St. Louis University published a study looking at the relationship between federal contracts and campaign contributions between 1979 and 2006. It was found that companies contributing more money to federal candidates subsequently received more contracts, more than merely suggestive of quid pro quo. In September 2015, professors from Princeton and Northwestern published a study that analyzed 1,778 national policy issues, looking at three distinct groups: the very wealthy, corporate interest groups, and ordinary citizens. They measured the correlation between a group’s support for an issue and the probability that the issue would be enacted into law. What they found is disturbing: “Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on US government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence.” Also in 2015, professors from Stanford published a study providing “evidence that corporations and business PACs use donations to acquire immediate access and favor.” What we now know from rigorous study is that money is power in DC and our statehouses. Influence is wielded by those with big money while ordinary citizens, both registered Republicans and registered Democrats, are left essentially without representation. This reality describes oligarchy, not representative democracy.
Do defenders of unlimited spending on elections sincerely believe that the authors of our Constitution intended that political influence be allocated in direct proportion to wealth?

Open space best for Parcel 5
City officials have chosen the developers for a key part of the Midtown Plaza site: Parcel 5, across Main Street from the Sibley Building. The Warren administration’s choice: a performing arts theater topped by an apartment tower. But City Council will have to approve Warren’s choice, so the conversation here continues. On a reader’s criticism of the Visionary Square proposal for Parcel 5: To have vision, one needs
to reach for things that have not been done in our city and recognize that innovative cities are reanimating their downtowns through projects just like Rochester Visionary Square. In the City of Rochester, we do not have any public realms that are designed for the 21st century. There is also the incorrect perception that downtown has a surplus of green space, when in fact the center city suffers from a lack of it. The National Parks and Recreation Association recommends 8 acres of parkland for every 1,000 people. The Center City Planning Area provides 2.5 acres per 1,000 people – a paltry 29 percent of what is recommended. I’ve continued to hear how Martin Luther King Park could be an alternative. It is a failure of a design for public space and ignores key recommendations that the Street Life Project and Project for Public Spaces has identified, like clear sight lines and park development at surface level to overcome perceptions and issues of crime and safety. Finally, we are ignoring perhaps the biggest elephant in the room: We have an equity issue downtown. The median household income in Center City is $20,712, with nearly 40.7 percent of people falling below the federal poverty level. We need a space that will give people a reason to stay
downtown. Parcel 5 with no amenities has already proved to be an iconic and central place for people to gather. Creating a space that is free and offers both passive and active programming is key for the future of Rochester. Creating a place that boasts street-level activity will build pride and social cohesion and give businesses the confidence they need to move downtown. For information on our proposal visit thisisnotapark.com BENJAMIN WOELK
Woelk is co-director of Rochester Visionary Square. On a CITY article assessing proposals for Parcel 5, including Visionary Square: “... the proposal would
leave a prime development site stay mostly vacant.” Yes! That’s exactly the point! I’m not sure CITY understands that the goal is to create, in downtown Rochester, a place where people want to be, not endlessly monetizing every square inch of the center city. Doing so creates a harsh, overbuilt environment that people can’t wait to leave at 5 p.m. For half a century, Rochester has created a downtown as gritty as Manhattan yet lacking the wonderful public spaces found in that city. We keep building concrete silos that announce: “Isn’t this a powerful thing we’ve created? Enjoy the view, but you’re not welcome here!” Our center city is in need of places for people, not just cars and corporations. That’s what makes a city come alive. Our downtown has been dead for too long. It’s time to breathe some life into it. The Visionary Square proposal will do exactly that. GARY BOGUE

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
We’re not making a dent in our high poverty rate Every year about this time, ACT Rochester releases what it calls a Community Report Card: a look at the overall health of the nine-county Greater Rochester region. Using data compiled by the Center for Governmental Research, ACT looks at everything from support for the arts to unemployment rates and residents’ actual physical health. And comparing the newest data to those of past years, ACT gives us a sense of how we’re doing, whether things are getting better or worse. The purpose is not only to share information but also to encourage us to act – in ways that will be successful. This community doesn’t have a good track record in that area. We brag about how much we give to the United Way, how civic-minded we are. Show us a problem, and a task force will be studying it in the bat of an eye. But we’re long on talk and enthusiasm, short on successful action. Thus the potential of ACT – a program of the Rochester Area Community Foundation – and its Report Card. If the community has the facts, and looks at where we’re making progress and where we’re not, we at least have the basis for sound action. So what does the latest ACT Report Card tell us? There’s certainly some good news in it. Attendance at arts and cultural attractions – in everything from museums, theaters, and dance performances to festivals – has been increasing. Voter participation is higher than the state average. So is our library usage. Mortality rates from stroke, heart disease, and cancer are down. The infant mortality rate is down. Only 7 percent of the region’s residents lack health insurance, a rate that’s lower even than the state’s low rate. But the Report Card’s bad news is very bad. And it’s the same very bad news found in previous reports. The region’s childhood poverty rate, 21 percent, is slightly below the state average. But the rate in the City of Rochester is horrendous: 52 percent. And it’s especially high among African American and Hispanic children. The region’s overall poverty rate – 14 percent – is up, but it’s less than the state and national rates. The city’s poverty rate, however, is 33 percent. Seventy-three percent of families in the City of Rochester are headed by single parents – a condition we know is closely related to multi-generational poverty. I asked Tom Argust, who chairs the ACT advisory committee, whether he found any surprises in the latest report. “I don’t think
The Report Card’s bad news is very bad. And it’s the same very bad news found in previous reports.” so,” he said. “It’s pretty much the same. We’re treading water.” Treading water. It’s important that ACT puts out these numbers every year, but, as Argust notes, “that’s not the whole story.” “The story is what we do with this data,” he said. “Can we say that it’s pushing some kind of major change in this community?” It’s not that we’re doing nothing. At an event unveiling the latest report on Friday, ACT celebrated some individual actions that are making a difference, thanks to data that highlighted particular needs: a major cooperative effort in Yates County, for instance, that is resulting in a food pantry and other help for the poor. Those kinds of individual efforts are important. But we’re still waiting for major change. We have to lift the poor – the largest number of whom are concentrated in the City of Rochester – out of poverty. The ACT report says the region’s median household income has declined 15 percent since 2000. But business leaders have opposed raising the minimum wage. Our latest effort to reduce poverty, the two-year-old Rochester-Monroe Anti-Poverty Initiative, has been heavy on process, light on major, concrete action. And nobody seems willing to address the key challenge: the concentration of our poverty. We’ve had the evidence about our poverty for years. At some point, we have to summon the will to do what ACT’s name implies that we’ll do: Act. rochestercitynewspaper.com

STATE | BY JEREMY MOULE
Budget deal OK’s Uber, tuition aid, Raise the Age New York State now has a 2017-18 budget, even if it’s a little late. The far-reaching plan goes beyond basics such as school aid and department funding. The budget includes provisions that: • Clear the way for ride hailing services such as Uber and Lyft outside of New York City. The companies will have to carry insurance covering their drivers. The state will develop standards on background checks and antidiscrimination policies, among other things. A task force will make recommendations on “accessibility needs to protect and provide transportation to vulnerable populations.” • Establish a scholarship program that will make state schools essentially tuition-free. Students will still have to pay for room and board, books, and fees, which can be a substantial cost. Students at private colleges will also receive tuition assistance, as long as their schools agree to match the funds. Students who get the scholarships will have to remain in New York for a few years after college or the grants will become loans.

• Change the way the state treats nonviolent offenders younger than 18. Previously, the state automatically processed 16- and 17-yearold offenders through adult criminal courts. Under the Raise the Age measure, the state will treat most of those youths as juvenile offenders. They’ll also be held in specialized juvenile facilities rather than in adult jails or prisons. The measure phases in the changes through 2019 and calls for the creation of an implementation task force. • Provide for a $2.5 billion clean water infrastructure fund. • Provide funding to help counties improve indigent legal defense services consistent with a settlement between the state and plaintiffs represented by the New York Civil Liberties Union. The measure is not, however, a state takeover of indigent legal services funding. • Require counties to work with the municipal governments within them to find efficiencies and costs savings. Local government leaders say they already do this regularly, and they’ve viewed the initiative, proposed by Governor Cuomo, as hostile to local governments.

Catching a nap on campus Students at the Rochester Institute of Technology can now find the best sites on campus for taking a quick nap between classes, using the “Naps” link on the RIT website. They can click on the link, and a map with little Z’s scattered all over campus will show them where they can catch some. The website was about two years in the making, says Rachel Tassoni, who heads the Student Government’s Facilities, Parking, and Transportation Committee. The impetus: a group of students who kept being waked up by people who didn’t think they should be sleeping on couches and
chairs in the library, hallways, and lounge areas. Some of the students complained that the couches were being removed so they couldn’t be used for napping, says Tassoni. The pro-napping students circulated a petition to determine whether there was strong support for designated places to nap. They also took a survey asking students for their recommendations on the best nap sites on campus. Students rated the spots by comfort level, noise, foot traffic, and accessibility, says Tassoni. In addition, the pro-nappers identified no-nap areas, places where
faculty didn’t want students napping, she says. The students also researched the health benefits of napping. “We found that a 20-minute nap can help students with better test performance, and to be less moody and irritable,” Tassoni says. The campus now has 22 nap locations, with five deemed official nap stations complete with posters and guidelines. (Among them: naps shouldn’t be longer than 30 minutes.) “We’ve seen the website go from a few hundred students using it to over a thousand using it now,” says Tassoni.
RBTL’s proposal had gotten a boost with a $25 million pledge from philanthropist Tom Golisano. That’s the kind of “angel” donation that major non-profit projects need in order to get other donations. Morgan’s extensive experience in housing development was also a consideration.
DEVELOPMENT | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
How the city made its Parcel 5 choice If multiple large companies were moving their headquarters to downtown Rochester, or the county’s population were exploding, there’d have been a high-stakes bidding war over developing Midtown’s Parcel 5. Instead, city officials had to choose from a handful of proposals, each based partly on current demand, partly on confidence that demand will continue for years. On Friday, Mayor Lovely Warren announced her choice for a development: a last-minute proposal for a 3000-seat theater for the Rochester Broadway Theatre League topped, at the back, by an apartment tower developed by Morgan Communities. While RBTL’s theater had been in the mix from the start, Morgan’s had not. The other contender was developer Andy Gallina’s plan for a 14-story building housing condominiums and commercial space. (A third proposal, Visionary Square, which maintained the parcel as a public gathering spot, hadn’t been seriously considered.) There had been reports that Warren was ready to award Parcel 5 to Gallina. But as time neared to announce that choice, city officials apparently lost confidence in it. And RBTL and Morgan convinced the Warren administration that together, they could come up with the money to build their project.
Why did city officials choose RBTL and Morgan over Gallina, who is also a respected developer? RBTL’s proposal had gotten a boost recently with a $25 million pledge from philanthropist Tom Golisano. That’s just a fraction of what the theater will cost, but it’s the kind of “angel” donation that major non-profit projects need in order to get other donations. Morgan’s extensive experience in housing development was also a consideration. Together, the combined project offered the best of the original two proposals, city officials say. And it makes it more feasible to build a performing arts center downtown, which Warren very much wanted. Architects and engineers now have to come up with a firm design, and RBTL and Morgan have to flesh out how they’ll finance it. Then, if Warren still OK’s the plan, she’ll ask City Council to approve selling the land to RBTL and Morgan. Morgan’s apartments won’t be the only housing being developed downtown; 21
more projects are either already under way or in a serious planning stage. And new housing is being developed elsewhere in the city and in the suburbs. Is there demand for more?
The Warren administration insists that there is. The most recent data – from December 2015 – shows a 2.1 percent vacancy rate for downtown’s market-rate rental housing, according to the Rochester Downtown Development Corporation. That rate has been tightening LaBella Associates’ presented this concept for the Golisano Performing Arts Center on Main Street, with an apartment development at the for several years. And rear.

ACTIVISM | BY JEREMY MOULE
Activist wants changes in anti-abortion movement As far as Hannah Murphy is concerned, Bernie Sanders is more “prolife” than Donald Trump, even though Sanders supports abortion rights and Trump has started to attack abortion programs and funding, both domestic and global. Murphy herself is anti-abortion, but she says her distinction deals with broader matters. In simple terms: Sanders is more focused on policies that would benefit women socially, including pregnant women who choose to give birth, she says. The Brighton resident’s view of the two politicians, however, reflects her broader views of the so-called pro-life movement, of which she has become something of an internal critic. She refers to herself as a nonviolent feminist, and she follows the consistent life ethic: a principle that opposes abortion and views it as a form of violence but also opposes poverty, racism, war, the death penalty, and assisted suicide, all of which it also considers violence. Murphy wants to see a movement that addresses the underlying social issues that lead women to seek abortions and one that doesn’t shame women who have the procedure, she says. “No woman wants to have an abortion,” Murphy says. “It’s not like, ‘I’m going to go get pregnant just so I can experience an abortion.’ That’s bullshit.” The mainstream anti-abortion movement focuses almost entirely on the fetus and pays too little attention to empowering women, pregnant or not, Murphy says. It equates womanhood with procreation and too often is misogynistic and patriarchal, she says. Murphy has also taken the movement to task over a well-worn protest tactic. In February, she penned an op-ed for the Democrat and Chronicle urging abortion opponents to stop protesting outside of Planned Parenthood and, in particular, to stop using signs with pictures of dismembered fetuses. “What I was asking those people to do was really reflect on if they were being peaceful,” Murphy said during a recent interview. “I don’t think doing that is peaceful. I think that it’s causing harm. And even for the people who, you changed their minds, you still inflicted harm on them.” Abortion is an extremely volatile issue, especially right now. Abortion rights advocates have been in fight mode for years, as state after state placed severe 6 CITY
APRIL 12-18, 2017
restrictions on abortion clinics. The new laws forced the last remaining facilities in some states to close their doors. Right now, advocates are fighting a Republican bill in Congress that would strip funding from Planned Parenthood facilities, which at best would hurt the ability of clinics across the country to provide reproductive health services and breast cancer screenings. Murphy doesn’t support defunding or dismantling Planned Parenthood, because people rely on it for so many services other than abortion; she does object to the state covering abortions through Medicaid. She believes sex education and accessible, free birth control would go a long way toward preventing unplanned and unwanted pregnancies. And she wants abortion to be unnecessary, not illegal. She’s not alone in her views. Other members of Feminists for Nonviolent Choices, the consistent life ethic organization of which she is vice president, share her criticisms of the mainstream anti-abortion movement. They, too, do not want Planned Parenthood defunded, Murphy says. But she also critiques some people – not all – in abortion rights circles for their reluctance to work with abortion opponents on issues where they agree. She feels that for abortion rights advocates to be truly pro-choice, they too must work to improve society for women who choose to give birth. Murphy talked to CITY recently about her criticisms of the anti-abortion movement, her thoughts on Planned Parenthood, and her interest in working with abortion rights supporters on issues where they agree. The following is an edited version of that discussion.

CITY: Why do you object to abortion opponents protesting outside of Planned Parenthood and holding pictures of fetuses? Murphy: They’re gruesome images. I
think that using those violates the dignity of that person, violates the dignity of whomever created that person. I also think that it does harm to the intended audience. I think that it’s just mean.

I guess my argument, though, to people who use them, is: It’s not working, so just stop. It’s not necessary. There are other things and approaches; I don’t find it to be a non-violent approach. I find it to be very judgmental and aggressive. A lot of people assume that Planned Parenthood is Enemy No. 1 of abortion opponents. But it sounds like you see Planned Parenthood as a valuable health care provider. Is that fair?
People see them as the enemy, people see them as evil, and I think that’s a really uncivilized, backward – I don’t know what the good word to use is – way of thinking. It’s a very separatist way. I just don’t know that there are enough of these accessible, non-faith-based health centers. There are some, but are there enough? I don’t know. I don’t think so. I also know that people who have gone other places feel comfortable at Planned Parenthood. So who am I to say that they shouldn’t have access to the type of environment where they feel comfortable? I think Planned Parenthood has done a really commendable job reaching out, expanding itself to, like, the LGBT-plus community. That’s not happening elsewhere. And that’s what I think a lot of people get wrong.
One of the things that came out was the Rochester Regional Coalition Against Human Trafficking, which we’re a founding member of. Because at that time in 2013, there were a lot of local incidents of human trafficking. And so all of these different groups were working on the issue, and we got together for a meeting – different people – started talking, formed a coalition, and now here we are still together all these years later. Abortion rights supporters and abortion opponents seem wary of giving a platform to the opposing side, even if they agree on other priorities.
That’s a risk. My thing is, ‘Change me.’ I’m not afraid of listening to your story, your statistics, your experience, your point of view. I’m not afraid to change. I understand it, but if your platform, what you believe in, is true, why are you hiding what other people want to say? Transparency, people: put it out there. People are going to make up their minds. I don’t think that not giving a platform to people is the way to go. A poor woman who has an abortion is still f**kin’ poor. A woman whose boyfriend is in jail for a minor drug offense, and she has an abortion: he’s
still in jail. We’re not addressing the real problems here, and that’s what pisses me off about people in the pro-choice movement who aren’t willing to come to the table. Pro-choice has to mean more than supporting abortion. It has to respect and support all reproductive choices, all reproductive rights.
Do you, or would you, advocate for a legal ban on abortion?
I think that’s a slippery slope. So what happens if I do that? If abortion becomes illegal, what happens? Women still get abortions, right? I just don’t see that being the solution. It’s about education and awareness. There needs to be a more communal approach. We don’t have that. We’re so individualistic in this country, and that’s in every space. I feel like I stumble here because I don’t have the answer, but I feel that I just am not at that point where I can say I would want to see it illegal, because I think it’s too dangerous. I think it would be dangerous for women if that were the case, which kind of makes me contradictive. How do you get to the point where activists who differ on abortion can actually work together on shared interests or goals?
We work our f**king butts off. We [Feminsts for Nonviolent Choices] do a series where we focus on a different human-rights issue that’s relevant to the Rochester community and also globally. So we’ve done intimate partner violence, we’ve done sex trafficking, we’ve done female gendercide, we’ve done disability justice. Our next project is about incarceration. We find common ground by addressing the things on which we agree, and it works. rochestercitynewspaper.com

Comptroller criticizes RCSD State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli has given a harsh account of the Rochester City School District’s payroll processes, calling them “disorganized, highly decentralized, and not administered uniformly, resulting in errors that are costing taxpayers.” DiNapoli made the statement on Monday as he released a new audit of the district, conducted from July 2014 to October 2016. The audit also cited numerous problems with the district’s purchasing practices. To conduct the study of the district’s payroll practices, state auditors looked at payments to 45 district employees, some selected randomly, some selected deliberately because of such factors as the large number of checks written to them. Auditors found that of $3.8 million in salary and wages paid to those 45 employees, “incorrect or unsupported payments” were made to 41 of them. When the auditors widened their sample and looked at about 1,100 payroll payments made to additional employees, they found errors in 97 percent, totaling more than $356,000 in payments that were either wrong or couldn’t be supported with proper documentation. In their criticism of the district’s purchasing procedures, the auditors 8 CITY
APRIL 12-18, 2017
said the district failed to properly monitor employees’ purchasing practices. “Hundreds of staff ” used the district’s specialized credit cards for purchases outside of the district’s purchaseorder process. And the district didn’t consistently use competitive bidding when it should. As a result, auditors say, the district may have overpaid for its purchases of goods and services. The Rochester school district has operated on a budget of about $865 million annually in recent school years. DiNapoli noted that the majority of the district’s budget – about $640 million – goes to employee payroll, which seems to magnify the seriousness of its financial management problems. The audit contains recommendations for improvement, and school district officials largely agreed with those. But in a written response to the audit sent to the comptroller’s office last month, the officials challenged what they say is the implication the report makes to general readers: that payroll inaccuracies are widespread. They argue that the audit’s small sample doesn’t represent the entire payroll generated by the district’s system. District officials say that payroll is decentralized only in certain areas, and a lack of proper documents doesn’t mean the payments were not properly authorized.

A man with a plan [ CHOW HOUND ] BY KATIE LIBBY
Daniel Nielsen has a plan to put on one of the biggest music festivals Rochester has ever seen. The first step of this plan is Photo City (543 Atlantic Avenue), the music and comedy venue that officially re-opened under his sole ownership on January 14. Nielsen wants to use Photo City as a platform to help finance the music festival, he says. The venue was previously run by Nielsen’s father, Howard, the owner of Sticky Lips, and focused solely on improv and stand-up comedy. Daniel’s vision was to bring a more diverse crowd into the place by having live music, art, and burlesque in order to increase the attendance for the comedy and improv shows. It has worked. “I know right off the bat,” Nielsen says, “some of the comedians were a little worried that I might just forget about comedy, but I kept telling them that the vision was to bring more people together. And the attendance has been up at every show.”
Before purchasing Photo City, Nielsen got advice from some of Rochester’s top venue and business owners, like Abilene’s Danny Deutsch, the owners of the Bug Jar, and Armand Schaubroeck from the House of Guitars. “I’ve taken at least one piece of advice from all of them,” Nielsen says. Creating the mood for the venue has been a collaborative effort: his “right-hand man,” Bob Canfield, helps out with sound and lighting; Nielsen worked with local musician James Von Sinn to decorate the space — the walls are filled with art and images of Betty Page and other burlesque performers — and his staff includes many local artists, which was a purposeful choice. “Working here, they will have enough money to further their businesses; if we do well, they do well,” says Nielsen. Nielsen brings in national acts, but has a soft spot in his heart for local musicians. “I love local talent more than anything,” he says. “I want all of our local people to be able to use this place as their platform; their stepping stone. I’m sure that one day we’ll
look back and we’ll have that next great artist that was here.” As for the music festival: Nielsen sees it happening as early as 2018. “I have a vision for a different sort of music festival,” he says. “I see another genre of music that can be brought here as well. Why not let the younger generation percolate to the top and do something? I know they are lofty dreams, but what’s life unless you have big dreams?” Photo City is located at 543 Atlantic Avenue, and is open Tuesday through Sunday, 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. 288-9355; photocityimprov.com.

Health issues forced Lumiere Photo owner Bill Edwards to close up shop, but the business may yet have a future [ ART FEATURE ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
After more than four decades in the photographic printing, archival, framing, and gallery industry, Bill Edwards closed the doors of his business, Lumiere Photo, at the end of March. Health issues have led Edwards to step back and reassess what he’s able to keep on his plate. Through the years, the many iterations of his business have been an important resource to artists, students, and educators, and while it’s currently closed, except for printing services, Lumiere’s future is uncertain. Edwards is in ongoing talks with a few potential buyers, and he says that if a deal goes through, he’ll try to give the next owner as much of a leg up as he can. Edwards has mixed emotions involved in this transition: while he regrets having to release the reins, he is looking forward to spending time focusing on his own art. Those interviewed about Lumiere’s closing — longtime clients of the business, and artists who have become close friends with Edwards — consistently spoke of the unparalleled services that Lumiere offered. Edwards is well-respected for his expertise as well as his dedication to helping others. Since 1970, when Edwards founded Lumiere’s predecessor, Light Impressions, he’s built a reputation of offering the highest quality archival and framing services and products. With the onset of digital technology in the 90’s, Edwards’ business focus shifted to include printing services that have been sought by national and international clients. And throughout, he’s been known as an open and helpful resource who has placed his own art on the back burner in order to boost the work of other artists. “It was going well, but then I hit a bump in the road,” Edwards says, referring to his February 17 heart attack and subsequent major surgery. “I can’t continue to even modestly do what I was doing.” With no warning or prior health issues, Edwards had a massive heart attack just after finishing up work on an exhibition for one of Lumiere’s museum clients, the continues on page 12 rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 11
Life after Lumiere continues from page 11
Franklin Delano Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum. Last November the museum contacted Edwards for a timely exhibition they were planning about the Japanese Internment during WWII (FDR was the president who issued the executive order to initiate the internment). The exhibit was planned for late 2017, but after the election, they decided to accelerate it. Edwards was asked to print the exhibition’s images, using material mainly sourced from the Smithsonian Institution’s archives. He says he was thrilled to be tapped to work with stunning black and white images by Dorothea Lange, Ansel Adams, and others. Edwards was tasked with resizing, cleaning up, printing, matting, and framing 200 images, and also preparing mural posters and supplemental materials for the gallery. Edwards’ heart attack happened after attending a private tour of the exhibit. After four emergency stints and an angioplasty procedure, he’s currently focused on recovery. “It’s been hard coming to terms with giving up Lumiere,” he says, “but it was even harder having a heart attack.” Edwards opened Light Impressions in 1970,
during his last year of graduate studies at Visual Studies Workshop. Light Impressions sold a complete line of photographic darkroom supplies and some equipment; high-quality archival, preservation, and presentation materials; non-silver photographic supplies; and photographic textbooks and critically-selected fine art photographic books. The shop — which at high points, employed more than 100 people — also offered framing services. The store and Edwards first made an impression on artist Brian Oglesbee in 1972, before he lived in New York State. While traveling with students and faculty from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago on a photo-related pilgrimage, he recalls seeing Edwards at the Light Impressions, and remembers him as energetic and enterprising. In the 80’s, Edwards and Oglesbee began a decades-long professional relationship, during which time Edwards has been an important client, advisor, mentor, and great friend, Oglesbee says. But from his first impression during that trip from Chicago, Oglesbee says, “it was clear we were in the presence of an important advocate for the fine art of photography. It was through Bill and Light Impressions that I — and most artists I knew — were made aware of the importance of archive storage and preservation. And no one was more committed to the production, promotion, and dissemination of great books of photography.” 12 CITY APRIL 12-18, 2017

Under the Light Impressions imprint, Edwards published several books on photography, including “A Treatise on Photogravure” by Herbert Denison, “The Handbook of Contemporary Photography” by Arnold Gassan, “Perception and Imaging” by Richard Zakia, and Nathan Lyons’ “Notations in Passing,” in collaboration with the MIT Press. Edwards also published educational audiovisual media, which has been used in schools and universities around the world. Advertising photographer Ken Buschner discovered Light Impressions in the late 1970’s, when he was a photo student at RIT. Looking for high quality mount boards and backing papers, his class sought out Light Impressions on Monroe Avenue. “We would come downtown from campus just to get the good stuff,” he says. “And they had the good stuff, meaning archival materials where our prints wouldn’t fade over the years.” In response to the onset of digital technology, Edwards sold Light Impressions in 1995 to 20th Century Photo. “So many things were changing,” Edwards says, “and I wanted to build a company to respond to that change, and to participate in the excitement of it. That was the genesis of Lumiere.”
Edwards opened the new business in 1999 at
439 Monroe Avenue. In addition to continuing aspects of the archival and picture framing business that he had developed under Light Impressions, Lumiere offered professional wide format digital printing, featured Spectrum Gallery and a digital lab with Mac computers where people could rent time. The business also offered on-site digital experts to assist customers, and held workshops on color management and other digital skills. “It was not only an engagement of educating others, but myself,” Edwards says. Having graduated from RIT in 1968 with a skillset in wet darkroom photography, the digital world was an exciting new ballgame for him as much as anyone. Rochester-based photographer Pat Wilder’s first visited Light Impressions after she took up photography in 1996, just after Edwards had sold the company. Then-manager Bob Alles mentioned that Edwards — who still ran the gallery for a short time — was planning to show local photographers in the space, and suggested that Wilder contribute her work. “Being a true beginner, I really had no business having a show,” Wilder says. “But I readily agreed, as did Bill. And that show determined the path that I would take with
my work — the path that I am gratefully still following.” Edwards asked Wilder to show her work again in 2012 at Spectrum Gallery, which she says was a “beautifully planned space — one of the few really professional gallery spaces in the area.” In 2000, the Monroe Avenue building was sold, and Lumiere needed to relocate. Edwards moved to 100 College Avenue, across from the Village Gate, and was instrumental in getting RIT’s Gallery r to move in next door when it left its Park Avenue location. “There was a great symbiosis between the students and the gallery and the archival knowledge that they were getting,” he says. At this location, Lumiere’s clients were greeted cheerfully at the door by employees working in the front reception and work area, and the gentle hum of computers. The open, bright space also functioned as a retail shop, with displays of archival materials and examples of completed work. Toward the back of the space was Spectrum Gallery, a deep room where visitors could view beautifully curated, world-class exhibitions featuring nationally and internationally known artists such as John Pfahl and Carl Chiarenza as well as some up-and-coming photographers and the work of students. Artist talks and lectures were held there, and the space also occasionally hosted meetings held by gallery and museum directors.

Rochester Contemporary Executive Director Bleu Cease says that in addition to being a team player as a regular First Friday venue, Lumiere and Edwards have been supportive of RoCo through sponsoring awards and exhibitions, particularly the annual “6x6” exhibit. In recent years, Spectrum presented an exhibit of images from “The Ground,” a meditative, water-themed artist book by Visual Studies Workshop Director Tate Shaw; the first US exhibit of photos by young Ukrainian photographer Sergiy Lebedynskyy; and a show of luminous paintings by Jay Pullman, a Lumiere client and brother of actor Bill Pullman. But Edwards says that over time Lumiere’s traffic and work volume began to slow due to increased competition from other picture framing businesses, and artists beginning to scan and print their own work. In May 2015, Lumiere relocated to its most recent location in the rear of 100 College Avenue. A talented photographer in his own right,

Edwards is planning to refocus his energy to further develop his own photographic practice. “I’m a big fan of his work and I am excited to see where he goes next,” Cease says, adding that he himself has purchased some of Edwards’ photos from “6x6” exhibits. Oglesbee says that he’s always admired Edwards’ work and has hoped he would be able to commit full time to it. “Through all the years I’ve known him, he has always kept a studio and has been steadily producing work,” he says. “But I’m greedy, and I can’t wait to see a whole lot more of it.” Artists Albert and Frances Paley have known Edwards personally and professionally for about 30 years, and cheer him on as he focuses on his own work. “After all that he has contributed to the community I am pleased that he will be able to devote more time to his vision in his own work,” Albert says. “He certainly deserves this time for personal introspection,” Frances adds. Frances says that for her, Edwards has not only been a friend but also a mentor. “When I began to focus on fine art prints in 2000, Bill was the first person I showed the work to after Albert,” she says. “I have always valued his responses and he
has been generous with his time. His knowledge of photographers in the field is immense and discussing things with him has always been illuminating.” And Edwards has often shown the Paleys his own work. Frances says that she admires his aesthetic: the photos are subtle and profound, and invite the viewer to look calmly and deeply into the image. “I’ve always been gun-shy about exhibiting my own work, as a gallery owner, especially in a small city like this,” Edwards says. Of the few times he has, once was after he was talked into it by photographer friends, including Carl Chiarenza and Nathan Lyons. Edwards says his black and white photography is aesthetically influenced by abstract expressionist painters. Much of his work is characterized by a playful emphasis on converging lines and layers of textures that intentionally make the viewer question what they are seeing. One image he shot in the Finger Lakes features the side of a barn with grasses below and the sky above, and has been mistaken for a seascape. He began photographing walls and over time added elements that create the illusionary effect of a lack of space. “I try to express my four dimensional reality onto a flat plane,” he says. “There are certain ways that trick the eye that I’ve taught myself, and in so doing, it begins to create an illusion and people can discover in it what they want to.” Some of his images give a strong impression of a cinematic experience, offering quiet, subtle sense impressions of things that happen in the background of life’s dramas, building an important staging atmosphere where unspoken narratives dwell. Sharp highlights paired with deep, absorbing darkness characterize a suite of photographs Edwards created at the house and grounds where Napoleon was exiled on the island of Elba. Edwards says that he prefers to create pictures that present ideas and open up a mental space in the viewers that gives them room to wander and project themselves into the story that the picture tells. “I always try to introduce into my photographs more questions than answers, a sense of mystery, and sometimes intrigue,” Edwards says. rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 13

Rochester expats Dreamland Faces break the ice on its new EP (and 10-inch vinyl), “Icebreaker,” with a slight case of discordant chaos that has the duo welcoming coronet, cello, and mysterious noises that grow on the listener like an itch. You see, Dreamland Faces is an accordion and saw duo. That’s right: a saw. And it’s the most angelic and melancholic strain you’ll ever hear. Adding to the precious fragility and quirk is accordionist Karen Majewicz’s voice as it intones over a bed of accordion, Andy McCormick’s saw, and the music box ether. The sound is a little denser than what’s found in their earlier work since the duo incorporates other instruments and those respective characters and tones. A staple at Java’s at the Public Market before moving to The Twin Cities about 10 years ago, Dreamland Faces offered the sepia-toned soundtrack as we sipped coffee and imagined ourselves in a silent movie as it unfolded before us. “Icebreaker” is hauntingly beautiful with its allusions to sidewalk cafes, sophistication, heartache, and a time where everything was punctuated by a cigarette magic. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Rochester duo Fleeting Frame follows up its “Sleepless” single, released last November, with the corresponding EP. This is a great record of guitar-on-guitar play and harmonious introspection. At first glance, it’s apparent all five songs found on the EP are simple and could survive being played simply — thankfully, though, the duo chooses not to. The vocals are convincingly urgent and passionate. The harmonies are atypical and clever. But it’s the guitars as they support one another by setting out from different perspectives that makes this duo — Dave and Holly Kluge — and this record so special. It’s as if they took slightly wonky, obtuse jazz arrangements and straightened them out thematically but not in structure; it’s like sugar-coating it in reverse. Genre-wise it’s hard to peg Fleeting Frames. It’s too complex to be awarded a folk merit badge. It could be filed in the darker pop shelves where lyrical irony and six-string pleasantries touch upon multiple emotions without favoring just one.

Music purpose of eating, drinking, and watching live bands do their thing, and they’re engaged with our show and our music, I’m on cloud nine — especially when I get to take my shoes off and go join the party after an electrifying set. We always pull out the stops and go all out, when we hit a festival stage in front of a good crowd. My ideal audience is always a crowd that can get down and party, but still appreciate the music we’re putting out there. The cool thing about our show is that it tends to transcend age and style sometimes. We’ve played shows for children, shows at retirement homes, and everything in between. I just like to see our music touch as many different kinds of people as it can. That’s part of what we aim to do. What are some of your influences, both genres and artists?
The Dirty Bourbon River Show is a lunatic parade of Big Easy sounds. The act just released its 10th album, "The Flying Musical Circus." PHOTO BY BY JOSH BRASTED
Come on in [ INTERVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE
Dirty Bourbon River Show TUESDAY, APRIL 18 ABILENE BAR AND LOUNGE, 153 LIBERTY POLE WAY 8 P.M. | $8 | ABILENEBARANDLOUNGE.COM; DIRTYBOURBONRIVERSHOW.COM
New Orleans act Dirty Bourbon River Show is more than a band. It’s a show with extra biz. It’s a lunatic parade; a collaboration. It’s a concept. It’s a blast of New Orleans brass punctuated by the reedy lope of the accordion and the sub-strata honk of the sousaphone. It’s a boundless endeavor of funky hooks and sonic contortion that goes way beyond the Big Easy idiom — and all that it espouses — to include Lisztian pianodriven ballads, Latin rhythms, blues, and a wild, bombastic hybrid that must be seen to be believed. On stage, it’s a goddamn circus. With a certain degree of madness spewing from the pulpit, Dirty Bourbon River Show urges you into the cauldron. Come on in; the bourbon’s fine. The infectious energy will not be denied. Dirty Bourbon River Show just released its 10th album, the aptly titled “The Flying Musical Circus,” and is hitting the road hard to bring it to the faithful, and even to the philistines. Matt Thomas, the band’s saxophonist and clarinetist, was kind enough to tolerate some questions 16 CITY APRIL 12-18, 2017
from CITY. An edited transcript of that conversation follows. CITY: Give me a little background Matt Thomas: The band actually started out
back in 2009, while the original members were still students at Loyola University New Orleans. Noah Adams and our original drummer, Dane Schindler, hit the stage at the one and only Tipitina’s for Homegrown Night as a sort of one-off thing, and the ball began to roll. They picked up a saxophonist and a bass and sousaphone player and another vocalist along the way and hit the New Orleans scene hard for a few years, even picking up a regular gig as a backing band for a burlesque troop. Around the spring of 2011, I happened to be in the right place at the right time and assumed the role of resident sax and clarinet player when everyone graduated and decided to try to tour full-time. From there, we basically shed our worldly possessions and hit the road. We’ve been playing music together for around six years; played music in 43 states, released 10 albums, and traveled to Europe twice. It’s been a hell of a ride, and there’s still more to come. What’s the difference between you and other bands that have their sound rooted in New Orleans music?
That’s the beautiful thing about New
Orleans bands, is that no two are the same. The city has such a unique mix of different and vibrant sounds, flavors, smells, and sights, and the musical culture reflects that. Our own take on it is a blend of the very different musical backgrounds of our members mixed with Noah’s prolific and unique songwriting. We go all over with our influences, from jazz to classical to funk to New Orleans brass band music to Americana and beyond. Every song is a little different and has its own personality. Another thing I’d emphasize that helps us stand out is our stage show. We aim to pull you in, make you part of the party, give you something to look at, make you want to move your feet and drink whiskey with us after the show. We want the audience to remember the good time they had, and we pull you into the experience. Just like the name implies: we’re a show, not a band. What’s an ideal show? Audience?
At this point, we’ve played all sorts of places: dive bars, listening rooms, world-class music halls, coffee shops, music festivals large and small, backyards, weddings, tattoo parlors, river boats, and even the Radio and Television Correspondents Dinner in Washington, D.C. Each type of gig has its unique perks, but I’ll take an outdoor music festival any day. When people are out in the sunshine en masse for the sole
Like I said before, we tend to be all over the place. We, of course, draw from the traditional jazz and brass band culture of New Orleans, but we also have a lot of rock and folk influence in there. We play around with Latin rhythms, Russian stomp style, classical themes, reggae, etc. Off the cuff, I’d say we draw influences from Tom Waits, Gogol Bordello, Man Man, The Beatles, Frank Zappa, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Franz Liszt, Rebirth Brass Band, Debauche, John Coltrane … I could go on and on. What’s something people get wrong about your band?
Our name, all the time. I’ve seen so many creative misspellings of the word “Bourbon,” and people often mix up the words (like Dirty River Bourbon Band). The worst for me, though, is when people substitute Band for Show. I really take pride in our stage show, so I feel like it’s important to have that word in there. Dirty Bourbon River Show just has a nice ring to it, I think. How do you balance your musicianship with your onstage antics?
The name of the game is to have fun with it. Learning music is a never-ending journey, and it can get really serious sometimes. When you do something for long enough, though, you learn to throw your personality into it and actually play. While it’s important to really focus during some of those more intense moments, you can then loosen up and get creative for the less intense stuff. The way I see it, is that being a great musician is only part of being a great performer and entertainer. The skills you need extend beyond your instruments and to the audience you’re trying to reach. What’s something you’ll never do?
Quit playing music … and probably eat human flesh. But definitely never quitting music.

All it took was for me to hear this flame-haired lady’s take on Rick Derringer’s “Still Alive and Well” and I was a goner. Wonderland is a double threat: on guitar as well as her vocal testimony. Comparisons to Janis Joplin get tossed about, and they make sense, but honestly she’s better than Joplin. There, I said it: Carolyn Wonderland is better than Janis Joplin. Wonderland may live in Austin, but her guitar owns the sky.

CLASSICAL | EMANUEL AX
The illustrious pianist Emanuel Ax arrives in Rochester on Monday with an excellent program of intimate impromptus, both classic and new. Ax will present Franz Schubert’s alluring and enigmatic Four Impromptus alongside rising contemporary composer Samuel Adams’ “Impromptu 2 ‘After Schubert.’” The program also features music by arguably the most beloved composer for the piano, Frédéric Chopin, including his elegant Sonata No. 3 in B Minor. Ax is a performer who brings both joviality and gravitas to Chopin, often in the same phrase. The Eastman School has long hosted upper-echelon chamber music concerts and this one ranks right at the top.

Chris Cosnowski’s hyper-realism oil painting “Ken Head Pow” is on display at RoCo as part of the new show “It’s Not Funny.” PHOTO PROVIDED
Critical crackup “It’s Not Funny” THROUGH MAY 13 ROCHESTER CONTEMPORARY ART CENTER, 137 EAST AVENUE WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY, 1 P.M. TO 5 P.M.; FRIDAYS UNTIL 9 P.M. $2 | 461-2222; ROCHESTERCONTEMPORARY.ORG [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
Rochester Contemporary Art Center’s newest show, “It’s Not Funny,” brings together local, national, and international creators who use toys and humor as raw materials for art that expresses serious subject matter. Bright colors and familiar playthings draw viewers and create a wry dissonance when the makers’ meanings sink in. The show brings together a variety of traditional and more outlandish materials, from hyper-realistic oil paintings of chrome trophies and toys by Chicago artist Chris Cosnowski and Florida-based artist Dan Gunderson’s eyecatching, translucent photographs of bright toys carefully arranged into dazzling mandalas to an ambitious installation by Rochester-based balloon-art collaborative Airigami. Known for their impressively complex balloon-art sculptures, Airigami artists Larry Moss and Kelly Cheatle have departed from their usual work of transforming environments with light-hearted subjects to create something darkly topical. “No chains will ever hold that” features a King Kongesque Donald Trump scaling the Capitol building and holding Lady Liberty hostage, while paper jets fly toward the monster. 22 CITY APRIL 12-18, 2017
With remarkable attention to folding the right balloons just-so, the work reads like a political cartoon come to life. They perfectly capture the beastly politician’s sense-defying hair swoop and rage-puckered face Cosnowski’s jaw-dropping paintings contain a fascinating tension between their dually loud and subtle nature. On the one hand, the high-contrast, bright colors and utterly perfect rendering of plastic and metallic surfaces scream for attention, but the subject matter demands a bit of thought. “Ferrigno” sets a chrome trophy with the likeness of actor and bodybuilder Lou Ferrigno appropriately against a pure Hulk green background, nodding to his iconic status. “The trophies are presented as a critique of capitalism since they’re all about winning and competition,” Cosnowski says in his artist statement. Cosnowski’s own likeness is reflected multiple times in the statue, a distorted selfportrait, which he says he’s included as his acknowledgement of his participation in the commodification of art, when paintings serve as trophies for collectors. In Cosnowski’s “M1A2 Abrams Model Parts,” numbered, riveted bits of a toy tank are still connected to the packaging grid, awaiting a model-maker’s careful work and war games. And “I Love Humanity This Much” features the foolish and fragile Humpty Dumpty wearing a vacant smirk, with his short arms spread wide. Columbus, Ohio, artist Tyler Bohm’s mixed media work addresses the role of technology and social media in shaping our lives and experiences. Two “Filter Bubble” works take on a science-fiction tone, with groups of tiny
figurines unwittingly trapped under domes and the bodies arranged into clusters forming happy and angry faces when seen from above. The works “comment on social media filters, specifically the way they sell you a sense of community at the cost of distorting reality,” Bohm says in a provided statement. And the potentially dangerous limitations of socialmedia algorithms is explored further in his “Almost Utopia,” in which a mob forms the iconic Facebook “like” thumbs-up, except for one dissenting individual. Rochester-based artist Bob Conge — the man behind the custom vinyl figure company, Plaseebo — was ahead of the trend that has blown up since vinyl collectables company Kidrobot entered the scene. Nearly 50 of his creations are presented on lines of shelves, showing off Conge’s diverse style of misfits, beasts, and bots. Combining elements of the macabre with animal features and machinery, many of the figures reflect Conge’s cultural criticisms. Included are a monstrous “Atomic Chicken” taking revenge on humanity; “Lobbyist,” a bloated shark shredding the American flag; and “Bank America/Come Suckle on the Tit of Credit,” a shitting, skull-faced piggy bank that comes with bottle nipples and a human mask. Across the space is an installation of five images from Tel Aviv-born, Vancouverbased photographer Dina Goldstein’s “In the Dollhouse” series. Saturated in pink, the largeformat images were created using live models and room-sized sets. With rotating limb lines added, stiff gestures, and plastic-looking wigs, the subjects effectively present the illusion of staring at Barbie and Ken dolls. But Goldstein’s behind-the-scenes visions of the perfect couple’s private life challenge ideals of beauty, power, gender stereotypes, and happiness. The images depict a closeted Ken primping while Barbie looks on; in one picture she walks in on him and another handsome doll. Rochester-based artist Jason Schulmerich typically creates sci-fi-inspired drawings, but for this exhibit, he presents two zines: “Hell Bart” and “Hell Mickey.” The works were created in collaboration with friends and strangers, who Schulmerich asked to quickly depict the universally-known characters without reference imagery. This simple concept yields some entertaining doodles — some of which are replicated in vinyl on the wall above the zines — and a surprisingly deeper connection. In his statement, Schulmerich says, “I’d say if you want to connect with humanity on a massively global scale, your best bet would be to use a talking mouse or lovable juvenile with a really bad attitude.”

COMEDY | “XENO 911” Demons, zombies, and beer pixies, oh my! Who you gonna call? Why, the Rochester branch of the Office of Extranormal Affairs, of course. “Xeno 911” is an original radio play-style production that is sort of a mash-up of the hit TV shows “Reno 911” and “The X-Files.” In addition to destructive cryptozoology, the story’s investigator characters are faced with state budget cuts, nosy reporters, and out-of-control HR. Created by Ray Anthony Claxton and Ted Wenskus, the show debuted during the 2016 Rochester Fringe Festival. On Thursday, April 13, at 7:30 p.m., Meredith Powell Carroll and Ted Wenskus will present a one-night-only encore performance, which includes two action-packed episodes, at MuCCC (142 Atlantic Avenue). Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at muccc.org or by calling 866-811-4111. There is no fee for online purchases, but a $1 service charge will apply for phone orders.

Many young filmmakers get their start directing short films. Yet, outside of festivals or the occasional cartoon in front of the latest animated blockbuster, there’s not many opportunities left for audiences to see short films on the big screen. The chance to see what the next generation of filmmakers are creating is just one of the things that makes the Rochester International Film Festival so special. Now entering its 59th year (making it the longest continually-held short film festival in the world), this year’s RIFF will screen 29 animated, comedy, drama, documentary, and
Thursday, April 20, 8 p.m.
Striking ocean-front cinematography distinguishes Chris Fiorentini’s “Generation Gap,” a work about a young man attempting to make peace with his past after fleeing a stint at a nearby mental hospital. The charming dramatic comedy “Après l’hiver (After Winter),” from Joachim Weissmann and Amandine Hinnekens, finds an elderly woman using a bit of deception to gain some companionship. An ayahuascafueled hallucination helps a man face his fears and find love in the fantastical “Pounce,” directed by Conor Chandler Simpson. It’s not difficult to guess where it’s ultimately headed, but “Trunk Space” is a solidly effective thriller about what A scene from “The Ravens,” screening on Saturday, April 22, as part of the happens when two Rochester International Film Festival.

Friday April 21, 8 p.m.
In the Italian drama “Una Bellissima Bugia (A Beautiful Lie),” a young man confined to a wheelchair has a chance meeting with a stranger who may end up changing the course of his life forever. A man and woman forge a connection while waiting for the bus on a rainy evening in David Sanz and Tony López’s lovely “La Parada (The Stop).” Set in the waiting room of a doctor’s office, the Iranian comedy “Mwah” peeks in on the conversations between several expectant mothers’ unborn children, with a “Look Who’s Talking”-style. Struggling to work up the courage to talk to his pretty neighbor, a shy New Yorker gets an unexpected assist from an alarming radio transmission in the 1930’s-set “The Suitor.” In “Riding the Highline,” poetry-writing brothers Kai and Anders Carlson-Wee document their adventurous experiences jumping freight trains along the Burlington Highline route.

King of Pop to connect with his young daughter in the sweet “Pancake Jackson.” The Taiwanese drama “Dots” follows a teenage girl with fading vision who goes to great lengths to help her mother see the world through her eyes.

“Molasses & Lemon” features testimonials from
people doing their best to describe the sensation of falling both in and out of love. In the somber “The Promise,” a young boy is faced with some difficult decisions when his parents leave him on his own while they go off in search of work. After being named the Most Average Israeli by the country’s Central Bureau of Statistics, a man’s life takes a most abnormal turn in the hilarious “An Average Story.” Director and choreographer Ben Hartley’s “Early Mourning” is a tender and sensual exploration of death and loss told through dance. Short and sweet, “All the World’s a Stage” features cleverly stylized animation by director Hannes Rall as he illustrates the famous monologue from Shakespeare’s “As You Like It.” Visit rochestercitynewspaper.com on Friday for additional film coverage, including a review of “Gifted,” starring Chris Evans, Jenny Slate, and Octavia Spencer.

The tidy, compact exterior of the home at 40 Norfolk Street, surrounded by a weeping cherry tree, Japanese maple, and rhododendrons, has excellent curb appeal. A precursor to the sprawling Ranch homes of the 1950s and 60s, this one-and-a-half story home is more spacious than it appears from the outside and boasts plenty of midcentury charm. With 1,364 square feet and an attached garage, it’s a great starter home for a young family or professionals. Outside, you’ll find lovingly cared for landscaping, a small backyard with patio, a good-sized driveway, and an attached onecar garage, connected to the house with an enclosed breezeway. Inside, you’ll find a surprising amount of living space, with four bedrooms, two full baths, an eat-in kitchen, and a spacious living room. The front door opens to a small entryway with original midcentury tile, the staircase, and the living room. The living room is filled with natural light from the large picture window and is both roomy and cozy. The kitchen at the back of the house features original cabinetry and a fabulous mid-century tile backsplash. The three-season breezeway off the kitchen leads to the garage and backyard patio. Down the hall, the full bathroom also has period tile, which any mid-century modern fan will drool over. Two bedrooms, one of which was converted from
the dining room and could esily be converted back, round out the first floor. Upstairs is the second full bath, which has been completely updated, a third good-sized bedroom, and another room that could be used as a bedroom, den, or office space. This room is a real treasure, featuring midcentury knotty pine paneling throughout. 40 Norfolk St. is located in the Upper Mount Hope neighborhood, just a block from Strong Memorial Hospital and within convenient walking distance to College Town and the University of Rochester. The Frederick Law Olmsted-designed Genesee Valley Park, which connects to the Genesee Riverway Trail, the Lehigh Valley Trail, and the Erie Canalway Heritage Trail, is an amazing asset to have right at your fingertips and provides for convenient bike commuting to downtown or RIT. Listed at an asking price of $179,900, 40 Norfolk St. is a great value and, with its convenient location and mid-century charm, would be a lovely place to call home.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD
World’s Coolest City
Recently, in Dubai (the largest city in the United Arab Emirates), Dubai Civil Defense started using water jetpacks that lift firefighters off the ground to hover in advantageous positions as they work the hoses. Also, using jet skis, rescuers can avoid traffic altogether by using the city’s rivers to arrive at fires (and, if close enough to a waterway, can pump water without hydrants). Even more spectacularly, as early as this summer, Dubai will authorize already tested one-person, “Jetsons”-type drones for ordinary travel in the city. The Ehang 184 model flies about 30 minutes on an electrical charge, carrying up to 220 pounds at about 60 mph.
Latest Human Rights
Convicted murderer Philip Smith (a veteran criminal serving life for killing the father of a boy Smith had been sexually abusing) escaped from prison in New Zealand with the help of a disguise that included a toupee for his bald head — before being caught. Prison officials confiscated the toupee, but Smith said a shiny head behind bars made him feel “belittled, degraded and humiliated” and sued for the right to keep the toupee. (In March, in a rare case in which a litigant succeeds as his own lawyer, Smith prevailed in Auckland’s High Court.) In March, star soccer goalkeepr Bruno Fernandes de Souza signed a two-year contract to play for Brazil’s Boa Esporte club while he awaits the outcome of his appealed conviction for the 2010 murder of his girlfriend. (He had also fed her body to his dogs.) He had been sentenced to 22 years in prison, but was released by a judge after seven, based on the judge’s exasperation at the years-long delays in appeals in Brazil’s sluggish legal system.
Awesome!
The Cleveland (Ohio) Street Department still had not (at press time) identified the man, but somehow he, dressed as a road worker, had wandered stealthily along Franklin Boulevard during March and removed more than 20 standard “35 mph” speed limit signs — replacing all with official-looking “25 mph” signs that he presumably financed himself. Residents along those two miles of Franklin have long complained, but the city kept rejecting pleas for a lowered limit.
Mating Strategies
The Apenheul primate park in Apeldoorn, Netherlands, is engaged in a four-year experiment, offering female orangutans an iPad loaded with photos of male orangutans now housed at zoos around the world, with the females able to express interest or disinterest (similar to swiping right or left on the human dating app Tinder). Researchers admit results have been mixed, that some males have to be returned home, and once, a female handed the iPad with a potential suitor showing, merely crushed the tablet. (Apps are not quite to the point of offering animals the ability to digitally smell each other.) Peacocks are “well known” (so they say) to flash their erect, sometimes-6-foot-high rack of colorful tail feathers to attract mating opportunities. However, as researchers in Texas recently found, the display might not be important. Body cameras placed on peahens at eye level (to learn how they check out strutting males) revealed that the females gazed mostly at the lowest level of feathers (as if attracted only to certain colors rather than the awesomeness of the towering flourish).

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t be shy. If you have an interest in someone, step up and do something to get his or her attention. Waiting on the sideline to be noticed isn’t going to get you to first base. Ask questions, and you’ll find out what makes your love interest tick. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Make romantic choices based on the qualities and personal characteristics that are most appealing and important to you. If someone makes you feel stifled or doesn’t treat you as an equal, you are best to take a pass. The right partner will treat you with kindness and respect.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll find it difficult to give yourself to one person unless you find someone who can hold your interest and stimulate you mentally, physically and emotionally. Don’t make promises to anyone who falls short of your expectations. Getting involved with the wrong partner will leave you in a difficult position. CANCER (June 21-July 22): It’s OK to let your feelings show and to share your thoughts, intentions and long-term plans. You are in a high romantic cycle, so don’t be afraid to go all out when it comes to pleasing that special someone. Love at first sight is possible.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Look for the partner who can keep up, is willing to experiment and explore fantasies with you and also someone who is able to contribute to your personal and professional goals. Choose the one who is just as regal, confident and accomplished as you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Make social plans that are unique, something you have never done before or attended in the past. Choose to be around people who are creative or who come from different backgrounds, and you will find someone who you find fascinating, interesting and makes you smile.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Participate, or you’ll miss a chance to meet someone special. Relax and put less of a focus on finding someone to marry, and you will focus more on enjoying life and what it has to offer. The more nonchalant you appear, the more desirable you will become. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You are in the driver’s seat when it comes to love and romance. You’ll instinctively know when you’ve met the right person and when to make your move. Your mysterious persona will capture hearts wherever you go, but it is up to you to make a choice.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your playful, outgoing nature will draw all sorts of attention. Don’t feel you have to make a snap decision or a promise to someone before you are ready. Play around a bit, and see who grabs your attention and holds your interest the longest. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The time is right to look for someone with substance -- someone who has the qualities you look for in a forever partner. Make observations and consider how he or she treats friends, family and possessions, and it will be easy to choose the right partner.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Actions will make the difference. No matter what someone tells you, it will come down to how he or she treats you. Hold out for the partner who shows courtesy, respect and is not possessive or controlling, and you will be happy in life and in love. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Do something that makes you feel good about who you are and the service and help you offer. Your involvement will lead to an encounter with someone who feels the same way you do about giving back, sharing and achieving satisfaction by offering kindness and consideration to others.
