The new Republicans

Now that we have seen huge cuts proposed to many federal social programs that help millions of Americans, people may finally be ready to consider the fact that today’s Republican Party and especially the Republicans in Congress are different from those we remember in the 1950’s and 1960’s.

Having studied “Conservative” political thought for the past 40 years, it is my conclusion that a lot of “Conservatives” in 2017 USA (but not all) do not believe that the federal government should spend one cent on any social programs that help people, including Social Security.

It gives me no pleasure to say this. I just believe that people who have warm and caring hearts, who have compassion for others, who believe that government should try to help people who are struggling in life (in other words, “liberals” and “progressives”) need to be informed and accept the fact that this is so. This is what we are dealing with and will continue to deal with in the future.

Changing parties

It has been 40-plus years that I have been a registered Republican. I have rarely voted outside the party line for political offices. Every presidential election from Richard Nixon’s second term through Mitt Romney, I voted for the Republican candidate.

In 2016 I voted, but not for Donald Trump. My 2 CITY

stomach, like many others’, churned at the thought of this inexperienced, new politician becoming a “fake” president.

Even now, I am sick with the thought that Trump has the right to let his ego-sized portrait hang in the White House alongside legitimate presidents. Everything he has said or done, as the Republican candidate and now as the president, makes me regret I voted in 2016 as a registered Republican.

Since he became president, it has all been “Make Trump Great.” His attacks on the media, his refusal to acknowledge any Russian collusion, and so many more other unpresidential things make me want to see him impeached.

As an evangelical Christian, I don’t support my evangelical brethren’s giving their approval to the Trump presidency for any reason.

Trump’s party today seems to have forgotten the Republican role model of what a “real” president is suppose to act like. They have forgotten Abraham Lincoln.

My wife has always been a declared independent.

She sees Donald Trump as I do. So, being thoroughly disgusted with the GOP, I am considering changing my party to one that has fully separated itself from Donald Trump and his “fake” presidency.

The future of Parcel 5

This is Main Street. Why would you want to put a “dark box” on it? The theater proposal means that the location would be closed for nearly half the year when events aren’t occurring. We need something vibrant and active in that space. We don’t need another project to endlessly subsidize. This space is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in the heart of our city to change the dynamic.

Let’s not rush into something in the dark.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

The state of the union in the age of Trump Day after day, the bad news spills out: During last year’s presidential campaign, the Russians not only hacked into the Democrats’ e-mail system but also proposed a meeting with Donald Trump’s son, on at least the pretext that they had incriminating evidence about Hillary Clinton. A gleeful Donald Trump Jr. agreed to the meeting, and, for good measure, took along his brother-in-law and the Trump campaign chairman.

Republicans in Congress have responded fairly tepidly to signs of Russia’s meddling in our election, but they’re dead set on making it harder for Americans to vote.

Trump is alienating the leaders of foreign nations at a horrifying pace, and the damage he’s doing – to our reputation, to our history of international leadership, and to other nations’ trust in us – will last long after he’s gone.

Trump appointees and Republicans in Congress have their sights set on regulations that protect the environment and Americans’ health and safety.

Trump has walked away from an important international agreement on climate change, despite growing evidence that the world faces catastrophe if we don’t work together, quickly.

North Korea is testing missiles that could reach our shores, and our volatile, unpredictable president will determine our response.

Meantime, on Capitol Hill, Republicans continue to construct a war on the poor, the elderly, and the sick. The latest version of the Republicans’ health care bill – abandoned Monday night – would have let health-insurance companies charge the sick and the elderly far more than they would charge people with no health problems.

That version of the Republican health-care plan was so bad that the two big insurance trade associations, America’s Health Insurance Plans and BlueCross BlueShield Association, came out against it.

The plan was “simply unworkable in any form,” the two groups said in a letter to Senate leaders, “and would undermine protections for those with pre-existing medical conditions, increase premiums, and lead to widespread terminations of coverage for people currently enrolled in the individual market.”

The senior-citizen lobbying group AARP said the plan would “make a bad health bill worse” and warned that it would tell its 38 million members how every Senator voted.

And here was the banner on the American Medical Association’s website: “New Health Bill: Tell Senate to Put Patients Before Politics. Join AMA and urge senators to stop Medicaid cuts & ensure meaningful, affordable coverage.”

Trump Sr. and Jr. aren’t the only ones who seem to have lost the normal human instinct for kindness.”

None of that opposition mattered to most Republican senators, and the bill came close to passing. And with that plan dead, the Senate’s majority leader, Mitch McConnell, was urging his legislators to simply repeal Obamacare and come up with a replacement in a couple of years. That would get Republicans past the midterm elections, but it would throw millions off of health insurance, reinstate the atrocities of the old system, and throw the insurance industry into chaos.

This is just incomprehensible.

In his column late last week, the Times’ David Brooks traced some Trump family history and said that a “moral obliviousness” was bred into our current president and his namesake son. “It takes generations to hammer ethical considerations out of a person’s mind and to replace them entirely with the ruthless logic of winning and losing,” Brooks wrote, “to take the normal human yearning to be good and replace it with a single-minded desire for material conquest; to take the normal human instinct for kindness and replace it with a lawof-the-jungle mentality.”

Trump Sr. and Jr. aren’t the only ones who seem to have lost the normal human instinct for kindness, though. That loss is evident throughout the Republican Party.

So here we are. Conservatives’ grip on the Republican Party seems permanent.

Even if Donald Trump doesn’t fill out his term, Mike Pence will take his place. And Ruth Bader Ginsberg won’t live forever.

Good merciful heaven: how did we let this happen to this country? And how will we fix this mess? rochestercitynewspaper.com

Lima leads on power law

The Lima village board passed legislation that will allow the government to proceed with community choice aggregation. In those programs, governments buy electricity for their residents and businesses; the individual customers still pay for the power.

Lima’s legislation authorizes the village to enter a buying group with other local governments; it’s the first Rochester-area community to pass such a law. Brockport officials are considering similar legislation, and the Town of Geneva plans to hold an August 8 public hearing on its proposed law. The Rochester People’s Climate Coalition has been advocating for local governments to embrace community choice aggregation because they see it as a way to provide lots of people with renewable energy and to lower utility bills.

For Dems, a wealth of candidates

Ethics complaint is dismissed

The City of Rochester’s ethics board dismissed Democratic mayoral candidate Rachel Barnhart’s complaint against Mayor Lovely Warren, whom she’s challenging in the party’s September primary.

Barnhart’s complaint stemmed from an Uber job fair at City Hall.

She questioned whether it was appropriate for a business to use city property and whether there was a conflict of interest, since Warren’s former chief of staff, Jeremy Cooney, now works for a lobbying and public affairs firm that represents Uber.

Key offices in Rochester’s city government are on the ballot this fall.

PHOTO BY KEVIN FULLER

This year is a particularly significant election year for the City of Rochester, with the mayor’s office, more than half the seats on City Council, and three of the seven school board seats on the ballot.

This year is also significant because of the large number of candidates: three for mayor, 13 for City Council, five for school board. July 13 was the petitionfiling deadline for Democrats who want to run in the September 12 primary.

Challenges to the petitions can be filed until later this month, and by Monday challenges had been filed against almost every candidate. Challenges – which aren’t unusual – occasionally do result in petitions being ruled invalid.

It’s likely, though, that most of the candidates who filed will end up on the ballot. Here’s the list: For mayor: the incumbent, Lovely Warren; County Legislator (and former Rochester Police Chief) Jim Sheppard; and former television reporter Rachel Barnhart.

For the five City Council seats: The incumbents: Council President

Loretta Scott, who is completing her second Council term; Dana Miller, who is completing his third term; and Jackie Ortiz, who is completing her second term.

The non-incumbents: Rochester artist and activist Shawn Dunwoody; school board member Malik Evans; Mitch Gruber, chief program officer at Foodlink; PLEX resident Dorian Hall; 2008 County Clerk candidate Thomas Hasman; Rochester teacher Matt Juda; former County Legislator Willie J. Lightfoot; former special education teacher Ann Lewis; community activist Mary Lupien; and small business owner Marcus Williams.

For the three school board seats: incumbents Cynthia Elliott, who is completing her third term; and Van White, the board president, completing his third term; and non-incumbents Beatriz LeBron, a social worker; Cecelia Golden, a former Rochester school district administrator; Sabrina LaMar; and Natalie Sheppard, a care coordinator at Hillside.

Staff at the Smithsonian figured 20 to 30 percent of Madagascar samples collected by a Seneca Park Zoo Society-led team would be new to its database of species’ DNA, but about 90 percent were, says Pamela Reed Sanchez, the zoo society’s executive director.

CONSERVATION | BY JEREMY MOULE

Zoo’s finds may help protect forests Madagascar, the island country off the coast of Africa that many people associate with lemurs, is a hotbed of biodiversity.

According to the World Wildlife Fund, scientists discovered 615 new species there – including 41 mammals and 61 reptiles – between 1999 and 2010. WWF says 95 percent of the island’s reptiles, as well as 89 percent of its plants and 92 percent of its mammals, aren’t found anywhere else on the planet.

So when Seneca Park Zoo Society representatives set out with photographer David Liittschwager to take his One Cubic Foot project to Ranomafana National Park in Madagascar, the team expected to document a large number of species. For the project, Liittschwager places a onecubic-foot box in a promising spot and photographs all of the species that move through it in a day.

The team brought back 500-plus samples so that the species’ DNA could be “barcoded” for a Smithsonian database. The Smithsonian started the database to help scientists better identify and differentiate species, as well as to catalog DNA sequences of living things and serve as a record when species go extinct.

Staff at the Smithsonian figured that 20 to 30 percent of the Madagascar samples would be new to the database, but about 90 percent were, says Pamela Reed Sanchez, the zoo society’s executive director. And around 20 of the species they collected – mostly insects – may have been previously unknown to science, she says. Researchers are now working to sort that out.

“It’s going to be national and international news,” Reed Sanchez says. The Seneca Park Zoo Society is an independent educational, conservation, and advocacy group tied to the zoo, and it funded the project.

Mahandry Hugues Andrianarisoa, a conservation biology student pursuing his master’s degree from the University of Antananarivo in Madagascar’s capital, is in Rochester through the end of July to help prepare a report on the research for the Malagasy government. He was part of the team that did the fieldwork in Ranomafana National Park and recently traveled to the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., to work on DNA barcoding of the collected species He says the findings could become a valuable tool for conservationists taking on one of Madagascar’s biggest environmental problems: deforestation. The research helps

provide a more complete picture of what could be lost when Madagascar’s forests are destroyed, and it helps strengthen the case for protecting those areas, he says.

He’ll be able to take some of the skills he’s learned, he says, including DNA barcoding, back to Madagascar and use them to help protect the country’s forests.

For example, mining and manufacturing companies have to study the potential impact their projects will have on forests and provide environmental restoration plans, Andrianarisoa says. When there’s more documentation of the species that make up or rely on the forests, officials can make better decisions around those projects, he says.

Madagascar is not a wealthy country, and typically children leave school when they’re 10. Andrianarisoa is one of the exceptions: he pursued his studies with support from his parents, who are teachers in a small town, with the hope of making his country better.

Much of Madagascar’s deforestation results from families doing what they need to in order to live, Andrianarisoa says.

They clear land to grow food or to harvest trees for wood and charcoal. He wants to return to Madagascar to teach people

about the environment and help families find new ways of supporting themselves.

He sees education as key to protecting Madagascar’s biodiversity.

But all of that will take resources, and the funding just isn’t available in his home country. That means he needs to find partnerships, he says. The same holds true for reforestation efforts, which he also wants to work on.

“The situation is getting hard,” he says, “so we want to make sure it’s happening as quick as possible.”

EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Frustrated board wrestles with special ed Rochester school board member Malik Evans isn’t known for theatrics or public outbursts, but at a recent board meeting, Evans had enough.

Special education consultant Judy Elliott was bluntly describing a broken system. But she wasn’t more than 15 minutes into her presentation when Evans began fidgeting in his seat and interrupting her with questions.

“We continue to have the same issues over and over again,” Evans said in a telephone interview the day after the meeting. “How do we keep this from repeating itself?”

The district hired Elliott earlier this year to look at special education: how students with disabilities are identified and given the services they need and what results from those efforts.

The report was the latest of many – going back years –with similarly condemning findings.

Elliott’s report raised challenging questions for the school board. Why, for instance, have referrals for special education shot up by a whopping 93 percent during the last few years, while the district’s enrollment has declined? The large number of special education referrals is overwhelming the district’s ability to manage them, Elliott said.

And why does the district’s special education enrollment hover at nearly 20 percent, when the national average for large school districts is around 12 percent?

The district seems to be basing its decisions about special education on the race of the students, according to Elliott’s report. For instance, the vast majority of students classified as having autism are white, and most of the students classified as having learning disorders are Hispanic. Race should not be a predictor of the student’s disability, she said.

The majority of students referred for special education services under the “Other Health Impairment” classification are African American. That category is typically reserved for children with ongoing medical problems like kidney disease, Elliott said. And those children were also disproportionately suspended more than any others, supporting critics’ claims of institutional racism.

“So kids with health issues are getting suspended?” Elliott said.

Most troubling was the report’s broader point: the district’s problems with special education reflect its problems in general education. The district must improve the latter to see better outcomes in special education, Elliott said.

Board member Malik Evans said he wasn’t interested in hashing over Elliott’s statistics, and he rattled off a list of previous reports, all of them harshly critical of the 6 CITY

JULY 19 - 25, 2017

school district’s outcomes. The district has to be more focused on management, execution, and accountability, he said.

“I don’t know if it’s the data or the implementation,” he said the next day. “I just think we have to follow through and do the things that we say we’re going to do. A lot of what we heard last night, we’ve heard before. We could close our eyes and it could be the same things we heard in 2007. How many reports do we need?”

Board President Van White empathized

with Evans.

“I know exactly what he’s thinking,” White interjected during the board meeting.

Experts have been issuing reports and making recommendations for years to, as he termed it, turn over the applecart. The board has agreed to many of these recommendations, but the promised improvements usually don’t materialize, he said.

“Excuse me if I have some healthy skepticism,” White said.

In a telephone interview late last week, former Rochester superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard said he understands the board’s frustration.

“These issues are not new,” Brizard said.

The district has management problems, but it also has cultural issues that help to explain the

“over-classification of black and brown kids.”

Not all of these kids are disabled, he said.

“It’s not something that’s in the water,” Brizard said. “It’s something organic, but changing a culture is not easy.”

And former Rochester superintendent Manny Rivera stressed intervention, which he said must begin as early as possible with children living in poor communities – in the 0-3 age group.

“It really has to do with having your interventions right up front,” Rivera said last week. “Then when they need to go to a program or service, you are more likely to have success, because you’ve started early and you know exactly what the problems are.”

And if intervention starts early enough, the referrals for special education often aren’t needed, he said.

Elliott’s report makes a similar recommendation. For instance, intervening early enough with many of Rochester’s students – providing support for reading or English language skills, for instance – could eliminate the need for many special education referrals, she said.

But at the meeting, Elliott also stressed that the district needs to use data to help drive its decisions about intervention. She used the example of students who arrive from Puerto

Rico. Without immediate help with language, learning disorders are fairly predictable, she said.

Some changes are already underway, said Sandy Simpson, the district’s chief of special education. In the past, professionals such as social workers or special education teachers in the schools made the recommendations about referrals. But it’s hard for them to know everything the district can offer, Simpson said, so now a centralized team of experts will review all program referrals and existing placements for every student.

And the report showed that in the past, the district has been overly reliant on referring students to outside agencies, when similar services were available in the district, Simpson said.

“We need to bring the students home,” she said. More stability and less disruption are important for special education students, she said.

Still, that may not be enough for board member Evans. He said he wasn’t upset with Elliott for doing her job. “She put it out there,” he said, but the district needs to start making substantial progress. Maybe, he said, the board and the district need more independent oversight themselves, to keep everyone focused and on track.

“I think we need to partner with a third party to review everything, someone or some entity that is an objective party,” Evans said.

Dining & Nightlife

Trey Yager, owner of Seven Seas Tavern, says his restaurant will focus on seafood, with much of the food sourced from Boston and Florida.

A coastal tavern [ CHOW HOUND ] BY KATIE LIBBY

Trey Yager, owner and executive chef at the new Seven Seas Tavern (58 University Avenue), grew up on the coast of Florida and made his mark there in the restaurant and seafood industry. “I’ve made my whole career in seafood,” he says.

Yager relocated to Rochester, and opened Havana Cabana five years ago, which he still oversees. He saw a gap in the Rochester food scene for a seafood-forward restaurant and the idea for Seven Seas Tavern was born. The restaurant officially opened in late June.

The restaurant occupies the former space of Tavern 58 at Gibbs, which closed abruptly this year. Yager has renovated the interior, adding a fireplace and a fish tank (and I asked: no, you don’t get to pick your dinner from the fish tank), and extended the front bar. The bar will have six draft lines and feature an old-fashioned cocktail selection, think Sidecars and Manhattans.

Seafood is the focus of the menu, with much of it sourced from the Boston area and Florida. Yager says he is using his connections as a former seafood distributor to find the freshest products available. You’ll find standard seafood

fare, like grilled tuna and lobster, on the menu, but also unique dishes such as a pesto swordfish ($28), which is a grilled swordfish steak topped with basil pesto and served with jasmine rice and sautéed spinach. The Tavern Seafood Nachos ($19) are topped with langostinos, baby shrimp, crab meat, salsa, jalapenos, onions, and cheese.

Those looking for an alternative to seafood will find a roast half duck ($25) served with a crispy skin, orange horseradish marmalade, and mashed potatoes and asparagus on the side.

Vegetarians won’t have a ton to choose from on the menu, but Yager says he is willing to accommodate both vegetarian and gluten-free requests.

The restaurant has two patios available for outdoor seating and a large parking lot behind the building. Yager will offers halfpriced drinks for happy hour, hoping to draw in those thirsty teachers leaving the school right down the street.

Seven Seas Tavern is located at 58 University Avenue, and is open Tuesday through Thursday from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 3 p.m. to 12 a.m., and Sunday from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. 491-7552; sevenseastavern.com.

Connections with Evan Dawson debuted a new series, Summer of Food, at the beginning of July. The series airs at 1 p.m. every Thursday through August 31, and will focus on topics ranging from food waste to what’s new in the Rochester and Finger Lakes’ culinary scene. You can listen to Connections on WXXI AM 1370, WRUR FM 88.5, WEOS FM 89.5 (Geneva), and online at WXXINews.org.

Joe Bean’s (1344 University Avenue) family-style, communal meal series continues on Saturday, July 22, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., with a Saturday Family Meal Picnic. On the menu will be Cubanstyle pulled pork sandwiches, Elote-style roasted corn with mayo, lime, and paprika, coleslaw, and Eat Me ice cream.

If you’re like me, you’ve dreamt of the opportunity of getting down on some Eggs Benedict while listening to the sweet sounds of Christopher Cross’s “Arthur’s Theme.” ButaPub (315 Gregory Street) is making those dreams come true on Saturday, July 22, and Sunday, July 23, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., with Yacht Rock Brunch. DJ Ben Frazier (Saturday) and DJ L. Cat (Sunday) will kiss your ears with

The Trump Administration’s 2018 federal budget proposal cuts arts funding. How would that affect Rochester’s scene?

[ ART FEATURE ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Donald Trump’s 2018 fiscal budget proposal for the federal government, which was announced in May, notably aims to slash funding for Medicaid, the EPA, food stamp programs, scientific research, and cultural agencies. Of the 66 programs up to be eliminated or cut, the ones that allocate funding for arts and culture are the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the National Endowment for the Arts.

The funds that each agency will ultimately get for federal programs will be decided by members of the House and Senate appropriations committees. While it isn’t certain that federal support for the arts is doomed, all of the discussion surrounding saving federal arts and cultural agencies has provided the opportunity to examine how Rochester’s arts scene is funded.

It’s important to note how little the US invests in the arts to begin with when compared to other developed nations. In 2017, the NEA received just $150 million from the total federal budget of $4.147 trillion. And a 2014 article from Alternet cites the National Arts Index and other sources to show that in arts spending the US falls behind many other nations, including Germany, which dedicated $1.63 billion (in USD) to its cultural budget in 2013. Ireland, France, Sweden, Australia, Finland, England, Uzbekistan, Mexico, and The Balkans also dedicate more substantial support to the arts than the US does.

The NEA’s own report, “How the United States Funds the Arts,” shows that of the revenue sources for not-for-profit performing arts groups and museums, nationwide, only 1.2 percent came from federal funds. Larger sources of revenue come from state and local funding, foundations, endowments and interest, and corporate funding. But the largest percentages of income are sourced from individual supporters (20.3 percent) and earned income (40.7 percent).

It’s also worth mentioning that a city’s arts scene is made up of more than just museums, 10 CITY JULY 19 - 25, 2017

institutions, and well-established arts groups.

Individual artists in America are largely on their own, with few supported by federal, state, or local funds. Instead, they must count on individual patrons who purchase their work or go to their gigs. Meanwhile, Sweden uses public money to support institutions as well as punk rock and indie bands, and Uzbekistan notably funds projects by young creatives and pays the salaries of professional artists.

When it comes to Rochester’s cultural sector, the loss of federal funding would have a varied impact. There is a trickle-down effect to consider: about 40 percent of the NEA’s funds annually goes to support state and regional arts agencies nationwide. In 2016 this included $750,000 awarded to the New York State Council on the Arts, which that year awarded more than $41 million to arts and cultural institutions statewide. NYSCA this year awarded $1.1 million to arts and cultural institutions in Monroe County alone and more than $40 million statewide.

Because federal funds are scant and acquiring them is competitive, they aren’t a significant direct source of funding for Rochester’s art scene. But some institutions do rely on NEA grants for support of specific projects.

In December 2016, the George Eastman

Museum received a $20,000 grant from the NEA, which will support preservation of two 35mm nitrate films from the 1910’s: “The Rich and the Poor” (1911) and “The Inevitable Retribution” (1915).

Pegasus Early Music in June announced it was awarded a $10,000 Art Works Opera Program grant from the NEA in support of its upcoming baroque opera production, “Dido and Aeneas.”

“This was somewhat of a surprise for us,” says Deborah Fox, Pegasus Early Music artistic director. “I had heard that first time applicants are almost never awarded grants, so I applied without any expectations.”

Pegasus was founded in 2005, and the grant is its first federal support. The grant covers just about 6 percent of the $175,000

opera budget. “Nevertheless, it is still a significant amount of money, which will go towards production costs and artist fees,” she says. “I am thrilled, excited, and grateful to have it, and proud to be recognized by the NEA; it feels like a validation and recognition on a national level of what we do.”

Fox says that Pegasus was encouraged to apply to the NEA again in the next cycle, which hints that the agency thinks it will be sticking around.

Chris Garland, Memorial Art Gallery assistant director of advancement, says that federal agencies don’t really provide operating support anymore. Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and his crew killed that about 20 years ago, she says, but the federal government remains a source of funding for special projects. Garland says that the MAG has been supported by federal grants recently for collection management projects.

The Memorial Art Gallery in 2009 received federal funding through the Institute of Museum and Library Services in support of the renovation and improvement of its fiber and tapestry storage facilities. The funds also supported the restoration of some of the MAG collection’s tapestries.

MAG Director Jonathan Binstock says that in-house organized shows, rather than rented exhibitions, are the kinds eligible for federal grants. “They represent new work; they represent an effort to generate knowledge about art and culture and society,” he says. “Organizations that do original work such as this — research and so forth — have access to the kinds of grants that support research and original work.”

The last MAG exhibition to receive federal support was its George Bellows show in 2002, which the museum organized and travelled.

“We’ve received some support in the meantime for significant reinstallations of our permanent collection, but not for special exhibitions,” Garland says.

If the NEA survives, the MAG could see more federal support for shows; Binstock has committed the institution to organizing more in-house shows — like its recent Meleko Mokgosi exhibit. The timing of the proposed

budget cuts isn’t great for the MAG, he says, “because a lot of our programming is now geared toward being able to apply for those grants. And if it all comes to pass and there’s fewer grant dollars for us to apply for, then we’ll have to find other ways to pay for the programs that we’re organizing.”

A further complication, Garland says, is that the federal grants MAG applies for require a one-to-one match, “so they’re very important in leveraging local support and support from the institution itself. They also serve as a stamp of approval — that what you’re doing is good.

It’s very prestigious to win. They focus on your scholarship and service to your community, they’re peer-reviewed, so they’re really important things to get.”

While other cities of comparable size rely on corporate support of the arts, Garland says that Rochester can’t count on the same.

Corporate funding in Rochester has taken a real hit. The MAG “used to get $55,000 a year from Kodak, unrestricted, and it was even higher than that, I think, way back when,” she says. “Gleason used to give us $30,000 a year. Bausch and Lomb, Xerox — all of those big funders were good for five-figure gifts, unrestricted, every year, and then some of them would also do exhibition support for us.

And that’s really pretty much dried up.”

Binstock says that support from banks, such as M&T and KeyBank, has started to fill in the gaps, but hasn’t reached the levels of arts support that Rochester enjoyed under its now-diminished industry titans. It has fallen to — and will continue to fall to — individuals to pick up that slack, he says.

The Memorial Art Gallery’s 2015-16 fiscal year revenue chart shows that only 2 percent of its funding came from government sources; 8 percent came from the UR, 31 percent from endowments, 26 percent from memberships and gifts, and 33 percent from earned income.

“Our credit lines are almost all individuals now, or foundations that are controlled by individuals,” Garland says. continues on page 12

Individual support for the arts remains crucial

nationwide. A Giving USA report estimates that annual private charitable donations to arts, culture, and humanities causes totaled $17 billion in 2015. This number dwarfs the federal millions allocated for the same sectors, and some who are opposed to federal support of the arts argue that the relatively small federal contribution is unnecessary.

A local example: in December 2016, Edgar Smith and Lusette “Andy” Smith, University of Rochester 1972 graduates, committed $5 million to establish the Ed and Andy Smith Endowed Funds for the Performing Arts.

The money will support performing arts programming within the UR’s School of Arts and Sciences, and also provide seed funding for the proposed construction of a new studio theater on the River Campus.

“There’s precious little that’s been funded at the Flower City Arts Center through federal funding,” says Janice Gouldthorpe, the center’s director. “The things that we’ve been able to fund are largely programmatic.

Our youth photography program is the only thing we’ve had federal funding for in the past. We’ve gotten no general operating support, no capital support, no support for any other programs.”

In the 18 years that the youth photography program has been running, it has received federal support four times. “We have probably spent well over $360,000 to produce that program,” Gouldthorpe says. “Federal funds in that time have been maybe $40,000.”

12 CITY JULY 19 - 25, 2017

So if the federal cuts go through, Gouldthorpe doesn’t anticipate much change for Flower City.

“We would be looking to individual supporters, family foundations, and some national foundations,” she says. “The ability to position Rochester and this center as a resource regionally and nationally, allows us to tap into funding from outside of this area.

And bringing in those outside dollars will allow us to keep operating the program.

“That’s the trajectory we’re on anyway, we don’t count on federal funding, ever.

The competition is so high and the dollars are so meager.”

Nevertheless, Gouldthorpe says supporters of the arts should get in touch with their representatives.

“People think, ‘Oh, but I’m just one person,’ but you would be shocked at how much a single person writing an eloquent letter about the importance of the arts can do,” she says. “Congress people and senators often don’t take time to do general research on what the demand, impact, and benefit of the arts is, so your anecdotal information to them is key.”

As federal funds are already so skimpy, Gouldthorpe says that arts organizations and artists rely heavily on the support of individuals. Many arts projects are finding funds through crowdsourcing, including on platforms like Indiegogo and Kickstarter, and now those methods far outstrip federal funding.

And it’s not just the arts. Gouldthrope says that anyone working for a nonprofit will

tell you the majority of the funding comes from individual donors.

“Your $20 donation, when you add that up across the spectrum of the millions of people in the United States, that money far outstrips what our federal government is doing,” she says. “Or what foundational giving or corporate giving is. People might think, ‘I’m only one person,’ but that aspect of the funding stream is critical and substantial.”

The MAG is increasingly looking to

individuals beyond Rochester to support case-by-case programming, Binstock says.

Part of his role as director is building these relationships and generating support and enthusiasm around specific projects.

“They do this because they’re interested in the particular subject or the artist that we’re showing,” he says. “Wendell Castle has collectors in New York City and D.C., for instance, who have helped us pay for our Wendell Castle show that’s coming up.”

Because the MAG is an encyclopedic museum with a broad purview, it can think strategically about the intended audience for a given exhibition. “Whether it’s an audience of visitors or an audience of funders, is really the game now and the game going forward,” Binstock says.

Museums are also becoming more retail-oriented in how they approach their programming. Beyond just charging admission to see the collections or special exhibitions, they are generating additional income by hosting more and more one-off

events — especially ones that appeal to younger visitors who don’t become members at the rate other generations have.

Several other local arts and cultural institutions have taken up a trend of offering 21-and-older events to supplement their funds. Rochester Contemporary Art Center’s “Art of the Mix” series are exclusive cocktail parties featuring mixologists from local, upscale eateries. The Strong’s “The Happiest Hour” features adult beverages, a dance party, and the run of the museum sans children. And the Rochester Museum and Science Center’s themed “RMSC After Dark” programs similarly let adults explore the museum and socialize without competing with kids.

In the past year, the MAG has hosted several, often holiday-themed events and series, including “Museum of the Dead,” “Cocktails with Creatives,” and “Valentine Schmalentine.”

“You have to constantly give folks a reason to visit,” Binstock says. “It’s not just about raising money, it’s about creating programs that are sale-able and then expecting people to buy them. The intensity of the need to do that is what’s changing, and the less funding there is, the more we have to think of ourselves as a retail operation.”

Less funding changes the playing field, because it forces cultural institutions to compete with commercial and for-profit institutions for those luxury, recreational dollars, Binstock says.

“But we’re not competing with Geva or the Eastman Museum or The Strong or the RPO,” he says. “We’re competing with Radio

And, “the mall,” he dryly adds.

When there’s less funding for the arts, for scholarship, for unique experiences that are unlike any other in the cultural-commercial landscape, Binstock says, “we have to find other ways to compete for the dollars that visitors have in their pockets to spend. The trick is to remain true to your mission while wrestling with Netflix, the mall, or bowling, because we’re not about to put a bowling alley in the gallery. We’re here for the art.”

There’s another crucial task individuals can

take up, Gouldthrope says.

“On the local level, people can work with local government and legislative groups to put together structures to support the arts here,” she says, “whether it’s at the Monroe County level, or at the City of Rochester level.”

Both the county and city say that they support the arts, but Gouldthorpe believes there has been little action to back that up.

“Mayor Lovely Warren has been known to proclaim that Rochester is ‘The city of the arts,’” she says, “but there is no structure in the government that really coalesces that into a strategic framework.”

Gouldthorpe sees the need for a funding framework that allows the city to work with other outside entities, whether they be foundational or corporate resources.

There’s been talk in the past, she says, but nothing has been implemented to the

city governmental structure that makes that into a reality. It’s the same in the county government, she says.

“It matters who is elected to office, and they need to know that there is a portion of the citizens of Rochester and Monroe County to whom art matters,” she says.

“That needs to be a priority just as does public security and safety, the roads, health, and anything else that happens.”

Gouldthorpe proposes the creation of a cultural executive at the city or the county level, as well as “a department whose function would be to advocate for, administer, and help coalesce resources.”

This department would work to get national organizations to invest in this region. “What’s currently happening here in Rochester is, more or less, every organization for themselves,” she says.

It can be noted that in some cities and regions, nonprofit arts councils fulfill some of the responsibilities Gouldthorpe is advocating for. The Arts & Cultural Council for Greater Rochester was founded in 1980, and has served as an umbrella organization that advocates for the arts across 10 counties.

It also functioned as a conduit for state and private grants to reach regional artists and small cultural organizations. But the council slipped into financial crisis in 2014 and lost its role as conduit for 2016. It will offer grants opportunities again later this year.

Gouldthorpe cites cities with United Arts Funds (UAFs) — localized arts agencies dedicated to raising money from regional

individuals, businesses, and foundations to regrant to local arts institutions — as success stories. Some exemplary cases, include ArtsFund in Seattle (with more than $4 million in campaign revenue for 2015), ArtsWave in Cincinnati (more than $12 million), and Fund for the Arts in Louisville (more than $8 million).

“How did that happen? Over the course of many years,” Gouldthorpe says, “but it also happened because they decided to put in place a structure that funds the arts in a more broad sense rather than having arts organizations jockey for position for themselves individually.

Cities and communities that have invested that amount of resource to setting themselves up to have a thriving arts sector — that’s very forward thinking. Hope is not a plan. A plan is a plan.”

A cultural executive and an arts-forward focus could serve not only established institutions, but also individual artists — few of whom receive grants or support, despite being the bones and blood of the scene.

It’s important for a city that bills itself as an arts hub to have structure and support for growing artists in the city, not just performing arts or exhibitions, but as a space that supports its working artists.

“Until this community really makes strides in that area, it’s going to be difficult to really put us on the map,” Gouldthorpe says.

“Despite what people say. And just taking credit for what’s happening here doesn’t mean that what’s happening now is going to continue to happen in the future.”

Larry Campbell & Teresa Williams. The Penthouse at One

It may be an unfair musical prejudice, but a lot of people hearing a jazz band think of the bassist as functional, as opposed to the pianist, saxophonist, or trumpeter, who usually take the spotlight. But bassist Anne Mette Iversen is far more than functional as evidenced by her wonderful new CD, “Round Trip.” She composed every tune on the record and every one is a gem.

Iversen also has excellent taste in musicians.

Her group — with John Ellis, saxophone; Peter Dahlgren, trombone; Danny Grissett, piano; and Otis Brown III, drums — is first rate.

Iversen, who now lives in Berlin, views the album’s title, “Round Trip,” as more than returning home after a journey. It’s also an apt metaphor for a musical excursion of 15 years with the same musicians. Judging by the upbeat and effervescent mood of the title track, it’s been a highly positive journey. The album is full of great solos by Ellis, Dahlgren, and Grissett, and Iversen is, for the most part, in the background. But it’s her superb compositions and arrangements (especially “Viinstedt’s View”) that take the spotlight on this album. — BY RON NETSKY

David Feldman “Horizonte” Self-released davidfeldmanmusic.com

He may have an American sounding name, but pianist David Feldman was born in Rio de Janeiro and is a vital member of the current Brazilian music scene. “Horizonte,” his third album as a leader, is a wonderful excursion into this great musical culture.

Feldman is joined here by members of his trio — André Vasconcellos on bass and Marcio Bahia, drums — and special guests Toninho Horta, guitar and vocals, and Raul de Souza, trombone. The album leaves no doubt about Feldman’s piano skills, but it also showcases his work as a composer.

The two guests join the group for Horta’s tune, “Soccer Ball,” which features Horta’s wordless vocals.

Horta, who also sings on Feldman’s “Teté,” has one of those beautiful Brazilian voices reminiscent of Gilberto Gil. Although Feldman takes the most solo flights on piano, he leaves plenty of room to highlight the great work of his bandmates.

Vasconcellos plays an evocative solo on “Melancolia,” and Bahia is featured on “Chora Tua Tristeza.” If you are not yet into the Brazilian wing of jazz, “Horizonte,” an excellent album from start to finish, is a great place to start.

Music / MUSIC work, let’s try it out and see.” And teachers throughout high school worked with me as I progressed. And I’ve been playing ever since, and I started performing 10 years ago.

When did you begin incorporating the looping pedal into your approach?

In 2011, I began playing with Alan Sparhawk from the band Low. He kind of introduced me to the looping pedal. He would control the pedal and I would play harmonies to what I was hearing. Then one day, he came over and gave me a pedal and said, “I think you should learn how to use it, then someday you can play shows by yourself,” which seemed like a ridiculous idea at the time. But he was right, and it became a big part of my music later on.

How important is improvisation to your overall sound?

I’ve always been somewhat of an improv performer. In school, I was classical. But in college, I started getting into improv. You feel your flow, and I like that. The looping pedal is good for that.

Before she was born, Gaelynn Lea had already suffered more than 40 bone beaks in utero.

This Duluth, Minnesota, musician was diagnosed with a congenital disability called Osteogenesis Imperfecta, or Brittle Bones Disease. With a life confined to a wheelchair and permanently bent arms, it didn’t look like Lea would be able to do much — until she heard the violin.

A supportive teacher and a set of encouraging parents shouldered the challenge with her. She created an approach that she could handle, playing the violin like a cello.

This is the ingenuity you see first. What you hear first is her voice. With its light vibrato and gentle phrasing, all harmonized and built up with a looping pedal, it’ll stop you dead in your tracks.

In 2016, Lea beat out 6,100 other musicians to win NPR’s second annual

“Tiny Desk Contest” which added to her prominence. She travels the country with her husband, playing solo and as a member of the duo Murder of Crows, a minimalistic yet deeply ethereal outfit that puts together dreams of flight. When she’s not playing, Lea serves as an advocate for people with disabilities.

CITY gave this exceedingly charming and chipper lady a call to discuss it all. An edited transcript follows.

CITY: Musically, what first inspired you?

Gaelynn Lea: In the very beginning, it

was the sound of the violin. I really love harmonies, and when I started performing in 2006, I would think of my violin as a second voice and used it as a harmony. Harmonies like Simon & Garfunkel, The Decemberists, Neutral Milk Hotel inspired me.

I started playing violin when I was 10 years old. An orchestra came to my school and I really liked the sound of it, so I figured the next year I would try out for orchestra.

And lucky for me the teacher who was in charge of the program didn’t try to dissuade me. I play very differently because I’m very small because of my disability. Instead of her saying, “This won’t work, you should try choir,” she said, “I don’t know for sure if it’ll

How do you keep the improv from getting out of hand?

That’s a good question. I think you have to remember that space in music is as important as sound. When I first started playing, I’d play a lot more notes. Low is known for being very sparse. I’m not like that, but I do remember that you have to build it up gradually or it gets too cluttered.

What comes first: the melody or the lyrics?

Actually they come at the same time … at least some of the lyrics. I hear the first line of any song I write with the melody attached. But then I have to finish the lyric in the structure of the melody. I think only once or twice I ever heard the entire lyric all at once.

Your disability notwithstanding, what do you struggle with?

Musically rhythm is my weakest link. And with a looping pedal you have to be precise.

I’m working on it. It’s still not my strong suit.

What comes easy to you?

What comes easy to me is harmony. I’m recording a new album and sat down and did all the harmonies and my bandmates said, “That’s not normal, how do you hear those?” I just do.

AMERICANA | SWAMP RATS

One genre couldn’t even begin to describe Florida-based trio Swamp Rats. The style contains bits of modern train-hopping punk yet is heavily influenced by traditional bluegrass with folk underpinnings — uniquely blended with metal riffs and mucky Southern blues. Each musician plays multiple instruments, so you’ll hear specks of acoustic guitar, banjo, mandolin, stomp box, washboard, and despondent lyrics of life experience and the road.

Swamp Rats performs Thursday, July 20, at Abilene Bar and Lounge, 153 Liberty Pole Way. 8:30 p.m. $5. abilenebarandlounge.com; swampratsmusic.blogspot.com.

Theater

WallByrd Theatre is producing a gritty, dystopian, “Mad Max” inspired version of “Macbeth” at the Lyric Theatre. The production continues through Saturday, July 29. PHOTO BY ANNETTE DRAGON

Something wild this way comes “Macbeth” REVIEWED SATURDAY, JULY 15 CONTINUES WEDNESDAY, JULY 19, THROUGH SUNDAY, JULY 23 AND WEDNESDAY, JULY 26, THROUGH SATURDAY, JULY 29 LYRIC THEATRE, 440 EAST AVENUE 8 P.M. EACH NIGHT | $20 GENERAL; PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN (AT THE DOOR ONLY) WALLBYRD.COM [ REVIEW ] BY LEAH STACY

It takes all of five minutes for a fight to break out. As the lights dim in the grand Lyric Theatre, a bass-driven rock song blares and cast members in dystopian military garb rush the stage. A battle ensues, and only the strong survive.

Such a violent beginning for WallByrd’s latest show, “Macbeth,” establishes two things right away. First, someone at WallByrd (likely, Artistic

Director Virginia Monte) understands the same thing a good journalist knows: “if it bleeds, it leads”; and second, this isn’t your average Shakespeare. This is Shakespeare for the next generation.

Most audience members will be familiar with the plot of Macbeth, whether they read it in high school or watched the “Wishbone” version on PBS at some point. The tragic tale follows power-hungry Macbeth, a Scottish general, and his equally ambitious wife, Lady Macbeth. After a trio of witches foretells Macbeth’s future as King of Scotland, he and the lady decide to hasten the prophecy by removing the king. Civil War quickly ensues under Macbeth’s tyranny, and forces of darkness overtake the kingdom.

Because Shakespeare’s work is in the public domain, many theater companies take the opportunity to update or adapt the work to a different era or concept.

(A recent example is the Public Theater’s

much-debated Shakespeare in the Park production of “Julius Caesar,” which depicted a modern-day Rome and a Caesar much like President Trump.) WallByrd’s version of “Macbeth” is post-apocalyptic, inspired by the 1979 and 2015 “Mad Max” films in both aesthetic and tone.

In other words, Shakespearean purists beware: this isn’t The Bard’s 17th century world. It’s WallByrd’s world now, and it asks the audience to suspend disbelief; to coexist with giant puppets and gender-blind casting. For those who are willing to do so, the reward is a show unlike anything else currently onstage.

Like most of WallByrd’s (and Shakespeare’s) shows, “Macbeth” is a lengthy run — two hours and 45 minutes, including a 15-minute intermission — but the show keeps a consistent pace. The cast features more than 25 people, ranging in age, and many of the cast members fill multiple ensemble roles. The lead roles are packed

with talent, a necessity whenever Shakespeare is performed. In this adaptation, the actors had the challenge of the language, the fight choreography (directed by professional Alec Barbour), characterization, and the set (which many in the cast had to climb and jump from throughout the show).

Andy Head (as Macbeth) and Megan Barbour (Lady Macbeth), both highly trained actors, deliver outstanding performances and embody the iconic characters with a chemistry and energy that is captivating throughout the show. In the role of Banquo, recent Nazareth College graduate Ged Owen possesses a quiet intensity and stage presence beyond his years of experience. Jonathan Lowery, who plays Lennox, steals the show during battle scenes with his fluid, expert movement (no surprise, considering he’s a member of PUSH Physical Theatre). Lauren MacDonough (Menteith) elicits chills with a short, eerily beautiful a cappella song. The entire cast, overall, remains impressively in character and focused throughout the performance — a rare feat for a non-professional troupe.

According to its fundraising page on Fractured Atlas (a nonprofit crowdfunding platform for artists), WallByrd’s budget for the show was projected around $30,000.

That’s easy to believe, based on a set featuring extensive scaffolding rentals that provide multiple levels onstage; advanced lighting equipment; and extensive sound design that incorporates mics for the actors and a full soundtrack.

The stage resembles a fallout shelter, while the costumes and makeup reflect aspects of military grunge, desert wear, and war paint. Monte also created several large puppets — really, a more gruesome term would be fitting for these beings — that add delightfully horrifying special effects to the show.

Live, local theater competes with multimillion-dollar film budgets, plot-heavy video games, and that supercomputer in everyone’s pocket.

For the next generation of theatergoers — one that values experiences over material possessions — immersive, sensory theater is a strategic move, and creating more of it will only advance Rochester’s theater scene.

COMEDY | JOHN HENTON John Henton was a computer science student by night, and spent his days working. He didn’t entertain the idea of becoming a comedian until 1982, when his coworker suggested he try some of his jokes at a local comedy club in Ohio. He won the amateur night contest on his second night there, and within six years, became a full-time standup comedian in Los Angeles. Henton was also a long-time actor on “Living Single” and “The Hughleys.” The comedian will be performing with Talent Harris as part of “Talent’s Comedy Takeover.” Harris, a Rochester native, is known for co-writing and starring in the video “Brotherly Love” and movies “Sunset Park” and “With or Without You.” He also hosted Showtime’s “White Boyz in the Hood.”

Henton will perform five shows at The It’s Just Comedy Club (2235 Empire Boulevard, Webster). Thursday, July 20, at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, July 21, and Saturday, July 22, at 7:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. Advance tickets are $20 to $30, depending on the seats and day.

Muralism as activism WALL\THERAPY 2017 FRIDAY, JULY 21, THROUGH SUNDAY, JULY 30 WALL-THERAPY.ORG

{ PREVIEW } BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Rochester’s mural festival, WALL\ THERAPY, returns Friday, July 21, through Sunday, July 30, presenting a theme of arts, activism, and community.

The festival has been held each July since 2011, except for 2016 when the organization participated in an artist exchange with a Berlin-based arts group.

The organizers originally had “storytelling” as a loose theme for this year, “but then the election happened, and suddenly it didn’t sit right,” says Erich Lehman, WALL\THERAPY lead organizer and co-curator. “It was like, we can’t just be fluffy.”

Lehman says the new activism theme was also inspired by the fact that WALL\ THERAPY was named “Best Group or

Person Improving the Community” in CITY Newspaper’s 2015 and 2016 Best of Rochester readers’ poll.

The organization, which has installed more than 100 murals in Rochester over the last six years, is interested in strengthening its engagement with Rochester’s communities, Lehman says. This year’s festival will include free programming intended to connect Rochester residents of all ages and all walks of life. In addition to the 10-day festival, the group is launching a conference focused on arts and activism on July 29, followed by a Block Party, with music

by Danielle Ponder and the Tomorrow People, at the new multi-use Kaleidoscope Collective Community Center.

The 2017 roster will feature 10 artists from a wide range of backgrounds, including six Rochesterians and four muralists from around the nation.

There are a handful of previous participants whose subject matter would

have fit this year’s theme perfectly, Lehman says. “But we wanted to reach out to folks who wouldn’t necessarily get an invite to a big mural festival. We felt their voices deserved a chance on a bigger stage, and that their particular voices might be challenged in the current political environment.”

The participants are using the arts to address things they feel need to be dealt with in their own communities and around the world. “The issues range from women’s issues, to the refugee crisis, to immigration, to community,” Lehman says.

The 2017 lineup includes Ian Kuali’i (Berkeley, California), whose mixed-media work is influenced by his ancestral ties to the indigenous people of the Southwest US and Hawai’i; Sean 9 Lugo (Jersey City, New Jersey), whose wheatpaste art considers the duality of Latin and American culture and complexities of perception; Lucinda Yrene, known as La Morena (Phoenix, Arizona), a Chicana self-taught muralist,

artist, and curator who helps facilitate mural projects in Phoenix with immigrant rights organizations; and Jess X. Snow (Brooklyn), an Asian-American artist, filmmaker, and poet whose work tackles queer liberation, migration, sexuality, and motherhood.

Rochester-based artists include Aubrey Roemer, whose work has taken her all over the world and is rooted in environmental initiatives and refugee relief; Todd Stahl, a high school art teacher and mixed-media painter whose work often spotlights social justice heroes; and Sarah C. Rutherford, who is currently entrenched in her muralseries, “Her Voice Carries.” Rutherford’s mural for WALL\THERAPY will be one of the murals in this series.

The other three local artists are teens who are members of Roc Paint Division, an organization that since 2015 has been adorning the city’s R-Centers with inspiring murals while employing and training young, developing artists.

Roc Paint Division artists Nzinga Muhammad, Etana Browne, and KaoriMei Stephens were selected to create a mural together for this year’s festival.

WALL\THERAPY is supported through crowd-sourced funding campaigns and a dedicated group of volunteers. But on the eve of the festival, the fundraising endeavor hasn’t hit its goal. There’s still time to support it, Lehman says. Those interested in volunteering can email Julie@walltherapy.com or click the “donate/ volunteer” link at wall-therapy.org.

The festival’s inaugural conference, “Arts & Activism,” will take place on Saturday, July 29, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Little Theatre (240 East Avenue). The keynote speaker will be Jessica Pabón-Colón, assistant professor of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at SUNY New Paltz. A complete schedule for the free event will be released soon. Later that evening, from 6:30 p.m. to 11 p.m., the block party will also feature an open air artist market, food trucks, beverage service, and live art at the new Kaleidoscope Collective Community Center (936 Exchange Street).

CITY will have coverage of WALL\ THERAPY throughout the festival, including images, interviews, and blogs.

THEATER | ‘BRING IT ON, THE MUSICAL’ Part of the JCC SummerStage, casting high school and college students, “Bring It On, The Musical” is loosely based on the original movie released by Universal Pictures. From the composers of “Hamilton” and “Next to Normal,” with music by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Tom Kitt, and Amanda Green, the musical takes you through the life of Campbell, a senior in high school who dreamed of becoming captain of her school’s cheerleading team. She gets the position, but her dream is quickly crushed when she’s forced to transfer schools due to redistricting.

“War for the Planet of the Apes” (PG-13), DIRECTED BY MATT REEVES NOW PLAYING

It seems appropriate that I heard news of director George Romero’s passing while leaving a showing of “War for the Planet of the Apes.” Romero was a master at using genre filmmaking as a lens through which to explore social issues like civil rights, consumerism, militarism, and xenophobia. The messages in Romero’s films were rarely subtle, but they were always effective. Twentieth Century Fox’s new series of “Planet of the Apes” films is one of the current popular franchises to carry on that legacy, weaving timely political subtext into a story that warns against human arrogance and fear. And the latest installment mostly does the visionary director proud, even if it does end up stumbling slightly while crossing the finish line.

“War for the Planet of the Apes” is the final chapter in a trilogy of films centering around Caesar — once again portrayed by Andy Serkis through endlessly impressive motion capture technology — the reluctant leader of the ape rebellion. The previous two films detailed how that uprising took root after a “Simian Flu” virus wiped out large parts of the human population while bestowing apes with heightened intelligence. The film begins with the last vestiges of humanity still engaged in combat against the apes, though despite the “War” title, the film takes place mostly in the aftermath of that struggle.

Following an excellent opening battle sequence, the rest of the narrative takes the form of a straightforward revenge tale, after an act of mercy from Caesar results in tragedy for his clan. The ape leader abandons his command to seek vengeance against The Colonel (Woody Harrelson channeling Brando’s “Apocalypse Now” character), whom he believes responsible.

Having long since established which side of the quarrel are the true savages, “War” manages to succeed in making its audience root against its own species, but does so by sacrificing some of the moral complexity of the previous films. Without villainous apes and decent humans to balance out the conflict, things are more black-and-white this time, and there’s nothing as compelling as the previous installment’s exploration into the inherent dangers of tribalism and cycles of violence.

You can feel the mechanics of the film grinding along as director Matt Reeves (who also helmed the superior “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes”) works to provide an emotionally satisfying conclusion to

Caesar’s story, while also delivering a serious reflection on our troubled times. Not for nothing does the plot boil down to a conflict brought on by a unstable, megalomaniacal leader obsessed with building an enormous, likely useless border wall.

Taking place in the same universe as the earlier “Planet of the Apes” films, we know how this will all shake out and there’s a sense of inevitability that robs the film of some of its dramatic stakes. The film is unrelentingly bleak, with the only source of levity provided by Steve Zahn as Bad Ape, his name taken from the most common phrase he heard from the humans at the zoo he once called home.

What makes the film work, though, is the remarkable Andy Serkis, who continues to be a pioneer in acting with motion capture.

The soulful Caesar is an incredible creation, a perfect melding of performance and technology.

Romero’s allegories tended to land like a punch to the gut, and while “War for the Planet of the Apes” doesn’t strike as powerful a blow, it still finds a way to leave its own mark.

“Maudie” (PG-13), DIRECTED BY AISLING WALSH OPENS FRIDAY, JULY 21, AT THE LITTLE THEATRE

Wonderful performances from Sally Hawkins and Ethan Hawke distract from some storytelling shortcomings in “Maudie,” a gentle biopic of Nova Scotian folk artist Maud Lewis. The film opens in the 1930’s rural village where Maud (Hawkins) lives with an overbearing aunt, after her family decided the arthritic Maud would be unable to take care of herself on her own.

Seeking independence, Maud responds to an advertisement placed by Everett (Hawke), a oafish fishmonger searching for a live-in maid to take care of the household chores he doesn’t have time for. In short order, Maud has moved into Everett’s tiny, boxlike home, and though he is often verbally and occasionally physically abusive, an affection blossoms between the two. In between performing her daily duties, she carries on with her true passion: painting.

The pictures she creates are charmingly simplistic — brightly-colored nature scenes featuring birds, flowers, and cats — and over the years they earn Maud a following, making her a beloved figure in the community and eventually the nation.

Sherry White’s script leaves us to form our own opinions of Maud and Everett’s relationship. But there’s a warmth and authenticity to Aisling Walsh’s directing which helps overcome the sense that at its heart, this is a familiar story of a gruff, closed-off man whose inner tenderness blossoms thanks to the love of a good woman. Hawkins is outstanding, though Maud remains an opaque but fascinating figure. Finding beauty and happiness in a life of hardship, the artist explains how she perseveres: “I don’t want for much, as long as I got a paint brush and a window.”

Death becomes him [ INTERVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

“A Ghost Story” (R), DIRECTED BY DAVID LOWERY OPENS IN ROCHESTER ON FRIDAY, JULY 28

Writer and director David Lowery’s “A Ghost Story” is bound to be one of the more divisive films to be released this year. It tells the melancholy tale of life and death, as experienced by a married couple played by Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara. When Affleck’s character unexpectedly passes away, he returns in the form of a ghost (complete with white bedsheet and holes cut out for eyes) to silently observe his wife as she grieves and attempts to move on.

Where the story goes from there is best left for the audience to discover, but suffice it to say, things get existential. Those willing to open themselves up to the experience, though, will find some of the most audacious filmmaking — and one of best movies — to reach theaters this year.

CITY spoke with David Lowery by phone for a conversation that touched on how he went about bringing such an unusual story to the screen. An edited transcript of our chat is below. For the complete interview, check out rochestercitynewspaper.com.

CITY: “A Ghost Story” is such a different take on the haunted house story. I’d read that the idea originated from an argument you had with your wife. Can you elaborate on that?

David Lowery: I’ve lived in Texas most of my life.

I feel like it’s my home, and part of my identity.

But at a certain point a couple years ago it made sense to move to Los Angeles, and I really didn’t want to go. It was an upsetting move to me, like I was leaving part of myself behind. In particular I’d attached myself to the house we were living in, and did not want to move out of that house.

When I did leave and moved to LA with my wife, that led to — you know, it wasn’t like it led to a gigantic, marriage-ending argument,

David Lowery on the set of “A Ghost Story.” PHOTO BY BRET BURRY, COURTESY OF A24

but at a certain point I floated the idea that we might move back to Texas. And my wife at that point was very happy in LA, she liked it and she didn’t want to leave. So we got into an argument, and that argument felt big for us because we never fight. I remember thinking it felt like the scene from a movie. And more so than that, I recognized in that argument some inherent flaws in my way of thinking, and my way of living. The things that mattered to me — the values I had. I wanted to rectify those flaws and also understand them more thoroughly. So part of the reason I made this movie was to dig into those issues in my life and kind of come to terms with them.

The central image of Casey Affleck walking around in a sheet is incredibly striking, but I have to imagine seeing that on set was a different experience entirely. At what point were you like, “OK, I think this will actually work”?

It took a couple weeks of shooting. [Laughs] Or I guess a week — 10 days or so. Our shoot was only 19 days initially. And by day 11 or 12 I think we finally figured out how to make the ghost work. Preceding that moment of realization, there were plenty of stressful mornings where it just felt like the bed sheet was gonna be a disaster.

And there was a lot of, you know, hemming and hawing and a great amount of trial-and-error in achieving the simplicity that we were really after.

What was the design process like for creating the ghost costume?

My costume designer, Annell Brodeur, began by putting a bed sheet over someone’s head and cutting holes in the eyes, and realizing that would never in a million years work. [Laughs] You know, it’ll work for a 5-year-old on Halloween, but it does not work for a movie. So she created

this costume that looks incredibly simple and looks just like a bed sheet, but is in fact incredibly complex and has a lot of moving parts under that exterior fabric.

How was it directing an actor without any of the basic tools an actor typically has to work with — you can’t see his eyes, his body is covered. I have to imagine that made things challenging.

The only difficult thing was realizing how un-difficult it needed to be. Once I realized it needed to be a very simple process, it was easy.

But initially, I approached it as if I were directing Casey without a sheet. We talked about letting his instincts and body language define the character in a very prominent way, but that just wasn’t working. When we looked at that footage, it just didn’t quite work — it felt like an actor wearing a bed sheet. The solution turned out to be having him do very little. He had to stand either very, very still or turn his head very slowly.

One of the ideas the film explores is what we leave behind when we’re gone. There’s a monologue at the center of the film about the legacy of art on humanity. As a filmmaker, how much of those ideas do you apply to your own work?

I definitely think about it a lot. And I’m also aware that I shouldn’t think about it that much because it’s a perhaps unfair standard to hold one’s own work to. But at the same time, you do want your movies to matter. Or if you’re writing a book, you want those books to matter.

If you’re a musician you want your songs to mean something to somebody. It helps for me to think about things not in terms of the legacy I’m leaving behind, but the connection I’m building with the people who engage with what I’m making.

There are many large houses with columned porches on Huntington Park but none stand out like number fifty-five. Built in 1916, four iconic, white, fluted columns rise two stories to frame the entrance double door, set with beveled glass panels. Wide marble steps lead up to a red-tiled porch, which is enclosed by a half wall. Visions of a comfortable chair and an iced drink on the porch complete the picture.

Inside, a small vestibule leads to a hallway which runs the length of the house and divides it. The first things to notice are the gloriously high ceilings and the amount of natural light that comes through the many windows, giving the house an expansive feel. To the left, are two very large rooms connected by an archway. The first is a living room, which boasts a beautiful set of glass paneled pocket doors, a window seat, and built-in bookcases next to the fireplace. The second room also has a built-in window seat, wainscoting and decorative glass panels. The house retains its original hardwood floors, varnished wood trim, wainscoting, doors, and door hardware. At the end of the center hallway is a half bath.

On the right side of the hall is the parlor, which would make a good office. A few steps down to the right is a small bedroom with closet. The main staircase to the second floor is one of the unique features of the house.

It has a gracefully curved bottom and wood trim accents along its length. At the first landing, there are three windows set at the second story height, which pour light onto a space large enough to be a room itself. The possibilities for this area are endless.

Beyond the staircase is the entrance to the full basement, a second staircase, and at the back right of the house is the kitchen. From the kitchen there is access to an unheated, enclosed back porch. With the alignment of the dining room, kitchen, half bath and the small bedroom for a coat room, the first floor is made for entertaining.

At 3,815 square feet and six bedrooms, this house is ideal for a large, or multigenerational family or someone who uses their home as an office. Five good-sized bedrooms and a full bath are upstairs. Off one bedroom at the back right, there is a large, enclosed sleeping porch.

While the property needs investment and care, the many assets to work with provide an opportunity for personal choices that will make this house a unique home. 55 Huntington Park is currently listed at $64,900.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] by the Editors at Andrews McMeel

Oh, Canada

What could go wrong? Canadian company Bad Axe Throwing announced in June it is bringing its unusual entertainment concept to Denver. It’s “like darts, but on steroids,” says founder Mario Zelaya.

Customers provide their own food and beer and learn how to throw axes at targets.

“We’ll be bringing along the competitive league side as well. That means that folks in Denver can sign up ... and compete at a global level,” Zelaya said.

Smooth Reactions

Did you say French fries or FRESH fries?

Eiram Chanel Amir Dixson, 25, made a point of ordering fresh French fries at a Coon Rapids, Minnesota, Wendy’s drive-thru in May. When the exchange between the dissatisfied Dixson and a Wendy’s worker escalated, the employee threw a soda at Dixson, and Dixson fired back by spraying Mace through the drive-thru window. Police charged Dixson with one count of using tear gas to immobilize.

Rachel Borch, 21, of Hope, Maine, was out for a run in June when a raccoon attacked her. Thinking quickly, Borch grabbed the animal and, despite being bitten, ran to a puddle on the trail and held its head underwater until it drowned.

(BONUS: Borch’s father retrieved the dead raccoon and delivered it for rabies testing in a Taste of the Wild dog food bag.)

Insult to Injury

It was dark in the wee hours of June 30 in Jacksonville, Florida, and Cedric Jelks, 38, probably never saw the loaded gun on the driver’s seat of his car as he got in, but he certainly felt it after the gun went off, wounding his manhood. When police in-

vestigating the report of a gunshot wound arrived at the hospital Jelks was taken to, they added possible firearms charges to his pain after discovering Jelks had a prior conviction for cocaine possession.

Why Not?

A driver in Zhenjiang, China, took drive-thru service to the next level on June 10 when he carefully pulled his tiny automobile through the front doors of a convenience store, requested a package of potato chips and a bottle of yogurt, paid for his purchase and reversed through the doors with the cashier’s guidance. Surveillance video shows the cashier waving and saluting as the car pulls away. He posited that the driver might have been avoiding getting out of his car in the rain.

Finer Points of the Law

A restaurant owner near Florence, Italy, was ordered to pay 2,000 euros in fines in June after judges in Italy’s highest court declared it illegal to keep lobsters on ice in restaurants because it causes them undue suffering. “The suffering caused by detaining the animals while they wait to be cooked cannot be justified,” the judges ruled.

In a fit of law abidance, a resident of Yorkshire, England, called that country’s emergency phone number to report that Queen Elizabeth II was not wearing her seatbelt as she departed the Palace of Westminster on June 21 after delivering her traditional speech at the State Opening of Parliament. Police warned that the 999 system is meant to be used only for emergencies.

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 30 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Attend events that are geared toward mingling and making new acquaintances, or a reunion that will bring people from your past back into your life, and you will find love.

All you have to do is show up and flirt your way into someone’s heart.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your emotions are likely to take over when it comes to affairs of the heart. If you love someone, make a move and do the things that will show how you feel and how much you care. Offering affection will have a much greater effect than words.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Participate, and you will find that special someone. Your ability to entice partners with your sultry, flirtatious words and body language will be a testament that you never have to be alone.

Take comfort in knowing that this week you are in control when it comes to romance.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Keeping your love for someone a secret will not get you any closer to having a meaningful relationship. Step out of your comfort zone and make a move. If you love someone, let that person know and find out where you stand. Sitting at home will not lead to love.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Participate in events that interest you, and love will spring to life.

Your vim and vigor, along with your contribution to whatever you are trying to accomplish, will attract plenty of action from potential partners looking for someone just like you. Romantic opportunity is within reach.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll have trouble choosing the right partner this week. Don’t let your weakness or vulnerability show. Someone will be eager to take advantage of you for something you have to offer.

Play it smart, and don’t be too willing to please without getting something in return.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It doesn’t matter where you go or what you do — as long as you are engaging in activities that attract single people, you will appeal to someone who is emotionally, physically and financially worth getting to know better. Your clever intellect and smart, sophisticated appearance are sure to please.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Be careful not to fall into a relationship that will stifle your personal style or the way you like to live your life. Engage in the pastimes that make you feel alive, but be cautious of anyone trying to mirror your likes to capture your heart.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be difficult to resist if you get out and socialize.

Your fun, free-spirited nature will capture all sorts of interest from people as entertaining and exciting as you. Pick someone who can match your fast-paced life and get started on a new adventure.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Pushiness or persistence will not lead to someone wanting to cozy up to you. Let whomever you are interested in come to you. You cannot buy or coax someone to make a commitment; give a potential partner the freedom to make that decision.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your desire to settle down with someone you find special will lead to concrete changes in the way you live and build your future. Your ability to overcome obstacles while in the planning stages of your journey will help you succeed.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Functions that are geared toward socializing and reconnecting with people who share your opinions, beliefs and cultures will make you think twice about what you want out of a relationship. Being honest about what and who suits you best will be the first step to choosing the right partner.
