Not our children, not our problem
WHEW! We can now all breathe a sigh of relief regarding the current illegalchild problem. After hearing about the Fed’s initial investigation of the possible use of local buildings to temporarily house these kids, we all jumped to the conclusion that thousands of kids would be dumped on our communities at our expense. Luckily, it was decided that these building did not meet the Feds’ needs. We all agreed that something should be done, but being good hard-working New York taxpayers, we decided instead to point fingers at who was to blame for this situation while knowing that we could go to the beach, (assuming we could find a place to park), bury our heads in the sand, and let another community assist in solving this immediate crisis.

Larry Glazer and the future of downtown
Larry Glazer talks of expanding the definition of downtown beyond the walls of the Inner Loop (“The Patron Saint of Downtown,” News) – concurrent with a Business Investment District proposal that in essence focuses upon the little Midtown section of Main Street, and ignores (as have so many over the 2 CITY

years) Rochester’s ‘Inner City,’ the Clinton-JosephHudson Avenue corridors. Go Larry, and pooh on the BID proposal as written – which pointedly ignores the blighted and poverty-stricken area that sits but a mere few hundred yards north of Mr. Glazer’s projects. It has taken us four years, but the Joseph Avenue Business Association has spearheaded a nowcompleted Vision Plan for the corridor. Drive us toward the end of the summer and see our banners hanging prettily from the telephone poles, decorated bike racks, four murals from the Wall Art Therapy program, a new bus shelter – and more to come. Shop us for products and foods that can’t be purchased elsewhere in Rochester – and experience an area that, although perhaps poor, is full of life and living human beings, music, gaiety, talent, and fun. Expand the BID proposal to include the area north of Main Street to Avenue D – follow Larry Glazer’s advice – an area that boasts far more city businesses than does Main Street-Downtown, and enhance the shopping and living experience for us all. Expanding the definition of Downtown, and improving the development throughout, only serves to strengthen the core, and thus strengthen the region. NEIL R. SCHEIER, M.D.

An optimist among naysayers: what a breath of fresh air (“Downtown’s Patron Saint”). Thank you for refreshing the minds of Greater Rochester of the incredible central cities in America. Rochester’s potential can be seen 60 miles to the west. Your understanding of risk (which our region is often averse to) remains an important component of
change. Downtown has left the starting gate of a new future; let’s hope the crowds cheer and join in the race. I certainly will! STEPHEN KARL
Patron Saint of downtown? Seriously? Could this interview be any more one-sided? When I saw the cover of City Newspaper I was stunned. It is hard to get the true story out of corporations, but I think it is time for developers to pay their own way rather than sucking up our diminishing resources. There is nothing in this piece about all the money that Buckingham Properties has taken from the city, county, and state. There is nothing about the purchase of valuable real estate from the city for pennies on the dollar, if that. Nothing about the failed job development that caused Buckingham Properties to have tax incentives taken away by New York State. Most companies don’t hire new employees when they move; they just shift them around from place to place and get tax breaks. Fair and balanced article? I think not. DOROTHY PAIGE
It’s very disappointing that Mr. Glazer subscribes to the fallacy that parking in suburban areas is “free.” It’s not free; it’s just bundled into the cost of the development. If tenants or residents or employees of suburban development had to pay the $2,500 to $3,500 land and construction costs per space for surface parking lots, the thinking on “free” parking might be very different. It’s very disheartening to hear Mr. Glazer say that without parking “you have almost nothing to give people.” That’s an extremely pessimistic view of the city, in my opinion. Without parking you still have the architecture, art, culture, streets, parks, history, and community of the city, things that don’t exist
to the same degree in autooriented suburban areas with “free” parking. Parking may be, as Mr. Glazer says, “a fact of life” here and now. But unless progressive developers seek to change that and help nudge the market in a different direction by offering mobility choices (unbundled parking costs, developer or employer-paid transit passes, bicycle storage rooms and shower facilities, car-sharing arrangements, etc.), this community will perpetuate the vicious cycle of more parking, leading to streets that people don’t want to walk down, leading to more people driving and demanding parking at the front door. Downtown becomes nothing more than a handful of nicely rehabbed buildings appended to parking garages. Some of Mr. Glazer’s apparent views on downtown reminded me of a conversation I once had with a real estate broker who said: “I get calls from clients all the time that want to be downtown. They just want cheap, convenient parking.” Well, then, those clients don’t really want to be downtown. They say they do, but they really have no clue about how real urban places truly function. That mentality is frustratingly pervasive in Rochester. People say they want downtown to succeed, but when it comes down to the details and the sacrifices they might have to make, like maybe taking the bus, or parking a few blocks away from their destination, or interacting with people who might not be the same class, race, or mental health status as you, people from this region just get lazy and find the McMansions of the P towns and the office parks of Victor too easy.

Music rising?
Ms. Towler, every year you indeed do comment on
how the Jazz Fest gives us a glimpse of what the city could be (Urban Journal: “Downtown Rising?”). There may be a connection to this anecdote: Over the last decade or so, many of my fellow musicians in Rochester have noted that the music scene has picked up. We all work a lot more than we used to (15 or 20 years ago). Maybe some Rochesterians have learned that live music is really fun and they want to support it more often than once a year? Maybe fewer suburban people are afraid of “the city” than they used to be? I’m probably naive in saying this, but if the jazz fest gives us a glimpse of what we could be, why weep about our lack of Fortune 500 companies? We have one of the most musical cities in the country. Is it possible that re-branding and investing in Rochester as a music city, rather than a tech and financial city, could be the path to Rochester fully realizing herself? Another related note: The Rochester school district (with the help of the Rochester Education Foundation) has been investing heavily in the musical education of its students. If that trend continues, perhaps all of Rochester’s residents will get a taste of how music can transform individuals and communities. ALAN MURPHY
Rochester is already a music city (training, education, and new-music testing ground). However, there are no major record labels in Rochester and not enough music venues of mid-size and larger to make Rochester a Music City like Nashville, Los Angeles, or New York City. If I had a lot of money, I would not risk it on anything but medical, service, info tech., manufacturing, and green technology businesses. CRM 135790

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
The riots’ aftermath: 50 years and counting In the early and mid-1960’s, the top news in this country was often African Americans’ struggle for civil rights. Marches and lunch-counter sit-ins; Freedom Rides; Ku Klux Klan violence; FBI spying; protesters branded like cattle in a Mississippi prison; the murders of Medgar Evers, Martin Luther King Jr., and others: that was America 50 years ago. Nearly all of those events took place in the South, where officially sanctioned discrimination kept black Americans segregated in separate schools, separate neighborhoods, separate occupations, separate restrooms and hotels and bus seats and restaurants. But while liberal Northerners traveled south to join the protests – and some lost their lives there – racism and discrimination were by no means limited to the states of the former Confederacy. And in 1964, the impoverished, overcrowded cores of Rochester, Philadelphia, New York, and other cities erupted in riots. Since then, Americans have passed the Voting Rights Act and the Fair Housing Act, founded Head Start to provide early education for poor children, created numerous anti-poverty programs, and elected black mayors, legislators, governors, and a president. But those successes can seem almost an aberration. In Rochester and many other American cities, poverty and unemployment among African Americans are at stunning levels. Despite decades of education reform programs, most AfricanAmerican children in Rochester and many other American cities leave school so poorly educated that they have virtually no hope of getting a good job. We have Brown v. Board of Education and the Fair Housing Act, but schools and neighborhoods in Monroe County and many other regions of the country are as segregated as any region in the South in the 1960’s. On a trip South visiting family earlier this month, Bill and I spent an afternoon in the Civil Rights Museum in Memphis. Created adjacent to and inside the Lorraine Motel, where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, the museum traces the experience of African Americans from slavery through the Civil War, Reconstruction, the civil rights struggles of the 1950’s and 1960’s, and the Black Power movement, to today.
Schools and neighborhoods in Monroe County are as segregated as any region in the South in the 1960’s. Touring the museum is a richly educational, intense, emotionally draining experience. And it is impossible to take it all in – to read of the atrocities of slavery, see the videos of protesters being beaten at lunch counters and in marches, watch water from fire hoses driving young people against a wall, read news reports of the children killed in the bombing of the Birmingham church, see the balcony where King was shot – and not be deeply troubled. And just as troubling as we near the 50th anniversary of the Rochester riots: the realization that despite the Voting Rights Act, the Civil Rights Act, Brown, and all the other efforts, the high-poverty neighborhoods of Rochester and many other cities are still in crisis. And we continue to lose generation after generation of Americans. Racism – and the discrimination, violence, and poverty it has spawned – still dog this country. And there are consequences, not just for the individuals trapped in the poverty and kept back by the racism, but also for the larger community. There are consequences, just as there were in the 1960’s. None of us, on our own, can turn this around. We need real change, and real leadership, of the kind that Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights leaders – and Lyndon Johnson – showed. And it is hard to be optimistic, given the hostility of so many Americans. But surely we can deal with the problems on our own little patch of earth. Rochester is a small enough community that we should be able to come up with real solutions and take care of our own. Little efforts aren’t enough. It will take doing hard things, as Mark Hare’s cover story this week makes clear. But surely, after 50 years, it’s time to put together a community-wide effort and make a start.

only requirement. Students receive instruction almost daily during the summer, and they meet three times a week during the school year. RocMusic is not intended to replace music instruction in city schools, says Jamal Rossi, dean of the Eastman’s Howard Hanson Institute for American Music. The program strengthens and supports the district’s efforts, he says. Many students can’t afford private lessons or an instrument, Rossi says, so the program fills a void. Learning to play the viola through RocMusic has transformed Douglas Rodriguez, 12, says his mother, Christine Rodriguez. “It’s given him a new confidence and his grades have improved dramatically,” she says. Rossi says the goal is to expand RocMusic to a second location, depending on the availability of funding. More information, www.esm. rochester.edu/rocmusic/

Task force members will review rental property fees and fines, the village’s approach to code enforcement, and potential changes to rental inspection programs. They’ll also examine approaches for handling properties with serious recurring problems.
HOUSING | BY JEREMY MOULE
Brockport task force to tackle housing The Village of Brockport has a long, complicated history with its rental properties. The issue heats up during the periodic clashes between village officials and landlords over property maintenance and occupancy issues. Brockport officials have taken steps to rein in some of the village’s most problematic properties and landlords over the last few years, however. They’ve begun requiring landlords to register their apartments, for example. And in recent months, they’ve beefed up the village’s code enforcement office. But officials say they want to take a more holistic approach to village housing issues, and they’re putting together a Housing Task Force to lead the way. The village board is searching for six residents to serve on the nine-member body. The other members will be a member of the village board, a member of the Planning Board, and the code enforcement officer. Rental properties make up a growing segment of the village’s housing, says Mayor Margay Blackman. And much of the task force’s charge deals with issues specific to Brockport’s 1,600-plus rental units; many occupied by SUNY College at Brockport students.

Task force members will review rental property fees and fines, the village’s approach to code enforcement, and potential changes to rental inspection programs, Blackman says. They’ll also examine approaches for handling properties with serious recurring problems, she says. But the task force isn’t meant to be all stick; village officials say they want some carrot in there, too. So it’ll also be responsible for reviewing village assessment practices, as well as researching potential incentive programs to encourage owners to invest in their properties. And the task force will also look for ways to boost owner occupancy in the village. One of its responsibilities will be to research potential incentives for property owners who convert apartment houses into single-family residences. Officials say they also want the task force to look for ways to foster the formation of neighborhood associations and possibly the creation of a Main Street LLC. The latter is an approach that’s been used successfully in the Village of Perry in Wyoming County. Under the Main Street LLC concept, community members band together to form a for-profit company that buys

and rehabilitates properties. Ideally, the shareholders make some direct return on their investment. But the effort is really about ensuring that people with longterm interests can work together for the community’s vitality. The approach could help the village with another problem that the task force will examine: vacant and abandoned properties. Blackman says there are about 36 in the village. “It’s noticeable,” she says. “There are vacant properties on a number of streets and some of them have been there for some time.”
PRESERVATION | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN
Church revival Rochester developer Marvin Maye wants to tear down a historic church and vacant house on West Main Street and put up an unspecified food store. If that sounds familiar, it’s because Maye has tried this before — but instead of a food store, he wanted to build a Dollar General. The previous application for 660 to 668 West Main fell flat following vigorous opposition from area residents, the Landmark Society, and the Susan B. Anthony Neighborhood Association. The new application, for a 17,922-square-foot food store, will likely face a similar rocky road. Maye’s request will be heard by the city’s Zoning Board on Thursday, July 17. The section of the meeting that includes Maye’s application begins at 11:30 a.m. in City Council chambers at City Hall, 30 Church Street. The church is on the city’s list of historic properties and the property adjoins the Susan B. Anthony Preservation District. Much revitalization has happened in the area, and Maye’s critics say that Maye’s project would be a poor fit. “We’re back to square one — doing it all over again,” says Dawn Noto, president of the Susan B. Anthony Neighborhood Association. “Nothing has changed; it really would not fit into the character of the historic district there.” Maye has said that the church has deteriorated beyond saving.

STILL HAU The riots that forever changed Rochester began on July 24, 1964, at a Friday night street dance on Joseph Avenue. A chaperone asked two police officers for help with an intoxicated young man. The officers arrested the man, but a crowd surrounded them to prevent the police from taking him into custody. The officers called for backup and more police arrived, including the K-9 unit — a source of tension for years, with blacks insisting that the dogs were unnecessary and that using them to facilitate an arrest was inhumane. The dogs may have been the match tossed into the dry tinder of years of frustration and anger. Rocks and bottles were thrown and before long, store windows were being shattered. A mob swept through the Seventh Ward, looting stores and rushing past peacemakers such as Mildred Johnson, who ran a neighborhood unemployment service and tried to calm the crowd. Police Chief William Lombard, who was popular in the black community, walked alone into the angry crowd and pleaded for reason. The rioters ignored him, too, and then overturned his car and set it on fire. The rioting, or revolt as it is sometimes called, continued until morning despite the presence of hundreds of police officers. On Saturday night, the disturbance reignited and spread to the Third Ward, with rioters looting stores along Clarissa Street, Jefferson Avenue, and South Plymouth Avenue. On Sunday afternoon, 1,500 National Guard troops arrived to help restore order. When the smoke lifted, property damage topped $1 million, 350 people were injured, and 800 had been arrested. But the lifechanging consequence of the riots was not property damage or physical injury, or even the four tragic deaths, but the fear the city sucked deep into its lungs — a fear that has shaped the community that Rochester has become. In the decade after the riots, “whole neighborhoods seemed to just pack up and move across the canal into Gates or into northeast Greece,” says Paul Haney, a Monroe County legislator and a former member of Rochester City Council.

Not that all was well before the riots, of course. White Rochesterians had actually begun their exodus years earlier. Some no doubt feared an increasingly black city, but others merely took advantage of accessible FHA mortgages designed to aid the construction of suburban neighborhoods. The riots accelerated the exodus, in other words, but were not the only cause. And though Rochester’s black population tripled to more than 25,000 during the 1950’s, the newcomers did not have the high-level skills needed for employment in the manufacturing sector, and the city’s iconic industries did far too little to recruit and train them for jobs. Black unemployment was over 10 percent. Meanwhile, thousands of jobs went unfilled and unemployment for whites hovered below 2 percent. The city’s leaders seemed oblivious to the changing demographics and the pressure cooker that unemployment and overcrowded housing was creating in the city center — despite highprofile police clashes with black citizens. In August 1962, for example, police arrested Rufus Fairwell while he was closing the service station where he was employed. He was accused of refusing to identify himself; he suffered two fractured vertebrae in police custody and was eventually cleared of any wrongdoing. Most blacks were clustered within a few city blocks; houses built for one or two families had four or five mailboxes on the front porch. Overcrowding was endemic; the 1960 Census found that 35 percent of the housing units in the Third and Seventh wards were deteriorated and dilapidated. Lagging behind other upstate cities, Rochester built just two affordable housing projects during the 1950’s. It’s an oversimplification to say that the anger that exploded that July night was the product of Third World housing, high unemployment, and stifling temperatures. But thousands of black people came to Rochester expecting to build better lives and found only better public assistance benefits. Their despair was bound to find its voice sooner or later. So where are we 50 years later? The poor are effectively “detained” in their neighborhoods, says Carvin Eison, a Rochester filmmaker and director of “July ’64,” a 2006 documentary about the lasting impact of the riots. (Eison is filming a sequel — “July 2014.”) In the original film, Minister Franklin Florence, the first president of the local civil rights organization FIGHT, says that the big problems in 1964

were “health, education, and jobs.” Not much has changed in 50 years, Eison says. Census data analyzed in an exhaustive report released last December by the Rochester Area Community Foundation reveals that Rochester has become the fifth-poorest city in the country. Despite huge increases in state and federal aid, the city lacks the resources to repair its neighborhoods, to expand services for children and seniors, or to attract young families and businesses, the report says. Our schools are among the worst in the country. And while the city school district has begun a $1 billion program to renovate and retrofit its crumbling schools, there is no countywide plan to be sure that city children get the quality education they are promised by the state Constitution. The fear that drove Rochesterians to the burbs is like the lead dust that has poisoned Rochester’s children. It worked its way through the vital organs and then settled deep in the bones, shaving points off the social and political IQ we need to solve these problems. The residents of this county are good people; when the calls go out for volunteers to read with city children, prepare Thanksgiving
baskets, or collect winter clothes, thousands of hands are raised. And yet, when you ask how we can reverse this decline, the response is a collective shrug of resignation. Middle-class suburbanites have worked hard to build successful lives for themselves and their children, and many believe that Rochester’s poor just need to do the same. They welcome minorities who have “earned” the right to a suburban ZIP code, but they bristle at proposals for more affordable housing in their towns or to open their excellent schools to impoverished city children. But to see poverty as the consequence of weakness or laziness is to miss what urban poverty has done — isolated the poor not just from “stuff,” but from the connections and tools they need to know how to get that stuff. Traditionally, cities in America have responded to middle-class flight by annexing adjoining towns, growing their tax bases, and giving suburbanites a personal stake in the success of the city. New York put an end to that practice in the 1920’s, freezing its cities in 100-year-old footprints. New York’s 19th century system of local government has codified the ridiculous
notion that a city, 19 towns, 10 villages, and 19 school districts, tightly squeezed into a mid-sized county, have such distinct interests that they require separate governments. Legally, there is no Community of Monroe, as folks here once described themselves, and the last communitywide response to the city’s decline was a sales tax redistribution plan — 30 years ago. In Monroe County, too many people have become comfortable with walls between city and suburbs, white and black, affluent and poor. Any whisper of city-suburban school partnerships to mitigate the impact of high-poverty city schools on learning is met with a predictable narrative: “Integration” equals “forced busing” equals dragging innocent first graders from Brighton and Pittsford to some hellhole school in the city where the teachers are inept and the black students will beat up the white kids. Never mind that it’s been 40 years since the Supreme Court struck down busing across district lines to relieve segregation resulting from housing patterns or other de facto reasons. This is the legacy that fear has bestowed on Rochester: good people frozen in time,
unwilling to imagine, let alone try a plan to reverse the city’s slide into poverty and despair. Prominent Rochesterians say and have said for years that regional solutions are needed for the city’s problems. But it is rare for them to publicly endorse any specific ideas for the biggest challenges — public safety, housing, and education; they saw how former Mayor Bill Johnson was destroyed during his campaign for county executive when he suggested countywide schools. “You know the definition of a pioneer?” asks Larry Glazer, the developer who hopes to reinvent Midtown and much of downtown Rochester. “It’s a guy in the desert with an arrow through his heart. Nobody wants to get too far out in front.” Is Rochester finally more open to change? Maybe. Sandra Parker, president and CEO of the Rochester Business Alliance, and others say that there is a genuine commitment to dealing with both poverty and education, which is essential to the community’s economic health. Local business leaders are mining an anti-poverty report done last year by a mayoral commission in Richmond, continues on page 8 rochestercitynewspaper.com

Shrug off the great shrug
Many people here hold that Rochester’s decline was inevitable, partly the result of a global economy that decimated the city’s 20th century industries (which it did), and partly the result of personal choice (to move out for greener pastures). But there were many junctures over the past 50 years when different decisions surely would have set Rochester on a different path. Here are three: A broad cross section of public and private sector experts (called the Greater Rochester Intergovernmental Panel) labored from 1972 to 1975 to develop recommendations for sweeping changes to government services, under the auspices of the National Academy of Public Administration. The GRIP-NAPA report called for a two-tiered system of local government that would have retained local control of many services while consolidating key functions: police, fire, ambulance, housing development, 8 CITY

The idea was to provide better service at a better price, but the real virtue of the plan was that it would have required local governments to work together for their shared future. The report’s authors noted with prescience that while they’d been told not to address public school collaboration, “We only do half the job in remaking local government… without considering the various serious needs in education.” Most of the panel’s recommendations were ignored. Democrats, who captured a City Council majority in 1973, were worried that county Republicans (who had been the champions of metropolitan solutions in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s) would effectively take control of the city if restructuring were put in place. “In my political career, there is only one thing I really regret,” says Haney, who was elected to City Council in 1973 and was asked by Mayor Tom Ryan to be the city’s point person in the GRIPNAPA deliberations. “I had my marching orders — to drag my feet — and I happily complied,” he says. “If some of the things they recommended had been adopted, we’d be a much different community today. It was a lost opportunity.” A second missed opportunity came with the gutting of the state’s Urban Development Corporation, established in 1969 for the purpose of building lowincome affordable housing in cities and in
Thousands of black people came to Rochester expecting to build better lives and found only better public assistance benefits. Their despair was bound to find its voice sooner or later. suburbs. With the authority to override local zoning regulations, the UDC built large complexes across the state, including projects in Greece, Perinton, and Webster. These developments, rather than attacking concentrated poverty, moved it to the suburbs. Opposition in the 1970’s led the State Legislature to strip UDC of its ability to build without local approval. The smarter course would have been to require UDC to build smaller townhouse developments. A third opportunity came in 1983 with the referendum for a consolidated county police force that would’ve spread the cost out to everyone in the county and begun to address the causes of the city’s decline — population loss, a shrinking tax base, and rising costs. After its defeat, the city and county agreed a year later to the Morin-Ryan sales tax formula that
gave the city a much larger share of county sales tax revenue. The sales tax plan was essential to the city’s fiscal survival in the short run, but it was also an excuse for not moving toward a sustainable form of local government.
The way forward
“We have a culture of poverty now and the lack of will to do anything about it,” says Leonard Brock, director of educational initiatives for the Children’s Agenda. “And this is much more challenging than poverty itself.” Indeed, if there is any consensus among the roughly 30 community leaders interviewed for this piece, it is this: Doing nothing leads nowhere, but doing what needs doing will test this community as never before. Proposed remedies for Rochester’s poverty settle into two broad categories:

8OO
Major policy initiatives to address chronic inequities — notably the development of
affordable housing in and outside the city, and having high-quality public schools available to city and suburban students. It’s not that jobs and economic development are suddenly lesser issues, but Rochester has for too long aggressively courted business while ignoring the obvious: great schools and decent housing are the keys to city neighborhood revitalization, which can only make Monroe County more attractive to employers. These are preconditions for reinvestment.

A wide range of actions to energize and engage the poor in ways that will help build
community and allow them to take a more active role in decisions that affect their lives.
First, the latter. Poverty is much more than not having enough money. In Rochester and many inner cities, isolation and the lack of engagement are even more dire problems. Transportation (to and from jobs, to child care, to full service grocery stores) is a huge obstacle. Many poor people are unconnected to primary health and dental care. They have unreliable or partial cell phone or Internet services. They do not have a network of friends and professional colleagues who can alert them to opportunities for training or youth summer jobs. They do not have

experience at being advocates for their children’s education. They are often “underbanked,” relying on predatory lenders and check cashing establishments. In short, they are outside the mainstream of society’s network of opportunities and connections. “We need access and information,” says the Children’s Agenda’s Leonard Brock.
Engaging marginalized people is critical to change. Poor people are not stupid; bringing them into the decision-making process is the way to make the best decisions for the common good. There are organized efforts in Rochester to expand the conversation on the city’s future. But engagement must be broad, deep, and result in action. It’s hard to assess whether there is a trend in this direction. But here, in no particular order, are some of the strategies being tried or planned. Efforts to connect existing training and education programs to assure that those who enter the pipeline emerge at the other end with a job. Major public and private funders
want to support organizations that collaborate to minimize duplication and maximize outcomes, says Simeon Banister, who runs a fund-raising consulting firm, administers a self-help initiative called Save for Success
(which provides an 8-to-1 match for students who save a small amount for education or training), and chairs the Greater Rochester MLK Jr. Commission, a nonprofit that promotes nonviolence, economic justice, and community empowerment. An abundance of training programs exists in Rochester, Banister says, but those programs may not always connect directly to jobs. With funding, the MLK commission could hire a team of “navigators” who would become fully familiar with the educational programs aimed at employment. They would develop an online database of programs that would help providers move students through the pipeline — from basic training for high school youth to higher level programs. The idea is to link training and jobs more closely to assure that once someone is in the pipeline, the path to employment is clear. Churches should focus on building community and promoting self-reliance.
“Churches should stop seeing themselves as having a mission of survival and start seeing themselves as having a mission of discovery,” says the Rev. Matthew Nickoloff, pastor of the new South Wedge Mission, a small EpiscopalLutheran congregation on Caroline Street. Nickoloff, a Fairport native who studied at Princeton and Duke Divinity School, describes himself as the “poster boy for continues on page 10 rochestercitynewspaper.com

privilege.” He says he doesn’t know what poverty feels like, but he does know what it means to be a good neighbor. Pastors should ask their members to commit to living in transitional neighborhoods for a period of time, Nickoloff says, to bring stability to those areas. Churches should open their buildings to host community meetings, cafes or musical events, to provide child care, to be present to their neighbors, he says. Similarly, the Rev. Lewis Stewart, a veteran civil rights activist and head of the United Christian Leadership Ministry, says that black churches have become insular and should reengage their communities. Congregants should have a higher profile in the neighborhoods around their churches, he says. “We have to say to black people, ‘You have to change,’” Stewart says. No one wants to live in neighborhoods where there is an epidemic of violence and drugs, he says, and churches must help people find ways to turn themselves around. Build diverse networks. For example, Clay Osborne, a retired vice president for human resources at Bausch and Lomb and the former director of operations for Monroe County, says that he would love to see a campaign asking employers to commit to hiring one person of color over the next year. Employers who say they can’t find qualified minorities should look harder, Osborne says.
“Social challenges present opportunities,” Kitwana says. As a credit union, ESL is chartered to serve this region and to engage low-income customers who are outside the financial mainstream. It’s a win-win, he says. ESL makes money by helping the poor utilize financial services to their own advantage. Making healthier choices. Learning healthier
habits can be another point of entry for poor

“Don’t change your standards or lower your requirements,” he says. “But maybe prolong your search.” That one new employee will be connected to an informal network that will help the employer hire more minorities, Osborne says. It’s a small step, he says, but that is how change happens. Connect the poor to financial institutions and credit. At ESL Federal Credit Union, Ajamu
Kitwana, the newly hired program manager for consumer prosperity, is working on strategies to reach out to poor people who are “underbanked” — that is, people without bank accounts or debit cards or a credit history that can open the door to car loans and mortgages.

people to connect to the opportunities that middle-class families have long enjoyed. “People think they can’t be healthy because they are poor,” says Candice Lucas, director of community health services for the University of Rochester Medical Center’s Center for Community Health. “You may not be able to afford a gym, but you can be active.” The center runs several initiatives, including Rochester Walks, a program that has developed safe walking routes in many city neighborhoods to encourage fitness. The interaction with clients gives the staff a chance to explain the health benefits of fitness, Lucas says, and to help clients get medical care they need but didn’t know they were covered for through Medicaid or other
insurance. It’s about making connections, Lucas says.
There are things that we can do
As critical as engagement is to the effort to reverse poverty, none of these steps will be successful without the housing and education policies that would have been much easier to implement 30 years ago when the city was less poor and the county was much wealthier. What should these policy initiatives produce? A city where families and businesses do not face an unusual financial risk by investing in city property and a city where
schools are so good that no one moves to escape them. The heyday of state and federal housing programs may be over, but opportunities still exist, says Stuart Mitchell, president and CEO of PathStone Corporation, a developer of affordable housing and provider of other services to low-income communities. Federal tax credits enable developers to build affordable family housing, and several hundred units have been built in suburban Monroe County over the years, he says. “But even if there were no (political) resistance to affordable housing,” Mitchell says, “I don’t think we (the Rochester community) could
do more than two projects a year with 100 units each because there is so much competition for the credits.” Still, over a decade that could make a substantial difference and help break down the reluctance of many towns to welcome low-income families. It’s been several years since Crerand Commons, 48 townhouses for low-income families, opened in Gates, and Supervisor Mark Assini says he would welcome additional units. Assini says he supports efforts to end the concentration of poverty. He says he has always believed “in pulling yourself up by your bootstraps,” but that individual initiative is not enough to lift families who have been trapped in poverty for generations. The Crerand Commons families moved from the city for a better life and better schools, Assini says. Assini says that he’s taken some heat for his views on poverty, but that he isn’t bothered by it. “I am a Republican, but I’m also a Catholic,” he says, referring to the church’s historic commitment to justice for the poor. Incentive zoning (granting a special permit or zoning variance in exchange for a builder’s commitment to add a certain number of affordable housing units) is a tried and tested tool that has largely been used to leverage senior housing, but it could be used to build family units as well. A third idea, Mitchell says, is to create a private fund that would provide a rent subsidy — say, $300 a month — that lowincome families could use to supplement their own resources to rent an apartment of their own choosing in the suburbs. All that’s missing is a generous foundation with a million bucks or so to invest. The point is that there are ways to support and grow economically diverse communities, if there’s the will to do so. The same basic concept is true for schools. Fifty years of research and experience have shown that high-poverty schools fail. Put those same poor students into schools with a healthier socioeconomic mix and they do much better academically with no adverse impact on their more affluent class classmates. Some urban areas have consolidated school districts (not going to happen here because the legal and political hurdles are too high), but there are other voluntary ways to erase high-poverty schools. Open multiple countywide magnet schools, primary and secondary, with programs attractive to city and suburban families. Triple or quadruple the size of the existing Urban-Suburban program. Look for ways that suburban districts can partner with the city on programs — which could provide better integration and utilize excess building capacity in suburban districts. Simple, but not easy. The path forward is mined with political and logistical obstacles.

Dining A new ball game [ CHOW HOUND ] BY KATIE LIBBY
Rochester isn’t a rookie in the meatball game. When it comes to those spherical mounds of meat, we’ve got choices. Do you like your meatballs with a frosty can of Schmidt and a game of pinball? Go for Skylark Lounge on South Union. Those who want their meatballs on-the-go can visit The Meatball Co. food truck. How about meatballs with a classy cocktail? Orbs Restaurant & Bar (758 South Avenue) is now open in the South Wedge neighborhood to fill that niche. Bob Caranddo is the man behind the meat(ball) at Orbs — and he’ll be the first to admit he was inspired by the craze that swept downstate following the success of meatball-only restaurants like Manhattan’s The Meatball Shop. Caranddo left Xerox 20 years ago for a move to Atlanta where he ran a large Ponderosa-type steak house. After moving back to Rochester, he wanted to open a place that was smaller and more unique. A few months ago, while walking by the commercial building on South Avenue that now houses Orbs, it would have been hard to imagine a restaurant and bar working in the location. However, the renovated space is open, airy, and bright with a wraparound bar anchoring the back wall. A jumbo chalkboard behind the bar displays the daily food and drink specials. Caranddo grew up in Rochester and liked the look of the South Wedge — the neighborhood was one of the first he scouted when looking for his new eatery’s home. A new concrete patio at the front of the building will eventually be open for outdoor dining. The menu offers a variety of ways to get your meatball fix. The Baby Ball Starters ($6) come with your choice of Buffalo Chicken with Bleu Cheese Sauce, Asian Barbequed Beef, or Vegetarian Falafel balls. For the main course, you can choose from the Orbs Bowl ($11), Plate ($13), Heroes ($10), or Sliders (3 for $8). The Orbs Plate comes with three meatballs, sauce, focaccia, and your choice of two sides. The variety of meatballs to choose from on the current menu includes certified Angus beef with marinara, spicy pork in slow roasted arrabiata, chicken and brown rice in mushroomherb gravy, and a baked tofu vegetable in mushroom gravy. Cheesy polenta, mac n’ cheese, and sautéed greens with white beans make up just a few of the sides ($4 each) to choose from. Salads and dessert balls are also included on the bill of fare.
Orbs Restaurant & Bar recently opened in the South Wedge. The business serves its spin on the growing meatball craze and craft cocktails to wash them down. Seen here is the Cheesy Polenta (left) and the Buffalo chicken baby ball starter with bleu cheese sauce (right). PHOTOS BY MARK CHAMBERLIN
On Orbs summer cocktail list, The Swedge Collins ($8) is a stand out. The drink is a tart and refreshing mixture of grapefruit vodka, fresh lemon and lime juice, honey syrup, and soda. Caranddo’s current favorite is his bar manager’s take on the classic Cosmopolitan, the Bobbopolitan ($8) — comprised of housemade citrus vodka, triple sec, fresh lime juice, cranberry syrup, grapefruit bitters, and an orange peel. According to Caranddo, the menu and variety of meatballs offered will constantly evolve and change. In a growing, transforming neighborhood like the South Wedge this just might be a good fit. Orbs Restaurant & Bar is located at 758 South Avenue. It is open Tuesday through Thursday, 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., and Friday and Saturday, 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. Menu prices range from $4 to $13. For more information, call 4718569 or find Orbs on Facebook.

But it ultimately reveals itself to be tenderly layered, immersive, and interesting. It’s easy for a band to hide behind noise and aggression, but the five-piece Perfect Pussy deftly manipulates and handles its feedback, instrumentation, and submersed vocals to really draw the curious in closer. And once you find out what’s really inside, vocalist Meredith Graves is beating an important line into your head about self-acceptance, and yes, love.

Rochester’s #1 Best Dance Studio Now in our new home!
If it weren’t for the musical mastery of bands like AFR, this type of uber-metal would be in danger of being marginalized and left in the decade it came from, like a lot of bands that litter the nu-metal highway. How heavy can a band get before it succumbs, crushed by its own weight? So far, this Rochester young (born in 2012) band hasn’t had to answer that question as it bobs and weaves like a prize-fighter lean and mean. Psychopath of Righteousness is an EP of epic proportions with everything taken to the edge but not over. Frankly, I could have used a couple more tracks. AFR represents everything that keeps metal fresh while still keeping it rooted in its history. The vocals are harrowing, the guitars seething, and the drums an audible blur of hands and feet. It’ll fire you up, and it will wear you out. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

After several years of bringing orchestral elements to collaborations with artists as varied as Kelly Clarkson, Linkin Park, 3Oh!3, and Moby, composer Joseph Trapanese ventures out solo with his score to the sci-fi family film “Earth to Echo.” The album opens and closes (“Just Kids”, “Not Kids Anymore”) with tracks reminiscent of the dreamy guitar riffs of Explosions in the Sky; a sound now synonymous with stories set in the modern American Midwest. Everything in between continues heavily atmospheric, blending low electronic pulses with rolling, meandering, orchestral tones. This is old hat for Trapanese who collaborated with Daft Punk on the score to “Tron: Legacy,” and co-composed the score to “Oblivion” with Anthony Gonzalez of M83. To that end, it’s no surprise that “Echo’s” soundscape is cut from the same digital circuit as those previous works. Unfortunately much of “Echo’s” score is disappointingly nondescript. The music comes across as surface-level, early sketches of ideas, further hindered by extremely short track lengths that don’t give the beats any time to develop. When allowed to delve deeper, though, Trapanese doesn’t squander the opportunity: “Here It Goes” is wonderful, featuring strong string-writing reminiscent of James Newton Howard and layered with varied electronic percussion. A short, repeating woodwind “beacon” motif drives the music to the track’s end, and bridges it directly into the following track’s (“The Way Home”) climactic beginning and satisfying, emotional conclusion. A soundtrack album featuring 11 songs and a suite of music from Trapanese’s score is also available. — BY MATT DETURCK

After her mom put down her acoustic guitar, a teenaged Meg Williams picked it up. Her band will perform at Sticky Lips BBQ Juke Joint on Thursday, July 24. PHOTO PROVIDED
Beneath this sweet exterior The Meg Williams Band THURSDAY, JULY 24 STICKY LIPS BBQ JUKE JOINT, 830 JEFFERSON ROAD 9 P.M. | FREE | STICKYLIPSBBQ.COM; REVERBNATION.COM/MEGWILLIAMSBAND [ FEATURE ] BY FRANK DE BLASE
Meg Williams is soft-spoken and sweet, perhaps even a bit shy. The Rochester-based singer/songwriter/guitarist laughs nervously when discussing her music — a bluesy jam with a casual twist of funk and soul — and her group, The Meg Williams Band. It’s all captured on the band’s excellent debut, “Troubles To The Wind.” But the bashfulness is beguiling and perhaps a tad misleading, especially when she picks up her guitar, plugs in, and peels out. Beneath this sweet exterior lurks a rock ‘n’ roller. It was one guitar solo that lit the torch and sent the young lady down the road to six-string bliss. “I guess what got me into electric guitar and sent me on the electric path was listening to David Gilmore’s solo on Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb,” the now 22-year-old Williams says. “It was like, ‘I wanna play that.’” When her first band, DMF (Dub My Fish), a quasi-reggae funk band ended, she banged around like a pinball doing solo acoustic gigs and lighting up open mic stages around Rochester for a spell, before putting together The Meg Williams Band. Everyone in the band — Sara Rogers on Trumpet; Jake Wark, saxophone; Adrien D’ Angelo, bass; Matt Bevan-Perkins, drums; D’Jean Vasciannie, drums; and guest utility man Mike Brown, lap steel, mandolin, and tenor banjo 16 CITY JULY 16-22, 2014
— brings their own heat, but it’s clear: this is Williams’ show. “I pretty much write everything on my own,” she says. “Then show it to the band and we work on it together.” But she’ll be the first to tell you; it ain’t always an easy ride. “Sometimes some of the things in my head don’t work out as great as I hoped,” Williams says with a laugh. “But then they [the band] come up with some things I never would have thought about and we work it out.” This working-it-out, work ethic has paid off with the band’s debut eclectic, yet cohesive CD, “Troubles To The Wind.” It’s an easy going jam for the most part, but what grabs you is the soul burning and brisling just underneath. Soul that may not be apparent right away. Soul disguised in its own simplicity. The opening track “Give Me None” is an easy-going romp with horns that urge “get down” while Williams’ guitar gently weeps. “Breakdown” let’s the band get a little boisterous and stretch its funk legs, while Mike Brown’s aerodynamic lap steel gives flight to the cut “Life Can Be So Complicated.” While Williams is off for the summer from her studies in Music Therapy at Nazareth, she and the band plan on tightening up and gearing up for a busy summer, hitting local and regional stages hard. The demand for the band is clearly on the rise despite its abbreviated time on earth. Its joy is infectious, undeniable, and admirable. “They’re some of my best friends,” Williams says of her band. “So it’s fun getting everybody together. I like where it’s heading. We all work really well together.”

BLUES | JIMMY THACKERY
A living blues legend, Jimmy Thackery’s track-record is staggering, to say the least. After co-founding the seminal D.C. blues band, The Nighthawks, in 1972 with singer Mark Wenner, Jimmy Thackery released over 20 records with the group and toured for over a decade before embarking on an equally successful solo career. His driving, intricate playing has taken him across the country and back, and has been an integral part of his albums with the Assassins and his trio, The Drivers. He’s bringing it to Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, and it won’t cost you a dime. Jimmy Thackery will play Wednesday, July 16, at Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, 99 Court Street. 9:30 p.m. Free.

SWING/MAYHEM | THE GAS HOUSE GORILLAS
BLUEGRASS | TRAMPLED BY TURTLES
So, five gorillas walk into a bar... But seriously folks, five tattooed Tarzans from the jungles of Brooklyn stroll into a joint in Anytown, U.S., and promptly take the stage. They look like a cross-section between The Bowery Boys and escapees from The Reformatory for Wayward Boys circa 1959. It’s still not clear if these cats are the band, or if they beat up the band and took their instruments. If it weren’t for their impressive musicianship, the jury would still be out. GHG is punk chaos with vintage R&B charm. Ladies and gentlemen, hold onto your heads. This is, as the members put it, “God’s favorite band.” I dare you to keep still at this one, sluggo.
Featuring what I would call one of the coolest band names of all time, Trampled by Turtles also plays some of the best bluegrass to be offered. With a guitar, fiddle, banjo, mandolin and bass all present — and the handlers each being more than adept at them — the group often goes on serious instrumental tangents. Said tangents can be heard in jams like “Risk” and my personal favorite “New Son/ Burnt Iron.” These speedy pieces are countered with slower, make-you-think songs like “Midnight on the Interstate.” There are no electric guitars and synthesizers and it’s a blessing, as TBT generates natural, organic music. If this music can’t make you stomp and clap, then none can.

ROCK | QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE
To paraphrase Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme, his band’s style is all about taking a “solid groove and pummeling it into your head.” That formula was used on catchy anthems like “3’s & 7’s,” a quirky, sharp, heavy tune that would be a comfortable fit on any alternative rock playlist. Homme’s recovery from a near death experience may have inspired QOTSA to evolve with its latest album — and first ever number one on the Billboard charts — “…Like Clockwork.” Even though it comes close to sounding like glam rock with some piano-driven songs, QOTSA’s grinding guitar riffs can still make you feel like, sort of, dancing. Unlocking The Truth, Brody Dalle open. Queens of the Stone Age performs on Friday, July 18, at the Main Street Armory, 900 East Main Street. 8 p.m. $37.50-$45.

A scene from one of the musical numbers of “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,” which is now playing at Geva Theatre. PHOTO BY COLIN HUTH
A c-h-a-r-m-e-r at Geva “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” THROUGH SUNDAY, JULY 27 GEVA THEATRE, 75 WOODBURY BOULEVARD VARIED TIMES | TICKETS START AT $25 | 232-GEVA (4382); GEVATHEATRE.ORG [ REVIEW ] BY DAVID RAYMOND
There’s an unofficial theatrical genre that’s called “The Little Show That Could” — a play or musical with modest requirements that started life in the hinterlands, finally made it to hit status in New York, and now has a lively afterlife in community theaters. A recent example — and a very appealing one — “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” just opened at Geva’s Mainstage and will run through Sunday, July 27. This musical, which started in 2004 as improvisatory theater in New York, was turned into a “real” musical and played in Massachusetts, OffBroadway, and eventually on Broadway for more than a thousand performances. I’m not surprised at its success: Its physical demands are modest, and it is a good time for actors and audience, especially in a performance as good as Geva’s presentation. The show doesn’t really have a plot, and doesn’t need it. Rachel Sheinkin’s book simply follows the eponymous spelling bee and its six finalists from beginning to end. These six verbally talented adolescents are as carefully divided into types as the soldiers in a World War II movie. What they have in common
is their intelligence and their various health and family issues (or as we used to call them, “problems”). Much of the humor comes from the set-up of the spelling bee. Sheinkin rings many changes, from the sophisticated to the snarky, on the “use it in a sentence” line for each bizarre word. And at each performance, a few recruits from the audience are amusingly worked into the script. But in addition to all the jokes, you get a sense of what has been lacking in the kids’ upbringings. One has been continually called dumb by his family, another has a long list of health issues, one has helicopter parents, and another has parents who haven’t bothered to show up — Dad is working and Mom is finding herself in India. (Parents don’t come off all that well in this show.) Only one of the contestants gets to win, of course, and on the way to the finale each of them learns a Life Lesson or two. The show touches on questions of competitiveness and self-esteem, but mostly “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” is what used to be called a Charm Show: funny, entertaining, not a groundbreaker but cleverly made, and a bit touching. Adding greatly to the charm of “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” is William Finn’s score. If you think the composer of “Falsettos” and “A New Brain” seems like an odd fit for a show about six middle-schoolers — well, I thought so too, but I was wrong. The characters in those shows are lonely, confused, neurotic people, and his songs for them reflect that brilliantly. A typical Finn song, if there is one, will set
a rapid pile-up of words to a jittery vamp, which occasionally relaxes and blossoms into a sweet, memorable melodic phrase. As it turns out, this is a very effective way to characterize these adolescent characters. They sometimes sound a little too clever, but generally the songs ring true, and Finn is well aware that even smart, well-behaved spelling bee champs swear and think about sex. Without Finn’s idiosyncratic music and lyrics, “Spelling Bee” would be an exercise in cuteness just this side of Disney; his score adds to the show a nice heaping of spice. One attraction of this show is its simplicity. It uses contemporary costumes and needs no set to speak of, just a table, chairs, a microphone, and bleachers. And Geva’s production looks pleasing — particularly Amanda Doherty’s costumes, which are nicely balanced in color, and nicely specific to each character. Melissa Rain Anderson’s direction and choreography make the whole thing look easy as pie, and Don Kot’s musical direction of a tricky score is perfection. Geva hired six theater students from local or regional colleges to play the spelling bee contestants, and they are all pretty terrific, single and together: Josh Carey of SUNY Fredonia as a neo-hippie homeschooler; Tess DeFlyer (Nazareth College) as the girl whose parents never show up to the bee; Bella McGrath (Nazareth) as the coached and cossetted daughter of two dads; Rebecca Rand, a recent West Irondequoit High School graduate, as the overachiever who speaks six languages; Keland Alaka’I Sarno (Wagner College) as the previous bee’s winner, in the throes of adolescent lust; and Paul E. Urriola as an allergy-beset young man whose spelling virtuosity is helped by his “magic foot” (which leads one of the show’s wackiest musical numbers). These talented performers move like lightning and land every joke, and when Finn’s music gives them the opportunity, they prove they have strong singing voices. It’s the kids’ show, but there is also excellent support from the professionals playing the adult characters: Ryan Dietz as the vice principal and reader of the spelling words; Happy McPartlin as a former spelling bee winner and now “real estate queen of Putnam County”; and Javar La’Trail Parker as the bee’s “comfort counselor.” “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” may not be “My Fair Lady” or “Sweeney Todd,” but it is definitely a “Little Show That Did,” and an entertaining way to spend a summer night.

It’s no secret that a great beard, while often hard to find, can truly be a sight to behold. The spectrum of facial hair tends to exist as a fine line between “Why would you do that to your face?” and “Your beard makes me believe in love and hope again.” With his series, “Behold This Swarthy Face,” local photographer Gerry Szymanski is showcasing men who fall closer to the latter category. Inspired by the Walt Whitman poem of the same name, the bearded and mustachioed gentlemen featured in “Behold This Swarthy Face” is coming to the Roc Brewing Co. this summer. “Behold This Swarthy Face” will be held at the Roc.

Art Several of the paintings contain overlaid, seemingly disparate imagery, suggesting multiple inner and outer perspectives, as if the subject of the painting looks out at a world superimposed with a conjured reverie or two.

Spotlight on six “6th Rochester Biennial” THROUGH SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 21 MEMORIAL ART GALLERY, 500 UNIVERSITY AVENUE WEDNESDAY-SATURDAY: 11 P.M. TO 5 P.M.; THURSDAY 11 A.M. TO 9 P.M. | $5-$12 | 276-8900; MAG.ROCHESTER.EDU. [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
The 6th Rochester Biennial opened last Saturday, featuring six small solo shows of work by established, regional artists chosen for their exceptional commitment to their craft. The exhibition contains a vast range of media, techniques, and subject matter, affording the audience a glimpse into the diverse array of skilled artists working in our communities. Each collection is fascinating and engaging in its own way, and at times challenges the viewers to consider what is shared and what is unique in our experiences of this odd human existence, as well as the obvious things we dangerously miss entirely. Ithaca-based printmaker Kumi Korf ’s statement says color is the most important in her elegant and enigmatic work. In these recent intaglio and aquatint prints 26 CITY JULY 16-22, 2014
and etchings, Korf used stencils to create overlapping colors and shapes, with richly hued organic forms blinking into and out of existence on the papers. In “Delirium,” serpentine lines chase one another over areas of shadow and light, and poetic verse is printed right side up and upside down. The prints are rife with organic forms blushing with watery pigment. Meant to represent clouds, birds, flowers, shadows, and bodies of water, each existing within shifty, half-formed dreams. Rochester Institute of Technology professor and Churchville-based artist Richard Hirsch’s work is characterized by the term “heat.” Hirsch’s newly fabricated sculptural objects and paintings possess the illusion of weathered, worn surfaces. Through a nuanced attention to texture and expert glazing techniques, soda- or woodfired clay becomes bronze, wood, or stone. Tertiary tones burst brightly against earthen hues like blooms of rust or mold, a flush of flux in timeless materials. Hirsch’s nonrepresentational encaustic and clay paintings with minerals and dry pigment resemble heavily textured cement walls or an aerial view of razed land far below. His oversize crucibles and “Mortar and Pestle” are like monuments to tools of another time, and it’s easy to picture a set
of giant, aged, warm hands cradling the forms, steadily pulverizing plants. Henrietta-based artist and RIT professor Juan Carlos Caballero-Perez’s breathtaking and intricate ornamentations are created in homage to his mother, who worked as a seamstress in Mexico City and patiently taught her son to sew. Throughout this collection of sculptural jewelry and vessels, the artist elevates humble materials through careful incorporation with more prized stones and metals. Nods to his mother’s trade abound, in the way that plastic is ruffled ornamentally, and elements and forms allude to stitches, bobbins, needles, and repeating patterns. “Stitching II,” is a beautifully balanced cuff, referencing a wrist-worn pin cushion. The otherworldly adornments seem fit for royalty, the urns gorgeous resting places for the most precious of ashes. Hamilton-based artist Lynette K. Stephenson’s large-format oil paintings in her “Incidences and Observations” series explores the “profound strangeness of life.” Most of the works focus on figures and the ground drops away; even in “Flood,” the roof of a house and treetops are the only tangible, bright spots in a wash of murky horror.
archetypal ceramic work explores the various relationships and memories associated with home and family, and humorous anecdotes from daily life. The dichotomy of the family dog is explored in two works, which contrast the animal’s sweetness toward the owners with its explosive ferociousness toward a stranger at the door. “Dog with Bone” features an alert pup balancing a trophy on his head, the vessel illustrated with imagery of a gentlemanly pooch, while “Beware of Dog” is part pet, part rocket, his eyes crazed and face frozen in a snarl. Manlius-based artist Kim Waale has but one work in the show, an exploration of artifice in a room-sized installation titled “Simulacrutopia (again),” which alludes to a simulated representation of a near-perfect reality. The work is gently contemptuous toward our so-called love of nature, referencing our replacement of natural settings with surreal, sterile representations of itself for our recreational desires. At one end of the room, an outcropping of foam “rocks” juts from high up on the wall, with cast-rubber “rivers” falling in tendrils which trail off in a freeze-flow across a low collage of maps. Spun and spray-painted plastic wrap over wire effectively simulates rushes and reeds sprouting from the reordered islands and continents, and remnants of animal life, such as spiderwebs or antlers, are mere decorative relics. A mechanical songbird, set off by a motion detector, acts as a threshold guardian, releasing a jarring cry as viewers enter the environment. We are makers of strange, new and rapidly arising realities, rabid shapers of the world. Waale’s work predicts a plastic and sanitized world, essentially nothing more than a stage on which we can finally act out our most desired roles: as revelers in a safe, alterable, anaesthetized playground. Already, scientists have discovered bacteria which consume plastics. There is little doubt that nature will carry on, working with what we put into it, but we foodchain-toppers cannot recreate what is essential to our own survival much long after we have poisoned the well.

THEATER | HAIRSPRAY
As a part of its SummerStage program, the Jewish Community Center of Greater Rochester will present Tony Award winning musical “Hairspray.” The show, based on the 1988 John Waters film of the same name, follows Tracy Turnblad, a plussized dancer who works to end race segregation on television in 1960’s Baltimore. The JCC’s run of performances coincide with the 50th Anniversary of Rochester’s 1964 race riot. The show will thus be especially relevant, as 26 young people hilariously depict the ridiculous nature of segregation and racism. “Hairspray” will run at the JCC’s Hart Theatre (1200 Edgewood Avenue) Saturday, July 19, through Sunday, July 27. Saturday performances (July 19 and 26) will begin at 8 p.m. Matinee performances on Sundays (July 20 and 27) at 2 p.m. And performances are at 7 p.m. on Wednesday (July 23) and Thursday (July 24).

In the new movie, a huge ape colony — where do they all come from anyway? — dwells in its (PG-13), DIRECTED BY MATT REEVES own community in the rain forests of the Pacific NOW PLAYING Northwest, under the benevolent dictatorship of Caesar, played again by Andy Serkis.

the wrecked cityscape of San Francisco. Those many combat sequences demonstrate the latest in cinematic acrobatics, computer generated imaging, and motion capture, just the sort of thing many people these days mistake for filmmaking. The humans, who occupy less time and space in the movie than their primate cousins, also exhibit some disagreements over their reactions to the presence and ultimately, the threat of the animals. While some urge the use of their considerable armory, others, led by the major human character in the movie, Malcolm (Jason Clarke) and his girlfriend Ellie (Keri Russell) constantly try for some form of accommodation. The key word for both Malcolm and Caesar is trust, apparently a rare commodity in a conflict between humans and apes. Underneath all the spectacular action and philosophical baloney about whether the humans or the animals are the true savages, lurks the overpowering sentimentality that conditions most movies devoted to animals (not my favorite subject). Caesar’s mate Cornelia (Judy Greer) gives birth to a baby, which inspires several gushy moments of parental devotion guaranteed to either soften or sicken the hardest heart. To show that not all humans treat apes badly, Ellie, a doctor, cures Cornelia of an illness, thus earning Caesar’s trust in a tense situation. The huge battle scenes, obviously intended to entertain audiences expecting them, show

thousands of apes armed with stolen weapons, riding horses — ridiculous in itself — and overcoming the opposition of the citizens of San Francisco. They outshoot the humans with their own weapons, surely difficult for simian fingers to manipulate, defend themselves against machine guns, rockets, bombs, and even a tank. “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” leaks nonsense from every opening. In showing the moral superiority of the apes, the movie resembles some of the sentiments in “Instinct” of some years back, where Anthony Hopkins played a primatologist who discovered Edenic happiness sitting in the African grass with gorillas all day, which must require a high threshold of boredom. The movie’s implied questioning of the humanity of human beings certainly deserves some serious examination, but all that dissolves in the extended battle scenes and the special effects. For all his intelligence, Caesar neglected to study Darwin, which accounts for his shock over the realization that apes can also mistreat other apes. For someone who dislikes animal pictures in general, who believes the only good dog flick is “The Wolfman,” and who finds apes, gorillas, chimpanzees, monkeys, and orangutans neither attractive nor charming nor interesting, “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” fails miserably. The very first “Planet of the Apes” remains the best, but if you really want to see a motion picture about humans and primates, revisit the original “King Kong” of 1933, a terrific movie and one of my ace favorites.
[ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
Paul Haggis, the Academy Award-winning writer-director of “Crash,” is back in similar territory with “Third Person,” another multi-narrative, everyone-is-connected melodrama which unfortunately shares many of the same problems that plagued that ponderously didactic Best Picture winner. His new film weaves together three separate storylines taking place in three different countries. In the first, an award-winning novelist (Liam Neeson) alternately cavorts and fights with his mistress/protégé (Olivia Wilde) in Paris while his wife (Kim Basinger) chain-smokes back at home. In Rome, a corporate spy in the fashion industry (Adrien Brody) flirts with a beautiful illegal Romanian immigrant (Moran Atias), and
finds himself getting roped into in her attempts to smuggle her young daughter into the country. And finally, in New York City, a frantic former soap star (Mila Kunis) battles her artist ex-husband (James Franco) to regain custody of their son, who nearly died as the result of an accident with a dry-cleaning bag while in her care. Everything builds to the reveal of what it is that connects these stories, but when it finally comes, it arrives with a thud. Haggis telegraphs the revelation by sprinkling hints throughout, along with the occasional mysteriously overlapping geography of the stories. Haggis is at his best when he limits himself to a straightforward, single narrative thread (as with “In the Valley of Elah” or his scripts for “Million Dollar Baby” and “Casino Royale”). Here, he can’t contain his penchant for artificial sentimentality and obvious symbolism about “What It All Means,” and the storytelling comes across as overly calculated and heavy-handed. Still, “Third Person” is compellingly watchable, largely thanks to strong performances from the entire ensemble (Wilde in particular deserves credit for making her manic character seem believable as an actual human being). But the admirable efforts of the actors are sadly undone by clumsily contrived writing and the sense that they’re ultimately not playing people so much as mismatched puzzle pieces crammed together to create a picture that, once you step back and take a look, doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. Our nation’s deadly epidemic of obesity is

the focus of “Fed Up,” an effective new activist documentary from director Stephanie Soechtig (“Tapped”) and executive producer Katie Couric (also narrating the film). Sharing a producer (Laurie Lennard) with the Oscar-winning “An Inconvenient Truth,” the doc clearly hopes to do for this health crisis what that film did for global warming. Soechtig, who co-wrote the film with Mark Monroe (behind another Oscar-winning documentary, 2009’s “The Cove.”), offers a
scathing indictment of our nation’s eating habits, but believes that the problem may not be entirely our fault. While conventional wisdom states that the way to lose weight is to eat less and exercise more, “Fed Up” argues that these efforts to fight the epidemic have been misguided, and that it’s not how much we eat, but what we’re eating that’s doing damage to our health. The fault lies within the food industry’s peddling of processed foods. Companies have answered the increasing demand for less fat, low calorie food options by pumping up the sugar content to add flavor, making products that are equally as unhealthy and highly addictive to boot. To back up these claims, Soechtig interviews politicians, researchers, physicians, lobbyists, and most heartbreakingly, the overweight youths affected by these practices. It’s blatantly manipulative to watch those children sob into the camera, frustrated that their constant dieting and exercising aren’t yielding any results, but it’s impossible not to be moved by their plight. The film draws a direct correlation between the strategies used by Big Tobacco and those the food industry employs, specifically the aggressive marketing of their products to children, brainwashing us from an early age to crave, say, a Happy Meal. The problem is a systemic one, caused by the deep pockets of the food industry, which gain it the ability to lobby and prevent governmental regulation. Soechtig’s film suggests that, as the country did with the tobacco companies, the solution is outright demonization of the industry’s tactics and making a rallying cry around the need for strict regulations. In presenting its case, “Fed Up” has a tendency to oversimplify things for the sake of its argument, at a certain point seemingly making the claim that exercise won’t really do you any good. Despite the flaws, it’s not hard to get behind the film’s ultimate goal of making healthy eating as much of a habit and as easy for the average person as picking up a Big Mac.

Bungalow Beauty in the Wedge 240 Sanford Street A treasure in Rochester’s sought-after and livable South Wedge neighborhood, this Craftsman style bungalow has been lovingly cared for and updated by its owners. Its gracious front porch, deep backyard, mature perennial gardens, and original gumwood throughout make this a true find, perfect for a young family just starting out or retirees looking for a sophisticated urban retreat. Built in 1929, the home is located on a quiet oneway street in a richly historic area known for tree-lined sidewalks, fashionable South Ave. shops and eateries, community gardens and a popular weekly farmers market, as well as an active neighborhood organization in the South Wedge Planning Committee. The home’s comfortable living room greets you immediately with beautiful hardwood floors, plentiful gumwood trim and molding, a handsome ceiling fan, and a painted brick fireplace with inset wood burning stove. A graceful archway yields to the generous windowed dining room, ideal for entertaining or extended family gatherings. The dining room then opens to a warm kitchen with wainscoting and new marble countertops, a striking and well-executed contemporary complement to the home’s many period features. Wooden heat registers in excellent condition and a restored and intact milk door are among the details that give this home its character and charm. The first floor also has a bedroom and comfortable den, plus a full bath, updated with elegant fixtures. Throughout you’ll find original leaded glass windows, and on the doors, original brass fixtures with glass doorknobs.
A winding wooden staircase leads to the second floor with two spacious bedrooms and a half-bath, plus a storage area with attic access. Copious crawl space and closets rare in houses of this period increase the home’s comfort and livability. Throughout, you’ll find both modern and original light fixtures, and stylish interior wall colors that thoughtfully enhance the home’s design. The owners have installed glass block windows throughout the partially finished basement, which includes a laundry room and family room, plus a bonus storage room perfect for use as a root cellar, wine cellar, or canning cupboard. Outside, a brick patio and gently curved pathway lead to a surprisingly deep and private backyard, with beautiful wooden swing set, graceful perennial gardens full of mature plantings, and a fanciful treehouse for naps or secret meetings! A portion of the three-car garage currently serves as a tidy workshop and storage space. The house’s exterior is freshly painted. Wonderful neighbors are advocates of the urban farming movement, so don’t be surprised by the occasional clucking of chickens! In this shaded oasis, you might forget altogether that you’re in the city. Priced at $149,900, 240 Sanford Street has 1,498 square feet and can be viewed by contacting Roxanne Kuliner Stavropovlos of RE/MAX Realty Group at 585-218-6810. by Suzanne E.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD
Rocking “Messiah”
Prominent theoretical chemist David Glowacki was ejected from a classical music concert at England’s Bristol Old Vic in June for disrupting a performance of Handel’s “Messiah” by attempting to crowd-surf in front of the stage. Dr. Glowacki, an expert in non-equilibrium molecular reaction dynamics and who is presently a visiting scientist at Stanford University, was attending a special “informal” performance at which audience members were encouraged to stand and cheer loudly instead of showing the usual demure appreciation. He said afterward that he could not control himself when the performance moved to the “Hallelujah Chorus.”
Cultural Diversity
— A formal-dress rental store in Fukui, Japan, with a side business making keepsake portraits of client brides, was surprised at the number of men who began requesting a similar service — to be outfitted just like the women, in wedding gowns and other frills. In fact, just as women expect full makeup and hairstyling for their portraits, so, too, do the men. The store, Marry Mariee, charges the equivalent of about $400 ($600 on weekends). Said the manager, “We want to provide opportunities for people to enjoy showing their real selves, whether they are men or women.” — Paid time off of work for women experiencing brutal menstrual periods is not yet guaranteed in U.S. law, but it is a staple of workplace rights in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Indonesia, according to a May report by The Atlantic (although in Indonesia, women report that some employers require on-the-scene “proof”
of condition; Japan’s policy has been in place for over 60 years). However, concluded The Atlantic, the policies are based less on rights of workers than on “the scientifically dubious notion” that stressing females during menses will result in difficult future childbirths. — Parental fear of having raised girls and boys who will never marry, plus China’s boy-heavy gender imbalance, have provoked the government to fund a series of matchmaking conventions to create opportunities and incentives for matrimony. However, because of widespread disinterest by singles, many of the attendees at the recent Shanghai Matchmaking Expo were parents touting their kids’ credentials to other unmarrieds. A dispatch from Vice.com reported “notice boards” full of cards (resembling baseball trading cards) and makeshift posters attached to umbrellas, reciting age, education and salary. Success of the expos was hard to predict, wrote Vice, because (as is so often the case with social mixers) many singles passed the time in silence, and many desirable candidates were no-shows. — Perspective: San Francisco’s activist Board of Supervisors, among the boldest in the country to rid their cities of obnoxious goods and services, added disposable plastic water bottles to the list in March (to join circumcision, plastic shopping bags, and nutrition- challenged “Happy Meals” that contain toys). The water bottle vote was unanimous (covering distribution on city-controlled property), compared to the cliff-hanging 2012 vote (6-5), in which the board finally decided to ban unclothed people from the streets (mostly men, of course), where until then some freely wandered downtown sidewalks stark naked.
[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 34 ]
[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can make a progressive and passionate innuendo that will grab the attention of someone you love. Talking will get you in the door, but taking action will seal the deal. Don’t hold back when it comes to romance. Show what you’ve got to offer. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You will have to rely on your charm, intelligence and ability to nurture if you want to attract and hold someone’s attention. Love is on the rise, but friendship should be your first stop. Once you secure your position and gain trust, you can let intimacy take over. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your imaginative way of expressing
your feelings will attract a lot of attention. In fact, you are likely to end up being quite confused by the number of choices you have when it comes to love, romance and forming a deep, meaningful relationship. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your memory will serve you well when it comes to showing someone you fancy how attentive and mindful you can be with regard to the likes and dislikes mentioned in the past. A romantic gesture coupled with your ability to please will lead to a passionate encounter. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Step into the spotlight and show how courageous, competitive and
aggressive you can be, and you will attract someone who can match you every step of the way. Together you can experience the things you never dared to do with anyone else. Romance and adventure await you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Listen carefully to what’s being said. Someone is likely to send you mixed signals that can lead to disappointment or regret. Step back and let whoever you are attracted to come to you. Make it clear you don’t play games. Time is on your side, and patience will pay off. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Indecision and overreacting will work against you. If you cannot make
a choice or a commitment, be honest and set whomever you are dangling free. Once you are noticeably single, you’ll attract someone quite special. When it’s the right partner, you will not hesitate or feel confused. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Refrain from going overboard if someone attracts you. Step back and let your mysterious charm take over. Being too aggressive will work against you when it comes to love. Take a quiet, reserved approach, and offer something quite different from anyone else interested in the same person as you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Opportunity knocks in
the romance department, but before you jump in with two feet, make sure what’s being offered is what you want. The chase is probably going to be more exciting than the catch. Before you decide to make a promise, be sure you are ready to follow through. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Consistency will make all the difference in the world when it comes to love and romance. Taking responsibility and being organized with the plans you make with someone special will put your relationship in perspective and lead to a lifetime of happiness. Go after who you want.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Love is climbing. Get out and have fun with someone who enjoys the same things you do, and it will lead to a happy and forever-lasting ending. Don’t be afraid to speak up about your likes and dislikes as you plan to move forward romantically. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Emotions shared with someone you love will be reciprocated. Start making plans that will help stabilize your personal life and your future. Don’t hold back when it comes to building a solid home base. Working together as one will lead to happiness and bring you closer.
