The children at the border

The issue of immigrant children pouring across the Texas border can, and in the end, must be understood as US foreign policy coming home to roost. Our historic good fortune and the protection on our east and west coasts by oceans has helped foster the delusion that foreign policy – boring and “out there” – and domestic policy are separate. In fact, they are not. The terrorized children from Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala are a crack in the egg of that delusion. One country that does not send us terrorized refugee children is Nicaragua. Of these four countries, only Nicaragua does not receive large, constant infusions of US military aid. Nicaragua alone has not succumbed to US proxy military aggression. (Remember Reagan’s “freedom fighters,” the illegally funded Contras?) With poverty second only to Haiti’s, Nicaragua has a popular leftist government that actually provides services and security to its citizens, including health care. Children are safe there, since there are no paramilitary marauding gangs with US weapons, unlike Honduras, Columbia, and Salvador. The militarized right-wing governments in these countries are the beneficiaries of US military aid year after year. By these means, the US insures the militarization of these countries, whose children flee in terror (“foreign policy coming home to roost”). 2 CITY

The support for right-wing militaries, paramilitaries, and dictators in these countries creates a climate of fear, deep insecurity, and lawlessness. Regarding many of the letters to City: confusion and distortion arise from a lack of perspective about the relationship of foreign and domestic policy. This can be seen in the complaints about “costs to taxpayers.” The complaints are easy to understand and sympathize with, but they completely distort meaningful perspective, since our foreign policy and militarized economy are non-productive, hugely destructive, and cost trillions, not millions or billions. The taxpayer cost for social programs cannot be understood at all without reference to the elephant in the living room: military costs and the gross hubris of our unsustainable overreach and domination abroad. Our foreign policy of hegemony is not working, and one proof is in the pudding of fleeing, terrorized children. MIKE CONNELLY

Judging the border children

A new moral banner for the masses could read: “No Child Left Behind!” The reader who spouted his litany of grievances in Feedback and prayed that the crisis at the border can get “worked out” but “not on our backs,” made me wonder: whose “backs” and what “God” is the gentleman talking about? Regarding the 43,000plus unaccompanied kiddies now flooding Obama’s oval office from Central and South Americas, shouldn’t we be carefully distinguishing illegal immigrants from refugees? I was shocked when my she-roe Hillary Clinton coldly suggested the children should be sent back to their families ASAP. So much I guess for human compassion dominating the world stage in 2016.

City staff deserves praise

The Preservation Board and the City of Rochester’s economic development office deserve congratulations and thanks for working well with property owners regarding questions that arise in the development of properties. There are several defined districts where they have a say in moving forward with projects that enhance our city neighborhoods, increase business opportunities, and create jobs for our citizens. The city’s economic development office has provided information about grants and other business incentives that move the city’s economic picture forward. Matt McCarthy in particular has been open and approachable, with advice and help concerning several proposals for development of neglected properties that can be returned to viable and desirable business sites. Recently I have had to work with several city and town authorities regarding development projects of different sizes. The staff at the Preservation Board, especially Peter Siegrist, have followed up when they promised to get back to us, have freely given us contact information for other people we need to work with, and have made it easy to move ahead when deadlines are involved that impact other issues. I can’t help but contrast this level of cooperation and accessibility with what I have experienced with some of the local town building departments. Some of these departments seem to make it very difficult to get necessary approvals in place to work on construction projects. One local town has made a recent project much more complicated than seems necessary to accomplish what we all want: safe, efficient buildings and well-managed projects that are on target for budget needs and site production schedules.

a difference people with a cooperative attitude at the City of Rochester economic development office and the Preservation Board make! DAVE NORBUT

Go back to neighborhood schools

I have had the opportunity to experience a childhood growing up in the town of Irondequoit, and then as a young adult raising my family in the Tenth Ward neighborhood. It takes a village to raise a child. At one point in our city’s school district history, each high school had neighborhood boundaries. Our children went to school with each other from kindergarten through high school, and families got to know one another. The school was a point of pride for the neighborhood. It was the people of the neighborhood who built a better school system, not the politicians or school boards. By having a neighborhood high school, local businesses would get behind schools like they do in the suburbs. And that would put parents in walking distance of their schools. You could greatly reduce the cost of busing (taxpayer dollars), and put those savings back into buying the books that are so badly needed. A neighborhood working together could eliminate much of the cost of government-funded (taxpayer dollars) breakfast and lunch programs. Local church groups working with people on welfare could supply the labor of making lunches for school kids. Stop blaming the teachers for under-performance. Let’s get our educators out of what I call the “educational arms race.” We see TV commercials comparing the USA’s test scores to those of other countries. We really should be teaching something relevant

and obtainable that would spark the interest in a student for a possible career choice. Especially given the city’s high dropout rate, should we be teaching trigonometry or trades? (This is not to say that there aren’t successful students in the city school system who aspire to go to college.) Let’s produce confident students who will later become confident leaders. Let’s teach our students real skills and a work ethic that they can use in their personal life and the working world. If the city wants the success that the suburban schools seem to enjoy, then do what they are doing. Bring back the neighborhood schools that once produced a successful City of Rochester school system. This won’t fix all the problems, but could be a good start. HOWARD NIELSEN

Parker’s Rochester

Loss of living-wage jobs with benefits combined with white flight, not willfully poor educators, is why the RCSD is in the shape it is. The biggest indicator of a child’s success in school is his/her parent’s income level – a stable job with good benefits and placement in an economically integrated school. Replace public schools with charters, break unions, and continue defacto segregation policies and the results will continue to be on par with Kodak’s demise. LINDA LOPATA

Sandra Parker’s free-market thinking makes it OK to give tax incentives to already successful businesses “because we are facing competition” but not to pay a living to people who are facing heating and grocery bills, paying for day care, and just trying to get by. That is the real competition. Every time I start to get a little hope for our city, people like Parker bring me back to the reality that we are truly divided in our thinking. JEFF LINN

Parker’s Rochester

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

The Ferguson warning As if we needed one, the news out of Ferguson, Missouri, is yet another reminder of the divide between black and white Americans, one that is having serious consequences. Ferguson deserves the focus it’s getting, not only because the killing of Michael Brown was such a tragedy but also because the early police reaction to the protests was such an outrage. And despite the violence that has erupted during the protests, there’ve been two positive developments: widespread criticism of Ferguson police officers’ response and media coverage of the police use of military equipment. The news about Ferguson will die down eventually, though. And another big story will grab our attention. And that’ll be yet another tragedy. Because the Ferguson developments have roots. Those roots exist throughout the country. They exist in Rochester. They existed in Rochester in 1964, and they’re every bit as alive now. All last month – with speeches, articles, radio and television programs, exhibits – Rochester observed the 50th anniversary of the ’64 riots. But you have to wonder: During all of that solemn introspection, did we learn anything? Anything that will result in significant change? There was plenty to learn. But it wouldn’t be a surprise if the only role the anniversary played was to refresh the memories of people who already knew about the riots and to provide a localhistory lesson for those who didn’t. In Ferguson, black community leaders have tried to insure that the protests are peaceful, but there’s been violence anyway, as there was in the Rochester riots. And Ferguson is giving communities like Rochester a warning. This community won’t come to grips with its own racial and economic divide – and the warning from Ferguson – overnight. But at the least, we can begin to recognize that the roots of the protesters’ explosion are the same as the roots of Rochester’s 1964 riots. And there are some things we should do right now. First, we can become informed about the militarization of our own police departments – what equipment they have, the policies for its use, and the circumstances under which it can be used. Late last week, this publication’s news staff asked the Rochester Police Department and City Hall for information about the RPD’s military equipment and policies. By Tuesday afternoon, we hadn’t gotten an answer. There are indeed occasions when police officers might need to have that equipment. But the public has a right to know what

Brown’s killing “is not the root cause of Ferguson’s violence,” writes Tufts Professor Peniel Joseph. It’s “the spark that triggered it.” the equipment is – and the policies and justification for using it. Second, we need to thoroughly assess the criminal justice system: drug policies, stop-and-frisk policies, loitering policies, all the things that humiliate, dehumanize, and criminalize so many young black youths. And third, we need to get serious, at last, about addressing the roots of the problem that are at the heart of all this – in Ferguson, in Rochester, throughout the country. “Make no mistake,” Tufts University Professor Peniel E. Joseph wrote on The Root earlier this week. “Brown’s killing is not the root cause of Ferguson’s violence. It’s merely the spark that triggered it. Poverty, segregation, unemployment, and a climate of anti-black racism haunt tiny Ferguson and the wider St. Louis metropolitan area. Riots, Dr. King reminded us, are ‘the language of the unheard’ and oppressed.” The 1964 riots shocked Rochester. Leaders of the white community hadn’t seen them coming, couldn’t understand why they had happened, and didn’t see that they bore any responsibility, for the cause or for the solution. Fifty years later, some things have gotten better. But the poverty, segregation, unemployment, and racism remain. In fact, they have grown. In a recent New York Times column, Charles Blow quoted Langston Hughes: “What happens to a dream deferred?” “Today,” wrote Blow, “I must ask: What happens when one desists from dreaming, when the very exercise feels futile?” Rochester, like Ferguson, has plenty of alienated people for whom dreaming seems futile. But too many of us, like the Rochesterians of 1964, don’t see them. And Ferguson seems far away. rochestercitynewspaper.com

Mott’s to expand

Mott’s will expand its processing plant in Williamson. Through a multimillion dollar project, the company will add new manufacturing lines and updated machines, and is also doing renovations. A press release from Empire State Development says that Mott’s, which is owned by the Dr. Pepper Snapple Group, will receive tax incentives for the expansion, and that the company will add 20 jobs.

Church demolition approved with conditions

Developer Marvin Maye received permission from the city’s Zoning Board to demolish the historic church at 660 West Main Street for an unnamed grocery store. The Landmark Society and some residents in the nearby Susan B. Anthony neighborhood strongly oppose the demolition. The board’s decision is contingent on Maye providing the board with proof of financing and plans for the store.

Report calls for stronger collaboration

Education consultants hired by the Rochester school district to exam-

ine the district’s lowest performing schools reported some unexpected findings. They said that too many city teachers work in isolation in their classrooms instead of collaborating with stronger teachers. Curriculum development is also a problem, they said, while student behavior is not a significant issue. The findings sparked outrage among some teachers.

News

Rochester’s test scores remain low

The State Education Department released assessment results for grades 3 to 8. In Rochester’s schools, the percentage of students scoring at proficiency or above improved from 4.8 percent in 2013 to 6.8 percent in 2014. And the number of students meeting proficiency increased to 5.7 percent from 5.6 percent in 2013. The scores reflect the first year of assessments linked to the Common Core curriculum. Although Rochester made some modest improvements, the scores for the city school district remain the lowest of the big five districts in New York. Critics say that the scores are not reliable, however, because the state lowered the scores for passing.

DEVELOPMENT | BY JEREMY MOULE

New Henrietta housing plan Campus Crest, a Charlotte, North Carolina-based developer, has revived its proposed student housing project in Henrietta. The developer wants to build an off-campus housing option for students at the Rochester Institute of Technology. It would be a privately owned development, not an RIT dorm: 225 units, 600-bed on 20 acres of a 73-acre property it owns between East River Road and Bailey Road, next to the RIT campus. Campus Crest owns similar developments across the country. The company proposed a similar project last year, but ultimately withdrew it after vigorous opposition

from nearby residents. Residents said they were concerned about the development generating additional traffic on East River Road and also about its visual impact. Engineers tried to address those concerns in the new proposal, says John Caruso, president of Passero Associates, which is working for Campus Crest on the project. They changed the project layout so that the buildings are located deeper in the site, better separating them from the nearby single-family houses, Caruso says. And they moved the access road to Bailey Road, which should address the concerns about traffic on East River Road, he says.

M U S I C F E AT U R E

Campus Crest representatives haven’t discussed the revised plans with neighbors, though they are working with town officials to set up community meetings on the project, Caruso says. To proceed, the company needs the Town Board to rezone the 20-acre project site. Company representatives presented the proposal to Town Board members last week and received some positive feedback. Town Supervisor Jack Moore said the project has potential to draw some students out of town neighborhoods and back near the campus. “I think it’s a different project,” said Town Board member Janet Zinck.

“When you don’t know who the other people are, when there’s a divide that’s already there, you see black people and poor people and Hispanic people as the ‘other.’ When you see them as the other, you’re going to treat them like the enemy.” [ THE REV. LEWIS STEWART ]

SOCIAL JUSTICE | BY CITY NEWS STAFF

Coalition to push for police reform A coalition to change the way policing is done in Rochester will present a package of suggested reforms to City Council in the near future, says the Rev. Lewis Stewart, president of the United Christian Leadership Ministry. Coalition members want an independent civilian review board with subpoena power, Stewart says, and they want police officers to wear body cameras. They also want the demographic details of people who are ticketed by police — race, gender, age — documented, so the public can see whether officers are profiling, he says. The Coalition for Police Reform includes Stewart’s church as well as other churches in the community, and members of the social justice groups Take Back the Land and Enough is Enough, Stewart says. Coalition members are also working with City Council member Adam McFadden, who is chair of council’s Public Safety Committee. The coalition formed prior to the fatal shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, on August 9. Outrage over the shooting lead to days of rioting, and questions have been raised about police profiling, aggression, and the militarization of law enforcement.

Images coming out of Ferguson show law enforcement wearing military type gear and using military vehicles. A particularly striking image depicts a uniformed man pointing a machine gun into a crowd of protestors. The gun is mounted on top of an armored vehicle. “Ferguson, Missouri, is a small town of about 20,000 people,” says a statement from Congress member Louise Slaughter. “Why would police officers, who want to protect and serve that community, feel the need to confront demonstrators in full riot gear and in military vehicles with mounted guns? It seems we are overmilitarizing the police to the detriment of the First Amendment.” Stewart says that the militaristic presentation instills fear and intimidation, while also serving as a potent symbol of the racial and class divides in American culture. It also lessens any chance of productive dialogue — widening instead of narrowing the gulf between the involved parties, he says. “It makes you feel that you are not a citizen of the United States, but a citizen of a third world country,” Stewart says. “When you don’t know who the other people are, when there’s a divide that’s already there,

you see black people and poor people and Hispanic people as the ‘other.’ When you see them as the other, you’re going to treat them like the enemy.” Locally, the Rochester Police Department didn’t FILE PHOTO respond to questions about its equipment and tactics in time for this story. Council member McFadden says that the RPD does have a mine-resistant truck and that Police Chief Michael Ciminelli decides when and how the truck is used. The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office has an armored personnel carrier for its SWAT team, says spokesperson John Helfer, and it has some military-style weapons. SWAT may be deployed for situations involving an active shooter, hostages, or a distraught person, Helfer says. The team is also deployed at the request of other police departments, he says. SWAT would “not necessarily” be used for crowd control, he says. But it’s not just the larger departments that have military-style

equipment. The Irondequoit Police Department, for example, has two Humvees acquired free of cost from the Department of Defense, says Supervisor Adam Bello. One vehicle is armored, he says, and the other is not. Irondequoit Police Chief Richard Tantalo says that while there are no hard and fast rules governing use of the vehicles, the armored Humvee may be helpful in evacuating people from dangerous situations and in other unforeseen events. The decision to use the vehicles would be made by upper-level people in the police department, Tantalo says. The smaller, unarmored Humvee may be used to transport officers to and from training exercises, he says.

EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Administration problems add to Vargas’s challenges Rochester schools Superintendent Bolgen Vargas says he’s making progress in improving city schools, and results are coming. But he faces some serious problems that he says could roll everything backward: open resistance from the administrators union and several changes among top administrators in central office. Vargas is at a key point in his tenure with the district. He’s no longer the new guy, able to avoid criticism for the policies of previous superintendents. And he’s reached that time when parents, teachers, and community leaders grow impatient for tangible results in the form of higher test scores and graduation rates. It’s also a time when many superintendents in urban school districts buckle under the pressure and bail. Vargas knows all of this, and he says he’s going nowhere. And he has begun to push back at a problem he says is blocking progress: a union contract that limits the way he manages school administrators. Vargas made a not-so-subtle reference to that problem in his recent State of the Schools presentation. He showed a slide picturing a bullish-looking elephant blocking a school hallway, with the inscription: “There is an elephant in the room!” A newspaper headline across the bottom of the image referred to the vote of no confidence against him by ASAR – the Association of Supervisors and Administrators of Rochester – the union representing principals and other school administrators and some central office administrators. The message that his progress at improving the district was being blocked by managerial conflicts couldn’t have been clearer. Many of the district’s most entrenched problems, Vargas says, can be resolved with

greater cooperation at the administrative level. He acknowledges that he’s made some mistakes, such as the clumsy way Armando Ramirez, the former Monroe High School principal, learned that he would not have that position when school opens in the fall. Ramirez found out about Vargas’s decision by reading a school board agenda posted on the district’s website. “The mistake was mine,” Vargas says. “I’ve apologized for that many times.” But despite the error in informing Ramirez, Vargas believed that Ramirez needed to be moved to another school. He needs to be able to make decisions like that, he says. He is expected to dramatically improve student achievement, he says, and to do that, he needs the ability to make key personnel decisions. The current ASAR 6 CITY

contract isn’t flexible enough to manage urban schools in the 21st century, he says. Vargas uses a baseball metaphor to describe the problem. How would a sports team ever win a game, he asks, if its manager couldn’t move his star players into the right positions when needed? The goal is for the team to win, not for the players to play. “I want every school to have the very best principal possible,” he says. That doesn’t mean ineffective principals are being shuffled from one building to another, he says: a principal could be a bad match for one school and good for another. But Sandy Jordan, president of ASAR, disagrees with Vargas’s assessment of the current labor agreement and his insistence on the need for more flexibility. “We serve at the superintendent’s pleasure,” Jordan says. “I think our contract is very flexible. He can move principals around to any position in the district.” And in fact Vargas did move Ramirez from Monroe High School to All-City High. But when Vargas exercised that flexibility, it set off a community uproar. That’s a familiar story. Vargas and ASAR haven’t reached an

agreement on a new contract. And Vargas made some other changes during the last year that haven’t been popular. For instance, Vargas he says he is granting tenure to principals more

cautiously than was customary in the past. And principals must provide teacher evaluations to him before the teachers will be awarded tenure. “I had teachers being recommended for tenure before they were even evaluated,” Vargas says. And he’s also been critical about such contract requirements as having to pay some administrators more to work on days when bad weather might be a safety concern for children, but isn’t for adults. Those issues and others resulted in ASAR’s no-confidence vote earlier this year, adding to a sense of instability the district was already wrestling with. Chronic instability – from state-mandated reforms to school closings – is one of the main drivers in the district’s declining student enrollment, Vargas says. The district is losing students to charter and suburban schools, which Vargas calls the “worst threat to city schools.” An additional problem: Vargas has lost several senior-level administrators over the last year. Vargas says he’s been able to hire exceptionally qualified people to replace them, including one lured from a suburban Rochester district. But school-level administrators take much of their direction from central office administrators, and the number of changes in leadership at the top of the organization has some board members scratching their heads. And some principals say that the changes in leadership are adding more instability to a system that is already shaky. “Teachers have similar concerns,” says Rochester Teachers Association President Adam Urbanski. Can Vargas build stability while pushing major changes through the

district’s culture and operations at the same time? This has been a real challenge for Vargas – and his predecessors. Vargas says he hasn’t overwhelmed the organization with personnel changes. He promised the board that he would right-size the district, he says, and he’s done that with as little disruption as possible. He says he’s reduced the number of employees at every level mainly through attrition. “When I joined this district in 2011, 12 schools were being closed,” he says. “I had to find places for all of those principals.” Vargas says he’s laid the foundation during the last two years to help bring about the academic turnaround that parents, board members, and community leaders want. Focusing on the basics – improving attendance, getting all students to read by third grade, and providing more instruction time – should lead to long-term improvements, he says. And for the first time since becoming superintendent, he’s made projections about student achievement. For instance, he wants to see the district’s third-grade reading proficiency, which is now only 5 percent, climb to 25 percent by the 2015-2016 school year. And he wants the graduation rate, now at about 48 percent, to reach 65 percent by the 2015-2016 school year. In the end, the stability that everyone in the district says they want will come about only with improvements in student achievement, Vargas says; one leads to the other. “I beg the adults in this organization to focus on the children, and not manufacture issues that are not there,” Vargas says.

Will New York regulators stop The Comcast-Time Warner deal?

Critics tend to talk about corporate mergers the way they talk about B-movie monsters. And why not? Sometimes, corporations are like the Blob: constantly growing, swallowing up everything in their path. Some get so big that entire cities are at their mercy. So it goes with the proposed Comcast-Time Warner Cable merger. If approved, the merger would make Comcast, already the largest pay TV and broadband Internet provider in the country, even bigger. And directly and indirectly, the deal would influence what Rochesterians see on their televisions and how they access the Internet, as well as what they pay for both. Whether the changes would be for better or for worse is an open question, though many consumer advocates, good-government groups, and members of the public expect the worst. “In this situation, where we’re dealing with behemoth telecommunication companies, the consumer and the public interest tend to get completely overlooked, and it’s all about what’s most profitable for this gargantuan entity,” says Susan Lerner, executive director of Common Cause New York, which opposes the merger. Under the terms of the deal, Comcast would swallow up Time Warner Cable through a $45.2 billion all-stock deal. Instead of cash, Time Warner Cable stockholders would get shares in the new, bigger Comcast. The proposed merger, which the companies announced in February, still has to clear regulatory reviews at the state and federal levels, as well as a federal antitrust review. If the merger happens, approximately 30 percent of pay TV subscribers in the country would be Comcast customers. Comcast and Time Warner are already the top two providers of broadband Internet in the country. So a bigger Comcast would hold an even larger share of that customer base. Comcast and Time Warner naturally put a positive spin on the potential consolidation. They say the new, bigger Comcast would have resources to improve its network and services and to expand its infrastructure into underserved areas.

The company would also be in a better position to compete against its national peers, such as Dish, DirecTV, Verizon, and AT&T, Comcast says in factsheets on the merger. But what Comcast and Time Warner Cable like about the merger is also the reason critics and consumer advocates say that the deal shouldn’t happen. The new company would be too big, they say, and the public would pay the price: The new Comcast would have David Renner (right), coordinator for Penfield's community access channel, says too much negotiating power, the Comcast-Time Warner Cable merger could present opportunities for local would be difficult to regulate public access channels. PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLIN effectively, and could become a television and digital content John Bergmayer, a senior staff attorney with Public gatekeeper. One of the critics’ biggest concerns is Knowledge, a tech policy advocacy group opposed to Comcast’s support for the idea of Internet fast lanes, which would allow Internet providers to charge online both mergers. When the distributors and cable companies start services for faster access to customers. merging, Bergmayer says, the content companies Critics say the bigger companies could better begin to worry about the providers’ buying afford to pay for that access, while smaller companies and negotiating power. And they start making and startups would be stuck at base-level speeds. The Internet is supposed to be a level playing field, and the consolidation moves, too, he says. For example, Fox recently made an $80 billion offer to Time Warner arrangements could stifle innovation, they argue. Inc. (which is a separate company from Time Warner Opponents of the deal also fear that the merger Cable). Time Warner rejected the bid and Fox would trigger a new wave of telecommunications executives have since halted efforts to woo the studio. and media consolidation. Soon after the Comcast “Because these mergers tend to come in waves and TWC deal was announced, AT&T and DirecTV each one justifies the next one, that’s a very important announced their own merger plans. AT&T would reason why you really have to stop the first one,” purchase the satellite television provider for $48.5 Bergmayer says. “You really can’t just wave mergers million, though the deal also requires federal through, as regulators sometimes want to do.” regulatory and antitrust approvals. Like Comcast, AT&T sees the acquisition as a At the federal level, the Comcast-Time Warner Cable matter of content and delivery. But it also sees the merger requires licensing approvals from the Federal acquisition as a way to compete with cable. Communications Commission and antitrust clearance “It really shows one of the biggest problems with from the Department of Justice. these mergers, which is it creates an arms race,” says

Right now, opponents are focused on the FCC’s review. The commission is taking comments on the proposed merger through August 25, and it will consider public input and petitions as part of its decision-making. Comments can be submitted via e-mail to openinternet@fcc.gov. A handful of states are reviewing the merger as well, since the deal involves the transfer of cable infrastructure from one company to another. In simple terms, state utilities regulators have to give Comcast permission to assume Time Warner Cable’s local or state cable franchises. So for Comcast to take over Time Warner Cable’s New York operation, for example, it needs the approval of the state’s Public Service Commission. And to get that approval, Comcast has to convince the commissioners that the deal is in the public’s interest. In presentations at PSC public hearings, Comcast executives laid out the company’s contributions to the state. It added jobs in New York after acquiring NBCUniversal in 2011, they said, and brought production of some television programs — including the Tonight Show — back to New York City. They also tout the company’s plans to invest in and upgrade Time Warner’s systems, though they haven’t specified how much Comcast plans to invest. And the executives play up a Comcast program that gives lowincome households access to cable Internet; that program, however, has very narrow criteria for who qualifies. New York’s review is crucial for the merger as a whole, since Time Warner operates in the lucrative New York City market. Comcast is very interested in that foothold, just as it’s interested in Time Warner’s Los Angeles and Dallas subscribers. Opponents have said that if the New York PSC rules against the merger, the deal could fall apart. So consumer and progressive groups have focused on the PSC’s review. The PSC’s comment period has closed, but the commission will continue accepting submissions throughout the review; its decision is expected in October. Comments can be sent to secretary@dps.ny.gov. The commission has received close to 3,000 comments on the proposed merger; the vast majority oppose it, though many of them appear to be form letters. Many of the opponents say that they’ve had lousy customer service from either Time Warner or Comcast. And they express frustration with the lack of cable competition in New York, particularly with regard to high-speed Internet service. Supporters of the deal — mostly charities and nonprofits that get support from Comcast, as well as some business groups — have also submitted comments to the PSC. Comcast and its critics take a different view of

what constitutes competition.

During a conference call with investors, Comcast chair and CEO Brian Roberts said that the deal “will not reduce competition in any relevant market” since Comcast and Time Warner don’t compete in any ZIP code. In other words, the company claims the deal won’t decrease competition in local markets because cable companies don’t compete within them anyway. Comcast execs say that the company is concerned with competition at the national scale. If it serves more customers, especially those in key markets, it’ll be able to negotiate favorable terms for content, including cable channels and the online services that make heavy use of its Internet networks, they says. But Comcast has its own programming interests to protect, since it owns NBCUniversal. And some consumer watchdogs worry that the bigger company would use its leverage to promote its own programming or provide that content with an advantage on Comcast’s systems. That sort of behavior could be subtle, at least to the public. Common Cause’s Lerner points to a legal battle between Bloomberg TV and Comcast as an example. Bloomberg TV is a competitor of Comcastowned CNBC, and at one point a few years ago, Comcast moved Bloomberg away from other news channels on the cable lineup. The FCC intervened and ruled that Comcast had to put Bloomberg back with the other news channels.

Comcast

“It was done deliberately, even though they promised when they bought NBC they would never do that,” Lerner says. The company also has a big interest in bundling, or putting together packages of channels and services. In theory, the packages are supposed to give consumers an easy way to buy programming or services they want. In practice, companies use the practice to force consumers into paying for things they don’t want just to get the few options they desire. Public Knowledge’s Bergmayer says his concern with mergers isn’t what the company would do in the next year or what it’s done in the past. Instead, regulators ought to consider whether the merger creates financial incentives for the company to engage in behaviors that aren’t good for consumers. For example, would its size and distribution channels give it clout to negotiate a higher price for its products and services, while cutting what it’s willing to pay for content from other networks and studios? Consumers tend to think about competition in terms of customer service and options. If they’re unhappy with a product or service, they want to be able to buy it from someone else. In the video market, they can do that to a degree, if they’re willing to switch from satellite to cable. Most consumers have little choice for high-speed Internet and are stuck with the cable company as their provider.

Because consumers know they’ll be stuck with Comcast as their Internet provider, many are concerned about what the company might charge for Internet access. And some users and consumer advocates are concerned with how the company might treat data traffic on its networks. At the same time that the FCC is reviewing

the proposed Comcast-Time Warner merger, it’s also advancing a net neutrality proposal. Net neutrality is the concept that Internet providers should treat all data equally, regardless of the source. But the FCC’s proposed open Internet rules would allow paid prioritization of data and content. That’s the “fast lane,” where online companies – think digital video services – pay Internet providers for faster connections to their mutual subscribers. The public seems to hate that idea. The FCC has received more than 1.1 million comments on its open Internet proposal — many ripping the fast-lane component. In comments submitted to the FCC, Comcast executives say they support the concept. They add, however, that the company doesn’t have any existing fast-lane agreements, nor does it plan to enter any. But post-merger Comcast would be the biggest broadband provider in the country. continues on page 28 rochestercitynewspaper.com

The World Café Atlas Eats 2185 NORTH CLINTON AVENUE, IRONDEQUOIT THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY: 11 A.M. TO 3 P.M.; FRIDAY AND SATURDAY: DINNER SEATINGS AT 6 P.M. AND 8:30 P.M. 544-1300; ATLAS-EATS.COM [ REVIEW ] BY LAURA REBECCA KENYON

The most delicious scallops I’ve eaten in a long time were cooked in a small, mom-andpop storefront in Irondequoit. Caught wild off the coast of New England and a little over an inch tall, the scallops had been seared until their tops and bottoms developed a light brown crust. On the tongue they tasted sweet and lovely; tender but firm. They were perched on a bed of lightly mashed white beans, which grounded the dish; dotted with fat, olive-colored capers that added briny complexity; and drizzled with browned butter, lending a nutty richness. The scallops were part of the Tour de France menu in Atlas Eats’ Edible Atlas dining

series. Though Atlas Eats serves breakfast and lunch Thursday through Sunday, they offer a $35 prix fixe dinner menu on Friday and Saturday nights. With two seatings on those nights, the shop’s Edible Atlas menus are preset and focus on world cuisine. In addition to the scallops, I happily ate my way through four more Tour de France courses, starting with a Pissaladière. It’s like a French pizza, comprised of a delicately flaky and buttery puff pastry, a touch of pissalat (a blend of anchovies, spices and olive oil that give a taste of the sea), a layer of cheese which browned and bubbled in the oven, and salty olives. A vichyssoise was cool and creamy with a garnish of beets and herbed mousse; the salat Niçoise had crisp vegetables and perfectly cooked tuna. For dessert, tarte aux fruits rouge: a thin pastry shell filled with a brightly flavored lemon pastry cream, topped with plump, locally grown berries, and plated with a tangy, three-varieties-of-plum sauce. It was an unexpected, well-executed, and just plain fun dining experience — all from a tiny, luncheonette-style spot on North Clinton Avenue.

Atlas Eats is, as co-owner and manager Diane Brinkman puts it, a family affair.

This is the third restaurant for Brinkman and her husband Gerry, Atlas’ co-owner and chef. Previously the pair ran The Rochester Club on East Avenue and the Wellesley Hotel and Restaurant in the Thousand Islands; they earned their restaurant chops while in college, working as servers at Geneseo’s Big Tree Inn. Their daughter, Anna Brinkman, is Atlas’ sous chef; Anna is a graduate of the culinary program at Johnson & Wales University. The Brinkman’s other daughter, Emma Brinkman, and her husband, Ben Eskind, own the Pachamama Farm in Farmington, and provide the majority of produce to Atlas during the growing season. (Pachamama provides produce to a number of notable restaurants, including The Revelry, Good Luck, and Lento.) And, while not genetically-related, Atlas’ baker, Brenda Robak, is like family, having worked with the Brinkmans in all of their restaurants and investing in the restaurants' culinary quality. You can see this on display

kimchee pancakes ($4.99), made with a whole wheat batter that stays light and fluffy. Inside the tender pancake is lightly crunchy kimchee, which balances acid with sweetness. The cake is topped with a poached egg, complete with a rich, liquid yolk, and a spicy sweet, dragon sauce the color of cinnamon candies. The best bites of pancake have soaked up the liquids of both. The hummus plate ($7.95) comes with slices of Robak’s bread and a seasonal accompaniment: one day, it was a brisklyflavored olive tapenade; on another, a scoop of a roasted-until-tender eggplant, marinated with vinegar. The hummus itself (listed on the menu as made with chi-chi beans, another name for chickpeas) was extraordinarily creamy and rich, lightly flavored with garlic and tahini. The menu becomes even more interesting with specials and spins on standard items, like the homemade cavatelli di giorno ($8.95). Cavatelli is like gnocchi but made with ricotta rather than potatoes. The version I tried was luscious, tossed with a summery pesto made with good olive oil and al dente hunks of summer squash. Other dishes to try include kimchee fried rice with tofu ($8.95); egg and bacon on a house-baked cheddar cheese biscuit ($4.99); and bread pudding, loaded with chocolate, summer berries, and butter. For breakfast and lunch, Atlas Eats will not take reservations for parties fewer than 5. For the Edible Atlas dinner series, reservations are required and the menu changes every two weeks. This weekend’s series highlights the Caribbean, with dishes from Jamaica, Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and Belize. If you can’t catch it, no worries; next weekend will usher in a different menu with a different global cuisine, and I have no doubt that the food will be just as delicious.

The cover to Buffalo Sex Change’s debut full-length does a good job framing the vibe for the album. It’s a black and white photo; two guys, black leather jackets, sunglasses, and a motorcycle, set against a brick wall with some heavy shadows. It’s the kind of cover you would dig out of a thick stack of garage sale vinyl gems — if the collector was into early70’s lo-fi garage rock. The self-titled album’s 12 tracks hold the idea up. Buffalo Sex Change, a Rochesterbased drum-and-guitar duo, have crafted a solid album that puts a fresh spin on the gritty rock ‘n’ roll that came out of the time of The Stooges. With lots of reverb, pounding drums, and low tones, Buffalo Sex Change takes garage rock out of its comfort zone by blending in some post-punk and surf rock — though here it sounds like surfing a dark wave while wielding a knife. Occasionally the album’s raw, lo-fi nature can come across muddled, but there’s a lot of apparent immediacy to this album. From “Gender Unknown” — the album’s first track that makes me wonder what Iggy Pop could have done with some surf licks — to the more confrontational “Caroline,” and the contemplatively dark “Holy Ghost Fire,” Phil Pierce (guitar, vocals, and bass) and Clayton Eddy (drums, vocals, and bass) came out strong and swinging with “Buffalo Sex Change.” — BY JAKE CLAPP

Music history includes many Bachs. Johann Sebastian, who lived from 1685 to 1750, was the greatest of his musical family and still the best known to us. But Europe boasted other Bachs throughout the 17th and 18th century, and among the most prominent was one of Johann Sebastian’s sons, Carl Philipp Emanuel. In his lifetime, Johann was considered a rather old-fashioned composer. The revival of his music began in the early 19th century, and it has been considered one of the cornerstones of western culture ever since. C.P.E., who was born in 1714 and died in 1788, has not been so lucky. He wrote a lot of music, from largescale choral works, to early examples of the symphony, to chamber and keyboard music. Much of it was famous and influential in his own time, but little of it is heard these days. A pair of concerts this weekend by members of Publick Musick will give some examples of music by father and son, and perhaps show why Carl Philipp Emanuel deserves more attention. He has been receiving a bit more of it lately: C.P.E. celebrates his 300th birthday in 2014, and quite a few recordings of his works are coming out; in fact he was “Gramophone” magazine’s cover boy a few issues ago. (Publick Musick is also anticipating Johann Sebastian Bach’s 330th anniversary in 2015.) The participating musicians are three

experienced practitioners of music in historically informed style. Keyboardist Andrus Madsen is the director of Newton Baroque in Newton, Massachusetts, and an active performer on the organ, clavichord, harpsichord, and fortepiano; violinist Boel Gidholm and cellist Christopher Haritatos, who live in Rochester, often perform in earlymusic concerts here. Carl Philipp Emanuel was the fifth of Johann Sebastian’s 20 children. Many of them went on to distinguished careers, but C.P.E.’s

was perhaps the most distinguished of all: For 30 years, he was the Kapellmeister, or chief court composer, to Frederick the Great of Prussia. “In the later 18th century, if anyone mentioned ‘Bach’, they were referring to Carl Philipp Emanuel,” Haritatos says. His music was forward-thinking for its day, and known for what was called Empfandseimkeit, or “expression of feelings.” It was proto-romantic in its extremes of emotion and dynamic range. In fact, more conservative musicians of the time found it sometimes a little too extreme. But others found it an inspiration — like Joseph Haydn, whose early symphonies and piano sonatas can be equally unpredictable. Haritatos and Godholm point out that C.P.E. Bach described his music as “für Kenner und Liebhaber” — for scholarly and for amateur musicians. Consequently he wrote in many different styles, from light, bright dance music to pieces with more sophisticated structures and emotions. C.P.E.’s long career is represented by early and late works: a movement from a dance suite demonstrates his lighter side, and a Fantasia in F-sharp minor for keyboard, written a year before his death in 1788, displays the mood swings which make his music so distinctive. (The piece quotes an earlier song stating “My thoughts are about death,” which helps explain its atmosphere.) The program contrasts the music of father and son, with Haritatos playing a J.S. Bach

solo cello suite, and Gidholm and Madsen performing one of his violin sonatas (with

Haritatos reinforcing the bass line on cello). The program also includes a work that has attributed to both Johann Sebastian and Carl Philipp Emanuel: a piano trio, which Gidholm calls “really a sonata for keyboard with violin and cello.” All three musicians will play copies of 18th-century instruments, which lend what Gidholm calls a “more transparent sound” to the instrumental blend. For string instruments, this involves the use of gut strings as opposed to metal, and differently shaped bows, among other things. And the keyboard will look nothing like a modern grand piano: in fact Madsen will be playing a copy of an instrument that would have been familiar to C.P.E. Bach in the mid-18th century. “The balance takes care of itself when you all play period instruments,” Gidholm says. “Everyone can play out without obliterating each other.” Gidholm and Haritatos are the current artistic directors of Publick Musick. The early music organization was founded in 1999 and run by Thomas Folan until 2007; Haritatos and Gidholm played in many of their concerts before they moved to Austin, Texas. Many of Publick Musick’s earlier concerts presented large-scale choral works; now the focus is more on vocal and instrumental chamber music. Upcoming concerts include an appearance at the Rochester Fringe Festival, and a December program of German Christmas music with the Memorial Art Gallery’s Italian baroque organ.

VARIOUS | WEST FEST

Dusty West, impresario of Eat Here Records, wants you to know that this year’s theme of his eponymously named fourth-annual event, West Fest, is “Destroy All Scenes.” While the local bands on the two-night line-up are aggressive, this festival is about making friends as it attempts to unite fans of a few specific genres to break down some musical barriers. Night one features grunge (Anchorage, Nebraska), straight-up rock (New City Slang), and punk (Sexy Teenagers, Envious Disguise, Black Ribbon). Night two presents a cross-section of stoner rock (Fox 45, pictured), metal (Order of the Dead, Abdicate), psychedelic rock (Comedown), and a little more grunge (Diluted). Check it out and stretch out of the normal comfort zone. West Fest is Thursday, August 21, and Friday, August 22, at The Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Avenue. 7:30 p.m. $8-$10.

JAZZ | TOM HARRELL’S “COLORS OF A DREAM”

AMERICANA | THE HONEYCUTTERS

Trumpet and flugelhorn player extraordinaire Tom Harrell has delighted audiences at two Rochester International Jazz Festivals. When he takes the stage at Hochstein Saturday he’ll be joined by a new, all-star band, “Colors of a Dream.” The group features bassist-vocalist and four-time Grammy Award winner Esperanza Spalding, who became the first jazz musician to win the “Best New Artist” award in 2011. When Spalding is busy singing some of Harrell’s original tunes, bass duties will be handled by Harrell’s bassist of 14 years, Ugonna Okegwo. The band also boasts tenor saxophonist Wayne Escoffery, alto saxophonist Jaleel Shaw and drummer Johnathan Blake.

The Honeycutters are a joyful celebration of emotions, presented in a country/roots/honkey-tonk mix. The band employs acoustic guitar, mandolin, pedal steel, bass, and drums as the setting for singer Amanda Anne Platt’s beautifully unadorned voice. Harmonies, rollicking jukeboxes, and the spirit of life and loss are the ingredients this band offers up. The music is simple and honest, with hooks that are as haunting as they are heartfelt. Hailing from Asheville, North Carolina, The Honeycutters come to town riding waves of accolades that expand far beyond the mountain home.

Tom Harrell’s “Colors of a Dream” performs Saturday, August 23, at Hochstein School of Music, 50 North Plymouth Avenue. 8 p.m. $33-$48, Students: $15. ExodusToJazz. com; BrownPaperTickets.com — BY RON NETSKY The Joe Santora Trio w/ Curtis Kendrick & Emily Kirchoff. Michael’s Valley

A scene from Greater Rochester Repertory Company’s production of “Noises Off.” PHOTO COURTESY GREATER ROCHESTER REPERTORY COMPANY

The show must go on [ REVIEW ] BY DAVID RAYMOND

If there is an Olympics of Theater, rehearsing and performing Michael Frayn’s “Noises Off” would be its equivalent of the triathlon: an endurance test for the participants, but a lot of fun to watch from the safety of one’s own chair. With its lovingly detailed look on backstage and onstage chaos, and the opportunities it gives actors to show off their timing and physical comedy, “Noises Off” is popular among theater people, so it gets performed fairly often despite its complexity. I have seen it several times, and I always welcome it back. Last weekend Greater Rochester Repertory Companies gave it a try at RAPA Playhouse, and it was as welcome as ever. “Noises Off” is the saga of the touring company of “Nothing On,” one of those bawdy, low-brow British farces full of slamming doors, mistaken identities, and comely young ladies running around in their knickers. Act One takes place during a fraught final rehearsal before opening night in Cleveland, when it becomes clear that a few of the company members are romantically involved; by Act Two, we are well into the run, and most of the members of the company have reasons (romantic and otherwise) to hate

each other, and sabotage one another’s entrances and exits unmercifully. By the third act and the last legs of the tour, we are in New Jersey, the cast is completely worn out, and “Nothing On” has hilariously decomposed onstage and off. Lines and entrances completely forgotten or completely off cue, props take on lives of their own (the telephone in this production deserved its own program credit), and there is a general air of chaotic, what-the-hell hilarity. This seeming chaos, of course, needs to be timed to the nanosecond by the director and actors. Director Eric Vaughn Johnson took a heterogeneous group of actors, ranging from the experienced to virtual firsttimers, and molded them into an excellent comic ensemble. A few cast members were making their stage debuts in this production, but you would have had a hard time guessing which ones. The play’s constantly shifting focus, with actors bouncing (and making noises) on and off, puts it in constant peril of becoming incoherent, but apart from a lost line or two, everything in this production registered just when it was supposed to, and with maximum hilarity. The second act, much of which takes place in pantomime involving all of the actors, was a real tour de force — constantly

funny and with the action always clear. And the third act was a riot: the funniest theatrical disaster imaginable. Frayn’s characters are deliberately sketchy, but the actors filled in the sketches ably. Katie Guy made a likeably confused character of the typical slatternly British housekeeper, using a Cockney accent slightly to the left of Angela Lansbury’s Mrs. Lovett. I don’t think the character Garry LeJeune actually finishes a sentence in the entire play, and actor Charlie Harrington had his dithering deceptive cadences down pat. Allie Treacy was delightfully dippy as Brooke, Garry LeJeune’s business partner and romantic interest in “Nothing On.” Billy DeMetsenaere and Audrey McGuire made a delightful couple — she briskly sensible and he terminally confused — offering some priceless facial expressions. Add Rob Tromp as the put-upon director and Stephanie Valliere and Jashawn Lee as the even more put-upon stage managers, and Rich Hughson as a veteran actor and veteran drunk, and you had an impressive and very funny ensemble. This may or may not have added up to “the funniest farce of all time,” as the ads promised, but “Noises Off” was surely the funniest time to be had onstage in town this month; I wish it was running longer.

Own Your Own Home ART | UKIYO-E: IMAGES OF THE FLOATING WORLD

Ukiyo-e wood block prints are among Japan’s most iconic pieces of art. Ukiyo-e, which means “pictures of the floating world,” often depicts folk tales, kabuki actors, and striking landscapes. Ock Hee’s Gallery offers an opportunity for Rochesterians to view these rare works of art, presenting an exhibition of some 30 ukiyo-e pieces, created throughout the 19th century. The exhibit includes prints by well-known artists like Hiroshige, who is considered the last great master of ukiyo-e. The ukiyo-e prints will be accompanied by a selection of katagami stencils, elaborate paper templates created to transfer patterns onto dyed textiles. “Ukiyo-e: Images of the Floating World” is on display at Ock Hee’s Gallery (2 Lehigh Street, Honeoye Falls), until October 18.

KIDS | “QUEST FOR THE KNOTTIES”

The “Knotties” — tiny, mystical woodland creatures created by local sculptor and Nazareth College associate professor Doot Bokelman — live deep on the trails of Ganondagan, adding a touch of fantasy to the historic site. To tell the story of the “Knotties” and their adventure with a group of youngsters, Bokelman wrote the children’s book “Knotties of Ganondagan,” which combines elements of Seneca culture with up-todate ecological issues. On Saturday, August 23, Friends of Ganondagan and the youth group, Children of the White Corn, are leading children on an adventure to find the “Knotties” along the trails. Families can learn more about the history of Ganondagan and the “Knotties,” take a Knottie House gallery tour, and create a new group story with Bokelman. “Quest for the Knotties” will take place Saturday, August 23, at Ganondagan State Historic Site, 1488 State Route 444, Victor. 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Advance admission is $50 for a family of four — includes Bokelman’s book and a Knottie house starter kit. Admission day of is $12 for adults and $8 for children up to 16. For more information, visit ganondagan.org. — BY JAKE CLAPP

1657 Mount Hope Ave | 262-3910 | abyssiniarochester.com

It’s no secret that some of history’s greatest writers liked to drink. And though alcohol may have done more harm than good for writers like Hemmingway, Joyce, and Faulkner, a drink, in moderation, can complement good literature. Writers and Books is hosting a pub crawl, bringing literary fanatics to three Rochester bars for drink specials and readings by local writers. Joanna Scott, Kristen Gentry, Bill Capossere, Nate Pritts, Sejal Shah (pictured), and Jacob Rakovan will share excerpts from their writing at The Daily Refresher, Skylark Lounge, and RocBrew. All proceeds from the event will support adult scholarships for classes at Writers and Books. The “Get Lit” pub crawl will take place Thursday, August 21, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., beginning at The Daily Refresher, 293 Alexander Street. The crawl is free, but attendees can pay $10 for access to drink specials.

WORKSHOP | COMICS FOR BEGINNERS

The art of comic book making tends to be a technical and highly intricate process. Sure, anyone can attack the construction of a comic book with reckless abandon, but quality comics, more often than not, come from those artists with the ability and wherewithal to really know what they’re doing. The Rochester Brainery’s Comics for Beginners class, taught by local comic book artist Justin Hubbell (pictured), is teaching hopefuls the foundations and basics necessary to create some great work. A lecture on the tools and techniques used by comic book artists will be backed up by a hands-on workshop, so anyone looking to dive into the world of comic book making should look no further. Comics for Beginners will take place Sunday, August 24, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., at the Rochester Brainery (247 North Goodman Street.) Admission is $16.

Back to the future again “The Giver”

(PG-13), DIRECTED BY PHILLIP NOYCE NOW PLAYING [ REVIEW ] BY GEORGE GRELLA

After a visit to the new Soviet Union in 1919, the great muckraking journalist Lincoln Steffens famously remarked, “I have seen the future and it works.” In Hollywood, for many years they have seen the future and … it sucks. Dystopia now replaces any possibility of happiness in the brave new world that we’d like to think constitutes the destination of our dreams.

Film Previews on page 29

Although both literature and cinema for many years imagined a dismal future for its contemporary context — the most important literary influences remain Aldous Huxley and George Orwell — the film industry adopted the concept wholeheartedly in the 1980’s, interestingly, during the presidency of Saint Ronald Reagan. In addition to the remake of “1984,” movies like “The Terminator,” the Mad Max trilogy, and “Escape from New York” created various versions of the time to come, all of them undesirable. In “The Giver,” the future, though clean, bright, and peaceful, remains a place that few should wish to inhabit. Filmed in stark black and white, with an intermittent narration from its young protagonist, Jonas (Brenton Thwaites), the picture shows a community entirely at peace, governed by a rationality that excludes any strong emotion — love, fear, hatred, anger, etc. — and has banished crime, falsehood, conflict of any kind, a place where an oppressive politeness stifles

differences or dissent. A sort of atheist’s paradise patrolled by watchful drones, it allows for no hint of anything supernatural or irrational beyond the reasoned, placid surface of an ordered life, obliterating by daily injections faith, emotions, even dreams. The governing ideal is homogeneity, which means that the citizens dress alike, think alike, and dwell in clusters of the same sterile, streamlined structures like some futuristic parody of our familiar lily-white suburbs … At a ceremony marking the transition of Jonas and his friends from school to their assigned jobs in life, the Chief Elder (Meryl Streep) singles out Jonas for the special post of Receiver of Memory. He undergoes instruction from the Giver of Memory (Jeff Bridges), who introduces him to the past through books, which don’t exist in the rest of his world, and through a telepathic process that enables Jonas to experience a human history nobody else knows; discovering the whole panoply of human emotions he never knew existed. He witnesses religious festivals all over the world, music and dancing, moments of love, and even horrifying scenes of death and destruction. Jonas’s black and white world takes on the colors of ordinary reality and inevitably he learns how to subvert the processes that have previously imprisoned him in the bland bliss of his former life. Learning the lessons of the Giver transforms Jonas in some predictable ways, turning him into a rebel and a traitor, driven to escape his ordered

world into a future he cannot fully imagine. His perilous journey away from his community across something called the Boundary of Memory seems silly and preposterous, somewhat blunting the point of the genuine dystopian satire that enlivens much of the film. Its predictable conclusion suggests sequels, presumably based on the rest of the series of young adult novels by Lois Lowry, whose book inspired “The Giver.” Perhaps in tune with the boring perfection of their environment, almost none of the cast rises beyond a sort of functional blandness themselves. Looking like a high-class witch in a long blond fright wig, Meryl Streep conveys at least a hint of ambiguity in her arguments for a rational universe where everybody must conform to maintain peace and security. Bearded, clothed in attire different from the relentless whiteness of everybody else’s costumes, Jeff Bridges on the other hand, provides a stark contrast to the oppressive sameness of the picture’s world. The picture demonstrates once again that the cinematic future allows only two possibilities, both of which owe a debt to Huxley and Orwell. One is the squalid, violent, dangerous world of “Soylent Green,” “The Terminator,” “The Road Warrior,” and their ilk; the other is the smooth, featureless, streamlined wonderland of “2001,” any of the “Star Trek” franchise, and even most of the later “Star Wars” movies. In one there is no peace or comfort, in the other no texture, no affect, no unorthodoxy, a dismal choice indeed.

French filmmaker Michel Gondry has built a reputation around his inventively handmade, DIY visual aesthetic. Gondry’s films burst with fanciful imagery, imperfectly crafted out of tinfoil and cardboard, and it’s tempting to dismiss his films as frivolous exercises in quirkiness. But that would be to ignore the real sense of sorrow lurking at the center of the director’s best films. His ramshackle style was used to great effect in “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” perfectly complementing Charlie Kaufman’s melancholy script. Based on the 1947 surrealist novel “Froth on the Daydream” by Boris Vian, “Mood Indigo” takes the melancholy tone of “Eternal Sunshine” several steps further in telling a tragic fable of doomed love. The film’s opening establishes the charmed life of its hero, an independently wealthy Parisian bachelor named Colin (Romain Duris). Colin spends his free time inventing useless contraptions

like his “pianocktail,” a piano which automatically mixes cocktails, choosing various ingredients based on the notes that are played. His apartment comes equipped with a doorbell that springs to life and scurries down the wall every time someone rings, and a tiny man dressed as a mouse on hand to assist Colin’s friend and personal chef, Nicolas, with the cooking. At the conclusion of each extravagant meal, Nicolas sweeps the leftovers, plates and all, into the garbage. These early moments create a manic energy as Gondry goes a bit overboard with the whimsy, but things slowly settle down as the story progresses. After learning that all of his friends are all in the midst of pursuing romantic relationships, Colin demands that he fall in love as well. Attending a friend’s birthday party — rather, a birthday party for a friend’s dog — Colin immediately meets Chloé (Audrey Tautou, “Amélie”). After a few awkward attempts at flirting, he asks her to dance, admitting that he’s a bit bumbling before she takes his hand and assures him that “we’ll bumble together.” What follows is a whirlwind courtship, beginning with a first date in which the pair ride a cloud car suspended from a crane that carries them through the skies of Paris, their legs hanging out the bottom as they dangle high above the city. It’s not long before Colin asks for Chloé’s hand in marriage. It’s around this point that Gondry reveals he’s got a little more on his mind than pure whimsy. While on their honeymoon, Chloé falls ill. It seems that a water lily has taken root in her right lung, and as it grows, she will only grow sicker. The water lily is a pretty clear metaphor for cancer, but by avoiding a straightforward depiction of the illness, Gondry can skip the specifics and focus on making his audience feel the raw emotions on display.

Colin dedicates his life to helping his wife get better, taking menial jobs and spending his time and all of his money on treatments, filling every square inch of her room with flowers when doctors tell him that that’s the best way to combat the invasive seedling that’s growing inside of her. Duris and Tautou, aside from making a particularly striking couple, play their roles with complete sincerity. Their performances ground the film — especially in the early going — keeping things from becoming too cloying. And when it comes to it, they prove more than capable of making us feel their pain. Contrary to what one might imagine, the fantastical elements don’t drain away from the picture as circumstances become dire. Instead, Gondry uses them to bring his characters internal emotions to life; the walls literally close in on Colin during a phone call informing him that his wife has relapsed; their home withers and decays around them as Chloé’s health deteriorates. Periodically the film cuts to a room of typists deciding the course of the story, tapping away on an endless stream of typewriters passing by on conveyor belts. In a darkly effective moment late in the film, Colin breaches the walls of the room, hoping to forcibly write a happy ending for himself. Who hasn’t at one point or another wished to rewrite the script our lives seem to follow? Even the film’s color palette turns darker as sadness seeps its way in, and eventually the color drains away completely, so the final portion of the film is seen entirely in black and white. All the artifice proves poetic, and somehow more hauntingly effective than straight reality at making us feel the emotional truth at the heart of its tragic tale.

And if it did start entering into fast-lane agreements, other broadband providers would probably follow suit. That very scenario played out after a recent spat between Netflix and Comcast. The whole thing had to do with how Comcast was routing Netflix’s data; the problem is technically different from the fast-lane issue, though it sounds similar. Netflix had repeatedly complained that the way Comcast routed its traffic affected streaming video performance in subscribers’ homes. Ultimately, Netflix agreed to pay Comcast, and the cable company agreed to fix the problem. The details of the deal weren’t made public, but Comcast issued a statement that characterizes the arrangement as a direct connection that’ll allow the streaming video provider’s traffic to grow. Netflix has since signed similar deals with AT&T, Verizon, and other providers. It’s a safe bet that each deal is costing Netflix, and presumably the costs will eventually get passed along to its subscribers. Internet fast lanes amount to doublecharging broadband subscribers, says Remy DeCausemaker, free and opensource software research coordinator at the Rochester Institute of Technology’s MAGIC Center. Broadband subscribers already pay for the data they use, and online services would likely pass along any added cost from a fast lane agreement, he says. And the concept – along with data caps – clashes with the widely held vision of the Internet as a level playing field for innovation and the exchange of ideas, he says. “Fundamentally, the idea that certain kinds of speech are more valuable than others is hard to deal with,” DeCausemaker says. “You never know what will inspire someone. You never know what will inspire the next invention.” The Comcast-Time Warner merger is not

a done deal, and it has equal chances of clearing and failing state and federal reviews. But New York regulators have already signaled the approach they may take. In a brief filed earlier this month, Public Service Commission staff recommended approving the deal, but with conditions. The staff says it sees “no net positive benefit as a result of the proposed merger absent specific additional commitments and conditions.”

The staff wants Comcast to implement stronger programs for providing broadband to low-income households. It also wants the company to preserve Time Warner’s existing $14.99 per month cable Internet package, which is available to all of the company’s subscribers. And it recommends that the commission impose a condition holding Comcast to customer service improvements. The company should work with the PSC to set targets for improving an independent customer service satisfaction score, the PSC staff says. And for any year the company misses those targets, it should pay $5 million into a state public benefit program, the staff says. Comcast execs have promised the commission that the company will invest in and expand networks within the state. But the PSC staff wants to see specifics on the planned investment. The staff also says Comcast should commit to $50 million in investments to extend service to areas without service, including rural communities and industrial parks. Comcast has already said that it’ll jettison approximately four million subscribers, though it hasn’t said from what market or markets. It’ll turn those subscribers over to Connecticut-based Charter Communications. Documents and statements on the deal make it clear that Comcast is taking the step to address antitrust concerns. But critics caution that once the company is allowed to merge, it’ll have little incentive to follow through on any conditions. “They will say whatever they need to say to get the regulatory approval, and then they have the market power to do whatever they please,” Lerner says.

The public’s interest in the proposed ComcastTime Warner Cable merger has centered on matters of competition, consumer costs, and customer service. But local cable access channels are caught up in the deal, too. Across the state, people involved with the stations are questioning the support that Comcast would have for the operations, says David Renner, coordinator for the Town of Penfield’s community and government access channels. “We just don’t know,” Renner says. “There’s a lot of speculation from what’s happened in the past.” The deal could present opportunities for the stations, Renner says. For example, Comcast upgraded some community access channels in New England states to highdefinition signals, he says. As long as the existing stations don’t lose funding through the merger, they’ll likely continue operating, he says. Federal laws require cable providers to make channels available for non-commercial use. It’s up to franchising authorities — in New York, those are local governments — to decide whether they want to use them. In New York, communities used to get a larger franchise fee from cable providers if they had a community access station, says John Schroth, station director for East Rochester Community Television. But state law changed a few years ago and that incentive was eliminated. Schroth says that he’s not too worried about the fate of East Rochester’s station since it has a dedicated core of volunteers and viewers. But Schroth and Renner say that anyone who values community access channels should submit comments to the Federal Communications Commission and the State Public Service Commission.

Rochester’s Culver-Merchants neighborhood is close to just about everything. Part of the town of Brighton until the early 1900s, this charming residential area originally featured picturesque farms, several local nurseries, and the Glen Haven Steam Railroad, which extended from E. Main Street to the west side of Irondequoit Bay, where a large hotel and popular amusement park were located for many years. Merchants Road dates from the late 1700s, when pioneer merchants transported their goods from the Irondequoit Creek Landing in Ellison Park to the Genesee River via this primitive roadway.

Today, Culver Road is the area’s Main Street which gets you to Wegmans, Tops Market, Savoia Pastry Shop, Donuts Delite, Johnny’s Irish Pub, and countless top quality diners and pizza shops. The many residential streets here provide one of Rochester’s most walkable neighborhoods, characterized by interesting architecture, tree-lined streets, and houses that have been well-cared for by long-time homeowners. The house at 465 Cedarwood Terrace is a distinctive example of this neighborhood’s charm and historic architecture. Built in the 1920s, this Colonial Revival residence features the excellent craftsmanship and wealth of architectural details that are a hallmark of this era. The extensive gumwood trim found throughout the house has never been painted. The wood casement sash in both the living and dining rooms are a charming departure from the typical doublehung windows of the early 20th century. The exterior of the house is in excellent repair and features wood shingles on the upper story

and new vinyl siding on the lower story. The house has been recently painted a handsome combination of white and blue, which highlights the spacious front porch with wood columns, trellis inserts, and porch swing. The front vestibule boasts original brownand-white tile floor, closet, and gumwood cove molding. Handsome wood-with-glass doors are located between each of the rooms on the first floor. The living room features a wood-burning fireplace with Craftsman style tile hearth. Varnished bookshelves flank the fireplace and Rochester-style oak floors are found throughout the house. The formal dining room includes a large picture window as well as a horizontal side window to accommodate a buffet. The original swinging door leads to the kitchen, which retains its 1920s breakfast nook. The second floor includes four bedrooms with original gumwood trim. The southwest bedroom has casement windows reminiscent of a sleeping porch. A linen cupboard with built-in drawers is in the main hall. The large attic is mostly unfinished and offers opportunities for an additional bedroom, office or study. A house with exceptional charm, 465 Cedarwood Terrace includes 1,593 square feet and is offered at $94,900. Call Jason Mancuso, WCI Properties, at (585) 208-1034 to arrange a showing. by Cynthia Howk Cynthia is the Architectural Research Coordinator at The Landmark Society.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD

Think Your Own Last Flight Was Unpleasant?

The May 28 US Airways flight from Los Angeles to Philadelphia had to be diverted to Kansas City after a passenger’s service dog did what dogs do, in the aisle, twice (an hour apart). One passenger used the terms “lingering smell,” “dry heaving” and “throwing up” in describing the situation. (2) On a recent (perhaps July) Delta flight from Beijing to Detroit, a Chinese couple apparently nonchalantly laid down paper on their toddler’s seat and encouraged him to address his bowels’ needs despite numerous pleas from nearby passengers to take him to the restroom. According to Chinese news reports, social media sites erupted in criticism of the family for its embarrassing behavior.

Democracy in Action

— Steve Grossman, Massachusetts’ state treasurer, who is running for governor, performed heroically at a candidate forum in March. The Boston Globe reported that Grossman “fervently answered questions on everything from transgender rights (to) sex education (and) issues facing (the) aging members of the (gay/transgender) community” while simultaneously passing a kidney stone (which most victims rate as “level 10” pain — the highest on the medical scale, described by some as comparable to childbirth). — Steve Wiles gathered only 28 percent of the vote in his North Carolina state senate race in May after revelations that he — lately an opponent of gay rights — was until

about four years ago a gay male who worked as the female impersonator “Mona Sinclair” at a gay nightclub in Winston-Salem. As recently as April, however (three weeks before a newspaper’s revelation), Wiles was categorically denying that he used to be Mona Sinclair. “That’s not me,” he said. “That’s him,” said a man who worked with him at the club. Said the club’s then-co-owner: “I have no ax to grind against him. I just think he’s a liar.” — The Alaskan government is scrambling to fulfill its obligation to welcome native communities’ votes on a state tax resolution in August. That means paying translators (at up to $50 a hour) to set out the measure for communities using the languages Yup’ik, Inupiak, Siberian Yupik, Koyukon Athabascan and Gwich’in Athabascan. (The tax measure must also be available on audio — for those communities that rely on the “oral tradition.”) For example, the yes-orno tax question in Yup’ik is “Una-qaa alerquun ciuniurumanrilli?”

Not My Fault

Tom Lakin is challenging State Farm in a St. Clair County, Illinois, courtroom, claiming that the sexual abuse he was convicted of was “unintentional” and that therefore his homeowners’ insurance ought to have covered any claims by the victim. (State Farm, and other insurers, generally pay out for “negligent” events.) He said he had no idea that serving minors alcohol and drugs and encouraging them to have sex with each other would lead to their later sexual exploitation by other adults.

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 30 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): A creative or physical outlet will be your ticket to romance. Choose to move forward with someone new rather than give an old flame another chance to disappoint you. Make your likes and dislikes perfectly clear so there is no mistaking what type of relationship you are looking for. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t give up on love because someone has broken your heart or let you down. Rethink your relationship strategy and the void you want a new love to fill in your life. Someone who can offer you greater stability, friendship and a solid commitment is closer than you realize.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your desire to have fun will be fulfilled if you participate in events that are challenging and adventurous. You’ll attract players who some of your friends won’t like, but if you are prepared to play the game of love, you will do just fine. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t make an impulsive decision when it comes to a random relationship. Rethink what it is you want, and take precautions against anyone trying to persuade you to do things you aren’t ready to do. Getting to know someone should take precedence over an intimate fling.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Love and romance should be at the top of your list. Your ability to adapt to whatever situation you encounter will make you an eligible candidate for numerous partners. The choice is yours, so don’t get hung up on a flaw someone has that is easy to fix. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Let your intelligence lead the way. If someone isn’t able to converse with you about the things you are interested in, he or she won’t likely hold your attention -- even if there is chemistry. Look for the right fit, not the person who happens to look the best. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The more involved you are in events,

activities or subjects that you feel strongly about, the easier it will be to find someone you can share your life with. The person who is willing to work by your side will be the one you can count on forever. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You will be mesmerized by someone who isn’t worth your time or effort. Step back and listen to what a good friend has to say about your choice of partner. Someone a little different offering a what-you-see-is-whatyou-get attitude mustn’t be overlooked. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Taking part in a seminar or conference that has to do

with legal, financial or health issues will lead to a well-informed lover who has a similar propensity as you do for travel, adventure and being the best you can be mentally, physically and emotionally. Enjoy the encounter. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t lose sight of playtime. You may want to fill your schedule with work-related events, but that shouldn’t stop you from engaging in conversations that allow you to mix business with pleasure. Someone who shares your work ethic will impress and please you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Romantic opportunity is

apparent; however, you are just as likely to have someone from your past waltz back into your life as meeting someone new. Opt for someone who can offer you a fresh start, and you will enjoy the rush of love that comes with first encounters. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll attract someone older or younger. Don’t rule out the possibility because of your age difference. You have plenty to learn and to teach from an experience you encounter with someone from a different generation. Enjoy the ride. You’ll be surprised to see where it takes you.

The company would also be in a better position to compete against its national peers, such as Dish, DirecTV, Verizon, and AT&T, Comcast says in factsheets on the merger. But what Comcast and Time Warner Cable like about the merger is also the reason critics and consumer advocates say that the deal shouldn’t happen. The new company would be too big, they say, and the public would pay the price: The new Comcast would have David Renner (right), coordinator for Penfield's community access channel, says too much negotiating power, the Comcast-Time Warner Cable merger could present opportunities for local would be difficult to regulate public access channels.

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.)

Swamp Sanctuary plans a hike

Medical marijuana is subject of panel talk

Atlas Eats is, as co-owner and manager Diane Brinkman puts it, a family affair.

One of the most popular items are the kimchee pancakes ($4.99), made with a whole wheat batter that stays light and fluffy. Inside the tender pancake is lightly crunchy kimchee, which balances acid with sweetness. The cake is topped with a poached egg, complete with a rich, liquid yolk, and a spicy sweet, dragon sauce the color of cinnamon candies. The best bites of pancake have soaked up the liquids of both. The hummus plate ($7.95) comes with slices of Robak’s bread and a seasonal accompaniment: one day, it was a brisklyflavored olive tapenade; on another, a scoop of a roasted-until-tender eggplant, marinated with vinegar. The hummus itself (listed on the menu as made with chi-chi beans, another name for chickpeas) was extraordinarily creamy and rich, lightly flavored with garlic and tahini. The menu becomes even more interesting with specials and spins on standard items, like the homemade cavatelli di giorno ($8.95). Cavatelli is like gnocchi but made with ricotta rather than potatoes. The version I tried was luscious, tossed with a summery pesto made with good olive oil and al dente hunks of summer squash. Other dishes to try include kimchee fried rice with tofu ($8.95); egg and bacon on a house-baked cheddar cheese biscuit ($4.99); and bread pudding, loaded with chocolate, summer berries, and butter. For breakfast and lunch, Atlas Eats will not take reservations for parties fewer than 5. For the Edible Atlas dinner series, reservations are required and the menu changes every two weeks. This weekend’s series highlights the Caribbean, with dishes from Jamaica, Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and Belize. If you can’t catch it, no worries; next weekend will usher in a different menu with a different global cuisine, and I have no doubt that the food will be just as delicious.

MONDAY, AUGUST 25 ABILENE BAR AND LOUNGE, 153 LIBERTY POLE WAY 8 P.M. | $10-$15 | ABILENEBARANDLOUGNE.COM; SELWYNBIRCHWOOD.COM [ BLUES ] Though he isn’t from Chicago, guitarist and vocalist Selwyn Birchwood is the embodiment of the city’s brand of blues. His intense lead guitar playing, with its dirty tone, and rough, gritty, perfect-for-blues voice, you’d think you were listening to a blues legend. Lyrically, the music will resonate with anyone who has had a bad day — “Lord I feel so fine baby, wash my worries in wine” — and the guitar should resonate with, well, just about anyone who appreciates good music. — BY TREVOR LEWIS
