I was shocked, but then thought again about the various meanings behind the cover of City announcing “Victory over climate change” (April 15). What initially surprised me is how widely the headline varies with the scientific and political facts. Too many Americans and many members of Congress still don’t recognize how profoundly we’re into a climate war which threatens the very existence of the planet as we have known it. “Wake up!” is the message of James Hansen. If we continue business as usual, everything we’re planning for the future has a high probability of taking a dangerous, radical turn. A further subtlety in the title is the buried question: “Who are we at war with?” Pogo gave the answer when he said, “We have seen the enemy and he is us.” It’s my feeling that we can’t just blame Big Coal, Big Oil, or the Koch brothers for causing all of our carbon woes. We all enjoy the luxury of using fossil fuel every day. I came down on the side of liking the elusive cover for another reason which answers the question, “What’s the ultimate cause of the climate war?” It’s my opinion that our climate problems are caused by the extreme consumer–industrial society which holds that we can enjoy endless, mindless growth without paying a price. The ultimate solution to the climate war isn’t just cutting back on our fossil fuel use, or buying a Prius, or even switching to alternative power. The answer is to somehow figure out how to build a new, non-fossil-fuel-based society founded on less greed and greater sustainability. HUGH MITCHELL

School board should reject budget
I am very dismayed about the proposed Rochester city school district budget cuts. Superintendent Vargas and CFO William Ansbrow have made an unethical proposal that would deprive teachers, many of whom have over 20 years of experience and are 100 percent grant-funded, of positions in which they have saved the community untold thousands, if not millions of dollars through helping students find jobs, receive diplomas, and learn to speak English. The BOE should vote no to the budget and ask that Vargas and Ansbrow resign. These shortsighted budget cuts would only end up costing more in the long run. Currently, the Office of Adult and Career Education Services helps people at about 30 percent of what BOCES would cost. Rochester has a long tradition of helping those in need. Proposed cuts in programs at OACES and Youth and Justice go against that tradition. The BOE needs to uphold our values and vote no to the budget. JOHANNES BOCKWOLDT
Theaters ignore inner city
Congrats to the Lyric Opera folks, and boo to City for only covering half of the story (Urban Journal, April 21).
The Arts and Cultural Council of Rochester lists 30 major performing arts centers in the Greater Rochester region — none within a one-mile radius of Rochester’s inner city, and only a handful within a three-mile radius. Of note, 40 percent of Rochester’s inner city residents are pedestrian transporters, meaning that a performing arts center on East Avenue does nothing for much of Rochester’s population. Again, the inner city is ignored. Because the majority are poor? Because they’re black and Hispanic? Regardless, worry no more. The Joseph Avenue Arts and Culture Alliance is working diligently to convert a long dormant yet landmark-designated synagogue into the Center for Performing and Visual Arts. It
will be a transformational project for the region. NEIL SCHEIER

WWWD? (What Will Wegmans Do?) Readers shared their thoughts about the East Avenue Wegmans parking lot.
I don’t believe that hundreds of drivers per day use the Wegmans lot as a cut-through. In another article I read, it said 200 cars per day cut through from East to University. That makes little sense to me. A cut-through is used to make driving easier, and cutting through the Wegmans parking lot is extremely hard. I believe that those hundreds of drivers are in the same situation I’ve been in many, many times in that parking lot. I look for a spot, I can’t find one, and I leave to return again at a less busy time of day. STEVECLOTHO

Do theater numbers add up?
It is good to see that the Rochester art scene is doing well after having some troupes fold in the past. I continue to be surprised, however, at how little questioning there is of the financial desirability of a new theater for the RBTL. Everyone wants a nice, new place, but can it pay for itself? I was recently in Orlando, where they have a very nice new theater, half paid for by the private sector and half by government. However, Orlando is a larger city, and they have something we do not: lots and lots of tourists. Shows here sell out only on the weekends except for blockbuster plays, so will a bigger theater attract more during the week? Even on weekends, how many people who cannot get the Saturday night tickets go to a matinee instead of not going at all? LUXEMBOURG

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
The war on Earth It is simply baffling, yes? Never mind the testimony of respected scientists. Never mind all the evidence. As we celebrated another Earth Day last week, Republican presidential candidates were fighting – in some cases mocking – efforts to protect the planet. It’s particularly baffling given the history of their political party. This is the party of passionate conservationist Theodore Roosevelt, whose leadership led to the creation of six national parks and four national monuments. And as President Obama noted in his Earth Day address, Richard Nixon established the Environmental Protection Agency. George H.W. Bush “was the first president, globally, to acknowledge the impacts of climate change and that we needed to do something about it.” And yet the declared and presumed Republican candidates for president are not having it. Jeb Bush has wiggled around on the issue of climate change. While he’s “not a scientist,” he’s “a skeptic.” He thinks “global warming may be real” but, he told Esquire magazine in 2009, “I would be very wary of hollowing out our industrial base even further.” “I think we need to be very cautious before we dramatically alter who we are as a nation because of it,” he said. Marco Rubio, says Mother Jones, has flipped from calling climate change an economic opportunity for clean-energy businesses to declaring that Obama’s emissions limits will be “devastating to the US economy.” From Ted Cruz we have this, in an interview with the Texas Tribune: “the global warming alarmists are the equivalent of the flat-Earthers.” From Rand Paul (via Huffington Post): an agreement that there is climate change but he’s “not sure anybody exactly knows why” and (courtesy of Politico), a dismissive “I don’t think we really want a commander-in-chief battling climate change instead of terrorism.” From Mike Huckabee (courtesy of Politico): “A beheading is a far greater threat to an American than a sunburn.” Some of this, no doubt, stems from pure ignorance. A lot of it is bowing to oil and coal interests. Doesn’t matter. This is the attitude we’ll get with a Republican president. A Pew Research Center poll last fall found that most Americans believe in climate change – and far more believe that human activity is a major cause than don’t. But significantly, the poll found that we don’t think it’s nearly as great a threat as, say, ISIS or the nuclear threat from Iran and North Korea.
Despite the environmental history of their political party, Republican candidates are denying the need for strong climatechange efforts.
Could that change if climate change becomes a key election issue? Maybe. But only if the Democrats’ candidate – presumably Hillary Clinton – makes it one. The pressuring and the educating need to start now.
Bob Koch
Many of us are mourning the loss of a Rochester treasure, Bob Koch, who died April 16 at the age of 92. For 30 years, Bob brought his intelligence, wit, perception, and his knowledge of literature and the arts in general to WXXI listeners. And in the early years of this newspaper, Bob shared his knowledge and insights with our readers, serving as theater critic, informing both our readers and our staff, for which we will always be grateful. On the air and in print, Bob’s love of the liberal arts was infectious. And he was every bit as warm and engaging in person as he sounded on the air. He was a genuinely sweet, lovely man who made enormous contributions to his community and to the arts, and he is very much missed.
A correction
In my April 22 column, I erroneously wrote that while the Rochester Broadway Theatre League continues to press for a new theater for its touring Broadway shows and other big events, it does not want to own or operate it. It is true that RBTL does not want to own a new theater, board chair Arnie Rothschild says. But RBTL does want to operate the new facility, Rothschild says. rochestercitynewspaper.com

Study backs bike sharing
Guess how many illegally dumped tires the City of Rochester collects each year? Go on. Nope, higher. Higher. The city picks up between 80,000 and 120,000 individual tires annually. That’s a minimum of 20,000 sets.
The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority gave its approval to the Genesee Transportation Council’s final bike-sharing study. The study says that a sharing system could work in the Rochester area. And it recommends a public-private partnership to start and operate the system.
Calls for divestment
The Rochester Teachers Association passed a resolution opposing the New York State Teachers’ Retirement System’s investment in any stock of a company that owns, operates, or builds prisons. And the resolution directs RTA delegates to New York State Teachers United and the NYSTRS to call for divesting now from any current investments of this kind.

“This is nothing new,” says Norman Jones, commissioner of the city’s Department of Environmental Services. “I’ve been dealing with waste management for over 25 years now, and this has been going on for that long. And we’ve taken all kinds of approaches to deal with it.” Lighting and fencing usually work, Jones says, since the tiredumpers tend to operate at night and in more isolated areas, where they’re less likely to be caught. Fencing deterred whoever was dumping approximately 700 to 800 tires a week in the area of Portland Avenue and North Street, Jones says. And the city has recently put up a fence beneath the Douglass-Anthony bridge off of South Avenue. The site is a former homeless encampment that had become an
illegal dumping ground for wood, tires, and all sorts of trash, Jones says. The city has had to make repeated clean-up trips there since the homeless vacated over the winter, he says. “Once people see trash there, they start throwing their trash there,” says city spokesperson Patrick Flanigan. The city recycles the tires it picks up. It also takes tires that city residents leave out at their curbs. But given the volume of tires that the city collects, Flanigan suspects that many must come from outside the city. “We throw out more tires than the city residents can generate,” he says. County residents can take their old passenger tires, with or without rims, to the Ecopark, 10 Avion Drive, Chili. There’s a $5 fee.

Giuliani will give the keynote address during Fisher’s undergraduate ceremony on Saturday, May 9. Student government leaders say that upset alumni should try to put their personal feelings aside and realize that Giuliani has much to offer the students.
EDUCATION | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN
Giuliani pick splits Fisher alumni Some alumni of St. John Fisher College have reacted not-so-favorably to the college’s selection of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani as 2015 commencement speaker. And dozens took to Facebook to either show their support, or to vent. One alumnus calls Giuliani an “ego-driven politician who is out for his own desires.” An alumna says that if she were graduating this year, she’d boycott the ceremony. Giuliani will give the keynote address during the college’s undergraduate ceremony on Saturday, May 9, and will receive an honorary degree of doctor of laws. Fisher student government leaders say that upset alumni should try to put their personal feelings aside and realize that Giuliani has much to offer the students. “I was kind of surprised and almost a little saddened by the way some of the alumni reacted originally,” says Christopher Genrich, president of the Student Government Association. Some of the comments on Fisher’s Facebook page reference recent remarks Giuliani made about President Barack Obama. “I do not believe — and I know this is a horrible thing to say — but I do not believe that the president loves America,” Giuliani said in widely published remarks made at a private dinner in February.
Giuliani later tried to explain, writing in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece, for example, that he “didn’t intend to question President Obama’s motives or the content of his heart.” Giuliani’s popularity hit its zenith in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York City. But his public image has taken more than a few hits since then, owing to Giuliani’s messy personal life, his tendency toward ill-considered remarks, his habit, some say, of exaggerating his post 9/11 role and his mayoral accomplishments, and other factors. But Genrich and Fisher senior class president Aidan Evans say that even if you don’t support Giuliani, the former mayor still has important lessons for Fisher students. “I would like everybody to keep in mind the Rudy Giuliani that led New York after 9/11, because I think he’s a very respectable man in that regard,” Evans says. Students are just excited to have a commencement speaker that they recognize, she says. Fisher has had high-profile speakers before, though, including Pulitzer Prizewinning writers David McCullough and Doris Kearns Goodwin. Genrich says that Giuliani can teach students about resilience. They’ll need some of

the strength that Giuliani showed after 9/11 to handle disappointing job searches, he says, and graduate school rejections. Genrich says that Giuliani’s recent remarks about Obama aren’t relevant to the school’s commencement. A Fisher spokesperson did not respond to requests for an interview on the Giuliani selection, but did send over the following statement: “The college selects commencement speakers every year based on a variety of the chosen individual’s accomplishments and contributions to their profession. Mayor Giuliani will be speaking about leadership as well as his role in the aftermath of 9/11 — both topics that we believe will resonate with the students and their families.”

POLITICS | BY JEREMY MOULE
Toy safety bill meets Albany meat grinder A bill that bans heavy metals and toxic chemicals from children’s products seems like an easy political win. And last week, a group of advocates was prepared to announce that Senator Rich Funke was on board as co-sponsor of the Child Safe Products Act. But Funke pulled out the day before the scheduled press conference. “Senator Funke agrees with the CSPA in principle, is actively engaged in reviewing the legislation, and looks forward to sharing more information in the very near future,” Jesse Sleezer, Funke’s spokesperson, said in a statement. Funke’s pause surely frustrates supporters of the legislation, who don’t want to see the bill meet the same fate as it did previously. The Assembly passed the legislation last year, but Republican leader Dean Skelos refused to bring it up for a vote in the Senate even though 40 senators had signed on to the bill. Supporters say that a last-minute lobbying blitz by the toy and chemical industries doomed the bill. The bill’s death is a symbol of a bigger problem in the State Legislature, one often flagged by good-government groups and rank-and-file legislators: chamber and committee leaders in the Assembly and Senate have a near stranglehold on legislation, and legislators have little recourse. Over the years, the dynamic has scuttled several ethics and reform proposals. Last year, it also tanked a bill to ban plastic microbeads from cosmetic and personal care products sold in New York. The Assembly passed the bill unanimously — even the most conservative members backed it — but the bill didn’t even get a committee vote in the Senate. This, however, is a new session. The Assembly passed the Child Safe Products Act last week, and the bill had been reintroduced in the Senate — already attracting the support of 33 Republicans and Democrats. But advocates are keenly aware that the bill is at the mercy of top Senate Republicans. They’ve stepped up their campaigns to build public support for the bill, which will translate to political pressure on Senate Republican leaders. But they are once again up against lobbyists representing toy and chemical industry groups. “We are lobbying and trying to let legislators know that toys are safe and that we are opposed to this law
because it doesn’t improve child safety,” says David Garriepy, director of state government affairs for the Toy Industry Association. Funke’s support would be a strike back against the lobbyists. At minimum, he’d be another voice in favor of the bill. But Funke is also in a unique position among Republican senators, stemming from his election victory last year. He regained a seat for the GOP, which helped give the party the Senate majority. The 2016 elections aren’t that far off, and the GOP will want to keep Funke’s seat. So if Funke says that the Child Safe Products Act is important to him, conference leaders may take that into consideration as they decide whether to bring the bill to the floor. The Child Safe Products Act would
initially target 10 specific heavy metals and toxic chemicals, which would be banned from children’s products sold in New York starting in January 2018. Some of the substances are familiar — mercury, cadmium, lead, and arsenic, for example — and are known for their neurological or carcinogenic effects. But the bill would also prohibit some lessfamiliar substances, including antimony and cobalt. “These are really kind of obscure chemicals. I think that most parents don’t even know that they should be concerned about them,” says Emily Barrett, an assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at University of Rochester. “Lead certainly is one that’s probably on people’s radar, but the rest of them, I think it’d be a real shock to parents to find out that these are in their children’s toys.” A report released earlier this month by Clean and Healthy New York and the New York League of Conservation Voters says that toys containing heavy metals are

being sold in Monroe County stores. The groups produced similar reports for other counties across the state. In Monroe County, they found arsenic in one product, antimony in two, cadmium in eight, cobalt in eight, and mercury in three. One Hot Wheels set contained mercury and cobalt, while a girl’s hair clip tested positive for mercury, arsenic, and cobalt, the report says. That doesn’t mean that any single product will cause problems for a child. Researchers and child health advocates worry instead about prolonged exposure to sources of toxic substances. Mitzi Rose, a mother from Churchville who’s involved with Moms for a Non-Toxic New York, says that the tests show that the Child Safe Products Act is needed. It’ll help parents ensure that the toys and clothing they buy for their children are safe. “Just having that consumer knowledge would be very important,” she says. The Toy Industry Association counters that
children’s product manufacturers already have to meet strict federal standards for toy safety. The Child Safe Products Act, says the Association’s Garriepy, is a “solution in search of a problem.” Toys made in or imported into the United States are subject to more than 100 different tests and standards,
Garriepy says. Around 75 years ago, the association developed voluntary safety standards, and in 2008 it advocated for the federal government to make them law. Any toy safety standards should be set at the federal level, Garriepy says, and not by states or local governments. Garriepy also takes issue with the child product test results published by Child Safe Products Act advocates, namely the way the toys are tested. The researchers use a screening device, he says, which isn’t as reliable or accurate as a lab test. The advocates have their own agendas, he says, and they focus on toys because they are an emotional draw. “It’s not based on science, it’s not based on facts,” he says. “It’s an attack on childhood, on play, and the rules in place.” The bill’s supporters acknowledge that the toy industry is subject to federal safety standards, but they say that those requirements are lacking. In cases where the toys are tested for heavy metals including lead, mercury, or arsenic, only the surface coatings are analyzed, for example. The Child Safe Products Act would also cover more substances, they say. “There’s no label on the products, parents can’t tell on their own,” Goeken says. “What we really need to do is clean up the industry and make sure that the products for sale are safe.”

Chris McGoldrick found his dream job in DC. PHOTO BY JOHN SCHLIA
BUSINESS
BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
The 21st century is emerging as the century of the “super-commuter,” a person who works in the central county of a given metropolitan area, but lives beyond the boundaries of that metropolitan area, commuting long distance by air, rail, car, bus, or a combination of modes. The super-commuter typically travels once or twice weekly for work, and is a rapidly growing part of our workforce. -MITCHELL MOSS

APRIL 29-MAY 5, 2015
Chris McGoldrick often leaves work on Friday afternoons, but it’s not until the early hours of Saturday morning that he pulls his white Subaru Outback into his driveway. Aside from the flickering glow of a neighbor’s television, there are few signs of life. It takes about six-and-a-half hours for McGoldrick to drive the nearly 400 miles from his job in Washington, DC, to his home in the North Winton Village neighborhood in southeast Rochester. It’s a commute he makes as often as he can since accepting a government contractor job in the DC area three years ago. McGoldrick, 54, says he landed the job as an aerospace systems engineer after losing his job with ITT Corporation in Rochester several years ago. When you ask McGoldrick which city he calls home — Rochester or DC — he says, “It’s complicated.” “It’s kind of both, really,” he says. “My car is registered here [in Rochester]. I am registered to vote here. My family lives here. But my employer said it was a condition of employment that I maintain a residence in Virginia.” The long commute may seem trying, even impossible to some people due to financial costs, physical and emotional stress,
and strains on personal relationships. But McGoldrick is not alone. He is something of a forerunner in a relatively new segment of the 21st century work force: what some people refer to as “super” or “mega” commuters. These are people who travel long distances — often 100 miles or more by car, train, or plane — to and from work. Commuting at its worst for most of us means idling in a cloud of noise, traffic, and exhaust fumes for an hour or less in one of the country’s many congested metropolitan areas. For super-commuters, though, it usually means traveling to work in different regions of either a state or the country, and returning

home on long weekends, school breaks, holidays, and vacations. Until the last decade, such time and distances away from home was a routine familiar to workers in only a few careers, such as the military or commercial pilots. But that has changed dramatically. A combination of factors are driving the trend, says Mitchell Moss, professor of urban policy and planning at New York University. “People are commuting longer distances to work in part because they have families and they don’t want to uproot them,” he says. Sometimes it makes more sense for one person to commute great distances to obtain a higher salary. General economic insecurity stemming from the 2008 recession makes people less likely to move for a job, Moss says, because they’re often not sure how long that job will last. And a growing unevenness between the housing and job markets creates what Moss calls “compensation gaps” that can make cities like Rochester an attractive place to raise a family, but not a vibrant job destination. “For example, people commute from Upstate New York quite often because Upstate New York doesn’t have the career opportunities and the salaries that Manhattan offers,” he says. But the biggest factor, he says, is a fundamental change in the business world, described in a report Moss co-authored called, “The Emergence of the Super-Commuter.” To attract the right talent, corporate management is placing less emphasis on the 9 to

5, Monday through Friday, brick-and-mortar employment model of the late 20th century, Moss says. Employees may not have to come into the office regularly — maybe making an extralong commute once a week, for example. And conversely, workers are more willing to travel for job opportunities they can’t find in their community. There are about 10 metropolitan hubs in the US where super-commuting is the most concentrated: New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Minneapolis, and Seattle, according to Moss’s research. In those areas, super-commuters can represent anywhere from 7 percent to 13 percent of the work force, he says, adding that these hubs typically draw from cities in nearby regions. New York City-Manhattan, for example, draws super-commuters heavily from Philadelphia and Boston. The area also draws about 2,100 workers from Rochester — a near 84 percent increase since 2002, according to Moss’s research.
McGoldrick became a supercommuter out of necessity, he says. “The Great Recession took its toll,” he says. “I was over 50 with no job.” There were few jobs in the engineering field available in Rochester for someone with his skills, he says. And it’s no secret
“YOU LIVE IN BOTH PLACES AND NEITHER.” Chris McGoldrick that many local firms have been shedding those types of jobs. McGoldrick says that he eventually found part-time work at a small Rochester firm. But the company wasn’t in a position to hire him full time and he wasn’t getting benefits, he says, so he kept searching. He was called to several interviews up and down the East Coast, he says. “Then I got this, my dream job,” he says. “The pay was really, really good. It’s important work and the people are so good to work with.” McGoldrick, whose wife and daughter live in Rochester, says that the key to supercommuting is organization and planning ahead. In addition to the home he owns in Rochester, he rents an 800-squarefoot apartment in DC that he describes as sunny, conveniently located, and outrageously expensive. “I have complete extra sets of toiletries, stock extra food around the house, so when I get to either home, there’s always something,” he says. “Keeping prepared at both ends makes it less stressful to pack and it takes less time. Wherever you are, you’ve got the stuff you need.” And he says that after some trial and error, he’s finally mastered the commute.
“I’ve looked at different modes of transportation, and there are pros and cons of doing each one,” he says. “The drawback to Rochester is that it is not a major hub, so there are limited flights to other places, and the flights you do get tend to be more expensive. Going to most places, except to some major cities, requires two hops on a plane, which adds to the time it takes.” He says he found that most round-trip flights from Rochester to DC cost between $400 and $600, depending on how far in advance he booked them. And even though AirTran has low-fare flights, he says, it means going in and out of the Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, which is about an hour’s drive from DC. “You have to add at least a half hour to that to allow for traffic, so that’s an hourand-a-half each way,” he says. “And then you have to be there at the airport at least an hour before your flight. That’s two-anda-half hours right there and you haven’t even gone anywhere.” By the time McGoldrick accounted for rental cars and taxi trips, he says he found that he wasn’t saving much in either time or money. Though his
employer reimburses him for work travel expenses, he doesn’t get reimbursed for his commutes to and from Rochester. “Now I just suck it up and do the drive,” he says. “The advantages to driving are you can come and go when and where you please. Occasionally the weather can be so bad that you don’t want to drive, but that’s pretty rare. We’re used to driving in heavy snow in Rochester, so a little snow isn’t going to stop me, where it could cancel a flight.” McGoldrick says that he knows the route well enough now to find the best stops for gas and food. “And you can bring stuff back and forth that you wouldn’t bring on a plane,” he says. “You just load up your car. It doesn’t matter if it’s a guitar or camping equipment or extra clothes.”
Robert Doran, assistant professor of French and comparative
literature at the University of Rochester, has been super-commuting for years. Prior to his post at the UR, Doran, who is 47, taught at Middlebury College in Vermont while his wife, Sabine, who also teaches in higher education, worked at University of California, Riverside. He commuted to their Southern California home on the West Coast while he taught in Vermont. When he went to work at the UR, Doran purchased a house not far from the university, continues on page 10 rochestercitynewspaper.com

SUPER COMMUTERS continues from page 9
and saw his wife in California mostly during long holidays and vacations, he says. “I was flying there whenever there was a break,” he says. “It averaged about once a month.” Doran’s wife now has a job at Penn State, roughly a three-and-a-half hour drive from Rochester. He says that supercommuting has become a real factor of academic life, particularly if you teach the humanities. The job market is so tight that it can pose a dilemma for a two-professor household, he says. There are only a few cities in the country with a concentration of higher-education institutions that allow both spouses to work in the same location, he says. “The problem becomes, how do you get a university to hire the other spouse?” Doran says. If the spouse is in the same or similar field, it’s almost impossible, he says, because the institution wants to avoid the potential of one spouse reporting to another. Doran says that the biggest challenge was financial. Though they bought their home in California at the low end of the market and recently sold it, flying to and from California became hugely expensive. And now, maintaining two households, one in Rochester and one in Pennsylvania, continues to be a significant expense for the couple. “Financially, there are no advantages,” he says. Another hurdle came when their twin boys were born. The first two years were difficult, Doran says, particularly for his wife. Now that the boys are a little older, he says, leaving them can be emotional. “When they were super young, they obviously didn’t know what was happening,” he says. “But when they got older they would ask, ‘Why do you have to go? Why can’t you come home tonight? When will you be back?’ You really do feel quite guilty.” Doran and his wife have been granted tenure at their respective schools, which offers them some degree of job security in the otherwise uncertain world of academia, Doran says. Still, he says, “It’s a hard life. It’s not for everyone. It’s not for a new couple just starting out.” But Doran says that, with time, his family has worked out a rhythm that feels more natural. Vacation time and school breaks for Doran and his wife tend to coincide with their children’s breaks. And when he’s back at the UR, he’s able to devote longer, more productive time to work, he says. 10 CITY APRIL 29-MAY 5, 2015
Though McGoldrick and Doran are
in their middle years, NYU’s Moss says that super-commuters tend to be younger and that they are most likely to come from middle-class backgrounds. And his research shows that super-commuters are not just highly skilled corporate or academic talent — it’s occurring among workers at every pay scale and in most fields. This is not just a US business phenomenon, either. It’s also happening in Europe and Asia, he says. The implications of the rise in supercommuting are profound, Moss says. According to his report, municipal boundaries will become less relevant, for example. This means that local and regional governments will need to place greater emphasis on inter-regional modes of transportation, he says, such as high-speed rail. And greater cooperation between cities will be necessary as businesses and workers become more integrated, according to Moss’s research. These “mega” regions, as Moss calls them, will find it easier to compete in the global market because they will be able to pool their talent and resources, he says. McGoldrick says that this has become more apparent to him as he travels back and forth between DC and Rochester. The economic differences between the regions are stark, he says. “Even at the peak of the Great Recession, there were way more jobs there [in Washington] than here,” he says. “Even now, if I were to lose my job there, the economy there is such where there are so many more opportunities than here.” And he’s established roots in DC. “I’ve just met tons of new people there and I’ve seen things that I would never have seen had I not taken this job,” he says. “I’ve gained more than I’ve given up.” Still, he says, he’s not in a hurry to leave Rochester. “I do like it here,” McGoldrick says. “I came here to go to RIT [in the 1980’s] and I just stayed here. I have a lot of friends here. There are a lot of really good things about Rochester. The housing is much less expensive here and there’s less traffic. The traffic in DC is horrible.” He says that he even wants to be buried someday in Mt. Hope Cemetery. And, of course, his wife and daughter live here. “I just try to be here as much as I can,” he says. “The downside [to supercommuting] is you’re spread thin. I don’t feel as though there’s much continuity. You live in both places and neither. There’s a sense of that. But I had to make a decision and adapt. In life you have to have plans and goals, but no one knows where they’re going to be in five years from now. Ten years ago, I would never have imagined I would be doing this.”

Even on a Wednesday night, the parking lot at Branca is packed. Waiting for my friend to arrive, I watch the lot’s traffic from my car — for every car that pulls out, another zips in. By the time my friend and I go inside, it’s 7:45 p.m. The hostess apologetically says there are no tables available, but that’s there’s space and a full-service menu at the bar. Our seats give us a good view of the dining room. It’s a small yet spacious area done in medium-tone wood, and soft blacks and whites, a color palate similar to that of Branca’s sister restaurant, The Revelry. (Both restaurants are owned and operated by Joshua and Jenna Miles; Branca is also
owned by Tyler and Alicia Wolk.) The décor is restrained with a few flourishes to remind patrons they’re in an Italian restaurant: framed prints of vintage Italian ads, a shelf decorated with mason jars of giardiniera, and most appealingly, a wood-fire pizza oven covered in Ferrari-red tile, topped with a brassy vent. There’s a pleasant hum of activity, too, as diners twirl pasta on their forks, sip craft cocktails and tell jokes; servers glide through the room looking for tables that need attention. Like the dining room, the bar area is full, convivial and well-managed by the staff. The bartenders and servers chat with customers and each other, never missing a beat or the need to refresh a drink. We’re given menus right away, and our orders come just as fast. I overhear one server tell a trainee that Branca has “lots of regulars.” Nodding toward to two men at the end of the bar, she smiles and says, “Those guys are here every week, same spot.” Our patate fritte ($6) appetizer arrives — French fries. If not strictly Italian, we overlook it. The hand-cut fries are just thick
enough to allow for a tender interior without sacrificing a crisp crust. They are tossed in a truffle sea salt and served with an herbed aioli, and I load up each fry with as much aioli as possible. Knowing that more food is coming, I ask my friend to place the fries far away from me but I continue to eat them, stretching across her and the bar to reach the bowl. We talk and watch the room. Everywhere I look, people are having a good time: they’re relaxed, they’re comfortable, they’re enjoying their drinks and food. So are my friend and I: she laughs longer and louder at an embarrassing story I share than maybe I’ve ever seen her do before — even though she’d barely touched the excellent red wine (Barbera d’Asti Tre Vigne 2012, $10 a glass) that Randy, a bartender, recommended to us. It turns out that Randy is a former student of mine, and I ask if he had studied bartending. Through working at Branca, he says. The wine is aromatic, medium bodied, and dry with an acidity that cuts nicely through richness.
The wine is the suggested paring for the superb gnocchi al ragu Napoletano ($21). The pasta is tender with a gentle chew. If the gnocchi were any softer, they might melt on the tongue. Still, they hold their own against the meaty ragu, which is more meat than sauce. Shreds of pork shoulder are married with tomato and wine and dusted with pecorino romano for a haltingly delicious dish. One quibble: there is a bit too much fat left on the pork, but that wouldn’t dissuade me from ordering the gnocchi — with the wine — in the future. We bite into slices of the salsiccia e friarielli pizza ($15). The pizza oven operates under the supervision of Branca’s executive chef, Pasquale Sorrentino, who hails from Naples, Italy. Branca is in the process of becoming designated as a VPN (Vera Pizza Napoletana) which requires specific ingredients, techniques, temperatures, and equipment to be recognized as pizza in the Neapolitan style. As VPN’s guidelines stipulate, the pizza is thin, soft, elastic, and “easily foldable.” About the size of a dinner plate, the pizza is filled with sausage, broccoli rabe, and roasted peppers, with slices of melted mozzarella. Its colors are an homage to the Italian flag. The sausage, sliced on a diagonal into 1/4-inch pieces, is not greasy and almost delicate; the vegetables are fresh but do not dampen the crust. Underneath, the pizza is a deep honey blonde hue with patches darkening toward char — these are the best parts of the crust. Though we are stuffed, we order dessert. A slab of chocolate cake ($8) has a layer of apricot jam through the middle and is frosted with a chocolate ganache. It’s presented on a wood plank with dollops of apricot and raspberry jams. Like a lot of Italian cakes, it’s dry with a muted sweetness. I like it, but prefer the lemon sorbet ($2) I tasted on a previous visit. Sweet, tart and refreshing, the sorbet tasted like the best lemon ices sold at the best Italian bakeries . By the time we finish, it’s after 9:30pm. The restaurant has cleared out a bit but, for a weeknight, there are still more people than I’d expect lingering over their food and drinks. They don’t want to go home yet; they’re having too good of a time. I know how they feel.

SATURDAY, MAY 2 MONTAGE MUSIC HALL, 50 CHESTNUT STREET 7 P.M. | $18-$20 | THEMONTAGEMUSICHALL.COM THEWOMBATS.CO.UK [ POP ] There’s such momentum behind The Wombats, a dancy guitar-drum-bass trio from Liverpool, England, that it often feels like the lyrics are just trying to keep up. After its first album, “A Guide To Love, Loss & Desperation” (2007), The Wombats have let go of some of its heavier post-punk head-pump for more electronics, melodic hooks, and catchy choruses. “Glitterbug” (2015) showcases this more pop-alt-dance sound and is the album the band is now pumping around the globe.

Steepwater Band.
In the run up to “How Do You Feel Now?” — the debut full-length album from Rochester’s Joywave — the band developed its sound with a pair of genre-busting mixtapes and various other releases both physical and digital. Deftly mixing styles and ambition, “How Do You Feel Now?” continues in the tradition of melding pop and rock elements into a singular highly glossed product. Each track has a dance bent — it’s easy to imagine a coordinated mover capably handling the floor in step. With heavier elements employed more often than on prior works, the band has embraced its rock roots while also embellishing pop elements to appeal to a broader audience. A force on the local scene in recent years, Joywave’s talent has led to bigger and better things on a broader stage. The band continues to embrace local affiliations, utilizing harpist Mikaela Davis on a stunning movement between the anthemic “Nice House” and operatic “Bad Dreams” at the close of the record. And “Tongues,” the biggest hit the band has experienced so far, features local electropop outfit and frequent collaborators KOPPS. Transitions between each track, capable of standing on their own as both dancefloor hits and radio staples, serve as glue to tie each track in. As a whole, there is a definite sense of completeness to these 11 tracks. The album as it has been known may be going extinct, but the form is enlivened by affairs such as this. — BY DAVE LABARGE

Mr. Donut FIND MORE FROM THE BAND AT FACEBOOK.COM/MISTER.DONUT.BAND
[ INTERVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE
When at its most obtuse, Rochester quartet Mr. Donut makes the most sense. The band’s sound runs cool and curious from a bottom heavy-dirge to lofty explorations full of air. And there are the words that show up — not in the songs as lyrics — but rather splayed out in a fictional interpretation printed in the liner notes found in the band’s debut EP, “Sandwich Farm.” So the listener can enhance the listening experience or choose to bring their own take to the experience. Mr. Donut — Joe Dellaria, guitar; Emma Hsieh, keyboards; Guy Higgins, drums; and Charles Whitbourne, bass — is part of a new generation of experimental musicians that are neither hippies nor jazzers. It must be jelly because jam don’t dig in like this. The band will cite artists from Phish to Brubeck further proving a creative restlessness throughout, yet somewhere between these goalposts stirs Mr. Donut’s place in the world. City Newspaper sat down with Higgins and Whitbourne to discuss lyrics versus no lyrics, adjusting the jam, nerds, and rehearsing naked. An edited transcript follows. City: How did Mr. Donut get its start? Chaz Whitbourne: Me, Emma, and Joe were 14 CITY APRIL 29 - MAY 5, 2015
in this funk band that broke up. So we wanted to try something new. We decided to try instrumental music because we didn’t have a singer. How’d that work for you? Guy Higgins: We recorded an EP and things
came together quickly. So the plan was to be strictly instrumental? Whitbourne: Yeah, once we got a sound
and started liking it. I don’t think we’d be opposed to working with a singer as a collaboration. You have no lyrics, yet there are written story lines and write-ups in the liner notes. Que pasa? Whitbourne: It’s verbal imagery. It’s kind of
fun to play with Did you write them up before writing the tunes or after? Higgins: I believe it was during. Whitbourne: We had the song names and
when it came time to make the album, I made the stories match the songs that we recorded, so they’re all in line with the story. Was this in order to help the listener’s comprehension? Whitbourne: No, it was just to give the
songs more personality. It just added more to the story — a visual aspect. How do you leave room within a song’s structure to jam? Is it off the cuff? Higgins: It’s off the cuff but a lot of it is
motifs that we’ve done before so we’re comfortable going back to them. Is this a cerebral challenge to your audience? Whitbourne: It’s a balance … some
people, you lose. It depends if we’re playing for the right crowd or not. We adjust and we change our jams a lot. We’re just now getting more sensitive to that stuff instead of coming out and blowing people’s faces off. Higgins: It’s fun to open up a little bit more and not be restricted by the set length; we want to start playing festivals. I think our stuff is geared for free-form, long-form jams. How prepared are you before you set foot in the studio. Whitbourne: I would say 75 percent prepared. What does this new generation of jam bands consist of? Whitbourne: There are no barriers. It’s got
that rock edge but you can’t tell if its rock or jazz or fusion or metal. Higgins: And there’s nerdinesss — the guys in these bands are really into music, they dig really deep into multiple styles with technical proficiency. What’s the hardest thing about recording Mr. Donut? Whitbourne: I like to practice nude which
is weird for the others because they all have clothes on.

Where the f**k have these guys been all my life? I’ve been wading in second-rate blues and rancid roots rock searching for the perfect blend of beer joint rock ‘n’ roll and bravado. Don’t get me wrong, it doesn’t all suck. I came close in my quest when I first heard Dan Baird’s post Satellite’s flight with the Yahoos, and The Chinchillas continue to scratch that itch effectively on a daily basis. Dallas’ Dead Flowers are a guitar heavy drive that just sounds great. No over the top histrionics or disingenuous wanking here, no sir. Just good ol’ rock ‘n’ roll for sweaty nights with your hand around a long neck and arm around your girl. Dig it. Dead Flowers play with New City Slang and Northern Spies at Monty’s Krown, 875 Monroe Avenue, on Saturday, May 2. 9 p.m. $3. facebook.com/deadflowersband.

Matuto is ebullient, hip-swaying fun. The band is dubbed Pan-American roots music, combining some melodies of Appalachia with bluesy riffs, and rooted in Brazilian beats. It was guitarist and singer Clay Ross’ brainchild in New York City more than a decade ago, and he’s since birthed a cultural experience with his band. Matuto signed with the Motema label and for years have been touring its unique sound around the country. Accordion, violin, and a motley of unique percussion fill out this Brazilian bluegrass baile.

When wheels are wings “Ride It: Art and Bicycles in Rochester” THROUGH MAY 15 ROCHESTER CONTEMPORARY ART CENTER, 137 EAST AVENUE WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY, 1 TO 5 P.M., FRIDAY, 1 TO 10 P.M. 461-2222 | ROCHESTERCONTEMPORARY.ORG [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
Along with the sweetness of spring comes the freedom of flying through the city on two wheels. As soon as the weather sustains 60 degrees for a few consecutive days, bicycles will join automobiles — and the more hardcore cyclists who’ve been out in almost every condition nature has thrown at us. Through May 15, check out “Ride It: Art and Bicycles in Rochester,” the inspiring show now at Rochester Contemporary Art Center, chock full of the Roc’s bike history, current culture, and visions of the future. “I’ve wanted to do a show about bikes generally for a long time,” says RoCo director Bleu Cease, who has organized bike tours to visit murals and sites of historic value for nearly a decade. In time for May, which is Bike Month, “Ride It” brings together a variety of individuals and organizations in celebration of cycling. This exhibit “is the melding of fine art, documentary practice, and historical display toward a deep, yet approachable — if not somewhat irreverent — engagement with the exhibition’s focus,” Cease says. By including other institutions,
community partnerships, and powerful historical context, the center seeks to underscore “the importance of being open to and aware of different eras; and different fields, specialties, cliques and disciplines, if we are to move this city forward.” The fine art element includes work by painter Cordell Cordaro, whose colorful canvases and drawings on paper are filled with stylized, old-timey bike enthusiasts in dapper duds. Another wall is filled with some of the best posters produced by a variety of artists for the Genesee Center’s annual Spokes & Ink bike and poster festival. Further into the gallery space, two fascinating exhibits reveal Rochester’s early integration of bike culture. The adept folks at the University of Rochester’s Rare Books and Special Collections Library contributed photographic reproductions and written accounts of the importance of bicycles to women — and the changes it drove in their clothing styles — pulled from the journals of architect Claude Bragdon’s sister, May. Bragdon’s contemporary, Susan B. Anthony, also praised the bike for the independence it offered to women: “I think it has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. It gives women a feeling of freedom and self-reliance. I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel … the picture of free, untrammeled womanhood.” Christine Ridarsky, of the Rochester
Public Library’s Local History Division, put together a display of images,
objects, and captions to tell the story of Rochester’s network of bike paths. “When bicycles were introduced to urban communities around the country, Rochester was growing,” Cease says. “And all of a sudden, Rochester had 40,000 bicycles in the street, in a small downtown area,” competing for space with slower cars, scaring horses, and contributing to accidents. So Rochester created a network of bike trails all around the region. Pictures reveal toll booths, a map shows the extent of the system, and a display case holds a badge with a metal strap to adhere to your handlebars that is analogous to today’s E-ZPass. A nearby, subtler display includes a stack of postcards and an envisionedhistory story of “The RochesterGreenway,” produced by cycling advocate and RIT professor Jon Schull. “He’s sort of a provocateur,” Cease says. “He proposed this covered bike trail from RIT to downtown, but rather than just proposing it and going through the normal channels, he wrote about it as if it was already here.” Looping in the round room at the back of the space is a series of short films put together by Scott Wagner, who organizes the annual Rochester Bicycle Film Fest. The line-up includes some documentary-style stories featuring Rochester individuals and institutions such as R Community Bikes, vignettes on bike culture in South Africa, and a clever, entertaining short, “The Man Who Lived on His Bike,” by Guillaume Blanchet, of Montreal. A “Bicycle Tour of Little Known Public Artworks” will be offered Sunday, May 3, in collaboration with photographer Richard Margolis. The ride departs from RoCo at 1 p.m. Visitors are still adding notices to the massive community calendar of cycling-related events located near the rear of the gallery. For more information on upcoming events, visit the center or rochestercontemporary.org. When you go, don’t miss the mini show in the LAB Space. “Hipstory,” by Amit Shimoni of Jaffa, Israel, is a witty series of illustrations that restyles politicians and revolutionaries as the tragically cool kids of the modern era.

FRIDAY, MAY 1 THROUGH SATURDAY, MAY 3 THE DRYDEN THEATRE, 900 EAST AVENUE 271-3361; DRYDEN.EASTMANHOUSE.ORG [ PREVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
If you’re not a cinema history buff, it’s entirely possible that you’re unfamiliar with nitrate film. If you’ve heard of it at all, you’re probably most aware of the format’s notorious tendency to catch fire and burn down movie theaters. And over the years, nitrate’s volatile reputation has only grown, thanks to memorable scenes of theatrical destruction in “Cinema Paradiso,” “Inglourious Basterds,” and “The Artist.” The desire to rectify this reputation has led to the creation of The Nitrate Picture Show, the world’s first Festival of Film Conservation. The festival will be held at the George Eastman House on Friday, May 1, through Sunday, May 3. The Nitrate Picture Show will give cinephiles a chance to celebrate a format that existed only for the first 55 years of motion pictures. Nitrate film base was the first used in the production of motion picture film, but the format’s unstable nature led to its eventual discontinuation in 1951, when the industry switched to acetate “safety film.” Compared to later techniques, the nitrate process allowed for a more true reproduction of color, and its higher silver content brings a greater contrast in black and white films. Nitrate offers a picture quality that is unparalleled, but beyond the aesthetic
properties of the form, the screenings themselves offer a unique experience. The Dryden is one of only a handful of venues in the world still licensed to screen nitrate film, meaning that few audiences still have the chance to see these movies presented exactly as viewers of the time were able to. The Eastman House has been preserving film for 65 years now, and the museum is renowned for its conservation efforts. The Nitrate Picture Show will feature nine programs of movies screened on vintage 35mm nitrate film. Though the specific titles are being kept under wraps until the moment the screenings begin, the festival’s programmers say the lineup highlights a broad spectrum of films from the era: black and white and color, recognized classics and forgotten masterpieces, features and shorts, each selected as a great representation of the nitrate format. On one hand, the mystery is obviously meant to build up anticipation, but as Dryden Curator of Film Exhibitions Jurij Meden and Head of Collection Information Jared Case explain, it also functions to encourage viewers to look beyond the content of the movies and focus on the film itself and the sensory experience that it provides. “You can see pictures of the Eiffel Tower all over the internet,” Case says. “But people don’t travel all the way to France to see digital images of the Eiffel Tower, they go to see the Eiffel Tower. They go to experience the size and scope of it because that can’t be captured in a digital presentation.” The Dryden, on Thursday night, will screen William Wellman’s 1937 classic, “A
Star is Born.” The director’s son, William Wellman Jr., will be in attendance to present the film and to talk about his recently published biography of his father, “Wild Bill Wellman: Hollywood Rebel.” In addition to the festival’s film screenings, there will be a host of other events — from book signings to panel discussions — providing a crash-course education for attendees. Throughout Friday, the museum will host several book discussions and signings with film scholars including Roger Smither (“This Film Is Dangerous”), David Bordwell (“On the History of Film Style”), and Kevin Brownlow (“The Parade’s Gone By,” the definitive manifesto of film preservation). That evening brings The Safety Net, a presentation of films about nitrate, including the British short “This Film is Dangerous” (from which Smither’s book takes its name), and an amazing-sounding superhero serial pastiche from 1966, called “Captain Celluloid vs. the Film Pirates.” On Saturday evening, senior curator Paolo Cherchi Usai will host the Burning Passions roundtable discussion with an international panel of experts speaking about the history and importance of nitrate. Other festival events include a workshop demonstrating the process behind the creation of nitrate film (sold out at the time of this writing) as well as tours of the Dryden’s projection booth. Each night’s screenings will be followed by an after-hours gathering at Skylark Lounge (40 South Union Street), giving patrons a great way to wind down after a day spent getting hopped-up on cinema. “I think one of the reasons why film has always had a hard time being recognized as art is because it was always mechanically reproduced,” Meden says. “Now, as we’ve stepped into the digital era, we are becoming increasingly aware that each film print is not just a replica — a duplicate — of something, but is a unique object with its own inherent qualities and history. We’re trying to raise awareness that every time we go to the Dryden and see a film, we are not just watching a picture, we are always witnessing a performance.” Full Weekend Passes for The Nitrate Picture Show are available for $150 ($125 for students and members), and Patron Passes for $250. Tickets for Thursday’s “A Star is Born” preview event are $30 ($25 students and members). Individual film tickets are available through the box office on the day of each screening for $20 ($18 for students and members), though as for choosing which program to spring for, my best advice is to pick a random number from one to nine.

DANCE | “MADRE MIA”
LECTURE | “IN CONVERSATION” WITH BILL FLANAGAN
NIGHTLIFE | ROCHESTER COCKTAIL REVIVAL
Borinquen Dance Theatre, a youth company led by Artistic Director Nydia Padilla-Rodriguez, brings its contemporarymodern and folkloric (Caribbean, Jamaican, and Puerto Rican) dance to Hochstein School of Music and Dance this Saturday to present “Madre Mia,” a tribute to mothers. The company has nurtured hundreds of city youths through a structured dance program since Padilla-Rodriguez founded it 34 years ago when it was housed in the Puerto Rican Cultural Center.
Author and MTV executive Bill Flanagan will sit down with John Covach, director for the University of Rochester’s Institute for Popular Music, on Wednesday, April 29, to talk about his career in the music industry. The talk is part of the Institute’s “In Conversation” series. According to Covach, these lectures allow students to “hear about the way the music business works from the successful people who have seen it from the inside.” Flanagan has more than 15 years of experience in the industry and currently serves as executive vice president of the Viacom Music Group and editorial director of MTV News.
Featuring eight host bars around the city, the Rochester Cocktail Revival has expanded in its second year to include more than 40 different tastings, dinners and seminar events from Tuesday, May 5, through Sunday, May 10. The Revival is highlighted by a large scale event sponsored by Larceny Bourbon at the Rochester Public Market on Friday, May 8, from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. The event will feature a liquid nitrogen exhibit, cocktail samples from Heaven Hill’s master mixologist, live music, and drinks from Rochester bartenders. Tickets for this event and all other ticketed events can be found on the RCR website, rochestercocktailrevival.com.
“We use art as a vehicle to expose kids to discipline and to teach them how to transfer that discipline to academics,” Padilla-Rodriguez said. She currently teaches Caribbean dance at Hochstein where Borinquen has rehearsed for more than 30 years.
The lecture begins at 7:30 p.m. at the Strong Auditorium, UR’s River Campus. Lecture is free and open to the public. Visit rochester.edu/popmusic for more info. — BY KURT NYE
Both senior and junior groups will perform at the concert this weekend, and some of the choreography is the work of graduating seniors. The program will also include poetry and song and a photographer will be on hand to take pictures of mothers and daughters together. The program is an homage to Padilla-Rodriguez’s loss of her own mother last year.
2, 7 p.m. Hochstein Music Hall, 50 N. Plymouth Ave $10-$25. borinquendance.org.
Tickets are $25 at the door for adults ($20 when purchased online at borinquendancetheatre.org), $10 for students and seniors. Doors open at 6 p.m.; the performance begins at 7 p.m. at Hochstein School of Music, 50 North Plymouth Avenue. — BY CASEY CARLSEN

THEATER | “THE BIKINIS”
When the Sandy Shores Mobile Home Beach Resort is strapped for cash, a popular 1960’s girl group reunites after more than 20 years to try and raise some needed assistance in “The Bikinis: A New Musical Beach Party.” The jukebox musical has been praised for its fun, high energy as the group flys through hits — like “It’s in His Kiss,” “Time of the Season,” and “These Boots are Made for Walkin’” — with vocal harmonies and nostalgia as they look back on the summer of 1964 and what the resort meant for them. “The Bikinis” continues through May 31 at Downstairs Cabaret Theatre, 3450 Winton Place. 7 p.m. on Wednesdays; 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays; and 3 p.m. on Sundays. $30-$36. downstairscabaret.org; thebikinismusical.com. — BY JAKE CLAPP

THEATER | “PUT THAT WOMAN FIRST”
There are widely varying philosophies regarding the roles of men and women in society and relationships, and this conversation carries from brunch, to the boardroom, to bills proposed for law. On Saturday, May 2, Kodak Center for Performing Arts (200 West Ridge Road) will host Michael Atkins Yawn’s “Put That Woman First,” a story about three ladies who are each trying to get their men to “put them first,” whatever that means. A fourth femme friend is a self-proclaimed independent black women who makes good money and insists she doesn’t need a man to define her womanhood. Atta girl.

It wasn’t too long ago that we as a nation found ourselves deep in the so-called “McConaissance,” the name jokingly given to the career resurgence of actor Matthew McConaughey as he drifted from being the doofy lead in an endless series of romantic-comedies to becoming a bona fide serious actor; a trajectory that you might recall culminated with him winning an Oscar. Barely two years later, we find ourselves witnessing the similar reinvention of Kristen Stewart.

(Kristenaissance? Stewaissance? Krisurgence?) As an actress, Stewart is best known for her somnambulant work in the “Twilight” franchise, but has lately dedicated herself to taking challenging roles in smaller, more interesting projects. Things really kicked into gear with a wonderful performance opposite Julianne Moore in “Still Alice,” and the trend continues with Olivier Assayas’ “Clouds of Sils Maria,” in which she holds the screen against no less a powerhouse than Juliette Binoche. Her efforts seem to be paying off: Stewart was recently awarded the French film industry’s highest honor — the César — for her role here, marking the first time an American actress has ever taken that prize. In Assayas’s melancholy metafiction, Stewart stars opposite Binoche, who portrays a celebrated actress of stage and screen, Maria Enders. Stewart is Valentine, Maria’s indispensable personal assistant whom the actress requires be by her side seemingly every waking moment. As the film begins, Maria is on her way to Zurich for a gala event honoring her mentor, playwright Wilhelm Melchior. Melchior’s early

play “Maloja Snake,” about the doomed love affair between a middle-aged business woman and her manipulative 20-something assistant, launched Maria’s career as a young ingénue 20 years earlier and she’s happy to celebrate the work of a close friend. But en route, Maria receives word that Wilhelm has died unexpectedly, and suddenly the tribute becomes a memorial. Still in the midst of grieving, Maria is approached by a hotshot theater director (Lars Eidinger) with an offer to star in a revival of “Maloja Snake.” Instead of playing the role she originated on the stage, Maria will now take on the role of the older woman, opposite a rising starlet named Jo-Ann Ellis (Chloë Grace Moretz), whose most notable roles to date have been a 3D science-fiction blockbuster and the occasional meltdowns that land her on the covers of tabloids the world over. With some reluctance, and some heavy coaxing from Valentine, Maria agrees. Wilhelm’s widow allows Maria to stay in her secluded home in the Swiss mountains while she prepares for the role. In the isolation of this setting, she and Valentine run lines, with Val filling in the role of the younger woman. As they rehearse, the characters on the page soon begin to reflect the women’s real-life positions; the line between life and the play begins to blur and things take a turn for the existential. With Maria’s age and insecurities clouding her perception, she sees her role through newly critical and slightly bitter eyes, resenting her character’s

dependence on the younger woman. Maria’s difficulty in letting go of the past and moving on to a new phase of both her career and her life. More parallels are drawn between Maria and Jo-Ann and ultimately Maria’s relationship with her younger self. For much of the time, it’s just Binoche and Stewart on screen, and the knotty, feisty interplay between the two forms the heart of the film. Assayas knowingly plays with our perception of both actresses. Binoche supplements her usual elegance with a frayed edge of desperation. In many ways, Binoche seems to be playing herself, or some version of herself, and so it follows that we should scan for similarities between Stewart and her character. For once some knowledge of an actress’ life off-screen actually adds to the film, bringing out more layers to explore and adding an interesting tension into the give-and-take between the performers. In examining celebrity culture, “Clouds of Sils Maria” taps into anxieties about aging that seem particularly keen for actresses, who must deal with a society that closely monitors them for signs of growing older on screen (for a more comedic take on a similar idea, see the recent “Inside Amy Schumer” sketch starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Tina Fey, and Patricia Arquette which made the internet rounds this past week). Assayas isn’t saying anything particularly new about art or performance or growing older, but he brings as elegance to the material that’s matched by his capable actresses. In offering a loving tribute to actresses of all stripes, it is little surprise that the director manages to bring out the best in them.
The images are positively biblical in nature, depicting thousands of muddy people at work in a massive pit. They could theoretically be laying the foundation for an ancient pyramid, but in actuality the famous photographs were taken in 1986 at Brazil’s Serra Pelada gold mine by acclaimed photographer Sebastião Salgado. It’s this photoessay that first turned filmmaker Wim Wenders on to Salgado’s art, and after a couple decades as a fan, Wenders, along with Sebastião’s eldest son, Juliano Ribeiro Salgado, has crafted a powerful documentary portrait of Sebastião’s life and work. Wenders’ perspective as an admiring outsider dovetails with Juliano’s agenda, which involves getting better acquainted with a largely absentee father

who was busy crisscrossing the globe to document the spectrum of humanity with his camera, and many of those stirring images are on display in the Oscar-nominated “The Salt of the Earth.” We learn that Sebastião began his professional life as an economist, of all things, before relocating from Brazil to France and picking up wife Lélia’s camera. After a few years, the Salgados decided to go all in on Sebastião’s new career, one that was surprisingly still informed by his old one. “He knew what was driving the world,” Wenders says by way of serene narration that enhances this film’s main attraction, Sebastião himself providing insight into his iconic images. Turns out the handsome septuagenarian, his face etched and tanned, is as eloquent in front of a camera as he is behind one. Whether marveling over the hypnotically symmetrical scales on a lizard or recounting a father preparing his son for burial, his thoughtful observations put to rest the notion that a photographer must be detached and dispassionate. And though his photos offer a kind of beauty in truth, Sebastião began to purposely place himself where the pictures weren’t very pretty. He documented firefighters on the job in the burning Kuwaiti oil fields, the plight of displaced refugees in the former Yugoslavia, and the brutal realities of life in Africa, from the famine-ravaged Sahel to humanitarian hell of Rwanda. “Everybody should see these images, to see how terrible our species is,” Sebastião says. But his determination to bear witness exacted a heavy psychological toll, one that would be mitigated in the 1990’s by returning to roots both literal and figurative, when Sebastião and Lélia began the painstaking process of reversing the environmental damage to the Salgado farm in Brazil and the Atlantic Forest. Save for a few mentions, “The Salt of the Earth” ultimately doesn’t delve too much into the relationship between

(William A. Wellman, US 1937, 115 min., 35mm) A fresh-faced farm girl goes to Hollywood and becomes a star, but her rise to the top is accompanied by heartbreak and tragedy. The second of four versions of this Tinseltown myth is arguably the best, featuring brilliant dramatic work by Janet Gaynor as the rising young star and Fredric March as her alcoholic has-been actor husband. This original Technicolor nitrate print will dazzle your eyes! Screening will be introduced by William Wellman Jr., son of the legendary Hollywood director known in his day as “Wild Bill.” Discussion will follow. Tickets: $30 ($25 members and students)
Sebastião and his son Juliano, who clearly relishes the opportunity to accompany his father on a wildlife photography trek, but more from Sebastião’s wife Lélia would have been most welcome. Though she’s not the one traveling the world and composing the art, Lélia comes across as the silent brains of the Salgado operation, in charge of research, logistics, and childrearing. The Salgados probably couldn’t have put themselves in better hands than those of Wenders, who has also filmed documentaries like 1999’s “The Buena Vista Social Club” and 2011’s “Pina.” The difference between those subjects and a photographer like Sebastião, according to Wenders? “The man shoots back.” The Reel Mind Theatre and Film Series
returns for its seventh year of confronting the social stigma and real-world problems of those battling mental illness, addiction, and brain disorders, and the 2015 installment kicks off on Tuesday, May 5, with director Sara Nesson’s intense “Poster Girl.” This Academy Award-nominated documentary puts an unexpected face on combat vets coming home with PTSD and explores the difficulties they face in moving forward with their lives. “They took an American apple-pie cheerleader and they pretty much crushed her,” her Veterans’ Affairs advocate says of Robynn Murray, who left for Iraq in 2003 as an idealistic teenager and came back shattered by panic attacks, nightmares, physical problems, and raw guilt. Neeson wisely just turns on the camera and lets Murray share her story, her halting voice recounting life-or-death scenarios all in the name of so-called freedom. It’s heartbreaking to see Murray lose control of her emotions, but watching her find strength and regain her sense of self provides much-needed hope for Murray — a special guest at Tuesday’s screening — and others who served our country.
THE NITRATE PICTURE SHOW Friday, May 1–Sunday, May 3 The first annual Nitrate Picture Show includes eight feature film screenings, book talks, a roundtable discussion with renowned archivists, and tours of the Dryden Theatre projection booth. The Dryden Theatre at George Eastman House is one of the world's few remaining venues that can project nitrate film, the flammable film stock used from the beginning of motion pictures through the middle of the twentieth century. Film titles will be kept secret until the start of the festival, but all are vintage 35mm nitrate prints. Festival passes: $150 ($125 members & students) Single screening ticket: $20 ($18 members & students)

The asymmetrical composition of half timbered gables, bays and banks of large original double hung windows lends a sense of quaint repose. Proceeding to a shallow side porch, a large slab oak door gives way to a small vestibule and open stair hall. The stair hall with its pair of large arched openings acts as a threshold space between the front and rear of the house. At the front, the large living room features a bay window, oak hardwood floors and stained gumwood trim, which continues throughout the house. On one wall a wood burning brick fireplace is flanked by built-in bookcases and topped by a heavy wood mantel; directly opposite through another large arch is the light-filled sunroom. Across the hall at the rear of the house is the generous dining room with a striking built-in corner china with leaded glass doors, as well as a pair of French doors leading to the screened rear porch. The
kitchen is large with plentiful storage and counter space provided by the original cabinetry that features Brainerd Hardware! The checkerboard linoleum tile floor, tin ceiling, and arched nook framing a view to the backyard complete this jewel of a space. Directly off the kitchen is a convenient first floor powder room as well as the stairs to the basement and secondary entrance. The second floor has three bedrooms, two of which have extra storage space behind discrete built-in doors, and a shared full bath that retains its original scored plaster detailing. The central hall has a built-in linen closet and access to the walk-up attic. The attic is partially finished, insulated, bright, and awaiting your creativity. The basement is large and open. In the backyard is a one car garage with its original folding doors and peculiar automotive access pit in the floor, perfect for the car enthusiast. This 1,416 square foot home, with its countless original windows, porches, and access to the nearby park, is an idyllic mix of Craftsman style design within a Tudor Revival aesthetic.

ASSISTANCE. The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure.

To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained by New York State Banking Department at 1-877-Bank-NYS or visit the Department`s website at www.banking.state. ny.us FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.
