The deliberations about establishing a military academy in the Rochester school district are taking place within a national mindset that glorifies everything military, deserving or not.

The military’s own multibillion-dollar advertising campaigns, such as the one paying millions to the NFL to publicly glorify soldiers at football games, fuel this mindset, so the US military can still claim to be the finest fighting force in the world, despite its latest string of ignominious failures from Iraq to Afghanistan to Syria.

And the military remains an exemplar of discipline and character, despite a sordid record of civilian atrocities, hospital bombings, drone massacres, pervasive rape, and other unchecked violence and misbehavior.

And the military still exemplifies leadership, despite recent accounts by former generals that chronicle a culture of mediocrity, cover-up, and ineptitude throughout the higher levels of military command. As for effective training, the general in charge of a $500 million Pentagon program designed to train 5,000 Syrian rebels conceded in startling Congressional testimony to have trained, after a full year, only “four or five.”

Given this broader confounding context, it’s all the more critical, as members of the appointed

commission and the school board consider claims about the value of military education, training, and leadership in public schools, to look beyond the crisp uniforms and demand hard data: reviewing the available evidence carefully.

They might start with findings from a recent study of Chicago’s public military schools and JROTC programs, the most numerous in the country: These programs are most frequently offered to, and accepted by, low-income communities of color, with the least schooling resources available.

If your only choices are a neighborhood school in need of repair or a new military academy, parents will often choose the more resourced school.

Military-themed schools are portrayed as essential because of stereotypes that urban youth of color are undisciplined, unruly, and need to be controlled.

JROTC instructors are paid substantially more than certified teachers and are afforded special treatment in class size and instructional resources.

Discipline in these militarized programs is constructed through the development of a rigid masculinity, both misogynist and homophobic.

The Department of Defense compensates the school district for only 40 percent of the cost of these military programs.

There is much for decision makers to consider in all this.

They might also reflect on one schoolmaster’s published response to the very first proposal for JROTC in the public schools back in 1916, exactly a century ago, just in time for the horrors of World War I: “If American boys lack discipline, let us supply it, but not through a system whose aim is human slaughter.”

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

FBI vs. Apple case isn’t just about one iPhone Words have a lot of power. And since the September 11 attacks, one of the most power-packed words for Americans has been “terrorism.” All anybody in government has to do is say that word, and we’re ready to put our skepticism and, sometimes common sense, in a drawer and close it.

I don’t mean to be flippant; while some politicians like to exaggerate terrorism’s threat, it would be naïve and irresponsible to deny that the country needs to be vigilant. And we tend to give government officials the benefit of the doubt when they say they need to do something to protect us – especially when that something is a “just this once” action related to someone who shot up a social-services center, killing 14 people, wounding 21 others, and surely traumatizing everybody else in the area.

And so we have the conflict between the FBI and Apple. The FBI wants to know whom Syed Rizwan Farook was in contact with on his iPhone in the hours before his San Bernardino attack.

That information is still on Farook’s cellphone, and the phone is in the FBI’s possession. But thanks to the encryption that Apple builds into its iPhones, the FBI can’t access it. Nobody can. Not even Apple.

Apple could create something that would let the FBI get past the encryption, but it’s refusing to. The company believes it’s “too dangerous” to do it.

“The only way to guarantee that such a powerful tool isn’t abused and doesn’t fall into the wrong hands is to never create it,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a letter to Apple customers.

Despite the government’s insistence, this issue won’t be limited to this one request for this one phone this one time. “Once created,” Cook wrote, “the technique could be used over and over again, on any number of devices.

In the physical world, it would be the equivalent of a master key, capable of opening hundreds of millions of locks – from restaurants and banks to stores and homes. No reasonable person would find that acceptable.”

And if the government is able to require Apple to create something that will unlock this specific iPhone, that will set a dangerous precedent.

“For starters,” writes Timothy Lee on Vox, “although the hassle involved in complying with the FBI’s request is considerable, once Apple engineers

If the FBI prevails, “Apple can be forced to make the data on any iPhone available to any lawenforcement agency that demands it.”

have done the necessary work of creating the custom software it will be much easier to comply with other law enforcement requests for the same service. Today’s extraordinary request for an extraordinary suspect, in other words, could be tomorrow’s routine request.”

If the FBI prevails in this case, writes the Wall Street Journal’s technology columnist, Christopher Mims, “Apple can be forced to make the data on any iPhone available to any law-enforcement agency that demands it.”

In fact, the Farook iPhone isn’t the only one Apple has been asked to provide access to. ABC News reports that Apple “has received at least 15 court orders compelling the company to assist in extracting data from an iPhone over the past five months.”

And Julian Sanchez, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, adds this, on the online forum Just Security: “The Manhattan DA’s office alone has at least 175 iPhones that they’d like Apple to help them break into, and DOJ itself [the Department of Justice] has 12 other ongoing lawsuits seeking access to iPhones.”

Republicans return funds

The Monroe County Republican Party wrote the county a $90,400 check to cover contributions the party received that might be tied to a corruption case. The party and former County Executive Maggie Brooks received donations from Daniel Lynch, who pleaded guilty to theft and bid-rigging charges related to county-linked local development corporations.

Brooks has also said she’s looking into ways to offload Lynch’s contributions.

REFUGEES | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Refugees welcome

Student achievement worsens

Pasted on the front door of Park Ave. Pets on Monroe Avenue is a small sticker with a simple line drawing of a family of four with luggage. Underneath them it says, “Refugees Welcome.”

The number of low-performing Rochester schools has grown significantly, according to the State Education Department. The department reported that last year, the Rochester school district had 14 “priority” schools, those that are among the lowest performing in the state.

That number increased this year to 28 schools.

The district did have 10 schools that improved.

Parrinello charge dropped

A charge against wellknown Rochester attorney John Parrinello was dropped because a witness stopped cooperating.

Parrinello was charged with allegedly soliciting a prostitute in a Gates motel last year.

Lisa Jacques, owner of Park Ave. Pets, hopes the pro-refugee sticker campaign takes off in Rochester.

PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLIN

Lisa Jacques, the longtime owner of the store, says that a friend e-mailed her an article about the storefront sticker campaign, which began in response to the recent bout of antirefugee sentiment expressed by many politicians and media personalities.

Jacques contacted www. burlesquedesign.com/products/ refugees-welcome-sticker-set to get some of the stickers and then sent out an e-mail to about 400 of her friends and associates to let them know about the campaign. Proceeds from the stickers are donated to the UN Refugee Agency.

“Everyone here is from somewhere else unless you’re an American Indian,” Jacques says. “And most of us arrived during hard times.”

The campaign was started by Veda Partalo and Mike Davis. Partalo, who works in advertising, arrived in the US about 20 years ago as a refugee from Bosnia. Davis is one of the owners of

the Minneapolis-based design firm, Burlesque of North America.

In an interview with the Gradient’s Haley Ryan, Partalo described how difficult it was during her first few years living in Minnesota. Some people were generous and kind, she said, while others were unimaginably harsh.

“It was in that moment that I realized something very essential: My family’s ability to integrate into American society had everything to do with how we were received upon our arrival,” she said. The more welcomed her family felt, she said, the easier it was for them to assimilate and contribute.

The BBC recently reported that more than 1 million refugees primarily from Syria, Afghanistan, Kosovo, and Iraq fled their homeland by sea and entered Europe in 2015 alone.

PARKS | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

Skatepark could be homeless again The City of Rochester is soliciting ideas to convert Genesee Crossroads-Charles Carroll Plaza on Andrews Street along the river from a little-used, little-noticed park into a reinvigorated year-round destination. Early ideas include swinging seats, a perennial garden, outdoor exercise equipment, lighting features, and performance space.

The plans mostly likely do not, however, include a skatepark. The plaza was the second site eyed for a city skatepark; the first was under the Douglass-Anthony Bridge. And the park’s chief advocate is frustrated nearly to the point of exasperation.

James Maddison, president of Friends of the Roc City Skatepark, tells of what he says is a nine-year tangle with City Hall filled with confusion, equivocation, passing the buck, and failure to give the group a straight answer.

“I’m just trying to make the community a better place,” he says. “Why do I got to get treated like this?”

But the city says that the group was never promised a skatepark and that the key component is whether the surrounding businesses and organizations would be OK with it. Maddison says

that his group was told by an

official that key people in City Hall and businesses in the area do not support a skatepark at the Crossroads site.

McIntosh says that the skatepark group and the city are meeting to consider a handful of new locations.

Rochester City Council announced during its meeting last week that it would create a working group to study the proposed Erie Harbor Promenade and surrounding public property. The promenade, along with plans for an apartment complex at Court Street and South Avenue, have caused public concern because it would seal off the east entrance to the abandoned subway, a space historically noteworthy and important for local and visiting artists.

The Council also voted unanimously to move forward with allocating $250,000 to Bergmann Associates for additional design services related to the promenade and the Johnson Seymour Race Mill. Council member Matt Haag recommended before the vote that though the Council would move forward with the funding for designs, they would put all plans on the table until the working group could gather more information.

“There have been many studies done over the years regarding the canal, the subway bed, and our riverfront, and that information needs to be taken into account,” Haag says. “I do believe it will be beneficial to have a focused conversation about how we can best achieve moving our community forward while honoring our past and promoting our uniqueness.”

Art Minor, owner of Craft Service on University Avenue, says that he first began coming to the longrunning arts and crafts store that his father started when he was about 10. PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLIN

BUSINESS | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Craft Service ending 80-year run Stepping inside Craft Service is like revisiting a time when family owned businesses, including hardware, stationary, and drug stores, dotted main thoroughfares throughout much of America, before the invasion of big box retailers.

With its handwritten signs, basic shelving, and simple displays, Craft Service, which is at 337 University Avenue in Rochester’s Neighborhood of the Arts, even has that smell of age and serenity.

A sanctuary for the dexterous among us for more than 80 years, Craft Service will close sometime this year. The store opened in 1933.

Owner Art Minor was about 10 when he started coming to his father’s store to help out and to play with all of the fascinating merchandise, some of it specifically aimed toward a child’s creativity.

“My father was very much involved in the Boy Scout movement at the time,” he says. “He carried a lot of the supplies for camping they needed. Scouting was a very big thing.”

The store was actually called Camp Craft Service then. But Americans’ 6 CITY

MARCH 2 - 8, 2016

interest in crafts and hobbies has been somewhat cyclical, Minor says, and driven by cultural changes. The arts and crafts industry, according to some business analysts, was pegged at nearly $30 billion annually in the US in 2010, and is enjoying a bit of resurgence.

Minor has seen more of these cycles than he can count.

“The craft business is a business that keeps evolving,” he says. “In the 1960’s, the macramé business was big. Everybody was into making macramé things. Then ceramics were big. And for a while we were heavy into art supplies.”

Minor says that he tries to stock items requested by customers. And that’s evident just perusing the store’s aisles. There are dozens of cans of spray paint, wooden cutouts of ducks and rabbits, bird feeder kits, glues and pastes, paint-by-number kits of winter scenes and wildlife, model kits for ships and cars, and beads of every shape, size, and color.

But some items are Craft Service staples. For example, materials needed for copper enameling, leather for belts

M ARCH C ELEBRATIONS at and knife sheathes, as well as supplies for Ukrainian egg decorating and chair caning and repair came to be associated with the store.

“Very few people do caning anymore,” Minor says. “Now if the caning breaks through, people put the chair out at the curb. But these things sustained us over the years.”

He also credits the store’s longevity to a certain style of customer service that is less focused on making a quick sale and more on providing customers with information. That includes helping customers select the right tools for the job they want to tackle, Minor says, and talking them through how best to go about it.

“We have people who are in their 20’s to their 70’s and they’ll come in here and spend an hour with us,” Minor says. “Dad always had the philosophy that we’re here to serve people. It’s a business model you don’t see as much of anymore.”

You can make a sale once, Minor says, but good service is what keeps customers coming back. And many of Craft Service’s loyal followers have been coming to him for years, he says. They often show him the work they’ve done, he says, and seek his advice on what to try next.

But Minor says that the store’s volume has steadily declined in recent years, which he attributes to a variety of causes. He concedes, for example, that the store’s interior isn’t as modern as it could be.

There are also varying opinions on how recession-proof the crafts and hobby business is, with some industry observers saying that it is sensitive to downturns, when people have less money to spend.

But the most serious problem by far for Craft Service, Minor says, has been the advent of big box retailers. Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores, Michaels, and Hobby Lobby are all vying for their share of an industry that boasted more than 62 million US customers in 2012.

“I understand if you live in Henrietta it’s much easier to go to one of those places,” Minor says.

He says that he can honestly say that he loved coming to work every day despite the long hours required to run the store.

“It’s not easy for me to let this go,” he says.

$15 minimum wage, paid family leave, ethics reform.

Can Governor Cuomo put it all together?

POLITICS | BY JEREMY MOULE

ew York’s long, colorful history of corruption runs from the patronage mills of Tammany Hall to the string of present-day lawmakers busted for various acts of fraud, bribery, and scheming. So few New Yorkers were shocked late last year when then Assembly member Sheldon Silver and then Senator Dean Skelos were convicted, in separate cases, of fraud and extortion.

The shock came later, when Silver and Skelos, who led their respective chambers before their arrests, were granted their state pensions. The two men had just been found guilty of ripping off taxpayers — though they’re appealing their convictions — and were automatically expelled from their seats, yet they’ll continue getting government checks.

Some legislators have introduced proposals over the years to change the system, but nothing happened. But the

Silver and Skelos scenarios are so galling that the Assembly, Senate, and governor have put pension-stripping legislation at the top of their 2016 to-do list. It’s one of many issues they’ll consider this year.

Governor Andrew Cuomo baked a heavy agenda into his 2016-17 budget plan. Traditionally, the governor’s budget drives the first half of the Legislature session, though the Senate and Assembly move at a glacial pace on some issues and quickly on others. By Albany standards, the next month might as well be a year.

Some of Cuomo’s proposals are easy sells. He wants the Legislature to boost education funding by more than $2 billion, set aside $22 billion for Upstate infrastructure projects, and direct more money to a state environmental fund. Those are all generally popular ideas.

But the budget would also increase the minimum wage to $15 an hour over the next five years, establish paid family leave in New York, and provide too much or not enough funding for charter schools, depending on who’s talking.

Outside of the budget, the governor and some legislators want to pass measures that place stricter financial disclosure requirements on elected officials and top policymakers, place limits on legislators’ outside income, and close a campaign finance loophole.

Much of the information below has been culled from conversations with legislators, local leaders, and advocates, as well as from reports issued by various groups.

Why aren’t politicians stripped of their pensions when they’re convicted of corruption-related crimes? What will it take to make that happen?

Dean Skelos. COURTESY WIKIMEDIA

Sheldon Silver. COURTESY WIKIMEDIA 8 CITY

MARCH 2 - 8, 2016

Blame the state’s constitution. It guarantees that anybody who pays into the state employee retirement system will receive some sort of pension, based on their length of service and retirement age. And the way it’s worded, the constitution makes no provision for taking that benefit away when lawmakers are convicted of fraud, bribery, graft, extortion, or other crimes that involve their office or official duties.

Now, this isn’t the case for all New York politicians. State and local public officials who took office after 2011 can be stripped of some or all of their pensions by a court if they’re convicted of crimes that involve their position.

When legislators wrote that law several years ago, they’ve required any elected official joining the system to agree to the pension-stripping provision.

But public officials elected before 2011 are still shielded by the constitution unless or until the State Legislature amends that document.

The Senate and Assembly each have their own amendment proposals, and the chambers’ leaders are in negotiations. For an amendment to take effect, the Legislature must pass it and voters must approve it one year, and then the Assembly and Senate must pass it again the next year.

Assembly Majority Leader Joe Morelle says that he’s concerned

about the Senate bill because of how it’s structured. The Assembly proposal puts all of its provisions into the constitution, Morelle says.

But the Senate’s amendment relies on a separate state law, as well as the constitution, to determine whose pension can be severed.

“Constitutional provisions are supposed to be, in the hierarchy, much harder to change,” Morelle says.

“And so what we’ve said repeatedly to the governor and to the Senate is we want much more specificity in the amendment itself.”

What other ethics measures are legislators talking about?

New York’s legislators are part time and are allowed to have other jobs and income. Approximately 40 percent of legislators earn money outside of their elected office, according to a December report from Common Cause New York.

Some legislators and good government groups, including Common Cause, have longstanding concerns that those jobs and earnings can lead to unacknowledged conflicts of interest or abuses of power.

Former Assembly Speaker Silver’s case justified some of those fears. During the trial, prosecutors explained how Silver used his influence to direct funding to a doctor and to advance legislation that a developer wanted. The doctor and developer then directed business to a firm that employed Silver and another that split fees with him, according to the New York Times.

The way to avoid that kind of corruption, says Common Cause, is to pay legislators better and prohibit outside income, which would eliminate any conflict.

Morelle isn’t quite sold on banning all outside income. He says that the type of work a person does is more significant, and that’s what should be reined in. Some jobs will pose a very low conflict of interest risk, he says, no matter how much a legislator earns from the work. But other jobs, such as a lawyer who may appear in front of state agencies, could lead to conflicts of interest when even small amounts of income are involved.

Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan, a Republican, told a Gannett Albany bureau reporter that he doesn’t believe in banning outside income.

Assembly Democrats and Cuomo are also pushing for some specific campaign finance reforms. State election laws

cap the political contributions that any person or company can make in a year, and individuals are allowed to donate far more than corporations.

But wealthy companies have found a way around those limits, which critics call the LLC loophole. The State Board of Elections treats LLC’s as individuals, which allows corporations to use subsidiary LLC’s to contribute larger amounts of money to candidates. A single corporation can also use multiple LLC’s to contribute to campaigns and parties.

Assembly Democrats have passed legislation to close the LLC loophole, which Cuomo also supports. Senate Republicans, who generally resist tightening campaign finance laws, have blocked matching legislation in that chamber in the past.

If the Legislature doesn’t act on a pension-stripping amendment and ethics reform, is a constitutional convention an option?

Every 20 years, at election time, New York voters get to weigh in on the question of whether the state should hold a constitutional convention. The next vote happens in 2017.

A convention would provide an opportunity to amend parts of the constitution, to rewrite sections of it, or to overhaul the whole thing.

The process is a little wonky: If voters decide that the state should have a convention, they’ll then have to elect

delegates, who convene and decide how the constitution should be altered. The last convention was held in 1967, and not much came of it.

The convention could be an opportunity to reform elections and redistricting or to give the state the power to strip pensions from convicted lawmakers. But the state constitution also grants public workers the right to unionize, provides protection to Adirondack parklands, and

requires the state government to provide public assistance to the needy.

Advocacy groups as well as liberals and conservatives have cast conventions as well- intentioned, but with serious potential for unwanted outcomes. Anyone who sees the process as a vehicle for progressive reforms should also be aware, they say, that there’s a risk that important protections could be struck from the constitution.

The governor wants to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. What are the chances of it happening?

If there’s one issue that could bring the Legislature and governor to gridlock this year, it’s the $15 minimum wage.

Cuomo called for it in his January State of the State address, and has aggressively campaigned for it since. Under his proposal, New York’s minimum wage would gradually increase from the current $9 an hour to $15 an hour in 2021.

Legislature Democrats back the increase; the Assembly’s Democratic majority passed a $15 minimum wage bill last year and reintroduced the bill this year. The Senate’s Republican majority opposes the proposal, however, as do statewide business groups.

A standoff seems inevitable, and it’s not clear whether Cuomo, Assembly Democrats, and Senate Republicans are willing to strike a compromise. Cuomo included the wage in his 2016-17 state budget, and disagreement over the proposal could delay the budget’s passage.

At this point, the arguments for and against the wage should be familiar to most. Proponents say that the increase is necessary because too many people are working full-time but aren’t able to support themselves or their families. The government ends up providing public assistance to those workers in many cases, which means that taxpayers essentially subsidize the employer.

“No one should be forced to work a full-time week and not be able to provide for themselves and for their families,” says Democratic Assembly member Harry Bronson.

Because the increase is phased in over five years, he says, businesses will have time to adjust. And the increased purchasing power of minimum-wage workers would help many businesses, he says. An analysis released by Cuomo’s office says that the higher minimum wage would boost pay for 166,398 workers in the Finger Lakes region and would pump an additional $1 billion into the region’s economy.

But Greg Biryla, executive director of the business advocacy group Unshackle Upstate, says that a $15 minimum wage would be “a real burden on the Upstate New York economy,” particularly small employers and the agriculture, nonprofit, and tourism sectors. The businesses he’s spoken to say they’d respond to a $15 minimum wage by increasing prices, relocating, laying off employees, or postponing planned hires, Biryla says.

“The ultimate minimum wage is $0,” he says. “When people lose jobs, it doesn’t matter if other people are making more money if you have a whole new class of people making no money.”

The state would be better served by investing in job training and workforce development programs, he says, which would provide opportunities for people to get betterpaying jobs. It would also help employers who are having trouble filling middle-skills jobs, he says. continues on page 26

tonight, for your vacation. Your location right now and where you’ve been recently.

You don’t have to be a conspiracy theorist to believe that there are many things that government – whether liberal or conservative, federal or local – has no business knowing about you.

Nor is the Apple case a concern only to smartphone users in the US. “Authoritarian regimes around the world are salivating at the prospect of the FBI winning this order,” the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s Nate Cardozo said in a PBS NewsHour interview. “If Apple creates the master key that the FBI has demanded that they create, governments around the world are going to be demanding the same access.”

The issue, says the Wall Street Journal’s Christopher Mims, is “simply this: Do we want our government, and the governments of other countries, to have the ability to compel Apple – or any technology company – to grant access to any of our data they request?”

“Most ominously,” the Cato Institute’s Julian Sanchez wrote in Time magazine, “the effects of a win for the FBI in this case almost certainly won’t be limited to smartphones.”

“Don’t just think of the webcam and microphone on your laptop,” wrote Sanchez, “but voice-control devices like Amazon’s Echo, smart televisions, network routers, wearable computing devices and even Hello Barbie.”

This isn’t a case of getting into one terrorist’s cellphone; it’s “whether technology companies can be conscripted to undermine global trust in our computing devices,” Sanchez warned.

“That’s a staggeringly high price to pay for any investigation.”

And it’s a staggeringly big attack on privacy – an attack, as Tim Cook said in his letter to Apple customers, on “the very freedoms and liberty our government is meant to protect.”

The FBI’s request related to Farook’s cellphone is expected to end up before the Supreme Court. But Apple and other critics say that Congress, not the courts, should define the line between national security and individual privacy.

Given the conservatism of Congress and the national obsession with security, though, I’m not sure that offers much consolation. And can’t you just see what a Donald Trump administration would do on this issue?

Transportation is the subject of lecture

The Community Design Center Rochester will present “Transportation as the Leveler” at 7 p.m. on Thursday, March 10. The lecture’s speakers are Arizona State Senator Steve Farley and Jacky Grimshaw, vice president with the Center for Neighborhood Technology. They will discuss how improvements in public transit options in cities such as Tucson, Chicago, and Memphis helped to improve access to jobs, health care, and education. And they’ll talk about how a more robust transit system could positively change Rochester.

The lecture will be held at

the Gleason Auditorium, 1000 University Avenue.

Tickets are $15; $10 for seniors 65 and older; students admitted free with valid identification. Contact: www. cdcrochester.org/reshapingrochester.html.

Forums will address school projects The Rochester City School District will hold two community forums on its $1.2 billion schools modernization program on Thursday, March 3.

The meeting will be held at 595 Upper Falls Boulevard at 5:30 p.m. The second meeting involves the plans for School 22’s remodeling. The meeting will be held at 950 Norton Street at 7 p.m.

Correcting ourselves Last week’s article, “Carousel panel going to RMSC,” incorrectly stated that the Rochester Museum and Science Center has agreed to house a controversial panel from the carousel at Ontario Beach Park. But plans for the panel haven’t been settled, according to city officials.

Shaping chefs FOR MORE ON RYCE, AND TO FIND A LINK TO ITS KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN, VISIT RYCEROC.COM [ FEATURE ] BY LAURA REBECCA KENYON

High school students working in restaurants typically bus tables, mop floors, or wash dishes. And with a little more experience, some may go on to become waiters or act as hosts, but few have the chance to go beyond entry-level positions. The Rochester Youth Culinary Experience aims to change that.

RYCE (pronounced “rice”) is a non-profit organization that will provide local students first-hand experience running a restaurant.

To train those students to be ready for the job market, RYCE will open a self-sustaining restaurant this June in Village Gate where the students will run the restaurant with help from an experienced management team.

“We want the kids to have ownership,” says Aaron Metras, RYCE vicechair. “We provide some guidance, but we also keep our mouths shut.”

Metras and his wife, Kelly, own Salina’s Mexican Restaurant, and co-own Nox Cocktail Lounge. RYCE came into being

when a lease on the space between their two businesses stipulated that it must be used as a restaurant. After a bit of thinking, Kelly came up with the idea to start RYCE. “We wanted to give back to the community as best we could,” Metras says.

RYCE has partnered with East High School, which has a long-standing culinary program. The RYCE restaurant will serve dinner and focus on “Caribbean soul fusion cuisine” based on student-developed recipes.

The space will seat around 60 diners and feature an open kitchen. At the end of each year, the restaurant’s profits will be distributed to organizations helping to combat childhood hunger in the city.

Eight East High seniors are now working to develop the restaurant. “Everything from the menu to restaurant architecture, how to order supplies, how to price items — they’re exposed to it all,” Metras says. Even the name is up to the students — “a hotly debated topic.”

Dominique Brown is one of the students working with RYCE. Brown has participated in East High’s culinary program since his freshman year and will graduate this June.

He plans to study hospitality and earn an MBA, and has big goals of launching a chain

of hotel and restaurants, and later, a cruise line. Of RYCE, Brown says, “That I have this opportunity, at my age and where I’m at in life, is kind of surreal. I’m doing what I want to do in the future, now.”

Once the restaurant has fully launched, up to 25 students will be employed by RYCE from the September of their senior year through the following August. They’ll earn $12 an hour and must remain enrolled in their school’s culinary program throughout their employment. During the 40-week RYCE program, each student will rotate through different aspects of the business, including running the kitchen, general management, and administrative work.

When they bought Salinas in 2011, “we learned more than we learned in our entire education history,” Metras says. “You have to experience it to understand it. It’s the only way to get real insight.”

Mayor Lovely Warren recently voiced her support for the program. “This path is clear: complete a successful education, be prepared and ready to go to work, [then] find a job that pays a living wage,” Warren says.

“But achieving and connecting all of these benchmarks has escaped many individuals in

countless communities. I support the efforts of the RYCE as it aims to help Rochester youth connect each of these dots with a new entrepreneurial concept.”

RYCE is seeking one-time startup funds to build out the restaurant, estimated at $150,000. A Kickstarter campaign to raise $10,000 is currently underway and will close Saturday, March 5. Even if the Kickstarter goal isn’t reached, RYCE will go on by seeking additional partnerships, grants, and low-interest loans.

Several businesses and organizations have thrown in their support: Palmer Foods is a primary sponsor, and is assisting students with ordering and inventory processes.

Rochester Cares and Rochester Store Fixture have helped develop RYCE’s restaurant space. The University of Rochester’s Simon Business School is providing infrastructure and ancillary support for an April 9 Fundraising Carnival at to be held at the Village Gate.

The Geezers. The Beale, 693

Thrilled, confused, intrigued — that’s how I initially felt when finding The Northern Spies’ new CD single in my mailbox. I was thrilled because this is a top notch rock outfit. I was confused because most bands release singles to the pirates of the cyber world. And I was intrigued because Northern Spies went against the grain on the aforementioned protocol. But the band isn’t the least bit obtuse or duplicitous — on these two songs anyway — and delivers two pop rock cuts suitable for multiple spins.

“Do” opens up with some serious drum exuberance which serves as a kick in the pants, but doesn’t stomp out the melody or multiple-layered harmony. On the flip side, “Postcard” comes on in an “I Will Dare” indie kind of way. Both songs are richly layered and textured but avoid getting too muddy or heavy. Just good ole thoughtful, thinking man’s rock ‘n’ roll from a terrific band that knows how to balance its sound.

My Plastic Sun “Jumping Karma Trains” Self-released myplasticsun.com

[ POP/ROCK ]

I was just winding up to say, “It takes a lot of guts to open up a CD as mellow as My Plastic Sun does on its new EP, ‘Jumping Karma Trains,’” but the tunes that follow were equally mellow. The whole thing is a five-song dream. Wait … maybe mellow isn’t the word I’m looking for. Gentle — yeah that’s it, gentle.

The EP picks up a bit of steam by track four, but gone is the psychedelic wash I’ve come to expect from this Rochester band, along with its lost-in-pop-space, Bowie aesthetic.

“Jumping Karma Trains” is essentially a studio project between drummer Roy Stein, who proves your 60’s can be the most prolific time of your life, and singer and multiinstrumentalist Johnny Cummings and his angelic voice — and I don’t even believe in boy angels. The duo does some significant fleshing out with guests such as Overhand Sam, April Laragy — who did the cover artwork as well — and John Viviani to list a few. I’m not one to play favorites, but the EP’s final cut, “Couldn’t Love You More,” breaks my heart every time. Honestly this whole record is lovely in its languid display.

It’s not a tear-jerker but could render you weepy if you’re not careful.

Gigantosaurus Rex is stomping into the Rochester music scene with a meaty sound that's tight but nods toward the ability to get loose. PHOTO PROVIDED

Monster steps Gigantosaurus Rex WITH OVERHAND SAM FRIDAY, MARCH 4 LOVIN’ CUP, 300 PARK POINT DRIVE 8 P.M. | $5 | LOVINCUP.COM GIGANTOSAURUSREX.COM [ INTERVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE

Giganotosaurus Rex was a big f***ing creature that roamed the Earth millions of years ago. It’s also the name of a threepiece band that currently roams the Rochester Earth. Gigantosaurus Rex (the band; notice the missing “o”) is angular, obtuse, and dynamic. The diamondcutter precision this band plays with is made more amazing when you consider the largess of its music: a crushing sound created by a mere three musicians. G-Rex ain’t a jam band, yet there are points of magic and chaos in which the band forges ahead, locked in the moment. Regardless, everything comes off tight with a nod to the ability to get loose.

The band admirably catches that energy and dexterity on its debut EP, “Providence 3.0,” but Gigantosaurus Rex is a full-on live affair, boys and girls.

The onslaught begins with drummer Sean Jefferson whose time signatures seem to weave in and out of each other.

Bassist Tyrone Allen switch hits between strolling the bottom end to a more guitar-like attack. Andrew Links mans the keyboard, launching waves of melody 14 CITY MARCH 2-8, 2016

and noise you can almost taste. It’s one intense audio spectacle.

Jefferson, Allen, and Links stopped to explain more about the Gigantosaurus Rex sound. An edited transcript follows.

City: So who got this started?

Sean Jefferson: It was my idea; just

playing in other bands — it wasn’t like they weren’t good or anything, I just wasn’t playing me. It wasn’t a perfect marriage so there was compromise. I just wasn’t doing what I wanted to be doing long term. I wanted to be playing music that gave the freedom to not be branded as a jazz drummer or a rock drummer, and be just a drummer who plays music.

So I met Andrew first and was like, “Dude, we gotta do something fast.”

He told me about Tyrone. It was more or less, “Hey guys, I want to play some really cool stuff. Do you want to play cool stuff too?”

You put out an EP rather quickly.

Jefferson: We went into it kind of

business-like. “Let’s just record an EP so we have something to promote.”

How did you entice the other two into the band?

Jefferson: I told them the kind of bands

and direction I was moving toward, like Hiatus Coyote, Bjork — I would marry her music if I could. So we got together and played some stuff I had already written. And even though I say “written,”

THURSDAY, MARCH 3 US Navy Concert Band. Hale

Did the sound evolve into something other than what you had initially set out to do?

Jefferson: I don’t want to say it’s not

very different, but we went into it with a really open mind and whatever these guys do well, I wanted to capitalize on that.

What were your expectations for the band?

Tyrone Allen: Honestly, I had no idea what

I was getting into with this band. A big thing for me was I play a lot of upright bass in school, and at that point I hadn’t had the chance to play electric. This seemed like the way to play it a lot more.

Andrew Links: For me, I saw it as an opportunity to explore electronics and noise-scaping, and to create a lot of textures all at once. It’s something I love doing, though I’ve done it in more free-jazz settings. This is a lot more controlled. Almost every tune, we have a section where it’s open but with a general direction.

But it seems very precise, tight.

Jefferson: That comes from playing a lot.

What do you struggle with? What comes hard for the band?

Links: When we write things that are

actually harder than we can do.

Jefferson: It’s taking really difficult music and making it sound easy and attainable to the average listener.

What won’t you do?

Jefferson: We avoid clichés.

Links: Or we use them as rhetorical tools.

Testament’s debut album, “The Legacy,” released in 1987, played fast and heavy, drawing a comparison to Metallica. The band followed it up with “Practice What You Preach” in 1989, and other critically acclaimed records soon followed. While Testament has not reached the dizzy heights of mainstream music, the band remains a backbone of underground metal. The lineup includes frontman Chuck Billy and ace-in-the-hole guitarist Alex Skolnick, who are both members of the supergroup Metal Allegiance, which comes to town for an April concert.

The work is a striking masterpiece showcasing the evocative colors of both the piano and the orchestra as a whole. A composer whose own commanding and charismatic style is well-suited to stand alongside this piece is Richard Strauss, whose “Ein Heldenleben (A Hero’s Life)” will also be performed. The evening will open with Stephanie Berg’s “Ravish and Mayhem,” as part of the RPO’s shift toward highlighting the music of contemporary composers. Ward Stare conducts. The program promises to be highly spirited and engaging, with an emphasis on youthful artistry.

Intimate opera Chamber Opera Festival FRIDAY, MARCH 4, THROUGH SUNDAY, MARCH 6 LYRIC THEATRE, 440 EAST AVENUE FOR PRICES AND PERFORMANCE SCHEDULES, VISIT ROCHESTERLYRICOPERA.ORG [ PREVIEW ] BY DAVID RAYMOND

The word “opera” is often preceded by the adjective “grand,” but many operatic pleasures are as intimate as they are rewarding. Exploring the vast repertoire of small-scale and one-act operas has been a specialty of Rochester Lyric Opera for several years, and this weekend’s RLO Chamber Opera Fest will feature a variety of musical goodies.

For Friday’s opening night, Rochester Lyric Opera is joining forces with a newer group, Opera Ithaca, to present a pair of “Histoires d’Amour,” or “Parisian Love Stories”: operatic romances set in 19th-century Paris.

One half of the double bill doesn’t really qualify as a one-act, and its Parisian love story is actually by an Italian composer, but probably nobody will mind hearing highlights from Puccini’s “La Bohème,” one of the most popular of all operas. Members of the company, including RLO Founder and Artistic Director Sue Cotroneo as Mimi, will offer a sort of greatest-hits assortment of arias and ensembles from this evergreen score.

The companion piece to the “Bohème” 18 CITY MARCH 2-8, 2016

excerpts will be a “fun, sweet love story” (in Cotroneo’s accurate description) that will be a discovery for most opera lovers: “Une éducation manqué” (“An Incomplete Education”) by the 19th-century French composer Emmanuel Chabrier. Best known for ebullient, tuneful orchestral works like “Espana” and “Marche joyeuse,” Chabrier also wrote several operas, including this charmingly risqué trifle: a story of a just-married couple whose “incomplete education” did not include instructions about what to do on their honeymoon. (They eventually figure it out, thanks to an opportune thunderstorm and a frightened bride in a loose nightie.)

“Une éducation manqué” will be fully costumed and staged, and both parts of the double bill will be accompanied by an orchestra. Opera Ithaca’s Richard Montgomery will serve as stage director and conductor for this double bill. The Chabrier performance will be sung in French and the “Bohème” excerpts in Italian, but both with English supertitles.

For something completely different, on

Saturday, Lyric Opera will present “Little Red’s Most Unusual Day,” which might be described as a comic-operatic fantasia on the story of Little Red Riding Hood.

Composer John Davies arranged the score from famous tunes of Mozart, Rossini, and Offenbach — “tunes kids would recognize,” Cotroneo says. For example, Little Red sings “Off to Grandmother’s house I go”

to the tune of Offenbach’s popular “Tales of Hoffmann” barcarolle.

To the outlines of the familiar story, Davies adds a romance between a forest ranger and Little Red’s mother; a misplaced basket of flowers; and quite a few farcical tangles which get untangled in a half-hour or so. It’s an entertaining diversion for families, and according to Cotroneo, an ideal introduction for kids to the music of opera.

“Little Red’s Most Unusual Day” will be presented at The Strong National Museum of Play (1 Manhattan Square Drive) as part of its Royal Ball Weekend. (Admission to the production is included with museum admission). Rochester Lyric Opera has presented a short, family-oriented production during the Royal Ball for several years now. It is “our gift to the community,” Cotroneo says. It also builds the Lyric Opera’s audiences: parents whose kids enjoyed the Strong Museum operas often bring them to “grown-up” Lyric Opera shows.

“I’d always wanted to work with Deb Fox,” Cotroneo says, and for the final performance of the festival on Sunday evening, Lyric Opera will team up with Pegasus Early Music (of which Fox is the artistic director) for “A Night at the Baroque Opera.” Two of Pegasus’s ace guest vocalists — soprano Laura Heimes and countertenor José Lemos — will be heard in a program of familiar arias from operas by Monteverdi (“The Coronation of Poppea”), Handel (“Giulio Cesare”), and Purcell (“Dido and Aeneas” and “The Fairy Queen”). They’ll be joined by the Pegasus Early Music Baroque Orchestra, which will also play orchestral excerpts from several baroque operas — and for good measure, a sonata by Johann Georg Pisandel, a contemporary of J. S. Bach.

Opera from the 17th and 18th centuries (before Gluck and Mozart) was hardly performed until after World War II. With the growth of interest and expertise in early music scholarship and performance practices, works by Handel, Rameau, and Vivaldi, along with such figures from music history books as Agostino Steffani and Marc-Antoine Charpentier, have become surprisingly good for the box office.

For Deb Fox, this popularity comes as no surprise at all. Calling the music of baroque opera “by turns heroic, heartfelt, virtuosic, and poignant,” she points out that it is also a gift for singers.

“Opera singers in the baroque era were expected to ornament their parts, often competing to outdo each other: They could become as famous as opera divas today, with fans in attendance cheering them on during performances.” Fox adds that Laura Heimes and José Lamos, both frequent guests of Pegasus Early Music, have the requisite baroque virtuoso chops, as well as “a rare and appealing rapport with each other onstage.”

ART | “ECLECTIC”

This month, The College at Brockport will feature an art exhibition with works not connected by maker or theme, but by virtue of being part of faculty members’ collections. Through March 25, you can check out “Eclectic: From the Private Collections of Department of Art Faculty” at the Tower Fine Arts Center Gallery at The College at Brockport (180 Holley Street). The show includes artwork by a wide range of historical and contemporary artists According to Tim Massey, chair of the Department of Art and curator for the exhibition, artists and art historians alike “observe, appreciate, and collect what strikes them as interesting, beautiful, or important.” Through collecting, art faculty have supported other artists, including current or former students, he says.

Admission to the gallery is free. Hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Sunday, 1 to 4 p.m. The gallery will be closed March 12 through March 20, for academic break. There is metered parking available to the side of Tower, and parking passes are available for purchase at the Welcome Center on Commencement Drive. Parking is free on weekdays after 7 p.m. and throughout the weekend. For more information, call 395-2805 or visit brockport.edu/finearts.

Beyond honeybees and hornets “Pinpoints of Perception: Portraits of 1000 Native Bees”

BY HEATHER GREEN THROUGH MARCH 20 HARTNETT GALLERY, WILSON COMMONS, UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, 11 A.M. TO 7 P.M.; SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, NOON TO 5 P.M. FREE | 275-4188 BLOGS.ROCHESTER.EDU/HARTNETT [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Classical associations with bees have included abundance and order, but these days any mention of the miniscule marvels tends to spark anxiety about environmental doom, colony collapse, and the shadowy bearing that this could have on human life.

And along with a sense of fascination, these were the associations that sprung to mind when viewing Heather Green’s “Pinpoints of Perception: Portraits of 1000 Native Bees” at Hartnett Gallery.

Unfortunately for anyone who couldn’t make it to Green’s artist talk last week, there is no context offered on site for the artwork.

There’s no artist statement, no information about the artist or exhibit, only an incomplete list of species with the promise that this will be remedied during the run of the show.

So referring to the artists’ website for more information, we can learn that “Pinpoints of Perception” is an ongoing project that Green originally created for an Art & Science research laboratory she participated in during 2011, which focused on climate change in southern Arizona.

“As part of the laboratory we stayed at El Coronado Ranch hosted by Cuenca los Ojos Foundation, where I learned about Dr. Robert Minckley’s research on native bees of that area,” Green says on the subpage associated with this project.

In the gallery, the ephemeral nature of the insects is immortalized twice: in groupings of lovingly painted, life-sized oil portraits of different species, as well as actual species samples, pinned within eight display cases in the middle of the space.

The title of the exhibit itself is misleading, as there is nowhere near 1000 portraits of bees, unless the specimen samples themselves can be construed as portraits. Even counting those, the number is still doubtful, but this 20 CITY MARCH 2-8, 2016

is an ongoing project, and Green plans to add to the number overtime.

Green specifically selected bees from the Sonoran Desert — a 100,000-square-mile space spanning southern Arizona and California and northern Mexico — because it holds one of the world’s richest areas for bee diversity, with as many as 1,300 native species believed to inhabit the area (there are nearly 20,000 known species of bees in the world).

To create her paintings, Green borrows specimens from university collections to photograph and replicate in oil inside small copper trays, which the artist has pinned to the walls in swarms. Above each Heather Green’s “Pinpoints of Perception,” installed at Hartnett grouping are panels of glass Gallery, includes dozens of life-sized paintings of bees as part of hung at right angles to the an ongoing project to document 1000 of the species native to the Sonora Desert.

THEATER | “LITTLE RED’S MOST UNUSUAL DAY”

TWITTER.COM/

Rochester Lyric Opera presents the classic children’s story “Little Red Riding Hood” in a new light. “Little Red’s Most Unusual Day” is both a more lighthearted version of the fairytale and a short opera tailored to children. During the 30-40 minute performance, tiny audience members will meet Little Red and her mom, Mrs. Hood; Forest Ranger Dudley; Granny; and the Wolf. Through mishaps, mistakes, and laughs, each character has an unusual day — but it’s Little Red who has the most unusual day of all.

“Little Red’s Most Unusual Day” plays at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., and 3 p.m. on Saturday, March 5 at The Strong National Museum of Play, 1 Manhattan Square. Tickets are included with museum admission. For more information, call 263-2700 or visit museumofplay.org. — BY LEAH STACY

COMEDY | EARL DAVID REED

Earl David Reed is a comedian everyman: he’s relatable; he’s flexible; and he wants to be friends with his audience. In fact, one of the aspects that sticks out most from a Reed set is his ability to work the audience into his routine. Reed cites Don Rickles as an influence, and in interviews, he’s been upfront about the need for well-crafted, quick-witted comedy — it shows in the way Reed can read a room.

Earl David Reed will perform Thursday, March 3, through Saturday, March 5, at The Comedy Club, 2235 Empire Boulevard, Webster. 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday; and 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. $9-$15. thecomedyclub.us; imearldavidreed.com. — BY JAKE CLAPP 5, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Brickstone’s Wintergarden at St. John’s Independent Living Community, 1325 Elmwood Ave. 327-5752. mvphealthcare.com.

Buffalo-based artist and photographer Zach Frank works in a variety of paint and drawing media, with subject matter ranging from photo-real portraiture, to colorful geometric studies, to surreal, meandering doodles. Especially interesting are his “Recess Paintings,” in which he incorporates elements of playgrounds into vague environments, toying with perspective and spatial relationships.

Catch a dozen of his drawings, displayed at Tajze’s Wine & R&B Lounge (139 State Street) through the end of March. An opening party for “Simple Communication” will be held on Saturday, March 5, from 6 to 10 p.m. There’s a $5 cover that comes with complimentary champagne for the 8 p.m. toast.

Recognizable songs King wrote with her husband, Gerry Goffin, are woven throughout the plot, including Aretha Franklin’s “A Natural Woman,” Celine Dion’s “The Reason,” James Taylor’s “You’ve Got a Friend,” and the song known by “Gilmore Girls” fans everywhere, “Where You Lead.”

Justice in comedy “Dark Justice”

WATCH THE FULL FIRST SEASON AT DARKJUSTICESHOW.COM [ FEATURE ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

There are any number of ways to bring attention to a hot-button issue, and among the trickiest methods to pull off gracefully is satire. When the subject you’re looking at is the current state of race relations in our country, the stumbling blocks are innumerable. But that didn’t dissuade filmmaker and Rochester native Mike Gerbino from tackling the issue head-on with his timely six-episode web series “Dark Justice.”

Without preaching and without villainizing those on either side of the issue, the series is a reaction to the breakout of the Black Lives Matter movement (not to mention the redundant All Lives Matter and Blue Lives Matter offshoots).

“I found myself overwhelmed by the protests that had erupted from the killings of Eric Garner and Michael Brown,” Gerbino says. “I’m from Rochester, but I’m currently living in New York City and the tension was obvious here. I have close friends and family on all sides of the police violence issue, and while I was working to formulate my own thoughts on it, I came up with the idea for ‘Dark Justice.’ I think it was a way of laughing a bit and being able to ease the tension I was feeling.”

With a deadpan sense of humor and the provocative, in-your-face politics of a Spike Lee joint, “Dark Justice” manages to find the humor in a sensitive topic. Filmed in 2015, the series stars local actor Che Holloway as policeman Amir Johnson, the first

black officer in a small, unnamed town’s all-white police department. When Amir’s partner (Tim O’Connor) shoots him after being unable to distinguish between his uniformed fellow officer and a robbery suspect, the incident kicks off a bitter legal battle that embroils the entire force.

Gerbino took inspiration for the story from real-life incidents. “I remember seeing a story of a black lieutenant in some city who had been arrested by his subordinate officers. He had been driving his SUV at night, and was pulled over. Not only was he profiled for driving, but they didn’t even believe him when he said he was their boss. I thought that was pretty horrible, and a little funny.” Gerbino took the idea to the extreme for satire.

Though the situation is played for laughs, the issues “Dark Justice” raises are taken completely serious. At one point, Amir’s partner attempts to justify his behavior by explaining how racism has carried and nurtured him through his darkest times — in a distorted reflection of the “footprints in the sand” religious allegory. On one hand, it’s a silly, ridiculous assertion, but on the other, it’s as good a way as any to describe how racism is systemic and ingrained in every aspect of society. It’s honest, and the truth hurts.

The series has obviously struck a chord, receiving positive attention both locally and nationally. Just last week, the series was awarded Best Web Series at the ROC Awards, where Holloway was also nominated for Best Actor.

As writer and director of the series, Gerbino (who is white) creates a unique tone in which sharp social satire can exist comfortably alongside crude fart jokes. Aside from Spike Lee, Gerbino namechecks the animated series “The Boondocks,” Mel Brooks, and Christopher Morris’ black comedy “Four Lions” as sources of inspiration, which should give you an idea of the general tone.

“Dark Justice is a very light, absurd treatment of an issue from my perspective,” Gerbino says.

“And, because of that, I worked really hard to respect the main character’s plight so that people don’t feel like the joke is on him the whole time.”

“Dark Justice” rises above any budget limitations with a smart script and a game cast, including the funny Jon Cesar, playing an Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson-inspired reverend who takes on Amir’s case. But much of the success is due to Holloway, who makes for a likeable and sympathetic conduit through which the audience views the exaggerated world Gerbino has created.

“Dark Justice” is the kind of daring comedy we need at a time when the public loses their damn minds when Beyoncé embraces her black heritage, and the Academy Awards have become ground zero for debating the lack of racial representation in Hollywood. “It isn’t really a ‘message’ show, but in my opinion, it is telling the objective reality of the situation: we have a problem with police and race that, despite how obvious it is, we simply cannot talk about,” Gerbino says.

Fragmented State

continues from page 9

Could 2016 be the year that New York gets paid family leave?

The Assembly has passed paid family leave legislation during each of the past few sessions, including this year. The governor and Senate Independent Democratic Conference have also submitted proposals.

Each of the proposals differs in specifics, but they’d all allow workers 12 weeks of paid leave to care for newborns and seriously ill children, spouses, and members of their immediate families.

Under each proposal, workers would see a small deduction from their paychecks — less than $1 per pay period — which the state would use to pay workers a portion of their regular earnings while they’re on leave. The amount of the benefit varies by proposal; the Assembly measure provides up to two-thirds of a person’s earnings up to $400 a week.

If paid family leave stalls, it’ll be because of the Senate — the Republican majority has blocked past proposals. This time around, however, Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan says he’s willing to

consider paid family leave and that he likes the idea of using an employee contribution system to fund it. But he does have reservations, several of which echo the concerns of statewide business groups.

Unshackle Upstate doesn’t oppose paid family leave, Biryla says, but does have suggestions to make the proposals less burdensome on businesses. The leave period should be shortened from 12 weeks to six weeks, he says. And businesses with fewer than either 25 or 50 employees should be exempt, he says, just as they are under the federal unpaid family leave law.

“When you think about a small employer and paid leave, often times you may only have one person in your office that handles accounting, so that person going out is a giant burden,” Biryla says. “You may only have one person in your office in a given company that handles HR. So it’s not always easy to absorb the loss of that productivity of that employee.”

Some paid leave proponents resist the idea of a small business exemption. Their argument is that small business employees still have children, or parents who get sick, and they need to take time off of work.

Paid leave would allow parents to spend time with their newborns during critical first weeks, and is particularly valuable to low-income workers who currently don’t have a lot of protections, says Brigit Hurley, policy analyst for the Children’s Agenda. Paid leave benefits employers, too, she says.

“Having employees coming back to work two or three weeks after a child is born, there’s going to be costs associated with that worker’s productivity,” Hurley says. “And a worker who’s trying to run back and forth from a hospice bed to work, certainly there’s an impact on the business with that employee being stressed and distracted and all that. I think that it’s sort of a false comparison to say that there’s no cost to businesses right now.”

Will the state provide more funding for charter schools?

Cuomo’s budget proposal includes a $27 million increase in aid to charter schools, but many charter supporters are pushing for more.

New York’s charter schools are public schools, but they’re given fewer resources per pupil than their district-run peers, says Duncan Kirkwood, Western New York advocacy manager for Northeast Charter Schools Network. Rochester charters get 68 cents on the dollar per pupil, compared to other city schools, he says.

The major problem is that the schools don’t receive facilities aid, which is money that could be used to buy, renovate, expand, or lease space, he says. So the schools, which do not charge tuition, have to choose whether they’ll use money on staff and programs, he says, or on investments in physical space.

Kirkwood uses Young Women’s College Prep on Flower City Park as an example. The

school has a room that serves triple duty as a cafeteria, gym, and auditorium, he says, and would have to direct money away from staffing to afford any expansion.

Senate Republicans have included facilities aid for charters in their past two budget proposals, but the money never made it into the final plan.

Kirkwood says that he hopes that the Senate includes it this year and that the Assembly approves it.

But any additional money for charter schools will be controversial. Many supporters of public schools as well as the leaders of teachers unions have serious concerns about charters or oppose them outright.

Charters create parallel school systems that drain resources from traditional public schools, they say, and many urban public schools need that money badly.

Some critics also say that charters privatize education, and for that reason they shouldn’t receive public funding.

Go On, Let the Light Shine 37 Elmdorf Avenue Sitting just blocks from Brooks Landing and St. Monica’s Parish, one of the best things going for the property at 37 Elmdorf Avenue is its location in the 19th Ward neighborhood. The sheer amount of space that this Craftsman style home offers is also a big plus. Originally built in 1913 during the height of development in the 19th Ward, this home offers up plenty of room, light and little surprises along the way.

The home’s first greeting is an enclosed brick front porch that serves as a great sitting area looking out over the historic neighborhood.

Upon entering the living area, one finds herself peering down a main hallway--one side of which includes a partially hollowed wall to allow for an endearing coat rack and shoe depot. On the opposite side is a front office area, which could otherwise be utilized as a smaller bedroom, and down the hall is a full-sized bathroom complete with pedestal sink. A high privacy wall that helps to seclude the shower area makes a perfect design for natural ventilation and natural light to filter through the smaller area.

White crown molding adorns the home throughout, and the living room that branches right off the main entry boasts a matching white brick gas fireplace with mantle. A large window in the dining room illuminates both rooms, creating an inclusive, inviting area to enjoy and entertain guests. Both a rear door and sliding

glass unit off the kitchen lead you to a tiered deck with steps exiting down to the back lawn.

Just off the kitchen, almost tucked away at the end of the house is the carpeted staircase leading up to the second floor, which includes three bedrooms and another full bath. The master bedroom is a lovely sized oasis with a three-paneled window, hardwood flooring and a walk-in closet. In fact, all bedrooms upstairs have ideal room for storage—a standalone treasure.

Nothing hints more at the charming geometric qualities of this home than the triangular windows on each side of the dormer that extends off a spare room upstairs. Believed to be added on by previous owners, this area could easily be used as a craft space or sleeping porch overlooking the fenced-in 0.16 acre lot.

A basement with a half bath, glass block windows and new hot water heater completes the 1,575 square foot property, along with a detached one-car garage.

To learn more about 37 Elmdorf Avenue or to schedule a visit, contact Tracy Knight of Keller Williams Realty at 585-755-2482.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD

Cat Culture

Longtime National Symphony cellist David Teie announced in November that his crowdfunding project was hugely successful, freeing him to produce an album of music meaningful to cats. (Cats, for example, relax in response to the earliest sound of their mother’s purring, which Teie clocked at 23 harp notes a second.) Teie’s work, according to an October Washington Post feature, includes examining waveforms of real-time purrs and creating an organ sound to mimic the opening and closing of a cat’s vocal chords. His KickStarter pitch raised so much money that he might also try creating music for bored zoo elephants or stressed-out whales. In tests, cats responded well to Teie’s music, according to a 2015 journal article (but with less curiosity at the Washington cat cafe Crumbs & Whiskers).

Leading Economic Indicators

— Amazon.com has riled up Buddhist temples in Japan, according to a January Associated Press dispatch, by offering traveling monks rentable online to conduct funerals and other rituals. The monk would go to a home, grave or funeral home, at fees and upgrades ranging from the equivalent of $300 to about $8,500. (Many of Japan’s 75,000 Buddhist temples are struggling financially and destined to close.

Complained a spokesman for the Japan Buddhist Association, what Amazon is facilitating “is allowed in no other country in the world.”)

— In February, Gawker.com introduced the semi-serious Lube Crude Index as a poignant indicator of how far the price of oil has fallen. Comparing the world price of a standard 42-gallon barrel of crude

(about $31) with that of a 55-gallon barrel of Passion Natural Water-Based Lubricant (retailing as, when packaged in smaller quantities, a sexual aid) shows that “sex lube” is more valuable than crude oil by a factor of 28 — a barrel’s worth of the lube recently priced at $1,175 versus crude’s barrel-adjusted $41. As recently as June 2014, the Lube Crude Index was near 1.

(Gawker reported that only two actual barrels of Passion Natural could be found and that the price would likely rise further if one of them were sold.)

Unclear on the Concept

(1) Angel Rivera, 49, was arrested in December in Orlando, Florida, on allegations that he punched a child in the face because the boy was not getting dressed for church fast enough. (The boy was wearing an ankle brace, which slowed him down.) (2) Ryan Dailey, 28, was arrested in Las Cruces, New Mexico, in February on several charges after, police said, he beat his mother by pounding her with a Bible.

His explanation, police said, was that when he asked her who her soul belonged to, she repeatedly declined to answer.

Who Knew?

The much-maligned pigeon was recently found by researchers to be as skilled as humans at distinguishing between slides of benign versus malignant human breast tissue. Writing in the journal PLOS ONE, specialists from the University of Iowa and University of California, Davis lauded the birds’ processing of color, contrast, brightness and image compression, marveling that pigeons see more wavelengths of light than humans, even though their brains are one-thousandth the size. (Birds are already known to distinguish “hostile” humans in celebrated dive-pecking incidents.)

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): A serious attitude regarding love and marriage will take someone you are interested in by surprise. Opt to show your feelings through affection rather than verbalizing what you want or expect in return. Life is a two-way street, and when it comes to love, you are best to meet halfway.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Uncertainty will prevail when it comes to the person who intrigues and fascinates you.

Being attracted to a player who isn’t showing interest in you will stop you from noticing someone much better suited to you. Take a step back and consider your options.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll be tempted to play the game of love. Be careful not to lead someone on who has the potential to cause you grief when you back away. Not all lovers are created equal, and messing with the wrong person can lead to a precarious situation.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You won’t be able to help yourself when it comes to love.

Someone most unusual will capture your interest and steal your heart. Don’t give up before you begin because the odds are stacked against you. Put your best foot forward, and you’ll find a way to make it work.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You need

a change. Check out places of interest and activities that you enjoy, and you will encounter someone who shares similar pastimes and can match you mentally, physically and financially every step of the way. Love at first sight can lead to a serious commitment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t be fooled by someone trying to be everything you are looking for in a mate. Emotional manipulation is prevalent, causing disillusionment and deception when it comes to love. Don’t be too quick to jump into a relationship. Take your time and find out how much you truly have in common.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Get out and enjoy what life has to offer. Plan a day trip or join a high-end dating service, and you will have no trouble attracting partners worthy of your time.

An intellectually stimulating encounter with someone you meet will develop quickly into a passionate liaison.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You won’t be the best judge of character when it comes to love. You’ll attract someone who appeals to you and offers experimental intimacy, but in the end, a cool, detached, unaffectionate trait will leave you feeling alone and emotionally deceived. Play for fun, not for keeps this week.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When it comes to love, don’t trust everything you hear. If you are attracted to someone, be open and honest, and you will find out where you stand. Don’t let your physical attraction cause you to let the object of your desires persuade you to pick up a questionable habit.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Check out the pros and cons when it comes to getting involved with someone long-term.

If you aren’t able to enter into a relationship that offers equality, it isn’t likely you’ll be able to sustain the feelings you have for this person. Choose someone who can keep up with you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll be attracted to someone much older or much younger.

Don’t be intimidated by the age difference. Someone as experimental as you will jump at the chance to explore what you have to offer one each other. The experience will be valuable and lead to personal growth.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A secret affair will be tempting but will not end up being in your best interest. Avoid getting involved with someone you work with or who has the potential to influence your financial future.

Protect your reputation and don’t be fooled by sweet talk, gifts or other perks being offered.
