On the road to Parcel 5

On a recent drive through the city, several random thoughts came to mind.

1) Parcel 5 and the Loop: From where I was to where I wanted to go, I had to travel city streets, and I was forced to stop at 13 traffic lights. Two years ago, I would have stopped at one traffic light, gotten onto the Inner Loop, and arrived at my destination quickly and efficiently without being annoyed and without polluting the air unnecessarily.

One of the lights I stopped at was adjacent to Parcel 5. There wasn’t much happening on the gravel lot that day. There was a person taking a short cut through Parcel 5 and two people standing near of the middle talking. It

dawned on me what that empty space represented to me: breathing room.

It’s an empty lot; a totally empty lot. It represents freedom and the great wide open or at least as great and as open as a city space allows.

Some say the city already has enough downtown parks. But parks carry a lot of baggage – benches, statues, monuments, gardens, trees, shrubs, fountains, sidewalks, trash cans, lights, etc. Parcel 5 could continue to be exactly what it currently is: breathing room.

2) Development – and the Loop: If the proposed developments on the Inner Loop site produce the expected results, and if the performing arts center is built and attracts people to the city, the city might need something like the Inner Loop of years ago to move the flow of traffic.

One big event at the War Memorial is enough to paralyze traffic in the city. Imagine simultaneous events at the War Memorial, the Auditorium Theater, and a new performing arts center. I miss the Inner Loop.

3) Rochester’s poverty mission: Despite all the development talk in the city, I never hear talk about how these developments might positively impact city residents living in poverty. It seems bizarrely incongruent that this area has

a task force working on the issue of poverty and we have major projects in the works but there is no connection.

To be successful in addressing poverty, fighting poverty has to be a priority and has to be part of everything good that might be happening in the city. Whether it is a performing arts center or a hotel and shops near the Museum of Play, jobs will be created. Why isn’t anyone focusing on connecting those jobs with unemployed or underemployed city residents living in poverty? If no one makes these developments part of the solution, they are actually part of the problem.

Find the funding for the new theater

On arts leaders’ concern about the impact of a new RBTL theater for Parcel 5: I

think the impact on other arts venues will be positive. A rising tide lifts all boats. Informative public forums, fine; but quickly, please. The proposal was already selected and not without reason. The main focus now should be to secure the funds and complete the project before the opportunity vanishes.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

How to reduce poverty: boost workers’ wages The statistics shouldn’t be a surprise to any of us; many of them have been in earlier reports. But still, the numbers are staggering. And so are the rankings those numbers put us in.

Rochester is the fourth poorest city among the 75 largest metro areas in the country. We have the third-highest concentration of people living in high-poverty census tracks.

Compared to other cities our size, we’re the worst in child poverty, in the percentage of residents living in extreme poverty, and in the poverty rate of female heads of households.

Worse, many residents have income that puts them above the federal poverty level, but don’t have nearly enough money to be self-sufficient. The federal guideline is decades old and doesn’t take into account regional differences. Selfsufficiency gives a better picture of the severity of Rochester’s poverty.

And while we think of the poor as people who don’t have jobs, many of them do. They just don’t earn enough to make ends meet.

A new report focusing on the working poor – “Wage Disparities in Monroe County by Race and Gender” – suggests a way to dramatically reduce poverty in the Rochester area. But doing what the report suggests will be both hard and controversial.

The report, which was released late last week, was prepared by the mayor’s Office of Innovation and Strategic Initiatives and by the Rochester-Monroe Anti-Poverty Initiative. It contains some of the same statistics we’ve seen before. But there’s plenty of new information – and seeing all of it compiled in one place forces us to face some unpleasant truths: • Inequality is built into our wage and hiring structures. We value some kinds of work, and some kinds of workers, far more than we value others. And that discrimination isn’t always based on the work’s value to society.

• Racism and sexism are very much alive, both in how we value different types of work and in how we pay workers in all types of jobs. Far more African-Americans and Hispanics are poor than whites. More women are poor than men. And the disparity exists across industry sectors.

• Unless we change wage scales and personnel practices, poverty in this region will continue.

Poverty has been growing everywhere in

Racism and sexism are very much alive, both in how we value different types of work and in how we pay workers in all types of jobs. ” the Greater Rochester area – in the city, in the suburbs, in rural areas. But the poor are heavily concentrated in the city. And a lot of job growth has been in the suburbs.

Fueling the concentration of the poor in Rochester: the city’s precipitous drop in population – from 318,611 in 1960 to an estimated 208,880 in 2016. That flight occurred primarily among middle-income and upper-income people.

An equally dramatic change occurred in the racial composition of city residents.

In 1970, 82.4 percent of city residents were white. In 2010, 43.7 percent were white.

The result: the majority of city residents are poor and African-American or Hispanic. Estimates compiled by the staff of the city and the Anti-Poverty Initiative indicate that fewer than 30 percent of city residents earn enough to be self-sufficient.

Many of them don’t have jobs. But many do. And according to the Wage Disparities report, an estimated 13,477 full-time workers and another 17,500 part-time workers aren’t earning enough to be self-sufficient. And the part-time workers are much more likely not only to lack self-sufficiency but to be in real poverty.

And looking at current trends in employment doesn’t give us much hope for the future. “Currently,” says the report, “the health-care and social assistance industry is the largest employment sector, and trends indicate that that will continue.”

These are low-wage jobs such as continues on page 8 rochestercitynewspaper.com

Another call for police oversight

At a Monday press conference, a local civil-rights leader renewed his plea for broad reform of Rochester’s police oversight process.

The Rev. Lewis Stewart, president of United Christian Leadership Ministry of Western New York, cited the case of teenager Rickey Bryant, who was seriously injured during a police investigation a year ago. Bryant and his family filed a formal complaint, but the police chief didn’t find the complaint justified, and no details of the investigation have become public. Bryant has filed a suit against the city, and City Council is investigating the case and has raised the possibility that it might seek reforms of the oversight system.

Council may vote on major project

A proposal to transform the area around the Strong Museum into a lively mixture of an expanded museum, a hotel, apartments, and retail could move forward next week.

At its August 15 meeting, City Council will consider selling several parcels of land for the project. The development would be created by the

museum and its partners, Konar Development Corporation and Indus Adventure Street LLC. The property includes part of the former Inner Loop, now brought up to street level, and land stretching westward to Martin Luther King Jr. Park.

Group focuses on racism in education

A group of local ministers and civil rights activists have formed a new, faith-based organization to fight racism.

The organization, called MAMA – Movement for Anti-racist Ministry and Action – chose institutional racism in education as its first focus, and it plans to push for hiring and retaining “significantly more race and class-conscious teachers of color” in the Rochester school district. Members of the group’s steering committee are Andria Bryant, Velverly Caldwell, the Rev. Judith Davis, Howard Eagle, Curtis McClenton, and Pastor Wanda Wilson.

MAMA will co-sponsor a school board candidates’ forum at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, August 10, at the Community of the Savior, 4 East Henrietta Road.

The Rush Oak Openings Unique Area: Some residents worry that allowing hunting will limit public use. PHOTO BY KEVIN FULLER PARKS | BY JEREMY MOULE

Rush preserve plan allows hunting Down near the Rush-Avon border sits a state-protected swath of prairielike land, where grasses, hedges, and wildflowers are interspersed with oak trees. It’s an oak opening, and there used to be places just like it all across the Midwest and this part of New York.

But the 228-acre Rush Oak Openings Unique Area is the last such spot in New York. And recently, the State Department of Environmental Conservation released a new, tentative plan for how it’ll manage the public land, situated between State Route 15 and Honeoye Falls Five Points Road. In short, there will be no major changes, according to DEC Region 8 spokesperson Linda Vera.

But that also means that the agency will continue to allow hunting on the property, a use that a handful of Rush residents previously asked the DEC to prohibit.

“If hunting is permitted, there are several months when families cannot safely use this land,” wrote Jim Chaize, whose comments were published in the draft plan.

Other comments echoed that thought. And most of them referenced a 2014 hunting accident in which a 71-year old man was fatally shot by his friend’s son.

The Rush Oak Openings are included in a multi-site unit management plan developed by

the DEC. The other sites are in surrounding counties The department is holding a public information meeting on the plan at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, August 15, at the Region 8 headquarters, 6274 East Avon-Lima Road, Avon.

DEC representatives will give a halfhour presentation and then answer questions. Staff will be available through 8:30 p.m. to take comments.

The agency is also accepting comments through September 18; they can be sent to r8.ump@dec.ny.gov or NYSDEC, 7291 Coon Road, Bath, NY 14810. The plan can be viewed at http://www.dec.ny.gov/docs/lands_ forests_pdf/nflump2016draft.pdf.

In place of the vast campus that housed the Rochester Psychiatric Center, developers want to create a mixed-use development: commercial buildings, apartments, duplexes, a 110-room hotel, small retail shops, and a walking trail. City Council will vote next week on the plan.

DEVELOPMENT | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Elmwood Avenue plan up to City Council The Terrence Building, the 17-story, 1950’s-era brick building that was part of the former Rochester Psychiatric Center, seems to jut up from the landscape at 1201 Elmwood Avenue. Over the years, there’ve been proposals for redeveloping its roughly 30-acre site – part of which is in the town of Brighton – but nothing has gotten built.

Residents in the nearby Highland Park neighborhoods have been concerned about the Terrence Building, because it’s been sitting vacant for nearly 20 years. That may be about to change.

Last month, the city Planning Commission approved a proposal by developers Robert Morgan and Ralph DiTucci that would transform this stretch of Elmwood Avenue.

The plan calls for demolishing the Terrence Building and creating a mixeduse development consisting of three commercial buildings, three apartment buildings, 11 duplexes, a four-story 110room hotel, some small retail shops, and a walking trail. The height of the buildings will range from two stories to 12 stories.

City Council is expected to vote on the project at its August 15 meeting.

The project will add a considerable

amount of new housing to the area – more than 500 rental units only minutes from the University of Rochester and Strong Memorial Hospital.

Though many residents in the area say they will be relieved to be rid of the psychiatric-center tower that loomed over the site, they’re divided about the proposed development. Their biggest concern is traffic. Even though a second entrance would be added from Rochester’s Science Parkway, the main entrance to the development would be at the intersection of Elmwood Avenue and Azalea Road, a small residential street that runs between Elmwood and Highland Avenue.

Some area residents wanted the traffic light at the Elmwood-Azalea intersection relocated, fearing that Azalea would become a cut-through street for residents and commercial vehicles. Some wanted the Elmwood Avenue entrance to the project at South Goodman Street, a main corridor in the area, rather than at Azalea.

But at the Planning Commission’s meeting in July, the developers said the site was designed to create a new, pedestrian-friendly neighborhood that would connect to the existing Azalea

Road neighborhood. Moving the traffic signal would create a barrier, they said.

Traffic wasn’t the only concern. Store closings in nearby College Town raised questions about the viability of additional retail space in the area. But developers said they’ll be looking for smaller, local retailers and service providers – hair salons, for example – rather than larger businesses.

Some residents also raised concerns about the height of some of the buildings, particularly the tallest, which, at 12 stories, is out of character with the area,

they said.

Other residents spoke or wrote supporting the plan, however, and the Planning Commission approved it, 6-1.

The next step, then, is City Council’s vote on August 15. The Town of Brighton still has to approve the town’s portion of the project; Brighton’s building and planning department is reviewing the plans, but no public meetings have been scheduled yet.

CITY 5

DEVELOPMENT | BY JAKE CLAPP AND MARY ANNA TOWLER

Tensions build over a new RBTL theater The proposal to build a new theater downtown for the Rochester Broadway Theatre League has begun to generate some drama on its, creating suspicion and bringing divisions in the arts community and the political community out into the open.

In April, Mayor Lovely Warren announced that she had chosen RBTL and Morgan Communities to develop Parcel 5, a key part of the former Midtown Plaza site. City Council has to approve sale of the land, and the mayor hasn’t sent Council a request for that sale.

Warren’s choice was controversial from the beginning, because she was initially believed to have selected a proposal by developer Andy Gallina for a building containing condominiums and retail space, with some public open space at the back end of the parcel. And since the RBTLMorgan plan was selected, opposition has begun to build. Some of it has come from activists who favored a third proposal for Parcel 5, called Visionary Square, which would have kept the property largely undeveloped, used for public events and with some space for vendors.

More recently, arts organizations have begun speaking out – not so much directly opposing the RBTL-Morgan project as asking for more study of the proposed theater, its finances, and its possible impact on other arts venues and organizations The project continues to have the mayor’s full support. But sale of city property requires approval by seven of the nine members of City Council, and at the moment, there’s not nearly much that support for it. And since Council will have the final say, lobbying over the project is intensifying.

Over the past week or so, the Arts and Cultural Council for Greater Rochester, Geva Theatre Center, and the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra sent letters to City Council to express concerns both about how the proposal was selected and how the theater might impact the arts community. They are worried, for instance, that the new, larger theater for RBTL might compete with them for scare funds and for audiences.

A recurring concern in the letters and in

comments made the last few days is that it isn’t clear how the development would benefit the Rochester arts community as a whole or grow the City of the Arts brand. Several organizations have called for an independent impact study.

“A beautiful, new theater is not going to make Rochester the City of the Arts,” Geva Artistic Director Mark Cuddy said during a press conference Monday. “We are already a City of the Arts. Does Rochester Broadway Theatre League – and other organizations – deserve a facility? Absolutely. Should the city be 6 CITY

Speaking out on Parcel 5

City Council will hold a public forum for Thursday, August 10, to hear comments and concerns about the future development of Parcel 5. The forum starts at 5:30 p.m. and will take place in Council Chambers, in City Hall, 30 Church Street.

Those who want to speak can sign up in advance by calling 428-7538, or can sign up that night in Council Chambers. Comments can also be sent via email to council@cityofrochester. gov and by mail to City Council, 30 Church Street, Room 301A, Rochester, New York, 14614.

There will also be a pop-up event on Thursday, 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., at Parcel 5 (the former Midtown Plaza site), organized by Visionary Square supporters. involved, we want to make sure all the questions are asked, because it’s public value and public land.”

Geva’s letter to City Council said arts leaders are concerned “that the process of awarding Parcel 5, and now the City Council’s consideration of the project, has seemed mysteriously opaque. We do not know when public comment will be heard on the proposal; meanwhile there is a full campaign by the theater developer to ‘sell’ the project as a fait accompli.

This alarms many of us.”

The letter, co-signed by Mark Cuddy and Executive Director Christopher Mannelli — but referencing that more than a dozen arts leaders took part in discussions — was accompanied by a 14-page document outlining questions and issues raised by arts community members. Geva emphasized in the document that the group does not take a position for or against the proposal.

The 14-page memorandum, which can be read on Geva’s website, outlines four major themes: Is a single theater the best use of Parcel 5 for downtown and for Rochester’s arts and cultural sector? How would the theater impact existing venues and non-profits? Could the theater fit on the site? And what can the city do to support Rochester’s arts community?

The document poses questions on topics ranging from job creation and state funding to bringing young people back to downtown and the fate of the Auditorium Theatre (RBTL’s current home). And, it asks: “what is the public value of dedicating land, construction dollars, and possible annual subsidies to a project that creates more revenue to send out of Rochester to for-profit promoters and producers?”

The memorandum calls for public hearings and asks that City Council’s Business and Economic Development Committee and its Arts and Culture committees “conduct working sessions with leaders from arts, culture, and developer sectors.”

The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra’s letter,

sent on August 2 and signed by President and CEO Ralph Craviso, calls for an impact study to “determine how the current Parcel 5 proposal would affect other Rochester arts institutions, and in particular, our community’s performing arts institutions.”

The RPO is projecting a balanced budget for the current fiscal year – its first in six years — and some of the increased revenue has come from new audiences brought in by expanded concert offerings, Craviso wrote. There is a concern that an expanded RBTL schedule — going from around 130 live performances a year to 180 in a new theater — would impact the RPO’s growth.

RBTL’s CEO Arnie Rothschild insists that a new theater for RBTL won’t compete with other arts venues and organizations, for finances or for audience, any more than it does now.

In an interview Friday, Rothschild repeated what he has said in the past: that RBTL needs and plans to build a new facility and that its preference is a downtown location. RBTL has also considered suburban locations and would consider that again if it can’t secure a suitable downtown site. In the past, those suburban plans have included a large theater for touring Broadway shows and one or two smaller spaces.

It’s possible that move and expansion could have

a harder impact on Rochester’s arts community than the move to a single theater space on Parcel 5.

Critics have also raised concerns that public funds would have to help subsidize the theater, but Rothschild says that RBTL has had an operating surplus for 13 of the last 14 years and that its projections show a surplus in the new theater. According to a 10-year pro-forma released by RBTL, the theater would have a net surplus of $219,550 after its first full year of operation, 2021.

The theater proposal has become an issue in the mayoral campaign, with Warren’s Democratic challengers, Jim Sheppard and Rachel Barnhart, criticizing the selection process.

Warren recently petitioned Governor Andrew Cuomo for $20 million in state funding for the theater, which is estimated to cost $75 to $85 million. And early this week, State Assembly Majority Leader Joe Morelle – a former Monroe Democratic Party chair – seemed to split with Warren on the theater. He told the Democrat and Chronicle that it would be “highly irresponsible” for the state to provide that much money for a project he said has too many questions.

The next act in this arts-community drama: City Council has scheduled a public forum for 5:30 p.m. Thursday, August 10 – not specifically on the RBTL proposal but on the broader issue of Parcel 5’s future. No legislation related to the development is pending, though, and it’s a good bet that there won’t be any for several months – maybe not until after the election.

nursing-home workers, home health aides (HHA’s), personal care aides (PCA’s), childcare workers. In the Finger Lakes region, for example, pay for health-care workers ranges from $11.65 per hour to $12.25 per hour, says the report.

These types of jobs don’t require a college education. And not surprisingly, African-Americans and Hispanics make up a disproportionate number of workers in those fields. And they often don’t earn enough to be self-sufficient.

An additional problem: Many of these jobs don’t offer a path to better ones. Alex Yudelson, Mayor Lovely Warren’s chief of staff, gave an example as he walked me through the Wage Disparities report.

“Twenty years ago,” he said, “if you were a home health aide, it was a path to an RN,” which paid better. That path no longer exists.

“According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ 2015 estimates for Rochester,” says the Wage Disparities report, “the total number of low-wage health-care workers is 20,780, and a large proportion, or 7,560, are PCA’s. This means that over a third of the workers in the area’s top growth sector are earning low wages and unlikely to meet self-sufficiency standards for households with dependents.”

“Locally,” says the Wage Disparities report, “there is a push to increase the workforce of HHA’s and PCA’s to meet the needs of a large local disabled and/or aging population,” the report notes. “Action for a Better Community recently received a Health Profession Opportunity Grant to train people in poverty for work in these occupations.

However, at current pay rates it is unlikely that these newly trained individuals will earn enough to be considered self-sufficient.”

Racism plays a part, too. Analysis of census data shows that not only are minorities concentrated in low-wage jobs but even in those jobs, the report says, they earn less than white workers.

Discussions about poverty often overlook one group of Rochesterians: those with disabilities. And yet according to ACT Rochester, more than 42.1 percent of people in Rochester with a disability are living in poverty. That’s 22 percent of the poverty population in the city.

Having a disability doesn’t always prevent people from holding a job, but a particularly insidious complication actually encourages their poverty. The Wage Disparities report cites a 1938 federal law that allows “sheltered workshops, which predominantly serve those with intellectual and/or physical disabilities, to pay subminimum wages to disabled workers.”

“Nationally,” says the report, “many of these workers earn less than a dollar per hour.”

We’ve had reports similar to this before, many times. Will anything come out of

this one?

There’s been some movement, even before work on the Wage Disparities report began.

As part of the Anti-Poverty Initiative, the Catholic Family Center has received funding to operate an adult job-skills mentoring program in the city’s Beechwood, Marketview Heights, and EMMA neighborhoods.

Representatives of city government and the Regional Transit Service have been discussing the need to change or add bus routes to make transportation to jobs more accessible to residents of Rochester’s poorest neighborhoods.

City and RMAPI representatives have been meeting with the leaders of businesses and institutions about the data laid out in the Wage Disparities report, and Yudelson says they’ve been receptive. Some have agreed to convene other leaders in their field. And Mayor Warren’s office says she’ll continue to conduct discussions to focus on the issue of wage disparity.

There will be the predictable response: that raising wages will be too expensive, that health care providers, other service providers, and businesses can’t afford to pay more than they do. And in truth, fields like health care are experiencing intense stress and uncertainty.

But if Rochester is serious about reducing poverty, all of its employment sectors will have to get serious about the wages of the working poor. City Hall has helped lead the way by pledging to raise the wages of all of its full-time workers to $15 by 2021, more quickly than the state has mandated for Upstate New York. The business community’s Unshackle Upstate effort, on the other hand, has been a strong opponent of the movement to raise the state’s minimum wage to $15.

It’s encouraging that the leaders of some Rochester businesses and institutions have agreed to get others together to discuss the report and its findings about the working poor. That’s a good first step. But Rochester has a history of studying problems diligently but then moving on.

There may also be the temptation to pass the poverty problem on to RMAPI and the local agencies that serve the poor. That would be a terrible mistake, but it would be consistent with the way Rochester tends to deal with difficult problems.

As the Wage Disparities report says, the stark data it contains can serve as a starting point. But the report is just an educational vehicle. What the community does with it is what matters.

Raising wages isn’t the only thing we need to do to decrease the high poverty level of the city and the region. Job creation, job training, mentoring: all of that is crucial. And the region has begun to focus on those areas.

But if all we do is create more jobs with low wages, we’ll have done little to nothing.

When a new brewery opens, it can often feel like it popped up out of nowhere. From the outside, we don’t usually see the intense planning and preparation that goes into starting a company. That was especially true for Canandaigua’s newest craft brewery, Young Lion Brewing Company.

The brewery officially opened on June 29, but it’s been in the works for more than two years. Co-founder and CEO Jennifer Newman’s background is in business, but she had always wanted to open a craft brewery. She and her co-founders, Alicia Wolk, Kevin Morgan, and Todd Morgan, carried out a nationwide search to find the right brew master, interviewing brewers from all over the country.

The owners had specific criteria they wanted: the first emphasis was on “grain to glass” — they wanted a brewer who can carry out the entire production process

from farm to tap room table — second, they wanted someone who could work on a large advanced system and would be able to grow with the company; and third, they wanted a “brew pub moxy” or someone who is constantly hungry for a great recipe and excited about experimenting with new ingredients.

They found it all in Phil Platz, a UC Davis graduate who was working in Alabama at a brewery called Trim Tab. And prior to his time in Alabama, Platz spent nine years working at Miller Coors.

Even though it just opened, Young Lion has high aspirations, Newman says, with plans to add 20-plus jobs within the next five years — three full-time staff members have already relocated to the area from out of state. “We believe that to make great beer, you have to do it right,” Newman says, “and we truly believe that we’ve created the perfect blend of form and function with quality ingredients, state-ofthe-art equipment, and most importantly, a smart, savvy group of industry experts.”

All start-ups are challenging, “however, when you’re doing something that you’re passionate about you enjoy every minute,” Newman says. The project began back in April 2015, and “it’s truly taken a village to bring this project to fruition, everyone

bringing an invaluable piece of the puzzle,” she says.

For those unfamiliar with the Young Lion moniker, before Rochester was known as the “Flour/Flower City” it was referred to as “The Young Lion of the West.” “All

of the owners are from this area, so it is a name that resonated with each one of us,” Newman says. Their goal is to create a parallel between Rochester’s history and the area’s beer industry today.

Young Lion is currently brewing a variety of beers: on tap, they have an IPA, double IPA, New England IPA, Mexican lager (Cachorro de Leon), stout, gose, along with several guest taps. The brewery recently started canning crowlers with Iron Heart Mobile canning and will be installing a Wild Goose canning system in the fall.

The brewery hosts a 35-barrel brew house, and five, 90-barrel fermenters, yielding a capacity of more than 10,000 barrels a year. And the tap room has a limited, focused food menu. Currently, it offers giant European-style soft pretzels and charcuterie, with plans to expand the menu in the near future.

The folks at Young Lion say they are excited to be a part of what’s going on in the area’s beer community. “This region is thriving with more and more people coming into the area every day,” Newman says, “and we’re proud to be a part of this movement and to have created an amazing gathering place that will support the economic growth of the Finger Lakes.” rochestercitynewspaper.com

There’s a long, L-shaped counter displaying

every imaginable piece of equipment: scooter handles, wheels in every color, skate decks, helmets, stickers. There are boards, bikes, and gear to rent, and snacks and energy drinks to purchase behind the cash register.

The temperature in the skatepark is tropical.

To the right of the entrance, parents congregate on a tall wooden platform overlooking the park’s 20,000 square feet of ramps, rails, and half pipes, and keep an eye on their kids.

One pre-teen girl with waist-long, strawberryblonde hair skateboards down a ramp, attempting what one can guess is a new trick. As she makes her way down the incline, she picks up too much speed, her skateboard goes flying out from underneath her, and she hits the ground.

“You were so close! You almost had it! You’ll definitely get it next time!” Behind her, two other girls yell and cheer her on as she readjusts her bright green, sticker-covered helmet, gets back on the board, and makes her way over to the ramp to try again.

Right above the “gnar bowl” — really more like an empty in-ground swimming pool — an oversized silhouette of Susan B. Anthony’s profile peers over a vert ramp, as if she’s keeping an eye 12 CITY AUGUST 9 - 15, 2017

over the park. Tonight, female skaters have free reign over the usually male-dominated territory.

It’s the fifth Ladies’ Night, and girls and women of all ages and skill sets have the run of the park. The first Ladies’ Night event was held on March 27, and the events are publicized through Instagram, Facebook events, fliers, and word-of-mouth.

The woman behind these Ladies’ Nights

is Rochester local Scarlett Markham. After seven years in Brooklyn, Markham moved back to Rochester in 2013 and now works at Parkleigh on Park Avenue. When the 28-yearold isn’t creating zines, lapel pins, and other crafts for her personal art business, Flour Pail Kids, she’s on her skateboard.

Aaron Costa, owner of the Park Avenue skate shop Krudco, along with Friends of ROC City

Skatepark President Alan Presutti, approached Markham about the need for female skateboarding opportunities in the city.

“When I first came back to Rochester,” Markham says, “I walked into Krudco and Aaron was like, ‘Oh, you skate, and you’re a woman. Do you want to teach other girls how to skateboard?’ I didn’t know anybody, and I wasn’t confident about my skills. I was wondering, ‘Am I gonna be judged?’”

Judgment is a real concern for women in the skating community. “We’re talking about sexism — yes, there is,” Markham says. “On top of that, in skateboarding, there’s all sorts of dos and don’ts.”

Two fathers, Ryan McKenna and Elliot Weininger, say that their daughters are more enthusiastic and the environment is less intimidating at Ladies’ Nights. “The boys are always nice, but it’s nice for her not to stand out,” one of them reasons.

“I’m more scared than she is,” one father says to another as they watch their kids skate.

Markham admits that she was on board with the idea of creating a Ladies’ Night for a seemingly selfish reason: “I wanted other women to skate with,” she says. It’s easy to feel isolated as a woman in male-heavy

spaces. While men are often supportive, they sometimes slip up.

“I don’t know if it’s a privilege, but it’s an insight if you ever get to be a part of this community of men and they forget to censor themselves,” Markham says. “It’s scary, it’s disgusting. It’s that ‘locker room’ talk crap. No. It’s way uncool. Don’t forget that women exist.”

Ladies’ Night is a judgment-free zone for skaters

of all ages and skill sets, ranging from those who have never touched a skateboard to others who skate on a daily basis.

Giovanna is 12 years old, and it’s her first time at Ladies’ Night, but her third time at the skatepark. Her mom drives her in from the suburbs because Giovanna’s friends don’t skate — it’s just not something they’re interested in.

When she heard about Ladies’ Night, she knew she had to come skate with the new friends she’d made from the park’s beginner sessions.

Ivy Burruto, 23, is one of Markham’s coworkers from Parkleigh. It’s her first time trying anything remotely like this, so she opts for a scooter — the handlebars give her more leverage.

Rosy-cheeked Marli is 11, and it’s her first time at Ladies’ Night, too. She adjusts her wrist

pads, and explains that she got her little brother interested in skateboarding, but he was curious about why there was no designated “boys’” night.

“There are usually boys there,” she told him.

Marli says her brother understood.

While it’s enormous, Breaking Free tends to get jam-packed, especially in the colder months, which adds another significance to Ladies’ Night events.

“It’s swamped in the winter,” says Katie Epner, another Ladies’ Night attendee. It’s understandable that people who are new to a relatively dangerous sport like skateboarding or biking wouldn’t want to share a cramped space with those more experienced. There also isn’t really anywhere else for skateboarders to go, regardless of gender.

“It’s a shadow on our city that we don’t have a city skatepark,” Katie Woodson says with a sigh, re-lacing her roller skates in one of the park’s retro booths. Woodson, a former roller derby girl, has two daughters who she insists are future skaters. A downtown city skatepark has been a contentious topic over the last decade or so.

Kids “could be inside playing video games,” Woodson says. She’s confident that a city skatepark would promote exercise, get kids outside in the sunshine, and encourage a supportive athletic culture. Markham agrees with her. “It’s good

Markham, an experienced skater, jumps off a ledge. PHOTO BY KEVIN FULLER

for your community,” she says. “It gets kids off the street. This is for everyday people. This is something people will actually use.”

Dave Raffa, who “is the whole business” of Breaking Free Skatepark, is of the same opinion, and thinks that everyone should at least try to skate. “It gets kids on wheels,” he puts it plainly, opening a half-melted granola bar. He also advocates for the psychological benefits of skating, explaining that incentive-based rewards, like the rush of serotonin achieved after landing a difficult trick, teach kids the power of determination.

“It’s the best thing ever,” he says. “It’s cool and it gets kids off the couch.” He’s also happy to see how successful the Ladies’ Night events have been so far.

“Every time a girl walks in, I tell her about Ladies’ Night,” he says over the echoes of grinding wheels cruising down ramps.

Markham says she started these events because she cares about her community, and she wants to expand her inclusion efforts to focus on adult skaters — those who have always wanted to try skating, but gave up because they feel like they’re too old.

“We’re in a world where ‘women can’t do this,’ and ‘Serena Williams would have come in 700th place’ — I don’t want to live in that world,” she says. rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 13

On its third album, “Picture Perfect,” A Vintage Year expands on the racket contained in its previous two releases by adding a sense that the band is comfortable in its own skin.

Backing it up is a musical chemistry that mixes innovative grunge deconstruction with the big time vocals of lead singer Joe Williams. While Williams wails in a style reminiscent of the late Scott Weiland, the rhythm section behind him delivers the punch.

Under the surface of “Picture Perfect,” things aren’t steady. The lyrical content across the album’s seven songs is dark; songs about heists gone bad (“On Your Hands”), addiction (“Hypnagogic”), and bad relationships (“Ain’t Right”) get their points across in no time — plus the band is uprooting itself cross-country, which comes with its own complexity. On the album’s final cut, “Crash Landing,” Williams sings, “I’m the picture perfect poster child of what’s going wrong.”

His sentiments are as grinding as the music that carries it.

Overall, the songwriting on “Picture Perfect” is an upgrade from the band’s previous albums, despite the absence of a definitive track. A Vintage Year is made up of talented players, and there’s no doubt the band will be at its best once the whole exceeds the sum of its parts. — BY ROMAN DIVEZUR

Aaron Rizzo tears into “Gasoline,” the opening track of “Blck Tee Shirt,” with a guitar that burns hot and brilliant — like Mason Rufner’s “Gypsy Blood.” While the next track, “3 AM,” is a bold move in its reserve and mellow frankness, the energy doesn’t let up. Rather it’s drawn back inside and let out bit by bit in little fragments of exhaled blue-eyed soul.

Rizzo’s track “Jericho” comes careening in with the guitar set at full-slither. The lyrics are a tad cliché here and there, what with the talk of sin and preachers and whatnot, but the guitar … well, Jesus, it just fucking rocks. “Just One Glass” comes in along with “Tangerine,” showcasing more of the man’s slow-burn soul and pristine six-string attack. Soul and jazzy finger style abound. Still on “Blck Tee Shirt,” and inside Rizzo, beats the heart of a rocker.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 13, AT IRONDEQUOIT TOWN HALL GAZEBO, 1280 TITUS AVENUE 2:30 P.M. | FREE | IRONDEQUOIT.ORG AND ON WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, AT ROGER ROBACH COMMUNITY CENTER, 180 BEACH AVENUE 7:15 P.M. | $2 DONATION | 865-3320; ONTARIOBEACHENTERTAINMENT.ORG

Jack Allen’s daughter, Linda, cautioned me before I sat down with her father.

“He hasn’t picked up his horn for over a year now,” she said about the venerable big band leader and trumpeter.

Well, apparently no one told Jack. I handed him his horn as a possible photo opportunity, he put it to his lips, and out came an impromptu rendition of “Blueberry Hill.”

It’s no surprise; after nearly 80 years in the big band business, it comes second nature to the man who, at 92 years old, is now retiring. I sat down to talk with Allen, but after playing a trumpet for

most of his life, Allen is somewhat hard of hearing — and the fact that I stutter, this was going to make for an interesting interview. So we had Linda stick around to help communicate.

“It makes me very sad,” Allen says.

The man has led the Jack Allen Big Band for the last 30-odd years. Allen is a hero of mine, not only as a musician but as a gentleman who carries himself with class and musical integrity. I’m proud to call him my friend. He played my 40th birthday party and my 50th, and if I stick around, I’ll have him play my 60th.

In the late-1970’s, Allen joined the Chick Edmond Big Band and took over 15 years later when Edmond handed him the reins. Out of respect, Allen didn’t change the band name until 2001.

If you’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing Jack Allen’s Big Band live, you’ve seen the band leader not at the podium like some stuffy maestro with a baton but playing his trumpet with one hand while conducting with the other. His feet join the party, too, as he stomps out intros and time signatures from down in the trenches with his band.

According to Allen, though, he was never really excited about conducting or composing.

“I was only really interested in playing the trumpet,” he says.

Allen’s father — also a trumpet player — gave him a few lessons, and by age 12, he was playing church functions, parties, and events in various ensembles.

“We played Jewish weddings, Italian weddings, anything,” Allen says.

His love for Tommy Dorsey’s horn player, Ziggy Elman, earned Allen the nick name Ziggy Allen, and so he led The Ziggy Allen Big Band during his high school years at Franklin High School. By the time Allen was 17, he was a card-carrying union member gigging regularly in Rochester hotspots like The Swing Club on Buffalo Road, The Riviera Club on Mt. Read Boulevard, The Bartlett Club on Bartlett Street, and The Chateau on Monroe Avenue.

And there were the bigger, downtown theaters — The Temple, The Loew’s Rochester, and The Palace — all of which brought in national touring acts for one-week stints. Local union musicians were always on standby in case a touring musician couldn’t play. One such substitution back in 1943 got Allen on the road with The Tommy Reynolds Big Band. They toured the East Coast and Midwest with memorable one-week stands at the St. Charles Theatre and The Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans.

But of all of Allen’s accomplishments, he has one that is his proudest. “The Rochester International Jazz Festival,” he says without hesitation.

When pressed for advice, Allen simply emphasizes the importance of practice.

“Every day,” he says. Having a tolerant wife like Marie — they’ve been married for 61 years — doesn’t hurt either. “Isn’t she wonderful,” he says.

His eyes twinkle when he speaks of her.

Two shows — one on August 13 at the Irondequoit Town Hall Gazebo and the other September 13 at Roger Robach Community Center — will mark the end of Jack Allen’s illustrious career. He’s got a lot of grandfathering to do with his three great-grandchildren. But retirement?

I’m just not sure he agrees or if he even knows the meaning of the word.

“I’ll still pick up a few gigs here and there,” he says matter-of-factly.

And I’ll be there, Jack.

[ PREVIEW ] BY DAVID RAYMOND

In the world of opera, good things often come in large, gaudily wrapped packages. Pegasus Early Music this weekend hopes to prove that small is good, operatically speaking, with a production of Henry Purcell’s “Dido and Aeneas.” The opera will run this Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday at the Jewish Community Center’s Hart Theater.

“It’s been kind of a dream,” says Pegasus Artistic Director Deborah Fox of the group’s first venture into opera. Fox is not only the show’s producer, but she’ll also play the lute in the orchestra — as she has for many baroque operas, including six previous productions of “Dido and Aeneas.”

20 CITY AUGUST 9 - 15, 2017

“Many baroque operas are actually not far removed from what we do in Pegasus,” she says; the ensemble’s programs often include singers performing cantatas, madrigals, and other works for several voices, sung in an improvisatory style and accompanied by a small instrumental ensemble.

The short-lived Henry Purcell (born in 1659 and died 1695) has always been revered as one of the greatest English composers. He wrote music for many plays and other stage works, but “Dido and Aeneas” is his only real opera (that is, sung throughout) — and it’s only an hour long.

Just in case you haven’t reread Virgil’s “Aeneid” recently, the opera is based on its fourth book, in which Dido, the Queen of Carthage (now Tunisia) is seduced and abandoned by the Trojan warrior Aeneas. The opera’s librettist, Nahum Tate, made one significant change to Virgil: he adds a trio of Witches, who have it in for Dido and who compel Aeneas to leave her.

After taking his pleasure in Carthage, Aeneas moves on to Rome, leaving the grief-stricken Dido to commit suicide.

“Dido and Aeneas” is “very modern in a way,” Fox says. “The transitions are super fast and it covers the gamut of emotions in a short period, from huge tragic moments to absolute comedy.”

Purcell’s music runs the gamut as well, Music Director Michael Beattie explains. “The

late 17th century was an extraordinary period of European stylistic cross-pollination,” he says. “In England, there was a special interest in French dance music and anything Italian. At the same time, English church music and song traditions had a huge influence on Purcell’s music. So perhaps that’s the challenge: balancing this kind of crazy conglomeration of styles, so that Purcell’s unique voice can be heard.”

“Dido and Aeneas” calls for a large cast of characters, each of whom gets a bit of meaningful stage time, plus a fairly busy chorus. (This production has a chorus of eight people, with several from the Pegasus young artists program, Pegasus Rising). The opera moves at a fast clip, but all the parts are well proportioned, from the tiny overture to Dido’s death and the final chorus, which is so full of emotion that it seems like a huge finale — but it’s only about five minutes long.

“What I find most modern about the work,” says Stage Director Andrew Eggert, “is the compelling psychology of the two central protagonists. The innermost thoughts and feelings of the lovers Dido and Aeneas feel just as fresh and immediate to audiences today as they did well over 300 years ago.”

Fox describes the show as “a period production with modern touches.” Eggert, who has also directed works of Monteverdi, Cavalli, Handel, and Charpentier, says that this “Dido and Aeneas” is influenced by late 17th century art and architecture.

“The scenic design is a lavish period room interior, and as the audience comes into the theater, we want them to feel like guests in a baroque world where the spectacle will unfold,” he says. “This unit set is transformed with a variety of magical scenic and lighting elements to become all of the different locations of the story.”

Beattie and Eggert are also experienced in contemporary opera, as are some of the cast members, including mezzo-soprano Virginia Warnken, who will portray Dido. Fox thinks that contemporary and baroque music attract the same kind of musicians. “Both call for an extremely flexible voice and an ability to produce specific sounds and effects, along with an ability to improvise,” she says. “They offer the same intellectual challenges and require a curiosity and willingness to try new things.”

Because of the brevity of “Dido and Aeneas,” it will be preceded by a selection of vocal works

by Purcell, ending with a number titled “This Poet Sings the Trojan Wars.” The events in the opera precede the Trojan War by several years, but the song (sung by the production’s Aeneas, bass Jesse Blumberg) is still “the perfect lead-in to the story of Dido and Aeneas,” Fox says. “‘Dido’ is certainly the first great English opera; perhaps no one has set the English language more beautifully,” Beattie says. “It is as rich in emotional scope and accessibility as any opera ever written, whatever its length.”

INAUGURAL

PEACH BLUEGRASS FESTIVAL OPERA | ‘TOSCA’ A melodrama with plenty of melodies and plenty of drama — that’s Giacomo Puccini’s “Tosca,” which has been packing audiences in since 1900. Puccini’s operatic adaptation of a once-famous play by Victorien Sardou is full of romance, politics, and mayhem. The role of Floria Tosca has been the tempestuous diva vehicle of choice for star sopranos: Renata Tebaldi, Maria Callas, Leontyne Price, and many more. If the singers and conductor can turn up the heat far enough, “Tosca” is still one of the rip-roaring shows of the operatic repertoire. Finger Lakes Opera will present “Tosca” this weekend at its new home, the Canandaigua Academy Theater. Metropolitan Opera soprano Jennifer Rowley will take on Tosca; Armenian tenor Yeghishe Manucharyan is Tosca’s lover, Cavaradossi; and baritone Corey Crider plays the nastiest guy in opera, the Baron Scarpia. Finger Lakes Opera Music Director Gerard Floriano conducts.

ART | ‘BARRIER’ “Barrier” is a series of large portraits by artist Marisa Bruno that investigate the impact of time and change on the body, specifically through how surgeries, age, weathering, and injuries alter our skin. “Even if an injury or surgical cut doesn’t heal perfectly or wrinkles are permanently etched, it proves that our bodies are resilient and capable of shielding and repairing,” Bruno says in a provided statement. “The imperfections of the skin are something to be celebrated, as they reveal the skin’s function as a living barrier and record of life experiences.”

The exhibit will run through Thursday, August 24, at Create Art 4 Good (Hungerford Building, Suite 201, Door 5, 1115 East Main Street). For more information, visit createart4good.org or call 210-3161. — BY GRACIE PETERS rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 21

Buy a couch to match the art “Congruent” THROUGH AUGUST 26 AXOM GALLERY & EXHIBITION SPACE, 176 ANDERSON AVENUE, 2ND FLOOR TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, 11 A.M. TO 6 P.M.; THURSDAYS UNTIL 8 P.M. FREE | 232-6030; AXOMGALLERY.COM [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Axom Gallery has been temporarily transformed from a white walls art gallery into a supremely fun, impossibly chic series of staged living and working spaces. A beloved local creative couple — painter St. Monci and Hannah Betts of design studio Lives Styled — have taken over the room, filling it with their art and carefully arranged furniture that is sold through Axom Objects.

While it isn’t uncommon to sell furniture by arranging the showroom into staged areas to give potential customers ideas (Robin Muto keeps the entry room of Axom fully stocked and staged year-round), it’s a great 22 CITY AUGUST 9 - 15, 2017

idea to use the art as the starting point: match your couch to that painting you love, instead of the other way around.

“Congruent” is a collaborative installation, and combines St. Monci’s kinetic geometric paintings and the design sensibilities of both Monci and Betts.

Monci’s gouache, acrylic, and graphite paintings and Bett’s digital photographic prints are joined by simple wood-mounted neon lights designed by Monci.

Large planes of wood with simple painted rectangles are suspended at just-so angles from the ceiling, cleverly creating sectionedoff spaces around couches and chairs while maintaining a trendy openness to each space.

Paint has been applied similarly to the walls themselves, echoing the shapes and hues in Monci’s paintings and marking the borders of each living space.

The idea for this show came to Muto a few months ago, when she was considering what to do for Axom’s “Artful Living in the Summer” series, a recurring showcase of art and home goods.

“It’s the one time that we really try to blend the art and design,” she says. “We always try to do things in the store in a very curated fashion, but we don’t normally do that in the gallery.”

Aware of Monci and Betts’ strong sense of design, she considered approaching them. Then Muto attended the Memorial Art Gallery’s “Cocktails with Creatives” fundraising event, which included a group of artists showcasing their wares at tables. She says she learned that MAG Director Jonathan Binstock had wanted the artists to create more of an experience or an environment, instead of just showing their work.

St. Monci had built sort of an arbor, Muto says, made of U-shaped metal pieces that went down the table. “And from this structure, he was hanging his actual paintings,” she says.

Impressed with the presentation, Muto asked Monci and Betts if they’d like to do a show in the gallery at Axom. The couple had already been thinking of finding an apartment to style, she says, so the timing was perfect for everyone.

“I told them, if there are certain pieces you want me to order, to have in the show, I’ll get them for you,” Muto says. “Hannah really wanted the pink sofa.”

That plush, powder pink couch is in the first inviting section when you enter the gallery. Its blush hue is echoed onto the wall in paint, and picked up by pinks in two nearby Monci paintings.

Unexpected materials accent the stagings in unique ways. A rectangle of speckled vinyl and another of confetti-patterned foam — the kind that goes under carpets to make a more cushioned surface — poke from beneath the pink couch. Two long, wooden slats lean casually in the corner behind the couch. Bricks painted in the same pastel and warm earthy palette are lined up on the floor nearby.

A luxurious black leather arm chair becomes a throne in a surreal realm, surrounded by the sharp angles of floating wood and a sculptural end table.

These shapes and tones echo Monci’s paintings that they’re paired with. And Betts’ photographs read like miniature, tabletop versions of the staged spaces, featuring plants and sculpture and pieces of bright wood arranged at careful angles.

In a far corner, the staging consists of a paint-darkened wall; a simple, thin-legged stool; and a photo by Betts and painting

by Monci; elements of each echo in the environment — a looped leather strap tacked to the wall cradles a bit of Spanish moss, a bright orange blossom in the photo is picked up on a shard of color in Monci’s nearby painting and on the wall as well.

The balance of everything reads as effortlessly minimalist while color accents and angled forms provide a sense of movement and life. It’s pared down without getting stale.

Muto reviewed the brochures and fabric swatches with Monci and Betts about two months before the show. “Both of them were very keen on the vision for the show,” she says. “They have similar sensibilities when it comes to color.”

And there are lots and lots of succulents, which have become the necessary accessory for an Instagram-worthy room. Everything is for sale, from the paintings and photos to the furniture and the plants. Two of the accent pillows that Monci made sold to a visitor from Brooklyn who works in the financial district, Muto says.

The show is an effective method of spotlighting artistic talent while providing a vision of how investment pieces of furniture look within spaces. Muto says she’s interested in working with other artists in a similar fashion in the future.

“The Glass Castle” (PG-13), DIRECTED BY DESTIN DANIEL CRETTON OPENS FRIDAY, AUGUST 11

Director Destin Daniel Cretton’s 2013 film, “Short Term 12,” was a sensitive story of troubled youth, told in a way that felt emotionally honest without ever pandering.

He turned that tricky material into one of that year’s best films.

One of “Short Term 12’s” key strengths was Brie Larson’s fantastic lead performance, and so it makes sense that the filmmaker chose to reunite with the actor for “The Glass Castle,” another story about the remarkable resilience of children. The film is adapted from Jeannette Walls’ bestselling memoir about growing up with her dysfunctional family.

The daughter of free-spirited bohemians Rex (Woody Harrelson) and Rose Mary (Naomi Watts), Jeannette — along with her brother and two sisters — is given an unconventional upbringing, to say the least.

The family leads a nomadic existence, living off the grid and moving from one ramshackle house to another, staying only until Rex loses his job and the family has to pick up and move on. The kids get their share of daily life lessons,

as their father takes every opportunity to lecture them about the ills of society at large, but the family can often go days at a time without any food to eat. Although, somehow, Rex is always able to scrape together the money for a drink.

The children are often left to fend for themselves, exemplified in an early scene where 6-year-old Jeannette asks her mother for lunch.

But Rose Mary’s too busy with her art: “Do you want me to make you food that will last an hour or finish this painting that’ll last forever?”

Jeannette attempts to cook for herself, but stands too close to the stove and ends up in the hospital with severe burns over a large portion of her body. The injury comes to represent the physical as well as the mental scars of her childhood which will never fully heal.

It’s not every actor who would be able to

recover a character from a scene like that, and Watts’ spirited performance goes a long way in allowing us to sympathize with a woman who seems to enable Rex’s worst behavior. Rose Mary is a fascinating figure in Jeannette’s life, but one that we get frustratingly little insight into. That may be characteristic of Walls’ book as well, but there’s no reason Cretton and cowriter Andrew Lanham (“The Shack”) couldn’t have devoted some time to exploring her character a bit more.

Like the book, “The Glass Castle” takes its title from the solar-powered home Rex promises to build as soon as the family settles in the perfect location. Of course, they never seem to be able to find the right spot, and Rex is never quite able to follow through on his grand plans.

But Jeannette sticks by him even when most of

WITH WI THH SUPPORT SUPPOR SUUUPPORT PPP O R T FFRO FR FROM: FROM ROM: RO

her siblings have lost faith. Though eventually that sympathy is bound to run out.

Rex is an idealist gone to seed; his undeniable genius too often eclipsed by the demon of alcoholism. The film plays oddly coy with some of the darker aspects of the story, particularly Rex’s addictions and details of his own dark past growing up with a mother who was even more of a tyrant than he is.

Cretton jumps back and forth between Jeannette’s youth during the 1960’s and 70’s (where she’s played as a child by Chandler Head, then as a tween by gifted young actor Ella Anderson), and 1989, when she’s a perpetually power-suited adult living in Manhattan, working as a successful gossip columnist and engaged to bland financial analyst David (Max Greenfield). She appears happy, but a far cry from where she or her parents assumed she’d end up.

But the fraught relationship between Rex and Jeannette remains at the center of the story. Walls clearly has conflicted emotions around her upbringing and life with her father, but there’s a somewhat troubling sense from the film that it’s too forgiving of what was clearly abusive behavior. It’s odd coming from the filmmaker that brought us “Short Term 12”; abuse was a major theme in that movie, and Cretton was able to convey a deep empathy, but also rage at what those kids had been put through. It’s the second part that’s lacking here.

As Rex, Harrelson delivers an appropriately charismatic, showy performance. Larson gives Jeannette a soulful, wise-beyond-her-years intelligence, and it’s when she’s on screen that the film most successfully captures the conflict at the heart of the film. She’s torn between resenting her parents, but loving them deeply; try as she might, it’s impossible to cut ties completely. “The Glass Castle” is a movingly told story, wise about the ways our parents shape us into the adults we eventually become, both for better and for worse.

Works of art [ BONUS FEATURES ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

On the third Thursday of each month, Memorial Art Gallery holds a “DeTOUR,” a new, specially curated guided gallery tour tailored to a particular theme or topic. These tours examine specific works of art, dive into some lesser known stories about pieces in the MAG’s collection, and include art facts, trivia, and interactive activities.

August’s tour will be led by The Little Theatre’s public relations coordinator, Scott Pukos, as the institutions team up for “A Little DeTOUR.” The event will focus on the role that art plays in the movies, and will look at the artistic inspiration behind some wellknown films, a few artists in the collection who’ve found favor in Hollywood, and how art has influenced set design, costumes, lighting, and makeup. Plus, there will be a few tidbits about the history of The Little Theatre itself.

“A Little DeTOUR” will take place at the Memorial Art Gallery (500 University Avenue) on Thursday, August 17, beginning at 6 p.m. Tickets are $10; free for MAG members if space is available. Note: the tour is capped at 30 people. 276-8900; mag. rochester.edu/events/detours.

Coming attractions

The Rochester Association for Film Arts and Sciences will host an August networking event on Thursday, August 10, from 6:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m., at Comedy @ The Carlson (50 Carlson Road). The event will offer the opportunity for attendees to meet other local filmmakers, mingle, and discuss current film projects. Karaoke will follow the event at 9 p.m.

The ImageOut Film Festival’s 25th anniversary year continues with the buzzedabout Whitney Houston documentary “Whitney: Can I Be Me,” from acclaimed directors Nick Broomfield (“Kurt & Courtney,” “Tales of the Grim Sleeper”)

and Rudi Dolezal. The film will screen Thursday, August 10, 6:30 p.m., at The Little.

Admission is $4-$9.

The Dryden will screen David Lynch’s 1977 cult classic, “Eraserhead,” on Thursday, August 10, in honor of the film’s 40th anniversary. There will be an encore showing on Saturday, August 12. The most nightmarish depiction of early adulthood ever captured on celluloid, the film begs to be seen on the big screen. Then on Friday, August 11, see the brand-new documentary, “David Lynch: The Art Life,” which provides a peek into the enigmatic filmmaker’s life and craft.

All screenings begin at 7:30 p.m. General admission is $8; $6 for members; and $4 for students with ID. Rain sadly kept “Hidden Figures” from lifting off back in July, but Movies With a Downtown View has rescheduled the film for August 18 (replacing the previously announced “Hunt for the Wilderpeople”).

The free event opens at 6:30 p.m. in Martin Luther King Jr. Park at Manhattan Square (353 Court Street). Food and drink available for purchase from Neno’s, Stingray Sushifusion, Roc Brewing Co., and Eat Me Ice Cream, or attendees have the option to bring their own picnic. The movie will begin around 8:15 p.m.

Kali Maaa! This month’s Saturday Night Rewind selection is “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” on Saturday, August 19, 9:30 p.m., at The Little. SNR is a monthly series curated by The Little Theatre and Fright Rags, screening of classic genre films on 35 mm film.

The weather’s nice, so take the opportunity to enjoy outdoor movies while you still can, with free movies at the Highland Park Bowl. On Saturday, August 19, catch this year’s live-action “Beauty and the Beast,” starring Emma Watson and Dan Stevens.

Then on Saturday, August 26, take part in a little rebellion with “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.” Movies begin at dark. More information at monroecounty.gov/parks.

Friday, August 25, at 6:30 p.m., The Little will screen the indie comedy “Unleashed,”

Douglass. The showing will include a Skype Q&A with the film’s first assistant director (and Rochester native) John Morse along with director Finn Taylor. Admission is $4-$9.

Also on August 25, the Rochester Public Market will host the third annual Flicks on the Bricks “Bike-In Movie,” a free outdoor showing of a family-friendly bike-themed movie. This summer’s selection is the everpopular “E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.”

It’ll be the end of an era when Hyatt’s Classic Video (349 West Commercial Street) closes its doors for good at the end of the month. Opened in 1961 by owner Bob Hyatt, the community video store held strong through the rise and fall of Blockbuster Video and into the digital age. One of the last remaining rental shops in the area, Hyatt’s claim to fame has always been its selection of rare VHS. Take one last opportunity to support a Rochester staple before the shop’s final day on August 31.

Openings

“Annabelle: Creation,” “The Nut Job 2: Nutty

By Nature,” “The Glass Castle,” and “An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power.”

A Historically Significant Home 185 West Ave. At the turn of the 20th century, the far western side of the city of Rochester looked very different than it does today.

Neighborhoods like the 19th Ward were just starting develop, with a smattering of modest single-family houses mixed in with large family estates. But that was quickly changing.

In 1907, the time had come for the home at 185 West Avenue to rise from land that was once part of the large Danforth property, a rural estate that dates to the 1840s. In fact, the historic Danforth house still stands right across the street as an active, popular community center.

This home was one of the first to appear on the south side of the street. It was built for the family of Mr. J. Hicks Crippen, who owned a funeral parlor on East Main Street. Records indicate that Mr. Crippen’s wife, Alice, helped spearhead the design of this massive Colonial Revival. The Crippens clearly had affection for the stylish spaces and details of the home, as the property remained in the family until the 1960s. Today, the house still stands tall thanks to the loving care of its longtime current owner.

The exterior retains its original painted wood shingles, while many windows are highlighted with diamond-paned leaded glass.

Inside, the house has a natural dividing line: center side-by-side stairwells leading up to each side of the house. Towards the rear, the spacious kitchen would have been the domain of the family maid. It connects to an almost perfectly preserved butler’s pantry.

The various storage drawers and shelves are still in excellent condition. This space even

retains and repurposes a truly unique feature: the original ice box that the Crippens would have used to store perishables.

The family would have used the spaces in the front of the house for living and entertaining.

The spacious dining room, foyer, and parlor all retain elegant hardwood floors, varnished gumwood trim, and wooden ceiling beams.

Mrs. Crippen’s decision to have the main entrance face Hancock Street, rather than West Avenue, allows for an open flow to these spaces. A welcome addition in modern times, the current owner converted a closet space into a discreet first-floor powder room.

The combined rooms on the second floor and finished attic offer plenty of living space and possibility. Currently there are five total bedrooms and two full baths, with potential for the right owner to make one of Rochester’s true original homes a part of his or her personal history.

185 West Ave offers approximately 3,573 square feet of living space, plus a rare twocar garage, and is listed at $119,900. Contact Tammy Dostman of Howard Hanna Realtors at 585-429-1157 for more information.

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

The Threatened American Worker

A local chapter of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees in Battle Creek, Michigan, is butting heads with Western Michigan University this summer after the school brought in a goat crew to clean up an overgrown woodlot on campus, leaving union workers without jobs. The AFSCME’s grievance cites a collective bargaining agreement with WMU, but university officials counter that “the area is rife with poison ivy and other invasive species,” which are difficult for humans to remove. The 20-goat crew, rented from Munchers on Hooves in Coldwater, Michigan, is ahead of schedule in clearing a 15-acre area.

With Friends Like These ...

Robert Kanoff, 49, celebrated Independence Day in an unusual way: High on drugs, he was dropped off in his birthday suit at a Tempe, Arizona, Walmart by two people who thought it would be “funny to see him naked,” said police. There he walked around the store wearing only shoes and carrying methamphetamines.

Maricopa County sheriff’s officers caught up with him around 10 p.m. across the street from the store.

The Entrepreneurial Spirit First bikes, then cars ... now umbrellas. Maybe. Sharing E Umbrella hit the streets of 11 Chinese cities in April with more than 300,000 umbrellas for rent from subway and bus stations.

Unfortunately, the company’s founder, Zhao Shuping, didn’t provide instructions about returning the rentals after use, and most of the umbrellas have disappeared. Zhao noted his mistake, saying, “Umbrellas are different from bicycles. ... With an umbrella you need railings or a fence to hang it on.” He plans to replenish his stock with 30 million umbrellas nationwide by the end of the year.

Questionable Judgments

The Do Son Buffalo Fighting Festival, in which water buffalo are pitted against each other, has been a tradition in Hai Phong, Vietnam, since the 18th century.

But on July 1, buffalo trainer Dinh Xuan Huong, 46, met his doom when his own bull turned on him. The buffalo first knocked Dinh to the ground, then flipped him over its head, goring Dinh’s leg with its horn. Dinh later died at the Vietnam-Czech Friendship Hospital. Buffalo fighting was stopped in the country during the Vietnam War, but the fights resumed in 1990.

Under the Influence

Police in Slidell, Louisiana, stopped a “car full of drunks” on July 8 and arrested the driver for driving while intoxicated. The car’s passengers rode home in a taxi, but one of the women then drove back to the police station to bail out the driver. Slidell officers arrested the woman for DWI, and she joined her friend in jail. “Lesson of the day,” Slidell officers posted on their Facebook page: “Don’t drive drunk to a police station in order to bail out your drunk friend!”

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 30 ] [ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Set the stage and plan to party.

Your engaging behavior and flirtatious ways will encourage potential partners to vie for your attention. Enjoy the moment, and engage in as many social functions as you can fit into your schedule. Eliminate anyone you are considering who is having trouble keeping up.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your judgment will be off when it comes to affairs of the heart.

Don’t misread the effect someone has on you. The person who raises your blood pressure and makes you angry will also be the one who brings out the best in you. Be willing to compromise.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Relationships have to be based on trust and loyalty.

You’ll be inclined to attract players or be a player this week. If you catch yourself exaggerating or you think someone is boasting too much, take a pass and start again. It’s important to begin new relationships with honesty.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): A good imagination and relaying stories and memories will make you popular amongst your peers. If someone stands out as particularly inviting, don’t waste time; make plans to get to know this person better. It’s OK to make the first move.

LEO (July 23-Aug 22): Your desire to settle down will make you appealing to someone who is just as interested as you are in a lifestyle change. Test the waters and see if you fit in other aspects of life. A question-andanswer dinner will reveal both your hearts’ desires.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll instinctively know when you meet the right partner. Your heart will beat fast, and spending time with this person without anyone else around will give you the opportunity to make your intentions perfectly clear.

Share your feelings and start making plans for the future.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Play fair. If you aren’t interested in someone, make your feelings clear. Leading a lover on until someone new comes along will not be conducive to finding true love. Don’t be lethargic; make a commitment or move on and clear a passageway for a partner who is better suited.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ll attract someone who is perfect for you, but if you become jealous or overly possessive you will lose the chance to find out just how well you match up. Take it easy, curb your need to own the object of your desire, and you will find true love.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Someone trying to win your heart will mislead you. Ask questions and find out how much the person knows about the activities, hobbies and lifestyle that fill your day and contribute to your routine. Being able to share the same pastimes can make or break your relationship.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your desire to be in a meaningful relationship will prompt you to put up with qualities or characteristics that someone pursuing you possesses.

Consider how tedious this will become as time passes. Take stock of your life and your relationships, and if the shoe

doesn’t fit, don’t wear it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Take a stance and share future plans with someone you want to become a part of your life. The shift you are willing to make to the way or where you live will reveal how serious you are. Be sure to extend your thoughts regarding what you expect in return.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t let your emotions deceive you. Your motives for staying or wanting to be in a relationship with someone will be very telling. Be honest with yourself first, and then relay your true feelings to the person you’ve been hanging out with. Don’t settle for less than you deserve.
