So here we are today, with people who want to be president acting in ways none of us would permit in our children. The insults, the name-calling, the lies, the hatred and hostility, the divisiveness, the anger… the racism and sexism…. all of this is thriving. It’s ruining the reputation of the party of Abraham Lincoln. And rather than being appalled, voters are endorsing it. A few media analysts have suggested that this kind of behavior could cost Republicans control of the Senate. A month or so ago, I would have agreed. But based on the Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire and South Carolina primaries, I wouldn’t bet on it. Trump won in two of those tests and came in second in the third. The alarming Ted Cruz is one of Trump’s only two real competitors, and the other, Marco Rubio, seems only slightly more palatable in terms of temperament and maturity. Terrifying. Well, maybe all those folks are just poorly educated Fox-News-indoctrinated know-nothings. Apparently not: Take a look at the numbers in a Quinnipiac poll that was released last week. The nationwide survey asked Republican and Republican-leaning voters which Republican candidate they would vote for right now. Trump led in almost every area. He led in all age groups. He led among both men and women. Cruz beat him among very conservative Republicans and among Tea Party Republicans, but Trump led the pack among less conservative Republicans. Trump would get the votes of 30 percent of those with a college degree. Rubio: 24 percent. Cruz: 16. The more thoughtful, less angry – more polite – Jeb Bush and John Kasich were far behind. On every question, and in every category – including college educated voters. Sixty-four percent of the Republican and Republican-leaning voters had a “favorable” opinion of Rubio. Trump and Cruz: 62 percent each. (Trump’s “favorability” score was only 55 percent among college-educated voters. But Cruz scored 61 and Rubio 75.)

The difference between Republicans and Democrats is interesting: In the same poll, Barack Obama was viewed favorably by 84 percent of Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters – and by 91 percent of college-educated Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters. (Bernie Sanders: 82 percent; 90 percent college-educated. Hillary Clinton: 74 percent; 75 percent college educated.) It’s probably way too early to make many assumptions about what will happen in this election campaign. And polls aren’t infallible, as they keep proving. But we have seen and heard for ourselves what the Republican candidates have been doing. Voters in the first three statewide tests have expressed their opinion about it. And apparently, they don’t mind the insults, the outright fabrications, the racism and sexism and appeals to fear and hatred. Or, worse: they’re applauding it. It’s troubling that college-educated voters are so willing to embrace rumors and lies over facts. And as someone whose older family members included a fair number of born-again Christians, it’s troubling to me to see voters in that category embrace the hatred and the insults of Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. (But then again, some of those family members were shockingly racist; it’s not unusual for Christians of all varieties to pick and choose as we read the Gospels.) Maybe we’re just seeing frustrated voters lashing out at political establishment leaders, blaming them for the very real problems this country faces. Maybe as we get closer to November, the anger will be spent and Americans will come to their senses. But then I look at those numbers in the Quinnipiac poll. Terrifying, honestly.

Trump, Cruz, and Rubio and the angry AmericansIs “terrifying” too strong a description for this election campaign? Maybe. But “disturbing” sure isn’t strong enough, for the campaign or for Republican candidates’ behavior. For a while, you could find some humor in the antics, particularly those of Donald Trump. A bit of entertainment you figured would disappear when the public – and party elders – got a grip and pushed back. But no.

Greatest nation?I saw Michael Moore’s film “Where to Invade Next,” and the message in this film could not be more clear in this presidential campaign year. Repeatedly saying or hearing that the United States is the greatest country on Earth negates the need for any improvements and kills aspiration for anything different than what we have now. Yet, as the film points out, the United States lags far behind in so many areas. Education in America is failing. Health care, despite some gains, is still neither cost-effective or available to all. For those with jobs, the struggle for decent work-life balance still results in hard choices that leave families and individuals out in the cold. No country with homeless encampments under bridges should claim the title of “greatest country on Earth.” Michael Moore took a chisel and hammer to the Berlin Wall in 1989, a wall he believed would never come down. But, as Moore suggests, things can change by the will of the people. So, when Hillary Clinton emphatically that states single-payer universal health care will never happen in America, we do not have to believe her. Clinton is simply protecting insurance companies. Countries around the world that have better

health care systems, better education, and better working conditions had to fight for all those things. Americans, by comparison, seem to have been beaten into submission by politicians and the corporations that pull their strings. We have given up hoping for anything better than we have now. America is good, but there is room for so much improvement. We cannot let Republicans drag us back in time or Hillary Clinton hold us down. Only the presidential campaigns of the Green Party’s Jill Stein and Bernie Sanders dare to address these shortcomings with bold ideas that could put the United States on par with the best of the rest of the world.TOM JANOWSKI

Scandal stateRegarding Urban Journal’s “Yet Another Scandal”: It is truly time to change our state’s constitution in regard to government workers and their pensions. When justice authorities determine that a crime may have been committed against the state that warrants an arrest, I believe that the accused’s pension benefits should be immediately frozen until a verdict is established. If an appeal is made challenging the guilty verdict, the case should remain open and the pension remain frozen until a final judgment is determined. If the judgment remains guilty, the pension should be permanently retracted, possibly to be redistributed into the pool of honest, law-abiding state workers. Individuals who work for local and state governments need to be reminded that they are public servants with a serious responsibility to the taxpayers of this state. We cannot allow them to victimize our citizens and still walk away from their crime with a retirement intact.CHRIS BURLEY

Activists have been protesting a panel on the historic Ontario Beach Carousel. FILE PHOTO

PRESERVATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

There’s a resolution in sight concerning a controversial panel at the historic Ontario Beach Park carousel, which shows racially insensitive images of black children. At the Preservation Board’s March 2 meeting, the city will ask for permission to remove the panel, which then would be housed at the Rochester Museum and Science Center. The board’s meeting will be at 6 p.m. in City Council Chambers at City Hall. The city will propose replacing the original panel with a new one that aesthetically reflects the original style of the carousel, a designated city landmark, says James Smith, the

city’s director of communications and special events. Smith says Mayor Lovely Warren and City Council President Loretta Scott reached an agreement with RMSC to house the original panel there. An advantage to RMSC’s involvement is that Lois Shaffer, the museum’s deputy director of exhibits, is experienced with restoring historic carousels, he says. The city will also seek the community’s input concerning the imagery shown on the new panel as well as how to display the old panel, says Smith. There have been numerous protests at the carousel site urging the removal of the panel.

“This is something that has created a great deal of anguish in the community,” he says. But city officials also see an opportunity to create an educational program using the original panel, he says. The panel crudely depicts two black children in what African-American historians sometimes refer to as Pickaninny art. These images frequently involve caricatures of scruffy black children with bright red lips, big round eyes, and braided hair. Smith says the new panel should be in place by Memorial Day, in time for park visitors to use the carousel.

Leaders of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra had both good financial news and bad when they unveiled their annual report last week. The good: The RPO’s young new music director, Ward Stare, seems to be generating enthusiasm among RPO patrons. Single-ticket sales were up 19 percent last year – to a record level. Total attendance for the year was up. And the 2016-17 season seems to be off to a good start, with subscription sales for RPO season tickets up and strong sales for the RPO’s blockbuster special, featuring cellist Yo-Yo Ma. The bad news, however, is that like many philharmonic orchestras in the United States, the RPO continues to have serious financial problems. It ended last year with an operating surplus of $234,000. But that’s the result of three bequests totaling $817,000 and continued drawdown from the RPO’s unrestricted endowment fund. Had it not been for that revenue, the orchestra would have had a deficit of $1.433 million. Among the measures being taken to reverse that, interim CEO Ralph Craviso is increasing the RPO’s development and marketing staff. The musicians have agreed to a salary freeze, and the RPO began broadening its offerings to attract younger audiences.

The Honeoye Falls Fire Department’s annual Christmas parade was in full swing when a camera-wielding drone descended on it. The parade is a popular community event, and in this past year’s, more than 15 area fire departments queued up in the village; that’s a whole lot of trucks covered in wreaths, lights, and holiday lawn ornaments. It’s the kind of event that lends itself to snapshots, and the drone operator clearly realized that the procession presented the potential for some interesting aerial shots. Photos from the drone started circulating around Facebook soon after the parade, says Honeoye Falls Mayor Rick Milne. But its presence and the images were far from controversial. Milne says that he’s mostly heard people talking about how much they enjoyed the images. “Most people kind of looked at it and said, ‘Oh, that’s kind of neat, got some neat pictures,’” Milne says. “But if all of a sudden that crashed, or it hit a building, or whatever, then that person would be liable for those damages and the harm it caused.” Drones have become an extremely popular hobby, and as they become more affordable more people are going to buy them; the Consumer Technology Association estimated that 700,000 of the

radio-controlled aircraft would be sold in 2015. But as more of the drones buzz around the skies, local government leaders across the state are getting privacy and safety complaints from constituents. The New York Conference of Mayors and Municipal Officials, of which Milne is president, held an hour-long session on drones during its winter legislative meeting earlier this month. (The Honeoye Falls village board had a discussion about drones during a recent meeting, too). The takeaway from the state meeting: local governments can’t regulate drones, since the Federal Aviation Administration already does. The FAA regulations say operators aren’t supposed to fly drones – unmanned aircraft systems, in the agency’s language – above 400 feet, near planes and helicopters, within five miles of an airport, and near people or stadiums. The same laws apply to radio-controlled airplanes and helicopters, like the kind you’d see at a model airfield. If a community is having problems with drones, it has few options, and all deal with enforcement of some sort, says Wade Beltramo, general counsel for NYCOM. Mainly, local law enforcement can start an investigation and call in the FAA, which can determine whether the operator violated

federal airspace regulations. But local police may also be able to slap trespassing charges against drone operators who fly their machines over someone’s property without permission, Beltramo says. This scenario has nothing to do with the drones’ photo and video capabilities; the laws would treat a model airplane pilot the same, Beltramo says. It’s a property rights issue, more or less. Airspace above 500 feet is open to FAA authorized aircraft, but anything below that is basically considered private property, Beltramo says. A model airplane pilot could face the same consequence. “It hasn’t really been litigated but we may see that,” Beltramo says.

“If all of a sudden that crashed, or it hit a building,

or whatever, then that person would be liable for those

damages and the harm it caused.”

A NEW center city

When Sarah Rutherford and her boyfriend were looking for a new apartment about three years ago, they deliberately focused on downtown Rochester.

Rutherford, a local artist, grew up in the Boston area and lived in New York City before moving here in 2007; the couple wanted to live in the urban environment of the center city. “I felt like to truly understand Rochester, I would need to live in downtown Rochester,” Rutherford says. They found an affordable apartment, and last June, Rutherford — who was a co-director of The Yards artist space in the Public Market — moved her work into a large studio in the Cumberland Street post office building, within walking distance of her home. Through large windows that let in massive amounts of natural light, there’s a good view of downtown across the Inner Loop. With enough room for a woodshop in one area, and a couple of small couches, tables, and a desk spread throughout the space, Rutherford is excited about the studio — and the building itself. Down the hall is Flower City Ballet; a barber shop is around the corner; there are welders, a modeling agency, and an office for a DJ company. Furniture builder Staach — where Rutherford’s boyfriend, Brandon Colaprete, works as a designer — has rooms spread across the building’s second floor. “One of the things I love about this building: it feels like a true cross section of Rochester,” Rutherford says. There’s a possibility for collaboration happening among different mediums, and among people with different interests and goals. It’s part of the reason she was so determined to live and work downtown, she says. The area is changing, and there’s a lot of potential — not only for an artist to make a contribution, but also for downtown itself to become something outstanding.

“By choosing to live here, spend my money here, put in my time here,” she says, “I could be part of that movement and that moment.” Like art itself, the entertainment and cultural offerings of downtown Rochester are layered, complex, and difficult to quantify. But as businesses move into the area, and more

people become residents investing their free time and money, there is opportunity for downtown to become a broader, more vibrant cultural hub for Rochester. The area already boasts some of the city’s biggest and oldest cultural institutions, has a popular nightlife district, and hosts large events like the Rochester International Jazz

about THIS SERIES

Once the region’s retail and business-office hub, downtown Rochester

changed dramatically, seeming to empty out. Now, though, there is real,

observable growth – not from large corporations and department stores

but from tech firms, ad agencies, restaurants, cultural institutions…

and residents.

In building after building, the downtown of yesterday is being

converted into a new center city. Is this sustainable?

In a four-part monthly series, we’re looking at the growth. In

December: housing. In January: business. This month, arts and

entertainment, and in March, keeping it going.

Festival and Rochester Fringe Festival. But downtown hasn’t quite yet hit its stride.

By most accounts — studies, experts, resident feedback — it’s important for a city that its downtown have significant cultural activity. Bustling arts, dining, and nightlife scenes attract new residents, keep employees downtown after 5 p.m., and appeal to tourists. “Downtowns, in general, tend to be the centers” of a lot of arts activity, says Heidi Zimmer-Meyer, president of the Rochester Downtown Development Corporation. And, she says, according to people who study cities and are involved in urban redevelopment, the healthiest downtowns have a broad mix of uses and lots of reasons for people to be there. The arts have proved to raise the standard of living in a city; and like the “chicken or egg” dilemma, residents usually follow culture and businesses, which follow the residents. “The ideal and very healthiest downtowns will have a significant presence” of arts, culture, and entertainment as parts of the economic sector, Zimmer-Meyer says. Many cities have shown that an emphasis on the arts can be an important part of revitalizing downtown: Pittsburgh has a 14-block cultural district, established in 1984, that now has more than 90 retail stores, 50 restaurants, seven theaters, eight public parks, and numerous art galleries. Cumberland, Maryland, revitalized its downtown, starting in 2002, through a combination of creative marketing strategies, tax incentives, and community grants for artists and small businesses. Baltimore’s Inner Harbor district is a notable example of how arts festivals and cultural attractions rebuilt a dying area. “It’s been proven in city after city,” says Rochester Fringe Festival Producer Erica Fee. “If you can get the artists downtown, you can transform the entire future of a city.” Fringe, which brought more than 63,000 people downtown

during its 2015 run, stresses downtown revitalization in its mission statement. “We try to make it exciting, very different and hip,” Fee says. “And if you can make something like that, you will intrigue people to come downtown. You really have to give them a reason to come downtown.”

Rochester currently has a vibrant arts community, with a considerable number of music, theater, arts, and dance offerings. “We are known in this part of the state, at least — and frankly across the state — for being a city that has a pretty rich offering of culture and arts as a community,” Zimmer-Meyer says. “We tend to have a lot for a city of our size, and I’m not sure why that it is, except that it’s part of the culture of this place. We have a real love and respect for the arts, and people support that in this community.” Downtown — generally considered the center city within the Inner Loop as well as High Falls, part of Corn Hill, and the eastern East End and Alexander-Park-Monroe areas — plays a significant role in Rochester’s culture. Within those boundaries are some of the city’s oldest and most important institutions: the Eastman School of Music, which was established in 1921, and the Eastman Theatre, which opened in 1922; the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, which just announced its 94th season; The Little Theatre, built in the 1920’s; and Hochstein School of Music and Dance, which, in its 95th year, holds its own events and also hosts numerous concerts held by other organizations. There are numerous other key music venues: Abilene Bar and Lounge, Anthology, Bernunzio Uptown Music, Bug Jar, Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, Flour City Station, Montage Music Hall, Skylark Lounge, and Water Street Music Hall. There are a few art galleries and studios: Rochester Contemporary Art Center, Mark Groaning Art Gallery, and

Pike Stained Glass Studios (which is more than 100 years old). Live theater takes place at Geva Theatre Center’s two stages, Bread and Water Theater, and Downstairs Cabaret Theatre (a downtown mainstay for 30 years). And along with Flower City Ballet, there is Borinquen Dance Theatre, FuturPointe Dance, Garth Fagan Dance, Rhythm Society, and Tango Café.

Downtown is beginning to feel the effects of growth, and the arts and entertainment are playing an important role, improving the region’s quality of life. Plays, concerts, nightclubs, lectures, buskers, and visual art add to the vibrancy – as do the growing number of downtown artists and performers.

finding theCULTURE

Theaters, concert halls, art studios and galleries, dance groups, cinemas, museums, nightclubs, festivals: there’s still a perception that there’s little to do downtown, but a broad variety of arts and entertainment venues enliven downtown weeknights and weekends. You’ll find an extensive, interactive list on CreatingDowntown.com

Patrons of the East End’s nightclubs and bars overflow onto East and Alexander on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Downtown has more coffee shops than a jittery hand could shake a stick at, not to mention the restaurants and cafes that dot the area. Downtown also has Blue Cross Arena — which hosts the Amerks and some of the biggest performance artists who come through town — Frontier Field, home of the Rochester Red Wings and the site of other summer events; and Martin Luther King Jr. Park, which hosts a variety of summer concerts. Still, even more cultural heavyweights — Blackfriars Theatre, RBTL’s Auditorium Theater, The Hungerford, Rochester City Ballet, George Eastman Museum, and Rochester Lyric Opera — are located outside of downtown. The Neighborhood of the Arts — which includes the Memorial Art Gallery, The Eastman Museum, Rochester Museum and Science Center, Anderson Arts Building, Village Gate, Writers & Books, MuCCC, and Visual Studies Workshop (whose building also houses the Arts & Cultural Council for Greater Rochester) — has claimed the title of Rochester’s arts district. The Neighborhood of the Arts abuts downtown, but the two often feel like they’re miles apart. And when neighborhoods and their attractions rely so much on walkability, competing areas can be a problem. RoCo facilitates Rochester’s First Friday, the citywide gallery night that promotes artists and arts venues, and most participants, according to RoCo Executive Director Bleu Cease, are outside of downtown. There’s so much activity in the Neighborhood of the Arts, and when RoCo “looked at the vicinity of RoCo and other downtown First Friday Venues — well, we’ve just had challenges with that,” Cease says. On a busy First Friday, there may be 20 to 30 venues open, but only three or four are located downtown, and because there is a tendency for people who go out to stick to one area or neighborhood, the Neighborhood of the Arts sees more traffic than downtown on those busy First Fridays.

Rochester, historically, has had a strong connection to the arts. By the 1850’s, Rochester was a popular destination for traveling art exhibits, concerts, and lectures; Ralph Waldo Emerson and Oscar Wilde lectured in the city in the mid- and late-1800’s. The city’s first art gallery, the Academy of Music and Art, was organized in 1859, and opened in 1862 on the top floor of the Rochester Savings Bank building. (It closed soon after.) By the end of the century, several art galleries had taken hold, including The Powers Gallery, which opened in October 1875 in

ABANDONED SUBWAYBY JAKE CLAPP

Artists could losethree spacious parlors on the fifth floor of the Powers Block in the heart of the city. Few American cities could match The Powers Gallery during the 1880’s, and it helped spur local artists. The arts continued to grow, and the early 20th century saw the establishment of Eastman School of Music, Hochstein, and the RPO, along with the Memorial Art Gallery (founded in 1913). Downtown’s cultural offerings grew alongside its business and retail offerings during the first half of the 1900’s. Around the same time that Sibley’s was becoming the largest department store in the state outside of New York City, a handful of movie palaces were springing up: the Bijou Dream, the Capitol Theatre, the Embassy Theatre, the Paramount, Loew’s Rochester, and the RKO Palace. The Little Theatre — built in 1928, restored in the 1980’s, and now operated as a non-profit by WXXI Public Broadcasting — is the last of that era. Like a lot of cities across the country, Rochester’s downtown saw a severe decline in the last few decades of the 20th century. Residential flight to the suburbs meant fewer patrons near the city center, and the arts and entertainment providers spread further across the city, away from downtown. Large organizations were able to survive, and even a few of the more contemporary mainstays — RoCo (founded in 1977 and on East Avenue since 2000), Downstairs Cabaret (which opened in 1983), Java’s Café (nearing 25 years on Gibbs Street) — were able to get a foothold downtown. But efforts by the city to jump-start downtown’s entertainment scene in the 90’s with a plan for the High Falls District failed. And performance spaces and small arts organizations came and went with fair regularity. Some left an impact visible today: Scorgie’s, which was open on Andrews Street from 1977 to 1994 and hosted the Ramones, the Cramps, and Elvis Costello, employed Danny Deutsch – now owner of Abilene – as a bartender; and Jazzberry’s was an integral part of establishing the East End in the early 90’s. In the last decade, though, small, steady, organic growth has started to lift up the area. “There are more businesses, and more people living downtown, without a doubt,” Cease says. “You can feel it; you can absolutely feel it. Immediately, in the vicinity of our building, the number of people who are out has increased considerably.” Mark Cuddy, Geva Theatre Center’s artistic director, echoes that sentiment. “Downtown is infinitely better than it was 20 years go,” he says. “Lots of things have been brewing for a while — they’ve been brewing during the recession and now coming out of it, banks are lending, and development is happening. People are moving downtown; there’s a different energy.” And for the music business, at least, downtown is “flourishing,” says Randy Peck, owner of The Montage Music Hall. “There’s a lot of venues, a lot of competition now.”

“With the revitalization projects that are going on in the city,” says Peck, “there’s never been a more exciting time to be where I am.”

While his gallery, 1975, was on Charlotte Street, artist and WALL\THERAPY co-curator Erich Lehman saw the area develop. “Opportunities were absolutely growing,” Lehman says. But after three years, he wasn’t able to keep 1975 going, and the gallery closed last October. Lehman had opened 1975 in 2012 after being approached by a co-owner of 2Vine with a good deal to take over 89 Charlotte Street, the former space of The Little Bakery. Lehman ran a crowd-funding campaign to help with renovations, but right off the bat, he started to run into obstacles. “No regrets, but one of the things I wish I understood better before I went in was the barriers, at least at that point, that were in place, and the added expense for a building on that side of the Inner Loop,” he says. Still, he was able to open the gallery, and hosted a long series of successful exhibits. But the lack of foot traffic was what ultimately meant he couldn’t sustain the gallery. “I would get people for the events, and then weekends, there were always people who would come through, but even with some businesses popping up next door, it didn’t increase my foot traffic,” he says. Part of him believes he was a little too early, Lehman says. Charlotte Square, a large new residential development, is being built around the corner, and Charlotte Street now connects across the former Inner Loop. All that, Lehman thinks, will help Ugly Duck Coffee, which plans to open in the space this year. Lack of foot traffic can be attributed to few reasons to go downtown during certain times of the day, Lehman says. “The chances for the happenstance discovery of a business downtown are slim,” he says. “You look at other cities, there’s restaurants next to businesses, next to whatever, and that helps breed each other’s business.”

Rochester's abandoned subway, an important spot for the city's street artists, is in danger from a proposed apartment complex. FILE PHOTO

The development of downtown will mean more people, business, and ultimately, arts and entertainment, but it has raised concerns about gentrification and the loss of important spaces for artists. A proposed apartment complex at Court Street and South Avenue and an adjoining public promenade would seal off the east entrance to the abandoned subway system, and destroy parts of the tunnel to create underground parking. The complex, known as the 103 Court Street Apartments, would be built by Morgan Development, and the public promenade, The Promenade at Erie Harbor Park, would be paid for through a combination of public and private funds. In addition to being a unique piece of Rochester history, the subway (particularly the section in the downtown area) has been important to the city’s arts community. Numerous street artists – local, national, and international heavy hitters that include ROA, Gaia, Faust, and HowNosm — have left their mark on the subway’s walls.

The subway “is about the experience of something that doesn’t exist in any other US city,” says Erich Lehman, artist and WALL\THERAPY co-curator. “That’s the draw.” Despite its abandoned status, the subway is considered a venue by many artists in the area. While it might not be a proper gallery – with walls, a sign, or electricity bill – it is important to many people as an alternative venue, says Bleu Cease, exective director of the Rochester Contemporary Art Center. An online petition is circulating calling for the city to stop the development of the apartment complex and the Erie Harbor Promenade, and to preserve the subway. On Thursday, February 25, City Council will consider granting another $250,000 to go toward designing plans for the area. The meeting begins at 7:30 p.m. in City Council Chambers, City Hall; the public speaking portion begins at 6:30 p.m., and those who want to speak must sign up by 5:30 p.m. on the 25th by calling the Council office (585) 428-7421.

continues from page 9creating DOWNTOWN

Right now, downtown feels divided. “Downtown Rochester is broken up into — as far as culture, there’s two districts: an East End district, and then there’s the south,” Cuddy says. Geva, along with The Strong, are located in the south, and many perceive a distance barrier between those organizations and the Eastman Theatre, The Little, or Hart’s. And given Geva’s proximity to I-490, it’s not unusual to see attendees from outside of the city not venture further into downtown before or after a show. “It feels to me that we have enough of the larger arts and culture venue,” Cuddy says. “What we really need is more vibrancy on the street level. And that’s helped by having more bodies, frankly.” A lot of disconnection happens in Rochester, says Sarah Rutherford. “And there’s a lot of potential right now to do this right. These discussions need to be happening now. My fear is that people will keep developing these little pockets within downtown for their interests and not look at the overall picture.” There is distance (both physical and perceived) between a lot of the larger institutions; a lack of smaller, affordable spaces for artist housing or studios; and not much retail to bring people into downtown. “We’re at a point where our potential progress requires coordination,” says University of Rochester President Joel Seligman. “We’re starting to see some very substantial real estate investment downtown; there are some jobs downtown; we’re seeing an increasing number of millennials interested in living near where they work. But to really take these green shoots and accelerate the revitalization of Rochester, everything is essential.” Seligman notes the concentration of talent that is available in Rochester, and says that to make a robust arts community, a variety of artists need to be within the same vicinity. But

coordination among all entities downtown — artists, festival promoters, business owners, government, hotels —is crucial. With the Downtown Innovation Zone, a designated area of startups and creative businesses, including many of downtown’s arts organizations, “we proposed a body that wasn’t going to coordinate by strict direction,” Seligman says, “but could listen to people from various areas and could focus on encouraging them to work together and then support working on consolidated funding applications for state support.” Rochester hasn’t seen as much city planning as many other cities has, he says. “The downtown innovation, or cultural, center, is one where I do believe some greater sense of direction and planning would benefit everyone.”

There’s also downtown’s reputation to deal with. For a time, people were discouraged from going downtown due to the lack of people and a perception of crime. Those aren’t easy impressions to shake, but festivals —the Rochester International Jazz Festival, Rochester Fringe Festival, Greentopia, WALL\THERAPY, and The Yards’ annual Spectral Carnival in St. Joseph’s Park — have done a lot to show the potential of an arts-centered downtown. John Nugent, co-producer and artistic director of the Rochester International Jazz Festival, says he recognized the potential for a festival when he noticed the close proximity between downtown’s performance spaces. The festival has capitalized on the walking distance between its venues, and has shown the ease of navigating parts of downtown. “This town has all kinds of growth potential,” Nugent says. “It just needs investment.” The Jazz Festival, Nugent says, has shown how a critical mass of people can affect

an area. “That critical mass in turn creates commerce, and creates an impact, in addition to this great art, this music that people have come to hear.” While on a smaller scale, The Spectral Carnival has brought its own arts focus to a part of downtown. The carnival came about when Rutherford and her boyfriend tried to have a picnic in St. Joseph’s Park. The couple found the park locked, but were able to get a glimpse inside. Rutherford immediately thought, “How is this not being used? How is this locked up?” She got together with other artists in The Yards, met representatives of the Landmark Society — who were already working on plans to open the park again — and they collaborated to hold the carnival, with music, dance, and interactive art. Last October was the carnival’s second event. The hope was that attendees would have a new experience with the park, “and it’s going to be a stronger experience than if they hadn’t come downtown for that event,” Rutherford says. “And it’s on their mind, ‘Oh, there’s this beautiful space; let’s go experience it today.’” While the Jazz Festival brings in more than 200,000 people each year, and Fringe sees more than 60,000, for some people it’s tough to keep downtown in mind outside of the summer. “During those 10 days, I do feel we are successful in bringing new people downtown,” Fee says. “We have a lot of people who tell us that this is the only time of year they come downtown, which to me is really shocking.”

While downtown’s cultural scene is only part of the city’s overall offerings, it’s diverse, collaborative, and growing. And it’s located everywhere in some way. Local artists are displaying work in the Bug Jar, Spot Coffee, The Little Café, Skylark Lounge, Java’s Café, and lots of other mixed-use spaces. WALL\

THERAPY is putting art right into the faces of Rochesterians, and prompting people to go to areas they’ve never visited before. In efforts to connect with younger audiences, some larger institutions are trying new programs: the RPO has hosted “Video Games Live” and “Distant Worlds — Music from Final Fantasy”; and The Strong has started an after-hours, adults-only happy hour. Downtown has only just started growing again, though, and it hasn’t reached a critical mass of artists and patrons. It may be a few years yet before downtown sees another cultural golden age. “I think we’re very lucky to have the institutions that we have for a city our size,” Fee says. “However, I do think there are opportunities to use some of the vacant spaces and transform them into more artist studios, or allow artists cheaper rent. They’ve found that in other cities, if they can really move the artists in, they can transform their downtown.” With a lot of competing business factors, it would take coordination, politicking, and determination to make affordable spaces for artists. But it always comes back to collaboration. You can hear how excited Sarah Rutherford is about downtown when she talks about the area; it’s something she’s thought a lot about. She wants to be part of the conversation to make downtown vibrant again, and that’s going to take artists and entertainers getting involved. It’s all about helping make an identity for Rochester. “As artists, if you feel like you can play a part or make change in a space, it’s more exciting,” she says. “For me, that’s the exciting part. I’m not sitting here wishing there were 15 more stores around the corner from where I live” — although her experiences changed when Hart’s and Fuego opened — “but it’s about being part of this moment.”

URBAN ACTION


[ CHOW HOUND ] BY KATIE LIBBY

In the 1920’s and 1930’s, the historic building at 3001 Monroe Avenue was rumored to have been a brothel and speakeasy, long before the days of People’s Pottery and Pittsford Wegmans. The building was built in 1820 and later served as the location for the Spring House restaurant for many years. When Katherine Mott and Kenneth Nozik took over the building in 2009, they completely renovated it and opened Monroe’s Restaurant; Mott also ran a bakery on the bottom floor. After learning of the rumors of the building’s scandalous past, Mott decided to open a speakeasy on the bottom floor, where the original was said to have been. In December 2015, The Scofflaw opened its doors. The term “scofflaw” originated during prohibition, and The Scofflaw cocktail made its debut at Harry’s Bar in Paris in 1924. Mott researched the history of the speakeasy, as well as the trend of speakeasy-type bars opening up in bigger cities, like New York City’s PDT (Please Don’t Tell), which you enter by going through a door in a phone booth in a hot dog restaurant. At Rochester’s Scofflaw, there are two red lights outside the door, and if they’re

lit, you know the speakeasy is open. Mott eventually wants to move to a password-only entrance; you’ll get a daily password by going online or calling. The menu at The Scoffalow is Italian-American influenced, but it’s completely different from the menu upstairs at Monroe’s. Executive Chef Andrew Vaccaro is turning out dishes like smelt, fried in a house batter and served with lemon aioli ($9); duck wings served Sicilian or garlic parmesan style ($11), and tripe, served with a spicy tomato sauce with red peppers and onions ($18). Those looking for lighter fare will find an assortment of salads, flatbreads, and sandwiches. Nathan Bash and Peter Mulconry have curated a cocktail menu that includes classics like the French 75 and Sazarac, as well as their own creations that include the Ritz and Rubes made with genever, Grandma’s Jam, Aperol, and champagne ($10), and the Machine Gun Kelly, made with gin, green Chartreuse, basil, lemon, and simple syrup ($10). The cocktail menu will change every few months. The Scofflaw is located at 3001 Monroe Avenue. It’s open Thursday through Saturday from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. It’s also open Monday through

Wednesday for private events only. 348-9103. Information: scofflawbarlounge.com.

Quick bitesThe Daily Refresher (293 Alexander Street) will host Luck of the Irish… Slainte! on Tuesday, March 1 from 6 to 8 p.m. Guests will learn how to make cocktails focused on Irish spirits and learn about Irish themes and cultural influence. Tickets are $40 and are available on eventbrite.com. The Roc City Hot Sauce Fest will take place on Thursday, March 3, at 6 p.m. at the Burgundy Basin in Pittsford (1361 Marsh Road). Guests will sample homemade hot sauces from competing local restaurants and have the opportunity to vote for their favorite. Presale tickets are $20 ($25 tickets at the door), and can be purchased by calling 678-4817 or emailing [email protected]. The event is hosted by the Rochester Chapter of the New York State Restaurant Association. Cider Creek will host a Sour Apples Cider Tasting at the Tap and Mallet (381 Gregory Street) on Thursday, March 3, from 6 to 9 p.m. Four sour ciders will be on tap and 5-ounce flights will be available for purchase with a cheese pairing. Representatives from

Cider Creek will be at the event to answer questions, and Kevin Collins will give a talk on how the ciders were made at 7 p.m. Love in a Dish: A Good Luck Brunch will take place at Restaurant Good Luck (50 Anderson Avenue) on Sunday, March 6, at noon. The brunch is part of the Inspired Table Series and focuses on the works of celebrated food and service writer Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher. Tickets are $45 and include a family-style brunch, cocktail bar, tax, and service. Purchase tickets at inspiredtable.restaurantgoodluck.com.

[ FOLK ] He once traveled 260,000 miles on tour, lost himself, then “found a little bit of grace,” says David Ramirez. His words wax with melancholy and bitter honesty, laced with a little bit of hope. You get the feeling that Ramirez is whiskey-browed and has been through enough.

[ INSTRUMENTAL ] Rolling Stone has dubbed Kaki King a “genre unto herself”; the Brooklyn-based composer and guitarist definitely feels like an iconoclast in her avant-garde approach. While performing her most recent album, “The Neck Is a Bridge to the Body,” King shows her affinity for the visual experience by conjuring a Bjork-esque creative force. Picture her guitar a-glow with a colorful projection showing the sound waves and resonance of what she strums. Kaki King’s non-lyrical creations seem uninterested in saying anything explicit, with a jazzy, percussive playing style that’s enjoyably unpredictable. This is the kickoff show to The Little Concert Series, which is presented by Different Radio. — BY TYLER PEARCE

Mike Jacoby “Northeastsouthwest”Self-releasedmikejacobymusic.com

Ex-local boy Mike Jacoby does good with his second album, an 11-song extravaganza, “Northeastsouthwest.” As he explains it, Jacoby grew up in the Northeast and now resides in the Southwest. And as the metaphorical title alludes, the album comes at the listener from all sides and doesn’t let up. More than merely of the singer-songwriter ilk, Jacoby explains he was looking for the “Sound of an acoustic guitar banging away at a raucous house party.” Dude … mission accomplished. The Long Beach, California-based artist swings seamlessly between the haunting hush of the solo acoustic artist and the righteous rush of the rock ‘n’ roller. “Northeastsouthwest” opens steady and acoustically leaning with the song “Ready When You Are” before kicking into a relentless four-on-the-floor stomp on “Nevermind Me,” only to be followed by a creepy pluck and strum on the somewhat off-putting “Hell if I Know.” This treacherous trio of cuts helps set the tone for the power punch of the remaining eight tracks full of beer-and-a-shot barroom rock ‘n’ roll, Americana, and roots-rock. It calls to mind artists like Soul Asylum, Ryan Adams — while he was in Whiskey Town — and even Paul Westerberg. And that all makes sense considering the fact Jacoby was a founding member of Los Angeles roots-rock band Haymaker. When the band discontinued making hay (three albums worth), Jacoby continued solo, recording his first LP, “The Big 5-0,” entirely on his laptop. On “Northeastsouthwest,” he wrote all the tracks, played all the instruments, produced, and engineered everything. Technological minimalism and wizardry aside, it’s Jacoby’s clever narrative woven throughout, full of wry humor, exasperation, resolve, and deprecation, that really holds your attention long after the music has set the hook.— BY FRANK DE BLASE

[ INTERVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE

If ever there was a constant figure in rock ‘n’ roll — sideman, bandleader, or otherwise — it’s Nils Lofgren. From time fronting his own band, Grin (which lasted 1971 to 1974), to his tenure in Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, it’s as if Lofgren and his guitar have always been there. And for close to 50 years, they have. Lofgren is celebrating the release of “UK2015: Face the Music Tour,” an extraordinary live rendering of his duo work with multi-instrumentalist Greg Varlotta. The album came together upon the urging of Lofgren’s wife, who heard live album potential night after night during the duo’s latest UK tour. Lofgren is now back storming the highway with The Boss in the E Street Band. When that excursion draws to a close, it’ll be back onto the solo train or whatever may scratch the man’s itch at the time. Lofgren answered the phone to answer a few questions about swapping out the accordion for a guitar, playing with Bart Simpson, and being more than simply a sideman. An edited transcript of that conversation follows.

City: So recording these shows for this new live album was kind of last minute?Nils Lofgren: I was doing a show last February in the UK. I’ve been going there since 1973 when I was on Neil Young’s “Tonight’s the Night Tour,” and on my own after that. And I was there with Greg Varlotta, who I’ve played with for 10 years, and it really was my wife, Amy — who has seen me for 20 years — who thought they were the best shows she’d ever seen me do.

Did you hear the potential right off?I really wasn’t aware of that or had an overview like that, and she implored us to record the last half of the tour for a possible live album. So we got a tape recorder in and we ran it each night for the last seven or eight shows. I was surprised when we got home: there was a great album there. The album runs like the show. It’s very authentic to what the show is. It’s a really nice snapshot of what I’ve been doing lately with Greg in my acoustic duo format. After a 26-month tour with The E Street Band, I came back to my own music, and there’s just an excitement and freshness when you don’t always do just one thing — I came back re-charged. First of all it was like how do you be a bandleader? It seems foreign for a while but it’s something I’ve done probably 70 percent of my 48 years on the road — I’ve been a band leader — so I’ve got a lot of experience and miles logged in. But more than the technical playing, it was just the joy and gratitude in the shows

that, maybe Amy noticed, that set them apart from my past shows.

You have quite a following in the UK.The British music scene is how I fell in love with rock ‘n’ roll. I was a classical accordion player and it was The Beatles and The Stones that got me off the accordion and into rock ‘n’ roll. And through them I discovered all of it: Stax, Volt, Motown, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Little Richard, all of that. So I owe them a debt of thanks and gratitude. And having people show up in these little towns all over after 40-plus years is a beautiful thing.

A lot of people view you as a sideman. Is that accurate?I’m very proud of the work I’ve done in a lot of bands: Neil Young, Ringo Starr, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band, Willie Nelson, Jerry Lee Lewis, Branford Marsalis, Cab Calloway. I’ve always been in bands. I don’t really feel like a sideman. You know, you have an instrument, it’s loud — there’s a powerful opportunity there to contribute something that makes the picture whole and allows you to touch an audience with music. And that’s a very sacred gift. I made an album years ago called “Sacred Weapon.” I was given a gift I didn’t ask for: to hear notes a certain way that led to a career. So sideman doesn’t ring true to me because that kinda indicates what you’re doing isn’t valuable or important, and nothing could be further from the truth when I’m in someone else’s band. Of course, when I’m playing with Neil Young or Bruce Springsteen, everyone’s staring at them and that’s understandable. But not for a second do I confuse that with a lack of importance.

Talk about your own sideman, Greg Varlotta.I needed someone to play keyboards and guitar and sing well. Not only did Greg do that, but he is an excellent trumpet player, trombone player, and tap dancer. I know it sounds weird but it works if you don’t overdo it. And we came up with a very powerful, colorful show, which I like to call heavy metal melodic acoustic. You want to move a lot of the low end. If you tap your guitar, you want it to be like a kick drum, not something thin. Greg and I have hit it off for 10 years and the shows keep getting better.

What’s Nils Lofgren’s legacy?I’m the only guitar player in history who has played with both Bart Simpson and Cab Calloway.

JAZZ | ETHNIC HERITAGE ENSEMBLE

When percussionist Kahil El’Zabar returned home to Chi-cago from a stint the University of Ghana in 1972 he had a new goal: fusing aspects of traditional African music with the music of Black America. The result was the Eth-nic Heritage Ensemble. El’Zabar has recorded and toured with Stevie Wonder and worked on the Broadway show, “The Lion King,” but he’s never left the EHE. When the ensemble plays at Lovin’ Cup, El’Zabar will be joined by legendary multi-reedist Hamiet Bluiett, who played with Charles Mingus and co-founded the World Saxophone Quartet, and the excellent trombonist Craig Harris.

JAZZ | HAROLD DANKO WITH RICH PERRY

Way back in 1980, pianist Harold Danko started a tradition: an annual (well, every four years) concert celebrating Leap Day. Beginning at the Jazz Gallery in New York, the concert moved to Birdland and the Five Spot in Manhattan before traveling to various venues in Rochester. For this year’s show, Danko will be joined by the formidable saxophonist Rich Perry with Clay Jenkins, trumpet; Charles Pillow, woodwinds; Jeff Campbell, bass; and Rich Thompson, drums, in a program of Danko tunes. Perry also guests with the Eastman Jazz Lab Band at Kilbourn on March 1.

Harold Danko and Rich Perry perform Monday, Febru-ary 29, at Kilbourn Hall, Eastman School of Music, 26 Gibbs Street. 8 p.m. $10. esm.rochester.edu. — BY RON NETSKY

“To Kill a Mockingbird” REVIEWED SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 21

CONTINUES THROUGH MARCH 20

WILSON MAINSTAGE, GEVA THEATRE

CENTER, 75 WOODBURY BOULEVARD

TICKETS START AT $25 | GEVATHEATRE.ORG

[ REVIEW ] BY LEAH STACY

When the artistic team at Geva Theatre Center selected Harper Lee’s 1960 novel, “To Kill a Mockingbird,” as part of the 2015-16 season, they couldn’t have known the lauded 90-year-old author would die the same weekend the show opened. Nor could they have foreseen the announcement this month that Aaron Sorkin is adapting the text for a 2016-17 Broadway opening. But as the saying goes, “everything happens for a reason.” After news of Lee’s death spread on Friday, Geva announced they would dedicate the production run to her memory. Saturday’s show sold out, and tickets will undoubtedly continue to go quickly throughout the month-long run. Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is set in 1930’s Maycomb County, Alabama, a few years after the Great Depression took hold of the United States. While it’s loosely autobiographical, Lee spent many years writing and editing a story that would best educate and serve her reader. The entire story is told through the eyes of Jean-Louise “Scout” Finch, who is 10 years old at the time of the novel’s plot. The book deals with racial injustice in small town, Deep South, pre-Civil Rights America.

Anytime a stage play is adapted from a beloved book (which, in this case, was also almost immediately followed by the equally-beloved 1962 film starring Gregory Peck), there are going to be some standards that simply can’t be met, for a variety of reasons: time, budget, and talent — the list goes on. This particular version of “Mockingbird” was adapted by Christopher Sergel, who spent 20 years revising it for the stage — and it’s surprisingly true to the original plot. At 17 people, the cast is sizeable, and there is some double casting due to the ages of the children in the story. (It should be noted that the children are Rochester residents, and casting for several of the show’s roles, including Mayella Ewell, was conducted locally.) On Sunday night, the role of “Scout” Finch was played by Alden Duserick, who has appeared on Geva’s stage several times before in “A Christmas Carol.” She’s a bright, adorable young actress with a genuine connection to the iconic character she portrays. Her brother, Sawyer Duserick, who has also appeared before on stage at Geva, plays the odd, mischievous “Dill” Harris, a role inspired by Lee’s real life, eccentric summertime neighbor Truman Capote. The Duserick siblings, paired with Nicholas Kinney (“Jem” Finch), are per-haps the most delightful part of the entire pro-duction, with their innocence, lilting Southern accents, and adventurous stage presence. Now, let’s get something out of the way before going any further: Geva Director of Education and Artist-in-Residence Skip Greer, who plays Atticus Finch in this production, is not Gregory Peck. Because of the close proximity of the 1960 novel and 1962 film,

it’s hard for many fans of “Mockingbird” to imagine anyone else as Atticus Finch. But even Gregory Peck, truly, was not Atticus Finch. If lovers of the classic movie are expecting to compare the Geva adaptation to the film, there will be some disappointment. Undoubtedly, Geva’s Artistic Director, Mark Cuddy, who directs the show, thought of this many times, but he delivers a fresh take on many elements of the well-known story. Given the context of Atticus Finch’s character, Greer performs the role truthfully and admirably. He has the patience, wisdom, and steely conviction of Finch. The ensemble is strong throughout the show, notably SUNY Brockport student Sallie Koenig (Mayella Ewell) and School of the Arts graduate Lorenzo Parnell (Tom Robinson), who give the most riveting performances in act two. Bridget Markusfeld, who essentially plays the narrator as Jean Louise Finch, has a hefty responsibility to keep the dialogue going, but she also spends a lot of time on stage. Her steady, conversational performance provides a welcome connection for the audience. Scenic and costume designer John Haldoupis took a bare stage of earthy col-ored, rotating panels and brilliantly dressed it with “tree trunks” constructed of a frothy fabric that resembles black tulle. The ceil-ing-high, drape-y trunks and silvery leaves invoke Spanish moss and dusky shadows of a Southern summer. Haldoupis also designed seamlessly mobile porches and stoop facades that roll on and off stage to represent the Finch, Radley, and DuBois homes. The sec-ond act opens with a courtroom, also mobile, complete with balcony so the children’s reac-tions can be observed during the entire trial scene. Lighting by Paul Hackenmueller mar-ries the elements, enhanced by Gregg Coffin’s original compositions. The masterful aesthetic of the show only stumbles in the area of Jean Louise Finch’s costume, which emulates boxy outfits worn by “professional working women” on 1980’s-era television shows. Since the character is almost constantly on stage, it’s a blasé choice. On the other end of the costume spectrum is the teen chorus, who appear a tad slovenly with baggy sweatshirts and wrinkly jeans. The culturally linked hoodie reference in act two, while well intentioned, feels a bit heavy-handed in this production. But having a contemporary teen chorus — all local students from School of the Arts — is a neat take on the story, and adds another dimension to narrator Jean Louise’s role. Geva has created an honest, compelling tribute to Lee’s classic story — a tribute that audience members of all ages can enjoy and discuss long after the curtain closes.

[ FEATURE ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

BOA Editions’ story began much like that of other creative endeavors: When an intrepid individual identified a lack of opportunity, he went out and created it himself. One of the longest running independent presses in the nation, BOA was founded on July 4, 1976 by Al Poulin Jr., who was a Brockport professor at the time as well as a poet and translator. BOA began small, and at 40 years, it remains a tiny operation. But the organization gives its diverse publications an international reach, has published some of the nation’s foremost poets, and its titles have received multitudes of awards and distinctions. “At a certain point, Al became aware that there just weren’t a lot of places to publish poetry collections,” says BOA Publisher Peter Conners. “There wasn’t a small press scene like there is now. And big publishing houses weren’t any more interested in poetry than they are today.” Poulin was friends with W.D. Snodgrass, who won a Pulitzer Prize for his first poetry collection, “The Heart’s Needle,” in 1960. After, Snodgrass “had written another collection, and he was having a hard time getting it published, even with a Pulitzer,” Conners says. Snodgrass’s book, “The Fuehrer Bunker: A Cycle of Poems in Progress” was BOA’s first publication, and made for a dramatic entrance into publishing. “The book had controversy around it, because it was what we call ‘persona poems’ — poems written in other people’s voices — and those people were German citizens or Nazi officials,” Conners says. “He basically wanted to look at World War II through the eyes of Germans from all different strata. So it freaked a lot of people out. But I think what Snodgrass wanted to do was say, ‘it happened before, it can happen again. These are people.’” Poulin ran the press out of his house on Main Street in Brockport, publishing a couple of books each year. In 1984, BOA published Carolyn Kizer’s “Yin,” which had been rejected by many other publishers, but ended up winning a Pulitzer for BOA. “With that recognition came additional grant opportunities, and expansion. Shortly thereafter, BOA moved into downtown Rochester. BOA moved to its current location on the third floor of the Anderson Arts Building in 2006. Just three staffers — publisher Peter Conners, Director of Development and Operations Melissa Hall, and Director of

Marketing and Production Jenna Fisher — are supported by a wider team of freelance designers, interns, and artists. Each year, BOA receives more than 1,000 submissions and publishes 10 to 12 books. Keeping the number small allows them to spend time and energy getting the books in front of reviewers’ eyes, Fisher says. Submitters vie for the A. Poulin, Jr. Poetry Prize, which is awarded to honor a poet’s first book; and BOA’s main poetry series, the American Poets Continuum Series, includes poets who have previously published books with BOA or with different presses. BOA is also committed to publishing translated poetry through its Lannan Translations Selections Series. “We really look for contemporary poets who haven’t been published in this country before,” Conners says. In 2007, BOA began publishing two books of fiction per year through the American Reader Series, and awarding the BOA Short Fiction Prize. “Ironically, I think there’s more places to publish poetry now than places to publish short fiction,” Conners says. “The short story collections tend to be quirky, they might have mystical elements, and they’re very language-oriented, as finely-crafted as the poetry.” Conners says that rather than defining a style for the press, and publishing poets who fit into that style, BOA looks across a range of aesthetics, and seeks poets who are doing their own best work. “This makes for a diverse catalog that can appeal to people from all different backgrounds,” Hall says. In 2003, BOA received a grant from the Arts Council to create their Electronic Virtual Arts Library, which is filled with images of work by Rochester-based artists, including Carol Acquilano, Richard Margolis, Jean Stephens, Colleen Buzzard, and Nancy Topolski. Authors are encouraged to select an image from the EVAL for their book cover art, the artist is compensated for the one-time use of the artwork, and gains exposure through the distribution of the book. “Approximately a third of all of our books’ cover art is chosen through this method,” Hall says.

BOA’s books are internationally distributed by Consortium Book Sales and Distribution, through many wholesale e-book distributors, and are also available for sale on their website. Part of the year-long celebration of BOA’s 40th year is interactive. “We’re asking, globally, ‘What’s your ideal reading experience?’” Fishers says. The public can learn how to participate by visiting boaeditions.org/boaturns40. An incentive for submitting a story is the chance to win a signed copy of the new chapbook by Li-Young Lee, who has published five books with BOA. And each month, BOA posts a new video to its site of an author responding to the same question. The University of Rochester recently ac-quired the press’s last decade of publishing ar-chives, and will hold a celebratory exhibition in Rush Rhees Library’s Friedlander Lobby from March through July 29. A celebratory kickoff for the exhibit will take place Wednesday, April 6, 5:30 to 7 p.m., with a group poetry reading followed by a light reception. This event is free and open to the public. The year-long celebration continues with more events held in New York City and Los Angeles, and with BOA’s annual Dine & Rhyme reading and dinner event, held here in Rochester. Details are still being finalized; watch boaeditions.org for more information.

Small operation, big impact

ART | JASON YUNGBLUTH: THE ART OF WEAPON BROWNAmong cartoonist Jason Yungbluth’s various comic series is “Weapon Brown,” which is set in a post-apocalyptic world that follows the Last War. The story follows a set of survivors and their hardscrabble life, and centers around Chuck, who has been transformed from a refugee into a cold-hearted, murderous cyborg-for-hire by the Syndicate. But when Chuck is offered a chance to give the world a fresh start, the hardened citizen must decide if he doesn’t prefer things exactly as they are. In a clever twist, each of the world-weary major characters are hardened versions of classic comic strip characters.

An opening reception and book signing for Jason Yungbluth’s “The Art of Weapon Brown” will precede the opening of stage production “Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead” on Friday, February 26, 6 p.m., at Bread & Water Theatre (172 West Main Street). The show is co-presented by J. Nevadomski and Bread & Water Theatre. A gallery after party will follow the performance. The show will remain on view through March 31. Admission to the art show is free. For hours and more information, call 538-9684, or visit breadandwatertheatre.org.

ART | CARL CHIARENZA PHOTOGRAPHY SHOWThrough March 18, the work of renowned photographer Carl Chiarenza will be highlighted in an exhibition at Rush Rhees Library (University of Rochester). “Carl Chiarenza: Photographs” features a sampling of his large-scale, abstract images, in singles and multiples. Chiarenza’s meditative, emotionally evocative dreamscapes are enlarged prints of tiny collages he sets up in his home studio and photographs. The grayscale works showcase the surface textures, patterns, and shapes of collected paper, foil, and other detritus he works with, and he injects each work with a sense of ephemera and noumena as carefully balanced as the fragmented light and dark. Each layered composition is interpreted through the lens of personal associations of each viewer.

The library’s hours are Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 3 a.m.; Friday, 8 a.m. to midnight; Saturday, 10 a.m. to midnight; and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 3 a.m. For more information, call 275-4461, or visit library.rochester.edu/node/36294.— BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

SPECIAL EVENT | THE HAPPIEST HOURThe Strong National Museum of Play will kick out the kids and open its doors to the 21-and-over crowd on Wednesday evening. The museum will host its second “Happiest Hour” on February 24, 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., with a cash bar featuring beers from Roc Brewing, snacks catered by Marshall Street Bar and Grill, and access to the museum, free of younglings. But since it’s still the Museum of Play, the idea is to take a fresh look at the exhibits, including the new “Hot Wheels” Race to Win” section. DJ Naps will provide music; there will be karaoke; and the museum has an obstacle course set up where groups can battle each other with foam darts. The Happiest Hour is a fundraiser for The Strong, and is organized by the organizations young professionals group, The Strong Play Makers.

The Happiest Hour takes place, Wednesday, February 24, at The Strong, One Manhattan Square. 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Must be 21 or older. Tickets are $15 and must be purchased in advance at museumofplay.org.— BY JAKE CLAPP

THEATER | “VANITIES”Vanities, vanities, all is vanities … even in the lives of three women during their friendship as 1960’s high school cheerleaders and over the ensuing decade as participants in and protesters of the Vietnam War and the feminist movement. Jack Heifner’s “Vanities” was a staple of community theaters for many years after its long Off-Broadway run in the 1970’s, and the Department of Theatre and Music Studies at SUNY Brockport brings it back for a run starting this weekend. Director Francis Kuhn calls “Vanities” a play “about friendship, as well as the unexpected challenges that friends can face,” and Heifner sums it up: “Your best friends from high school will always be your best friends from high school even if they aren’t your best friends for life.” Given the play’s intimacy — just three actresses and three dressing tables (or vanities) — it will be performed in the school’s Black Box Theatre.

“Vanities” will be performed Friday, February 26, through Sunday, March 6, at Tower Fine Arts Center Black Box Theatre, 180 Holley Street, Brockport. 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Fridays, and Saturdays; 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 5, and both Sundays.

“Son of Saul”(R), DIRECTED BY LÁSZLÓ NEMES

NOW PLAYING AT THE LITTLE AND

PITTSFORD CINEMAS

[ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

There have been plenty of films over the years that have attempted to tackle the subject of the Holocaust, but nothing quite like László Nemes’s gripping “Son of Saul.” Winner of the Grand Prix at last year’s Cannes Film Festival — where even securing a place in competition is a rare achievement for a first-time filmmaker like Nemes — “Son of Saul”

is also Hungary’s nominee for Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards, and the current odds-on favorite to win. “Son of Saul” is the story of Saul Ausländer (Géza Röhrig), an inmate of the Auschwitz concentration camp, where he’s part of the Sonderkommando — a group of prisoners kept alive in order to assist the SS with the maintenance and operation of their death camps. Where many Holocaust dramas are epic in scope, this film is frantic and claustrophobic. Filming in the square “academy ratio,” cinematographer Mátyás Erdély shoots entirely in medium close-ups and over-the-shoulder shots with shallow depth-of-field, keeping the focus almost entirely on where Saul’s

attention lies at that moment. The camera’s narrowed focus keeps the unspeakable horrors that Saul witnesses on the periphery of our vision; blurry abstractions that remain just on the edges of the frame, mimicking the blinkered existence of our protagonist. During the latest procession

of victims being shuttled through the extermination process, a young boy somehow manages to survive the gas chamber. Immediately, a Nazi “doctor” arrives to quickly and dispassionately finish the job, but not before the boy has succeeded in breaking through Saul’s barriers. Convinced that the child was his son, Saul suddenly has a renewed purpose, and the film follows his obsessive, single-minded quest to secure a proper Jewish burial for his son’s body, no matter what the cost. Nemes and his co-writer Clara Royer keep things ambiguous about whether or not the boy is actually Saul’s son; all that matters is that Saul believes it, as his actions put his own life in jeopardy and puts him at odds with his fellow prisoners, a number of whom are planning an uprising to overtake their captors. Each scene unfolds in unbroken, elaborately choreographed shots that capture the chaos of the camps. Rather than coming across as showy directorial flourishes, the technique provides us with a solid sense of space, immersing us completely in Saul’s existence. With the entire story resting on his shoulders, Röhrig delivers a haunted, unforgettable performance. Without the benefit of much dialogue, his performance relies almost entirely on his physicality to convey emotion. Röhrig’s face remains impassive, but his eyes make it clear exactly what effect the camp’s horrors — and his own

role in them — have had on Saul. It’s not a performance that asks for our sympathy, but the actor succeeds in drawing us in until we find ourselves invested in Saul’s quest toward some miniscule form of redemption. In order to get by, Saul has had to block everything out but his own survival, and that’s reflected in how Nemes and Erdély choose to shoot the film’s action. The film’s impeccable and shrewdly constructed sound design ensures that, though we’re mostly shielded from the more brutal images, we’re never numbed to them. The horrors remain indistinct and out of focus, but the terrible noise of the camp breaks through our senses, triggering our imaginations and ensuring that we can’t shield ourselves from the atrocities that surround Saul. The sound seems to come from everywhere, constantly threatening to overwhelm us. “Son of Saul” is intense, brutal, and frequently harrowing, but the filmmaking is electrifying. The immediacy transforms a staggeringly incomprehensible subject into a vivid, uniquely personal experience. Somber but never ponderous, Nemes’ film is grasping at something larger than an “experiential” Holocaust movie as he examines the methods a human being must resort to in an effort to survive unspeakable evil, and whether it’s ever possible to face such incomprehensible tragedy with one’s humanity intact.

After World War I, American homebuilders

turned to simpler architectural styles.

Gone were the towers and turrets of the

Victorian era, replaced by modest Craftsman

bungalows and Prairie style houses. The

American Foursquare, which can be found in

a variety of architectural styles, was probably

the most popular house form of the early

20th century. With a comfortable layout,

efficient use of space, and a symmetrical

shape—four rooms upstairs and four

downstairs—the American Foursquare was

constructed in rural areas as well as on city

lots throughout the country.

With its hipped roof, third story dormer,

and overhanging eaves, the house at 107

Amsterdam Road in North Winton Village is a

fine example of this typically American house

form. The exterior is classic white with black

trim and shutters. A pedimented front porch

borrowed from the Colonial Revival style

welcomes you in.

Inside this 1930 house you notice its stunning

original details —gleaming pine floors,

gumwood trim, and black and white tile in

the vestibule. A leaded glass door opens to

the living room—spacious enough to host a

large gathering or just a cozy place to spend

a quiet afternoon. An archway leads to the

equally spacious dining room—another great

entertaining space—with its French doors

that open to a deck and the patio. Beyond

the dining room the efficient well-equipped

kitchen overlooks the backyard, making it

a pleasant place for meal preparation. A

half bath, side entrance, and stairs to the

basement complete the first floor.

A stairway from the vestibule leads to the

house’s second floor where you find three

bedrooms all with gumwood trim, pine floors,

and ample closet space. While the bathroom

is updated, it retains its original laundry

chute and linen closet. Another stairway

leads to the finished third floor that could be

used as a fourth bedroom, office, or gym.

The basement houses the mechanics and

laundry as well as a workshop. Outside, the

low-maintenance backyard is fully fenced

and the garage has space for one car and

additional storage.

While this period house is close to the

modern shops and restaurants of Winton

and Culver Roads and the Winton Branch

Library of the Monroe County Library system,

the crown jewel of the neighborhood is

Tryon Park, 82 picturesque undeveloped

acres that are favorites of hikers, bikers, and

birders. And both the North Winton Village

Neighborhood Association and North East

Area Development, Inc. work diligently to

improve the quality of life for residents of the

North Winton Village neighborhood.

The 1,646 square foot house is listed at

$114,900 with taxes of $4,182. Call Elizabeth

Sarkis of Nothnagle Realtors at 585-317-

1731 for a tour.

AND COMPLAINT You are in danger of losing your home. If you fail to respond to the Summons and Complaint in this foreclosure action, you may lose your home. Please read the Summons and Complaint carefully. You should immediately contact an attorney or your local legal aid office to obtain advice on how to protect yourself. SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. In addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid, there are government agencies, and non-profit organizations that you may contact for information about possible options, including trying to work with your lender during this process. To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained by New York state Banking Department at 1-877-Bank-NYS or visit the Department’s website at www.banking.state.ny.us FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services. Section 1303 NOTICE YOU ARE IN DANGER OF LOSING YOUR HOME If you do not respond to this Summons and Complaint by serving the copy of the answer on the attorney for the mortgage company who filed this foreclosure proceeding against you and filing the answer with the court, a default judgment may be entered and you may lose your home. Speak to an attorney or go to the court where your case is pending for further information on how to answer the Summons and protect your property. Sending a payment to your mortgage company will not stop this foreclosure action. YOU MUST RESPOND BY SERVING A COPY OF THE ANSWER ON THE ATTORNEY FOR THE

PLAINTIFF (MORTGAGE COMPANY) AND FILING AN ANSWER WITH THE COURT. Stiene & Associates, P.C., Attorneys for the Plaintiff, 187 East Main Street, Huntington, NY 11743 201401376
