Add it up

Tim Louis Macaluso quotes Rochester legislator Joseph Morelle as saying that “on the question of state aid, the argument that Buffalo receives more help than Rochester is more perception than reality” (“The Buffalo Blues,” News). Furthermore, Morelle stated, “when you add in the money Rochester has received for various local projects (Midtown, Eastman Business Park etc.), Rochester’s financial aid is nearly on a par with Buffalo.” Nothing could be further from the truth.

Rochester community leaders have for many years complained about the lack of fairness associated with Rochester’s share of state aid.

They estimate the disparity to exceed $40 million annually when compared to Buffalo’s.

Per capita aid in Rochester has been pegged at about $419 per person while Buffalo receives $617, yet Morelle and his fellow state colleagues have done nothing to correct this imbalance.

Rather than address the inequity here, the state will pump an additional $1 billion of taxpayer money into Buffalo to further economic growth and help energize the area. You would think that our Albany representatives might push for similar treatment here, considering recent data that suggests Rochester is saddled with the third most povertystricken area in America together with possessing the second worst economic growth record in the country. But silence prevails.

It is obvious that Rochester is barely treading water and has many needs that should be addressed.

The local state delegation must get on board, accept the 2 CITY

shortfall, and fix the problem.

Rochesterians deserve their fair share of state aid and economic development dollars. If our representatives have any clout, the goal should be to “bring home the bacon,” not just accept the crumbs that are left behind.

Incidentally, the project aid that Assemblyman Morelle mentioned (Midtown, Eastman Business Park etc.), which he indicated helped Rochester level the playing field, was, for the most part, associated with funds secured through the competitive Regional Economic Development Awards. Buffalo and other regions of the state likewise participate in the state program, and Buffalo has received a like amount of dollars for initiatives there.

No edge for Rochester here.

Protect the children

My heart goes out to the children fleeing the violence in their countries. They are just children, like yours and mine. The majority come from Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala, countries in which our government often has been involved militarily.

In 2009 a covert CIA operation helped Honduras generals overthrew a democratically elected government. Honduras is now called the murder capital of the world. In 2013 alone more than 400 children were killed there. The US has repeatedly given military aid to the brutal dictatorship in Guatemala that oppresses and kills its own people. The School of the Americas in Fort Benning, Georgia, has trained military personnel on killing and torturing their own people, resulting in the death of six Jesuit priests and tens of thousands of Salvadoran citizens.

Anti-immigration reform media want us to believe that these children come only because of economic reasons.

It is true that we have harmed their economies with the free trade agreements, which destroy the livelihood of the Central American farmers. They can no longer sell their products on their own markets because the American crops are cheaper.

We have an obligation towards these children.

They are very vulnerable.

We have to abide by the law. The Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act, signed by Republicans and Democrats alike in 2008, requires that every minor receives a fair hearing.

doesn’t mean they should be allowed to run roughshod.

As a Bible-believing, bornagain Christian, US citizen, and resident of Greece, I think this is wonderful (“An Atheist in the Town of Greece,” News). We need more inclusion, not less. We need more viewpoints, not fewer. I’m proud to live in the Town of Greece, where the expression of diverse views is welcome.

The Supreme Court’s decision was wise. There is an appropriate place for religious spiritual and moral expression in our civic life.

While I strongly favor elimination of all this superstitious nonsense within our government, several things make the situation in Greece especially troublesome. The invocations in Greece do not convey any respect for those present who are not practicing Christians.

A town board meeting is not at all like a legislative session. Regular citizens are coming in to make their case to their town government, “to petition for redress of grievances.” First thing you are confronted with is a highly sectarian prayer. You can either pretend to be one of these Christians, or you identify yourself as an outsider, not of this club. The board members all “amen” right along with almost everyone else.

No Christian I know would condone the intolerance expressed in these invocations. I can only hope that a large contingent of attendees starts walking out at every one of these invocations.

C’mon, Grecians: how ‘bout standing up (and walking out) for what’s right!

The US Senate and House start their sessions with prayer every day. The president of the United States has participated in the National Prayer Breakfast for the last 61 years. There are chaplains in every branch of the armed forces to tend to the spiritual needs of its members. Law enforcement, fire departments, and hospitals have chaplains, as do public universities.

Eighty-six percent of the people in Greece, according to the Census, are Christian.

An overwhelming 65 percent are Roman Catholic.

The Supreme Court, including the three women justices, was unanimous – in being wrong? (“Supremes Launch Attack on Women’s Health Care,” Urban Journal) They overturned a Massachusetts law requiring pro-life activists to stay 35 feet from reproductive health facilities, including Planned Parenthood.

“Reproductive health facilities” and Planned Parenthood: be careful what unfiltered words get by you. Your columnist wrote, “But I don’t see how requiring protesters to keep a respectful distance is a serious restriction on their right to

speak.” What’s a “respectful distance” for those without a voice, for whom this “medical procedure” is 100 percent fatal?

Let’s talk about a solution, though. On the one hand, there’s the “termination of a living being; life-long regret by the mother; a loving, childless person or couple.

On the other hand….

Here is the scenario between an amorous husband and wife: He: How about some sex tonight, dearest?

She: Oh, I’d love to dear, but my employer won’t pay for my contraceptives, so I guess the answer is no.

He: That darned conservative Supreme Court!

Messing with your “health” this way. Maybe I should pay for my own contraceptives and then we can do as we please.

She: Well, I suppose you could, but why should you when someone else can?

Heck, with Obamacare we can have sex any time, anywhere, with anyone, any way we like, wherever we like as often as we like and my employer will pick up the tab. Is this a great country or what!

He: Well, maybe we should just forego the sex act until such time as we can save up enough money to buy our own contraceptives!

Maybe I am a little right of center on this issue, but for heaven’s sake, sex is personal. Why should government be involved?

Washington pols, please stay out of my bedroom; that invisible god in sky that Tom Tomorrow is so concerned with is looking!

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

This Christian nation: the immigrant children Maybe I’m naive, but I was shocked last month by the reaction to news that Monroe County might get a shelter for immigrant children.

In late June, when the media reported that the federal government was looking at locations in the Rochester and Buffalo areas, Congressman Chris Collins lashed out. It’s “unacceptable,” he said, that “the federal government is trying to force the hard-working taxpayers of New York to foot the bill to house undocumented immigrants.”

The children we’re talking about are from Central America, and they’re fleeing terrible economic conditions or often terrifying violence.

Reports by the United Nations and other human rights agencies say that many of them are victims of gang violence and persecution, family abuse, forced labor, and human trafficking.

The UN High Commissioner for Refugees office estimates that 58 percent of the children have experienced harm or face the threat of harm in their countries and could need international protection.

In Guatemala, says a report by Human Rights Watch, “Powerful criminal organizations engage in widespread acts of violence and extortion.” And, says the report, “The exploitation of children in sexual tourism, pornography, and organized crime is a widespread problem.”

A New York Times report earlier this month documented violence and torture of children in Honduras, largely due to rampant gang violence. And in El Salvador, the Times said, street gang violence has led to a murder rate of more than eight people a day.

Some of the children fleeing across the Mexico-US border have relatives living in the United States. Some do not, and are coming here – on their own volition or at the insistence of family members – seeking refuge and a better, more secure life.

Some of them die before they get to the border, victims of violence or the intense heat and lack of water and food along the way.

And when they get here, they are met with American hostility: protests, verbal abuse, and humiliation. US Immigrant rights groups say that some of the children have been abused – physically and verbally – by US Border Patrol employees.

Some of these children will have to go back to their home country. Others could be granted protected status and could be permitted to stay – legally. Although some public officials are pushing for quick deportation, all of these children have the right to due process to determine their status. But they need shelter while they wait.

Rather than a welcoming, safe haven, the children fleeing Central America are greeted with American hostility: protests, verbal abuse, and humiliation.

New York City has sheltered more than 3000 of them, the New York Times reported last week, and officials there expect 7000 more. Immigrant-rights groups and city officials are working together to get help for them. Syracuse also wants to help; Mayor Stephanie Miner and the Syracuse Catholic Diocese have written President Obama saying they welcome a shelter there.

But in Greater Rochester? When federal officials were studying two Monroe County sites, there were immediate protests, including Chris Lee’s little rant, and little sign of welcome. No Syracusetype invitation, no statement of support, no pledge to find an acceptable shelter facility and provide food and clothing and medical care.

“That’s disturbing to me,” long-time immigrant-rights activist John Ghertner told me late last week. “And what bothers me even more than the lack of a community statement is that we’ve got two senators in New York State who are not up for election and would probably have to commit murder to lose an election” and so far, neither has said a word. Not that Ghertner and I can determine.

Early this week, a ray of hope broke through locally: The owners of the former Blossom Nursing Home on Monroe Avenue have contacted city officials about sheltering up to 172 of the children at that continues on page 9 rochestercitynewspaper.com

Officials with New York State and the SUNY College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering announced plans to build a next-generation semiconductor facility in Greece. It will be located in a building that the college owns in the Canal Landing Office Park, and will focus on gallium nitride semiconductor technology. Officials said that approximately 100 tech companies will share the space, and that at least 500 jobs should be created.

City loses battle over bar hours Violent incidents connected to two Rochester clubs, Captain’s Attic and Magic City, have prompted intervention from City Hall. But it’s a little-known court ruling that really has the potential to shake up the late-night scene in the city.

State Supreme Court Justice John Ark ruled in 2013 that the City of Rochester improperly restricted the operating hours for Obsession Bar and Grill, 564 Chili Avenue. The decision was upheld on appeal in June.

According to the city’s zoning code, bars and restaurants with a certain commercial designation must close at 11 p.m. The C1 designation is meant for low-intensity businesses that

are compatible with the surrounding neighborhood, the code says.

But the court ruled that the city cannot supplant state law, which permits the businesses to stay open until 4 a.m. (State law does allow a county to request an earlier closing time. Monroe County has set a 2 a.m. closing time.)

The suit was filed by Obsession Bar and Grill and establishment owner Joan Ortiz against the city’s Zoning Board. Obsession had requested a variance which would have allowed the establishment to close at 2 a.m., seven days a week.

The Zoning Board eventually approved a variance permitting

the operation to close at midnight Monday through Thursday and at 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.

The lawsuit was filed as a result of that decision.

City spokesperson Christine Christopher says that city officials haven’t decided how they’re going to deal with the court ruling.

“Right now, the city is researching its options,” she says.

The decision is sending nervous ripples through at least some of Rochester’s neighborhoods. Chris Stevens, president of the Upper Monroe Neighborhood Association, says her group is very concerned about the impact of the ruling.

Some party leaders say that the upcoming chair election and increased interest in party affairs after last year’s mayoral election are driving the unusual number of primaries. But other leaders cast the contests as a power struggle between different factions of the Democratic Party.

POLITICS | BY JEREMY MOULE

Obscure elections with high stakes The Monroe County Democratic Party has a long history of internal power struggles and racial tensions. And this year, the divisions are playing out in an unprecedented number of contested elections for committee seats.

The elections involve approximately 260 ground-level Democratic committee seats in parts of the city’s northeast and northwest. Committee primaries are fairly common, says Tom Ferrarese, the county’s Democratic elections commissioner, but they don’t typically happen on this scale.

The contests are crucial. Committee members vote on party endorsements, and on September 23, committee members countywide will vote on the party’s next chair. Current chair Joe Morelle is resigning.

Some party leaders say that the upcoming chair election and increased interest in party affairs after last year’s mayoral election are driving the unusual number of primaries. But other leaders cast the contests as a power struggle between different factions of the Democratic Party.

“It’s starting a civil war within the party,” says Anthony Plonczynski, chair of the 21st Legislative District committee on the city’s east side.

Here’s the longer version of what’s happening: the Monroe County Democratic Committee is made up of tiers of smaller committees. The City of Rochester is divided into several committees based on County Legislature districts. And these groups — called legislative district committees — are made up of even smaller election district committees, each with four seats.

The primaries involve approximately 65 city election district committees in the 21st, 26th, 28th, and 29th Legislative Districts.

Between all of the contests, more than 470 people are running for seats, Ferrarese says.

Some leaders say that it’s allies of State Assembly member David Gantt and Mayor Lovely Warren who are the ones passing petitions to force primaries. (Gantt did not return a phone call seeking comment.)

Plonczynski says the challenges are a power grab by Gantt and City Hall. But Warren, her husband, and her brother face primaries for the election district seats they hold in the 21st LD. Warren and Plonczynski circulated competing petitions for the seats.

But some of the contests also reflect known racial tensions within the party.

other in the 29th Legislative District committee, for example. And they’re going head to head in several election district primaries in the 29th District this year.

Molly Clifford, leader of the 28th Legislative District, says that there are vacant seats in her election district committees, and that some of the challengers could have been accommodated without running primaries.

Clifford says she isn’t sure why her district is being targeted. (It is worth noting, however, that Clifford campaigned for Tom Richards in last year’s mayoral race, even after he lost the Democratic primary.)

“It is what it is,” Clifford says.

Undocumented children at Blossom South?

The owner of the former Blossom South nursing home is interested in turning the now vacant home over to the federal government to house undocumented children who are facing deportation, according to an e-mail sent Sunday by Chris Stevens, president of the Upper Monroe neighborhood group, to neighbors.

The property at 1175 Monroe Avenue is owned by Israel Segal. A representative for Segal has reached out to the city, Stevens’ e-mail says.

The federal government needs facilities to house these children, the e-mail says, “and Mr. Segal believes that Blossom South would meet these needs.”

According to the e-mail, the facility is 68,000 square feet with 86 bedrooms. There are also kitchens, dayrooms, solariums, dining rooms, offices, and storage rooms, the e-mail says.

Jessica Alaimo, a spokesperson for Mayor Lovely Warren, sent over a statement on Tuesday. City officials are gathering information, the statement says, prior to any decision being made on Blossom South.

The city will discuss the matter with neighborhood groups, community service providers, and faith-based organizations before drafting any formal proposal, the statement says.

“As a community we have a moral obligation to show compassion to these young people,” Warren says in the statement.

EDUCATION | BY MARK HARE

Lessons for Rochester from Raleigh Garner Magnet High School, just outside Raleigh, North Carolina, has more than 2,400 students, with overflow classrooms in 14 standalone trailers on the 100-acre campus, and 48 more classrooms in temporary modular units. A few years back, the school district purchased an old movie theater across the street from Garner and converted it to a ninth-grade academy, where the school’s 700 freshmen spend most of their time.

Conventional wisdom is that Garner is too big to succeed — too big to deliver the attention that needy students require, and too big to police.

In Rochester, Garner, almost half again the size of East High School (our largest), would long ago have succumbed to the toxic air of failure that poisons our high-poverty schools.

In Rochester, the ed EMT’s would have first tried to revive Garner with a “reorganization plan” — which would likely mean converting the big school into two or three smaller schools housed under the same roof with a promise of better days ahead. Or the state would have decided, as it has with East, to shut it down so the school board could entertain proposals from so-called turnaround experts employing the shopworn Rochester strategy of conflating boosterism with healthy, informed optimism.

An optimist sees the obstacles to solving a problem and finds ways to overcome them and succeed; a booster doesn’t care about reality, wears a big smile, cheers loudly, and dismisses all critics as naysayers.

For the record, I am an optimist. But I am an old man and I long ago ran out of patience for school district and city officials who insist, despite our 40-year slide to educational catastrophe, that the city schools can fix themselves.

The decision to place East High in the hands of the University of Rochester is unlike anything the district has tried before and may yield ideas and approaches that could be part of a genuine turnaround. It’s far too early to know, but an optimist would keep an open mind.

Garner has no metal detectors (too many doors to police, says the principal, Drew Cook, and besides, there’s no need for tighter security).

Garner is not friction-free. Cook told a group of Rochester visitors recently, “If you’d been here yesterday, you’d have seen us seen trying to head off a gang fight.” (They did).

But Garner works quite well.

It works because way back in 1976, school officials in Raleigh and the surrounding Wake County, with the support of their representatives in the General Assembly, consolidated the Raleigh and Wake County schools. (They did so in defiance of their constituents who, in 1973, voted down school consolidation by a 2 to 1 margin.)

JULY 23-29, 2014

They knew that without consolidation, Raleigh would soon be left with all-minority, high-poverty, failing schools without the resources to turn themselves around or ever again attract businesses with employees who want good schools for their children. So Raleigh’s leaders did the right thing: They merged school systems and hoped voters would forgive them down the road. And mostly, they have.

Consolidating schools is a straightforward way to move toward economic integration, but not the only way. Besides, while state law in New York permits, even encourages, small city, suburban, and rural districts to merge, there is no clear path for the Big Five city school districts to consolidate with neighboring districts.

An effort to change that would be long, divisive, and probably unsuccessful. Why not look for other ways to achieve the same outcomes? We cannot replicate the RaleighWake County experience, but we can see from that history the value of working to eliminate high-poverty schools.

I am part of a group convened by Urban

Presbyterians Together (which advocates regional communitywide solutions to urban problems). This new group — the Great Schools for All Coalition — consists of educators and other professionals with a long-time passion for reforming Rochester’s city schools. We’re hoping to spark a community conversation, and — fairly quickly — some actions to deal with the persistent failure of Rochester’s highpoverty schools.

On a three-day fact-finding trip to Raleigh in April, we met with current and former school and elected officials, business leaders, teachers, parents, and students. We visited three schools and are sifting through our collective notes to see what lessons we can find for Rochester.

I’m not speaking here for the group; I’m only sharing my observations.

As more than one of our hosts pointed out, Raleigh is not the whole of North Carolina. Wake County is a Democratfriendly, fairly progressive region in what is becoming a bright red state. In 2009, a Tea Party slate took control of the Wake County Board of Education and immediately set out to reverse many of the reforms — the board pushed for a return to neighborhood schools, for example. The about-face shocked the county’s progressives into action and led to the formation of new organizing efforts that restored a Democratic majority two years later.

And Raleigh is not Rochester, which became a prosperous city because of hundreds of small and large homegrown manufacturers producing everything from yellow mustard to lenses that can see into deep space. The prospect of good-paying jobs drew thousands of blacks north in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Many of them settled here, but found neither good jobs nor decent housing. As the middle class moved out, the City of Rochester became poorer and the schools slipped into mediocrity and then into calamity.

Like most of North Carolina, the economy of Wake County outside Raleigh was once dominated by tobacco, textiles,

and furniture-making. But by the 1960’s that began to change with the development of Research Triangle Park, which drew major technology companies to an area defined by university hubs in Durham, Chapel Hill, and Raleigh. But the economy in Raleigh, the state capital, was and still is dominated by state government and now also by medical research. Theirs is increasingly a knowledge economy with very few exports.

Poverty was not merely an urban problem, although Raleigh still has its share of very poor neighborhoods. Wake County has lots of rural poverty. Indeed, in recent years, the business and political sectors have focused on rebuilding the urban core — downtown and its surrounding neighborhoods — often displacing lowincome families, who have been forced to look for housing outside the city, in more rural areas where affordable housing is in short supply.

So while Raleigh and Wake County have invented a school system worth mining for ideas, the community is no utopia.

That said, I was impressed with how deeply the community values economic integration — not as some gauzy abstraction, but as a central tool for understanding how

Young families know that wherever they live, in Raleigh or its suburbs, their children will have access to really good schools.. others live and think, and for continued growth. At Joyner Magnet Elementary School, a Spanish language immersion school in the heart of Raleigh, parents told us that the school, once derided as the “Joyner Ghetto,” has dramatically improved academically and has helped spark new confidence in the city’s public schools.

Young families have returned to the area.

Dilapidated rental homes have been replaced by new, upscale homes.

One Joyner dad said he had persuaded the home-building company he works for to add dozens of new homes adjacent to the Joyner campus. He said he was sold on the new Joyner by a conversation he had with his third-grade son who was telling dad about his best friend. “Is he white or black?” dad asked. The son thought about it, but said he didn’t know.

That’s just the way this parent wants his child to see the world.

In 1976, the newly minted Wake County

district had about 50,000 students. Today, the district has 150,000 students in 170 schools, spread out over 800 square miles.

(Rochester, by comparison, is a compact 36 square miles, while Monroe County’s land mass is 657 square miles.) The Raleigh district is growing by 3,500 students every year (largely a combination of Hispanic immigrants and employees of high-growth companies) and is constantly building and rebuilding schools to accommodate the steady stream of new families.

Initially, the consolidated district set out to racially integrate all schools, but by the 1990’s, it was clear that court challenges to “forced busing” might overturn the balance that Wake County officials had worked hard to achieve. They moved instead to integrate schools along socioeconomic lines, agreeing that poor continues on page 8 rochestercitynewspaper.com

students should not exceed 40 percent of any school’s population.

That mix, which has become ever more difficult to maintain, was based on research by the Century Foundation’s Richard Kahlenberg and others who found that the 40 percent number allows teachers to provide the necessary supports for educationally disadvantaged students without jeopardizing the success of the middle class or affluent majority. It is not, however, a magic number.

Wake County uses 34 magnet schools to entice suburban parents to send their children to city schools. This, in turn, has helped revitalize urban neighborhoods.

It’s pretty simple when you think about it: Young families know that wherever they live, in Raleigh or its suburbs, their children will have access to really good schools.

“Schools are essential to our marketing,” says John Wood, a former president of the Wake County Realtors Association.

“When we invest in our school system, we’re investing in our community.”

The magnets are central to a voluntary integration strategy, and the district is regularly looking for new programs to pull families to the schools — engineering, arts, science, and international studies, among them. The district has launched “early college” programs in several of its nonmagnet or “base schools,” offering a fifth year of high school that includes tuitionfree college courses — enough for students to complete an associate’s degree or two years of college credit to apply toward a four-year degree.

The magnets, by freeing-up seats in other schools, have allowed the district to provide a mix of lower and higher income children in all its schools, and to improve academic outcomes across the board.

Raleigh may have experienced an

educational epiphany in the 1970’s, but the decision to consolidate was also pragmatic. Thomas Bradshaw, Raleigh’s mayor from 1971 to 1973, told us: “Our business community could see that we had to act. If we didn’t do that, we’d be in a real world of hurt. IBM and others had come in, and we had to change.”

So how do the students, especially the poorest of them, do? The number of economically disadvantaged students at Garner — 50 percent — exceeds the ideal of 40 percent, but the four-year graduation rate of 80 percent is close to the district average, as are the grad rates for black students (69 percent), Hispanic students (66 percent), and economically disadvantaged students (65 percent).

County school officials are not satisfied with these numbers. But Rochester educators would die for them.

While Garner students are more segregated within the school than Principal Drew Cook would like, in large part because more of the students in advanced classes come from the most affluent families, “they still walk the same halls, participate in the spring musical, and play on the same athletic fields,” Cook says. That’s not ideal, but from the admittedly limited experience we had on our visit, the classrooms seem more integrated than those in either city or suburban schools in Rochester and Monroe County.

No one we spoke to in Wake County sugarcoats the problems. The testing gaps are far too high. There is a constant struggle to maintain a socioeconomic balance in schools (some schools have poverty levels above 50 percent) while addressing parental concerns that their children not be moved from school to school to achieve that balance. And each year brings thousands of new students in the schools, many of them poor and nonEnglish speaking, which complicates the pursuit of integration.

The challenge is compounded by finances. Per-pupil expenditures in Wake are about $8,400 this year (in Rochester, it’s over $19,000), and the biggest reason is compensation. In North Carolina, teachers are state, not school district employees and they are not represented by unions. Wake County and many other districts tack incentive pay onto the state minimums to attract teachers.

Wake County is struggling forward, while Rochester is just struggling.

But even with that, a starting teacher, hired at $35,189, would have to work 36 years to reach $62,000. And this year, the General Assembly voted to phase out the traditional pay bumps for teachers with master’s degrees. Poor pay is making it harder to attract and retain qualified teachers, and within the last year, 600 of Wake County’s 9,000 teachers left their jobs, most for financial reasons.

But Wake County is struggling forward, while Rochester is just struggling.

Integration has dramatically improved results in Raleigh, and helped build a community consensus that public schools are one of the county’s best assets, not its chief liability.

Former Wake County superintendent Del Burns puts it this way: “People always say to me, ‘How does sitting next to a rich white kid make a poor black kid smarter?’

It doesn’t. But the parents of those richer kids will bring pressure to make sure those schools have the resources they need.”

Lynn Edmonds, a member of the advocacy group Great Schools in Wake, and the mother of a middle schooler and a high schooler, says economic integration “gives your children the benefit of being around children who are not just like

Children continues from page 3

them. I would encourage them (parents) to embrace that.”

Edmonds and other middle-class parents say that integration has taught them and their children to appreciate the assets each child brings to school (fluency in Spanish, for example) and not to see poor children as recipients of suburban largesse.

What I learned from Raleigh is that

building and maintaining an urban school system that gives all children, regardless of their ZIP codes, access to great schools is hard work. But that commitment to high-quality schools has reinvigorated city neighborhoods and become a source of community pride and confidence about the future.

Rochester is not Raleigh and will have to find its own path.

The hundreds or thousands of volunteers, many of them suburbanites, who tutor or otherwise assist in Rochester schools do important work and, as many of them will tell you, receive more from their time with the children than they give. That impulse to help is to be cheered and encouraged, as is the work of the city’s many dedicated teachers and principals.

City school board President Van White says he recognizes that the concentration of poverty is the elephant in the living room, but adds that “there is such a huge margin for improvement” that there are steps the district can take on its own to improve outcomes. So have at it.

But none of these efforts will “fix” the city schools. We must find a way to economically integrate our schools with middle class, affluent, and poor students in the same classrooms. We’re going to have to build partnerships across district lines and open schools that parents of all economic backgrounds can support. And time is running out. We can go where the research leads us, or ignore the data to our peril.

Rochester has become what the people of Raleigh and Wake County acted to avert 38 years ago: a cluster of highpoverty failing schools in neighborhoods largely abandoned by young and middleclass families.

Am I angry? Yes, and you should be, too.

Enough.

site. Mayor Lovely Warren and her senior staff are studying that inquiry, to assess the facility and the children’s needs and to talk with area neighborhood groups, service providers, and faith groups.

In a press release on Tuesday, Warren said that if the children are to be housed in Rochester, “it is imperative we ensure that the environment is a safe one for them, where they can receive not only the legal support, but the spiritual and emotional support that they will need in order to make the transition back home or to another place of safety.”

Obviously the children can’t be placed just anywhere. Federal officials have been studying such things as vacant retail stores that could be adapted as temporary shelters. In Syracuse, federal officials are considering housing the children at a site owned by the Sisters of St. Francis.

In Monroe County, federal officials determined that the buildings they first studied weren’t suitable.

This county doesn’t lack for empty and under-utilized buildings, though. Rather than protests and political rants from the anti-immigrant forces and a deafening silence from the rest of us, I hope we’ll follow the example of Rochester’s mayor. If the Blossom South property isn’t suitable, we can find another.

In her statement on Tuesday, Warren said what other politicians and community leaders ought to be saying: “As a community we have a moral obligation to show compassion to these young people.”

The plight of the immigrant children is “a humanitarian crisis,” John Ghertner told me last week. “We have an obligation to support a population in need.” After the devastating hurricane, Americans responded with aid – and shelter. “We took in thousands of people,” Ghertner said. “There was no question at all about taking them in.

We have an obligation as Americans to protect the lives of people.”

Ghertner reminds us that Greater Rochester was an exceptionally welcoming community during and after the Vietnam War, providing homes and aid for numerous refugees. Nor can we ignore the role this country plays: through our demand for drugs and our history of supporting brutal Central American governments.

Now, Americans are slamming the door on children, many of whom have fled trauma and violence and face more if we turn them away.

We ought to be ashamed of ourselves.

Dining

Lucca Wood-Fire Bistro follows a Neapolitan style of using wood fire ovens to cook pizza, like the Luigi Pizza (right): mozzarella, Italian sausage, tomatoes, banana peppers, and goat cheese. The restaurant also serves other Italian-style fare, like the Roasted Pear Salad (left): mixed greens with gorgonzola, candied walnuts, and balsamic vinaigrette. PHOTOS BY MARK CHAMBERLIN

Keeping the oven fires burning Lucca Wood-Fire Bistro 90 WEST MAIN STREET, VICTOR SUMMER HOURS (THROUGH AUGUST 31): TUESDAY – THURSDAY: 11:30 A.M. TO 9 P.M.; FRIDAY: 11:30 A.M. TO 10 P.M.; SATURDAY: 12 P.M. TO 10 P.M.; SUNDAY: 12 P.M. TO 7 P.M. 924-9009; LUCCAWFPIZZA.COM [ REVIEW ] BY LAURA REBECCA KENYON

The modern pizza originated, as you probably know, in Naples, Italy. There’s a long, global history of flat breads, but the story goes that it was in Naples that flat breads were first topped with tomatoes — and later buffalo-milk mozzarella — giving birth to what we now think of as pizza.

You’ll still find Neapolitan pizzerias baking pizzas in wood-fire ovens, similar to the one used at Lucca Wood-Fire Bistro, 90 West Main Street in Victor. Lucca’s wood-stove oven is the main focal point of its interior dining room, with a 5-foot deck encased in light, blocky stones. It burns up to 60 pieces of wood per day, fueled by green ash logs supplied by a local company, and reaches temperatures between 575 and 650 degrees.

The oven is a bit of a mixed blessing. Its heat yields tempting pizzas with well-browned crusts and a texture that’s crisp with pleasant chew. But the oven can only fit six small or three large pies at once. With cook times ranging from 7 to 10 minutes, a pizza won’t arrive at your table for 25 minutes and, during peak service, that wait can stretch to an hour.

On my visit, to bide time until the pizza was ready, my friends and I sampled some lighter fare, including the Caprese salad ($7.50). Four hefty slices of fresh mozzarella are paired with equally hefty beefsteak tomato slices and topped with basil. With tomatoes and basil in season, Caprese salads are made for summer eating. While full of flavor, in this version the tomatoes were a bit pale and the basil, cut in a chiffonade, looked dark at the edges, indicating that it had been allowed to sit for a little while. The mozzarella was brightly white, mild and milky — fresh and beautiful. Drizzled on top was deliciously syrupy balsamic glaze; the vinegar’s acid was balanced by sugars that were concentrated as the vinegar was cooked down and reduced.

The balsamic glaze made another appearance, drizzled over the wood-fired pork shanks appetizer ($8). On-the-bone pork is tossed in a garlic-infused olive oil, sprinkled

with seasonings, and fired in the oven before being plated with shavings of parmesan cheese and the balsamic glaze. The meat is plentiful and juicy; it would be easy to make this a light entrée. The balsamic glaze shines again, elevating the entire dish. Though the menu states that there are three pork shanks to an order, my appetizer came with four.

The best appetizer we sampled was the roasted pear salad ($7.50). Slices of warm, spiced pear top a bed of mixed greens tossed with balsamic vinaigrette, and are garnished with crumbles of gorgonzola cheese and candied walnuts. The mix of hot and cold, plus sweet, tangy, mild, and funky notes, makes this salad a winner. If there’s any downside, it’s that there are too many walnuts — there was a handful still on the plate after everything else was eaten.

If you visit Lucca, however, it will be the pizza

that draws you in. You can smell it baking from the street. Dough is made daily by chef and owner Matthew Gervasi and his team. Sauces — traditional red, garlic and olive oil, basil pesto, and BBQ — are made in-house; the red sauce is made with the famed San Marzano variety of plum tomatoes, and are roasted in the wood-fire oven before processing.

The menu offers 10 specialty pizzas ranging from $10 to $24 depending on pizza size and toppings. You can also create your own pizza with a variety of topping choices, including the familiar red sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni, to less typical choices like BBQ sauce, Lively Run goat cheese, or pineapple.

The Luigi specialty pizza (10-inch: $11.75; 16-inch: $22.50) pairs the traditional red sauce and mozzarella, with Italian sausage crumbles, tomato slices, banana peppers, and goat cheese. I was surprised at how well the goat cheese — which can sometimes evoke a ripe barnyard — harmonized with the peppers’ acidic edge and sausage’s oily richness. The toppings are spread nearly to the edge of the pizza; there is only a half-inch strip of browned, naked crust. Underneath, a few grains of cornmeal (which help prevent the pizza from sticking to the oven) are blackened, but they are few and far between and don’t lend any burned flavors to the pizza.

The Funghi specialty pizza (10-inch: $12.25: 16-inch: $23.25) is not bad but underwhelming. It starts with a garlic and oil sauce and mozzarella, topped by roasted peppers, spinach, white and portabella mushrooms, prosciutto, and a drizzle of truffle oil. The vegetables were lightly cooked and would have benefitted from further roasting or sautéing to bring out additional flavor. The garlic and prosciutto were difficult to taste; odd as both of these have distinct flavors.

In the past year or so, Gervasi revised the menu, removing some items and adding others. One of the pizzas removed was the Mario, a simple pizza made with red sauce, mozzarella, meatballs, Parmesan, and fresh basil. Fortunately, it can be ordered through the make-your-own pizza menu, running you about $11.25 for a 10-inch pizza. There’s just enough cheese and meatballs on the pizza to keep things flavorful without forcing you to eat a slice with a knife and fork. (I still miss seeing the Mario listed next to the Luigi on the pizza menu, though.)

In addition to salads and pizzas, Lucca offers a selection of wines and beers, Panini, and wood-fired chicken wings. The restaurant is popular year round, but seems to reach a fevered pitch in the summer, when the porch and patio are open for al fresco dining. It’s nice to sit outside, catch a breeze, watch the traffic pass by — and wait for your pie to come out, hot from the wood-fire oven.

Royal Blood WEDNESDAY, JULY 23 THE CLUB AT WATER STREET, 204 N. WATER STREET 8 P.M. | $10 | WATERSTREETMUSIC.COM; ROYALBLOODBAND.COM

Rod Piazza’s howlin’ harp attack is a dazzling azure collision of the down and dirty grit of Chicago blues with post-war jump blues’ accelerated swing. Dressed like a used car salesman in an Easter parade and under a slick crop of silver, Piazza leads the Mighty Flyers through “Emergency Situation” — a swingin’ barrage of classic cuts by folks like Amos Milburn, Sam Myers, and Lee Dorsey, as well as his own material.

The band bops and sways and stays out of the way as Piazza leans on the harp heavy and hard. Piazza is the master of thick, electric, chunky freight train riffs and is easily one of the best harmonicats in the world. And he’s got the history to back it up, having cut his teeth as a young man sharing gigs with the likes of Big Mama Thornton, Big Joe Turner, and “T-Bone” Walker. You can hear them in the Mighty Flyer mix along with that amazing harp. The tempo and tone variety in “Emergency Situation” makes it is a swell party platter for your rumpus room, or a soundtrack for cruising around with no particular place to go.

The English duo — vocalist-bassist Mike Kerr and drummer Ben Thatcher — released its four-track debut EP, “Out of the Black,” in March, and it’s a great example of how alternative rock can still be heavy, bluesy, noisy, and exciting without crowding a stage. There is a fierceness to Royal Blood, but it’s calculated and intelligent — not loud for the sake of being loud, hiding behind pounding drums. “Out of the Black” is a great North American introduction for the band ahead of its eponymous fulllength out in August. — BY JAKE CLAPP

Greg Townson

UNM SKED MUSIC FEATURE AND PHOTOS | BY FRANK DE BLASE

Townson strapped on his guitar and walked out on stage to the roar of 50,000 Los Straitjackets fans … 50,000 Mexicans there to watch four Americans in Mexican wrestling masks. But the locals found no offense in this obvious lampoon. They got it. 50,000 Los Straitjackets fans can’t be wrong.

“It was amazing,” Townson says about the experience. “We have a strong following in Mexico of course, with the Lucha Libre masks, and we celebrate this silly side of Mexican Culture. The thing is Lucha Libre is so ridiculous; it’s wrestling. I think if we were dressing up in Mariachi outfits it would be a different story because that’s a very serious part of the culture. Lucha Libre is totally absurd and they know that. It’s all just for fun. They totally get that.”

And now, there’s even lampooning of the lampoon going on.

“After Los Straitjackets, there are bands playing instrumental music with Lucha Libre masks because of us,” Townson says. “They’ve taken what we’ve done and run with it.”

The Foro Sol stadium show was the culmination for Townson. The 49-year-old Rochester native was blown away.

“Man, walking out on that stage,” Townson says. “I turned to a friend and said ‘What am I doing here?’ The day after that show in front of 50,000 people, I was booking a happy hour at Abilene.”

Talk about decompression.

Rock ‘n’ roll, big or small, is in the man’s

The big black Limousine rolled up slow and ominous on Foro Sol Stadium in Mexico City. Sitting in the back, dressed in black and sporting Luchador masks, was instrumental surf rock band Los Straitjackets — the furthest thing from Mexican wrestlers as you can get. As the limo got closer, guitarist Greg Townson’s anticipation mounted. He knew the band had a big following in Mexico, and both Mexico City shows had sold out. Still, he wasn’t prepared for what he saw next.

blood. He’s a singer, a songwriter, a guitar player, and producer with an unlimited drive that won’t be denied. And according to Townson, the same goes for those he works with.

“They’re all musicians and they can’t help themselves,” he says. “There is no plan B.” Whereas the multiple layers of Townson’s musical career may read like a sort of contingency plan, they are all equally important.

He’s had some extraordinary experiences along the way.

Starting off in the Rochester music scene in The Essentials, which morphed into the ramshackle, NRBQ-esque boogie-barband The Salamanders, Townson had the opportunity to work with legends like Bo Diddley, Bill Doggett, and Pee Wee Ellis to name a few. Most notably, Townson is known for his 15 years fronting The Hi-Risers — a post Mersey beat, poppy roots rock outfit which packs any venue it plays. This included venues with Los Straitjackets.

The two bands met after head Straitjacket, Eddie Angel put out a couple Hi-Risers platters on his Spinout Records label. When Los Straitjackets canned its drummer they hired on Hi-Risers stick man, Jason Smay.

“The Hi-Risers did a bunch of shows on the road opening for Los Straitjackets, further solidifying the friendship. When guitarist Danny Amis aka Daddy O Grande got sick, Townson was Amis’ first pick to replace him.

“I couldn’t say no really,” Townson says. “And I loved the music and I loved all the guys.”

Townson assures that The Hi-Risers still exists. But after 15 years, it’s not on the top of his list of priorities, though he pines a little.

“I felt like I needed a break,” he says.

“I wanted to put out my solo record, I wanted to do production work, I wanted to do projects besides The Hi-Risers. It’s been a wonderful thing and I miss it right now more than ever. It still exists. In fact, I just spent a lot of effort and time

“I love Nick Lowe’s records,” Townson says. “And now I’m working with the same people. It’s one of the luckiest things that’s happened to me.”

Townson is also busy writing music for TV and movie placement with Los Straitjackets.

“Being an instrumental band has been an advantage,” he says. “Most of the time, music supervisors are looking for instrumental pieces of music.” He currently has 50 different song ideas in the works.

and money into an archival project of all of our stuff. I mean, we put out eight records with tons of outtakes, and with digital technology being what it is, this stuff could disappear. It’s not like tape; tape is forever.”

Labels in Spain and Germany are gung ho to re-issue the band’s material. The Hi-Risers’ tour of Spain last year sold out in every city it played.

As Townson brings up more and more activities keeping him busy, he refers to his notes.

“I have to,” he says, laughing as he scans down the list written on a rumpled piece of paper. “Because I can’t think straight. There’s all this stuff.”

He’s played on singer-songwriter Eleni Mandell’s record “Let’s Fly A Kite” for Yep Roc. It has a “kind of a John Doe, angry waitress feel to it,” Townson says.

He has produced Hillbilly Moon Explosion from Zurich. And he got the opportunity to record some of his new solo CD, “On Your Side,” in London at Gold Top Studios with members of Nick Lowe’s band.

Despite the globetrotting, Townson’s home

and heart are in Rochester.

“I want to play locally,” he says. “I love our fans here. I truly appreciate the support that we’ve gotten over the years. I do not take it for granted.”

Townson is a familiar face in Rochester rock ‘n’ roll, and has been for years. His easygoing smile belies the guitar monster onstage. With Los Straitjackets there’s a bit more mystique … and longevity.

“That’s the best thing about it for me,” he says. “I get to take off the suit and mask and then go out into the audience and hear people talk about it. Because then you really hear the truth.”

For instance? “‘They were cool, but those masks were really stupid,’” Townson relays. So even though the band remains ageless (and anonymous) behind its masks, Townson doesn’t necessarily see the need.

“With traditional rock ‘n’ roll you can’t be too old for it,” he says “There’s nothing wrong with being in your late 40’s unless you’re trying to be in your early 20’s, you know?

Traditional rock ‘n’ roll you can play forever.”

And chances are he will.

EXPERIMENTAL ROCK | MAN MAN

If there is one word that can sum up Man Man’s musical style, it would have to be “experimental.” The Philadelphia-based group’s horn and bass drum dominated sound is accompanied by lead singer Honus Honus’ crooning voice, combining to make odd, yet magical music. The lyrics don’t stray far from the experimental theme — like on the track “Big Trouble,” Honus Honus sings, “Woe is me, I’m a zombie, forever falling like peanut brittle all over your tits” — but it’s another element that makes the band a unique treasure. Live shows are where the group really shines, as the members put everything they have into their performances.

AMERICANA | MIKE BROWN

Mike Brown, by himself, is a better folk act than most full-scale projects. His skill as a guitarist/dobro player and singer-songwriter is unparalleled. Using a loop pedal, Brown layers and synchronizes beats and progressions, cleverly creating a full band sound that stomps and moves like a raucous barn bash. His lyrics are thought-provoking as they weave over his plucked finger style. It’s roots music, and with all the percussive riffs, it revolves and moves much like Native American or African music does, keeping your head bobbing and your dusty boots moving.

Mike Brown will perform with MVT, The Straw House Uncertainty, and Earth Science on Friday, July 25, at the Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Avenue. 9 p.m. $6-$8. Bugjar.com.

Theater may do the things they do. Some are good and some are not so good, but they all have souls and I hope they generate sympathy.

“I think I show sex in a real, not overly romanticized way. The play is partly about the murkiness of consent, and about how we figure out what we want in relationships. What does it mean to be coupled — to you and to the other person?

What is the middle ground? It’s about the confusions of modern love, informed by hook-up culture.” (The play’s realistic depictions of sex and violence make it inappropriate for children under 17.)

If the theater lacks a young audience, it may be in part because young people don’t often see themselves portrayed realistically on stage.

Spencer Christiano’s “Cow Town,” a new play opening this weekend at MuCCC, addresses that situation, holding a mirror up to modern behavior, good and bad.

“Cow Town” is about … a lot of different things. Christiano sets his play “in a small town in upstate New York and the large city nearby,” which should have a familiar ring. The play is focused on the interactions of four young adults, including people who left town to go to college and remained in the city, and their friends who stayed put. Whether in the city or the country,

the present and the future are equally bleak and confused for all of them.

“It’s about that time in your life when you’ve graduated from college and don’t know what to do with your life,” says Melyssa Hall, the director of “Cow Town.” “When you come back home, but home no longer gets you. All our lives we’ve been told about our endless possibilities. Then suddenly we find ourselves feeling this inertia set in — realizing that possibilities aren’t endless, and having no idea what to do with our lives or our relationships.”

The characters’ lives play out against a specifically contemporary background of economic uncertainty and diminished expectations, enormous college debts and deadend jobs, and, to quote Hall, “behavior that would make our parents disappointed in us.”

That behavior — involving booze, drugs, and sex — leads to bad decisions and desperate, sometimes violent, confrontations.

Christiano calls the play “a slice of life,” and admits, “There are not a lot of clear answers in it, but I hope that I can see the reasons why the characters do what they do. It can be scary to emphasize with someone who does bad things. I don’t judge my characters very much, I observe them and ask why they

Christiano, who graduated from Aquinas Institute in 2005, has written several plays that have been produced at Geva Nextstage, SUNY Brockport, the University of Rochester — and at MuCCC, where he is now an artistin-residence. In the case of “Cow Town,” the phrase “artist-in-residence” has multiple meanings, since Christiano not only wrote the play, he is producing it, and designed the set, lighting, and sound.

Melyssa Hall, a 2013 graduate of SUNY Geneseo, met Christiano at a MuCCC College Theater Festival. He gave her the script of “Cow Town” and, she says, “I immediately understood what this play was about. I hadn’t read anything about the generation of people we belong to — people in our mid-20’s — that was also written by one of us.” She originally wanted to perform in it, but Christiano persuaded her to direct it instead.

MuCCC helped Christiano develop his script, which he started to write about a year ago. The author and the director recall that “Cow Town” was controversial from its initial reading with a group of theater professionals. “There were some serious opinions about some of these characters and their behavior,” Hall says.

“The play has definitely had polarizing reactions,” Christiano adds. But they both hope they’ve come up with a play and production that, in their words, “people will want to talk about afterwards.”

Both Hall and Christiano note that it can be difficult to get people in their 20’s to come to see a play, as opposed to watching a movie or a TV show, but they hope they will find “Cow Town” worth the effort — and that it strikes a nerve with them.

“I want so badly for theater to speak to younger people,” Hall says.

“Theater is real,” Christiano says. “It’s people gathering in a certain place at a certain time and paying attention to the same thing.

It is absolutely the correct medium in which to say things to the community. All theater is community theater.”

FESTIVAL | TEN UGLY MEN FESTIVAL

The Ten Ugly Men is a non-profit organization operated by, you guessed it, ten “ugly” men with a single goal in mind: to put on huge festivals and donate the proceeds to charity. As if the allure of unlimited amounts of chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, ice cream, and various other snacks wasn’t enough of a draw by itself, the Ten Ugly Men Festival also features no shortage of sports activities. There’s a “Color Me Ugly” 5K run — where runners are pelted with color-bombs — kickball and volleyball tournaments, and soon-to-be-announced live music happening all day long. All proceeds from the festival will go toward local charities, such as the Sojourner House at PathStone, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, the Unity Health Oncology Center, and Equicenter.

The 25th Annual Ten Ugly Men Festival will take place Saturday, July 26, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., at the Genesee Valley Park, 1000 East River Road. Advance tickets are $25, and $35 the day of. Tickets for kids 13 to 20 are $10, kids 12 and under get in for free. For more information, visit tenuglymen.com.

Rochester’s annual, week-long muralmaking festival, Wall Therapy, kicked off officially on Friday, July 27. Most of the out-of-town artists have arrived and are now working on their large-scale public artworks under this year’s portraiture theme. Due to scheduling, a couple more artists will have arrived by midweek and have a later start. Gloomy weather and downpours held up production on some of the pieces, but the promise of sunnier days ahead should help matters considerably.

San Diego artist Sam Rodriguez arrived on Thursday, a bit ahead of the rest of this year’s lineup, and began his piece at Atlantic and Greenleaf Streets — the site of Wall Therapy’s “Writes of Spring,” which took place in April. He has since finished his mural, a brightly hued and beautiful face enhanced with elements of typography. This is Rodriguez’s first time to Rochester, and he brought his young family along on a working vacation. You can read an interview with Rodriguez online at Rochestercitynewspaper.com.

OMEN 514, of Montreal, is working on a painterly portrait of a lovely lady also at Atlantic and Greenleaf. Air conditioning units and crenulations in the warehouse walls disappear as the viewer takes in the gal’s delicate features. One eye is subtly lost as OMEN characteristically toys with obscurity. The work is a striking representation of flesh and shadow so far.

New York City-based artist Alice Mizrachi began painting Saturday in the Susan B. Anthony Neighborhood, on the north side of 53-59 King Street, facing Silver Street. Mizrachi invited students from Rochester Prep to paint with her throughout the weekend, and together with the kids, she coordinated work on a piece which features a diverse group of faces and the words, “Together we stand in peace.” The artist will continue working solo throughout the week at the same location.

Also working at 53-59 King Street is Baltimore-based artist Ernest Shaw Jr., who is nearing completion on his prismatic portrait of Jimi Hendrix’s captivating gaze. A bit of historic trivia:

in July of 1967, The Jimi Hendrix Experience was set to open for The Monkees in Rochester, but having quickly grown weary of mindless teen girls calling for the British headliners during his set, Hendrix left the Monkees tour a few dates shy of his scheduled performance at the War Memorial.

Also on the west side, Jarus, of Canada, has made great progress at 390 Seward Street on a moody, warm-toned Detail of the Wall Therapy mural by Sam Rodriguez at Atlantic and Greenleaf Streets.

DANCE | SALSA UNDER THE SUMMER STARS

This Friday, Essence of Rhythm Latin Dance Co. is hosting a salsa cruise on the 80-foot boat Harbor Belle. It is the second year the dance group has offered the cruise, the only one in upstate New York.

Darren Price, Artistic Director of the company since its inception 3 years ago and owner of the 5-year-old Rhythm Society Urban Wellness Center (758 South Avenue), told City last week that tickets have been purchased by Latin dance aficionados from as far as Ithaca, Buffalo, and Syracuse. “[It’s] part of a consistently thriving social dance scene in Rochester. Much more so than Buffalo or Syracuse. People travel to dance here,” Price said.

The cruise leaves from the Charlotte pier at 7 p.m. (boarding at 6:15), Friday, July 25, and returns at 10 p.m., giving guests three hours to dance on the ship’s upper deck to salsa, meringue, bacchante, and other Latin music from a live DJ while enjoying the summer sunset from Lake Ontario. Guests are encouraged to “dress to impress.” Onboard festivities include a salsa dance lesson and contest. Pizza and wings are provided.

There is a cash bar on the lower level for those 21 years old and over (although people over 18 are welcome on the cruise).

Tickets are $30 in advance; $55 for two people. Only a handful remain. Purchase online at rhythm-society.org.

The after-party, with more dancing and a live band, Sonidos Unidos, will be at Papaya Asian Bar at Marketplace Mall in Henrietta. Papaya regularly hosts a salsa night that draws in the Latin dance community. If the cruise sells out, there’s still the after-party. Besides, Price is already talking about maybe hosting another salsa cruise in mid-September.

THEATER | “WITNESS OF KITTY GENOVESE”

Canada’s Circus Orange will perform “Tricycle” on Friday, September 19, as part of the Rochester Fringe Festival. The high-flying wheel (seen here) is part of the performance’s finale. PHOTO PROVIDED

Rochester Fringe Festival announces headliners [ PREVIEW ] BY JAKE CLAPP

The First Niagara Rochester Fringe Festival, last week, announced the headlining acts of this year’s event, which will take place September 18 to 27 in multiple venues in Downtown Rochester. Capping the more than 380 shows of this year’s festival will be performance company Circus Orange, acrobatic troupe Cirque Du Fringe, comedian Jay Pharoah, and a walk-through presentation of Spoon River Rochester.

Organizers also announced the return of the “Magic Crystal” Spiegeltent, following a popular reception at last year’s festival — when Rochester Fringe became the first fringe festival in North America to incorporate a Spiegeltent.

Now in its third year, the Rochester Fringe Festival has grown to be one of the largest multi-arts festivals in the state, and one of the highest attended fringe festivals in the U.S., organizers said. Last year, Rochester Fringe counted more than 50,000 attendees during the 10-day festival — a quick growth from 32,000 attendees over 5 days in 2012.

More than 120 of this year’s performances are free, including the performance

by Canada’s Circus Orange. The troupe — who mix circus, dance, acting, aerial arts, fire, pyrotechnics, and special effects for grandiose larger-than-life theatrical performances — will perform “Tricycle” on Friday, September 19, at Martin Luther King Jr. Park at Manhattan Square. The performance will start at 7:30 pm. An 18foot tall tricycle, accompanied by music and special effects, will wind through the 26 CITY JULY 23-29, 2014

crowd on Court Street, culminating in a fiery, high-flying performance.

Saturday Night Live’s Jay Pharoah will be this year’s comedy headline with two shows (9:30 and 11:30 p.m.) in the Spiegeltent on Saturday, September 20. Pharoah has recently become a rising comedy star due to his stand-up and celebrity impressions — those who watch SNL will recognize his Barack Obama, Will Smith, Kanye West, and Eddie Murphy imitations.

Cirque du Fringe will also take full advantage of the Spiegeltent with “Mardi Gras!” a new production hosted by twisted 20 Penny Circus, featuring the Kenya Safari Acrobats and a musical mix of New Orleans jazz, blues, funk, and R&B. Pushing the divisions of audience and performer, Spoon River Rochester is a free walk-through performance of Edgar Lee Masters’ Spoon River Anthology. Masters’ collection incorporates 244 free-form poems narrating the epitaphs of the deceased residents of Spoon River, a fictional small town. During Spoon River Rochester, created by local group Method Machine, audiences will roam along Gibbs Street, among the 300 performers reciting epitaphs. Fringe Festival organizers said this is the largest production anywhere of Masters’ work.

The headliners are just a fraction of the Fringe Festival’s full lineup. The full schedule of acts — many of which are produced by local performers — is now available at Rochesterfringe.com.

Individual tickets and the Fringe Fanatic Pass ($190) are now available on the festival’s website.

For Americans over 50, the name Kitty Genovese still conjures up uncomfortable memories. On March 13, 1964, this young woman was stabbed to death outside her Queens apartment; neighbors heard her screams but did nothing to help her. Her case, and her name, quickly became a byword for urban loneliness, fear, and lack of caring. The Kitty Genovese case has inspired songs, movies, and now a new play by local writer J.R. Teeter, “The Witnesses of Kitty Genovese,” based on first-person source material. “Everything that is said in the play was originally said by that character’s real life counterpart,” says Teeter, who hopes audience members will recognize themselves in one of the characters, whether it’s the victim, a witness, or the criminal. The show kicks off Bread & Water Theatre’s grand opening at its new home on West Main Street, former home of the T&T Boxing Gym. Bread and Water Theatre presents “The Witnesses of Kitty Genovese,” Thursday, July 25, through Sunday, August 10, at 172 West Main Street. $8-$14; no patron will be turned away for an inability to pay.

Spies against spies “A Most Wanted Man”

(R), DIRECTED BY ANTON CORBIJN OPENING FRIDAY, JULY 25, AT THE LITTLE [ REVIEW ] BY GEORGE GRELLA

When the Berlin Wall came down, the Soviet Union collapsed, and the specter of international communism ceased its decades of haunting the frightened souls of the West, many commentators wondered if the espionage novelist John le Carré would suddenly run out of subjects. But the author, one of the best contemporary English novelists, simply applied his talents to other areas of international treachery and criminality — global corporate capitalism, CIA destabili-

zation of democratically elected governments, American support of tyrants, and of course, since September 11, 2001, actions of right-wing officials in the so-called war on terror.

The new film, “A Most Wanted Man,” adapted from le Carré’s 2008 novel, and starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, demonstrates just how current events provide a rich subject for the author’s examination of the practice of espionage in our time. The movie involves the quest of a German intelligence officer, Gűnther Bachmann (Hoffman), for the particular funding source of an Al-Qaeda operation. Typically, that search leads the protagonist through several twisting paths to some surprising and ultimately devastating truths.

The movie takes place in Hamburg, where Issa Karpov (Grigoriy Dobrygin), a Chechen refugee who has escaped Russian torture, now seeks asylum in Germany. He attracts the attention of Bachmann’s people, who keep tabs on Muslim residents in their city, and maintain a particular interest in Abdullah (Homayoun Ershadi), a leader in that community.

They discover that Issa has inherited

a large sum of money, kept in a bank specializing in laundering cash run by Tommy Brue (Willem Dafoe); the devout Issa wants to donate all his wealth, through Abdullah, to a variety of Chechen institutions — hospitals, schools, clinics, etc.

That odd situation inspires Bachmann to conduct

a series of tricky maneuvers and draws in a number of otherwise innocent individuals. He blackmails Tommy Brue into cooperating with Issa’s plans and his own scheme to nail the Al-Qaeda cell by tracing the cash. He also arrests and interrogates Annabel Richter (Rachel McAdams), the immigration lawyer helping Issa to win asylum.

When the picture shows that Bachmann must deal with a good deal more than his initial task, it captures the typical le Carré fascination with the actual procedures of espionage and the competition among various agencies for information and above all, power. Bachmann’s work amounts to a continuing practice of duplicity and brutality, encouraging agents to betray their friends and families, intimidating the innocent, punishing victims, all in the name of protecting his country. He also contends with rivals in the intelligence community, particularly the CIA in the person of Martha Sullivan (Robin Wright), who harbors her own plans for the handling of Abdullah and the Al-Qaeda connections.

“A Most Wanted Man” employs its locations in Hamburg and Berlin to reinforce the convincing reality of its people and actions. Its constant

Triple feature [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

shifting among its various, initially unconnected people reflects the complications of espionage in a changing world, and endows the author’s understated, often cerebral narrative with a fine sense of energy and movement.

In addition, the actors also participate in the authenticity of their context, a world where tension and danger lurk beneath the surface, where the only explosion of violence occurs as a complete and shocking surprise that ironically demonstrates even deeper levels of treachery. Philip Seymour Hoffman, as usual, excels as Bachmann, a weary, corpulent spymaster fueled by cigarettes and booze, desperate and lonely, contending with both enemies and allies, and apparently willing to do anything to track down his quarry.

Above all, once again faithful to the author’s vision, “A Most Wanted Man” also shows the real meaning of espionage, its systematic practice of manipulation and deceit, its endless layers of betrayal. It illustrates the author’s continuing obsession with the morality of people who consciously violate the laws they profess to defend, who use and abuse innocent people to achieve a sometimes dubious goal.

In its depiction of electronic surveillance, the kidnaping of ordinary citizens off the streets of a Western city, the imprisonment of victims without any charges, the icy cruelty of professional bureaucrats pledged to wage a war against an abstraction, the disregard for anything resembling simple human decency, it actually reflects the world we all inhabit, like it or not.

“Sex Tape”

“Manakamana”

“Venus in Fur”

(R), DIRECTED BY JAKE KASDAN NOW PLAYING

(NR), DIRECTED BY STEPHANIE SPRAY AND PACHO VELEZ SCREENS TUESDAY, JULY 29, AT THE DRYDEN

(NR), DIRECTED BY ROMAN POLANSKI OPENS FRIDAY AT THE LITTLE

In the high-concept farce, “Sex Tape,” Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel star as a long-married couple who, in an attempt to reignite the marital fires, record an epic, marathon-length session of lovemaking, only to find out the next morning that their amorous adventures have been accidentally uploaded to “the cloud” and synced to several iPads they’ve gifted to various friends and family.

Their bumbling efforts to get the video back makes up the major conflict of the film, and while it’s not a terrible premise as far as these things go, the execution is only sporadically funny. The film attempts to explore similar thematic terrain as “Neighbors” (Nicholas Stoller, the director of that film, serves as one of three screenwriters here), but that was a much sharper comedy about a couple’s attempt to keep maturity from atrophying into boring adulthood. With limp direction from Jake Kasdan and a shockingly noncommittal performance from Segel, “Sex Tape” functions most successfully as a feature-length commercial for Apple products.

Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz in “Sex Tape.”

Manakamana is the name of a sacred Hindu temple built high in the mountains of Nepal. While it once took days to reach the destination, in the late 90’s a cablecar system was installed, reducing the journey to a leisurely 10-minute ride. This increased convenience made the temple more accessible than ever, and turned it into a tourist destination. Working with Harvard University’s Sensory Ethnography Lab, filmmakers Stephanie Spray and Pacho Velez assemble 11 unbroken takes documenting the rides to and from the temple, made by worshipers, tourists, and in one memorable case, a car loaded with bleating goats, to create a mesmerizingly evocative snapshot of humanity.

For 10 minutes at a time, we’re allowed to simply observe the travelers, sometimes chatting with one another, other times simply sitting quietly. In the stillness and the silence, we don’t learn much about these people, and we have ample time to study their individual faces, reading into their expressions and imagining our own stories about where they’re coming from or where they might eventually be headed. It requires some patience to grow accustomed to the film’s unique rhythms, but there are innumerable pleasures to be found. From a rooster that suddenly pops into frame midway through one journey, to the attempt by two women to consume their rapidly melting ice cream before they must disembark, or musicians tuning their instruments, the individual moments have a cumulatively poignant and profound impact.

Arriving late for an open-call audition, an actress, Vanda (Emmanuelle Seigner), tries to convince a first-time director and playwright, Thomas (Mathieu Amalric), that she’s perfect for the lead role in his production, a staged version of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch’s 1870 novel, “Venus in Furs” (the author’s name is where the term “masochism” originates, so that should give you a taste of the novel’s themes). Coarse, shallow, and a bit ditzy, Vanda doesn’t seem to fit the elegant vision Thomas has in mind, but when he reluctantly agrees to let her read anyway, she gradually reveals herself to have a significantly better understanding of the material than he does.

As the pair read off the scripted pages, slipping in and out of character, the lines between performance and reality begin to blur. The audition escalates into a competitive game of dominance between director and actress, creating a provocative exploration in gender roles and power dynamics. Director Roman Polanski deftly adapts David Ives’ 2010 Tony-nominated play, but the film belongs to Seigner.

Polanski’s real-life wife, the actress gives a magnetically ferocious performance, appropriately alternating between sexy and terrifying. Amalric plays Thomas as a deadringer for a young Polanski, adding more layers of meta commentary to sift through.

Aside from the confounding artistic decision to use italicized subtitles to distinguish when the characters are reading lines from the play, which has the effect of making their interplay significantly less ambiguous, Polanski brings a light touch to the material as he examines sex, power, art, and the place where the three intersect.

Super - Clean Cape Cod! Many updates!!! 1st floor living, large eat-in kitchen and the LARGEST living room. For more info; www.rochestersells.com or 585-218-2802. Ryan Smith - Re/Max Realty Group

Take my advice – the first thing you should do when you go to look at 11 Highland Avenue is walk down the driveway and step into the backyard. You will be instantly transported to a magical place as you pass through the arch covered with greenery and into this lush landscape.

It’s your own secret garden and you may never come out!

Apropos to a home located just off Mt. Hope Avenue near the Highland Park Neighborhood, with its rich horticultural history and lush gardens, this home welcomes you with beautiful daisies in the front as well as the garden in the back.

With a lovely front porch and a convenient location, this house could be your perfect home. No matter which direction you go, you’ll find some of the best city living has to offer, all within an easy walk or bike: Mt. Hope Cemetery to the west, Highland Park to the east, the up-and-coming College Town to the south, and the South Wedge just a bit farther to the north.

The house is built in 1920 and once you walk inside, you’ll be struck by the original beautiful doors, natural woodwork and hardwood floors throughout. With a square footage of around 1400, it seems a little unusual to have the benefit of a small foyer but there it is. Bright, nice-sized rooms fill the main floor with the kitchen open to the adaptable floor plan which

could include a music room or a formal dining room along with a breakfast room and light-filled living room. There’s plenty of room for storage in both the basement and the finished third floor, which can be used as a third bedroom. But the big surprise is on the second floor.

With a hidden staircase up to the second floor, any noise from the first floor is muffled (a plus if there are children sleeping when company is over). Two bedrooms are situated upstairs and, again, the wooden doors are all beautiful.

One room has two adjacent doors to small closets, one with a wonderful built in chest of drawers. And the back bedroom has a porch overlooking that beautiful garden. But the showpiece of the house is the bathroom. It is a modern rehab that includes a shower and a large Jacuzzi tub, a vanity in addition to the sink, and a washer and dryer tucked into the back of the room.

Listed by Terrance Clar of Magellan, Inc., the asking price was recently reduced to just $109,500. Terry can be reached at (585) 325-3390 x133. Tell him to meet you in the garden. But heed my warning—you may not want to come out.

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.
