Planning the zoo’s future 649 Park Ave | Rochester, NY

Readers responded to Monroe County’s plan to renovate the Seneca Park Zoo, including tearing down the main building (News, March 18).
I love the zoo and think it is past time that the zoo updates its main building. Zoos have a key role in getting people interested in wildlife which will, in the long run, help create the political pressure to save wildlife habitats. ADRIAN MARTIN
The zoo should not be a prison to animals that should otherwise be free. They should also not serve animals as food. The irony is that the only reason a zoo might need to exist is to help animals who might otherwise go extinct. But the eating of animals is one of the prime reasons animals go extinct. CRUELTYFREEEATER
Close this animal prison. Children are not going to learn much from an animal in an artificial habit other than putting profit and entertainment over an animal’s right to be free just like us. JAY THIELE
We need to stop preserving specimens and start saving habitats. The specimens found in zoos are very poor representations of the species. In order to survive in captivity, they need to possess behavioral attributes — lack of aggression, adaptability to non-native climates — usually at odds with the attributes that would make them best suited for survival in their natural habitat. 2 CITY
MARCH 25-31, 2015
A generation or two in captivity and you don’t even really have a specimen of that species anymore. In nature, these organisms are creating and maintaining our life-support system. In captivity, they are feeding a foolish worldview for humans who’d rather have someplace to take the kids on Sunday than actually securing their kids’ future. SANITY MONGER
Vargas vs. the school board
Rochester schools Superintendent Bolgen Vargas may sue the school board over changes in his responsibilities (Urban Journal, March 11).
“The superintendent says the board is trying to take away authority that both state law and his contract allow — authority he needs in order to carry out his responsibilities.” That’s funny — this is the same argument schools have about central office. Give the principals and schools their authority back because we need it to carry out OUR responsibility, which is to TEACH OUR CHILDREN. STATINGTHEOBVIOUS
Can I ask if any of this means putting staffing and scheduling back at the building level? I have never experienced mismanagement as I have in the past two years. Central office has no idea the needs of a particular building. LISA DIRENZO ENGLERT
Poverty may be the single biggest hurdle in all of this, but this is all about personnel, and this has never been clearer to everyone who works in the district. The district has never had so many high-level changes, large-scale blunders, principal discontent, student shuffling, superintendent vs. board chair anxiety, volunteer unhappiness, parent confusion, etc. GOTTA SAY IT

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
Killing public schools It’s not news that around the country, public education is under attack. In some areas, the fight is about high-stakes testing and teacher evaluations – topics well worth debating. But in cities, the attack is much more basic, with very serious implications. And I wonder whether the folks involved – the ones launching the attacks and the ones on the receiving end – realize where this is heading. Many political leaders, business leaders, and ordinary citizens have given up on city school districts, putting their faith in charter schools, private schools, and parochial schools. The day may not be far off when the public considers those schools the preferred providers of education for city children. Look at what’s happening: Most states now have charter schools, and the number of charters is growing. So is support by governors and state legislators. President Obama himself has been a vocal advocate. In New York State, which currently has a cap of 460 charter schools, Governor Cuomo and Senate Republicans want to raise or eliminate it. In Massachusetts, charter-school advocates have been pushing the state to do away with its cap. Last year, despite opposition by New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, Cuomo successfully pushed for legislation that would help charter schools get space in public school buildings. In this year’s state budget, Cuomo is tying school aid to education reforms that he wants. Cuomo and Senate Republicans also want to give New Yorkers and corporations tax credits not only for donations to public schools but also for donations to scholarship funds for poor and middle-income students at private and parochial schools. We all know why this is happening. Many, many children are failing in traditional public schools. And while that tragedy isn’t limited to cities, it’s in cities – cities with high populations of poor, non-white children – that the situation is the worst. Not coincidentally, that’s where most of the charter schools are developing. I’ve abandoned my opposition to charter schools because many inner-city parents are demanding an alternative for their children. It’s hard to justify forcing them to choose from a list of traditional public schools where the poverty rate is near 100 percent and the achievement level is abysmal. Charter school opponents argue that nationally, charter schools don’t seem to be performing a lot better than public schools. You can find studies arguing both side of that issue, though. But charter schools are hurting traditional public schools in two ways. They’re siphoning off money from public districts. And the

Public schools are in trouble, and there’s plenty of blame to go around. But do critics know what their attacks will do?” families who seek out charter schools tend to be the ones who are most motivated, most engaged in education. (The same is true with the public urban-suburban program, which is now expanding.) The Rochester school district needs the presence of those children and their families. The children left behind are likely to be those with the greatest needs. And the resources for their schools will have been slashed. And soon, through an education tax credit, private and parochial schools may increase the competition. If children in most public schools were doing well, we wouldn’t have this problem. And for that, there’s plenty of blame to go around: teachers, administrators, superintendents, school boards, and yes, the parents who aren’t involved enough in their children’s education, who don’t insist on good behavior. And I’m growing increasingly exasperated that all of those parties keep blaming everybody else rather than focusing first on the obvious improvements needed in themselves and their peers. But tragically, hardly anybody with the power to really bring about change is willing to face our biggest problem: the concentrated poverty of the nation’s inner cities. Instead, we look for easier, sexier solutions: charter schools, education tax credits, teacher pay tied to test scores. I know: I keep harping on the concentrated-poverty issue. But its importance dwarfs that of everything else. And by obsessing about everything else, the plain fact is this: We’re destroying the public education system in the nation’s cities. Is that really what we want to do?

New theaters for Rochester?
The concept of adding multiple new venues to Rochester’s performing arts scene seemed to die with the Renaissance Square project in 2009. But it has come back strong. Rochester Broadway Theatre League wants a 3,000-seat theater downtown, and the city has taken the first steps toward getting one built by seeking out a consultant to do a study.
Vargas proposes budget
Rochester schools Superintendent Bolgen Vargas presented a proposed $800 million budget for the 20152016 school year. Vargas said he can close a $40.5 million gap with minimal layoffs, while adding three more schools to those with expanded learning, increasing summer school programs, and adding at least one reading teacher for every school. The proposal hinges on receiving at least $26 million in state aid.

And RBTL officials say that if they get a new theater downtown, they’ll continue to operate the Auditorium Theatre. Rochester Lyric Opera is said by several sources to want to convert the First Church of Christ, Scientist, building on East Avenue into a performance theater for its own productions and a variety of other events. (The church has moved to East Rochester.) Fringe Festival leaders have already said that the church will be one of the venues for next September’s festival. And the building is a venue for the Jazz Festival this year. Lyric Opera officials declined to comment on their plans, but City Council member Elaine Spaull says that the surrounding neighborhoods are excited about the potential new theater.
A study commissioned in the planning of Ren Square, which would’ve combined a performing arts center with a transit center and MCC, found that Rochester could support a performingarts venue with three or four theaters. But Rochester’s performance venues have increased since Ren Square died. The Eastman School of Music built a new small theater, Blackfriars now has a building on East Main, Nazareth renovated its arts center in 2009, and last year, RAPA began operating a 1,964-seat theater in northwest Rochester. Can Rochester support all of these performance spaces? The downtown theater study may give a clue. It will include a look at the demand for a new downtown theater, and will include a market analysis.

“There’s just a whole bunch of benefits that are really attractive both to younger people and older people. So many people are away from their own extended families, and this kind of creates another kind of extended family for people.” [ JANE BLEEG, FLOWER CITY COHOUSING COMMUNITY ]
HOUSING | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN
Rochester group explores cohousing A volunteer group is working to create Rochester’s first co-housing development — a multigenerational community located on one to two acres within the city limits. Co-housing is essentially a planned community where residents have their own homes or apartments, but there are shared spaces, too, including a common house for residents to eat together or to hold gatherings. The communities often have a courtyard that’s jointly owned by the residents. And residents often share tools, art supplies, musical instruments, and recreation equipment, and participate in joint activities. Residents sometimes share vehicles, too, says Jane Ellen Bleeg, coordinator of the Flower City Cohousing Community. “There’s just a whole bunch of benefits that are really attractive both to younger people and older people,” she says. “So many people are away from their own extended families, and this kind of creates another kind of extended family for people.” A cohousing community might be well suited for single parents, Bleeg says, because they’d have a built-in support system. The Flower City community would consist of 20 units with houses, duplexes, and a three-story building that would have six apartments and the common house. Bleeg says that there may be some affordable units, too.
“The big piece of it is being part of a caring community,” Bleeg says. “We’ve just heard some amazing stories.” She says she learned how one community came together to care for a dying resident in her last days. “The community just kind of surrounded her with love and food and care,” Bleeg says. “Certainly, they needed to bring in outside assistance, as well. But instead of going into a nursing home or instead of going into a hospital, she was able to die at home — the way she wanted to.” There are more than 220 cohousing communities in 36 states, according to the Cohousing Association of the United States. The Flower City Cohousing Community will hold a public information session from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, April 19, at Asbury United Methodist Church, 1050 East Avenue. The event’s speaker is Liz Walker, co-founder of three cohousing communities in Ithaca. Walker’s presentation will be followed by a panel with the Flower City group. The event is free, but registration is encouraged. Call Jane Bleeg at (585) 315-2406, or e-mail, info@rochestercohousing.org. You can also register at rochestercohousing.org. Bleeg says that Flower City Cohousing has looked at several potential sites in

Rochester and is committed to building the community in the city. The Flower City community’s structure, including how it would be run, will be decided by the participants, Bleeg says, although some cohousing developments are run as co-ops. The goal is for participants to move into the Flower City community by the end of 2017, Bleeg says. Flower City has a graduated membership process. You can participate free for three months and then if you’re still not sure you want to join permanently, you can become an associate member for a $250 fee. After that point, you could move up to become a full equity participant, where the fee varies.

Fewer students at transit center In a strong response to an ongoing problem with young people fighting at the new transit center, the Regional Transit Service and the Rochester City School District plan to significantly reduce the number of students who will be able to transfer downtown. Concerns about student and customer safety and customer satisfaction are cited as the main reasons for making the changes, which will occur in two phases. About 1,600 students pass through the transit center in the morning and again in the afternoon, RTS CEO Bill Carpenter said at a press event on Tuesday. In the first phase, which is already under way, RTS began providing many of those students with RTS Express Service, which means they don’t have to transfer at the center. The first phase applies to students attending All City High, Charlotte, East, Edison, Franklin, Monroe, Northeast and Northwest, School of the Arts, and Wilson Commencement. When the changes are fully implemented on Monday, May 4, about 2,100 students will bypass the transit center in total. Phase two applies to students who attend Rochester Career Mentoring, School 58, University Prep, and Rochester Early College. They will use the RTS Express Service, too.

S andra Doorley’s name is now an obscenity
among some local Democrats. She is that woman: the betrayer, their former champion of justice who was seduced by the dark side. What did she do? Doorley, the Monroe County district attorney, changed her party enrollment from Democrat to Republican, announcing the switch at a this-really-isn’ta-big-deal press conference in January. But for Democrats, it is a very big deal. Doorley was their longshot candidate who defeated her Republican challenger in 2011 despite being heavily outspent. And she was proof that Democrats can win a countywide office despite an almost total absence stretching back to when Hands Across America was a thing.
Dems have a golden opportunity this year. Can they stop squabbling long enough to take advantage? POLITICS | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN 6 CITY
MARCH 25-31, 2015
For former Rochester Mayor Bill Johnson, Doorley’s switch is a painful commentary on the state of the county Democratic Party. “You cannot put any good face on it,” he says. “Sandra Doorley’s defection was a huge black eye. You just don’t let that caliber candidate defect to the other side. I mean, what does that say?” Democrats say that they were blindsided by Doorley’s announcement — another indication, Johnson says, of the party’s weakened state. Talking to Democrats about the condition of the local party is a frustrating sport. It is in disarray, Johnson says. It is in a great spot, says party chair Dave Garretson. It is on the ascendancy, according to former chair Joe Morelle. It is rebuilding, say other Dems. Years of observation, though, could lead you to the conclusion that the Democratic Party exists in a state of permanent turbulence; there are rivalries and turf wars over socioeconomics, race, neighborhoods, loyalties, you name it. And every now and then something happens to further churn the waters. And because it’s just how Democrats are, the conflict plays out publicly, leading many to understandably deduce that the party is in big trouble. “There are few public disagreements among Republicans. Ever,” Morelle says. “It’s just their construct. They go behind closed doors — they may scream and shout there. But when they come out, they’re unified. “Our approach, historically, has been different,” he says. “We just air grievances. We’re like the big, rowdy Italian family; you’re just going to say whatever the hell you want to say.” Doorley is a symptom, but fueling the current heightened state of tension is the political rise of Mayor Lovely Warren. (Warren did not return calls for comment on this story.)
It’s clear that there is residual resentment among some Warren supporters — and Warren occasionally mentions it, too — because the party did not unanimously unite behind Warren after she won the 2013 mayoral primary. Instead, some supporters of former Mayor Tom Richards ran an insurgent campaign to try to keep him in office. “That was particularly stinging,” Garretson says. But some Democrats point out that the Warren team did essentially the same thing by primarying Richards in the first place, when he was the party’s first choice. Some say that the internal discord that dogs Dems has kept the party from gaining ground countywide. If that’s true, then this period of intensified infighting could not come at a worse time for the party as it heads into a critically important election season.
Democrats wear their messiness
with pride. It is a byproduct, they say, of inclusiveness — all voices, all skin colors, all perspectives are welcome in the party. “The Democratic Party, it’s like America,” Garretson says. “We’re that diversity. Sometimes it’s noisy, but we have a common purpose and we find a way to make it work. That’s who we are. That’s our strength.”
You cannot put any good face on it. Sandra Doorley’s defection was a huge black eye.” BI L L JOH N SON
But it’s a strength that hasn’t won elections. Democrats can talk about restoring child-care funding in Monroe County, bringing integrity to county government, and holding COMIDA recipients to their job-creation promises — none of it matters unless and until they start winning. Democrats have continually lost ground in the County Legislature. They’ve held the county executive’s office exactly one time and for one term since the position came into being. The county clerk, the sheriff, and now the DA are all Republicans. And Democrats control only two towns: Brighton and Irondequoit, although they have made inroads in some suburban villages. And though they do a lot of complaining about current County Executive Maggie Brooks, they haven’t given her a truly competitive race in her three terms. Johnson, who ran for county executive against Brooks in 2003, points out that Working Families candidate Patrick Christopher won about 25 percent of the vote against Brooks in 2007 — a year that Democrats sat out the county executive race. “I’ll never forget that,” Johnson says. “What if we had run a credible candidate? Was she that vulnerable? We could have capitalized on it. I mean, the guy didn’t even campaign.” “These political parties exist for one reason and for one reason only: to win elections,” he says. “You’ve got to start winning some. Not the ones where there’s no contest: the uncontested seat for South District Councilman in the City of Rochester. You’ve got to start chipping away at the Republican Party’s domination.”
Another consideration: fund raising. It’s tough to convince donors to back a party that seems to have established a permanent encampment on the losing side.
Garretson, the Democratic Party chair, says that many factors have converged to make the 2015 elections a game-changer for the party. The two biggest: Maggie Brooks can’t run again and all 29 County Legislature seats are up for grabs. Garretson says that he wants to run someone for every seat in the Legislature. A few people have already come forward, including former Rochester Police Chief James Sheppard, who is running to represent the 23rd District. Sheppard soundly defeated Mitch Rowe, the city’s director of planning zoning, for the endorsement of the district committee. As of this writing, Rowe hasn’t decided if he’ll force a primary. Some say that Rowe was recruited by Warren to challenge Sheppard, but Rowe says that it was his own decision to run. Getting people into the Lej is critical to building a Democratic farm team, Garretson says. Many local pols have used the Legislature as a gateway to higher office, including Maggie Brooks, Joe Morelle, David Gantt, and Congress member Louise Slaughter. Democrats have not yet unveiled their county executive candidate, but Garretson says that between three and five people are mulling a run. Names floating around include former Brighton Supervisor Sandra Frankel, former State Senator Ted O’Brien, and former Monroe County Legislator Vinnie Esposito.
It’s interesting to me that a lot of the voices of doom are the old guard.” RUTH SCOTT
The Democratic candidate will face Republican candidate Cheryl Dinolfo, the Monroe County clerk. Threatening to overshadow the county executive’s race, though, is the race for district attorney. Democrats, itching to take down Doorley, are trying to entice former DA Mike Green to run, and Garretson says that Green is considering it. “He told me that it’s the job that he loved most in his life,” Morelle says about Green. Garretson says that Doorley’s defection is an unexpected gift — although it is obviously his job to paint shiny colors on everything. Doorley, as a Dem, would likely have run unopposed this year, he says, despite the rumor that the GOP threatened to give Doorley a strong challenge unless she jumped sides. But now there will be a lively race that will drive people to the polls, he says. When that happens, Garretson says, history favors Democrats.
Garretson is confident that Dems will make gains this year. The local development corporation scandals; Republican cronyism and
flat-out rejection of any attempt at bipartisanship; and Brooks’ sleight of hand with property taxes have taken a toll, he insists. (Brooks often touts the county’s flat property tax rate, but the county compensates for that by raising fees, instituting chargebacks, and other maneuvers.) “If you live in Monroe County and you care about this community as I do, if you want this community to prosper, it’s time to turn the reigns over to someone else,” Garretson says. “And that means Democrats.” Of course, Republicans have operated this way for a long time with no electoral comeuppance. Dems and other insiders may boil with indignation about how the county runs things, but the voters, in general, seem to have a different opinion. Garretson says that the difference this year is that people, by his own observation, seem to have finally had enough. Johnson says that Dems, for long-term viability, have to start cultivating the next generation of Bright Young Things: candidates who have potential beyond a single office. “I think we really need to look beyond, ‘Can they just win their district?’” he says. “Do they have potential countywide or citywide?” New people bring new ideas and energy, he says, and may help the party move beyond moldy grudges.
Garretson says that conversations are taking place to heal some of the party’s selfinflicted wounds. The unfortunate decision by some to campaign for Richards after Warren won the primary, he says, caused hard feelings that have been difficult to overcome. continues on page 8

continues from page 7
“We’re having the quiet discussions to put those behind us,” he says. “I’m in constant contact with the mayor.” But it’s not difficult to see how the healing could be jeopardized if the party votes to support Molly Clifford, one of the orchestrators of the insurgent Richards campaign, in her City Council bid. Or by the fact that the 23rd Legislature District committee endorsed James Sheppard — who retired, but some believe was forced out as police chief by Warren — in his Legislature race. Another obstacle: the recent scandal at the Rochester Housing Authority, which has exacerbated the tensions between blacks and Latinos in the party. The agency’s Latino leader was replaced by City Council member Adam McFadden, an African American and Warren ally. (McFadden stepped down after the US Department of Housing and Urban Development said that he couldn’t stay on Council and lead the RHA.) Some insiders, too, are reading nefarious motives into Warren’s cooperation with county Republicans. Warren and Brooks do seem much closer and more willing to work together than some other mayors and county executives. And Warren got credit for breaking an impasse in the County Legislature early last year over the CityGate Costco project by reportedly convincing some Dems to vote with 8 CITY
MARCH 25-31, 2015
the GOP on a borrowing measure. Both sides wanted Costco, so you could say that Warren’s apparent intervention was an exercise in good government. But Lej Dems weren’t holding up the vote to kill Costco. Frustrated by years of Republicans barely acknowledging their existence, the Dems were holding out for an independent review of controversial county-linked local development corporations using the only bargaining chip they had. And offers by Dems to compromise by agreeing to pass the parts of the borrowing measure that were related to the Costco project were roundly rejected by the GOP. So from that angle, Warren’s actions could be viewed as undercutting the Legislature’s Democratic leadership. Some party insiders still make much of the Gantt-led walkout at the Democrats’ organizational meeting in 2014, though others say that incident is overblown because more black people stayed in the room than followed Gantt out. (David Gantt and other Democrats involved in the walkout either didn’t return calls or refused comment on this story.) Gantt was not specific about his reasons for the walkout, but he told his supporters at the time that he wanted to know what Democrats are going to do for the black community. Ruth Holland Scott, the first black woman to serve on City Council and a former City
Council president, says that she doesn’t blame Gantt if he is distrustful of the party. The Democratic Party hasn’t always behaved with integrity toward him, she says. “There were a lot of promises made to David when they wanted him to go out and turn out the voters, which he did and does very well because he knows how to do it,” Scott says. “And then those promises were not fulfilled. And so he has a right to be a little bit on edge.” Scott says that the party is going through a transition not unlike the upheaval it experienced decades ago when a younger wave replaced the party’s old guard. “We’re going from one generation to the next is what we’re really doing,” she says. “And I think I’m seeing a lot of activity by a lot of younger people. It’s interesting to me that a lot of the voices of doom are the old guard. Sometimes we forget where we came from.” Though she stops short of calling it a power struggle, Scott says that there are people jockeying for positions of power in the districts and committees. “I think at some point it will come together in perhaps one group that will hopefully lead the party,” she says. Former Mayor Bill Johnson says that Gantt’s walkout at the meeting is a bit baffling and self-defeating, since it prevented those two dozen or so Democrats from participating in the vote to choose a new party leader.
“You cannot say that the Monroe County Democratic Party is anti-black,” he says. “We’re not talking about Ferguson, Missouri, here. We’re not talking about a significant part of the population that’s been shut out from political involvement. There’s significant political involvement. It’s reflected in the number of people who have been successful at the polls. So it’s not a party that’s hostile to the interests of African Americans.” Democrats, Johnson says, need to look at the larger picture. “You don’t have time to fight with your friends,” he says. “We keep getting our brains beat out in these countywide elections. Can we put our whatever differences aside and come to work together?” Simeon Banister, head of the Henrietta Democratic Committee, says you can’t force people to get along. What you can do, he says, is work with the people who want to be part of revitalizing and growing the Democratic Party. “Folks that aren’t interested in coming together, you have to ask if they’re really valuable in the first place,” he says, adding that once Democrats start winning, the success will bring disparate voices together. “Who wants to fight for the rest of our lives?” says a Democratic committee member who did not support Warren’s bid for mayor. “I’ve got shit to do.”

That’s when the town closes off a section of Chili Avenue for its annual summer festival, the Chil-E Fest, which pulls residents from the surrounding neighborhoods into the center of town. Many residents arrive at the festival on foot, and then walk from the food booths to the concert stage to the firehouse to the classic car show in Chili Paul Village plaza, and then close out the night with a fireworks show before walking back to their homes. It’s a one-day explosion that town officials hope to, on a much smaller scale, turn into a way of life for residents of this west-side town. Roughly speaking, the busy hamlet sits along Chili Avenue between Paul and Chili-Scottsville roads. It’s packed with restaurants, small and large retailers, banks, hair salons, and other businesses. It’s also home to the town’s senior center and the Chili Farmers Market. But Chili Center feels less like the town’s heart and more like a place with a lot of businesses scattered around it. It’s disjointed, and there’s reason. The area developed over a period of decades, and with few guiding principles. Buildings lack consistency in appearance and are not arranged cohesively; some buildings sit right at the edge of the road while others are set back. And almost every building and plaza has its own entrance from the street. Chili Center isn’t very walkable, either. “A lot of Chili Center was developed prior to any real good codes in the town,” says Chili Supervisor David Dunning. “There was no real good planning process at the time, so it kind of got put together piecemeal.” The time has come, town leaders say, to change that. And the best way to start,
they say, is by developing a master plan for the hamlet. A steering committee is in place, and when the planning process is done, the town will have a blueprint for developing the hamlet into a pleasant, walkable town center filled with family friendly businesses and services, says David Cross, a town Planning Board member and a member of the steering committee. It’s a shift that committee members expect to take at least 20 years. Jim Leahy, a town resident, president of the Chili Fire Department, and steering committee member, says that the group wants Chili Center to evolve as a community destination: a place where older residents can walk around and grab a meal, or where families can bike and get an ice cream cone. The plan is in its earliest stages, but the steering committee does have some ideas of what it wants to study and what the plan needs to address. And as the effort unfolds, it’ll tie in to other plans that the town is working on, such as its bicycle and pedestrian plan, and other plans already completed, including Chili’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan and its Parks and Recreation Master Plan.

At the eastern gateway of Chili Center, just
a short distance from the Chili Avenue-Paul Road intersection, are three large retailers: Kmart, Target, and Wegmans. The stores embody typical suburban commercial development. They’re big, fronted by expansive parking lots, and disconnected from much of their surroundings. At first glance, they don’t seem to encourage a walkable town center. But the steering committee members see a big-picture role for the big-box retailers. The stores pull a lot of shoppers into the hamlet and, in the right environment, those customers could also support other businesses, Leahy says. The Wegmans at Chili Avenue and Paul Road is a big draw, he says. “People just go there,” Leahy says. “Leveraging that work, leveraging that destination with a bunch of smaller shops or medium-sized retail outlets to me makes sense.” The steering committee and town officials have identified other ways to breathe new life into Chili Center, too. Some are technical: the town could develop new codes and architectural standards specific to Chili Center, for example. (The town also has an Architectural Advisory Committee, which works alongside the planning and zoning boards.) “As we all know, buildings get old, people decide to remodel, redo things, tear it down, rebuild,” Dunning, the town supervisor, says. “When they do that we have the ability to step in and say ‘This is how we would like to see this now be done or redone.’” The town also owns a significant amount of land in Chili Center, Dunning says, and
the plan will lay out some uses for those properties. The plan will also examine the possibility of relocating the town’s outdated, undersized community center to Chili Center. It’s currently in North Chili, near the edge of the town. The town’s ongoing bicycle and pedestrian
master plan is important to Chili Center’s future. And it could be crucial for increasing non-automobile traffic in the hamlet, which is part of the town’s vision. Communities across Monroe County have developed similar plans, and the documents aren’t just sitting on shelves. Rochester’s bicycle master plan led to a proliferation of bike lanes on city streets, bike repair stands along heavily-used trails, and efforts to identify bike-friendly streets. Chili’s bike-pedestrian plan, which is still in its early stages, will help the town identify popular bicycle and pedestrian routes. It’ll also recommend ways to make those routes safer and more accommodating for walkers or cyclists, and ways to improve connections between different routes and paths. Right now, the town doesn’t have a good sense of where sidewalk improvements, bike lanes, or other pedestrian and cyclist infrastructure is needed, Dunning says. The plan will help town officials figure out which bike-pedestrian projects to prioritize. If town officials want to get state or federal funding for bike lanes or better sidewalks, they need to be able to show why each proposed project is crucial. Bicycle-pedestrian plans support those requests, and have helped other local communities get funding. “Without a plan,” Dunning says, “you’re not going to get anything.” rochestercitynewspaper.com

URBAN ACTION This week’s calls to action include the following events and activities. (All are free and open to the public, unless otherwise noted.)
Young Latina’s memoir discussed
Moving Beyond Racism Book Group will meet at 7 p.m. on Monday, April 6, to discuss the memoir, “When I Was Puerto Rican,” by Esmeralda Santiago. Born in Puerto Rico, Santiago tells how her brother was badly injured in an accident and her mother thought he would receive better care in New York City. But the family experiences difficulties with racism and language barriers that quickly shatter their images of what
the move to the US would mean for them. The meeting will be held at Barnes and Noble in Pittsford Plaza. It is not necessary to have read the book to join the discussion.
Mentors needed
The Judicial Process Commission is seeking volunteers to become mentors for people who are leaving prison and re-entering society. Mentors coach individuals for about an hour each week. Training is required and will be held on Monday, April 27, and Tuesday, April 28, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., at 1921 Norton Street. Interested volunteers should contact Valerie White-Whittick: 325-7727.

Parenting and secularism
The Brighton Memorial Library will present “Parenting Beyond Belief: on Raising Ethical, Caring Kids without Religion,” a book discussion at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, March 31. The book includes the writings of several authors who discuss building values in children and dealing with a larger society that sometimes challenges secular values. The book will be reviewed by Barry Swan, madrikh (leader) of Beth Haskalah-the Rochester Society for Humanistic Judaism. The event will be held at the library, 2300 Elmwood Avenue.
The article, “Universal health care for ailing New York,” incorrectly states that State Assembly members David Gantt and Harry Bronson are the only Democrats who support the New York Health Act. It should have said that Gantt and Bronson are the only local Dems in favor. A total of 77 Assembly Dems support the bill.

The late night nosh [ CHOW HOUND ] BY KATIE LIBBY
When it comes to late-night food options in Rochester, your choices are typically limited to whether you want cheeseburgers or hot dogs on your garbage plate. Monroe Kabob (201 Monroe Avenue) is offering something different for those looking for the late-night nosh. Monroe Kabob is also open for lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday, however, it stays open till 2:30 a.m., Thursday through Saturday — and the restaurant just happens to be situated between two popular bars on Monroe Avenue (location, location, location). Ibrahim Mohammad, the shop’s owner and chef, is originally from Afghanistan, but the influences for his menu come from India and Pakistan as well. For starters, you’ll find traditional samosas — deep-fried pastries filled with potatoes and green peas — on the menu for $1.99. Those are also available with chicken ($2.99). Naan is available in a variety of forms: garlic ($1.99), cheese ($2.99), chicken ($2.49), and Keema ($2.49), which is stuffed with minced lamb and herbs. The appetizer kabob special ($4.99)
includes a vegetable samosa, and a variety of pakoras (prepared by dipping vegetables or cheese in chickpea flour and deepfrying) including paneer (cheese), onion, aloo (potato), and spinach. The chicken, lamb, and beef dishes are all served with a choice of rice, chickpeas, or naan. Biryani (meat or vegetables cooked with heavy cream, herbs, nuts, and raisins) is available with chicken, lamb, or beef (all $6.99) as well as vegetarian ($4.99). If you’re looking for something more portable, the lamb seekh wrap ($6.99 — and about a foot long, by the way) features fresh naan, lamb, yogurt, and onions. The bread and kabobs are made to order in a tandoor oven. Monroe Kabob recently expanded — the business next door closed and they took over that space. The new space includes a few tables to sit down, eat your food, and people-watch. Take-out and delivery is also available. Monroe Kabob is located at 201 Monroe Avenue, and is open Monday through Wednesday, 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 12 a.m.; and Thursday through Saturday, 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. 413-1611.

Somehow the word “epic” feels inadequate in describing Rochester band Talking Under Water’s EP, “Tossing & Turning.” The album gets off to a gentle start: all peaceful and harmonious like The Shangri-Las on methadone. It’s at this point you say to yourself, “Gosh, this sure is all peaceful and harmonious.” And then the sound comes down — this is where I was going to insert “epic.” Give this record a spin and hear all the sonic thunder that envelopes the bands poignant simplicity in reverb rivaled only by the snare drum in the elevator shaft stunt on the last verse of “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” There’s plenty of thick ‘n’ juicy guitar, cello, piano, and drums all swimming in an apocalyptic ether that sounds … epic. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Multi-dimensional guitarist, Kire Najdovski occupies an unparalleled stratospheric level of technical skill and power, like a less noodly Jeff Beck. Having lent his guitar to more limited settings — like his work with David Letterman’s Al Chez — “Arrival” marks the arrival of the sonic shriek and fusion found in this Macedonian native’s fleet finger work. It’s all instrumental, so the story you hear is your own. There is the bang and twang of a ton of great guitar players in this jerk-water burgh, but none with the sledgehammer finesse of this cat.

The better to hear you with Kaylin Cervini YOU CAN FIND MORE ABOUT THE SINGER-SONGWRITER AND HER NEW EP, “BREADCRUMBS,” AT FACEBOOK.COM/ KAYLINCERVINIMUSIC [ INTERVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE
The music on singer-songwriter Kaylin Cervini’s new EP, “Breadcrumbs,” floats on the healing end of hurt. Hurt from a tragic loss (that served as the kick start to her career) and whatever hurt her audience learns to confront by this young lady’s fearless example. Cervini’s music also circumvents the everyday humdrum of songs steeped in reality — you can hear it in the power of her voice. That’s not to say she avoids real life, rather Cervini creates fairy tales in which tragedy, love lost, love found, and so on, are exorcised with a childlike wonder and efficiency. Whether dressed up in full band regalia or stripped down to voice and guitar, this 23-year-old artist burns hot … red hot. You see, she’s always had a thing for Little Red Riding Hood. 14 CITY MARCH 25-31, 2015
Cervini stopped by the City Newspaper offices on her way to grandma’s house to discuss her start, turning tragedy around, and living in a fairy tale. An edited transcript of the interview follows. City: How did you get your start? Kaylin Cervini: I started writing when I was
17, because my cousin was shot and killed. He was my best friend at the time.
So his death lit the spark to begin?
Well, I had always sung and was learning to play the guitar at the time actually. How did you turn this tragic event around musically?
A teacher of mine turned me on to the Japanese saying, “We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey.” And for some reason the quote just inspired me immediately after my cousin’s death. It inspired my first song, “Burn It Up.” If this tragedy hadn’t befallen you, would you still have taken a musical path?
I’d like to think that I would have. But I can
I still write about finding light in the darkness. I go back to that whole magical idea. People tell me my head is in the clouds, I’m living in a fairy tale. When you’re a kid and you hear all those stories, anything is possible. That’s the mentality I like to live by because: one, you can turn bad into good, and two, I want to be a musician, I want to sing. So for me to live in any other world but a fairy tale, I wouldn’t get anywhere. I have to believe that anything’s possible. There’s still a certain ironic darkness to fairy tales, don’t you think?
Some of my music has a darker feel to it, but it’s not bluntly obvious. What’s a fairy tale you identify with?
I’ve always had a thing with Little Red Riding Hood. She represents innocence, but innocence taken away. What’s next for Little Red … I mean Kaylin Cervini?
I’m working on a new CD and would like to go on tour. But that’s rather expensive. I need to get some money together. Or a fairy godmother?
What I need is a big pumpkin and a fairy godmother to turn it into a big carriage to take me on my way.

Hip-hop is often a narrative about a performer’s own personal struggles, but sometimes the best songs are just about having a good time. Local rapper Vicke Vyto delivers fluid verses on his new single, “Happy Hour,” a syncopated party starter that celebrates the moment of a night out. The 26-year-old rapper’s repertoire consists of several mixtapes that dial up jams including “Ignorant Pains.” Vyto drops lines like, “They lie to me by telling me the truth, first rule of truth you never find one that’s absolute” over a dazzling beat that makes it sound Kanye-esque. This show is the “Happy Hour” single release party. Zey_Musiq, Grande Wop, and Ryan Cycles share the bill.

They have since become regulars on Keillor’s show — a fitting union for the duos’ comfortable and thoughtful storytelling. Based in Virginia, Robin and Linda have crossed the country umpteen times at a steady clip, managing to release 23 albums along the way. Their most recent, “Back 40” (released in 2013), celebrates the 40 years the couple has been doing this. With experience and ease, these two have honed a sound that is both timeless and relevant.
The Chinchillas occupy the space located somewhere in between honky-tonk’s “Aww shucks” and rock ‘n’ roll’s “Aww f**k it.” The band is the alt to the nth degree and the bang to the American beer joint’s textbook twang. The Chinchillas are kinda, sorta like The Replacements without as big of a death wish. Hysterically deadpan and insightful, front man Pete Anvelt is one of the best songwriters I know. And now The Chinchillas celebrate 30 years of rockin’ and rollin,’ singing about plane crashes and Genesee Beer while guzzling said local brew in joints that look like a plane crashed into them. Join the Chinchillas as they blow out 30 candles and boogie real slow with the blue lights way down low.
Called “a once-in-a-generation opera singer” by the New York Times, mezzo-soprano Stephanie Blythe will perform works by Poulenc, Ferre, Brel, Britten, and Coward as part of the Eastman School of Music’s Kilbourn Concert Series. Blythe has performed with companies around the world, including the Royal Opera in London, Deutsche Oper Berlin, and the Opera National de Paris, along with annual engagements at the Metropolitan Opera. For the Kilbourn Hall performance, Blythe will be joined by pianist Warren Jones, the principal pianist for Camerata Pacifica. Jones has performed with numerous well-known international vocalists such as Denyce Graves, Kiri Te Kanawa, and Anthony Dean Griffey.

Anti-heroes are all the rage. But before Tony Soprano, Walter White, and Frank Underwood, there was Bull McCabe. He is the definitive 20th-century anti-hero: a rugged farmer, a loving father, a brutish bully who stops at nothing to establish his empire of acreage. McCabe is the force behind John B. Keane’s 1965 rural Irish drama, “The Field,” an Irish Players of Rochester production playing through March 29 at the Multi-use Cultural Community Center. For newcomers to Irish theater, “The Field” is a blessing. Traditional Irish elements flood the stage: pub life, Irish ballads, storytelling, Celtic music, and family traditions. It ruminates over many of Keane’s common themes — controversial in his day — who exposed the shifting socio-economic and religious
tensions beneath the everyday lives of those in Ireland. Besides a few jabs at the Catholic church and local law enforcement, “The Field” is relatively light on politics. Rather, Keane weaves a humanistic tale that illuminates the dirt of the individual — men and women with secrets, sweeping their moral complexities under the rug. And let them lay there, Keane seems to say; let the ghosts of the past sleep. Bull McCabe (Bill Alden) is a smalltown Irish farmer looking to acquire a field adjacent to his own acreage. He and his son have grazed on it for five years, raising cattle and recuperating the once abandoned soil. This field features a natural water source, too — a critical element lacking in McCabe’s land — and when Mrs. Butler (Barbara Lobb) decides to sell it, McCabe’s harsh hands attempt to strong arm a low ball offer. Mrs. Butler, however, doesn’t play ball. Local actor Bill Alden is the latest to fill Bull McCabe’s menacing boots (previous actors include Ray McAnally, Brian Dennehy, and Richard Harris). For this play to work, the actor’s performance must be sharp and believable, and Alden hits it out of the park. He embodies Bull McCabe with a ferocious energy that never quits. It’s
Tyler Lucero plays Tadhg, McCabe’s son and heir to almost-nothing. His character is mostly a muscle, but in a pivotal scene between father and son, Lucero provides a poignant juxtaposition to Alden’s otherwise completely ravenous character. The two talk of the world, women, and the past — and it is heartfelt. Tadhg’s balance adds a much needed depth to McCabe, who without it, could suffer from one-dimensionality. The rest of the cast works well enough together. Ken Dauer plays pub owner and auctioneer Mick Flanagan, an obsequious bystander to McCabe’s path of rage. Kathy Dauer is Maimie Flanagan, Mick’s wife, barkeep, and mother of nine children. She’s flirty and strong willed — it’s a shame she isn’t given more to work with in this play. We never see all nine of the Flanagan children, but we do see three little ones (Evelynn Marie Sullivan, Justin Alexander Sullivan, and Milo Ames) and an eldest, Leamy Flanagan (Kiefer Schenk). Leamy’s role is small, but the character excels, adding a moral backbone to Keane’s otherwise modernist narrative. Director Jean Gordon Ryon plays “The Field” straight. There’s no flash or stylistic revisionism here; instead, she offers a production with a classic vision that is taut and well executed. When the play is funny it garners laughs, when it’s intense it stiffens backs. At times, I wished the performance would’ve taken more chances, but, otherwise, I was rarely left unsatisfied. Ryon’s production is rich and exhibits hard work. On May 20, Ryon and her crew hit the road when “The Field” will perform at the Acting Irish International Theatre Festival in Cincinnati. In the end, “The Field” is a story of moral dissonance. McCabe is a menacing villain, sure, but the audience must consider him. After all, doesn’t McCabe have a point? Who has more right to this field than he? When he screams at an outof-towner, “You don’t know about land. You’re a stranger,” it sounds old-fashioned, presumptive and ignorant, but at the same time, it is completely understandable. Bull McCabe the best type of anti-hero: One that we can all relate to.

• Book Discussion
In celebration of Women’s History Month, the Rochester Black Arts Council and many participating artists present “A Mothering Blackness: Emancipation Proclamation.” The multimedia exhibit challenges revisionist and biased perceptions of the “afrikan wombman,” and swirls together visual art, spoken-word pieces, musical performances, and films. On Tuesdays, continuing through May 19, the exhibit organizers will screen films that explore stories and journeys of African women and children. “A Mothering Blackness: Emancipation Proclamation” will be on display through May 19 at the Frederick Douglass Resource Center, 36 King Street. Exhibit hours are 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., Thursday through Sunday, and continues through May 19. $10.

“Carroña (Carrion),” by Javier Pérez, is included in the new Contemporary Art + Design Wing at Corning Museum of Glass. PHOTO PROVIDED

The Corning Museum of Glass opened its new Contemporary Art + Design Wing to the public on Friday, March 20. Following remarks and a ribbon cutting, those in attendance were released to explore the bright and airy space, which adds 26,000 square feet of exhibition area as well as a 500-seat live glass demonstration facility to the museum. The rectangular building, designed by Thomas Phifer and situated at the north end of the existent museum, includes a central freeform space divided into five connecting galleries by elegantly curving concrete walls. Because few pieces in the collection are meant to be hung on the wall, the architect was freed from the typical flat walls design of a gallery space. Massive glass panels make up one wall of the building, providing an 20 CITY MARCH 25-31, 2015
all-seasons view of the one-acre Museum Green, which was prettily dusted with some powdered-sugar snowfall during our visit. The entire roof of the gallery is made of skylight panels in a seemingly random pattern of opaque, translucent, and transparent glass, producing a calming, subtly dappled, natural light in the galleries. This light is filtered through 206 thin concrete beams resting overhead on the serpentine gallery walls. Even on the overcast morning of the opening, the space felt like a bright sanctuary. Each of the displayed works has been given ample breathing room, with lots of space for visitors to negotiate the sculpture as well as one another, even on a busy day. Each of the five galleries and their contents
are themed. The Nature Gallery contains lifelike, oversized still lifes of glass petals and fruit, and Katherine Gray’s “Forest Glass” — three trees made of green, clear, and brown drinking glasses arranged on shelves, which was inspired by the historic process of creating glass using timber-powered furnaces. The Body and Narrative Gallery focuses on some works inspired by the human body, and others inspired by human experience, memory, and story. A particularly elegant
work in this room is Lino Tagliapietra’s “Endeavor,” a group of floating glass gondolas, nearly abstract and suspended dreamily from above. The colorful work is inspired by the boats that gather in the Venetian Lagoon for the annual Festa della Sensa. The History and Material Gallery presents works that focus on the manipulation of traditional forms in glass, and shows off its material properties. Located in this space, “Carroña (Carrion),” by Javier Pérez, is a dramatic work of a smashed traditional Venetian chandelier, its crimson bits scavenged by crows. The piece is a statement on the decline of the traditional glass industry in Murano, Italy. Other representations and artistic interpretations of this traditional glass chandelier provide for a fun hunt throughout the wing. The Design Gallery focuses on functional glass vessels, furniture, lighting, and design art from the last 25 years. A changing sequence of large-scale installations will be presented in the Special Temporary Projects Gallery. And artwork is also smartly on display in the bright Porch, and in the Promenade, which runs along the wing’s wall closest to the rest of the museum.
CMOG is home to a collection of 50,000 works in glass, some of which were relocated to the new wing and given more space to shine. About 20 percent of the objects placed in the new wing are new acquisitions or are on display for the first time. Some of the highlights include works by Dale Chihuly, Roni Horn, Karen LaMonte, Beth Lipman, and Klaus Moje. The space also includes pieces by artists not known for work in glass, including a glass tire by Robert Rauschenberg, and “Constellation,” an installation by Kiki Smith, which is on loan to CMOG until March 2016. This latter work is installed on the floor at the far end of the Special Temporary Projects Gallery, behind a glass barrier, but it would have been nice to have been able to walk around the work and see a bit more detail. The first hot glass demonstration in the new, state-of-the-art Amphitheater Hot Shop took place at noon on opening day, with CMOG master glassmaker George Kennard, and several team members, creating a dragon vessel for an almost packed house. The space boasts seating for 500 people, between the amphitheater and 360 degree balcony; a spacious work space and stage; and four large-screen televisions to maximize detailed viewing. The Hot Shop can accommodate the creation of large-scale works, with a furnace that can melt 1,000 pounds of glass and 13 annealing ovens, among other amenities. Museum staffers aim for the space to be used for educational purposes as well as to serve visiting artists. While visiting the museum, I had the opportunity to gain a better appreciation for the dexterity and coordination involved in glass blowing when I was invited to make a small ornament (with a lot of help). I also got to explore the older collections, which boast items representing every thinkable way that glass has been used. Corning’s collection spans the globe and history, from ancient vessels to of-themoment artwork, and features displays on scientific and technological developments in glass and wondrous examples of technical and creative prowess throughout various art movements. And one fun but unexpected part of exploring CMOG is making a game of spotting how many mundane ways glass is utilized in the beautifully designed, industrial buildings — even the steps on some of the staircases are made of the simultaneously sturdy and fragile material.

DANCE | MOVEMENT AND DANCE WEEKEND
Serious dancers are always on the look-out for noteworthy instructors and inexpensive classes; Rochester dancers, take note. Thursday, March 26, through Sunday, March 29, is Movement and Dance Weekend by Nazareth College Department of Theatre and Dance, a huge part of which consists of an exciting array of master classes taught by accomplished dancers, choreographers, and company directors. Classes are, however, open to all skill levels and include floor ballet, Pilates, contemporary ballet, Laban Movement, musical theatre dance, Afro-Cuban, and more. An individual class is only $5; six classes cost $25; and Nazareth students receive $2 off with college identification. Ticket sales begin Friday at 11 a.m. in the upper lobby of the Nazareth College Arts Center for that day’s classes. Registration opens at 9 a.m. on Saturday and at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday. The weekend also includes two dance concerts: The Nazareth College Spring Dance Concert showcases work from six guest artists — budding choreographers to seasoned professionals — who created pieces in a variety of styles for Nazareth faculty and students to perform. A highlight will be New York City-based artist Daniel Gwirtzman’s contemporary piece, “Together,” in which dancers are literally connected throughout the duration of the work. Look for Heather Roffe — Assistant Professor and Program Director of Nazareth’s dance department, a member of Futurpointe Dance, and organizer of the weekend’s festivities — in a Gwirtzman duet. Spring Dance Concert takes place Thursday and Friday evenings at 7 p.m. in the Studio Theater of the Arts Center. On Saturday at 7 p.m., Rochester’s Phoenix Dance Company offers up traditional Chinese dances plus a lecture with question time in the Art’s Center Studio Theatre A-48. Tickets are $5 cash.

FILM | REEL PADDLERS FILM FESTIVAL
FASHION | PEPPERMINT: SEWN SEEDS
SPECIAL EVENT | GREATER ROCHESTER PEEP SHOW
On Tuesday, March 31, the Reel Paddlers Film Festival comes to Rochester’s Swiftwater Brewing Company. The touring festival’s stop is hosted by the Finger Lakes Ontario Watershed Paddler’s Club. The films explore the world of paddle sports in all its iterations, from whitewater kayaking, and transcontinental canoe trips across Canada, to the drama of dam removal in the U.S. and humorously snarky examples of how not to steal a kayak. Appealing to engaged naturalists, vicariously adventuresome landlubbers, and any looking for inspiration for the upcoming whitewater season, the festival’s films epitomize both the unity and the diversity of the outdoor paddle sports community. And where else could this kind of thing be held but at a local farm brewery? Tickets are limited, and can be purchased at Swiftwater.
Peppermint teams up with World Hair and Restaurant Good Luck for this third annual showcase displaying the fashion expertise of local Rochester designers. Tanvi Asher, who created the show, will be showing her spring ready-to-wear designs and latest couture bridal gowns. Designs by Josean Vargas and Katrina Elliott will also be shown. A raffle with more than 30 prize packages from local businesses will be drawn for, and Nick Giordano will provide music for the afternoon show held at Good Luck. Part of the proceeds from the showcase will benefit Girls Rock! Rochester and Verona Street Animal Society.
Calm down, it’s not that kind of peep show. This show will feature submitted works of art made with Marshmallow Peeps or variations on that theme. More than 50 works are expected to be displayed at the Webster Community Center, ranging from colored dioramas, to peep-themed art and marshmallow sculptures. The various submissions will be on display at the March 28 and 29 show, and will win awards based on the votes of the attendees: “peeple’s choice” style. Admission to the show is free, but voting requires tokens. The money raised, by donation and from voting tokens, will be donated to the Webster Community Chest Food Cupboard.
Peppermint: Sewn Seeds will take place on Sunday, March 29, at Good Luck, 50 Anderson Avenue. 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. (show starts at 2 p.m.). $30. inspiredtable. restaurantgoodluck.com. — BY JONATHAN MEAD

THEATER | “MARY POPPINS”
A genuinely homegrown production, RAPA Family Theatre’s “Mary Poppins” stars more than 40 Rochesterbased professional performers, including Kaitlyn Baldwin as Mary Poppins, Brynn Tyszka as Winifred Banks, and Jeff Andrews as Bert. The show is directed by Eric Vaughn Johnson, and continues through this weekend. Flying, magical nannies, while uncommon in everyday life, have been known to produce obedience and joy in fictional children. Whether “Mary Poppins” has a similar effect on the real kids in the audience is anyone’s guess. RAPA Family Theatre’s “Mary Poppins” continues Saturday, March 28, and Sunday, March 29, at the Kodak Center for Performing Arts, 200 West Ridge Road. 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday; 2 p.m. on Sunday. $25-$45 (but only tuppence a bag, of course). kodakcenter.org/shows; rapatheatre.org. — BY JONATHAN MEAD

The gun show “The Gunman”
Love”). Two-time Oscar winner Sean Penn is the latest AARP candidate to receive the Morel virility treatment, typically consisting of genre clichés, women as pawns, questionable ethics, and decent action smothered by too much expository chitchat. And that, in a nutshell, is “The Gunman,” another dull, overstuffed thriller about a repentant killer murdering even more people in order to make things right-ish. Penn stars as Jim Terrier, who we first meet in 2006 as a security advisor for a mining company in the unstable Democratic Republic of the Congo. By day the former Special Forces soldier watches over the aid workers, by night he beds a beautiful doctor named Annie (Italy’s Jasmine Trinca, “The Best of Youth”), and by later that night he freelances as a hitman. It’s after pulling the trigger on one particularly highprofile assassination that Terrier is forced “into the wind” and out of the country, leaving Annie behind with no explanation. But there are enough furtive glances and dirty looks in the hilariously unsubtle
(R), DIRECTED BY PIERRE MOREL NOW PLAYING [ REVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO
It’s beyond heartbreaking when wealthy, middleaged white men can’t find work as action heroes, so cheers to French filmmaker Pierre Morel for singlehandedly doing something to address their plight. After announcing his arrival with 2004’s entertainingly dumb “District B13,” Morel went on to reinvent Liam Neeson’s career (2008’s “Taken”), then — well, he kept John Travolta busy for a little while (2010’s “From Paris With

SEE
Penn himself, presumably lending some of his firsthand social-activism knowledge to the 1981 noir source material by the late Jean-Patrick Manchette, but anything he’s trying to impart to us just gets lost in the unnecessarily complicated plot and its hackneyed dialogue. Despite its lofty trappings, the film’s standard-issue conflict pretty much boils down to who will ultimately get to keep having sex with Annie. Trinca frets and angers very photogenically, yet the question of whether Annie truly matters beyond her gossamer

opening scenes to telegraph exactly who’s behind Terrier’s banishment, and if you’ve ever seen a talkie before, you’ll also figure out why. Flash-forward eight years: Terrier is back in the Congo, doing humanitarian work of his own, when an attempt on his life sends him around the globe looking for answers from his one-time comrades. Stage legend Mark Rylance plays Cox, Terrier’s former boss, now working in a glass-andsteel high-rise doing — oh, I don’t remember; like it matters. And Oscar winner Javier Bardem totally hams it up as Felix, Terrier’s obvious frenemy who is now married to Annie, naturally. “I need to find out who wants me dead before they find me again,” Terrier helpfully announces, and which he proceeds to do, but embarking on a multinational killing spree in order to save your own guilty ass really doesn’t give an audience much on which to hang its collective hat.

Three’s company [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
“Reflections Unheard: Black “Insurgent” Women in Civil Rights” (PG-13), DIRECTED BY (NR), DIRECTED BY NEVLINE NNAJI SCREENS SUNDAY, MARCH 29, 6:30 P.M. AT THE LITTLE A PANEL DISCUSSION TO FOLLOW
frocks is answered when one Kevlar vest becomes available to them both and Terrier can’t strap himself into it fast enough. Or perhaps that lack of chivalry was just Terrier’s brain thingy acting up. The script goes to great lengths to establish a medical impediment for Terrier, its only apparent purpose to prolong scenes that aspire to be tense but just feel dragged out. Fortunately, the location scenery is stunningly lush, shot in far-flung spots like Catalonia and South Africa by Spanish cinematographer Flavio Martínez Labiano. No vista, however, can distract from the crime of wasting the talents of a cast of this caliber, one that also includes British treasures Ray Winstone and Idris Elba, the latter not even speaking until nearly 90 minutes into the film. And while it shouldn’t come as any surprise that Penn does the best he can with what he’s given to build upon, the 54-year-old also acquits himself during the heavily edited action sequences, his capable fighting moves rooted in Israeli self-defense techniques known as Krav Maga. But “CGI body?” is something I wrote in my notes, because the man’s lived-in face does nothing to prepare one for his impressive biceps and gorgeously muscled torso, which Morel opts to showcase whenever possible. (Another note: “Shower!”) Sadly, Penn’s marble physique might be the sole highlight of “The Gunman,” armed with such firepower but merely shooting blanks.
Closing out The Little Theatre’s Women’s History Month film series, “Reflections Unheard: Black Women in Civil Rights” examines the crucial role of AfricanAmerican women in the fight for civil rights. Director Nevline Nnaji uses archival footage and interviews with many of the activists, sitting down with female former members of groups like Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee to the Black Panthers, letting the women speak about the sexism they faced from society at large and within their own community. The film is a low budget effort, and it shows in the rough-aroundthe-edges production values, but that does nothing to diminish the importance of the story it tells. Listening to the women talk about fighting for their place at the table, against largely male leaders who believed that taking up the cause of women’s rights would splinter the civil rights movement, gives an idea of the amount of work and the delicate push-and-pull balance it takes to truly achieve change.
Shailene Woodley in “Insurgent.” PHOTO COURTESY LIONSGATE
ROBERT SCHWENTKE NOW PLAYING
Another in the line of adaptations of dystopian Young-Audlt novels hastily greenlit by studios hoping to capitalize on the success of the “Hunger Games” franchise, the “Divergent” series is precisely the variety that gives the genre a bad name. More than just hopelessly generic, the basic premise of this world — that in a post-apocalyptic future, society is split into factions based on a single personality trait — is deeply stupid. The first film alternated exclusively between exposition and training montages, while “Insurgent” concerns itself with a plot by an icily villainous leader (Kate Winslet) to get her hands on a mysterious box that will supposedly provide her with the means to destroy so-called divergents (individuals who have characteristics attributed to each of the five factions), who she believes threaten the social order. Naturally, the box can only be opened by one of these special few, necessitating the capture of our divergent heroine Tris (Shailene Woodley), since she’s the most special of all the specials. As the second chapter settles into this world, it allows us the opportunity to consider how nonsensical this universe really is, and aside from some nice effects work, director Robert Schwentke brings little of previous helmer Neil Burger’s visual flair to distract us. Woodley and the rest of the cast do what they can, but they’re left stranded by the dopey material. Whereas “The Hunger Games” finds plenty of real world resonance (quotes from those books were seen scrawled on signs held by protesters in Ferguson), the allegory behind “Insurgent” is depressingly empty.
“Wild Tales” (R), DIRECTED BY DAMIÁN SZIFRON OPENS FRIDAY AT THE LITTLE AND PITTSFORD CINEMA
An exhilarating, wickedly funny anthology film, the Oscar-nominated “Wild Tales” presents six separate tales centered around acts of unbridled revenge. Each story follows a protagonist who takes their desire for vengeance against the injustices of life (both large and small) to outrageous extremes: from its opening, about passengers aboard a plane realizing they all have a very specific connection in common, to the final story — about an extravagant wedding reception which takes a turn once the bride discovers the groom as cheated on her. That final story was so hilariously deranged that I found myself immediately skipping back on my screener to watch it again. Argentinian writer-director Damián Szifron is a master of tone, coming across as a mix between Pedro Almodovar (who acts as producer on the film) and Quentin Tarantino. While his film appears to wallow in the ugliness of humanity, it somehow avoids coming across as too misanthropic or nihilistic (aside from one story — about a rich man who uses his wealth to cover up a hit-and-run accident committed by his son — which does little to hide the bitterness beneath its simmering class resentments). On the contrary, while it doesn’t exactly paint a flattering portrait of humanity, Szifron argues that it’s our capacity to do both good as well as evil that makes us all so terribly human.

Loveable Location on Linden 724 Linden Street The mid-19th century home at 724 Linden Street exists in the cozy warren of residential streets between South Clinton Avenue and South Goodman Street, in the Highland Park neighborhood. This area provides a full spectrum of urban living—restaurants, bars, shopping, parks, and even a cinema are within walking distance, all drawn together with a distinctive personality. A neighborhood this unique commands homes filled with charm and character, and 724 Linden Street is no exception. The inspired exterior color scheme—cream with purple accents—immediately catches your eye and makes you take notice of this inviting home. That vein of historic personality mixed with distinctive style continues through the inside of the home. A bright enclosed porch with a sturdy tile floor invites you into the main living area in the front of the house. The living room, retaining its original hardwood floors and gumwood trim, is an inviting space to entertain or relax, and provides access to the additional first floor rooms, including direct kitchen access. This room could also function as a formal dining room. Two additional, versatile rooms branch off of the main living room. The larger space spans the front of the house. With wall-to-wall carpeting and warm colors, it could function as a parlor, family room, or perhaps even a first-floor bedroom. The smaller space is on the side of the house, accessible via both the carpeted room and butler’s pantry, and is well-suited for a home office or den. A highlight of this room is the well-preserved pressed metal ceiling, painted to match the walls.
The pressed metal ceiling extends into the kitchen, where it is painted a stunning silver that pops against the rich red walls. The kitchen is spacious and offers plenty of opportunity for personalization and expansion. The house also retains its original butler’s pantry, which features ample wood and glass cabinetry for storage and display. Upstairs, the master bedroom features yet another pressed metal ceiling, giving the space a cozy feel to go along with its wallto-wall carpeting, large window, and original molding. Two other smaller bedrooms offer hardwood floors and plenty of storage. The remodeled bathroom has a full tub and shower, new fixtures, wainscoting, and a solid floor. Be sure to take some time to explore the bonus second-floor room, located off of the bathroom through an undersized, original wood door. This space can be used for storage or possibly converted into additional closet space. A copious amount of storage space is also available in the fully-insulated attic. 724 Linden Street proudly displays its personality and character while also offering options and the opportunity to make it your own. It offers approximately 1,310 square feet of living space and is listed at $124,900.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD
Witness Protection
Even dangerous felons sometimes serve short sentences, but Benito VasquezHernandez, 58 — guilty of nothing — has been locked up for nearly 900 days (as of early March) as a “material witness” in a Washington County, Oregon, murder case. The prosecutor is convinced that Vasquez-Hernandez saw his own son, Eloy, murder a woman in 2012, and the case is on hold until the victim’s body is found. The judge has given Vasquez-Hernandez two opportunities to leave, both impractical (pay a $500,000 bond or give a video deposition, but he speaks no English, is illiterate in Spanish and, said his lawyer, might be mentally incompetent). (Consolation: Material witnesses in Oregon earn $7.50 a day.)
The Continuing Crisis
— The trendy St. Pauli neighborhood in historic Hamburg, Germany, suffers its share of uncouth revelers who wander out from nightclubs seeking restroom facilities but too often choose walls of storefronts and private homes, reported London’s The Guardian in a March dispatch. The solution, according to the civic group IG St. Pauli: paint jobs with an “intensely hydrophobic” product known as Ultra-Ever Dry,” which somewhat propels liquid aimed at it right back toward the source by creating an air barrier on the surface. In other words, said an IG St. Pauli official, it’s “pee back” time, and shoes and trouser legs should expect splashes. — We have “139 frogs, toads, lizards, turtles,” Ms. Thayer Cuter told Seattle’s MyNorthwest.com in March, touting her Edmonds, Washington, amphibian
rescue shop, especially the heroic job done recently on Rocky, the Texas toad who came with stones in his tummy. “He had to have a lot of enemas (but) Rocky is rock-free now” and, after passing all the pebbles, is finally able to eat. Added Cuter, turtles are underrated pets, “very social” and love massages and “cuddl(ing).” — The Job of the Researcher: Cockroaches can be bold explorers or shy and withdrawn, according to recent work by researchers at Belgium’s Universite Libre de Bruxelles, who caught a bunch of them, affixed radio tags and studied their movements. “Explorers” are necessary for locating food sources, although, obviously, they are also most likely to find Roach Motels; “shy, cautious” roaches are necessary for survival and group stability, and a mixture of the types ensures cockroaches’ legendary survivability. A Mother Nature News commentator wrote, hopefully, that understanding roaches’ personalities might make us “less quick” to “grab a shoe.”
Compelling Explanations
Clueless in Florida’s Panhandle: (1) Debra Mason, 58, was arrested for theft of a pickup truck in Destin, Florida, in January — and according to police, Mason said she knew it was stolen property but “didn’t think it was ‘that’ stolen.” (2) Ten miles away in Mary Esther, Florida, in February, Robert Pursley, 54, was arrested for DUI and was asked about items in his truck. According to the police report, Pursley insisted that everything was his — “except for anything illegal.” A baggie of cocaine was in the truck’s center console.
[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 30 ]
[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Serious contemplation regarding someone you might want to consider spending the rest of your life with will lead to interesting talks about your intentions and plans. Listen to the response you get carefully. It’s likely you’ll be offered a false sense of security. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ll misread someone’s intentions if you aren’t careful. Ulterior motives that have to do with financial gain are apparent. Before you share personal information regarding your assets and aspirations, wait and see what the person
who interests you has to contribute monetarily in return. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Love is on the rise, and a change in your current status will turn in your favor. Getting out with friends or taking part in an event or activity that interests you will open up an opportunity to engage in a romantic dance with someone who matches your every step. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t feel the need to make an impulsive decision when it comes to an affair of the heart. Anyone worth being with will wait until you are ready to move forward. Call the shots, and you will end up with the
right partner, not someone who wants to control you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You won’t have trouble attracting partners, but if you are too demonstrative, it will be hard to hold on to one. The person who can share the spotlight with you and offers equality will be worth bowing down to until you have won a place in his or her heart. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Go about your business and take part in the things you enjoy doing most. Don’t let your emotions be tampered with or give in to someone who makes you feel unworthy. Put your needs first and wait for the person
willing to build you up instead of knock you down. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’ll have a hard time making up your mind, so refrain from leading someone on in order to avoid a nasty scene. It’s better to be upfront and honest about the way you feel, so you are free to discover who you are and what you want romantically. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ll entice potential lovers with your mysterious ways and unusual ideas. You’ll know as soon as you make suggestive innuendoes whether the person you are interested in is up for the ride you have to offer or if
you should keep searching for the one who is. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll end up in an emotional situation that will be difficult to get out of if you are the least bit dishonest about the way you feel. Sort out a lingering situation from your past before you decide to involve a new love interest into your life. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll meet someone who interests you, but before you jump in with two feet, play it safe and find out more. A little time spent with someone new will reveal an unpredictable personality that can be disruptive if you move too quickly.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Share your ideas and make plans to experiment with someone who is into the same things as you. A match made in heaven will result if you are honest about your likes and dislikes as well as your intentions. Share your true feelings and enjoy the moment. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Not everyone you meet will be upfront about his or her personal expectations when it comes to compatibility and lifelong plans. Question anyone who is constantly agreeing with you, and refrain from trying to be what someone you feel chemistry with wants you to be.
