Rochester’s police union to sue over PAB
I’m dismayed and saddened that Mike Mazzeo, President of the Rochester Locust Club has chosen once again to adopt an adversarial and obstructive stance with regard to providing effective police accountability and transparency to the larger community which his organization serves. Mr. Mazzeo seems to be oblivious to the mutual benefits of collaboration, cooperation, and compromise which form the basis of productive collective bargaining and sound municipal governance. By persisting in his unproductive approach, Mr. Mazzeo abdicates his mandate to provide effective leadership for his fellow officers and for the wider community of citizens who they serve. If Mr. Mazzeo continues his obstinate and inflexible position in the face of overwhelming community support, he is likely to find that he has become irrelevant as times change around him. LEE LONDON, ROCHESTER

discipline our police officers. If the union representing the police know the law as well as the union that represents city school teachers, then this proposition will be found to be illegal. If and when that happens, I believe that the credibility of the Police Accountability Board Alliance executive team that pushed this proposal will be seriously damaged. How can an alliance that can’t get the basic legality of their own proposal right be entrusted with disciplining the police? Anyone who cannot tell the difference between what people may sincerely desire and what is actually legal has no business disciplining the police. All people who have a complaint with the police should receive a fair hearing by people who understand the basics of the law. JOE LAKE, ROCHESTER
What happens to Cheryl Dinolfo?
Given Cheryl Dinolfo’s recent defeat at the polls, one is given to wonder whether the Rochester Regional Transit Service will be providing her with a well-paid executive position as it did for Maggie Brooks following her retirement as county executive. Brooks retired from RTS this year after stints as vice president of strategic initiatives and executive vice president for customer and community engagement since 2016. The positions were newly created and carried annual salaries of $114,000 and $150,000, respectively, plus the opportunity to earn bonuses. MICHAEL NIGHAN, ROCHESTER

EDITOR'S NOTEBOOK | BY DAVID ANDREATTA
Breaking free from the Independence Party The Monroe County Board of Elections has yet to certify the results of last week’s election, but one thing is certain: The Independence Party line barely made a dent in most of the races in which it surfaced. That’s something to celebrate. Make no mistake, the two-party system is outdated. Polls show most Americans want a major third party. Heck, throw in a fourth or a fifth if they stand for something. Therein lies the problem with the Independence Party. The party brands itself as “a centrist and pragmatic political party” that supports candidates who operate outside the influence of traditional political party hierarchies and special interests. But its actions suggest it stands for little more than its own survival; an existence its leaders perpetuate by endorsing any candidate they think can win. The party has endorsed candidates as disparate as Governor Andrew Cuomo, a liberal Democrat, and former House Representative Chris Collins, a conservative Republican. They operate outside traditional political party hierarchies and special interests? There are 20,450 registered Independence Party voters in Monroe County. They account for 4.5 percent of all voters and, together, make the party the third largest in the county. The next largest, the Conservative Party, has 7,850 enrollees. But there’s reason to believe most Independence Party members don’t even know they’re members. Many who sign up with the party think they’re enrolling as an “independent” – with a small ‘i’ – and are unaffiliated with any party. That was what the New York Daily News found in 2012 when it interviewed 200 party members and found 169 of them — 85 percent — thought they had registered as “independent.” The party survives on confusion. It is a byproduct of New York’s archaic system of socalled “fusion voting,” which allows a candidate’s name to appear on several party lines. Part of the problem is the party’s misleading name. State law forbids party names from including terms like “American,” “United States,” “National,” and “Empire State,” because they imply associations that are deceiving. Legislation to add “Independence” to that list has been floated in Albany but gone nowhere because too many politicians covet the line. On Election Day, 119 candidates for offices in Monroe County – from the county executive to town clerks and village trustees – had the
Independence Party line in addition to a major party designation. The line wasn’t a factor in at least 115 of those races. In Rush, the Democratic slate for supervisor and town board won narrowly with the Independence Party line being good for more than the margin of victory. In Penfield, the line appears to have made the difference for a Republican town board candidate. Recall that both candidates for Monroe County executive – incumbent Cheryl Dinolfo and her challenger Adam Bello – went to court over the Independence Party designation. Neither sought the line because they’re “Independents” or “independents” or “Independence.” She’s a Republican. He’s a Democrat. They wanted the line to bolster their visibility on the ballot and appeal to voters who identify as “independent.” They squared off in a primary that Dinolfo won. It didn’t pay off for her in the general election. Although she garnered more votes on the line than she did when she won her first term in 2015, the weight of the line this year accounted for a meager 3 percent of her votes compared to 6 percent four years ago. Unfortunately, the Independence Party will be a presence until at least 2022. Any party needs 50,000 votes in a governor’s race to stay on the ballot for the next four years, and the Independence Party got it when Gov. Andrew Cuomo accepted its endorsement in 2018. He could have rejected it and starved the party. But he wanted the line. Any sign that the line’s influence is waning is a good thing, though. It could mean voters are waking up from their slumber party and realizing the Independence Party is distorting the political process. Next time you see the line on the ballot, ignore it and borrow a line from Pat Paulsen, the late comedian and founder of the satirical Straight Talking American Government (S.T.A.G.) Party: “I’ve upped my standards. Now, up yours.” David Andreatta is CITY’s editor. He can be reached at dandreatta@rochester-citynews.com. rochestercitynewspaper.com

[ NEWS IN BRIEF ]
Work starts on La Marketa
La Marketa’s origins go back to neighborhood brainstorming meetings in the late 1970s. Now, after decades of discussion, planning, and near-starts, the project is finally under construction. The open-air marketplace is expected to house retail, green space and events on what’s now an empty lot on North Clinton Avenue near St. Michael’s Church. Officials broke ground on it last Thursday. Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren said La Marketa would not have happened without the persistence of supporters. “I’m not going to go into the long details of how long it took us to get this project done. I’m just going to tell the community thank you. Thank you for never giving up,” said Warren. Ida Perez, a neighborhood leader who lives next to the property, said she’s excited about the possibilities. “ By this time next year, I can stand in front of my house and see this wonderful plaza,” said Perez. “The mayor knows I’m a big believer in small wins for our

residents, but this is actually a huge win for the entire community.” Mayor Warren expects the project to be done by mid-winter with a ribbon cutting next year.
Fringe Fest sees record attendance
More than 100,000 people attended the 2019 Rochester Fringe Festival, which set a new record, organizers said. The attendance estimate is 25 percent higher than last year’s 78,00 figure, organizers said. They also said ticket sales were up, but provided no figures for 2019 or past years. This past year’s festival was also the longest at 12 days. There were 667 performances in 25 venues through the festival’s duration, organizers said. Of those performances, 219 were free. The 2020 Fringe Festival will also span 12 days, running from Tuesday, September 15, through Saturday, September 26, according to organizers. Show submissions will open in February.

LIBRARIES | BY JEREMY MOULE
County libraries boycott e-book publisher
A new policy from a major e-book publisher means that library patrons will have a harder time checking out some titles. FILE PHOTO
The Monroe County Library System won’t be buying e-books from a major publisher for the time being. The library system — and through it, all of the county’s public libraries — have joined a boycott of e-books from Macmillan Publishers and its imprints, officials said in a press release. Library systems large and small are refusing to buy the publisher’s books in protest of its decision to limit e-book purchases by libraries. The company is allowing libraries to buy only one copy of a new e-book for the first eight weeks of its release. Macmillan’s top executives have said limiting library purchases of e-books should help increase consumer sales. Previously, the Monroe County Library System would purchase several copies of new titles so patrons wouldn’t have to wait to check them out. Macmillan’s new policy means the entire library system would have only single copies of new e-books to share among the 744,344 residents of Monroe
County, according to a press release from the library system. Patty Uttaro, director of the Monroe County Library System and the Rochester Public Library, addressed this policy in a recent letter to the editor published in CITY. “In some instances, this embargo will force readers to wait a year or more to borrow an e-book published by Macmillan, whose authors include J.D. Robb, Liane Moriarty, Bill O’Reilly, and Louise Penny,” Uttaro wrote. “E-books are likely to become the primary way people read in the future. Actions like Macmillan’s creates a class of readers who benefit from early access to information because they can afford to buy,” she wrote. The press release announcing the boycott directs people to ebooksforall.org for more information and for a petition requesting that Macmillan reverse its decision. Jeremy Moule is CITY’s news editor.

“The shooter in our situation did not become a white supremacist overnight, he did not become that evil overnight...He didn’t come out of a vaccuum” - PARDEEP KALEKA
SOCIETY | BY JEREMY MOULE
Taking responsibility for hate Why do we hate? That’s the very weighty, broad question framing an upcoming talk by Pardeep Kaleka, a Sikh leader from Milwaukee, and Arno Michaelis, one of the founders of a notorious Midwestern white power skinhead gang who’s spent the past decade-plus speaking out against racism and hatred. Kaleka’s father, a highly-respected Sikh leader in Milwaukee, was killed in an August 5, 2012, attack on the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin. The shooter was a member of the gang Michaelis founded. The pair will highlight the idea that people who have been hurt sometimes, in turn, hurt other people, Kaleka said. They’ll talk about “how people and communities heal from the hurt that we either have gone through or inflicted onto the world,” he said. The event, “Why Do We Hate?” will serve as the launch of the Levine Center to End Hate, which was founded about a year ago to amplify anti-bias work happening across Greater Rochester. It takes place at 7 p.m. on November 21 at the Lyric Theatre, 440 East Avenue. Tickets are $10 and are available at endhateroc.org. Center organizers want to use the event to initiate other programs promoting conversation around racism — including the elements of white supremacy that are ingrained in our culture and systems —
and other forms of hate, including sexism, homophobia, and anti-Semitism. “The whole reason the Levine Center came about is because of the climate that we’re living in now where there really is just such an increase in expressions of hate and hate crimes and hate speech and violence,” said Karen Elam, the center’s director. “They stand against that.” Kaleka said he and Michaelis will talk about their personal experiences and how their “worlds collided.” Kaleka contacted Michaelis after his father’s death, as he was trying to make sense of what causes a person to commit a radical act of violence like that of the temple shooter. He learned that hate is often about rejection. People scorn society because they feel like society has rejected them. “The shooter in our situation did not become a white supremacist overnight, he did not become that evil overnight...He didn’t come out of a vaccuum,” Kaleka said. Michaelis has said that as a white power skinhead, he attacked and seriously hurt people just because of their skin color or perceived sexual orientation. In several accounts, he’s traced his path as a child in an alcoholic family who responded to his home life by lashing out at his peers, initiating a cycle that made him more violent and filled him with hatred.

Those feelings spiraled as he entered the white power movement and dissipated after distancing himself from it, which he did after he became a parent. As for what to do about hate, whether subtle and unconscious or overt and extreme, there’s no one answer, Kaleka said. But he and Michaelis will challenge people at the event to examine their own lives and attitudes. They want people to understand that, when they leave, they have a responsibility to question not only “how we hate” and their own prejudices, “but more importantly, how we create a more loving, nurturing, caring, empathetic, culture,” Kaleka said.
People have a tendency to live in neighborhoods of like-minded people, and to surround themselves with people who look like them, worship like them, and dress like them, he said. But we grow and benefit when we surround ourselves with people who are different from us and do not necessarily agree with us, he said. At the same time, he said, nobody should condone white supremacy or hatred, either. “We need to create a society where we invite ourselves to be lovingly challenged,” Kaleka said.

HE WON. What does Adam Bello do now? BY DAVID ANDREATTA | PHOTOS BY JACOB WALSH
Adam Bello appeared to float across the ballroom of the Hyatt Regency Rochester. Buoyed by a throng of cheering supporters, he had just been whisked from the podium from which he declared victory in the race for Monroe County executive. The 39-year-old Democrat had made history by snapping 27 years of Republican rule in the office and delivered an acceptance speech effusive in its promise of a county government that would be “a force for good, a convener of ideas, and a catalyst for unity.” “That’s the government you deserve, and I cannot wait to get to work to make it happen for you,” Bello concluded to thunderous applause. Now, chants of “Adam! Adam! Adam!” serenaded him as he appeared to glide toward the ballroom exit ringed by admirers, as though he were royalty being held aloft on a litter carried by his closest confidants. Then gravity hit. “Frankly, we got out of the ballroom and turned to each other and said, ‘What are we doing tomorrow?’” said one those confidants, Irondequoit Supervisor David Seeley.

NOVEMBER 13 - 19, 2019
Seeley’s description recalled the closing scene of the 1972 dark comedy film “The Candidate,” in which a first-time Democratic contender for Senate played by Robert Redford improbably defeats an entrenched Republican incumbent. At the end, Redford’s character asks his campaign manager amid a crush of supporters, “What do we do now?” The question contained a hint of dread and went unanswered, as his voice was drowned out by the adoring crowd and the credits rolled. In the nearly half-century since that film, the line has become an inescapable cliché of Election Day spoils because of its inherent truth: No newly elected official has a firm grasp on what lies ahead. Most of their energy has been put into winning, not governing. While Bello himself has not asked the question publicly, members of his party and observers of politics and government in Monroe County have been asking it in the week since his historic election. “I think Adam and his inner circle are looking at each other and saying, ‘Holy smokes, what are we going to do here?’” said Dave Garretson, the former chair of the Monroe County Democratic Committee.
THE INNER CIRCLE HUNKERS DOWN The next morning, a small cadre of Bello’s closest associates hunkered down in an office at Monroe County Democratic Committee headquarters on University Avenue to hash out a strategy. There was Rep. Joe Morelle, who has known Bello since the latter was a boy, and whom Bello regards as his political mentor. There was Seeley, who, like Bello, was a former adviser to Morelle, and won his first election on the ticket with Bello in Irondequoit in 2013. Bello was elected supervisor that year and Seeley to the town council. There was Jeff McCann, a politically shrewd, under-the-radar Democrat-turnedRepublican-turned-Democrat whose resume includes stints as the Democratic town leader in Greece, a Monroe County legislator as a Republican, and deputy county clerk under Bello. For his part, Bello, a married father of two young children, was spending time with his family, reachable on a phone that wouldn’t stop ringing. What lay before them were challenges big and small that no local Democrat has tackled in nearly three decades – namely forming a county government in about 55 days. “One of the things we did not do a whole lot of, partly because of superstition and not wanting to get ahead of ourselves, was we didn’t spend a whole lot of time preplanning this,” Morelle said. People who sat in on the morning-after meeting described it as a brainstorming session of more questions than answers. How could they best communicate with the outgoing administration to extract the information they need to make informed decisions? Would the heads of each department of government be willing to prepare transition memos? What major initiatives are under way? How would they identify red flags? “It’s true that in the lead-up to Election Day we did not spend a lot of time thinking about the next day because I am not one to be presumptuous about how elections are going to turn out,” Bello said in an interview Monday. “However,” he added, “on Election Night and on the day after Election Day, we started the process of mapping out what a transition would look like, the timeline that we would follow and to make sure we had a process.” Bello said he expected to introduce as early as this week members of his transition team, whom he described as people not in government but “out in the community working.” rochestercitynewspaper.com

A VOID OF INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE Tapping institutional knowledge within the Democratic Party was a near impossibility because there were so few people who possessed it. The last and only Democratic county executive, Thomas Frey, who was elected to a single term in 1987, died two years ago. Clay Osborne, who was the deputy county executive for operations under Frey, recalled the two-month stretch between Frey’s election and assuming office as a period marked by guesswork and high anxiety for both the incoming and outgoing administrations. Frey defeated Lucien Morin, a Republican who had been at the helm of county government for 14 years, in a divisive campaign. Consequently, the heads of many key departments expected to lose their jobs and refused to cooperate with Frey’s transition team. “I would say there was not a lot of transparency at the time in terms of getting what we needed from the previous administration,” Osborne said. “We had to create from whole cloth, with very little information, some of the decisions we had to make.” Bello said he spoke with the outgoing county executive, Cheryl Dinolfo twice in the week since the election and that he expected a “smooth transition.” “We’re professionals,” he said. “I’m going to approach this as if everybody involved wants what’s best for Monroe County. Elections are one thing, government is another.” Theoretically, that is true. But in Monroe County it is sometimes difficult to separate politics from government. For instance, Brayton Connard, the county’s director of human resources – a position from which tabs can be kept on employees – was an unabashed supporter of Dinolfo and her predecessor, Maggie Brooks, whose campaigns he helped manage.
POLICY, POLITICS, AND PATRONAGE Monroe County employs about 3,000 people. Most of them are civil servants whose jobs are permanent regardless of who controls the executive office. But the heads of the county’s dozen or so departments that are critical to everyday life – from Human Services to Transportation and Planning and Development – are appointed by the county executive. 8 CITY
NOVEMBER 13 - 19, 2019
Under them are scores of provisional jobs that have been filled over the years with patronage hires – people who may or may not have been qualified for their positions but were chosen for their ties and loyalty to the county executive or the Republican Party. These two tiers – perhaps as many as 150 employees – are the people who control county government. The other 2,850 people make it work. “You have 30 years of Republican administrations and a lot of the organizational chart (in those top two tiers) didn’t change too much over the last decade,” Seeley said. Osborne said there are three approaches to the top two tiers an incoming administration can take: Retain them, clean house, or employ a mix of both that keeps workers who will buy in to the direction set by the new guard and weeds out the rest. “I would say the biggest challenge was balancing political commitments and operational commitments,” Osborne said. “Sometimes those things align and sometimes they don’t.” The Frey administration is remembered for being strong operationally and weak politically. Frey admitted as much before his death. He lasted just four years in office, but he pushed through services and projects on which Monroe County now relies. Frey oversaw a massive expansion of the Greater Rochester International

Airport, introduced the county’s recycling program, initiated construction of the Mill Seat Landfill in Riga, and persuaded Monroe Community College to open a downtown Rochester campus. All of that came with a price: A tax hike that cost Frey re-election. “We tried to do a lot of good stuff in that four years,” Frey told the Democrat and Chronicle a few months before he died. “I
think of it as the last time the county tried to do anything, except cut taxes.”
A BLACK BOX In the waning days of the campaign, County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo released a budget for the upcoming fiscal year that included a reduction in the property tax rate of 10 cents per $1,000 in valuation. If adopted, it would be the second such tax rate cut in as many years. Bello was critical of the cut, noting that the budget’s tax levy – the amount the county anticipated collecting – was projected to rise 2.4 percent. The pattern followed that of the current year, in which the tax levy rose by 3 percent, despite a tax rate cut. While bond and credit rating agencies have upgraded the county’s statuses, the county remains on the state comptroller’s list of 25 local governments under fiscal stress, although the degree of that designation has improved in recent years. Democrats in the County Legislature, where they are in the minority, have lamented for years that they have been kept in the dark on the county’s true fiscal condition. Observe a committee meeting and it is easy to see why. Attempts by Democrats to extract the simplest details of proposed legislation are often met with resistance by the majority and the executive branch. Sometimes, they have to resort to invoking the Freedom of Information
law. Other times, they are presented with the information with too little time to digest it before having to make a decision on it. “The way the Republicans have run government over the last decades, it’s a black box,” said Garretson, the former head of the county Democratic party. Among the concerns in the Bello camp is that his administration doesn’t know what it will find upon being sworn in. Shortly after he was appointed county clerk – to fill a vacancy left by Dinolfo when she became county executive – Bello discovered paperwork intended to protect the privacy of some 20,000 pistol permit holders had never been processed. On the campaign trail, Bello spoke openly about his suspicions about the county’s financial health. He said he would order an audit of the entire operation upon being elected. “As far as the county’s finances, there’s been a number of mixed messages they’ve been giving us over the years,” he said. “There was an announcement of a budget surplus a couple of years ago, yet we have trouble coming up with funding to keep commitments to retiree health care benefits.”
A DIVIDED GOVERNMENT Bello will assume office with a divided government. While Democrats picked up seats in the County Legislature, Republicans hold a slim majority of 15 to 14. A Bello administration will presumably be friendlier to Democrats who request information. But how it will manage to govern, and how it will be received by a Republican majority, remains to be seen. “I don’t think the legislature functions quite the right way,” Bello said. “It’s very split along party lines, to the point that legislation proposed by Democrats doesn’t even get voted on.” He said he anticipated working closely with the Republican majority. “We have to,” he said. “I can’t accomplish everything I want to do unless I have a legislature that wants to accomplish those goals, and I assume the legislature has things it wants to accomplish.” Some of his goals include focusing on services for children and families, particularly Child Protective Services and child care subsidies — both troubled areas in the Dinolfo administration — and the county’s Early Intervention program for children at high risk of developmental delays. “The politics will take care of themselves,” Bello said. “I’m not worried about my reelection or future makeup of the County Legislature. I’m worried about getting something done.” The last time the county had a divided government was a single year – 1992 – after Frey

had been ousted by Robert King, a Republican. The year was fraught with infighting among the Democratic majority. Two Democratic legislators began caucusing with the Republicans, and another defected altogether. When King claimed to have discovered a $42 million budget deficit created by his predecessor, Democrats complained he wouldn’t produce specifics behind the number and refused to cooperate with his legislative priorities. By that summer, residents packed the legislative chamber to demand an end to what they viewed as a stalemate brought on by political posturing. The Democrats would lose their majority within months. They have yet to regain it. Seeley called the divided government “a good opportunity” for Bello. “Some people might say, ‘How are you ever going to get anything done?’” Seeley asked. “He’ll have to be able to work with another party to govern. His interest is doing that outreach to form a coalition government and not see the opposition as the opposition but a partner in government.”
A GROUNDBREAKER BOUND BY TRADITION Bello will assume the office of county executive after more than two decades of loyal, quiet service to the Monroe County Democratic Party, making him a groundbreaker who is very much bound by tradition. In his race against Dinolfo, Bello positioned himself as a moderate, a middleof-the road choice for a hyper-partisan county that ran like a patronage mill whose nepotism, prior to Dinolfo’s administration at least, fed scandal. Recall that the husband of Dinolfo’s predecessor, Maggie Brooks, was convicted in a bid-rigging scheme involving a $212 million county contract. The former director of the Greater Rochester International Airport, David Damelio, who was fired for spending tens of thousands of public dollars on pricey cigars for his personal use, had been the Penfield Republican Party leader. But Bello’s service to his own party runs deep, too. Morelle recalled being a junior Assembly member in Albany the first time he met Bello.
It was 1992, and Morelle was running for a second term. Bello showed up at a fundraiser with his parents wearing a suit. He was around 12 years old, as Morelle recalled, and sat at the front desk where his job was to ensure attendees signed in. Bello’s history and his ascension to the most powerful position in Monroe County raises two obvious questions. The first is what priority he will place on building an administration that stretches beyond the cadre of white men that make up his inner circle. McCann, the deputy county clerk, will almost certainly occupy a prominent place in a Bello administration. Morelle will remain a Congressman, and Seeley said he wants to stay supervising Irondequoit. “To do that, you obviously have to start looking for people that look like the community,” Morelle said. “We have to identify talented people while being respectful of the diversity of the community.” The second question is what effect his election will have on the power structure within the county Democratic Party. A rule of thumb in county politics of late is that the most powerful local elected official in a party is also its de facto head. Republicans witnessed that firsthand in 2013 when Brooks, as county executive, orchestrated the ouster of the late Republican county kingmaker Stephen Minarik. The Monroe County Democratic Committee has endured some turmoil since Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren upset the party dynamic in 2013 with a primary victory over the incumbent, Tom Richards. Her win widened a schism in the party that had been simmering between an oldguard establishment of mostly white people and an emerging group of candidates and operatives, many of whom were people of color, with loyalty to the mayor. To that end, Warren has arguably more influence on the makeup of the Monroe County Democratic Committee than perhaps anyone else in recent years. The most obvious example of her influence was the installation of her campaign manager, Brittaney Wells, as chair of the committee last year. Wells, who was the first AfricanAmerican to lead the local party, called it “a new day in the Monroe County Democratic Committee” and promised to build bridges, a tacit nod to the internal strife. Bello downplayed his influence in the party, saying Wells has done “a great job” as the committee chair, and calling himself, Morelle, and Warren “a team.” “I like the team we have and I view this as teamwork,” he said.

Gun law is seminar topic
The Monroe County Bar Association will hold a continuing legal education presentation about New York’s “Red Flag” law — also known as the extreme risk protection order law — on November 15. The continuing legal education program runs from 12:15 to 2 p.m. in the Bar Association’s Rubin Center for Education, 5th Floor, 1 West Main Street. There are varying registration fees and attorneys can earn professional practice credits. Information: mcba. org, 546-1817. The Red Flag law prevents people who show signs that they might be
a threat to themselves or others from purchasing or possessing a firearm. It’ll test the collective ability of courts, lawyers, school officials, families, and friends of determining when people pose a risk. The attorneys and other experts on the panel will talk about the law’s implications for police, school districts, and courts. They’ll also discuss mental health and behavioral threat assessment techniques and science, changes in orders of protection, implications for pistol permit holders and those seeking renewals, and other topics.
How architects shaped Rochester
The Landmark Society of Western New York’s Young Urban Preservationists will present a talk on local architects, and their buildings, that shaped the City
of Rochester. It will take place at 6 p.m. on Thursday, November 14, at The Little Theatre, 240 East Avenue. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at landmarksociety.org. The presentation will discuss the designers responsible for City Hall, the Liberty Pole, some houses, and other structures. It’ll touch on well-known architects such as Claude Bragdon as well as lesser known figures like Olga Valvano and Rochester’s first African American architect, Thomas Boyde. The presentation is open to the public and continuing education credits will be available for architects through AIA Rochester. The Young Urban Preservationists describe themselves as a “group of youngish folks interested in preservation and community revitalization.”

[ PREVIEW ] BY CHRIS THOMPSON
I woke up last Monday with a headache that started from the base of my collarbone and snaked up my neck to nestle its head right behind my left eye. Turning my head right made the serpent constrict even more and was a painful jolt throughout the day. I felt like I was in store for an extraordinarily bad week. But just as I was about to hide from civilization, I was invited to the
Wednesday night preview event for the new fall menu at Veneto Wood Fired Pizza & Pasta. Owners Donald and Julie Swartz hosted an intimate 18-person dinner featuring a five-course meal paired with selections from their vast wine menu. I’m no doctor, but I felt this was precisely what would ease my pain. Veneto is a staple of the East End, and despite the high turnaround of neighboring businesses, it’s been around for about 18 years, and it claims to be the original wood fired pizzeria in town. It’s a cozy place that has plenty of seating next to the window wall facing East Avenue, great for enjoying a meal and people-watching on a balmy evening. The entire dining area resembles a library or a parlor in the type of dwelling that’s large enough to house at least three generations of a family under one roof. Behind the bar that also serves as a divider between the dining area and the open kitchen, a brick oven roars in the corner with stacks of cut wood piled neatly against it. Veneto is a family restaurant that feels like someone’s home. I’ve been going there since I first came into town, mostly because it is a great “first date” restaurant — I’ve had precious few second dates there, but that’s mostly on me, not Veneto. I arrived to the preview event a bit early because I was a little slower-going due to the neck pain. Donald greeted me with a smile and handshake, and as I was sitting down, Julie had one of the servers hand me a glass of their house white, L’Orso, made by Fairport’s Casa Larga. I’m usually a dry red person, but I enjoyed this blend that hints of a Pinot Grigio and was mild enough for a wine named for bears. I finished my glass while chatting with the Swartzes, and the rest of the guests — all local dining writers and bloggers — filed in and took their seats at our table. Our first course was the Utica Greens ($11, add sausage for $2), a take on the Italian classic, topped with toasted bread crumbs. Cherry peppers and banana peppers are braised with the escarole in Vento’s version, giving it a hint-of-spicy aftertaste, but nothing too overpowering. Next up was a roasted beet salad ($13), which includes a mix of arugula, beets, and a light mustard vinaigrette, topped with goat cheese and pistachios — I could have eaten a whole bowl of this salad myself — paired with another glass of L’Orso. The combination of the salad and the wine and conversing with other guests did wonders to help me forget about my excruciating neck pain.
What helped even more was the cheddar, bacon, and broccoli pizza ($15). This is a garlic-and-oil based pizza topped with a cheddar and mozzarella cheese blend, and thanks to its time in the wood fire oven, it was the perfect combination of crispy exterior giving way to a warm, soft interior. The pizza was paired with a dry red blend called Vignamaggio Il Morino that tastes like roasted almonds and raspberries, but is still as dry as a red can be. With three of five courses down, I was wondering how they would top what they’d already presented. A brief palate cleanser came in the form of house-made lemon gelato, which had such a subtle flavor, I initially thought it was vanilla. The citrusy taste doesn’t hit you as much as it softly dances on your tongue. I may be odd, but I prefer this to an overabundance of sugary, artificial fruit flavor. Our fourth course was Penne alla Norma: pasta tossed with a pomodoro sauce and fried eggplant ($17). I was hooked from the first whiff of fresh basil and other herbs, and the explosion of flavor packed in each bite made me want to be a little bit more selfish at our sharing table. The Swartzes paired the penne dish with their house red, Il Toro, an oakaged dry red also made by Casa Larga. Last was the Chicken Orro Bianco ($19), which featured large medallions of grilled chicken, sliced sausage, and roasted wild mushrooms atop a bed of fettuccine in a butter parmesan sauce. This dish tasted like autumn. The creamy sauce gave the feeling of being buried under a heavy wool blanket in front of a fireplace, and the mushrooms gave it an earthy hint. I could almost smell a forest full of freshly fallen leaves. A lot of the guests liked this dish the most, but with a name like “White Gold Chicken,” I am not surprised. The dish was paired with Fossacolle from Brunello di Montalcino. I would usually pair a white wine with a chicken dish, but this red was soft and almost creamy, and complemented the sauce superbly. Chefs Chris Mayer and Dan Haines created a culinary fall tapestry with their autumn menu, and I left Veneto with a full belly and warm feeling on the first truly cold day of the season. Did the evening of cuisine and conversation cure me of my headache? Nah, I took two ibuprofens and slept it off. But it definitely took my mind off of it.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 17 BOP SHOP RECORDS, 1460 MONROE AVENUE 8 P.M. | $15 ADVANCE, $20 AT DOOR BOPSHOP.COM; JOANSHELLEY.NET [ FOLK ] Every once in a while, an artist like Joan Shelley comes along and takes the folk music tradition on a wondrous ride. Coming of age in Kentucky, Shelley found herself equally immersed in American roots music and recordings from the British folk revival of the ‘60s and ‘70s. You can hear all of those influences in her gorgeous singing and contemporary songwriting. In the past she’s been produced by Jeff Tweedy, but her most recent album, “Like the River Loves the Sea,” was recorded in Reykjavík, Iceland with local musicians, adding another dimension. When she takes the stage at the Bop Shop, she’ll be joined by the superb fingerpicking guitarist, Nathan Salsburg. — BY RON NETSKY
Jack Klatt and Band SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16 ABILENE BAR & LOUNGE, 153 LIBERTY POLE WAY 9 P.M. | $10 | ABILENEBARANDLOUNGE.COM JACKKLATT.COM [ ROOTS ROCK ] Jack Klatt doesn’t just write clever songs that shadow assorted genres — he adopts their parlance, their tone, and their idiosyncratic appeal. Consequently, this wily Minnesotan can lay claim to virtually anything that comes out, be it country, swing, rockabilly, or even the blues. But it’s Klatt’s deceptively simple approach to the acoustic guitar, as he elicits a beauteous thump, trill, and twang that’ll send ya. You’ll see. — FRANK DE BLASE

New Found Glory FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15 ANTHOLOGY, 336 EAST AVENUE 7 P.M. | $25 ADVANCE, $29 DAY OF SHOW | AGES 16 AND OVER ANTHOLOGYLIVE.COM; NEWFOUNDGLORY.COM [ POP-PUNK ] New Found Glory pounces on Anthology during a run of shows on its fall tour, celebrating a pop-punk aesthetic which skated along with preeminent status in indie music markets and youth culture throughout the 2000’s. With top singles such as “All Down Hill from Here” and My Friends Over You,” the Florida band has been giving voice to youthfulness, restlessness, and romanticism since 1997. Lately, the group has been putting together albums of cover songs from films like “Shrek 2,” “Frozen,” “Rocky,” “Twilight,” and “Back to the Future.” Hawthorne Heights, Free Throw, and Jetty Bones are also on the bill.
Rochester expat Tommy Grills stands ominous, lean, and mean — with nothing but a big guitar between him and the rest of the world. Grills’s name may sound familiar to some blues aficionados; he’s the big brother of hometown bluesman Steve Grills. On Tommy Grills’ new, Kenny Neal-produced CD, “The Hard Side of the Blues,” Grills’s hard guitar battles for attention with his strident vocal style. The album features covers of songs from a nice blend of traditional cats such as Little Walter, Jimmy Rogers, Sonny Boy Williamson, and Willie Dixon. But where it gets hard — and I don’t mean difficult — is when Grills leans in and rips through his own stuff, full of electricity and sweaty desire. Ten cuts of the blues in full gallop. — BY FRANK DE BLASE
Longwave ‘IF WE EVER LIVE FOREVER’ BODAN KUMA RECORDINGS LONGWAVE.BANDCAMP.COM
After a 10-year hiatus, Longwave — the NYCbased indie rock darlings with Rochester roots — return to the limelight with what could be considered their best record yet. Sure, “If We Ever Live Forever” possesses that indie concern and emotive response to everything. But there is plenty of muscle steaming up from inside. And it’s catchy as hell. Big guitars grind atmospheric, full of language-less prose and rage. Songs like “Before You Disappear” and “Dreamers Float Away” play around with time signatures, coming off large and positively brilliant. Ten years is a long time, but Longwave is back, strong as ever for its old fans and the legions of new fans that “If We Ever Live Forever” will surely earn them. Simply a great record. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Music Squirrel Nut Zippers had a big hit with “Hell,” off the album “Hot.” With that record, the band toured the world with its rag-tag, Tin Pan Alley strain that came on riotously loose and hopelessly celebratory — like a band on a sinking boat. Squirrel Nut Zippers broke up in 2000 and Mathus returned to Mississippi, but he continued touring and writing relentlessly. Released last April, “Incinerator” is the result of the man’s fire and drive. It’s the blues, and yet it’s more than the blues, what with its spiritual complexity and Mathus’s ultra-unflappable cool. We had speaks with Mathus briefly between one of his jaunts upon the endless black ribbon, to see what he’s up to and to get his take on all things Mathus. An edited transcript follows. CITY: What are you currently working on? Jimbo Mathus: I’m mixing a new Zippers record,
working on a duo record with Andrew Bird, touring “Incinerator,” and re-releasing Squirrel Nut Zippers’ “Christmas Caravan” on vinyl this holiday season. What is one thing you know to be true?
Time waits for no man. Your music is a mix. What’s in there?
I’m steeped in the Southern musical tradition since birth and passionate about learning all I can about the entire American musical experience. I’m fiercely devoted to continuing extreme creative concoctions. “I’m steeped in the Southern musical tradition since birth and passionate about learning all I can about the entire American musical experience,” Mathus says.

Ancestor worship Jimbo Mathus & Incinerator THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21 ABILENE BAR & LOUNGE, 153 LIBERTY POLE WAY 8 P.M. | $10 ADVANCE, $15 DAY OF SHOW | ABILENEBARANDLOUNGE.COM; THEREALJIMBOMATHUS.COM [ INTERVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE
Guitarist Jimbo Mathus’s latest long-player, the aptly titled “Incinerator,” is a righteous romp through the swamp. It haunts to the peal of the Southern Gothic bell. It’s a Dixie-fried barn-burner, and Mathus fiddles while it burns. 14 CITY NOVEMBER 13 - 19, 2019
Mississippi’s Mathus has been grinding out material at a prolific rate. He has recorded with and led a number of bands, releasing 14 albums in all. He has created music with Jimbo Mathus and Knockdown South, Jimbo Mathus and His Knockdown Society, Jimbo Mathus and Tri-State Coalition (with Jim and Luther Dickinson), and various inceptions thereof. Mathus salutes the South he comes from — his South, with its history, deepseeded tradition, and mystery. But it’s as a founding member of the Squirrel Nut Zippers that Jimbo Mathus became a household name. It was 1993, and swing was in full swing. Everyone was jumpin’, jivin’, and wailin’.
“Incinerator” is a wild ride. What determined how the sound came out? How did it reveal itself to you?
It is a meditation on life and death, through my perspective, recorded and produced by a group of very simpatico cohorts. How do you keep the Deep South in your music?
I live it every day of my life. Talking, interacting, and reading. What is something you’ve tried lately that you haven’t done before?
Played bluegrass with Susanna Hoffs. What’s something you haven’t done yet?
Slayed the wooly mammoth. How did your time with Squirrel Nut Zippers serve to shape and change your music? Or was it the other way around?
Zippers are a totally unique concoction of mine that really plays by no normal rules and encompasses a large amount of time and research. That’s a too-complex question to answer briefly.
PSST. Is it worth a thousand words? Check our art reviews from Rebecca Rafferty.
You play regularly at Morgan Freeman’s Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale. What’s that like? What’s he like?
Morgan is a fellow Mississippian, and being such, we share a very similar background, lexicon, and worldview. You’ve also said songwriting is a form of ancestor worship. That’s beautiful. What do you mean?
I realized here at age 52 after decades of writing, recording, touring, and producing, that the real value of my best work is memorializing people in my life. Many now passed into other realms; “Incinerator” is like a cemetery with tombstones, people, and events — memorialized to go and pay your respects to. How’s it all gonna end? What’ll they say about Jimbo Mathus when he’s gone?
He fought hard. Frank De Blase is CITY’s music writer. He can be reached at frank@rochester-citynews.com.

‘A Show for Joe’ BY JEFF SPEVAK
/
ART
It was 2005, and Joe Dady had been rushed to the hospital. It was a ruptured aorta. The situation was dire. The heart of this big-hearted guy was close to bursting. He recovered, and The Dady Brothers played on. “His spirituality just exponentially increased,” John says. Until earlier this year. Diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia, bone marrow transplants from John didn’t work. Joe was 61 when he died last May. The huge church where the services were held was standing-room only. John decided a wake wouldn’t be fair. What, people standing for three hours, just to shake John’s hand and give him a brief hug? John decided: “Let’s just make Joe’s wake a show of his music, his music that he wrote, music that he put a stamp on, that he was known for. And I just started making a list of his songs, then whittled it down to 30 or so, and started thinking, who could do these songs best?” Ultimately, the people who could do it best are the people who Joe Dady loved, over 40 years of playing music. That’s how Saturday’s sold-out “A Show for Joe” at Hochstein Performance Hall has expanded to include 53 musicians. It’s a benefit for a yearly scholarship in Joe’s name, to be awarded to a kid who otherwise couldn’t go to Hochstein. A scholarship that will go on long after, as John says, we’re all gone. Joe Dady himself had no children. He was briefly married, but music was his life partner. John and Joe were Rochester natives who first played together as 5- and 6-year-old kids with plastic Beatles guitars, and estimated they went on to play 7,000 shows over some 45 years. “We were business partners, it was a musical partnership, it was an artistic collaboration,” John says. It was all that, and to know each other so well, I know I’ll never experience that again.” Jeff Spevak is WXXI’s arts & life editor and reporter. He can be reached at jspevak@wxxi.org.

BLUES-JAZZ | THE OCCASIONAL SAINTS
P.V. Nunes tickles the ivories in the quintessential barrelhouse piano style that drifts outta joints in The Big Easy nightly. His band The Occasional Saints is bawdy and naughty, like angels with day jobs, doing the devil’s work. Penned by Nunes, this rockin’ septet’s music is virtually all original — with a subtle boogie and a not-so-subtle swing. It’ll make your backbone slip. It’ll remind you a little of Mose Allison. It’ll get you coming or going. You won’t know whether to dance or duck. You might have to do both.

PROGRESSIVE ROCK | BIG SOMETHING
A soulful progressive rock sextet from Burlington, North Carolina, Big Something has been captivating audiences with its magnetic flow and improvisational chemistry since 2009; the band just celebrated its eighth year hosting the annual summer music festival and campout, “The Big What?” Big Something performs a spacey mixture of rock, funk, hip-hop, and jazz. Think glistening synth timbres over tightly knit rock and hiphop grooves, with crisp electric guitar and jazzy sax solos sprinkled in. Frontman Nick MacDaniels has a smoky vocal delivery whether he’s rapping or singing, while the other players meld together in a dense atmosphere of sound waves. Big Something will perform with special guests Ocular Panther on Sunday, November 17, 9 p.m. at Photo City Improv, 543 Atlantic Avenue. $12.

Nikhar Kishnani, Marina Shay, and Ezra Barnes in Geva’s production of “Queen.” PHOTO BY RON HEERKENS JR. PHOTOGRAPHY
Hive-minded “Queen” REVIEWED SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9 CONTINUES THROUGH NOVEMBER 24 GEVA THEATRE CENTER FIELDING STAGE, 75 WOODBURY BOULEVARD TICKETS START AT $31 | 232-4382, GEVATHEATRE.ORG [ REVIEW ] BY LEAH STACY
A disappearing bee population, Monsanto, and academia take the stage in the first production of Geva’s 2019-2020 Fielding Studio Series, “Queen,” which continues through November 24. This new play by Madhuri Shekar had its world premiere in April 2017 at Victory Gardens in Chicago, and has since won Outstanding Original Full Length Script at the New York Innovative Theatre Awards (2019) and debuted in Cupertino, Seattle, and New York City. The plot follows Sanam Shah (Nikhaar Kishnani) and Ariel Spiegel (Marina Shay), PhD candidates who have been working on 18 CITY NOVEMBER 13 - 19, 2019
a groundbreaking set of research surrounding the disappearing bee population for the last seven years. A few days before they are scheduled to present their final data at a large academic conference and their professor, Dr. Philip Hayes (Ezra Barnes), is set to accept an award and announce their publication in the world’s biggest science journal, Sanam discovers an error in the data — a situation which also happens right before her arranged first date with Arvind Patel (Nik Sadhnani). For the next 90 minutes, the audience is taken on a dramatic ride through higher ed, relationships, career sacrifices, and the choice between what’s easy and what’s worth fighting against. Geva’s recently appointed Director of Engagement and Associate Artistic Director Pirronne Yousefzadeh (who directed “The Royale,” “Heartland,” and “The Lake Effect” in previous seasons) guides the intimate cast through this fast-paced production. The rapid scene changes and witty dialogue are reminiscent of beehive activity, with a constant flow and give-and-take between cast members.
Even with no intermission, the show passes quickly, engaging the audience throughout. The cast is comprised of characters with powerful personalities, which makes each têteà-tête quite entertaining. Shekar’s dialogue is sharp, and all four actors perform with effortless, strong chemistry. Most impressive is Kishnani, who is part of both a friendship and a blossoming romance in the production. Her performance is endearing, capturing the focus and awkward tendencies of a lifelong academic while giving glimpses into a soft, kind heart. Opposite Kishnani as her best friend and lab partner is Shay, who eloquently plays an ambitious, competitive single mother with a fiery passion for justice. Sadhnani charms as the suave playboy who’s trying to settle down and start a family, his bravado masking a more vulnerable side. As professor and director of the lab, Barnes is imposing and, perhaps, has the most surprising character arc. Several intimate scenes have the potential to create uncomfortable moments, but are instead touching because the actors had a chance to work with local intimacy coordinator J.C.
Meyer-Crosby and establish healthy ways for exploring the relationships onstage. An aesthetically busy — but pleasing — scenic design by Reid Thompson features mathematical equations scribbled over three standing walls; the simple set transforms into a living room, office, lab, restaurant, backyard, and hotel room in hardly any time due to several pocket doors in the walls for moving furniture in and out, a sliding glass wall, and a fold-down bed to represent the hotel room. Lighting design by Reza Behjat sets specific tones, playing off the tension of each scene with moody blues and bright whites. “Queen” is not a typical play. Usually, creatives steer clear of academics and math, but shows like this one, along with past Broadway hits “Proof” and “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time,” prove that there is a place for analytically-minded stories, especially when they include relevant issues. It’s also immensely refreshing to find a plot about an Indian character (two, even), and read a playbill featuring an overwhelmingly female cast and crew. “Queen” is a fun, thought-provoking 90 minutes that brought the audience to its feet on Saturday, and will, no doubt, continue to delight for the remainder of the run.

FILM | ‘EMPOWERMENT IN THE ARCHIVE’
Older generations’ tendency to underestimate and even ridicule the younger ones is nothing new, and their bad takes are often ignorant of youths’ struggles, potential, and successes alike. Since 2003, Rochester Teen Empowerment has focused on bolstering area youth through employment and leadership opportunities. Teens involved in that group are the curators of this weekend’s “Empowerment in the Archive,” the most recent event in Visual Studies Workshop’s Community Curators film screening series. The program, “Empowerment in the Archive,” will include a screening of films drawn from the VSW Collection, focusing on how teens are represented in the media, followed by a discussion moderated by members of Rochester Teen Empowerment. “Empowerment in the Archive” takes place Saturday, November 16, 2 to 4 p.m. at Visual Studies Workshop’s Auditorium, 31 Prince Street. Admission is $5, free to VSW members. 442-8676; vsw.org. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

ART | ‘POLITICS & PHOTOGRAPHY’
COMEDY | ‘OH WATTA NIGHT!’
When we think of photography and the political realm, documentation of events is usually what comes to mind. But some who work in the photographic arts use images to go beyond documentation to question the state of things, to subvert the state of things, and to envision a better world. This is the thesis behind a new photography exhibit at Flower City Arts Center, nationally juried by artist and former FCAC artist-in-residence Stephanie Mercedes, whose work has been exhibited and performed in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Switzerland, and the US. Participating artists include photographers from Maryland and Texas, and local artists including Karen Faris, Joseph Paladino, Donald Hyatt, and current artist-in-residence Fernando Muller (pictured).
Rochester sketch comedy and improv group Polite Ink (PI) will again partner with Willow Domestic Violence Center to present “Oh Watta Night!,” the third annual benefit event. Blending the styles of “Whose Line is it Anyway?” and “Saturday Night Live,” PI presents a PG-rated evening of spontaneity, singing, dancing, dynamic characters, and audience participation. The event benefits Willow, which each year provides services to more than 7,500 domestic violence survivors and outreach prevention education in the Greater Rochester Area. Red Tie Variety will be the opening act, and audience members can join the cast and crew at 80W after the show.
“Politics & Photography” continues through Saturday, December 14, at Flower City Arts Center, 713 Monroe Avenue. Monday through Wednesday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Thursday, 10 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, noon to 5 p.m. Free. 271-5920; rochesterarts.org. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Matt Damon and Christian Bale in “Ford v Ferrari.” PHOTO COURTESY 20TH CENTURY FOX
Souped up and ready to go “Ford v Ferrari” (PG-13), DIRECTED BY JAMES MANGOLD OPENS FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15 [ PREVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
James Mangold’s crowd-pleasing competitive racing flick “Ford v Ferrari” doesn’t do much to break the mold of the traditional sports picture, but there’s enough wit and warmth to make for a simple, well-crafted piece of entertainment. Balancing out the plot’s general
22 CITY NOVEMBER 13 - 19, 2019
familiarity are some thrillingly-staged racing scenes, two excellent lead performances from Matt Damon and Christian Bale, and the light touch of a script that places an emphasis on humor and a bit of heart. As the title suggests, the story centers on the rivalry between two titans of auto manufacturing: the sturdy American Ford Motor Company and the sportier, Italy-based Ferrari. Though the competitive clash between those corporations is the plot’s catalyst, the heart of the film is the friendship between two men: legendary American car designer Carroll
Shelby (Damon, projecting affable confidence) and hotheaded British-born race car driver Ken Miles (Bale). The pair are enlisted in 1966 by Henry Ford II (the always fantastic Tracy Letts) — who’s hungry for an opportunity to step out from his father’s shadow and shake up his company’s stodgy reputation — to build a car fast enough for the Ford Motor Company to overtake those of Enzo Ferrari at the world’s oldest and most prestigious sports car race, France’s 24 Hours of Le Mans. It’s an event that Ferrari had long dominated, and Ford
is looking for a little revenge after his deal to purchase the Italian company falls through. Miles was a former British military commander turned daredevil race car driver. Shelby was a racer whose career stalled out due to health issues, before finding a second act tinkering under the hoods of cars instead of racing them. Together the two men used their task to fulfill their own shared dreams of racing glory and in the process made history, transforming the industry of auto racing forever. Along the way, they must navigate constant meddling from Ford and his soulless corporate yes men (the most notable embodied by a cartoonish Josh Lucas) while also getting some minor support by Ford’s then GM Lee Iacocca (Jon Bernthal, getting his most substantial role in ages). Their task sets the stage for a David-versusGoliath story, if you can accept a gargantuan corporation like Ford Motors as anything other than Goliath. Things can get dicey when a glossy, big-budget studio film attempts to adopt anti-corporate messaging, but the script, written by Jez and John-Henry Butterworth (“Edge of Tomorrow,” “Spectre”) and Jason Keller (“Escape Plan”) is clever and swift-moving enough that it works in spite of itself. Bale and Damon dial up the movie star magnetism to play two big personalities, and it’s to Mangold’s credit that he knows to simply step back and let them go. The story might have benefitted from developing the emotional core of their relationship a bit more, but their dynamic is always a delight to watch as their characters work toward their goal and occasionally clash. Every moment they’re together on screen is pure pleasure. An extended version of this preview is online at rochestercitynewspaper.com. Adam Lubitow is a freelance film writer for CITY.

That this Supplemental Summons is being filed pursuant to an order of the court dated September 24, 2019. NOTICE-YOU ARE IN DANGER OF LOSING YOUR HOME – If you do not respond to this summons and complaint by serving a copy of the answer on the attorney for the mortgage company who filed this foreclosure proceeding against you and filing the answer with the court, a default judgment may be entered and you can lose your home. Speak to an attorney or go to the court where your case is pending for further information on how to answer the summons and protect your property. Sending a payment to the mortgage company will not stop the foreclosure action. YOU MUST RESPOND BY SERVING A COPY OF THE ANSWER ON THE ATTORNEY FOR THE PLAINTIFF (MORTGAGE COMPANY) AND FILING THE ANSWER WITH THE COURT. HELP FOR HOMEOWNERS IN FORECLOSURE; New York State law requires that we send you this notice about the foreclosure process. Please read it carefully. SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT You are in danger of losing your home. If you fail to respond to the Summons and Complaint in this Foreclosure Action, you may lose your home. Please read the Summons and Complaint carefully. You should
immediately contact an attorney of your local legal aid office to obtain advice on how to protect yourself. SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. In addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid office, there are government agencies and non-profit organizations that you may contact for information about possible options, including trying to work with your lender during this process. To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained by the New York State Department of Financial Services’ at 1-800-269-0990 or visit the Department’s website at http://www.dfs. ny.gov. FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services. We are attempting to collect a debt. Any information obtained will be used for that purpose. The foregoing summons is served upon you by publication pursuant to an order of the Honorable J. Scott Odorisi, J.S.C. dated September 24, 2019. The object of this action is to foreclose a mortgage and covering the premises known as 356 Roycroft Drive, Rochester, NY 14621 located at Section 091.830 Block: 0001 and Lot 081.000 Dated October 7, 2019 and Filed: October 10, 2019 Pincus Law Group, PLLC Attorney for Plaintiff, By: George J.
