Can no longer support WXXI

WXXI was my first charitable donation, around 1973. I was proud to be a part of the family of donors. I continued with my contributions through the years, increasing my amount as I could afford it. I gave both in spring and fall.

I no longer listen during the drives; it’s too much. The interruptions are so frequent and of such duration that my resignation has turned to anger. I understand that the on-air drives are the biggest source for donations.

The check I would normally write in the fall remains in my checkbook. It is not due to my frustration with the method, but because of the end result. You see, the goal set for the fall drive does not cover the top executive’s pay. They would need another $100,000 to come close to the CEO’s compensation. Every three years, $1 million is spent on one person to run the show at WXXI. This has been the norm for years now.

I do not see how our small market here justifies such an amount. I cannot in good conscience continue to contribute to making a few people at the top rich.

I truly love the services provided by WXXI and it is with a very heavy heart that I write this. I will never understand the board’s thinking on this matter, but I know what I think about it.

The ‘Best’ we can do?

Dear Rochester, We need to talk. You are really down on yourself, and I don’t know why. This is the only possible reason why you would, again, choose Wegmans as City Newspaper’s “Best Place to Take an Out-of-Towner” (special sections, October 28).

Your collective selfesteem is lower than it ever should be because Wegmans is a supermarket, and there is no reason to think that any out-of-towner would think that this is the best that Rochester has to offer.

I know you know that both Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass, two of the most pivotal civil rights activists in US history, are buried here, and you can visit their graves. There is no way anyone would think that is less cool than a place to get groceries and menial goods.

On First Friday, the Hungerford is a ShangriLa of artists of all types.

The creativity is so diverse that walking through the different exhibitions is like walking through different dimensions of reality. But you think that the bulk bin is what will mesmerize people.

You have some of the most fun festivals I have ever seen. I always regret having to travel in the summer, because I’ll miss at least two.

For example, Jazz Festival and Fringe Festival are weeks concentrated with pure bliss.

Even though there are paid/ticketed events, I don’t think I’ve seen festivals with so many free events that are so extravagant; I sometimes wonder if I missed the ticketing booth when I am watching and dancing to some of the best local and international artists in the middle of Gibbs Street or on East & Alexander or in MLK Park. There is no way that people who think highly of their hometown would think that the

NOVEMBER 4-10, 2015

festivals are less impressive than fresh produce.

You have a Museum of Play here, and it has a giant butterfly-shaped room that is full of BUTTERFLIES. If any bugs got into Wegmans, they would exterminate them, and they would definitely not let you play with the merchandise.

So how is Wegmans a better place to take an expat than a museum where touching is encouraged?

I have gotten to know a lot of your citizens. I do not think I’ve met such welcoming, caring, community-driven people in my life, and I have lived all over the world. My friends here are always doing five things at once, and all of their goals are aimed at making you even better, Roc. Whether they’re running their own restaurants or are involved in the Willow Center or the Gay Alliance or B.L.A.C.K., or if they just like to pay it forward in their own way, you have a population that cares about its fellow people a lot more than about where to get sushi and bread in the same place.

High Falls at dawn is dazzling. The old subway system is an adventure.

Cobbs Hill at dusk on that Parthenon-looking thing at the top of the hill is probably one of the most relaxing things you can do with your Sunday. I can give you a myriad of landmarks and events where you can take an out-of-towner that are better than a grocery store, so stop short-selling yourself.

Take it from an out-oftowner, Roc: You are better than a supermarket. Don’t take an out-of-towner there and think it’s the best you have to offer. That is what small-towners in B-movies do right before disaster happens.

You are much bigger and better than you think, Roc, so start thinking it.

A BALTIMOREAN EXPAT

A vote against one-party rule

I almost choked on my morning bran flakes as I was reading one of your reader’s laments regarding the “stranglehold” that the Republicans have on the office of county executive (Feedback, October 28).

No one party has more of a stranglehold on City of Rochester politics than the Democrats for the past 40 years. Republicans don’t even bother to present a token candidate, let alone a serious contender.

The County Legislature is lately a close call and if Democrats can present colorful, charismatic politicians, well, who knows?

They may very well have a chance at a majority. But let’s get serious: Republicans have zero chance of having one of their own elected in a city election in the foreseeable future. Anyone with a scintilla of political acumen knows the reason for this, political correctness be damned!

Since there is no other point of view presented and all of the policymaking offices are held by same party people with the same mindset, how can there possibly be new, alternative, or progressive ideas or suggestions debated or enacted? Party dogma trumps (no pun intended) innovation.

Years ago, “Lonesome” Charlie Schiano was the only Republican on the City Council and he had a voice in the decisionmaking process, at least.

One party rule, Democrat or Republican, stifles creativity, innovation, and initiative — all of which is lacking in the City of Rochester.

BOB TACITO

After finding out that his contract wouldn’t be renewed, Superintendent Bolgen Vargas announced that he has decided to leave the Rochester school district. Our readers reacted:

The hyper dysfunctional and meddling school board torpedoes progress and continuity once again. The board is in the pocket of the Association of Supervisors and Administrators that drains resources from the front lines of educating kids.

As a city resident, I am disgusted with this revolving door that betrays city residents and their kids.

The schools need a CEO who can function with the independence to carry out the job.

MARK B.

As far as Vargas not being a motivator, remember that he had many years of experience with the Rochester school district as a prior board member and he is well-aware of the dysfunction that exists in the district. Any unsuspecting, super-charged newcomer, like Jean-Claude Brizard, can come in all hyped up until reality sets in. And then it all hits the fan.

Vargas was a good choice at the time, with his counseling background, to try to juggle all the opposing forces in the district and to be a leader to boot.

If Vargas is not up to this almost impossible task, then keep him until you scrutinize a new superintendent and find one who is better. But please, no more of the merry-go-round of rotating superintendents; we already went on that disastrous route.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

The media, the candidates, and the future of politics Maybe I’m over-reacting. Maybe everything will work out just fine. But what is happening in national politics right now seems frightening, and more than a little dangerous.

Everybody’s been focusing on the polls, and the news that Donald Trump and Ben Carson are leading presumably more rational, electable candidates. But that’s only a small part of the problem. Seems to me, there are bigger concerns: 1) Politics has turned into a blood sport, for the politicians, for the media, for the public.

Last week’s Republican debate on CNBC was just the latest example. The debate was principally a shouting match – “Chaotic,” one Washington Post headline put it – with CNBC announcers joining in and the audience booing and cheering.

This is entertainment, not a contribution to knowledge, not something to help Americans perform one of their most important citizenship duties.

And many in the media are aiding and abetting. The day after the debate, news websites focused heavily on the fights and the competition, minimally on what little substance the debate contained. “Breakout Performances,” “Breakout Moments,” “5 Big Confrontations,” “Jeb Bush Needed a Touchdown,” “Rubio Won,” “Carson and Trump Lack Electricity,” “The 15 Most Explosive Moments,” “Bush Bombed,” “Jeb Died on That Stage,” “Crowd Roars as Cruz Attacks the Media”: those were the headlines.

Politico’s Roger Simon related Ted Cruz’s attack on the CNBC moderators and then noted: “The audience members went nuts. This was gutsy stuff. This was fun.”

2) The candidates are lying with abandon,

in the debates and on the campaign trail.

A Washington Post Fact Checker article in the Washington Post detailed some of the falsehoods: Carly Fiorina insisting that “92 percent of the jobs lost during Barack Obama’s first term belonged to women” and that Bernie Sanders wants to raise taxes to as high as 90 percent. Donald Trump insisting he has never said something that is plainly visible on his website. Ben Carson saying he has not been involved with Mannatech, a nutritional supplements company for whom he has given speeches and testimonials.

And there was Chris Christie saying Social Security will be broke in seven or eight years. Marco Rubio saying that “for the first time in 35 years, we have more businesses closing than starting.” Rick Santorum saying the US has lost 2 million

What will this presidential campaign teach our children? What do we want them to learn from it?”

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE

BEST WINNERS

& NOMINEES!

manufacturing jobs during the Obama administration. Complete misstatements that have been refuted before –but the candidates repeat them and roll right on.

3) All of this has a real effect. The candidates’ smug confidence as they stick to their lies, the jockeying and upstaging of each other to try to dominate the debate, the jeers and cheers from the crowds, the media score-keeping: This influences polls, which influence how voters feel about a candidate’s viability. And it influences big-money donations, which are already chipping away at the foundations of democracy.

The presidential election seems a long way away right now, but the first stage is well under way. And in February, things get more serious, with the Iowa and Nevada caucuses and the New Hampshire primary.

Presidential election campaigns should be an opportunity for serious public discussions. And they could be a terrific history-as-it-unfolds civics lessons, particularly for children. But what will this campaign teach our children? What do we want them to learn from it?

In the 14th and 15th centuries, the Inquisition created a particularly terrifying civics lesson, with crowds gathering and cheering as people were paraded through the streets and were burned at the stake. Is it too big a reach to draw a comparison between those public spectacles and now? We’re burning democracy at the stake, aren’t we?

Coming up: another Republican debate, on November 10, hosted by Fox Business and the Wall Street Journal.

On Tuesday October 27th, our 2015 Best of Rochester winners were revealed in front of a packed party of nominees and guests who enjoyed music, food, and drinks while celebrating the people and businesses that make Rochester such a special place.

Costco sues CityGate developer

Costco is suing the developer of CityGate, Anthony J. Costello and Son, over a liquor store under construction in the same plaza, according to media reports. Costco says that the liquor store violates the terms of Costco’s lease, and is asking a federal court to void the liquor store’s lease and to issue an order barring the store from operating.

CityGate is located at Westfall and East Henrietta roads on the city/ Brighton border.

Budget deal done Congress passed a bipartisan budget bill that keeps the federal government running for two years. In the House, Democrat Louise Slaughter as well as Republicans Chris Collins and Tom Reed voted for the package. On the Senate side, Democrats Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand voted in favor.

MEDICINE | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

Coming soon: HIV shots?

One of the more daunting challenges of managing HIV is properly taking the daily regimen of one to five pills. But that could soon be in the past. The results of an experimental treatment, which appear in the journal Nanomedicine: Nanotechnology, Biology, and Medicine, could mean that patients get an infrequent injection to stop the progression of the disease instead.

Landmark Society names five

The Landmark Society has named its annual “Five to Revive.” The sites are: the former Wollensak Optical Company on Hudson Avenue; the East Main/North Clinton retail district; the Lockwood-Alhart cobblestone house and retail plaza on Culver Road; three fraternal meeting halls in Rochester/Genesee Valley/Western New York; and the Cattaragus County Memorial and Historical Building. The society picks five sites every year in the hope of triggering preservation and investment in the buildings and surrounding areas.

NOVEMBER 4-10, 2015

The UR’s Dr. Harris Gelbard says that a potential new HIV drug and delivery system could make managing the disease easier.

PHOTO PROVIDED

Researchers at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, led

by Dr. Howard Gendelman, have developed what is referred to as a “nanoformulated” protease inhibitor.

The process takes the drug, crystalizes it, and then gives it a fat and protein coating that resembles an ice-cream bar. This protects the drug from degrading in the body.

When combined with URMC-099, a new drug discovered by researchers at the University of Rochester, the “chemical marriage” appears to increase the longevity of the treatment. Though not a cure, the new treatment also promises to reduce toxicity problems sometimes associated with some HIV drugs because the new drug is taken less often, about once or twice a year.

“If you think about this in common sense terms, every time you take a medicine or any form of drug, you have to worry about the balance between therapeutic effects and side effects because all medicine has side effects,” says Dr. Harris Gelbard, who led the UR team that developed URMC-099.

The drug would be delivered through injection and would greatly improve compliance, he says.

“It kind of makes you worry less about, ‘Did I miss a dose today?’ Gelbard says. “When you miss a dose or don’t take [an HIV] medicine properly, it leads to resistance. Here’s a virus that has capitalized on human behavior.”

Home values up in Highland, Swillburg Rising property values can be a sign of a healthy neighborhood. Unfortunately, they can also mean a higher tax bill.

Preliminary data from Rochester’s ongoing citywide reassessment shows that property values are rising in some neighborhoods, including Highland, Swillburg, Browncroft, Upper Mount Hope, Neighborhood of the Arts, and Beechwood.

“You can almost tell: Where [are] the restaurants? Where are the people flocking?

Where do you see them walking and the homes in good repair?” says city assessor Thomas Huonker.

Swillburg, a 20-block community in southeast Rochester known for its narrow streets and compact lots, may see one of the highest overall increases in residential property values, he says, at about 16 percent from the last citywide assessment four years ago.

“I think Swillburg is affordable and popular and close to a whole lot of stuff,” Huonker says. “And it’s been a nice, active neighborhood group.”

Josh Massicot, a Swillburg homeowner who spearheaded the revitalization of the neighborhood association, says that Swillburg is a victim of its own success.

It has taken decades to build the neighborhood back up, he says, following an unsuccessful proposal to run the Genesee Expressway through Swillburg 40 years ago. People fled, property values plummeted, and the neighborhood declined, he says.

The auction of Irondequoit’s Medley Centre, scheduled for later this month, has been called off.

The dead mall’s owner, Bersin Properties, owed Monroe County $1.2 million in property taxes from 2013, and the county was set to sell off the property at a November 10 tax-foreclosure auction. But Nomura Capital and Credit, the company that once loaned Bersin money to redevelop the mall, paid the debt on Friday.

Bersin, which is led by developer Scott Congel, is suing Nomura over claims that the lender inappropriately withdrew promised financing for the project, and earlier this year, Nomura filed to foreclose on the Medley property. The bank advanced Bersin $44 million and holds a mortgage lien on the property, but it probably would have lost out on some or all of the money it’s owed if the county auctioned the property.

By paying the tax debt, Nomura is essentially protecting its stake in the Medley site.

Bersin is also involved in dueling lawsuits with the Monroe County Industrial Development Agency, Monroe County, Irondequoit, and the East Irondequoit school district over a tax-incentive agreement.

The governments say that Bersin violated the terms of the agreement and they want him to pay the back taxes. Bersin’s countersuit says that the agreement — which Congel signed — is unenforceable. The cases are pending.

UR astrophysicist Adam Frank: climate change was an “oops,” but now we’ve got to do something about it. PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLIN ENVIRONMENT | BY JEREMY MOULE

Adam Frank and the project of civilization Climate change is fundamentally a matter of science. Decades of sophisticated research confirm that climate change is happening, that carbon emissions from human activity are the cause, and that cuts to global carbon emissions are necessary to limit future climate-related disruptions and disasters.

But the science is often disconnected from public opinion. Facts are distorted or cherry-picked, and people on both sides of the discussion feel like they’re under personal attack.

The unproductive national conversation on climate change starts with how the issue is discussed by average people, the media, and governments. Adam Frank, an astrophysics professor at the University of Rochester and co-founder of NPR’s 13.7: Cosmos and Culture blog, discusses the dynamic in some of his recent posts.

“Our inability to even get past ‘yes, it’s happening’ stems from the stories we’ve been telling about how climate change happened as well as what [it] means about us and for us in terms of the human future,” Frank wrote in a post titled Climate Change is not Our Fault.

6 CITY

NOVEMBER 4-10, 2015

Some environmentalists tend to frame climate change as an issue of corporate greed or by implying that human progress and business are the problem. Some conservatives are turned off by that rhetoric, Frank says.

And for their part, many Republicans and conservatives embrace climate deniers and try to thwart domestic climate-friendly policies.

The unproductive national discussion often ignores the simple fact that climate change is not negotiable, Frank says, and that assigning blame doesn’t lead to solutions.

“We’re going to need everybody to figure out how to make this transition of infrastructures, how to do it in a sensible economic way, and how to do it pretty damn fast,” he says.

One way to get more people and politicians on board is to change how we frame and discuss climate change, he says.

The following is an edited version of a conversation that City had with Frank on this issue.

CITY: How do we discuss climate change to convince more people of the need for action?

So the thing is, what we’re not worried about is the future of the planet; we’re worried about the project of civilization on the planet.

And it’s clear that the project of civilization can only work on a certain kind of planet.

In general, we need to maintain the conditions on the planet that are amenable to nine billion people trying to eat food.

You raise the idea that climate change isn’t anyone’s fault, but it will be our collective fault if we fail to address it. Would you explain that thought?

Frank: First of all, you look at young people.

What I see from them, especially the kids who are interested in science, there’s enormous enthusiasm for problem solving. And this is essentially a problem.

For me, setting this problem into the evolution of the human species, that’s the way we should be looking at it. Not just “the Republicans say this and the Democrats say that.” This is a much deeper, broader, and actually more powerful problem, which is that we are a species that is coming to maturity on the planet.

We’ve become so powerful as a species that we’ve changed the entire chemistry of the atmosphere. On one level, that’s pretty badass, right? And now we’ve just got to figure out how to continue the project of civilization in a way that works with the laws of physics and chemistry of planets, rather than against them.

So it’s a matter of framing: humans have made awesome progress, caused some problems they didn’t intend to, and can fix them because they’re that amazing?

Exactly. People get into this thing, “Oh, we’re destroying the planet!” That is bullshit. The planet is going to be fine. There have been times when the earth has been a giant snowball — like, literally, the entire planet has been glaciated — and there have been times that the entire planet has been a sultry jungle. At some point they found evidence for alligators in the North Pole.

Fossil fuels are awesome. They can do amazing things and we did amazing things with them.

And of course there was greed involved with the companies. With business, there’s always greed. But we didn’t adopt the fossil fuel infrastructure because somebody forced us to.

People like having their houses warm. It’s great that you can get in these vehicles and drive 300 miles in a day.

We’ve created a society that has really allowed more people, a larger percentage of people than ever before in history, to live healthy, productive, long lives. We need to understand — and that’s part of changing this debate — that climate change was an unintended consequence of building this kind of infrastructure.

We couldn’t have understood that climate change is coming in 1890 as we were building.

But now we do understand. We’ve matured as a species through our science. When a species gets to this point and starts feeding back on its planet, it either is able to see what it’s doing and make the right choices and then evolve on to the next set of challenges and become sustainable for another 10,000 years, or it dies.

The earth has had many species on it, right?

It would be our failure as a species to see what’s going on but not have the organizational capacity to act on it. I hate to say it, we’d be cosmic losers. We’d become one of those species that couldn’t handle it.

If even Pope Francis can’t get people to come together on climate change, what do we do?

It is difficult to make a dent. Our country is kind of singular in how effective the denialists have been. There’s parts of the world where there already is a lot of action on it. I think the pope did make a dent. I think the debate is slowly swinging. If you look at the polls, there’s more and more recognition of it. It’s also inevitable because the climate is changing.

Bill Nye was on University of Rochester campus about a month ago. There were like 2,000 students there. And they were wild.

It was an army of science and engineering students who were just mad for this guy. And he talked all about climate change, all about changes to the world, and these kids were pumped up and ready to go.

We have to understand that there is hope.

We can definitely deal with this. And not only that, but by dealing with it, it will transform us. It’ll transform us into the next thing that humanity’s going to become, which is a true planetary species.

Expectations to meet [ CHOW HOUND ] BY KATIE LIBBY

Having grown up in Webster, I felt a pang of sadness and nostalgia when I heard the news in 2014 that Hank’s Ice Cream and Grill had closed — some places you just expect to always be there. Needless to say, when Pub 235 opened its doors in the old Hank’s location at 235 North Avenue on October 1, people involved knew they had some pretty big shoes to fill in the minds of locals who had grown up with the former Webster institution.

I’ll get this out of the way right off the bat, Hank’s famous roast beef sandwich ($8) is still on the menu. Co-executive Chefs Kurt DeJac and Nathaniel Wilkins roast the beef daily and use the original recipe. “We’ll sell well over 50 to 60 roast beef sandwiches during lunch,” Wilkins says. In addition to the roast beef, corned beef and turkey are roasted daily as well, and are used in Pub 235’s corned beef sandwich ($9) and roasted turkey ($8), the latter served with lettuce, tomato, and a spicy mayo.

Both DeJac and Wilkins are culinary graduates with 50 years of experience between them. DeJac worked at the Flaherty’s Webster location for 18 years,

while Wilkins served as sous chef and catering manager at St. John Fisher prior to coming to Pub 235. The pub is owned by the Horeth family, who also own Kittelberger Florist, and is managed by Bill Horeth.

Pub 235’s menu is a mixture of standard pub fare and more refined entrees like the French-cut pork chop ($24), seasoned and pan-seared with a marsala demi glaze, or the Maryland crab cakes ($15), made with fresh blue crab, pan-seared and served with a lemon-infused remoulade. All sauces and soups are made on premise daily.

The pub is open for lunch and dinner and features a full bar with a 12-tap beer line — a few selections will rotate seasonally. Look for a cocktail menu in the coming months. Daily specials are available for lunch and dinner.

Pub 235 is located at 235 North Avenue in Webster, and is open Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 12 a.m.; and closed on Sundays. 2161750. For more information visit pub235.com.

At the Seneca Art & Culture Center, people tell their own stories [ CULTURE ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

A

dream 30 years in the making has finally been realized with the opening of the Seneca Art & Culture Center at Ganondagan State Historic Site. The center officially opened on October 24, and will provide a year-round venue for exhibits and programming about Seneca history and contemporary culture. And crucially, the enduring story of the Seneca’s lives and values will be told by the subjects themselves.

This is really the first time that history and culture are being shared on this scale “where the Seneca people are able to tell their own story,” say Site Manager G. Peter Jemison.

“Everybody is really of one mind in really wanting to bring about a place that can show not only the historical aspect of the Seneca people but that the Seneca people are a living, breathing culture,” says Meg Joseph, who heads up Ganondagan’s not-for-profit partner group, Friends of Ganondagan. “So contemporary Seneca issues are at the forefront of what people are going to see when they come to the Seneca Art & Culture Center.”

The new center is sleek and contemporary, but mirrors the site’s raw longhouse, which is just up the hill, in its long, narrow form. The new building holds offices, classrooms, archives, a gallery, a state-of-the-art auditorium with a spring-board dance floor, dressing rooms, a catering kitchen, and a gift shop. The center will allow for year-round programming; in the past, Ganondagan has only been able to offer programming May through October, because the longhouse and trails were a strictly outdoor site.

The building will serve as a resource center where visitors from near and far can more fully engage with the history of the Seneca, which is the history of this region. Through exhibits on historic and contemporary culture, lectures, classes, and performances, the stories told within will serve to spark our understanding of what was, and increase our awareness of what Seneca culture is today.

Fifteen artifact-rich, interactive exhibits fill the SACC’s gallery, “each of them telling an important story we feel people should know about Ganondagan,” says Michael Galban, Ganondagan historian and interpretive programs assistant.

Galban curated the ethnographic and archaeological exhibits at the SACC, and will be managing Ganondagan’s collections in the archival space. The building will both store and share Seneca knowledge, available for Seneca and non-Seneca researchers to study.

“We’re certainly not your typical museum,” Galban says. “We have a cultural center, which has a museum component, but our philosophy is that we have a continuity of representation.”

The center will share archaeological finds that explore the Seneca of 300 years ago, the ethnography of more recent times, and also contemporary Seneca stories. “Without that continuity, people aren’t really getting the entire story,” he says.

Through objects, dioramas, artwork, and video segments, visitors learn about life at Ganondagan while it was inhabited by the Seneca, and about interactions with Europeans from the perspective of the natives. Spoons and combs carved with human figures show how the Seneca perceived themselves, while illustrations reveal how the Europeans saw the Seneca.

Historically, the Seneca were the largest and westernmost group out of six nations of Native Americans that made up the Iroquois Confederacy (also called the Haudenosaunee), a democratic government that pre-dates the United States Constitution.

The village and cornfields at the Seneca village of Ganondagan were razed in 1687 by French colonists determined to take over the lucrative fur trade, and the Seneca were forced to flee. On display in the exhibition space is the actual document that King Louis XIV sent from Versailles to give Marquis de Denonville powers over the colony’s military, lands, and economy.

“It also directed him to subjugate the Iroquois,” Galban says. Knowing the destruction that followed lends an undeniable gravity to the fragile parchment.

An extremely detailed model of a longhouse at one-fifth scale is filled with

items of material culture to help audiences envision the compact efficiency of daily life.

A model of the region from above shows what the longhouse village, cornfields, trails, and hunting grounds might have looked like. Maps tell the story of Iroquois expanding and defending their territory in relation to other nations of people living in the wider region. A case focusing on trade holds examples of the kinds of items, including beaver skins, blankets, and beadwork, that were exchanged.

“Some of the artifacts that were collected over the past 100 years or so at Seneca sites were in fact once part of funerary context,” Galban says. SACC organizers made a commitment early on in their exhibit development that they would not display objects that came from a funerary context.

“That’s very limiting,” Galban says, “because objects carefully placed in those interments tended to last much better than objects discarded on the top of the ground.”

Galban had to explore other ways of presenting these objects, and enlisted Denis Cormier of RIT’s College of Engineering for help with 3D scanning and printing. For example, some moose antler combs were reproduced and given a believable patina. “They have the appearance of the originals,” Galban says. “So we have a visual record without infringing on the sensitive nature of objects that came from a grave.”

As an historical resource center, the SACC will offer the Seneca a sense of pride and comfort, Galban says.

“On one level, Seneca people themselves are our most important audience. We have a responsibility as caretakers of culture to

the Seneca people. But through the center, Ganondagan will be even more of an asset to the community, and an even better bridge between the Seneca people and the rest of the world.”

Living, breathing legacy

One of the first impressions visitors will have upon entering the center is from a multisensory, engaging exhibit focused on the Thanksgiving Address, which initiates all Haudenosaunee meetings, gatherings, and in some communities, is recited every morning.

“It acknowledges all aspects of what we consider Creation,” Galban says. “So the visitor is immediately struck with this exhibit that has objects which reflect the different elements of creation, an actual Seneca language recitation with English subtitle, and a video piece that was produced by a Seneca filmmaker.”

Just a bit before the center’s opening, the space hosted an international symposium of material culture experts. Galban is working on organizing a future exhibit that would present “an exceptional collection of 18th century woodland objects” collected by a prominent eastern European leader, he says.

Juke Joint, 830 Jefferson Rd. 292-5544. stickylipsbbq. com. 6:30 p.m.

For those who like it loud, fast, and gritty this stuff never gets old. “Spaghetti Queen” is album number four for Rochester rockers Intrinsic. It’s a little bit o’ grunge a little bit o’ punk, along with some Supersucker-style rock ‘n’ roll defiance. “Spaghetti Queen” is an all-around good ‘un.

This 13 track rock ‘n’ roll show stars the guitar and the bass, which is slung like its six-string brother as it apes the guitar lines for added thrust and saturation.

It’s both sweet and brutal, like Jell-O with rocks in it.

Vocally, the songs are held at a discernable — sometimes harmonized — yell, but could stand to be a little hotter in the mix. Everyone digs guitar, but it’s also about having the words spit in your face, too. Rhythmically the drums are a full-on four on the floor thunderstorm. The overall speed is intrinsically steady and sturdy. It won’t break your neck, but it very well may put you in something orthopedic. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Anonymous Willpower “One More Medicine Show” Self-released anonymouswillpower.net

Anonymous Willpower knows how to put on a show. And that’s just what the band did in the studio recording this, its shiny new disc, “One More Medicine Show.” The band brought the horny heat and simply pressed “record.” That’s not to take away from Don Anonymous’ expert production and knob-twiddling.

The song writing is vast and varied, showcasing the band’s appreciation of any and all music that has any amount of shake appeal and soul.

Scintillating singer Suzie Willpower positively oozes sex appeal and swerve. She satisfies, but you still want more. “One More Medicine Show” is predominantly an R&B affair with forays into Bowie-esque burlesques like “No Room”; Sunday salvation (Reverend Cleophus style) on “Multiply”; and Saturday night heartbreak with “Bring It Home,” penned by the late soul-sender and friend Sam LaCara of the Earl Cram Revue. Heaven? Hip-shake? Soul? What more could you want out of a record? Seriously. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

The Sun Ra Arkestra, led by saxophonist Marshall Allen, carries on the legacy of the great pianist and bandleader. PHOTO PROVIDED

Here comes the Sun Ra Arkestra The Sun Ra Arkestra THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5 LOVIN’ CUP, 300 PARK POINT DRIVE 8:30 P.M. | $30-$35 | BOPSHOP.COM SUNRAARKESTRA.COM [ FEATURE ] BY RON NETSKY

Back in the early 1970’s, the school I attended, Philadelphia College of Art, was in the throes of hippie days. But there was a tradition to honor, a Spring Formal at the august Philadelphia Museum of Art. A dance has to have a band, so PCA made the obvious choice: Philly’s premier avantgarde ensemble, the Sun Ra Arkestra.

That was my first encounter with the Arkestra’s unlikely combination of big band tradition and free-jazz frenzy. I remember pianist and bandleader Sun Ra as a small man in a colorful costume at once evoking ancient Egypt and a brother from another planet. I’d heard that he was a fascinating figure who drew top musicians to his unorthodox band.

“He was a philosopher,” says saxophonist Marshall Allen. “He knew 14 CITY NOVEMBER 4-10, 2015

people; he could read you. He had a vision of the future and he wanted to raise the planet up to the space age.

He was a poet and a real scholar. He knew the Bible and the Koran and he knew about history. He was a teacher; a genius really.”

Sun Ra died in 1993, but the band plays on under the leadership of Allen, a long-time Arkestra member. Allen and the Sun Ra Arkestra will be making a rare Rochester appearance at Lovin’ Cup, Thursday evening.

The Bop Shop’s Tom Kohn scored a major coup when he heard that the band was heading to Cleveland for a special event. He called and asked if the Arkestra would consider swinging by Rochester for an extra gig. The answer was yes.

“With Marshall Allen now 92, I thought it was the only opportunity we would have to see this iconic ensemble,” Kohn says.

It’s good timing. The Arkestra has just released “Babylon Live,” a landmark album in honor of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Sun Ra. Recorded last year at a club in Istanbul, the CD (and a

OUR BUSINESS...

OUR deluxe edition with a DVD) captures the full range of the band’s music.

“We play charts from the great musicians and the great bands like Duke Ellington and Count Basie. We give you a history of music,” says Allen, who joined Sun Ra in 1958. “And we play avantgarde. We give young people a taste of yesteryear right up until today.”

To fully appreciate the Arkestra, you

might need a bit of history.

Born Herman Poole Blount in 1914, Sun Ra was a student of ancient Egyptian, African, and Greek texts, the works of Madame Helena P. Blavatsky (a leading proponent of a mystical mixture of theology and philosophy called theosophy), the Kabbalah (mysticismbased Jewish teachings), and more down-to-earth subjects like the history of African-Americans and the ideas of Booker T. Washington.

The name Sun Ra is derived from the name of the Egyptian god of the sun.

Sun Ra studied the past but he always had an eye on the future, especially space exploration. He called his philosophy Afrofuturism. And in keeping with that philosophy, the collective organism that is the Arkestra has always had one foot in the past and the other on the cutting edge.

Sun Ra insisted that he came from Saturn, and with the recent discovery of liquid water on Mars, he may have been on to something. His band dressed accordingly, bringing together alien fashion with ancient Egyptian chic.

The group I saw several times back in Philly was unusual in another respect: the musicians lived together communally in a house in the city’s Germantown neighborhood.

“Most of that band died in the 1990’s,” Allen says. “I had to build a new band. We now have 27 people — violins, cello, harp, French horns, dancers … The road band is 12 or 14 musicians.”

The earlier group was not embraced in the United States, so the Arkestra has toured more in Europe and beyond since 1969.

“They accepted us and liked our music there,” Allen says. “America was a little slow. In America they wouldn’t accept anything new for a couple of generations, until the young people caught on. The next generation was hip to electronic things and space. Sun Ra was talking about going to the moon and everywhere else before they put up the Sputnik.”

In fact, the group is now greatly respected around the world.

“We were in Egypt five times,” Allen says. “We played in Cairo at the pyramids right after the war with Israel. We were in the Sinai desert. They were sitting out there in that desert alone. They were glad to hear some music.”

In recent years, Allen has broadened his horizons, playing with Phish and other genre-bending groups. He regards music as a healing force.

“I changed my drinking habits; I’m trying to use the music for my wellbeing,” Allen says. “It can make me a better person, energized and interested in life. They say music can make you cry and music can make you happy, so I say let me play this music not for money, not for girls, let me play this music for my well-being.”

It’s one thing to hear the Arkestra on records (the group has recorded almost 200 albums), it’s quite another to see the band live. Kohn has seen the group many times, and still vividly recalls the first, a joint appearance with the Art Ensemble of Chicago.

“The Art Ensemble was amazing and there was a fairly long break before; all of a sudden, all this commotion was happening at the back of the theatre,” says Kohn. “It was the Arkestra in full regalia playing their instruments, marching and dancing through the audience. It was like an avant-garde circus.”

Kohn believes the group is among the most innovative in jazz history.

“The Arkestra is able to take what we know and turn it into something new,” Kohn says. “They swing like a big band even when it sounds like cacophony, but if you listen closely there is always something that sounds grounded. They take you to outer space and bring you back to Earth.”

ALT-BLUEGRASS | VINE BROTHERS

Fayetteville, Arkansas’ Vine Brothers use bluegrass as a root to loftier things. The instrumentation — mandolin, guitar, upright bass — is certainly a rootsy strain of wood and wire along with an old tyme approach to the music.

But there is also the pervading lilt of Gypsy jazz along with soulful lyrics that skirt the twilight between happy and sad, light and dark. It’s bluesy, too, offering a way to draw the listener in with its familiarity and crowning then with its uniquely unmatched and unparalleled twists and twirls.

The Vine Brothers performs Wednesday, November 4, at the Record Archive, 33 1/3 Rockwood Street, 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Free. recordarchive.com. And Thursday, November 5, at Sticky Lips Juke Joint, 830 Jefferson Road. 7 p.m. Free. stickylipsbbq.com; thevinebrothers.com.

Strange chemistry “Hydrogen Jukebox” PRESENTED BY EASTMAN OPERA THEATRE THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5, THROUGH SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 8 KILBOURN HALL AT EASTMAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC, 26 GIBBS STREET 7:30 P.M. ON THURSDAY, FRIDAY, AND SATURDAY; 2 P.M. ON SUNDAY $15-$20 | 484-2100; EASTMANTHEATRE.ORG [ PREVIEW ] BY DANIEL J. KUSHNER

In 1966, Allen Ginsberg penned ecstatic yet defiant words in his poem “Wichita Vortex Sutra”: “I claim my birthright! Joy — reborn after the vast sadness of War Gods! A lone man talking to myself, no house in the brown vastness to hear, imagining the throng of Selves that make this nation one body of Prophecy languaged by Declaration as Pursuit of Happiness!”

The Beat poet and counterculture icon was staking claim to something elemental. And though the words are somewhat stilted, they still endure, in part through the 1990 opera “Hydrogen Jukebox,” written by Minimalist composer Philip Glass.

18 CITY NOVEMBER 4-10, 2015

The opera emerged out of a one-off collaboration between Ginsberg and Glass for a Vietnam Veterans Ensemble Theatre Company benefit, in which “Wichita Vortex Sutra” was set to Glass’s hypnotic solo piano music. The work eventually became the poignant end to Part 1 of the opera. Ultimately, a complete libretto was crafted from selections of Ginsberg’s poetry — most notably the masterpiece “Howl” — and the resulting collection of songs were shaped by director-choreographer Ann Carlson into a story following six American archetypes: a priest, waitress, businessman, cheerleader, policewoman, and mechanic, respectively.

Twenty-five years after the opera’s premiere at the Spoleto Festival, Eastman Opera Theatre — led by Stage Director Steven Daigle — will stage a new, innovative conception of “Hydrogen Jukebox,” with performances running from Thursday, November 5, through Sunday, November 8, at Eastman School of Music’s Kilbourn Hall.

“Hydrogen Jukebox” had been on Daigle’s radar for a decade, but the director says he was waiting for the optimal

moment to present the unconventional, dramatically pliable opera.

The score contains no plot cues, and there are no detailed descriptions of scenes. The only indications given are for the required voice types: two sopranos, a mezzo-soprano, tenor, bassbaritone, and bass. With this “tabula rasa” in place, Daigle began to conceive of an original drama in which the six characters are members of an unusual kind of church devoted to the worship of the modern American capitalist war machine, identified by Ginsberg in the libretto as Moloch.

“Moloch, yes, it is a god,” Daigle explains, “but it’s symbolizing something much greater than that. It is identifying a lot of different things that, in god’s name — being different gods — there has been war, there has been death, there has been destruction. And of course, governments have been built on that in a lot of ways, so it allows us to kind of reflect and look at what our sort of world has become.”

Apocalyptic deities aside, the most

intriguing adjustment to the opera is Daigle’s expansion of character development from six archetypes to 18, in which each singer portrays three separate archetypes in a single character who changes over time. The singers themselves were intimately involved in the construction of their own characters, creating monologues that unified the three archetypes in one cohesive narrative, among other thought exercises.

“We had to actually come up with these backstories and consider how these different archetypes at different periods in American history, how they are related, and how one of them might become another one even if you wouldn’t expect them to be related at first glance,” says bass-baritone Isaac Assor, who plays the triune role of the church preacher-turnedBeat poet-turned-class nerd.

The twist is that the chronologies of these characters’ lives unfold in reverse, beginning at the church in the 1990’s before returning to 1960’s and early-70’s culture and ultimately settling on their former selves amid the Americana of the 1950’s.

“Much of the time in our opera actually does go back in time, and I envision that we are seeing how we got to this state, how we got to this world in which individuality is crushed and we’re all part of this bigger government machine,” Assor says.

In the process of working through the plot, the singer also noticed a

compelling paradox at work. “By exploring all of these different themes in the poetry, that we’re getting out of this state where individuality is so restricted, into a more enlightened state,” Assor continues. “And yet the way that the archetypes progress, we are actually going back in time. So I think that that will be a little bit open to interpretation, but you can see that the way that we find our way out of this dystopia in the beginning is actually through exploring the past.”

Musically, the singers faced other distinctive challenges particular to Philip Glass’s music. Soprano Celeste Pellegrino, who plays a businesswomanhippie-fashionable high schooler, found that the memorization of the score’s bulky Minimalism was daunting, but relied on Eastman’s extensive aural skills training to learn the music. Ultimately, Pellegrino found that the opera transcended her preconceptions about the composer’s style.

“I think each song definitely has its own feeling, which is something I was not anticipating with minimalist music,” the soprano says. “I mean, I’ve never really worked with Minimalist music before, so I kind of thought it would all sound the same, but it definitely doesn’t. Each song definitely has its own character.”

Assor is quick to note the difficulties of tackling Glass’s complex sense of rhythm, though he credits Spencer Reese’s choreography with helping to master this musical element. He also marvels at the strange chemistry between the music and Ginsberg’s words.

“It’s interesting to have that music set by Philip Glass because Philip Glass’s music is extremely rhythmic,” Assor says. “And it almost uses the voice as if it is another instrument, as if it’s another rhythmic instrument. You’re using the consonants as if they’re drums.

And so I think it’s an interesting pair, because here you have this music that is very repetitive and almost tranceinducing, using text that is so free and so unrestricted. And you wouldn’t think that they would be the most obvious pair for one another, and yet the product of the two together is really unlike anything I’ve ever heard before.”

The Fine Craft Show & Sale features work from more than 40 master craft artists who are all regular participants of crafting competitions and shows on the national level. The Show & Sale takes place Saturday, November 7, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, November 8, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $10 each each. Both days, there will be a special showing to honor the work of the students at Rochester Institute of Technology’s School for American Crafts.

An opening party will take place Friday, November 6, featuring an artist presentation by Lisa and Scott Cylinder who incorporate musical instruments into their pieces. Eastman School of music jazz students will perform, and there will be complimentary wine and hors d’oeuvres. The party is from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Memorial Art Gallery (500 University Avenue); tickets are $50 and include admission to the Show & Sale.

In its 6th year, Mayday! Underground craft show, an indie art fair, will showcase local artists who are known to be extraordinary and maybe even a little bizarre. The event focuses on non-traditional crafts and features more than 60 independent artists and small businesses all from the Rochester area. These artists are known to focus on modern, hip, and trendy work — all handmade. The first 25 participants at the door will receive a reusable “swag bag” that is screen printed with artwork by Casey Wright.

There will also be a tastings booth by Honeoye Falls Distillery.

Tickets are $9 general admission ($7 for students and seniors) and are available at The Little’s box [ PREVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW office. For more information visit the festival’s website at rochester.edu/SKALNY or call the This week marks the start of the 18th Rochester Skalny Center at 275-9898.

Polish Film Festival, sponsored by the Skalny Here’s a peek at a few of this year’s Center for Polish and Central European Studies selections, all of which are presented in Polish at the University of Rochester. The festival holds with English subtitles. its Grand Opening on Wednesday, November Filmmaker Jan Komasa (“Suicide Room”) 4, at 7:00 p.m., with a screening of the groundbreaking 1971 film “Illumination” at the Dryden melds the framework of an old-fashioned war drama with modern blockbuster sensibilities to somewhat mixed effect in “Warsaw 44.” The war epic follows a group of teens who volunteer to join the Warsaw Uprising, a 63-day World War II operation by the Polish Resistance Home Army meant to liberate Warsaw from Nazi Germany.

The young cast, led Józef Pawlowski and Zofia Wichlacz in “Warsaw 44,” screening at the Rochester

acquit themselves quite well, though Komasa’s more bombastic stylistic flourishes — slow motion runs through a hail of bullets, a love scene inexplicably set to dubstep — often seem at odds with the material. Still, as the film’s eventual love triangle clashes against the brutal violence, it’s hard not to get caught up in the fate of the film’s characters.

(Thursday, November 5, 7 p.m.)

In “These Daughters of Mine,” two sisters (the wonderful Agata Kulesza — star of the Oscarnominated “Ida,” which screened last year — and Gabriela Muskała) clash when they return home to take care of their stubborn father after their mother suffers a massive stroke and slips into a coma. It’s easy to imagine the Americanized version of this story, full of tearful confessions and hospital bedside heart-to-hearts, but director Kinga Dębska avoids any of those pitfalls to deliver an admirably unsentimental, still boldly emotional story about the ways we handle the unexpected obstacles life throws our way. Dębska and producer Zbigniew Domagalski are scheduled to be in attendance. (Friday, November 6, 7 p.m.)

The engaging drama, “Gods” tells the story of cardiac surgeon Zbigniew Religa (the immensely charismatic Tomasz Kot), whose professional obsession led to the completion of Poland’s first successful heart transplant in the mid-1980’s. At a time when most of the country believed such a procedure to be a complete impossibility — if not an act against nature — Religa recruited a team of skilled medical professionals to assist him in his single-minded pursuit and ended up making history. It’s a fascinating story brought to life by Lukasz Palkowski’s slick direction and Kot’s fantastic lead performance. (Saturday, November 7, 7 p.m.)

Three’s company [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

A prosecutor (Janusz Gajos) still coping with the death of his wife years earlier struggles to mend his relationship with his grownup, anorexic daughter (Justyna Suwala) in the mordantly funny “Body.” They find some unexpected assistance in the form of a therapist (Maja Ostaszewska) who, after suffering a loss of her own, believes she can communicate with the dead. Keeping the quirk levels in check, the film explores the variety of ways there are to deal with grief. Malgorzata Szumowska took home the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin International Film Festival for her sure-handed direction.

(Sunday, November 8, 6:30 p.m.)

The heartbreaking and inspirational documentary “Call Me Marianna” follows the life of transgender woman Marianna, who has grown estranged from her ex-wife, children, and her own parents as a result of her battle to live as her authentic self. Just when she achieves what she’s longed for — finally undergoing gender reassignment surgery — another setback threatens to derail things. Director Karolina Bielawska will be on hand for a Q&A following the film. (Sunday, November 8, 8:30 p.m.)

Based on the best-seller from Polish author Zygmunt Miloszewski, the atmospheric “A Grain of Truth” is billed as “the first true thriller in Polish cinema.” The story follows an investigation into a series of murders involving victims who appear to have been killed in the style of Jewish blood rituals — those infamous urban legends that spurred anti-Semitism throughout the ages. The commotion surrounding the case taps into the unspoken prejudices of the town and society at large. (Monday, November 9, 7 p.m.)

“Digging For Fire”

“Labyrinth of Lies”

“Victoria”

(R), DIRECTED BY JOE SWANBERG SCREENING AT THE DRYDEN THEATRE ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 8 P.M.

(R), DIRECTED BY GIULIO RICCIARELLI FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, AT THE LITTLE

(NR), DIRECTED BY SEBASTIAN SCHIPPER NOW PLAYING AT THE LITTLE

Fifteen years after World War II, young German lawyer Johann Radmann (Alexander Fehling) graduates from prosecuting traffic violations to putting his entire country on trial, in the postWWII drama “Labyrinth of Lies.”

When a journalist (André Szymanski) barges into the public prosecutor’s office claiming to have proof that a local schoolteacher was a former guard at Auschwitz, no one wants to take the case. Radmann has never even heard of Auschwitz himself, but he’s intrigued enough to look into the accusations.

What he discovers changes his life forever, as he learns the horrors of the camps and the many ways his country has allowed the atrocities of its past to be swept under the rug — including allowing the perpetrators of those crimes to slip back into their lives as ordinary citizens.

Based on the true story of the Frankfurt Auschwitz trials of the 1960’s — which brought 22 of the camp’s rank-and-file up on murder charges — “Labyrinth” follows the formula of films of its type: a young idealist takes on the establishment, putting everything on the line to do the right thing. But this film does it well. Fehling is quite good as Radmann (a composite character based on the three lawyers who actually worked the case), conveying his naiveté as well as his later disillusionment.

Looking with suspicious eyes upon any man of a certain age he happens to pass on the street, Radmann is horrified to learn his place in a society entirely content to live in denial.

A young woman (Laia Costa) from Madrid meets up with a charming quartet of men on her way home from a Berlin club. One of the handsome lugs, Sonne (Frederick Lau), takes an obvious liking to her, convincing her to join him and his friends, who promise to introduce her to “the real Berlin.”

Eventually it’s revealed that another member of the group, Boxer (Franz Rogowski), is fresh out of jail. Through a series of mishaps, Victoria agrees to act as driver for the group as they embark on a vague job, which turns out to be robbing a bank in order to deliver money to the gangster who provided protection for Boxer while he was in prison. Things don’t go entirely according to plan.

Based on the plot, “Victoria” sounds like a fairly by-the-numbers crime thriller. There’s just one catch: the entire movie was filmed as a single take. And there’s no “Birdman”-style effects trickery here; every bit of the two-hour, 13-minute running time is part of one continuous shot. It’s as hugely impressive to watch as you might imagine, but one can’t help but wish the story matched the technical mastery on display. For starters, I didn’t particularly believe that Victoria would so quickly allow herself to get wrapped up in the gang’s exploits, particularly when it becomes evident how much danger is involved. But the film is still a marvel of cinema — the logistical planning alone is mind-boggling to think about — and Laia Costa’s performance sells the characters actions even when the script falls short.

Over the course of his prolific career, Joe Swanberg has become synonymous with a certain type of film: low-key, structureless dramedies that revolve mainly on the relationship anxieties of middle class, 20- and 30-somethings. Swanberg’s latest, “Digging For Fire,” focuses on Tim (Jake Johnson, who co-wrote the script with Swanberg) and Lee (Rosemarie Dewitt) a Los Angeles couple with a 3-year-old son.

While housesitting the fancy-pants cottage of one of Lee’s yoga clients, the discovery of a bone and a rusty gun buried in the yard sends both husband and wife on separate adventures over one weekend. Discovering the object’s origin becomes Tim’s obsession, with the promise of mystery and excitement if he only digs deep enough. I enjoyed the journey immensely, though whether you feel the same will depend on your patience with meandering plots that only circle vaguely around a point, as Swanberg and Johnson touch on ideas of growing older, parenthood, and keeping one’s identity in the face of coupledom.

Alexander Fehling in “Labyrinth of Lies.”

The Freedom of Perspective continues from page 11

Jemison is an accomplished artist himself.

Before moving to the region to manage Ganondagan in the 1980’s, Jemison ran a gallery in New York City that showed contemporary Native American art. And since moving here, he’s curated about 10 biennials with the same focus. But Native American art has never seen widespread appreciation.

“I don’t really feel that Native American art in general has been given really serious consideration,” Jemison says. “I think many people just don’t get it.”

With the opening of the SACC, there is finally a permanent space dedicated to showing and exploring Seneca art.

Safeguarding sovereignty

The Seneca Nation is one of more than 500 Native American nations that navigates a complex existence within the United States.

The larger Seneca community includes four reservations and more than 8,000 citizens. The Seneca’s sovereignty is not something that many Americans consider on a day-to-day basis, unless there is some international contention that makes the news. Interestingly, this aspect is told at the SACC through sports.

In the gallery space, a massive display case lining one wall is reserved for rotating exhibits.

The first of these spotlights the Iroquois National Lacrosse Team, explored through an exhibit of photographs, newspaper articles, helmets, jerseys, and lacrosse sticks.

The INLT competes internationally in indoor and outdoor lacrosse, and draws players from all of the Haudenosaunee nations.

“Because they compete internationally, they have pushed the idea of Haudenosaunee sovereignty into the forefront,” Galban says. “They travel on their own passports; they have their own national flag and national anthem.”

As described in some of the newspaper clippings, the challenges of having a recognized, respected sovereignty was spotlighted in 2010, when the INLT were expected to spend a week competing for the world championship. Instead, they were blocked by the British government, which refused to recognize their tribal passports, and forced to forfeit the first game against England, and ultimately prevented their participation in the championship altogether.

Acceptance of the Iroquois passport varies country by country, Galban says. “That country needs to be assured that your passport is legitimate, that’s one level,” Galban says. “It also needs to be reassured that you can gain reentry to the country you came from.”

The exhibit, on the outside, is about this Lacrosse team, Galban says. “But the subtext

Inside the longhouse at Ganondagan. PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLIN

is about sovereignty, self-determination, independence, the right to self-govern from a Native perspective.”

Borrowed ideas: democracy and suffrage

Much of the foundation of the United States government was shaped by important political concepts learned from the Haundenosaunee.

For example, the US Constitution is partially based on democratic ideals learned from the Iroquois Confederacy, and the Seneca’s matriarchal society was part of the inspiration for the 1848 Declaration of Sentiments, which led to the Suffrage movement.

“People could see it was a matrilineal society,” Meg Joseph says. “And women had a very important responsibility. They walked side-byside with men, and that was something that was very influential” on American women.

“One of the things we talk about here is the role of our women and our clan mothers,” says Ganondagan site interpreter Ronnie Reitter. Dating back to the time of the Peacemaker who united the original five nations, the Mother of Nations (the historic figure Jikonsahseh) “gave our women the right to elect our chiefs,” she says. “It’s our women who listen to the people, and take that message to the chiefs in council.”

Historians estimate the events Reitter speaks of took place between 1450 and 1600.

Remember, it hasn’t even been 100 years since American women won the right to vote.

“It’s not only about putting that right person into that leadership role,” Reitter says, “but also keeping our eye on him and making sure that he does his job, that he does it to the best of his ability, that he doesn’t overstep it for his own personal gain.

So it’s a huge responsibility.”

There is a three-warning system for transgressions in the leadership, resulting in what’s called “de-horning the chief,” which refers to the deer antlers worn on traditional headdress, Reitter says.

“It was a serious thing. It wasn’t just him, it was his family, his clan” who bore the disgrace, she says. “The chief would end up leaving the village, because he would cease to exist in their eyes.”

Ultimately, Seneca values are about balance. “It’s the balance between males and females that keep things on an even keel,” she says. “It’s the balance with people and nature. It all ties in.”

Lessons in sustainability

“Friends of Ganondagan acts as a bridge between Native and non-Native Americans,” Meg Joseph says. “Our programming is inclusive, and we look for ways to create friendships and to share culture, and to educate people.”

An important part of what FOG does “is to offer values that are alternative to popular culture,” she says. “And that’s really something that is embraced not only with the youth, but also with really like-minded folks whose values are in line with social justice, with sustainability, with food sovereignty, with democracy, and underlining a message of peace.”

You may have heard of the concept of “seven generations.” The idea is to promote consciousness through considering that every action we make can affect the next seven generations to come. The 17,000-square-foot SACC was constructed with green building elements, including geothermal heating and cooling, and windows and skylights to take advantage of natural light.

The FOG helps steward the Iroquois White Corn Project, which keeps the Seneca’s sacred heirloom seed alive. The seed is descended from the original plants grown in the region, and keeping it places an emphasis on organic, local, non-GMO produce.

The greater community can attend the Husking Bees held every October, which are “wonderful community events, like no other,” Joseph says.

The bees really allow participants to learn about the culture and the people who have traditionally husked and braided corn, to hear stories and get to know people, and taste White Corn dishes.

The corn is planted at Ganondagan, prepared by FOG and volunteers, and available through Ganondagan and some Wegmans stores. “We want people to get back into the habit of using our traditional foods, and make it available to anyone else who is interested in eating it,” Reiter says.

Being involved with the Friends of Ganondagan has been “an extremely humbling experience,” Joseph says. Though she is not Seneca, she says she’s been welcomed into the community. “I’ve not only learned a lot about the culture and what it means to be Seneca, but I’ve also learned a lot about how I can be a better person by trying to follow the values that have been shared with me.”

A Fashionable Foursquare in Upper Monroe 168 Crosman Terrace In the mid 1800s, Rochester was a mecca of horticultural development. While George Ellwanger and Patrick Barry were captains of the city’s burgeoning nursery business, Charles Crosman staked his claim in the seed business, founding the Crosman Seed Company in 1838 in what is now the Upper Monroe Neighborhood. By the early 1900s, Crosman’s extensive seed gardens were surrounded by residential properties like the lovely Foursquare at 168 Crosman Terrace.

Built in 1915, the house is located on a quiet tree-lined street just a short walk from the original home office of the Crosman Seed Company. With its hipped roof, dormers, and overhanging eaves, the exterior is classic Foursquare architecture. A friendly front porch welcomes you in.

Inside the foyer, you notice the house’s striking period details—hardwood floors, bay windows, and leaded glass windows. The focal point of the spacious living room is a gas fireplace flanked by leaded glass transom windows. A bay window overlooks the shady front yard. Another bay window and a stunning chandelier and matching sconces highlight the elegant dining room—an ample space for dinner parties or large family gatherings. French doors open to a charming sunroom that overlooks the fully-fenced back yard. The kitchen in this period house has been completely remodeled. Oak cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a built-in office area bring this

kitchen up to 21st century standards. Patio doors open from the kitchen to a huge deck with privacy from a mature wisteria vine. A half bath completes the first floor.

From the foyer a Craftsman staircase leads to the second floor with a stop on the landing to view two full size leaded glass windows.

The updated master suite with its vaulted ceiling and tiled en-suite bath are unexpected surprises in a 1915 house. Three additional bedrooms, each with a closet and an updated full bath, open from the upstairs hall. An unfinished third floor provides expansion space while the basement below houses the laundry, the house’s mechanics, and storage space.

Outside, the garage has room for two cars.

The Upper Monroe Neighborhood’s horticultural heritage is alive and well. Each spring the neighborhood holds a plant sale at New Life Presbyterian Church, and the neighborhood was instrumental in establishing the Wide Water Community Garden—the largest community garden in Rochester. And each summer residents trek to the nearby Monroe Village Farmers’ Market for fresh produce.

This 2,066 square foot house is listed at $234,900 with taxes of $5,680. Call Debbi Jacob of Nothnagle Realty at 389-4019 for a tour.

The Facility will be initially operated and/or managed by the Company As part of the aforesaid approval process, the Company has now requested that the Agency grant the Facility a special Payment-inLieu-of-Tax Agreement that is a deviation from the Agency’s Uniform Tax Exempt Policy as defined in Section D “Deviations” thereof.

Pursuant to the Agency’s Uniform Tax Exempt Policy, a hearing will be held in the affected taxing jurisdictions to determine whether the Agency should deviate from its Uniform Tax Exempt policies and provide enhanced benefits for a project expected to have significant impact in the locality where the project will be located. Representatives of the affected taxing jurisdictions, to wit, the County of Monroe, the Town of Henrietta and the Rush-Henrietta Central School District as well as the general public are invited to participate in and attend the above-noted hearing to express their views and opinions as to whether the Agency should provide enhanced PILOT benefits. The Agency will consider the following factors in making such determination, no single one of which is determinate:

·

The nature of the proposed project (e.g., manufacturing, commercial, civic).

·

The nature of the property before the project begins (e.g., vacant land, and vacant buildings).

·

The economic condition of the area at the time of the application.

·

The extent to which the project will create or retain permanent, private sector jobs.

·

The estimated value of tax exemptions to be provided.

·

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD

Is It Really a “Problem” If 99 Percent Wish They Had It?

Among those struggling with psychological issues in modern America are the rich “one-percenters” (especially the mega-rich “onepercent of one-percenters”), according to counselors specializing in assuaging guilt and moderating class hatred.

London’s The Guardian, reporting from New York, found three such counselors, including two who barely stopped short of comparing the plight of the rich-rich with the struggles of “people of color” or out-of-closet gays. Sample worries: isolation (so few rich-rich); stress, caused by political hubbub over “inequality”; and insecurity (is my “friend” really just a friend of my money?).

Can’t Possibly Be True

Stories surface regularly about a hospital patient declared dead but who then revives briefly before once again dying.

However, Tammy Cleveland’s recent lawsuit against doctors and DeGraff Memorial Hospital near Buffalo, New York, reveals an incident more startling. She alleges that her late husband Michael displayed multiple signs of life (breathing, eyes open, legs kicking, attempted hugs, struggles against the tube in his throat) for nearly two hours, but with two doctors all the while assuring her that he was gone. (The coroner came and went twice, concluding that calling him had been premature.) The lawsuit alleges that only upon the fourth examination did the doctor exclaim, “My God,

he has a pulse!” Michael Cleveland died shortly after that — of a punctured lung from CPR following his initial heart attack — an injury for which he could have been treated.

The Continuing Crisis

— For an October report, Vice Media located the half-dozen most-dedicated collectors of those AOL giveaway CDs from the Internet’s dial-up years (“50 Hours Free!”). Sparky Haufle wrote a definitive AOL-CD collector’s guide; Lydia Sloan Cline has 4,000 unique disks; Bustam Halim at one point had 20,000 total, before weeding to 3,000. (The AOL connoisseurs file disks by color, by the hundreds of packaging styles, by number of free hours, and especially by the cobrands — the rare pearls, like AOL’s deals with Frisbee and Spider Man. Their collections, said both Halim and Brian Larkin, are simply “beautiful.”

— In 20th-century Chicago, according to legend, one did not have to be among the living to vote on election day, and a 2013 policy of the city’s community colleges has seemingly extended rights of the dead — to receive unearned degrees. City Colleges of Chicago, aiming to increase graduation numbers, has awarded a slew of posthumous degrees to former students who died with at least three-fourths of the necessary credits to graduate. (The policy also now automatically awards degrees by “reverse transfer” of credits to students who went on to four-year colleges, where they added enough credits, hypothetically, to meet City Colleges’ standards.)

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 32 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Be careful when it comes to love. Jumping to conclusions or being too aggressive will work against you. Showing greater stability and showing those around you how much fun you can be will lead to a much stronger bond with the person you want to pursue.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ll be hard to resist, and you will interest people from all walks of life. Travel or attending a seminar will encourage an encounter with someone who has all the qualities you are looking for in a partner. Don’t be afraid to make the first move.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can chatter away and turn heads with your charm, but if you don’t follow through with what you profess you have or are able to do, your audience will lose interest quickly. If you are going to challenge someone, make sure you can win before entering the ring.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your fascination with the unique or unfamiliar will take you to events or places that offer greater variety. A growing interest in people who practice different philosophies or lifestyles will catch your attention. Romance is prominent, and taking impulsive action is on the rise.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Someone is likely to read more into your friendliness than you anticipate.

Be careful not to lead someone on or make promises that you don’t plan to honor. Your changing attitude will result in fickleness that won’t be well received. Take a pass if someone comes on too strong.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll have plenty of romantic opportunity if you attend a reunion or take a trip back in time to a place you haven’t visited for a while. As much as things have changed, they are still the same -- and that’s what will intrigue you about someone from your past.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You are likely to make a grave mistake if you promise your heart to someone before doing a background check. Hidden matters will lead to a love triangle if you aren’t careful. Make sure both you and the person who interests you are free and clear of past relationships.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ll find it difficult to narrow your choice when it comes to love. Someone who has less in common with you but offers a unique and interesting lifestyle will hold your interest longer than the person who is a mirror image of you and your current life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Tread carefully when dealing with someone who is trying to push his or her way into your life. You may get more than you bargained for if you are too accommodating or friendly. Deception will lead to a mishap that has the potential to damage your reputation.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll have trouble containing your feelings. A need to seal a personal commitment will lead to strange behavior on your part backed with good intentions and a desire to get on with the life you dream of with someone you think is special.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t be confused by the conversations you have with someone you have been considering as a life partner. Patience and understanding along with offering a little space will help you both realize if the fit is good for both of you and meant to be.

Bide your time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll come across someone who you feel immediately attracted to if you sign up for an activity or event that is connected to your work or something that concerns you. Don’t be shy; step forward and make the first move. If you don’t show interest you may miss out.
