.

imagination. With Halloween mere days away, “Ouija: Origin of Evil” makes for a fantastic way (PG-13), DIRECTED BY MIKE FLANAGAN to get into the spirit of things.

NOW PLAYING The film is set in 1967 Los Angeles, where a [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW widowed mother, Alice (Elizabeth Reaser), runs a medium business out of her suburban home, “Ouija: Origin of Evil” isn’t the type of movie that performing séances and offering mystical guidance inspires much confidence of quality: the prequel to to bereaved customers. Her two daughters, teenager a critically reviled, low-budget horror movie (that’d Lina (Annalise Basso) and 9-year-old Doris (Lulu be 2014’s “Ouija”) based on a Hasbro board game Wilson), give her behind-the-scenes assistance. is not the most promising of pedigrees. But if there’s Early on, her youngest expresses some doubt ever definitive proof of how much a skilled director over the ethics of their family business, but Alice can bring to the right material, this is it. is quick to reassure her daughter that they’re not Filmmaker Mike Flanagan (“Oculus” and the scamming innocent people. They’re doing good, nifty home-invasion thriller, “Hush,” which you using their skills to offer their customers comfort can — and should — currently find streaming and help them find some closure. Sometimes it just on Netflix) delivers a legitimately creepy takes a little extra showmanship to help them accept horror flick that’s dripping with wit, style, and things. Besides, Alice desperately needs the money to support the family.

When Lina suggests her mother liven up the act with a newfangled Ouija spirit board that’s caught on with her friends, Alice decides to give it a go. But when trying out the new prop, she inadvertently taps into something truly supernatural and evil (the “Ouija” films remain an odd Lulu Wilson spies something sinister in “Ouija: Origin of Evil.” product tie-in — PHOTO COURTESY UNIVERSAL PICTURES

these stories are unlikely to convince someone that bringing the game into their home is a smart idea). A malevolent spirit seems to grab a hold of Doris, and it doesn’t seem intent on letting go without a fight.

Like James Wan with “The Conjuring,” Flanagan doesn’t seek to reinvent the genre with “Ouija: Origin of Evil,” he seems more interested in giving audiences a sterling example of its possibilities. The amount of craft displayed in every frame of the film is a joy to discover — the pleasure is truly in the details. The production design from Patricio M. Farrell and costumes by Lynn Falconer are spot on, and the film is filled with inventive period details, not just in the design and look of the film, but in its presentation as well.

The film opens with retro studio logos and an old-fashioned title card, complete with copyright date. Flanagan incorporates some De Palma-esque split diopter shots (where objects in both the extreme foreground and extreme background are simultaneously in focus), and even adds in “cigarette burns” to the corners of certain frames to signal the projectionist of a reel change (if there were still reels to change — everything is projected digitally in multiplexes these days).

Unlike something like “Grindhouse,” which employed similar vintage filmmaking techniques as winky parody, here those little touches never call attention to themselves. If you’re not looking for them, they’d be easy to miss. But utilized this way, they add to the film’s authenticity and immersive quality, and the soft, slight cinematography by Michael Fimognari completes the effect.

The performers are given real characters to play, thanks to a strong screenplay from Flanagan and

Jeff Howard. All three of the lead actresses deliver empathetic performances, so we truly feel concern when terrible things start to happen to them. Lulu Wilson’s performance is particularly impressive; she doesn’t fall into the horror genre’s typical “creepy children” problem, where in order to find a kid who can appear suitably creepy, filmmakers sometimes get stuck with one who’s never quite convincing when asked to appear normal. Wilson’s transformation from cherubic, sweet-natured little girl to instrument of death is completely convincing. And terrifying.

Henry Thomas offers excellent support as Father Tom, the parochial school principal who takes an interest in the girls’ well-being after he notices Doris’s increasingly odd behavior.

Based on its trailer, I’d been worried about the amount of computer-generated effects used in the film. CGI is frequently a death knell for the fright potential in horror films: whatever tension has been built up almost always dissipates once directors decide they have to show their monsters, often through unconvincing CGI. Thankfully Flanagan chooses to use these effects sparingly, more often letting veteran creature actor Doug Jones portray the entities.

These less showy decisions are typical of Flanagan’s directorial restraint. “Ouija: Origin of Evil” is relatively bloodless, even with its PG-13 rating, the film could clearly have gotten away with more if it wanted to.

But Flanagan is extremely conscious of what he’s showing us, choosing to leave most of the action to our imagination, trusting that our minds are capable of scaring us far more easily than pixels.

Find your way home with

236 Ravenwood Avenue When buying a home in the 19th Ward, you are also buying the neighborhood of friendly, busy families. It is easy to become involved with the many activities sponsored by the 19th Ward Community Association: the Square Fair in June; the Luminaries on Martin Luther King Day in January; the Candle Light Dinners in February; the Arnett Boulevard Block Party in July; the summertime Farmers’ Market on Genesee Street. The Arnett Branch of the Rochester Public Library and the Thurston Road Family YMCA also offer a wide range of programs for all ages. You can read the evening paper and greet your neighbors while sitting on the comfortable front porch. The canopy of trees over the street provides shade in hot weather, and is a blaze of colors in the fall.

Typical of the well-tended homes in the neighborhood, the home at 236 Ravenwood Avenue is filled with attractive touches that add sparkle and warmth to everyday living. The beveled-glass front door is preparation for the abundance of leaded and beveled glass windows in the living and dining rooms. The vestibule has the original tile floor and features a convenient coat closet. The living room is enhanced by a symmetrical front window arrangement and an arched entrance to the stairway upstairs.

A wide, woodwork framed open doorway leads into the dining room. A coffered ceiling with a distinctive pattern adds a touch of elegance. An old fashioned pantry, with glass doors on the cabinets, leads to the kitchen.

Upstairs there are three sun-lit bedrooms, a full bath, and a sleeping porch with wide windows to let in the summer breezes. The third floor, with one room framed in, provides ample storage space. The entire area could easily be turned into a home office. The washer and dryer are located in the dry basement; there is already a sturdy workbench ready for do-it-yourself projects. The yard is fully fenced and has a detached garage. The house roof was replaced in 2013.

The University of Rochester, Brooks Landing, RIT, and Collegetown are all nearby. Best of all, this home is eligible for a University of Rochester Employee Housing Grant! If you are a University of Rochester employee, you can receive a grant up to $9,000 towards your closing costs if you purchase this home.

The 1,309 square foot home, built in 1920, is listed at $69,000. Kitchen and laundry appliances are included in the price.

For more information or to schedule an appointment to see the house, contact Anthony DiPietro with Keller Williams Realty at 585-756-3106 or tonydp@kw.com. You are cordially invited to an open-house, with cider and doughnuts, on Sunday October 30 from 11 am to 1 pm.

by Mitzie Collins Mitzie, a resident of the 19th ward since 1970, has a special appreciation for her neighbors and her neighborhood.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD

Pot for Pets

As nine states next month ask voters to approve some form of legalization of marijuana, a “new customer base” for the product — pets — was highlighted in an October New York Times report. Dogs and cats are struck with maladies similar to those that humans report in cannabis success stories: seizures, inflammation, anxiety, arthritis, and other pain, and subsequent social withdrawals.

The “high”-producing THC element cannot be used because it is notoriously toxic to dogs, but other elements in the drug seem to work well not only for dogs and cats but, by anecdotal evidence, pigs, horses, and domesticated wild animals.

Compelling Explanations

In September, Charles Lawrence III, 60, was sentenced to eight years in prison for attempted sexual assault despite his claim that it was just bad eyesight that caused the problem. He had arrived at a house in Fairfield, Connecticut, to have sex with a male he had met online, but the event turned out to be a “To Catch a Predator” sting. Lawrence, an accountant, claimed that, in text messages with the “boy,” he had seen “18” as his age, when, according to police evidence, the text read “13.” (Bonus: Lawrence knew “Predator” newsman Chris Hansen socially and commuted daily on the

train with him, according to Lawrence’s lawyer.)

A 23-year-old woman on a bus in Istanbul, Turkey, was attacked by Abdullah Cakiroglu, 35, in September because, as he told police, he had become “aroused” by her wearing shorts. (Initially, he was not arrested, but after a protest on social media, police came to get him — though for “inciting,” not assault.)

He told police, “I lost myself” because the woman had “disregarded the values of our country,” and “my spiritual side took over, and I kicked her in the face.”

Government in Action

Kevin and Tammy Jones opened their guns-and-coffee store in an old bank building in Hamilton, Virginia, in August, but despite the controversies about the ease of gun acquisition in America, their Bullets and Beans shop has had a harder time pleasing government regulators over the coffee than over the firearms. Kevin told Washingtonian magazine that there were no problems in getting gun-shop and firearms-instruction permits from state and federal agencies, but several local-government roadblocks delayed the coffee-sales permit: the property being zoned for “retail” but not food or drinks; permission to open certain businesses near residences; and a coffee shop’s need to have “parking.”

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 50 ] [ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take your time and get to know anyone making advances. The possibility of someone exaggerating about who he or she is or what he or she has to offer is real.

Put more time into personal improvements and enjoying your own company instead of being overwhelmed by someone else’s fictitious adaptation of self.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t let love cost you. No matter how much you want to impress someone, if you have to pay, it’s not worth it.

Step down and stop vying for the attention of someone who isn’t worthy of your kindness, generosity or

love. Stop chasing love; let it come to you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Indulgent people are best avoided. Let your intuition help you pick and choose who is worthy of your time.

Refuse to be a follower in order to fit into a category that will make you eligible for something you will not want in the end.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Let your words, wisdom and mysterious traits lead you into new and exciting relationships with people who are into the same things you are.

Attending events or taking part in activities you enjoy is a good place to look for true love. Choose mind over body.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your whimsical, flirtatious persona will ensure that you are the life of any party you attend.

However, don’t oversell what you have to offer, or the crowd you attract will dwindle quickly. Keep in mind that your actions, not your words, will attract someone special.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Do your due diligence when screening potential romantic partners. There is nothing wrong with taking a practical approach to love. The findings you gather will make it easy to choose who is best suited to fit into your lifestyle.

Join a matchmaking site, and you’ll have your choice.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Get out, have fun and flirt your way into someone’s heart. Your outgoing nature coupled with your great personal presentation will attract partners who you’ll be proud to have by your side. Don’t be surprised if you have a change of heart in a moment of fickleness.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Quickly size up any social setting you get into, and set your sights on the person you feel most attracted to. Use your intelligent magnetism to monopolize his or her time, and the rest will be history.

Enjoy your good fortune and the rush of love.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): You’ll exude a passionate and lascivious persona, making it easy for you to attract all sorts of love interest. Don’t opt for the first person to chat you up. You are likely to kiss a lot of toads before you meet the partner who has the perfect lips for you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Keep your head screwed on straight when it comes to affairs of the heart, or someone is likely to feed you a line and lure you in with big talk and unlikely promises.

Let intelligence motivate you to someone’s side. If you agree on key issues, you can build a bright future.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll have plenty of opportunity to fall in love, but the person who grabs your attention is likely to give you a false impression. Before you decide to get involved in a physical relationship, take the time to find out more about your heartthrob’s family history and dreams, hopes and wishes.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): When love is built on honesty, trust and common goals, it can be a beautiful thing.

Don’t be afraid to share what you think and want. It will save you a lot of time when looking for the right partner.

Trying to be what someone else wants rarely works.
