Trump is a symbol What is stunning to me is that so many in the media don’t recognize that Trump is nothing more than a symbol that we’re fed up with politics as usual. Even Trump with all his flaws is preferable to the same old garbage we keep receiving from career politicians. I see this election as a turning point for America, and hope that gradually we’ll move away from our present two-party system filled with self-serving hypocrites. Maybe this will ignite a revolution that will restore the glory to this once-great nation. Instead of being “general managers of the universe,” why don’t we focus our efforts, money, and manpower here at home? It’s time for men and women of all ages to stop putting up with today’s political nonsense and improve America as a nation, not an empire. DENNIS REGAN
Democrats are pro-poverty
CITY seems to have an irrational hatred of Trump and seems hell-bent on labeling him a racist. Trump’s approach to the invasion from the south has little to do with racism and a whole lot more to do with economics. The overwhelming reality is that you can’t raise wages when there is an oversupply of labor, especially if the illegals are willing to work outside of US laws on 2 CITY

wages. The left can wallow in ignorance all it wants, but the fact remains that the migrant influx has had a massive impact on wages in America and has driven down the standard of living for millions of Americans. It really appears that the goal of the Democrats is to make people so poor that they have to rely upon handouts from the government. This then gives those same Democrats the leverage that they need to legislate away even more of our freedoms. For somebody who grew up loving this country, it is heartbreaking to see the damage that has been done in the last eight years. The blaming Bush nonsense has gotten old and frankly just highlights the bushel of lies that has been tossed at us by Obama and his administration. So, why do I support Trump? Simple: the Democrats don’t deserve support and certainly, lies and fabrications aren’t helping. Trump is the overwhelming best choice to turn the government and the corrupt media upside down.

Leave the Loop
The Rose Fellowship’s recommendations to make our downtown the proud center of a dynamic region (News, March 23) emphasized the importance of reimagining Main Street to create a green pedestrian environment and on-street parking to promote retail. This would require narrowing the roadway to one way each direction. It’s important to realize that there are only two streets that cross the river downtown and continue on in each direction: the Inner Loop North and Main Street. I don’t think we should spend tens of thousands of dollars on a study to determine if the Inner Loop North
can be eliminated, when this consultant team with impressive credentials has told us that we will need to reduce Main Street capacity, which will result in an increase of traffic on the only other E-W through route. Replacing the Inner Loop North with surface streets would mean that users during peak times, which include school and transit buses, will face congestion at the six signal lights at major N-S arteries. Priorities are important! These can be reflected in a Master Plan for downtown; we don’t have one. A public infrastructure plan would recognize that it would be counterproductive to eliminate the Inner Loop North. RICHARD ROSEN
Uber good for government, bad for people
Uber: Another big company destroying local business with Big Government’s help. Uber and Lyft are not in the business of ride-sharing; at least not in the long run. Uber and Lyft are in the business of creating a leased, self-driving car service. Auto manufacturers are already aligning with them and the government is loosening regulations for them. Uber and Lyft might even weaken public transportation. The transition period appears to create jobs for the poor, but really allows local governments to clear out low-performing taxi services and to establish markets for ride-sharing. Once the taxi services are gone and selfdriving cars are available, expect Uber and Lyft to drop their drivers and start directly serving customers. This serves the interest of Big Government, which wants to deal with a few big national companies, rather than local business. It also creates vehicle manufacturing and maintenance jobs at regional
centers, allowing governments to compete in “buying” jobs with tax incentives. The end result will be the creation of the “Walmart” of taxi services and government control of mobility of the poor. It also allows for scaling back public transportation once personalized transportation services exist. You will see bus routes curtailed and a loss of good, unionized transportation jobs. The working poor will be shuttled in self-driving car pools to their workplaces and whisked home; out of site and out of mind. It will not create jobs or opportunity, but ensure that cheap transportation exists to let us further push the poor to outof-the-way neighborhoods. I predict in 20 years this paper will lament how much money the poor must pay for housing and how much they must pay for ride rental services to get to work. It will also wonder why the poor are still isolated in the same neighborhoods. But it will love the fact that government can shut down the self-driving cars in a state of emergency or when these same people come out in the street to protest or riot demanding change. Yes, Uber and Lyft are a benefit for government and for their investors. It will give the poor mobility, but at a price which I doubt is lower than public transportation. PAUL MYERS
Questions about CRCDS sale
Two questions regarding the recently announced sale of the Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School campus. Is it remotely feasible to develop in a responsible manner what is essentially the eastern flank of Highland Park, the jewel in the crown of Olmsted’s Monroe County Parks System? And, with 20/20 hindsight on the railroaded Charlotte marina project, what assurances can

Questions surround the coincidence of this announcement precisely one week after the Lilac Festival, while also choosing not to reveal the buyer’s identity. What exactly are the CRCDS trustees trying to hide? PAUL BROOKES
Slavery’s legacy always present
It’s frankly ludicrous to suggest that the legacy of slavery need not touch us (Feedback, May 11). It touches all of us every day; it continues to provide privilege to white people and deny that same privilege to black people. Look at Rochester today. Black people left the South for northern industrial centers in the early to mid1900’s to try to escape Jim Crow/the post-emancipation institutionalized racism of the South. This was followed by the flight of white people to the suburbs, and once the economy slowed, veritable ghettos in the northern city neighborhoods. How this happened is a very complex issue that owes much to the less-discussed institutionalized racism in the North. White people have the privilege to avoid thinking about these issues, or going to economically depressed and racially segregated areas of the city, leading many to believe that it’s not a pressing issue. While there may be other reasons not to change a name, it is shameful to pretend that names and symbols lack power. Not opening our eyes and examining these names and symbols is how we perpetuate the legacy of slavery, every day. ERINN

NO ONE CELEBRATES URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
Politics and COMIDA I wish this could be the start of something big. Some influential people are starting to push back against the power of the Monroe County Republican Party. Last week, four of the board members of COMIDA – the County of Monroe Industrial Development Agency – resigned in reaction to the scandal surrounding Republican Party Chair Bill Reilich’s meddling. The first was Realtor Mark Siwiec, who said the controversy could damage his own reputation and that of other board members. Next up: Theresa Mazzullo, an influential Conservative Party leader and businesswoman who chaired the COMIDA board; she said the controversy was affecting both the public’s confidence in COMIDA and her own reputation. Board members Clint Campbell and Eugene Caccamise followed suit. This all started when Reilich tried to attack the new county clerk, Adam Bello, a Democrat who had been Irondequoit’s town supervisor. But Reilich stupidly suggested that by resigning as supervisor, Bello had “abandoned” a popular new Irondequoit development, I-Square. The development, Reilich said, was having financial problems and was in default of a COMIDA agreement. COMIDA first issued a statement agreeing that the development was in default. But I-Square’s owners, Michael and Wendy Nolan, fought back, insisting that the project isn’t in financial trouble and isn’t in default of its COMIDA agreement. COMIDA has since sent the Nolans a letter saying they’re not in default. And while the board had first promised an investigation into the Reilich affair, it later said there’ll be no investigation. Case closed. The resignations have been a refreshing turn of events. At first, the COMIDA board members seemed content to keep quiet, presumably assuming that the fire would burn out quickly and that nobody cared. But somebody did care. Several somebodies. The Nolans have rallied public support, and they’re speaking out at COMIDA meetings. Democrats in the County Legislature are protesting. And the media are reporting on it all, putting the COMIDA board, County Exec Cheryl Dinolfo, and the Republican Party right where they should be: on the hot seat. When she resigned last week, Mazzullo issued a statement that sheds a bit more light. Technically, she said, I-Square was in default of a portion of the COMIDA agreement, but that technicality “happens routinely” in developments, she said, and the agency and the COMIDA recipients just get together and work it out. Unless, of course, the Republican Party chair decides that there’s political hay to be made.
Reilich’s partisan meddling taints his party, COMIDA and its board, and every business that receives benefits from COMIDA.” Republicans have weathered this kind of scandal before. And presumably, once the news over the resignations dies down and new (presumably compliant) board members are appointed, that’ll be it. Dinolfo apologized yesterday, promised to announce new safeguards, and said she won’t tolerate this kind of behavior. So: no big deal. Back to business as usual. But it is a big deal, a very big deal, when the head of a political party injects himself into the workings of an important agency that is supposed to be nonpartisan. It taints the political party, of course, but more important, it taints COMIDA and the people who give their time as board members. COMIDA is supposed to benefit the public. If there’s any hint that a political leader is involved in its decisions – influences its actions in any way – that undermines the public’s trust. And it taints not only COMIDA, its staff, and its board, but also every business that it helps. If the head of a political party is involved, the public can’t trust that the businesses get their benefits fairly – without fear or favor, to borrow the New York Times motto. The four resignations are important. But even if the remaining members – Ann Burr, Jay Popli, and Mary Worboys-Turner – do the same (which they should), the story will end there. No one will conduct an investigation, because the county executive, the legislature, and the Republican Party don’t want the public to know more. That’s the real scandal. And it didn’t start, and it won’t end, with COMIDA.

Three Heads Brewing plans to unveil a Freddy D lager in honor of Frederick Douglass. But Douglass saw alcohol as a way for white masters to control slaves. PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLIN
“In order to make a man a slave, it is necessary to silence or drown his mind,” Douglass said in a March 1846 speech given in Paisley, Scotland. Despite Douglass’s sentiments, Three Heads Brewing plans to unveil a Freddy D lager sometime after its new brewery and tasting room opens on Atlantic Avenue in Rochester’s Neighborhood of the Arts in about a month. A post announcing the new lager on the company’s Facebook page features an image of Douglass under a red banner, “Freddy D Lager.” Reactions in the comments range from excitement over the new beer to disappointment in Three Heads’ use of the name despite Douglass’s condemnation of spirits. One writer suggests that a nonalcoholic brew might be a better choice.
Dan Nothnagle, president of Three Heads Brewing, says that the beer might give a boost to the Douglass name and prompt discussion about this important man and his work. And no one knows how Douglass would feel about alcohol if he were alive today, Nothnagle says. “I think times have changed a lot,” he says. “And whether slave masters used alcohol as a way to calm people or to belittle slaves back then, I think society in general accepts alcohol now.” Fittingly, Nothnagle says, Freddy D will be made with Liberty hops. Three Heads has given some of its other beers names with local significance, too, including the Cobbs Hill Black Lager. Freddy D Lager will be available at the brewery, Nothnagle says, and throughout Western New York in bottles and on draft.

The Rochester school board is reviewing a proposed new Code of Conduct policy that would require a major shift in how teachers and students interact in city schools. The proposed policy is much less punitive that the current one. But it faces a major hurdle: the opposition of teachers and principals. The Rochester Teachers Association says it does not support the new policy in its current form. “The Rochester City School District proposes to adopt a new Code of Conduct without providing, or adequately budgeting for, the extensive services, resources, supports and alternative settings that our students need and that serious, positive change in schools’ climate would require,” says a resolution approved by the RTA. The RTA says that teachers wholeheartedly support the spirit of the policy, but the resolution is about having the resources and budget to properly implement it, which are not in place. And it says that even though suspensions are down, classroom disruption and assaults on teachers are rising. A letter to the school board from the Association of Supervisors and Administrators of Rochester, which represents principals, supervisors, and administrators, shares similar concerns. The new policy aims to sharply reduce the use of suspensions and makes a seismic shift toward restorative justice practices. The Rochester school district, like many large school districts, has a history of high suspension rates. And research shows that nationally, black males receive disproportionately harsher punishment.
GOOD FRIENDS, GOOD FOOD, GOOD GRILLING
CELEBRATE!
It’s a common problem on college campuses: When live-in students leave at the end of the year, they ditch large amounts of stuff. They throw away piles of clothing, pounds of perfectly good food, and they abandon furniture in hallways, at the curb, or by the trash. Much of it ends up in a landfill, with the schools footing the cost. But things work a little differently at Rochester Institute of Technology. For the second year, students led an effort to collect pretty much anything reusable and store it until the end of summer, when students come back to the dorms and apartments. Then they put the stuff up for sale; this year’s sale is August 16-20 in the school’s Clark Gym. (Weapons, drug paraphernalia, unidentified liquids or powders, and underwear are excluded.) The effort is known as Goodbye, Goodbuy! and the point is to divert waste from landfills, says Erica Hickey, the group’s media liaison. RIT is one of the largest universities in the country to do this sort of sale and collection project, she says. “We have over 18,000 students on campus, so it’s a lot of waste,” Hickey says. “There definitely is a need for the program.” Last year, Goodbye, Goodbuy! volunteers

HISTORY | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
Kent State survivor remembers a turbulent time Ohio’s Kent State University was a tinderbox during the last week of April in 1970. Thomas Grace, author of “Kent State — Death and Dissent in the Long Sixties,” was a sophomore at KSU at the time. A series of events heightened student opposition to the Vietnam War, which escalated with President Richard Nixon’s decision to invade Cambodia, he says. Grace describes it as the “last straw” that sparked a tsunami of antiwar protests across the US, including at KSU. When B-52’s dropped more than 700 tons of bombs on southeast Cambodia on May 1, 1970, it was clear that the war was expanding. The National Guard arrived at KSU during a tense weekend of student protests. Then the protestors set the campus’s ROTC building ablaze. But what happened on Monday, May 4, 1970, preserved forever in an iconic photo by photojournalism student John Paul Filo, stunned the nation. Though the National Guard’s presence was meant to quell the protesters, it actually drew more students in, Grace writes. “By noon, thousands of people — students, professors, three hundred active protesters, and curious onlookers — had filled the natural amphitheater,” he writes. “The Commons was the crossroads of the campus, and some were merely passing Thomas Grace, a student at Kent State University in 1970, was wounded in the May 4 shootings.

such as KSU were spoiled brats bent on destruction: an idea promoted by many prominent politicians, Grace says. “The Vietnam War by 1970 was extremely unpopular,” he says. “At the same time, the protesters were equally unpopular because students were often perceived as privileged individuals who had the opportunity to go to college while other people had to work for a living.” But most of the students at KSU were not from upper-income households, Grace says. Many were the first members of their working- class Ohio families to go to college, and many had to work part-time and during the summer months to pay their tuition, he says. College enrollment was also viewed by many as merely a way to dodge military service, Grace says. But most draft-age young men were acutely aware of the war, regardless of whether they were in college, he says. Grace tells the story of Donald Angerman. Angerman was in college and reasoned that the war would still be going on by the time he graduated, so he decided to enlist and satisfy his military obligation after his sophomore year. Then when he left the service he could use his education benefits to finish college. “He had an M60 machine gun he named Lucy, but he wasn’t in Vietnam long before he realized he had made a terrible mistake,” Grace says. “He wished more than anything that he could go home. But on April 27, 1968, he was out on patrol and either a grenade fragment or a rifle-shot from a sniper ricocheted off his machine gun and struck him in the head, killing him instantly.” Grace says that Angerman’s loss was obviously felt by his family, but was also how KSU students experienced the war: through the deaths of brothers, friends, and fellow students. A lot of people were surprised by the shooting at Kent State, and Grace says that the great lesson is that they shouldn’t have been. Angerman’s death exemplified that the protests were about more than ideology and free speech, he says. “For a lot of students at Kent State, that’s what the war was,” Grace says. “It was not abstract. It was not something that some other group of people was fighting and the students at Kent were immune to. It was a very felt experience and more than anything else, that’s what turned the students against the war in Vietnam.”

BLAND LANDING Removal of art from the Rochester airport causes turbulence and a call for a city-county public art committee
Advertising has bumped Richard Margolis' installation of photographs at the airport. PHOTO BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
[ CULTURE ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
W
hen the Greater Rochester International Airport was renovated in the 1980’s, there was a push to have major works by local artists installed there. The new design, in fact, was created with art in mind, and spaces were reserved for site-specific work. This was following a national trend; airports were becoming the sites of important collections of art. The artwork helps form a traveler’s first impressions of a region, and it offers a welcome distraction from the hassle of traveling and predeparture downtime. County politics, though, messed with the plans to install the art in the regional gateway, and a bitter battle picked up between a group of art enthusiasts and local politicians. Ultimately, the art was installed — only for it to be removed piece by piece over the next 25 years. An installation of 10 six-foot-tall Richard Margolis.

town. He was also one of the most entrenched members of the decade-long effort to save the historic Hojack Swing Bridge — the campaign failed, and the bridge was removed in 2012. Margolis’s current petition calls for three main actions: for Monroe County to restore the removed airport public arts projects; for the formation of a city-county public art commission that would plan and coordinate art in public spaces across the county; and for one percent of all future construction funds to be dedicated to the commission and installation of public art in Rochester and Monroe County. It’s important for the airport to have local art, Margolis says. It provides a sense of who
Rochesterians are, and what sets the city apart from everywhere else. “The airport feels like a mall,” he says. “There’s practically nothing that isn’t franchised there ... nothing that you can’t find anywhere else.” Margolis’s 10 images were installed in 1994 in two groups facing one another from walls on either side of the airport’s long lower level. The photographs would slowly come into view as you took the languid trip down the escalators. Or possibly, they would get those rushing down the stairs to pause on the way to the baggage claim area, which is located in the center of that space. The tall, window-shaped scenes greeted newcomers and welcomed locals home. Half of the photographs had already been displaced from their original spot about five
years ago by the addition of a veterans display area on the west side of the lower level. Those five images were moved upstairs, to a wall directly above the other five. Though the move disrupted his original intent for the work, Margolis says he was content with it. When that new spot was claimed for ad space, the five photographs were moved once more, this time to the sides of support columns just outside of a lounge area. “They didn’t inform me of that ahead of time,” Margolis says. He found out while picking his wife up at the airport about a year ago. When the other five, still on the original lower level wall, were bumped last December by large advertising banners, Margolis was notified via a letter. The letter, from Deputy County Attorney Don Crumb, stated that the images needed to be removed to “pursue an avenue of advertising revenue.” A gigantic banner ad for the University of Rochester is hanging there now. Margolis toured the airport with GRIA Assistant Director Jennifer Hanrahan, to explore proposed spaces for the prints’ placement, but none were satisfactory. “They could have scattered prints all throughout the airport,” he says. “But they don’t work that way; the prints relate to one another.” Even the offered spot where they could have hung together wasn’t a good option, he says. That proposal would have the photos tucked away in a tight corner of a lounge, far

from main airport traffic. In January, another letter informed Margolis that the photos would be placed in storage. At that point, he elected to have the other five prints placed in storage as well. “We respected his wishes” in taking down the set of prints, says Michael Giardino, GRIA director of aviation. “We didn’t have to; I could have kept it up, and I could put it up tomorrow if I wanted to. But he doesn’t want it displayed, and we complied with his requests. We tried to work on a location, but just didn’t come to a satisfactory conclusion.” While a major factor in the art supporters’ discontent is that the site-specific nature of the work has been brushed aside, they say this
is about more than a handful of individual artworks. The bigger picture considers the entire visual impact of the airport — which isn’t great — and the sense of place the building projects. “There’s almost nothing in the airport that speaks of what we are,” says Roslyn Goldman, who with a few others spearheaded the fight to have the art installed. We could be giving travelers an impression of the Finger Lakes wineries, Garth Fagan Dance, the Eastman School of Music, and our history during the Civil Rights and Suffrage movements, and the Olmsted Parks system, she says. Rochester is focused on ways to assuage economic decline, says Joni Monroe, an architect and artist involved with the original selection of the airport art. “They’re sort of clinging to the dock all of the time. But if this was a more pleasant airport, and it announced the natural and artistic riches of this community, people might come back; it might be a destination.” There’s an understandable frustration in their tone when they talk about the airport: they dedicated thousands of hours toward having some sense of the region’s culture installed in the first place. When the airport terminal was redesigned in
the late 1980’s, the architects factored in space for major works of public art by local artists, which would be paid for as part of the $109 million renovation of the airport ($400,000 was specifically set aside for art). The renovations were funded primarily by the contracted airlines,
through fees and rent, and no county dollars went into funding the public art commissions. Still, there were early signs of opposition from the county: the Legislature approved the first art contract — which allotted $230,000 of that $400,000 for the commissioned pieces — by only one vote. After a juried competition, two Rochesterbased artists were commissioned to create their site-specific designs. Wendell Castle’s “Lunar Eclipse” clock tower made of bronze, bubinga wood, and steel was installed in the main concourse just past security in 1992. And Bill Stewart’s “The Council,” an installation of five 10-foot-tall ceramic figures in a pool, was installed in the east rotunda in 1994. Round two of commissions had the remaining $170,000 to work with, but the contract would need to be approved first. The projects of four artists were selected from among 27 proposals in November 1991 by an art committee headed by Goldman. Though the cost of the art was built into the county’s contracts with the airlines — a decision made under former Monroe County Executive Tom Frey — the Legislature in December 1991 decided not to take a vote on whether to approve the contract for Phase II of the art commissions. Monroe County Conservative Party Chairman Tom Cook took up a frankly baffling fight against
the art contract. In a Times-Union article from December 6, 1991, Cook said that though the airlines were footing the bill for the art, the fee
would be passed on to the public through ticket price hikes — but David Shipley, then USAir VP of public relations, said in a follow-up Democrat and Chronicle editorial that the cost of airport art has “no measurable impact” on ticket prices. Shipley also noted that Rochester was the only community that has tried to block airport art. To put this in perspective, $170,000 for the remaining artworks would have amounted to less than one-sixth of one percent of the airport’s renovation costs — the original $400,000 was already much less than the typical one percent of construction costs mandated for art by ordinances in other cities and counties. Cook came under criticism when he said the airport art issue would be one key vote that his party would evaluate when making endorsements for the following year’s election — when all 29 Legislature seats were up for vote. “The Conservative endorsement can be especially important for suburban Democrats, who often face uphill battles in the GOPdominated suburbs,” wrote Blair Claflin in a Times-Union article dated December 18, 1991. A D&C piece reported that Legislator Irene Gossin, who did not seek re-election, used her farewell speech to compare Cook to Hitler and US Senator Jesse Helms, who were notorious for their anti-art stances. City Newspaper reached out to Cook for this article to ask for his reflections on the time period. He says he doesn’t recall claiming that the art costs would have an effect on ticket prices. continues on page 10 rochestercitynewspaper.com

“That seems kind of bizarre to me,” he says. The controversy took place about 25 years ago, and Cook has seen many matters in his tenure that he’s regarded as more pressing than the art. He remembers the issue differently, and says his party was concerned that funds for the artists were coming from the public. “I don’t think it’s an important issue,” Cook says. “Common sense would say, if I’m going to fly to New York City, I’m not going to go half an hour early so I can look at Wendell Castle’s something. The general person in Monroe County doesn’t go to the airport to look at art.” Before the Phase II vote, Democratic Legislator Frederick Amato of the public works committee said he was uncertain if he would support the contract, expressing caution about adding financial pressure on airlines in a time when some of them were going out of business.

This sentiment was echoed by others who said that if airlines went bankrupt, the county would be stuck with the bill. But it’s not like the airlines were going to be saving the money that wasn’t spent on art — in a newsletter released by the Monroe County Conservative Party called “Cook’s Comments,” the chairman said that the money could be put to more utilitarian use, for additional security screening devices, more lounge seating, and more parking space. Cook said he wasn’t opposed to the presence of art in the airport, and proposed a revolving display of amateur work, an idea echoed by the Monroe County Executiveelect, Bob King, who suggested a rotation of work by area high school and college students. Goldman and others criticized this idea as parochial, and said that it was counter to the goal of representing the best of Rochester’s culture. An editorial in Rochester Business Journal recommended that the contracts be approved, and people wrote loads of letters to various publications in support of the art. Despite lobbying efforts by art advocates, the Legislature’s decline to vote negated the contract. The art advocates didn’t relent: they shifted their focus to funding, and spent 18 months gathering donations from private donors. An anonymous benefactor pledged half of the necessary funds early on, and after two years, the group raised $186,000 to fund the art, which was then gifted to the airport. Peter McGrain’s “The Monument,” a shimmering, nearly 100-foot work of vivid dichroic glass, was installed in a wall of the observation area in 1992. In 1994, Margolis’s “Rochester Landmarks Photographs” were installed in the lower level of the terminal. Nancy Jurs’ monumental ceramic sculpture, “Triad: Gateway to Rochester,” was erected in the Concourse B rotunda. And Ruth Manning’s “Bus Transfer by the Dixie Wig” tapestry, made of hand-dyed yarns and depicting a metro Rochester scene, was installed on a wall in the lower level. A fifth commission was added in 1995: Susan Ferrari Rowley’s “Airborne Stabile,” a steel and handmade fiber sculpture, was installed in the stairway of the parking garage. Today, only two of the seven commissions remain, the rest removed in waves of reconstruction and encroaching advertisements.
In 2005 — a little more than a decade after the first wave of airport art was installed — the hard-won artwork greeting travelers began vanishing. Castle’s “Lunar Eclipse” was removed during renovations that included a larger screening area to meet increased security measures after September 11, 2001. “9/11 changed everything around here,” says Michael Giardino. There are TSA-mandated elements that are out of administration’s control. In particular, changes to security altered the entire center of the terminal building dramatically, he says. David Damelio, who was acting airport director at the time, indicated that Castle’s work would be reinstalled close to its original spot after renovations were finished — and in fact, claimed that even more art, including a newly acquired Ramon Santiago painting, would be displayed at the airport. Damelio was later fired for misuse of funds. But in 2008, Castle’s piece was replaced by the “Clock of Nations” from the recently closed Midtown Plaza. This was meant to be a temporary stay; the Midtown clock was supposed to be relocated to the Golisano Children’s Hospital in 2012, but hospital officials decided not to take it. Castle’s clock remains in storage. When asked if there were plans for the clock to return to its place — which would mean relocating the Midtown clock — airport representatives got defensive. The art is the property of the Monroe County Airport Authority, Giardino says. “These were commissioned pieces that the artists were paid for.” The contracts gifted the art to the airport, “and according to the contracts, the Authority has the right to do what it wants.” Nancy Jurs was caught by surprise in 2006, when she met with airport officials to discuss restoring the worn platform of her sculptures. She was instead informed that her sculpture was to be removed to make room for a larger business center, to replace the small one previously located near the food court. The new Frontier Communications facility — which came after a survey by the airport found that 65 percent of its travelers were business people — is enclosed by a large frosted-glass circle. Jurs was offered an alternative site for her work: outside, between the parking garage and Brooks Avenue. But because the sculptures couldn’t withstand the Rochester weather, Jurs offered to redesign them for an outdoor site, but she says she wasn’t enthusiastic with the placement offer. “They were made to be a gathering center,” Jurs says, “specifically designed for the rotunda.” Jurs says that about five years ago, the airport director at the time, Susan Walsh, was ready to give Jurs’ work back to her, so that she could install it elsewhere in Rochester. While waiting to hear back from Maggie Brooks, Walsh was arrested for a DWI and removed from her station. Jurs’ sculptures remain in storage. Ruth Manning’s tapestry was removed in 2006 for unspecified reasons. Goldman says that she spotted it in the lobby of the airport administration offices, out of public view. Going by the section on “art and culture exhibits” on
the airport’s website, an out-of-towner might assume that the commissioned works are still displayed in the airport. They’d find a different picture upon arrival. There are abundant advertisements for the University of Rochester, jewelry, and car dealerships; there’s a display center showcasing a collection of US Presidential Letters; old-timey airplanes suspended from above; and some of the
119 regrettable “Benches on Parade” — which was a great charitable cause, but the medium is an eyesore and much of the art forgettable. McGrain’s window remains, and will probably stay. “They can’t sell that space,” Margolis says. The art is important to the Airport Authority, Giardino says. “But we strike a balance, because we have to pay for the airport as well. We have not only federal mandates, but we are an independent authority and no tax dollars go into running this place.” The primary source of revenue is the airlines themselves, but that’s only 50 percent of what it takes to operate the airport, he says. The other sources, called “non-aeronautical revenue,” include revenue from parking, advertising, concessions, and other leasing and rents. GRIA is a “cultural place, but it’s also touted as an economic driver, and has an economic impact,” Giardino says. “When an advertiser — a local advertiser especially — is coming into the building and we’ve had two of the major employers in this county advertising, I think it also displays the economic viability of the area. But it’s a balance. I think they’re both important, but one just happens to generate revenue, which pays for utilities, salaries, and equipment, and the operations here.” That keeps “the costs low for the airlines, and hopefully keeps the costs low for the traveling public.” Airport representatives argue that the ads boost local businesses, but this seems to create a false dichotomy between art and business. Art is also an industry. The airport art serves not only as an advertisement for our region’s rich culture of working artists, but also for the individual artists’ small businesses. And when they get work, money goes to the firms that supply their materials, to contractors who help with creation and installation, and so on. “I don’t mean that the budget is unimportant,” Margolis says. But it’s also important to consider the value that the impression of art in the airport makes. Elsewhere, airport art collections aren’t treated
as a minor concern. Many of the collections were grown from money mandated by “percent for art” laws, under which anywhere from one-half to one-and-a-half percent of every public construction budget must be set aside to purchase art. Depending on the size of the project, this frees up sums for art that can rival museum acquisition funding. In 1991, when Rochester was in the middle of its battle over airport art contracts, the new Denver International Airport, which opened in 1993, had $6.5 million set aside of the original $2.3 billion construction cost for purchasing sculptures, murals, and installations, and now boasts one of the most extensive airport art programs in the world. There are numerous examples, nationally and internationally: Albuquerque International Airport showcases New Mexico’s contemporary art and traditional crafts with a display of
93 pieces by 82 state artists; Anchorage International Airport (which serves only about 2 million more passengers annually than GRIA does) has 100 Alaskan Native artworks on display; and San Francisco International Airport not only has a permanent collection, but an exhibition series. Similar programs can be found in the airports of Seattle, Phoenix, and Las Vegas. But not every airport art collection is funded by construction projects. Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport is filled with murals, sculptures, paintings, and exhibits, which are all supported by Chicago’s world-renowned Public Art Program, which exhibits several hundreds of works of art in more than 150 municipal facilities around the city, such as police stations, libraries, and CTA stations. The second point on Margolis’s petition calls for the formation of such a public art program, with a similar vision for more than the airport environment. This committee could not only coordinate funding for an exhibition series at the airport, Goldman says, but also direct money for maintenance and conservation programs for the permanent art collection, and oversee public art installations elsewhere in Rochester. The argument can be made that some of these other airports are larger than GRIA — Denver International serves about 50 million passengers annually to GRIA’s roughly 2.5 million — and have more resources that can be dedicated to funding art. We’ve had challenges getting the art funded, sure, but the biggest challenge seems to be locating spaces for the already available art that make both the airport and the artists happy. The petition also appeals to the office of County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo for support in these issues. The county’s webpage lauds the community of artists that partially defines this region. City Newspaper contacted Dinolfo’s office for a statement, but did not receive a response. After the short-sighted destruction of Rochester’s beautiful Claude Bragdon-designed train station in the 1960’s — that was replaced with a seriously diminished version — the airport has been the principal gateway that could give travelers a sense of the local culture. Many business and community leaders promote Rochester as an arts city, part of an arts-rich region. One more potential hiccup on the horizon is that the actual structure of the airport may change again in the coming years. Governor Andrew Cuomo’s administration announced in January a $200 million Upstate competition to revitalize the region’s airports. If selected, the Rochester airport could undergo structural changes once more.

OSB Ciderworks is a family affair. When Elise Smith Barnard and her brother Eric Smith founded the cidery, they named the business Original Stump Blower after a family joke involving their father's preferred place to hide booze. PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLIN

It all began with an old stump in the backyard. That’s where Elise Smith Barnard and Eric Smith’s father and late uncle used to hide their homemade hard cider from their wives. The phrase “let’s go blow up some stumps” became code for backyard swilling, because the cider was so strong. Decades later, Barnard and Smith are using the family tale as the inspiration for their hard cidery on Conesus Lake, Original Stump Blower Ciderworks. The idea came to Smith a few years ago as he was drinking a mass-produced, bottled cider. “Our dad and uncle were making better cider,” he says. “I’d been wanting to start a brewery for a few years at that point, but then those started popping up everywhere and it seemed like the market was saturated. So I thought, ‘Why not start a cidery?’”
Smith did some research and discovered there were less than 50 hard cider producers in New York State in 2014 (by the time they had paperwork in hand a year later, OSB was number 66). Meanwhile, his younger sister, Barnard, was living in San Diego — but her brother’s pitch for her to move back and become the CEO of Lakeville’s first hard cidery intrigued her. “I wanted Elise to be part of this because of her artistic background,” Smith says. “It’s something I can’t do. I can make the cider, but Elise was the best person for everything else — so I talked her into moving back from California, and she fell for it.” Barnard laughs at what her brother says, and it’s clear the two have a familiar back-andforth when it comes to this story. “I did; he tricked me,” she says. “I’m doing everything except for actually making the cider.” Barnard signed for ownership of the company the day before her 30th birthday on May 12, 2015. The past year has been a crash course in everything from liquor laws and trademark battles (OSB’s original branding was too close to a similarly-named business out west) to marketing and labor laws. “When you start a business, it’s not like they give you a welcome packet,” Barnard says. “It can be overwhelming, but you figure it out and make it happen.”
As both a female and sole owner of a hard cidery, Barnard is a rarity in New York State. (The next closest female owner is Melanie Collins at Cider Creek Hard Cider in Canisteo.) But Barnard says that “being a female business owner isn’t always sunny.” People always assume that she is eligible for grants, but grants often require time (which many small business owners don’t have) and a proven success rate before they’re given. Fortunately, the proximity to the Finger Lakes wine region has provided resources like cider classes and events at Cornell University, and Smith specifically mentions the highquality tanks and hardware they purchased from Vance Manufacturing in Geneva (which also supplies area wineries). “We’re trying to do local whenever we can,” Barnard says. They used reclaimed wood to fashion the cidery’s bar for $500, and found 9-foot-tall vintage church doors inside an old barn in Bergen. The tasting room glassware is from Fairport, and Tiny Fish is printing a giant decal for the cidery wall, along with some stickers. Barnard’s brother-in-law owns a T-shirt shop in Batavia, and he’s printing all of their apparel. EvenOdd Creative will sell tote bags in the gift shop, and the duo’s brother, Corning-based glassblower Elijiah Smith, handcrafted glass apples to sell as well.
In addition to opening the cidery, Barnard is working as a bartender at Restaurant Good Luck in Rochester and recently competed in a nationwide speed bartending competition. Smith, who is 37 years old, is a Culinary Institute of America graduate who spent time as a chef at the New York Wine and Culinary Center and 2Vine for almost a decade. During his time at NYWCC, he met a lot of winemakers and decided he wanted to go into the beverage industry eventually. He makes the cider with the help of OSB’s only other employee, Mark “Professor” Havens. “He’s my ‘cider Walter White’ because he actually knows the chemistry behind the process,” Smith says. The cider ingredients are sourced locally: the apples are all from Cahoon Farms in Wolcott, and the Concord grapes come from Empire Growers downstate. Currently, OSB is developing four distinct types of cider: the Original, the Little Lakes, the Ginger Citrus, and a rotating Flavor Profile (including a blackberry-blueberry concoction). The Original (11 percent ABV) is barrel-aged in Black Button Distilling whiskey barrels, and the Ginger Citrus is stored in gin barrels Joe Fee aged his orange bitters in for a year. Last year, the business made 200 test gallons of cider, and the favorite so far has been the Little Lakes (6.9 percent ABV) — a nod to Conesus Lake’s status as the “pinky finger” of the Finger Lakes. (OSB is on the north end of the lake, near Vitale Park.) Although Smith lives in Lakeville and Barnard lives in Rochester, they’re both natives of rural Wayland, where their parents still operate a catering company, a chicken barbecue business, and a pizzeria. “We come from a long line of people who do things for themselves,” Barnard says, “and we see the blood, sweat, and tears that goes into everyone’s endeavors and how supportive everyone is of one another.” Barnard adds that they’ve also funded the cidery venture completely through her savings and zero-percent interest credit cards. “We didn’t Kickstart or crowdfund or take out a loan,” she said. ““It’s a DIY business, and I’m very proud of that.” OSB Ciderworks will have a grand opening celebration Memorial Day weekend — almost a year to the day Barnard signed the paperwork — with live music from Amanda Lee Peers, Kody Tagg, and The Bloodroots.

seethes. The burn starts at the front where Marissa Paternoster sings with one hell of a powerful voice all the while punching in her searing guitar breaks. Spin Magazine voted her the 77th greatest guitarist of all time in 2012 — she beat out Vernon Reid, by the way. The band gives it all to the point of collapse as the music ebbs and flows with a vintage punk twinge and indie smarts. Aye Nako, Green Dreams, Cantelope, and Honeytomb will also play. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

The goal of those who pursue their dreams is to eventually reach that magical destination. Hiphop trio The Achievers takes important steps on its journey with the debut EP, “Yellow Brick Road.” Produced by Joi “Stewdiopheen” Wynn, the five songs are a collaboration between local artists who each, like characters in “The Wiz,” exude a irreplaceable vibe: Vicke Vyto likes word play; JBain DaStar brings a party; and Ashley Nicole is there to smooth things over among the two rappers. “Yellow Brick Road” is as much a statement of the way the trio clicks together as it is a showcase for each individual’s skills. Over straight-forward synthesized beats, vocal processing, and a few live instruments to keep it fresh, each Achiever has a signature song, and there’s a couple of tunes featuring all three taking turns on the microphone, like on the robust opener “Only Room for One.” Other tracks, like “Mirror Mirror,” include divine vocal arrangements, and “Me & I” is built around the chords of a percussive organ. Overall, “Yellow Brick Road” is a dope debut. It would just be spiteful to dislike The Achievers. — BY ROMAN DIVEZUR

Secret Pizza “Nothing Needs to Happen” Self-released secretpizza.bandcamp.com
Within the first minute or so of the opening track on “Nothing Needs to Happen,” Secret Pizza’s debut fulllength album, you get a hint that this record is going to be something different. From the snarly guitar riff to the male-female vocal interplay, this record — and yes, it’s being released on vinyl — is a thoughtful eight-song collection from a darn good band. Secret Pizza doesn’t meander around too long searching for a musical identity on “Nothing Needs to Happen.” The band locks in and lets the tunes flow — and a few, like “Oh My My,” are just baptized in cool. Guitarist Phil Shaw and drummer Giana Caliolo share the microphone duties while the quartet creates a sweet garage-punk and shoegaze experience. If the band wonders what it should do next, I say keep it steady; “Nothing Needs to Happen” shows what Secret Pizza can become. This is a sharp indie rock album, created by a group that wants to do things the right way. — BY ROMAN DIVEZUR

Music write songs for the band, I sit down with an acoustic guitar and I keep a lot of the story telling aspects of folk involved in it. Sometimes, like recording in a studio, it can cross the line and become folkrock, or indie rock, or alternative music. What is the most important component in folk?
I definitely think it’s the lyrics. I’m a big fan of Dave Van Ronk, and he said the initial meaning of folk is just songs passed on from generation to generation. But a lot of these songs have been passed down for so long that they started out as one thing and have turned into something completely different. Does recording a song arrest this progression or change?
Oh yeah. Have you experienced this phenomenon in your music?

Lo-fi fever Jackson Cavalier & The Fevertones WITH MULTIBIRD AND PAXTOR FRIDAY, MAY 27 SOUTH WEDGE MISSION HALL 125 CAROLINE STREET 7 P.M. | CALL FOR TICKETS | 746-3048 THEFEVERTONES.BANDCAMP.COM [ INTERVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE
If Jackson Cavalier & The Fevertones were to turn it up and increase the speed, the band would just end up killing its volume and speed. You follow? It’s kind of hard to explain, but ramping up the topical aspects of the band would make it lose its intensity. Fortunately this minimalist, acousticdriven Rochester band has no intention of plugging in and peeling out. It’s Cavalier’s ragged tenor that leads the plunge over the band’s lo-fi minimalism and earthy refrain. It’s dark, but not hopeless; it’s a funeral dirge without a stiff. Jackson Cavalier & The Fevertones recently released “The Devil’s Undertow,” the second in a trilogy that finds the 16 CITY MAY 25-31, 2016
22-year-old songwriter exploring Dante Alighieri’s “Inferno.” There’s humor and irony in place to cool the flames … or to fan them. Either way, it burns hot and cool. Cavalier sat down to discuss his sound, folk music in general, and Hell — see you there. An edited transcript of that conversation follows. City: Would the earthy intensity of your music translate electrically if you decided to go that way? Jackson Cavalier: I think I could definitely
do it electrically if I wanted to. The Fevertones used to be a two-piece bluesrock group for six or seven months. Sort of like a White Stripes-type of deal. I found it hard to break into the scene with so many rock bands in it. So going unplugged was a marketing move?
Almost; yeah. It came at a good time because I really liked folk music, but I never thought about pursuing it seriously. Does folk define what you do?
I definitely fit into it loosely. When I go to
It’s almost like they grow. It’s still the same chords and lyrics, but the feel can change. What’s weird is it just happens; they kind of take on a life of their own. What do you think attracts fans to you?
Initially it was the one-man-band aesthetic, but then I just tried it with the acoustic guitar and people still liked it. Roger Kuhn aid to me, “Some of the stuff you do doesn’t need drums. It carries on its own. Talk about your fascination with Dante’s “Inferno.”
I tried reading it in high school and it was just way over my head. It’s a thick read. I rediscovered it about two years ago, and was really blown away at how he brought in the mythology from his day, along with religion and politics. These are two, soon to be three, albums of really dark stuff. Why did you pursue this?
It made me get a little more serious with my songwriting. Our album “Barefooted & Still Breathing,” that stuff was lighthearted and fun but not as serious as I wanted it to be. There’s a lot of stuff I’ve written in a lighter realm — nature and the laws of the natural world. But you could return to dark quickly if so inclined.
It’ll either be light or political and about the 2016 election.

FOLK | GOLDEN LINK MEMBERS SHOWCASE
ROCK | MANDROID ECHOSTAR
During its 45 years, the Golden Link Folk Singing Society has gone beyond merely putting on concerts for the community. The society has actively cultivated music-making and the continuation of the folk tradition through workshops and weekly “sing-arounds.” This Tuesday, Golden Link hosts a Members Showcase, an acoustic concert that highlights some of the musicians who comprise the lifeblood of this Rochester music organization. The lineup includes folk singer Nora Bradbury-Hachl, a cappella vocalist David Michael Nixon, and five-piece roots band Geezer.
Mandroid Echostar knows how to take the best elements of different genres and create something absolutely worth hearing. With an extremely catchy vocal style and epic scale — think bands like Coheed and Cambria — and the prog elements and instrumental theatrics that have worked so well for Protest the Hero and Meshuggah, Mandroid Echostar is a rare treat indeed. The music is tight and you can tell these guys know their instruments inside and out. With complex rhythms and vocal acrobatics, Mandroid Echostar embody all that is good and holy within the world of progressive rock and metal.
The Golden Link Folk Singing Society will present its Members Showcase on Tuesday, May 31, at Twelve Corners Presbyterian Church, 1200 South Winton Road. 7:30 p.m. $5. goldenlink.org. — BY DANIEL J. KUSHNER

After the floods receeded, watermarks stain a car and houses in post-Katrina New Orleans. This photograph is part of “Robert Polidori: Chronophagia,” which is on view at the Memorial Art Gallery through July 24. PHOTO PROVIDED

If you maintain a home or property, you know that taking care of the space is an uphill battle. Left alone, order returns to chaos. Photographer Robert Polidori is known for capturing entropy’s progress on man-made structures when, for various reasons, maintenance on those environments has ceased. The Memorial Art Gallery’s current show, “Chronophagia” — which translates to “eaten by time” — explores Polidori’s oeuvre through dozens of his large-format photographs from around the world. “There’s not a lot of happy here,” says Marlene Hamann-Whitmore, director of academic programs at MAG. But she thinks the work also speaks to human resilience; all of these things happened, and people keep moving forward. The selection of images (curated by Daniel Strong, a former MAG intern who is now associate director and curator of exhibitions at Grinnel College’s Faulconer Gallery) 22 CITY MAY 25-31, 2016
documents the remains of spaces after cultural shifts and major disasters: post-Castro Havana; post-Katrina New Orleans; post-meltdown Chernobyl and Pripyat; post-civil war Beirut; abandoned apartments in New York City; and Versailles as it was being restored. Visitors are met in the Grand Gallery’s front room by Polidori’s images of New York City from the 1980’s, which reveal apartments that are empty of their deceased occupants but still host the trappings of those lives. Because of Polidori’s privileged access — a friend was the real estate agent assigned to all sales in an East 14th Street building — he was able to document the brief moments when evidence of those lives lingered. But next-ofkin had often beat him to it, and rifled through their relatives’ possessions, upending order and laying bare the layers of life. “Vandalism is a sort of necrophilia,” Polidori says in the provided wall text. “One person’s life treasures and mementos become the detritus of another’s sifting.” In the New Orleans photos, the disaster is viscerally apparent through waterlogged furniture and watermarks left horrifyingly high on interior walls. Other rooms are dominated by the texture of blistered paint clinging limply to stained surfaces. Polidori’s work is so crisply detailed that it beckons you to step closer and take in specific bits. And when you do, the particular photograph fills your peripheral vision and floods the senses.
Most of the environments are architectural studies bereft of human figures, but in one of Polidori’s Havana images, two boys dawdle in the shaded side of an otherwise sun-bathed courtyard, where tropical plants thrive amid a broken-down fountain, crumbling walls, and ornate windows with missing panes. There’s a haunted romance to many of the Havana interiors. People still inhabit these elegant great rooms filled with old-world character and antiques, but time has paused and the occupants are making do amid the ruins. “If you live there, you probably don’t see it as romantic, you see it as, ‘I’m hanging my laundry in the lobby of a hotel restaurant,’” Hammond-Whitmore says. People were also dwelling in the abandoned headquarters of Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea, which Polidori photographed in Beirut in 1994. The wall text offers an anecdote: While eating falafel and gazing at the destruction, Polidori glimpsed an elderly woman carrying groceries through a ground-floor window. “It had never occurred to me that anyone could still actually live there,” he says. It’s easy to understand why he was caught off guard. The difference between interior and exterior are negotiable — bullet holes riddle the walls that have not been reduced to rubble, and other parts of the structure seem dangerously unstable. Floors are invisible for the seas of dirt, broken bricks, papers, boxes, and cushions. The photographs of Chernobyl and Pripyat, Ukraine, taken in 2001, convey time-decayed interiors — schools, a maternity ward, a nursery, as well as the ominous control room of reactor 4 — and offer the wistful details of a deflated basketball and still-ready school supplies on desks. One of these images centers on a damaged blackboard, where a chalked phrase has remained legible since it was scrawled. Through a chain of contacts, Hammond-Whitmore was able to find someone to translate the text: “There is no return. Farewell, Pripyat. 28 April, 1986.” Polidori’s images of Versailles, which span almost 30 years of restoration from 1985 to 2013, serve a more lighthearted purpose than the others — in these pictures, he documents the uncovering of layers of perpetual alterations, restoration, and upkeep. And he subtly points out that even spaces unadulterated by war, floods, looting, or nuclear fallout require constant maintenance. This is the elegance of Versailles, with a ‘pay no attention to the man behind the curtain’ vibe, Hammond-Whitmore says. Instead of the dollhouse-like, lavish projection usually presented to viewers, we encounter famous paintings casually leaning against walls, painters’ ladders, the corners of decades of wallpaper peeled back from one wall, and all manner of worn, stained, and faded glory.

NTID’s unique presentation of this work includes both deaf and hearing actors, and will be presented in spoken English and American Sign Language. “Godspell” has long been a hit for its fantastical visual account and vivid enactment of the last days of Jesus as described in the Gospel of Matthew, all set updated to a modern New York City, and this special arrangement will mix classic musical performance, signing, and dancing for a distinct version of the show. “Godspell” will take place at Geva Theatre Center (75 Woodbury Boulevard) on Friday, May 27, and Saturday, May 28, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for seniors, students, and children. gevatheatre.org for tickets. — BY MARY WALRATH [ SAT., MAY 28 ] Murder in Margaritaland.

THEATER | “THE LANGUAGE ARCHIVE”
In the spirit of spring, MuCCC Theater will present Julia Cho’s magic-realism-style romantic comedy “The Language Archive,” directed by Jeff Siuda. The play tells the story of George, a man too wrapped up in being a prominent linguist and the head of the prestigious Language Archive to pay any mind to his unraveling personal life. George is not only oblivious to his wife’s plans to leave him, but is also unaware his lab assistant is desperately infatuated with him. His professional life takes a dramatic hit as well when he learns that the last two remaining speakers of a language touted to be the most beautiful on Earth, Elloway, are no longer speaking to each other. “The Language Archive” will run Friday, May 27, through Saturday, June 4, at MuCCC, 142 Atlantic Avenue. 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Fridays, and Saturdays; an additional 2 p.m. performance on Saturday, June 4. Advance tickets are $18 for adults, and $13 for seniors and students; $20 for adults and $15 for seniors and students at the door. muccc.org. — BY MARY WALRATH

[ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
Greece Ridge 12
Whether it’s Vienna in “The Third Man” or the Mexican border in “Touch of Evil,” some of the best noir films are inextricably linked to their settings. Filmed and set in Buffalo, “The American Side” can be added to that list for utilizing its Western New York locations in expert fashion. Sure, the ability to spot familiar sights can add to the fun, but grounding the plot

in a specific sense of place lends the tale its flavor. Here, Buffalo isn’t just a stand-in for some anonymous city, but is allowed to have a distinct personality all its own, while director Jenna Ricker and co-writer and star Greg Stuhr toss in the sort of detail that only a native could provide. If “The American Side” doesn’t reach the level of those alltime classics (but really, that’s not a fair comparison), it should leave fans of the genre more than satisfied. In keeping with established genre conventions, “The American Side” revolves around a classic anti-hero type, a private eye named Charlie Paczynski (Stuhr). A gumshoe with a moral compass all his own, Charlie’s not above blackmailing his clients out of some extra dough by photographing them in compromising positions with his stripper friend (Kelsey Siepser). He’s in the middle of one such photo session — beneath the lurid neon lights of a carnival

— when a gunshot rings out and both his friend and his mark disappear. Charlie eventually tracks the man, an engineer named Tom Soberin (Harris Yulin), to Niagara Falls, where Tom delivers a cryptic warning before promptly taking a dive into the drink. Digging further only embroils the hapless PI in a conspiracy that involves the lost designs of inventor Nikola Tesla — and one schematic in particular may hold the key to building an allpowerful, world-altering doohickey. Tesla lore is a subject so ripe for exploration that I wish Stuhr and Ricker had worked more into their story, but as you might expect, the Tesla aspect of the story is merely a MacGuffin. Instead, the plot is mostly an excuse to put Charlie up against a cast of colorful characters: femme fatales, government agents, and shady businessmen, all of whom may or may not want him dead. Naturally there’s a couple of beautiful and mysterious women (Alicja Bachleda and Camilla Belle), a stern DARPA agent (Janeane Garofalo), a pair of feuding energy tycoons (Matthew Broderick and Rochester native Robert Forster), and a supporting cast rounded out by ringers like character actors Robert Vaughn and Joe Grifasi. Stuhr and Ricker have a clear appreciation for the genre they’re working in. The film is loaded with references and

homages, from “North By Northwest” and “Kiss Me Deadly” to the musical score by David Shire, known for providing the driving force behind 1970’s conspiracy thrillers “The Conversation” and “All the President’s Men.” At one point, a character compares Charlie to Philip Marlowe, “I always preferred Mike Hammer,” he responds. The performances can occasionally feel a touch uneven — not everyone is convincing with the stylized, hard-boiled dialogue that the script calls for — and the plot only barely holds together. But then, overlycomplicated, near-impenetrable plots have always been a noir staple. But Ricker and cinematographer Frank Barrera make great use of Buffalo’s industrial architecture, including the gorgeous Colonel Ward Pumping Station, and a late-film foot chase that takes place alongside Niagara Falls is thrilling. Stuhr and Ricker are also careful to not tie the film to any specific time period; no cell phones or modern technology make an appearance, giving the film a timeless feel. Filled with enough twists and turns to keep audiences guessing, “The American Side” is a worthy throwback to the retro thrillers that inspired it. A Q&A with filmmakers Jenna Ricker and Greg Stuhr will follow Thursday’s screening.

A Family Street with Lions and Elephants Next Door 272 Versailles Road From the front porch at 272 Versailles Rd., take the stroller and turn right. Cross St. Paul Street, looking both ways, and enter Frederick Law Olmsted’s historic Seneca Park, home of the Seneca Park Zoo. Wear out the children, and retrace your steps. Such is life among the charming streets off St. Paul, just south of the Irondequoit line. Built in 1928, 272 Versailles is a cozy, sturdy starter home eager to house another young family. Three bedrooms and a large unfinished attic provide growth potential on a quiet, tree lined street. The exterior is welcoming, with mature dogwoods, Rose of Sharon, butterfly bush, a fruit-bearing pear tree and, if you hurry to visit, a lilac that is infusing the dining room with a wonderful scent. Many original elements add character here. The original tile floor in the foyer, original glass doorknobs, milk box, multi-paned glass doors, narrow plank “Rochester” oak floors, and crown molding all speak of 1928, while an updated kitchen says 21st century. A working wood-burning fireplace awaits, as does the three-season enclosed porch that faces south for winter warmth. The original wood siding is visible on the porch walls. The house feels larger than its 1,238 square feet. The living room is a generous size, and leads into the formal dining room. A partial
wall was removed between the kitchen and dining room to create a brighter, larger space. The kitchen has newer cabinets, glass tile backsplash, good linoleum floor and gas stove. From the kitchen are stairs to a clean, dry basement with washer/dryer and one of those funny toilet rooms frequently found in older homes. Another door leads to the fully fenced backyard and two-car detached garage. The property measures 0.14 acre. The three bedrooms and full bath on the second floor feature lovely unpainted gumwood trim. The rooms are large, bright and fitted with closets large for the period. The bath was likely renovated in the 1970s, and is fully functional as is. A hall linen closet completes the second floor. The peace of the neighborhood is interrupted only by the sound of lawnmowers. School 50 is within walking distance, as are stores and restaurants along Ridge Road. Versailles Road is 10 minutes from Frontier Field, the Genesee Brew House, the Strong Museum of Play, and the soccer stadium. The best of all worlds. The property is listed by Brian Callahan of RE/MAX Plus, 585-414-7767, for $84,900. by Elizabeth Teall Elizabeth is a Landmark Society volunteer.

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign announced they had recently (a first, they claimed) transmitted high-speed digital data through slabs of pork loin and beef liver. The signal cleared the muscle and gristle so cleanly that it permitted streaming of high-definition video — enough to watch Netflix, said the lead researcher. (Actually, the advance is crucial in that it allows a patient to swallow a transmitter and for physicians to monitor inner workings of the body in real time and externally control implanted devices such as cranial sensors and defibrillators.)

(1) In the latest ruling on a familiar theme, a court in Modena, Italy, ordered a father to continue paying living expenses for his son, age 28, who had meandered through a degree in literature but now has decided to seek another, in experimental cinema. (Almost two-thirds of Italians aged 18 to 34 still live with their parents.) (2) In Beijing, an elderly couple secured a court order in March forcing their 36-year-old daughter finally to move out after she had refused for years. The couple admitted to the Beijing Morning Post that they might have pampered her excessively over the years, even lending her the equivalent of $23,000 to buy a house.
