Homegrown terrorists are a bigger threat

So President Trump is tightening vetting procedures for immigrants seeking to live in America, in particular certain Middle Eastern nations with Muslim majority populations, due to concerns on terrorism.

We all know there are bigger concerns with domestic terrorism participants such as Dylann Roof, who went on a killing rampage at a black church in South Carolina, and so many other mass-murder incidents over the years.

Will Trump be as zealous about the wannabe domestic terrorists in our midst? Let’s ask our Second Amendment people on that.

Family story imparts a warning

I am writing about the president’s ban on Muslims entering this country that was signed on Holocaust Remembrance Day. 2 CITY

My grandparents immigrated to this country in the 1940’s. My Christian grandfather and my Jewish grandmother escaped Nazi Germany and settled in Rochester.

My grandmother was admitted to Strong Memorial Hospital with an ulcer around 1942. They had very few relatives in this country and they were poor, so they fit the profile of people selected for a terrible act.

My grandmother was told that she was going to be upgraded to a special room for her treatment. My grandmother, unbeknownst to her, was injected with plutonium and studied to see the effects.

Of the seven people injected at Strong as part of the government’s Manhattan Project, my grandmother lived the longest. She was very sick and had six different kinds of cancer after the injection.

Her family physician knew of the injections and reported to the military on her health or lack of. He died knowing that she was injected and never told her or our family. My grandmother died never knowing what she had been subjected to.

Our family found out about this when Eileen Welsome FOIL-ed the records for her book, “The Plutonium Files: America’s Secret Medical Experiments in the Cold War.” She thought that animals had been injected at the hospital and found out people had been, too.

We also discovered that my grandmother’s grave at Mount Hope was exhumed so the government could continue to study the effects of plutonium on her bones.

I write this letter so we all know that we don’t want to go back to those times.

I write this letter in support of all refugees and immigrants (no immigrant is illegal).

I write this letter to say resist the fascist.

Astacio needs help

Rochester City Court Judge Leticia Astacio seems to be seen in the media as a normal human being who drinks alcohol and then defies the law. But she appears more like an individual whose problems have resulted in drug addiction — her drug of choice being alcohol.

The incidents following her DWI conviction could be seen as cries for help to get her a diagnosis and/or treatment.

She has made it clear that she cannot do her job, but the question “Why?” should be answered.

Parking on Park is a problem

I received a parking ticket because the appointment I had on Park Avenue ran over and I couldn’t move my car to the other side of the street. I explained this to the city, but still had to pay the $50 fine.

I started using a parking lot that the business I frequent on Park told me about. But I came out of my appointment and my car was gone. It was towed to Bay Street and it cost me $129.60 to get it back. Apparently there were some problems with bars in that area.

The Park Avenue Merchants Association should research this issue and see if some type of large public parking area could be created.

Parking has been a huge problem in this area for years.

I am a retired senior citizen on a fixed income and this was a severe financial hardship for me. There is no consideration of sliding fees depending on income.

I have never had a car towed before and objected very strongly to this fact and to the exorbitant fee, to no avail. I was told that if I didn’t like it, I could call someone to pick me up. I live 45 minutes away, so that was not an option. And I still had to recover my car.

I was 40 minutes late for an activity I planned that evening. And I could’ve been out even more money if I had

purchased expensive tickets for an event that night.

I hope that others who have had similar problems voice their concerns.

KATHY HOUSTON

Look within to explain Trump

I have been following the thread of letters regarding the ramifications of Donald Trump’s election.

It is important to recognize the comparisons between Hitler and Trump and to be concerned about the potential of “it could happen here.” But it is also important that we remember and recognize that neither Hitlerism nor Trumpism arose in vacuums, and that the rise of the Nazis in Germany was not merely a dictator-imposed decree.

Neither Hitler nor Trump was so charismatic as to persuade the populace of their countries to elect them democratically simply because they brought a message of change and national chauvinism.

Instead, they tapped into fascistic feelings already well-entrenched in the minds of citizens in their respective countries. This is the most troubling aspect of the current election and its aftermath.

When Trump supporters gather as gangs of motorcyclists to “protect” their president from protesters, how far are we from brown-shirted storm troopers in Nazi Germany?

I am also disturbed to know more than a few highly educated professionals who voted for and supported Trump, thinking themselves safe and only likely to benefit from his bellicose “America First” rhetoric that seems a thinly veiled disguise for being able to define a “real” America that allows exclusion of whole groups based on gender, skin color, language, race, or religion (or lack of religion).

Exactly, I fear, what their Jewish counterparts in Germany thought in the 1930’s: “Hitler will make our country strong again, and I have nothing to fear because I am a well-respected store owner, businessman, banker, doctor, scientist.” Which all worked fine until the Nazis decided to scapegoat them and engineered the Holocaust.

(Or perhaps there wasn’t a Holocaust; maybe we should check for “alternative facts” from Steve Bannon or Kellyanne Conway?).

So my fear is not so much Trump and his immediate minions (who are bad enough), but the vein of hatred and intolerance he has tapped into that has become so widespread in the American populace.

It is no coincidence that the popularity of scripted “reality” shows, that are the equivalent of cage fighting in living rooms, board rooms, mansions, and farms has resulted in the election of a president who hails from that same background and who champions the rawest feelings in the citizens to whom he panders.

Would anyone disagree with the following observation: “It would never come into their heads (the broad masses of a nation) to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think there may be some other explanation.”

Doesn’t the appeal to “alternative facts” and the constant lambasting of the independent media by team Trump sound precisely like the impudence referred to in the quotation? The quotation, by the way, is from Mein Kampf.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

The risks we face in the next race for mayor There’s no rest for the weary.

Many of us haven’t gotten over the national election yet, and we’re about to enter another big campaign: a Democratic primary for Rochester mayor. While Lovely Warren hasn’t announced that she’ll run for a second term, it’s almost certain that she will. And she’ll face at least two opponents: County Legislator Jim Sheppard – a former Rochester police chief – and former television reporter and anchor Rachel Barnhart.

Primaries can be healthy, for political parties and for the public. But I’m very, very worried about this one. On a smaller scale, it could become as emotional and as divisive as what we’ve just lived through.

And as racially tinged.

Democratic Party squabbles are nothing new. They seem to be part of the basic character of the party. But with the Trump administration preparing to undercut support for the most vulnerable Americans – many of whom live in urban communities like Rochester – and with Republicans apparently willing to support him, a strong Democratic Party is essential at every level: federal, state, and local.

Democrats will have to try to protect the rights and services we have and find ways to replace what Republican-led governments remove. They’ll have to find a way to engage the broader public in that fight.

That will take leadership, and it will take strength and unity. The last thing this community needs right now is major division among Rochester Democrats. But the division is there. Worse still: it’s predominantly along racial lines.

The racial division may not be apparent to the average Democratic voter, but it’s there. It goes back many years. And it was intensified and brought to a head four years ago, in the Democratic primary that led to Warren’s election as mayor.

In that primary Warren, who is black,

challenged the incumbent mayor, Tom Richards, who is white. Warren was backed by her mentor, State Assemblymember David Gantt, and many other local black Democrats. Richards’ supporters included southeast and northwest Democratic leaders, most of them white.

When Warren won, some of her opponents launched an ill-advised independent bid for Richards in the general election. I say “ill-advised” despite having applauded that campaign editorially and having endorsed Richards in that election. In retrospect, I believe that was a mistake, for me, and for the dissident Democrats.

The last thing this community needs right now is major division among Rochester Democrats. But the division is there.”

That campaign did great damage to the local Democratic Party, which was already weak, was having trouble raising money, and seemed helpless in the face of a powerful Monroe County Republican organization. Worse, it added to the racial divide in this community.

It was a slap in the face of the black Rochesterians who had voted for Warren. It clearly offended black Democratic leaders, activists, and other Warren supporters, and it heightened the serious mistrust between black and white factions of the party.

Now we have the makings of another Democratic primary. And while both Sheppard and Warren are black, many of Sheppard’s backers are the same white Democrats who backed Richards four years ago.

The racial division hasn’t been intentional.

The people supporting Sheppard aren’t doing it out of racist animosity. I know some of them, several of them extremely well. Some have fought hard for racial justice for decades and continue to do so.

And there’s absolutely no reason to think that Rachel Barnhart, who is white, is challenging Warren and Sheppard because of their race. (Barnhart’s supporters include Scott Gaddy, an African American who was once a key Warren supporter.)

All three candidates will likely focus on issues in the coming campaign. But it’s a good bet that lying beneath the surface will be the issue of race, no matter how the candidates conduct themselves. continues on page 8 rochestercitynewspaper.com

The church takes up just about the entire corner lot, with little space left over. It’s surrounded by housing.

Like many urban churches in recent years, Calvary St. Andrews has experienced a significant drop in participation. It has approximately 50 members, and about 25 regularly come to Sunday service.

“We’re looking at all options,” says John Wilkinson, moderator of the Administrative Commission for Calvary St. Andrews. “We don’t want to prop it up just to prop it up. We need to have a vision and mission in order to move ahead.”

The commission will make a recommendation on the church’s future in the coming months to the Presbytery of Genesee Valley. The Presbytery owns the historic church and has the final say on its future.

Barnhart may see an opening, given the obvious acrimony between James Sheppard and current mayor Lovely Warren. She may be able to position herself above the fray, as the candidate who is truly focused on the issues.

POLITICS | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

Barnhart’s in; waiting for Warren If elected mayor of the City of Rochester, Rachel Barnhart says that she will cut property taxes by 50 percent, provide childcare funding for an additional 1,000 families, and make fiber Internet free for every home.

Barnhart, a former reporter and anchor for WROC-TV8, announced her candidacy on Monday. She’ll square off in a Democratic primary against James Sheppard, Rochester’s former police chief, and presumably, current mayor Lovely Warren. (Warren hasn’t officially entered the race yet.)

Barnhart said she’d pay for these new efforts through careful long-term planning. She mentioned the possibility of consolidating the city and county’s water systems as a way to gain revenue. She’d also lobby hard for more state aid and look for budget efficiencies, she said.

Also, the promised tax cut would lure people and business to the city, and their investment would help offset the revenue loss, she said.

But almost every politician mentions “budget efficiencies”; it’s vague and more of a hope than a plan. And many local lawmakers have tried to get more money from the state — but state officials haven’t been moved by their pleas. It’s hard to see why it would be different for Barnhart.

Barnhart’s candidacy is sure to be a mystery to some people. She has no political experience save an unsuccessful run for State Assembly against Democratic incumbent Harry Bronson last fall.

(In fairness, though, Sheppard has been in the County Legislature for only a little over a year. He does have administrative experience, though.)

Joe Rittler, a spokesperson for Barnhart’s campaign, said in a statement that Barnhart can win, despite the “politically motivated naysayers.”

“There are many undecided voters who are not happy with the status quo, and we have a campaign plan that will carry us to victory,” Rittler said.

People are sure to ask, too, why Barnhart didn’t get her feet wet first by running for one of the five at-large seats up for election on City Council this year. Barnhart’s high profile would have been a significant advantage.

But Rittler said that Barnhart has studied city government extensively and that has given her the knowledge, skills, leadership ability, vision, and experience to be mayor.

“For the past 18 years, she’s read every city and school budget, every piece of Council legislation, every major contract bid, and every environmental impact statement on

big projects,” he said. “She’s delved into the finances of the fast ferry, Renaissance Square, Midtown Plaza, and the Inner Loop.”

Barnhart may see an opening, too, given the obvious acrimony between Sheppard and Warren. Sheppard retired as police chief shortly after Warren took office in 2013, amid buzz that she was going to replace him. The two have clashed politically since.

Barnhart may see a path to the mayor’s office by putting herself above the fray: presenting herself as the candidate who is truly focused on the issues.

Towns may end energy incentive Some Monroe County towns might opt out of a state incentive for solar, wind, and farm waste-toenergy projects.

A section of state law currently shields property owners from local property tax increases when they install wind, solar, and farm-waste energy systems; the systems can add to a property’s assessed value.

The law has been on the books since 1977 and applies automatically unless a local government opts out, which is what some Monroe County towns are considering, including Sweden, Hamlin, and Perinton.

Perinton officials are concerned that a larger energy project could place demands on town services without contributing tax revenue, Supervisor Michael Barker says.

The town has no proposals currently, but “we have our share of farmland” and aging farmers who may see energy projects as an income source, he says.

But the towns can’t eliminate the exemption just for larger wind, solar, or farm-waste energy projects, says a state fact sheet. Homeowners who install small systems would also be ineligible.

Sweden held a hearing on its proposal Tuesday night, while Hamlin has one scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on February 13 at its Town Hall, 1658 Lake Road. Perinton’s is at 7:30 p.m. on February 22 at its Town Hall, 1350 Turk Hill Road.

RELIGION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

The stained-glass ceiling Not everyone can talk about God and get others to listen. But there’s something about the Rev. Myra Brown’s voice that perfectly suits her line of work; her calm and reassurance connects.

Brown, 51, is a fixture in the Rochesterarea spiritual scene, spanning everything from being a young altar worker at black Catholic revivals to an anti-racism community activist and deacon at Spiritus Christi.

And recently, Brown was ordained at Spiritus Christi: becoming the third AfricanAmerican woman in the US to become a Catholic priest.

Spiritus Christi is as an independent Catholic church, which means that Brown’s ordination is not recognized by the Vatican.

But that has only energized her to further advocate for the women priest movement, which despite some harsh reprisals from Rome — even Pope Francis firmly rejects the idea — is gaining momentum.

In recent interviews, Brown shared her views about the Catholic Church and inclusivity, women in the priesthood, abortion and the pro-choice movement, and her decision to become a priest.

The following is an edited version of those conversations.

CITY: What made you decide to become a Catholic priest, knowing that the idea offends many Catholics?

Brown: I was praying and asking God, “What do you mean you’ve called me to preach and teach your word in the Catholic system?” I’m thinking, I’m black and I’m a woman, I’m in the Catholic Church and they don’t do that.

Your question assumes that I chose where I am. I didn’t; God chose me. My calling came to get me and it took me to the Catholic Church. I went to where I was led.

Ultimately, the question is who is in charge of ordination? Who’s in charge of our lives?

Are we in charge or is God in charge? If God is in charge, then we have to let God lead us.

If God decides “I want to ordain 10 women this year to the Catholic Church,” are we going to refuse God and say, “No, God, because our tradition won’t let us do that”?

What do you say to those Catholics who say that there is no precedent for women in the priesthood?

There actually is a precedent. The Vatican knows the history of women priests in the early centuries. There’s also evidence in Scripture of women who were part of the apostolic ministry.

The Bible talks about the letters of Timothy and Paul, about the house churches, and the women who were leading those house churches.

Jesus led house churches. If you read the Scriptures, Jesus is preaching when he’s 6 CITY

brought a paralyzed man; it’s a house church that they’re in. They lower the man through the roof and Jesus heals him.

This notion that there were never women priests, it’s a failed notion. Interpretation matters. It matters who gets to tell the story.

Men in the Catholic Church, particularly in Rome, don’t want to talk about the reality that these are male-centered views that are designed to protect their interests.

The whole Jesus movement starts with the angel going to Mary, a woman.

Sometimes we develop traditions that don’t have anything to do with the life and teachings of Jesus; they have to do with cultural tradition.

When the men from past centuries began to be part of the apostolic ministry and they decided that instead of it just being about service and that it was about an office, prestige, status, and power — you see women over the centuries get squeezed out.

Then you get a new narrative that is written as if they were never supposed to be part of it at all.

Even though Pope Francis has softened some of the church’s teachings concerning the LGBTQ community, he still firmly opposes marriage equality. Does the Vatican not see that even as Catholic churches, schools, and hospitals close, that the lack of inclusivity is an issue?

I think change will come. I run into more and more people who tell me they were Catholics at one time, but they aren’t any longer. And what they all seem to have in common is some experience of exclusion, oppression, or they feel that they were taken for granted.

I recently met a couple that said they were having their child baptized and they wanted the parish priest to do it. He decided to defer it to a deacon, a person they had never met. They objected and pushed it. He did decide to do it, but he performed it with such anger. That was the last time they went back to that church.

that, I don’t know that we’re really pro-life.

We need to make sure that when children come, they have good child care, education, nutritious food, and health care. We can’t accept poverty because poverty is not pro-life.

We can’t just stop at an issue like abortion.

Life doesn’t only begin and end with abortion.

We have to bring war and militarization into that discussion.

If we’re going to really talk about prolife, we have to take everything that has the potential to threaten life and to snuff out life and re-evaluate it. That would include much more than abortion.

What do you say to conservative Catholics who are opposed to abortion and vocally pro-life, but are silent when it comes to supporting common sense gun legislation?

How can you be pro-life and support repealing the Affordable Care Act? If you’re pro-life wouldn’t you also be pro Black Lives Matter?

Why are so many public and social institutions being challenged, whether it’s public education, law enforcement, the justice system, and even organized religion?

The conversation around pro-life and prochoice has been reduced to some kind of political agenda. I have often said to people that God is both pro-life and pro-choice, and so am I. If you’re pro-life, you have to be for life from the beginning of life to the end of life.

You have to be committed to making sure that if life happens, that we provide everything that life needs to thrive. If we’re not willing to do

Jesus was full of questions and I think we have to question, too. Jesus at 12 years old was debating sacred text. When he was lost for three days, they found him in the temple questioning the religious teachers of his day.

They were flabbergasted that this kid was challenging them.

I think if we keep questioning, we will end up with the institutions that we want.

Mayor continues from page 3

This will be a hard-fought primary election, as

the last one was. So far, Warren has some big advantages. She already has substantially more money for a campaign. And she has significant name recognition and visibility. While Sheppard served as Rochester’s police chief for three years, Warren has been in the public eye longer. She was elected to City Council in 2007 and was elected its president in 2010.

And as the incumbent mayor, she’ll continue to be able to get more frequent media coverage that Sheppard and Barnhart can.

Warren also has some impressive backers, if the names listed on the invitation to the February 25 Mayor’s Ball – an important fundraiser – is any indication.

Wegmans’ CEO Danny Wegman is honorary chair of the event.

State Assemblymember (and former Monroe Democratic chair) Joe Morelle; developers David Christa, Brett Costello, David Flaum, Ken Glazer, Nelson Leenhouts, Bob Morgan, and the Rainaldi family; Nazareth College President Daan Braveman; Rob and Richard Sands of Constellation Brands; Red Wings CEO Naomi Silver; Klein Steel CEO Joe Klein; ICS Telecom founder IC Shah; Complemar CEO Christine Whitman: all are lending their names (and presumably their fund-raising support and connections) to Lovely Warren’s re-election bid.

None of that guarantees Warren a win, of course. This will be a primary, not a general election. Only Democrats will be able to vote – and only a small percentage of people in all parties vote in their primaries, usually the most committed.

Massive, expensive advertising may not sway those voters. Television ads would be a waste. There’ll be lots of direct mail to the Prime Dems – the Democrats who usually turn out for those elections. But old-fashioned, door-to-door campaigning and phoning, by the candidates and their supporters, will be critically important.

Sheppard also has some important supporters, including numerous unions that are not Warren fans. Construction unions, for instance, are upset with her over her actions related to modernizing Rochester school buildings. And the police union has been upset over police district reorganization and staffing levels. While many union members may live outside the city and won’t be able to vote, they can give money, staff phone banks, attend rallies, and go door to door.

And Barnhart, who was on local television for 17 years and has had a popular online blog, has substantial name recognition. She may not be on TV now, but a lot of people remember her, or at least know her name.

This community has enormous challenges.

It’s good for the city, and good for voters, 8 CITY

FEBRUARY 8-14, 2017

to have elections that force candidates to talk about those challenges and outline how they hope to help overcome them. But right from the outset, this primary is intensifying the rift among local Democrats, possibly destroying what is left of their party.

And while I’m sure none of the three candidates intend this, I don’t see how the campaign can fail to widen the city’s racial division.

I don’t have a favorite in this campaign.

I won’t have a favorite until the editorial staff here has interviewed all of the candidates and observed their campaigns.

If Sheppard and Barnhart are able to document clear shortcomings of Warren and her administration, fine. If they’re able to show how they’ll do better, fine. If they can show how they can heal the racial division in the party and in the community, fine. But I’m worried.

This is a time when the Democratic Party and progressive third parties need to be building strength, to protect government funding and services that Americans need, protect human rights, protect the environment, and help build a safer, healthier, more stable and peaceful world. The opportunity is there, as the enthusiasm of protesters around the country is showing.

This is also a time when the Democratic Party and progressive third parties need to be building for the future, maintaining and strengthening the interest and commitment of young adults and other new or disillusioned voters.

That work has to start locally. Being united for national elections – as many local Democrats were in the presidential campaign – is important. But we have huge problems at home, and solving them will require unity and strength in local and state parties. Progressives need to increase their representation in Albany, where government action can provide protections that the Trump Administration and the Republican Congress have promised to weaken at the federal level.

Locally, Democrats and other progressives can press county government to help strengthen the city and better fund services for the county’s poor. And they can work to elect county officials who will form a creative, dynamic, progressive county government.

There is enough talent, energy, and devotion to the community in all factions of the local Democratic Party that if they were united, they could accomplish great things.

Instead, Monroe County Democrats are getting ready to tear their party further apart.

And if they’re not extremely careful, they’ll heighten racial tension and animosity in the community.

I hope everybody involved knows what they’re doing, the risks they’re taking, and the damage they could inflict on the community.

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.

McMickle to discuss racism and religion

Downtown United Presbyterian Church will present “The Church: Where We Have Been and Where Love Can Take Us,” a talk by the Rev. Marvin McMickle, president of Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School, at 9:50 a.m. on Sunday, February 12. McMickle, as

part of the Sunday Forum series of talks, will explore the church’s complicity in racism. The event will be held at the church, 121 North Fitzhugh Street.

Homeboy’s founder coming to Naz Nazareth College will present two lectures by Father Gregory Boyle, Jesuit priest, author, and the founder and director of Homeboy Industries. Boyle served as pastor of the Dolores Mission Church in the mid-1980s, located in one of the poorest and most gang-active neigh-

borhoods in Los Angeles at the time. His gang intervention model, which eventually led to the formation of Homeboy Industries, trains and employs gang members and helps them rebuild sustainable lives. The approach has been studied and replicated in cities around the world. Boyle’s first lecture will be on Thursday, March 2, at 7 p.m. in the Nazareth Arts Center. The second lecture will be held on Friday, March 3, at 1:30 p.m. in the Golisano Academic Center. Both are free and open to the public.

Openings

When Massimo Albano and his partners, Fausto Albano and Stephen Dimassimo, were looking for a location for the casual counterpart to their successful East Rochester Italian eatery, Lemoncello, they didn’t have to look farther than across the street. After renovating the space to create more of a gastropub atmosphere, while using similar textures to their flagship restaurant, they opened Sambuca Bar and Grill (146 West Commercial Street) last December.

The new restaurant is a split off for their pizza business and allows them to serve lunch, which they couldn’t do at Lemoncello. “People were scared of the linen table cloths at Lemoncello,” Massimo says, “even though we are a casual restaurant. Some people just want pizza and a burger.” Pizza Chef Luca Isopi is from Abruzzo, Italy, and is creating Neapolitanstyle pizza out of the restaurant’s stone oven. The Lemoncello pizza ($16) is topped with white garlic parmesan sauce, sliced tomatoes, shredded mozzarella, prosciutto, and arugula, and drizzled with truffle oil.

“We really wanted to make the two restaurants different, to create a whole different vibe for each of them,” Massimo says. Menu items like the veggie burger ($11), an 8-ounce portabella mushroom, served with American cheese, tomatoes, and onions, and the meatloaf ($12), served with smashed potatoes and an onion and mushroom gravy, deviate from the traditional Italian menu of Lemoncello.

The bar has 12 rotating taps, featuring many local breweries, and its spirit options include local distillers as well. Mondays are “bring your own bottle of wine,” and happy hour is every day from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Sidewalk seating will be available when the weather gets warmer.

[ DINING FEATURE ] BY CHASE FERREN

Rochester's unique cluster of third wave coffee shops has grown into an intertwined family tree Chrome espresso makers hiss inside Joe Bean while timers beep to signal the completion of a single-cup pour-over coffee. Brewed using a Hario dripper, the coffee sits in a glass pot, waiting to be poured in small portions into a sake-sized cup. Other baristas tip espresso-filled mugs to adorn the drink with steamed milk designs while they catch up with regular customers and learn the names of new ones. All the while, customers sitting on stools along the front wall of windows have quiet conversations, read novels, write in notebooks and on laptops, or watch the sidewalk for a familiar face.

Beginning around 2010, starting with Joe Bean, a new group of coffee shops started sprouting up in Rochester with a shared mission: coffee should be

high-quality, simple, and sociable. That group has since grown into a somewhat intertwined tree of baristas and shop owners, with each branch offering its own iteration of third wave coffee culture.

Of course, coffee has long been a part of Rochester social life. Before the intricate network of third wave shops grew, Rochester’s coffee scene — outside of the Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts to-go crowd — was ruled by popular second wave coffee houses like Java’s Café, SPoT Coffee, and Boulder Coffee Co. Second wave coffee culture made espresso approachable, and it brought customers into the know about sourcing and roasting, which plays a large role in the current wave of shops.

Third wave coffee, which started to pick up in the mid-2000’s, has moved toward a focus on just letting the coffee speak for itself. It took out the caramel shots and vanilla syrups, and instead found that coffee beans themselves can offer diverse flavors. With attention paid to the entire process — from growing and sourcing to

roasting — brewing a cup of coffee became an art and a science. At second wave shops, coffee is something to talk over; with third wave, coffee is something to obsess about.

Over the last seven years, since Joe Bean carved out a Rochester niche, five other third wave coffee shops and pop-ups have emerged, and the network continues to grow. What began as one shop has evolved into a family of shop owners and baristas.

And like any family, friendly competition and mutual admiration has created a unique dynamic in this city.

Rory Van Grol, co-owner of Ugly Duck Coffee, says that while the third wave shops are part of the same movement, they all have distinct personalities. “Everyone connects to a different experience,” he says. “That’s the value: you can go to each different shop and get something different.”

Joe Bean Co-owner Kathy Turiano, who has worked with so many shop owners and baristas — like Sapphire Courchaine, a self-proclaimed “rogue barista” who was once with Joe Bean and is now the director

of coffee at Glen Edith, a barista at Makers Gallery and Studio, and will be roasting with Fifth Frame — that she’s nearly lost count, says these differing personalities are essential to growing the third wave community and movement.

Competition in a serious sense was never a concern for Turiano when baristas branched off. “It’s hard to separate because you feel like family,” she says, “but what we’ve come to realize is that the family can extend and move beyond a physical spot, and that it has to. I think in that way, you begin to impact not just a neighborhood, but you begin to impact a city.”

FUEGO COFFEE ROASTERS With a Nate Hodge painting on one wall — which was originally created at Makers Gallery and Studio — and a menu featuring the motto “Come for coffee, stay for community” hanging on another, Fuego Coffee Roasters is a community-focused third wave shop. Fuego co-owners Tony Colón (pictured) and Renée, his wife, worked at Java’s Café together, and after six years, they decided to try their own take on roasting. The two opened their shop in 2013, and last summer moved from its original Liberty Pole Way location to 45 Euclid.

While Fuego is technically a third wave shop, Tony Colón says he doesn’t necessarily want to be siloed as simply “third wave.”

“We try to break the thought of third wave,” he says. Instead of spending most of his focus on the coffee, Colón says the shop’s attention is more directed at service. “We want the coffee to speak for itself.”

That focus translates to, among other things, Fuego’s menu. Colón encourages inclusivity when it comes to customers who may not be used to the idea of third wave. “We try to make things very approachable,” he says, pointing to drinks like the French Quarter, which is a cold brew processed with chicory, and shaken with milk and agave.

Colón tries to make Fuego part of the international community. Tony and Renée opened Fuego HueHue — a coffee shop in Huehuetenango, Guatemala, focused on social entrepreneurship. In partnership with Roberts Wesleyan College, the shop employs young Guatemalans who have recently come of age, and left a local orphanage. The revenue from HueHue is put directly back into the business to support the employees there.

Fuego is located at 45 Euclid Street, and is open every day, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. 270-9214; facebook.com/fuegocoffee.

JOE BEAN ROASTERS Joe Bean began in 2004 as a second wave Webster coffee shop before rebranding and replanting itself in 2010 as Rochester’s third wave pioneer on University Avenue. Run by co-owners Kathy Turiano, her son Ben Turiano, and Dina Jones (pictured), the shop’s coffee bar — intentionally placed in the center of the room to promote conversation with baristas — served as a third wave round table.

Kathy Turiano says the shop was squeezed out of its Webster location by large coffee corporations that Joe Bean couldn’t compete with. Instead of scrounging for marketing resources they didn’t have access to, Joe Bean turned toward a kind of coffee experience the corporations couldn’t offer.

“You just looked around our bar at the beginning, it was a lot of that real geeking out on coffee,” Turiano recalls, naming then-customer Tony Colón (now of Fuego) and then-employee Rory Van Grol (now of Ugly Duck) as some of the original coffee nerds.

She says Joe Bean’s coffee, which is sourced from particular farmers, organizations, and regions and is roasted in-house, is the core product. But community has always been at the forefront of the shop’s mission.

“We really began to push that idea that you sit; that coffee is a social beverage,” she says.

Joe Bean recently expanded its space to create even more room for this socializing, and has introduced an expanded locally-sourced menu to complement the shop’s hand-poured drinks.

Joe Bean is located at 1344 University Avenue, and is open Monday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Tuesday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 11:30 p.m.; and Sunday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. 319-5279; joebeanroasters.com.

GLEN EDITH COFFEE ROASTERS Community collaboration created Glen Edith Coffee Roasters. The shop — which opened in March 2014 on Somerton Street as Pour Coffee, and then spread to a second location on Elton Street in 2015 — started as a part of Smokestack Cowork, a collaborative space for creators to go work in a communal setting.

Smokestack closed in 2014.

John Ebel (pictured), Smokestack’s founder, and the owner of Glen Edith, says he was just looking for a way to serve quality coffee to the people who worked in that space near High Falls. And with Glen Edith, he’s still focused on collaborating and community building.

There’s a stigma that if you’re an outsider to third wave coffee, “you don’t really fit in and aren’t able to ask questions,” Ebel says, referring to customers who don’t necessarily like black coffee or pour-overs. “So we opened with a very approachable mission.”

Ebel says that approachability comes through in everything from the design of Glen Edith’s bar — which spotlights the brewing process like pour-over and pulling espresso shots — to the classes the shop offers to teach the public more about coffee.

“Everything is welcome,” Ebel says. “You’re welcome to put cream in your coffee.”

Glen Edith has two locations. Its 23 Somerton Street location is open Monday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Tuesday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.; and Sunday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. And its 44 Elton Street location is open every day, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. glenedithcoffee.com.

MAKERS GALLERY AND STUDIO Makers Gallery and Studio, according to coowner Zach Graham, is above all an art gallery.

The gallery and third wave café opened in May 2015 in the Neighborhood of the Arts.

“We want to do something that’s different,” Graham says. “There’s a lot of coffee shops that have art on the walls; we want to be an art gallery with a coffee shop.” The gallery features mostly local artists — like Cordell Cordaro, whose show “Quiet Nobility” is currently on display in the studio — and rotates shows every four or five weeks.

The space itself is made up of handcrafted work. True to the studio’s name, co-owner Alex Gruttadaro (pictured) says he built much of the gallery’s furniture, hand-poured the concrete countertops, and with the help of a friend, built the oak cabinets behind the coffee bar that often features Fuego coffee. Graham also serves his own Donut King of Rochester donuts.

Graham and Gruttadaro credit Fuego’s Tony Colón for their success. “Tony helped us all along the way opening up,” Gruttadaro says. Tony even found them the first piece of equipment they bought as a business: the espresso maker.

Makers Gallery and Studio is located at 34 Elton Street, and is open Friday and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. 5073569; makersgalleryandstudio.com.

MERAKI COFFEE CO.

UGLY DUCK COFFEE Ugly Duck began in June 2015 as a pop-up coffee bar before opening the doors last May to a permanent location in Rochester’s East End. The small building was once home to 1975 Gallery, and it’s still embellished with a mural on an outside wall that says “Til We Meet Again.”

Rory Van Grol (pictured), who owns the shop with his wife, Cris Puccia Van Grol, brought Joe Bean DNA to his shop in a hope to create a similar sense of community. Van Grol says community-focused customer service is his top priority, and he encourages Ugly Duck’s baristas to engage and connect with customers.

The coffee industry, he says, is founded on those relationships — including relationships with roasters and other shops. “That’s what community is,” he says.

“Without that, this is nothing.”

As a multi-roaster (a shop that uses coffee from several roasters), Ugly Duck features regional and national coffees, like frequenter Peaks Coffee Company from Cazenovia, New York, and Middle State Coffee from Denver, Colorado.

“If someone really loves a cup of coffee, that’s awesome,” Van Grol says. “But if people also love the fact that you can come in and feel comfortable, that’s even better.”

Ugly Duck Coffee is located at 89 Charlotte Street, and is open Tuesday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. uglyduckcoffee.com.

RORY VAN GROL WAS A BARISTA AT JOE BEAN.

Glen Edith’s Ryan Baker (pictured) launched his own coffee pop-up in June 2016 to follow his meraki — a Greek term that means to do something with soul, creativity, or passion, or to put something of yourself into your work. The pop-up has since poured espresso-based drinks for customers at weddings, football games, and local businesses like Jane Vintage.

Along with espresso, Meraki’s menu features a seasonal signature drink like, for these colder months, the Bundle Up: a layered shot of bourbon syrup, espresso, and eggnog.

Baker says he proudly — putting emphasis on the “proudly” — serves Parlor Coffee. Parlor is based in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and some of its bags feature the names of the coffee’s farmer: the Honduras roast is from farmer Olvin Moreno.

“This is what appeals to me about specialty coffee,” Baker says. “It’s not only good, but it’s ethical. And I think a generation is coming up where we’re not only wanting a crafty product, a cool product … We’re doing something that’s going beyond what you’re getting as an end result.”

Meraki is regularly open at Cheesy Eddie’s, 602 South Avenue, on Thursday and Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. merakicoffeeroc.com.

Third wave coffee is being pushed even further with Fifth Frame Brewing Co. Co-owner Wade Reed, who was previously with Joe Bean and currently works for Glen Edith, says Fifth Frame aims to make coffee the fifth element in beer (in addition to water, yeast, malt, and hops). Fifth Frame, Reed says, is set to open this year inside The Hive@155 project (at 155 St. Paul Street), and will serve coffee, beer … and coffee beer.

“Every beer that we brew also gets a coffee variant,” Reed says. For example, a customer can order a coffee, a cream ale, or a coffee cream ale.

Jonathan Mervine (pictured), a co-owner and head of Fifth Frame’s beer program, was an original co-founder of Roc Brewing Co., and co-owner Jarred Foster, who is the head of the food program, worked with Reed at Joe Bean and also works at Glen Edith.

In the past, Reed says, the three occasionally worked on seasonal coffee and beer collaborations. But now the three want to take “this idea that’s been sort of an afterthought,” Reed says, “and making it our first thought, our first concern, and our main project.”

Fifth Frame will be located at 155 St. Paul Street and is set to open in early 2017. Check fifthframe.co for developing details.

Rochester punks Rotten UK play a whole lot tighter than the genre requires on its new CD, “That Is Not Dead…” Not to worry, there’s plenty of minor-keyed slop and sleaze served up throughout with a snotty sneer. It’s got something from all of the food groups: metal, horror, punk, hardcore, thrash, etc, and it all comes off like a Dead Kennedys benediction tempered with Iron Maiden precision and a Lux Interior stiletto swagger.

Rotten UK absolutely rocks. Even with its in-your-face, doom-laden vocal tack as well as good-natured attacks on religion and other mainstream atrocities, Rotten UK is cryptic fun. Really, this is a fun record overall, full of primitive beats and slashing guitars, all beneath an apocalyptic vocal bark and wail. With the support of its new label, Hell’s Headbangers, the band is gearing up to head overseas, where this type of punk thrives. Save yourself some dough, though, and catch them here at home if you dare.

Former American Music Club frontman Mark Eitzel’s “Hey Mr. Ferryman” is more than simply an album. It’s a sweeping gesture: 11 sweeping gestures, at times both grandiose and simple. The record is mellow to be sure, but it doesn’t get mired down in melancholy. It’s lyrically sound and musically buoyant.

The dreamy soundscape that is “Hey Mr. Ferryman” is expertly burned to tape by Bernard Butler (ex-Suede) who also fleshed out Eitzel’s minimalism by playing electric guitar, bass, and keyboards in the studio. The mood on “Hey Mr. Ferryman” is innocent yet strong, sensitive without yielding, sensitive without being weepy. It lets fly with some of the most adroit handling of melody I’ve heard in a long while. This is harder to achieve than you think and Eitzel is a master. It sneaks up on the listener and stays with them long after it’s through. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Violinist Itzhak Perlman will perform with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra on September 12 to open the orchestra's 2017-18 season. PROVIDED PHOTO

RPO announces 2017-18 season [ PREVIEW ] BY DANIEL J. KUSHNER AND DAVID RAYMOND

EVENTS | FESTIVALS | RESTAURANTS | PREVIEWS & OUTTAKES 16 CITY FEBRUARY 8-14, 2017

The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra has announced its 2017-18 season, and its “bestof-both-worlds” approach has a lot to offer, including plenty of classic blockbusters and big names, from Perlman to Potter, and some pleasant surprises.

The season will start on September 12 with an appearance from Itzhak Perlman, a violinist who truly does deserve to be described as “world-renowned.” He’ll perform arrangements of music from John Williams’ film scores, including “Schindler’s List.”

Williams’ music returns November 3 and 4, when the RPO accompanies a showing of “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” conducted by Justin Freer, and again on January 12 and 13, with “E.T. The ExtraTerrestrial in Concert.”

The Philharmonics subscription series (the orchestra’s 95th) begins on September 21 with Ward Stare and pianist Inon Barnatan, the first artist-in-association with the New York Philharmonic. The RPO will perform Edvard Grieg’s Piano Concerto, along with music by two composers Stare interprets well: Richard Strauss (“Don Juan”) and Sergei

Prokofiev (highlights from his delightful ballet “Cinderella,” which you don’t hear every day).

Once again, Stare brings a well-balanced mix of canonic works and new additions to the symphonic repertoire. Though this season’s programming is more subtle, Stare is no less intent on introducing Rochester audiences to music they would not necessarily hear otherwise. Still the 2017-18 season has no shortage of major symphonies, including Beethoven’s Ninth, Brahms’s Second, Tchaikovsky’s Fifth, and Mahler’s Fourth.

There are guest performances from exciting young soloists, like pianists Barnatan, Olga Kern, and Joyce Yang, as well as 23-year-old cellist Andrei Ionita making his North American debut. And yet some of the most compelling concerts in the series involve new arrangements of classic compositions, infrequently performed 20th century masterpieces, and notable world premieres.

Here are a few of the “under-the-radar” highlights of the upcoming season: Olga Kern plays Beethoven’s “Emperor,” November 9 and 11: Is it possible that Beethoven isn’t performed enough in Rochester? Apparently, we’re not the only

ones who’ve thought about this. In the first of two November programs comprising a “Beethoven Mini-Fest,” Stare and the RPO welcome back pianist Olga Kern for the composer’s Piano Concerto No. 5, known as the “Emperor.” The orchestra will also perform a multi-composer version of Mussorgky’s signature opus “Pictures at an Exhibition.” The second Beethoven program (November 16 and 18) features the iconic Ninth Symphony, the “Choral,” with the indelible “Ode to Joy.” Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, February 8 and 10: Rochester City Ballet (led by Artistic Director David Palmer) will join the RPO for this celebration of Tchaikovsky’s beloved ballets “Swan Lake” and “Sleeping Beauty,” but it’s Stare’s fresh arrangements of these works that add to the intrigue. All that would be sufficient for one program, but the RPO music director has included yet another ballet, Bartók’s “The Miraculous Mandarin,” to the bill.

Bernstein Centennial Celebration, March 1 and 3: Quietly one of the season’s coolest concerts, the RPO plays Leonard Bernstein’s Symphony No. 2, “Age of Anxiety,” in honor of the 100th anniversary of the American composer-conductor’s birth. Stare’s love for indispensable American music gets a knowing nod here.

Pianist Misha Dichter is guest soloist.

Tchaikovsky’s Fifth and a world premiere, March 22 and 24: The Pyotr Ilyich party continues with his sweeping Fifth Symphony, exactly the kind of high energy, lyric work at which Stare and company excel. The juxtaposition of a new Oboe Concerto by composer Allen Shawn (coincidentally, the brother of actor and writer Wallace Shawn) — written with soloist and RPO Principal Erik Behr in mind — makes this concert all the more appealing.

Brahms’ Second and a world premiere, May 10 and 12: The music of American composer Jennifer Higdon returns to Kodak Hall in the form of the world premiere performance of her Harp Concerto, with the help of elite soloist Yolanda Kondonassis The program will also feature Brahms’ beguiling Second Symphony.

The 2017-18 Pops Series starts with Jeff Tyzik conducting a tribute to Ella Fitzgerald (another great American artist celebrating a centennial in 1918) on September 15 and 16. Other highlights include the traditional Gala Holiday Pops (December 21 and 23), and performances by the Mambo Kings (February 23 and 24) and PUSH Physical Theatre (April 13 and 14). The orchestra will also perform a tribute to the 50th anniversaries of The continues on page 17

Beatles’ “White Album” and “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” (June 1 and 2).

And don’t forget the RPO’s Sunday Matinees and OrKIDStra Series. This year’s lineup of soloists includes Concertmaster Juliana Athayde, Principal Horn W. Peter Kurau, world flutist Tereasa Payne, and violinist Yevgeny Kutik. Eastman School voice students will follow up last fall’s mini“Pirates of Penzance” with another Gilbert and Sullivan operetta. Not to mention the children’s favorites “Peter and the Wolf ” (with the Nazareth College Dance Ensemble) and “Beethoven Lives Upstairs.”

There are also four high-powered special

events, with priority for RPO subscribers: “rePlay: Symphony of Heroes,” with popular video game music and projections (October 26); the return of Broadway superstar Audra McDonald (January 25); “A Night of Symphonic Rock” (April 28), promising “a six-piece, all-star band”; and illusionist Michael Grandinetti, from the CW series “Masters of Illusion” (May 11).

Subscription packages will go on sale Wednesday, February 8, at 10 a.m. Single tickets will be available in July. Ticket information and the full RPO schedule can be found online at rpo.org or by calling 454-2100.

Anne Muntges’ ink drawing, “I Love Freedom,” is part of “Trying to Understand the World,” featuring work by Muntges and Sylvia Taylor at Main Street Arts. PHOTO PROVIDED

Where’s your head at?

“Trying to Understand the World”

THROUGH FEBRUARY 17 MAIN STREET ARTS, 20 WEST MAIN STREET, CLIFTON SPRINGS TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY, 11 A.M. TO 6 P.M.; FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, 11 A.M. TO 7 P.M. FREE | 315-462-0210; MAINSTREETARTSGALLERY.COM [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

The bulk of art history is a testament to what man makes of his experience in this strange mortal coil. But Main Street Art’s current exhibit, “Trying to Understand the World,” reveals two examples of the female gaze — one is a literal look at the sights of the city, and one is storytelling based in metaphor.

In her stark, highly detailed ink drawings, Brooklyn-based artist Anne Muntges recreates vignettes from her daily life in the city. She records specific street scenes and sights on subway cars, but also includes the thoughts of unknown others in the form of graffiti that seasons the surfaces.

20 CITY FEBRUARY 8-14, 2017

“Drawing is my connection to the world,” she says. “The series I am showing in this exhibition is an exploration of New York City, where I’ve drawn the marks that others have made.”

One drawing captures the backs of people descending into a subway entrance, with “TO THE MOON” hilariously scrawled on the ground, pointing into the abyss. Anyone who’s been to Brooklyn in the past few years is familiar with this particular artist, who responded with delight when I tagged him in the photo of Muntges’s drawing on Instagram.

Muntges’s process involves walking through her neighborhood for four or five hours twice weekly, documenting hand marks through signage, graffiti, or accident along the way. “I am working to find my place in a new home through drawing,” she says.

“Something about the city has forced me to adapt to looking beyond the space I occupy to start to find how I fit into a greater whole.”

With deft draftsmanship and careful consideration of the gritty textures of the city, Muntges’s drawings are straightforward representations of what she’s seen, but are peppered with plenty of cheek. In one work titled “Urinal Stance,” Muntges saw something familiar in the bracing posture

of the lower half of a man standing in a subway car, facing the doors impatiently.

A row of drawings includes written warnings: no sitting on this rather inviting stoop, don’t put sneakers in the laundromat’s dryers, and an angrily scrawled note on a destroyed machine after someone did try to dry rubber.

Other drawings record signs of the times: “We’re f***ed” scribbled on the side of a phone booth, “F*** the Government” written on brick, appropriately directly above a heap of garbage. The central pole in a subway car blocks some letters on of a poster on the opposite wall, giving the illusion that it says “Cortesy Cunts.”

Kudos to the curators for hanging this drawing right next to another that contains a posted sign, “Aint Wet.” You’ve gotta have fun in life.

By contrast, Ithaca-based printmaker Sylvia Taylor’s work is a dip into a slightly fantastical realm, in which various species interact in precarious ways and allude to a great impending heavy something.

“My relief prints are both playful and somber, with undercurrents of longing, vulnerability, and ambiguity,” Taylor writes in her provided statement. “The images have a narrative quality, and are typically inhabited by animal characters that serve as a metaphor for the pathos and irony of the human condition.”

Taylor’s print “Sheep Suit” shows an upright, human-shaped costume, ready for a human to don it and get fleeced, or a wolf to wear it and worry the flock.

Though the simple shapes of the curling wool, ears, and hoofs are simply executed, her point is underscored by the passive slouch of the shoulders.

In “Escape Velocity,” a peacock and a small mammal balance on a floating plank, apparently unconcerned with the sleuth of bears navigating dark waters below. The aptly-titled “Fugue” contains a similar split on the left, a sea of sheep’s faces speaks of loss of identity, while on the right is a single shape in the form of a wishbone or dowsing rod.

While the walls in both rooms of the space offer the opportunity to look closely at the work of each artist, the second room is capped with a flurry of imagery by Taylor. A web of linen flags feature small prints of recurring animals, symbols, patterns, and architecture, suspended on crisscrossing lines in the installation “The Time Between the Dog and the Wolf.” The work visually reads like a darker, more ominous version of Tibetan prayer flags, but perhaps telling the story of evolution in reverse.

FILM | THE BANFF MOUNTAIN FILM FESTIVAL RIT Outdoor Education will host the Rochester-area showings of The Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour on Friday, February 10, through Sunday, February 12, at the Ingle Auditorium in the RIT Student Alumni Union (113 Lomb Memorial Drive). Presenting selected short films from the 41st Banff Mountain Film Festival in Alberta, Canada, the program highlights beautifully photographed works by filmmakers from across the globe that center around all aspects of mountain culture — from expeditions in remote locations to documenting the most adrenaline-fueled extreme sports.

Each night’s show begins at 7 p.m., and tickets are on sale now at the RIT University Arena box office; $18 in advance, $20 at the door (discounts for students, alumni, and faculty).

A bundle package which includes all three screenings is available for $46. Order online at rittickets.com or by calling 4754121. More information on the film festival can be found at banffcentre.ca/banffmountainfestival. — BY ADAM LUBITOW

ART | “LIGHT SPILL” The Memorial Art Gallery is offering a unique perspective on the film viewing experience with two works from artists Sandra Gibson and Luis Recoder. In “Threadbare” and “Light Spill,” Gibson and Recoder deconstruct the basic elements of cinema (celluloid, projector, screen, and light) and ask viewers to consider the art of the moving image once it’s divorced from the purposes of storytelling entertainment.

The “Light Spill” installation is on display now through March 26 in the MAG’s Media Arts Watch Gallery, a space dedicated to works which explore the use of electronic technology in art.

It’s the second of four Media Arts exhibits planned throughout the course of the year. The exhibit is included with general gallery admission: $14; $10 for senior citizens; and $5 for college students with ID and children 6 to 18.

THEATER | “THE NORWEGIANS” It sounds like a long shot, but hiring Norwegian hit men to get rid of an ex-boyfriend might just result in new love. In C. Denby Swanson’s dark comedy, “The Norwegians,” two Southerners, Olive (Lynne Sanchez-Fries) and Betty (Gretchen Woodworth), find the perfect pair of Scandinavian gangsters, Gus (Tom Bigongiari) and Tor (James Heath), to kill Olive’s ex.

And of course that leaves room for Gus to make a move on Olive. But what happens when Betty hires Swiss hitmen to go after her ex-lover, Gus? Directed

by David C. Woodworth.

Rahman, the musical presents a fiery Indian romance told through elaborate backgrounds and an energetic cast of dancers.

Caring for a spouse who has dementia can be very stressful.

Researchers at the University of Rochester are exploring ways to help caregivers effectively manage stress and enhance health.

For this study, we are seeking individuals caring for a spouse with dementia to participate in a brief program designed to promote their own cognitive health.

Study procedures can be done at home or at the U of R (travel is not required).

You may be eligible if you are 60-80 years old and are the primary caregiver for your spouse (or significant other) who has dementia and lives with you.

tosses her a letter, and a written friendship blossoms. Reportedly inspired by a true story, Timo Von Gunten transforms the tale into a whimsical, “Amélie”-esque fable.

Animated Shorts An aging sheriff revisits the scene of a tragic accident in the mournful “Borrowed Time” (US, 7 minutes), as Pixar animators Andrew Coats and Lou Hamou-Lhadj examine the weight of guilt on a life.

In “Pearl” (US, 6 minutes) Patrick Osborne tells a sweet story about the relationship between a father and his daughter through music. The film is intended to be viewed with Google’s 360-degree virtual reality glasses, and seeing it without the benefit of that technology lessens much of the impact.

The short you’re most likely to have already seen, “Piper” (US, 6 minutes) screened before “Finding Dory” last summer. But it’s still totally adorable, as Alan Barillaro uses stunning photorealistic animation to tell the story of a young sandpiper struggling to overcome her fear of the ocean.

Adapted from a short story by Bulgarian writer Georgi Gospodinov, the melancholy “Blind Vaysha” (Canada, 8 minutes) tells the story of a girl born with a left eye that can see only the past, and a right eye which sees only the future. Director Theodore Ushev’s specialty is linocut block printing; here he reproduces the technique digitally, and the result is mesmerizing.

Director Robert Valley narrates “Pear Cider and Cigarettes” (Canada, 35 minutes), about the life of his alcoholic, self-destructive friend, Techno.

The film is a bit long, but the kinetic, graphic novel-like animation style is absolutely gorgeous.

Film Previews Full film reviews available at rochestercitynewspaper.com.

The animated shorts program is rounded out with three additional films, which were unfortunately not screened for review: “The Head Vanishes,” “Asteria,” and “Happy End.” Documentary Shorts Program A The heart-wrenching “Extremis” (US, 24 minutes) follows Dr. Jessica Nutik Zitter as she assists the families of her patients through the difficult endof-life decisions faced by their loved ones.

In the shocking “4.1 Miles” (US and Greece, 22 minutes) Daphne Matziaraki focuses on members of the Greece coast guard as they’re called out to rescue Afghan refugees attempting to make the treacherous journey across the Aegean Sea. “Joe’s Violin” (US, 24 minutes) is the moving story of 91-year-old Holocaust survivor Joe Feingold who donates his prized violin to a school instrument drive, where it reaches the hands of Brianna, a young schoolgirl in the Bronx. Kahane Cooperman attempts to cover all sides of the story, making the film a bit unfocused, but it’s undeniably affecting.

Documentary Shorts Program B The powerful “Watani: My Homeland” (UK, 39 minutes) follows a mother and her four children fleeing the Syrian civil war, hoping to make a new life in Germany after their father is captured by ISIS. “The White Helmets” (USA, 41 minutes) is an unforgettable look at the courageous members of the Syrian Civil Defense, a civilian task force who act as the first responders providing aid after every bombing or air strike.

Visit rochestercitynewspaper.com on Friday for additional film coverage, including reviews of the Oscarnominated doc, “I Am Not Your Negro,” and “Julieta,” the latest from Spanish director Pedro Almodovar.

Look no further than Luella

34 Luella St

When a house exudes warmth, it quickly becomes a home. Such is the case of 34 Luella St. in Rochester. The North Winton Village neighborhood is home to a wonderful cross-section of homeowners, ranging from first time buyers to families who’ve raised their families and opt not to leave the friendly surroundings. Lots of city neighborhood amenities are within walking distance on Winton Rd., including the Winton Branch Library and plenty of dining options and stores. Close to anything and easily accessible to everything, each street has its own personality and isn’t limited just to family living. This particular property is situated on a small, quiet street. It’s easy to see that surrounding homes take pride in their neighborhood.

Rich, mahogany colored quartersawn oak floors throughout the first floor welcome guests and set the tone upon entry through leaded glass doors. Recently refinished, the “tiger-oak” effect is reminiscent of Eastmanstyle flooring in the area. Gumwood trim with picture trim molding surround the bay window in the living room, which is balanced by a non-working, whitewashed fireplace across the room. Off the living room through leaded glass French doors is a sun room with fourover-four leaded glass windows. The seven windows in the room give more than ample light during the day. The Tiffany-styled light fixture illuminates after dusk. The sunroom

has a built-in daybed with ample concealed storage underneath, making the whole room a perfect, relaxing environment year round.

The full sized dining room has a pass through window to the kitchen, which resides in the center of the home. The kitchen itself is cozy yet spacious enough to allow even the most inventive chef to be creative. Off the kitchen looms the surprise of the house – a large family room addition with vaulted ceilings and skylights. Similar to the dining room, there is a pass through window from kitchen to family room to support family or party get-togethers. The family room has a full bath immediately off it, featuring floor to ceiling half inch cobalt blue tile. Off the family room are sliding glass doors leading to a large deck, landscaped for privacy.

The gumwood trim and natural wood floors flow to the upstairs, which features three average size bedrooms, a large central bathroom (with historic tile floor and subway tiled walls), and even a well-concealed laundry chute. Ceiling fans circulate air through all bedrooms.

34 Luella St. has 1,638 square feet and is listed at $129,900. Interested buyers may contact Nick Perlet at Nothnagle Realtors at 585-461-6367 to view this handsome Tudor Revival style home.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD

Work of a Researcher

“Field work is always challenging,” explained Courtney Marneweck of South Africa’s University of KwaZulu-Natal in a recent journal article, but studying the sociology of a white rhino’s dung meant developing a “pattern-recognition algorithm” to figure out “smell profiles” of 150 animals’ feces — after tracking them individually to observe them in the act. Wrote Marneweck, “I think my record for waiting for a rhino to poo was 7 1/2 hours.” Conclusion: Rhinos use feces to send distinct social signals on genetically compatible herds, mating access and predator dangers. (Or, in the Los Angeles Times “clickbait” version of the story, rhino dung “has a lot in common with a Facebook post.”)

The Way the World Works

“Retiring” the Herd: Settlement of a class-action lawsuit against a group of dairy co-ops was announced in January with milk producers agreeing to pay $52 million on charges they had conspired to fix the dairy supply for years to get top-dollar prices. Among the producers’ primary tactics, allegedly, was using what the industry calls “herd retirement,” which is “retirement” only in the sense that 500,000 healthy young cows were slaughtered — just to drive up prices by eliminating otherwise-available milk. The $52 million will be for consumers in 15 states and Washington, D.C. Wrist-Slapping: (1) Rutgers University Athletic Director Pat Hobbs, responding to the NCAA’s announcement of violations against the school’s sports programs (including failure to penalize 16 football players who tested positive for drugs), told the Asbury Park Press in January that he

would immediately dismiss from teams any player testing positive for hard drugs — upon the fourth violation (if for marijuana only, upon the fifth). (2) In January, the Russian parliament voted 380 to 3 to amend its assault law to allow a spouse one punishment-by-“ticketing” (i.e., not criminal) for domestic violence against his partner — provided the bodily harm was not “substantial” and that it happens no more than once a year.

Unclear on the Concept

The “Virtuous Pedophile”: Gary Gibson, 65, of Chiloquin, Oregon, admits he is sexually attracted to little girls but never acts on his urges, and therefore, demands that people get off his case.

He formed the Association for Sexual Abuse Prevention, campaigning, he says, to keep children safe from other pedophiles whose self-restraint may not match his. Gibson describes himself as a “normal, everyday person,” married to a British nurse (whom he met via a Christian singles organization), and has three children and 10 grandchildren — none so far molested (though in an interview, London’s The Sun allowed him to explain his side of various edgy events of his life, such as his having moved for a while to the South Pacific, where little girls sometimes played naked).

Wait, What?

Surgery on a 16-year-old Japanese girl, reported in January by New Scientist, revealed that her ovary contained a miniature skull and brain. Doctors say that finding rogue brain cells in ovaries is not that uncommon, but that an already-organized brain, capable of transmitting electric impulses, is almost unheard-of.

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 30 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take a step forward and share your feelings. Bringing greater stability to your life by suggesting a closer relationship with someone you think is special will change your life. A romantic offer will help to put an end to any doubt or uncertainty that prevails.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ll meet someone special in the most unusual place.

Travel, educational pursuits or offering to help others will all lead to an encounter that will change your life, but first take the time to find out personal information that may have to be dealt with.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Secrets will be a problem when it comes to love. If you cannot share your true feelings, you are probably with the wrong person.

Open up emotionally and mentally to find out if you have a good connection before you decide to experiment with the physical aspect of your relationship.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Look for the good in everyone.

Search out people who have something unique to offer. Don’t give in to someone just looking to have a good time. There is more to life and relationships than excessive behavior. Question what you want out of life and love before saying yes.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Make plans to do something different, and you will meet someone new. Let your free-spirited, spur-of-the-moment personality take you to places you’ve never been before. The adventure and excitement you drum up will attract someone as outgoing and regal as you. Enjoy the moment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Participate in life, share your feelings and be creative in the way you show how much you care. Romance is the perfect expression of what you have to offer and how you want to move forward with someone who has carved a special place in your heart.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Love is all around you, so step up your game and play. Your charm will capture someone who is just as witty, conscientious and appealing as you. Don’t sit at home when you should be getting involved in projects, events and activities that will lead to interesting encounters.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ll meet someone who will motivate and inspire you if you take part in creative events, musical tributes or socializing with people who enjoy expanding their mind. Take part in discussions, salons or conferences geared toward enlightenment and self-improvement, and love and romance will come your way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Make decisions quickly so you don’t miss out on something that can change your life forever. Meeting someone in the most unlikely place or who comes from a totally different background than you will be overwhelming and lead to the ride of a lifetime.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Be careful who you trust and what you sign up for. Problems with jealousy and possessiveness will take over if you set your sights on the wrong partner. Consider what you have in common and what the chance of a long-term relationship is before you give your heart away.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll be hard to resist due to your engaging personality.

Your passionate approach to life and living the dream will make any candidate for love want to stand by your side. Choose the person who challenges you and matches you every step of the way.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t let confusion turn into a costly mistake. Someone will want to share feelings, ideas and beliefs with you. Don’t misinterpret what’s being offered, or you may miss out on the chance to be with someone who will support and encourage you to grow mentally and emotionally.
