Aldi not a good fit
Those of us in the Browncroft neighborhood who are skeptical regarding the proposed fourth supermarket in the area are not anti-development, but simply opposed to the Aldi proposal, which replaces a cultural nexus (Jim’s Restaurant) with a suburban-style big-box store and accompanying asphalted street frontage. This does not constitute sound urban planning which, by definition, should reflect the wishes and needs of the nearby residents. However, were the developer to adhere to existing zoning requirements and make the project compatible with a cityscape, perhaps incorporating a returned Jim’s, a dog groomer, etc., I am sure any neighborhood opposition would be muted.

Put Genesee to the test
Genesee Community Charter School is located in one of the finest neighborhoods with clean, quiet streets; trees; flowers; and no one standing on the street corners. The school has no broken windows, the rooms do not lack supplies, and attendance is strong. Parents are at your beck and call. Ms. Wing says that the 30/70 population works for the kids (News, May 12). Well, we already know that; they are called suburban schools. (About 30 percent of Genesee’s students quality for free and reduced-cost meals.) Ms. Wing’s school has not done anything new or different with student development that any city school with a 30/70 ratio couldn’t do. How could a lottery always come out 30/70? What are the odds? My challenge to you, Ms. Wing, is to follow the New York State charter guidelines on student population and show the city what 2 CITY

you can do with the same baseline. If you have the same success, we could all learn from you, and the kids would be the real winners. LET’S BE FAIR TO ALL
Time for real talk about poverty
Mary Anna Towler says that the problem of poverty is still on her mind. (Urban Journal, May 19). Maybe that is the problem. Poverty is not just something on someone’s mind. It is something that people feel in their hearts. And poverty is relative. Where do we draw the line on who is in poverty and who is comfortable? Does Towler consider herself comfortable? I do not. I live on a small Social Security check and I do not have a car or even a cell phone of my own. I have advanced degrees, but I am unemployed. Perhaps we can start an ongoing conversation about how to lift us all, economically and in spirit. If we really care about poverty, maybe we can come together with fresh ideas and energies and work on putting solutions into practice, right now. Towler concludes, “Because the problem of Rochester’s increasing poverty is beyond serious. It is a crisis. And even if we’re able to keep it bottled up for generation after generation after generation, it is doing terrible damage to thousands of human beings every single year. That is a moral stain on this community.” This reminds me of a Jewish saying: “Words from the heart enter the heart.” Perhaps we can make real progress, heart to heart. HARRY PEARLE
City schools, pro and con
It is fair to say that there are some good city schools, and living in the city if you are in the right neighborhood is also cool. There are also parents who have the means to move, but instead like and fight for city schools, but that number is very low and the specific schools they embrace are the exception and not the norm. The same parents who claim things are fine would never send their children to School 17, or School 3, or Charlotte, or dozens of other schools where
there are more tears than smiles. “Standing up for city schools (News, May 27)?” I don’t think so. “What savvy parents can do to navigate the system” would have been more appropriate. GOTTA SAY IT
I am always amazed at how angry some people get when they hear me talk about why my kids love their schools. Every time I praise our city school, the failings at another school get pointed out to me. No RCSD parent is unaware of the problems in this system, but these problems do not negate the positives. The positives happen at the school level with resilient and beautiful children being taught by committed and generous teachers. SCASSETTA
I am a city school district parent, and yes, it can be tough. You learn to be an advocate for your children, their peers, your school…The feeling of instability caused by changing administrations at central office is tough. Placement office is tough to deal with. Not knowing year to year if your school’s programs will remain intact is tough. The pervasiveness of poverty, and its effects, is heartbreaking. These are things that drive some to the suburbs, and I understand that. However, I also know that the amazing schools my sons attended, and now attend, have shaped them in ways a suburban school would not have — and I teach in a suburban school. They have a full spectrum, world-class view and a group of peers who are diverse and amazing. They have been given wonderful opportunities, and are succeeding in ways I would have never imagined. HARRISON
To the critics, there are just too many people making good things happen to suffer a blanket condemnation. Let’s build on and replicate our successes to help those who need help. But to do that we need more players on the field and fewer critics. DANIEL DELEHANTY

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
Ethics, schmethics “If FIFA were run by child molesters, mass murderers, and – I don’t know, some other heinous folks – it would have zero effect on my soccer watching. Zero. And I’m not the exception.” That was University of Michigan professor Andrei Markovits, discussing the arrest last week of seven officials of FIFA, the world soccer governing body, on corruption charges. “Everyone knows these organizations are crooked,” Markovits said on NPR’s Morning Edition. “This is known. This is how you procure votes. This is totally not news.” This is what we’ve come to, in too many areas of sports, and, lord knows, in too many areas of politics and government. Corruption? Shrug. Markovits, who teaches a class on “sports, politics, and society,” certainly wasn’t endorsing the actions FIFA officials are accused of. But he won’t stop watching a sport he loves, whether it’s run by corrupt officials or not. And the scandal didn’t stop FIFA from electing Sepp Blatter, FIFA’s president for the past 17 years, to his fifth term last week. Scandals in the NCAA haven’t put a dent in the viewership of college games, either, or in the financial health of that organization. As for the corruption in politics: holy cow. I had planned to pull some past examples from my “Corruption in Politics” file late last week, but real-time events made that unnecessary. On Thursday alone: • A grand jury indicted former New York Senate majority leader Dean Skelos and his son Adam, who are charged with extortion, wire fraud, conspiracy, and soliciting bribes. • State and federal investigators searched the homes of Christopher Grant, chief of staff for Western New York Representative Chris Collins; Steven Casey, former first deputy mayor of Buffalo; and Steven Pigeon, former Erie County Democratic Party chair and a perpetual political operative. The Buffalo News reported that a source said the investigations deal with “political campaigns and fundraising.” • A US attorney announced the indictment of Dennis Hastert, former speaker of the US House of Representatives, for lying to the FBI and for withdrawing cash from banks in a way that let him hide payments of $3.5 million to an unnamed person for “misconduct” against that person. And, of course, there’s the corruption of the political system by big money, abetted magnificently by the Supreme Court.
A scandal here, a scandal there: the corruption stories just keep rolling in. And nothing changes. Are we fed up yet? Detailing examples in a recent New York Times column, Nicholas Kristof passed on advice from Clinton labor secretary and liberal activist Robert Reich. To get rid of the corruption, Reich had told Kristof, “voters need to reach a point of revulsion.” “Hey, folks,” Kristof wrote, “that time has come.” Actually, I think that time has come and gone. I think all of us have gagged and heaved and thrown up all the revulsion we can muster. Now we’re at a worse stage: resigned to corruption as a fact of life that we can’t do anything about. In sports, the result of that resignation is that we keep watching and enjoying the games and rewarding the corrupters. In politics, the result is that increasingly, we don’t vote because we don’t think it matters. Corruption is eating away at the foundation of government at all levels, not only driving people away from the polls but also making all of us so cynical that we don’t trust anyone in government and don’t even try to understand complex issues. It is making it impossible to attract honorable people into politics. And our abdication of civic responsibility is leaving the field open for the corrupt and the wealthy to fashion government for their own ends. Politicians have a responsibility, to us and to the future of the nation, to face up to the harm that their corrupt brethren are doing, and to root out the evil in their midst. To line up behind real ethics and campaign finance reform. In New York, Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is pushing a broad, state-government reform bill, and goodgovernment groups have lined up behind it. But the chances are close to zero that it’ll pass. I, too, am losing faith. rochestercitynewspaper.com

The suspension culture It’s taking too long to revise the Rochester City School District’s Code of Conduct, some activists say. The situation is dire, they say, and a new policy needs to be in place when school starts in September. The Community Task Force on School Climate began work on the code about nine months ago. The group, which includes parents, teachers, community leaders, school officials, and others, formed in response to concerns about the number of suspensions in the district and the longterm effect of those suspensions. According to a report compiled last year by the activist group Metro Justice, there were 6,373 suspensions in the city

school district in the 2012-2013 school year. Eighty-eight percent were for disruptive behavior — not for weapons, drugs, or fights. The suspensions and resulting lost instruction time contribute to the school-to-prison pipeline, the report says. Under the new Code of Conduct, suspensions would be reserved for the most serious offenses, says Eamonn Scanlon, education organizer for Metro Justice and a member of the task force. Many teachers, however, are wary of the new policy. They are concerned about a lack of student and parent accountability, says Adam Urbanski, president of the Rochester Teachers Association. He
says that simply creating another policy won’t fix the problem. “We need a case manager in every school to address the mental, social-emotional services that are needed,” he says. There is no guarantee that the revised code will be ready for implementation by September, says task force member Rosemary Rivera. The policy is still a draft, she says, and revisions will be reviewed by attorneys at Advancement Project, a civil rights group that has worked with several large school districts to improve school climate, before the policy is submitted to the school board for approval.

“What I’m trying to get across is that cities like Rochester need a vision. Bigger roads, bigger highways, and more parking lots have been a disaster.” [ NORMAN GARRICK, ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT ]
TRANSPORTATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
The cost of cars When Norman Garrick looks at cities that declined during the latter half of the 20th century, he says that he’s seldom surprised to find that transportation issues are often an overlooked root cause. “I think a lot of what happened to the Rust Belt cities and some of the cities in the Northeast have been what I would call self-inflicted wounds,” says Garrick, associate professor at the University of Connecticut. “Those wounds are very related to transportation.” Garrick will speak at Gleason Works, 1000 University Avenue, on Wednesday, June 3. His lecture, “Transit Revolution,” is sponsored by the Rochester Regional Community Design Center. For tickets: www.rrcdc.org. Garrick’s research has focused on how city leaders in the US treat transportation. Cars and the entire infrastructure to accommodate them are not the dominate feature in prosperous urban environments, he says. Many officials have tried to address economic growth with a narrow, outdated view of transportation, Garrick says. “Transportation engineers have convinced people that the only thing that really matters is to look at how congested a place is, and how to relieve that congestion,” Garrick says.
That has historically led to building more highways, parking lots, and garages, he says, in the hope of attracting more people to downtown areas. But the result has frequently been the opposite, Garrick says. Instead of bringing more people downtown and boosting economic growth, he says, people have been displaced by cars. “People don’t want to be in an environment like this,” Garrick says. Rochesterians need to develop a clear picture of what they want the city to be 20 years from now, he says, paying particular attention to a transit system that moves beyond the automobile. “What I’m trying to get across is that cities like Rochester need a vision,” he says. “Bigger roads, bigger highways, and more parking lots have been a disaster.” Garrick recommends that Rochesterians take their cues from cities such as Berkeley, Cambridge, and especially Zurich, which Garrick says has one of the best transit systems in the world. Citizen groups in these cities played an important role in developing new transit systems, he says, starting with limiting reliance on cars. “A city Rochester’s size could easily depend

more on walking, biking, and public transit,” he says. “Rochester will look much more like a vibrant city.” Over time, the city would look less bombed-out from parking lots, vacant lots, and garages, he says. But re-envisioning transportation goes beyond individual mobility, Garrick says. The cost of cars, insurance, maintenance, and fuel; where we work and the jobs we want; the number of people killed on highways; and the cost of health care for a sedentary society are all factors of transportation, Garrick says. “When you look at all those different measures, you find that places where people are more car-dependent pay for that dependence in a lot of different ways,” he says.
POLITICS | BY JEREMY MOULE
AG pushes ethics bill Attorney General Eric Schneiderman had drafted legislation that would give his office the power to investigate and prosecute public corruption in New York. The bill has a few sponsors in the State Assembly, but hasn’t yet been introduced in the Senate. Schneiderman appeared with good-government activists in Rochester on Monday to push the End New York Corruption Now Act, which contains more than a dozen changes to state law. It’d place tighter limits on campaign contributions, prohibit legislators from earning outside income, raise legislators’ pay, increase legislators’ terms from two years to four, and toughen the legal definition of bribery. The legislation also calls for a public campaign-financing system, where the state would match individual campaign contributions between $10 and $175 at a six-toone ratio. But even if the bill makes it to the floor of the Senate, it may be dead on arrival. Republicans control the Senate, and the conference is largely opposed to public financing of campaigns. Former Assembly speaker Sheldon Silver and former Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos have been arrested and charged in separate federal corruption cases this year. They have pleaded not guilty and profess their innocence.

An upcoming vote will determine the Village of Macedon's fate.
PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLIN
GOVERNMENT | BY JEREMY MOULE
Macedon’s dissolution decision Villages are often portrayed as idyllic hubs of small-town charm and traditional values. Everybody knows everybody else. Downtowns brim with small businesses. And residents and merchants pitch in to make the communities attractive and welcoming. And that’s how Mayor Marie Cramer describes the 1,500-person Village of Macedon in Wayne County, located a 10-minute drive east of Perinton. When the village government could no longer afford to buy flowers for downtown, she says, a local greenhouse began donating them. And the public Butterfly Nature Trail near Erie Canal Lock 30 was established mostly through donations and volunteer work. “I think that’s a good, viable thing we have in this community, because when things really need to get done, people will just come together and make sure it gets done,” Cramer says. But villages are also places where personal grudges and community conflicts churn, sometimes for generations. The Macedon village and town governments have long been at odds over police, fire, and ambulance services; village sewer plant operations and the village water system; and money. And for the past few years, village residents have been caught up in a deep, bitter dispute over whether the village is even necessary. On June 10, Macedon residents will decide whether to dissolve the village — the third time they’ve voted on the matter since 2008. Residents rejected dissolution 257 to 228 the first time. They shot it down again in 2010 by a margin of 295 to 199. For members of the pro-dissolution group One Macedon, eliminating the village is about lowering taxes. An analysis by the Center for Governmental Research estimates that village 6 CITY
JUNE 3-9, 2015
residents could see a 40-percent tax cut by dissolving village government. (The village board commissioned CGR to do the analysis.) “The only thing that’s going to change is that bill we get in the mail each year,” says One Macedon spokesperson Bill Murray. Cramer agrees that dissolution would lower tax bills. But it would also destroy the community’s morale, she says, and the savings would come at the expense of the village fire and ambulance services, as well as its Department of Public Works staff. Cramer and the members of Macedon Village Pride, who oppose dissolution, also say that the community would lose out on festivals, community concerts, and family-friendly events organized and promoted through Village Hall. Village officials also just finished a revitalization plan, which could be derailed by dissolution, Cramer says. “In the long run, you have to look at what you pay taxes for,” says John Cieslinski, coowner of Books Etc. on West Main Street and a member of Macedon Village Pride. “Are you getting the quality from your tax dollars?” All of New York’s villages exist within towns.
Essentially, they are an additional layer of government, though many village residents and officials resist that characterization. Village residents can force a dissolution vote through a petition; they just have to collect signatures from 10 percent of the community’s registered voters. Late last year, members of One Macedon submitted a petition that exceeded that threshold. The petition process has led to dissolution votes in other villages across the region, with differing results. Last year, residents in the Village of Lyons approved dissolution. In 2010,
Brockport voters rejected it. Earlier this year, voters in the Orleans County village of Medina rejected a dissolution measure. That vote was initiated by the mayor and the village board. Each of the votes has centered on promises of tax savings, often with the idea that villages can be eliminated while keeping important services. But that’s not always how it works out. For example, some Lyons voters who backed dissolution are now upset that the town does not plan to keep the village police. But as clichéd as it sounds, each village is different. Each dissolution vote has had its own set of issues and dynamics. Brockport landlords helped instigate the dissolution vote in that village. They had clashed with village officials and police for years, mostly over code issues and enforcement. But dissolution opponents successfully questioned whether the lower taxes would justify the potential loss of services, including the police department. Medina residents were concerned about police and fire services, too. And officials in the surrounding towns of Ridgeway and Shelby — Medina is split between the two — aggressively opposed dissolution. Because of the way services would have been divided, village residents would have seen a tax decrease while taxes in the towns would’ve gone up. In Macedon, town residents would see a 12 percent tax decrease, according to the CGR analysis. The drop would be due to a state incentive meant to encourage government consolidation. The 40 percent tax savings projected for Village of Macedon residents is atypical, says CGR Associate Principal Paul Bishop. In most villages,
taxpayers can expect savings of about 15 percent, he says. The Macedon calculation also has a few caveats. It includes special districts to preserve fire, sidewalk plowing, and brush pickup services, as well as street lights. Often, when villages dissolve, tax rates decrease but special districts are formed to maintain services — and that eats away at the savings. The Town of Macedon took over police services from the village a few years ago, Bishop says. The town also has fire and ambulance services that already cover the village, he says, so the village departments can be eliminated. Cramer says that’s part of the village’s problem. The town used to contract with the village for those services, but then it started an ambulance department and helped form a fire district. The moves hurt village finances, she says. Dissolution supporters want the Wayne County Water and Sewer Authority to take over the village’s water and sewer infrastructure. Both systems need upgrades, they say, and the authority is better suited to make those investments and to operate the systems. And the arrangement would end expensive, acrimonious legal proceedings between the town and village over the village sewer plant. “Arguing over the sewer plant is so dumb because, let’s face it, nobody cares who runs the sewer plant as long as the toilets flush,” says One Macedon member Dennis Trovato. But the village and town of Macedon haven’t yet developed a plan for continuing village services, should voters choose dissolution. Under state law, town and village officials have 180 days after the vote to develop a plan. But the town also has no legal obligation to follow the plan. “What people have to realize is once the village is gone, it’s gone,” Cramer says.

A permanent parking spot [ CHOW HOUND ] BY KATIE LIBBY
Anyone who is familiar with the food truck scene in Rochester knows Marty’s Meats: the popular sandwich truck is a fixture downtown and at office parks and food truck rodeos. A new brick and mortar location at 703 Park Avenue, Marty’s on Park, allows owners Marty O’Sullivan and Paul Koecheler an opportunity to expand their menu which, most importantly, means more meats. The menu at the new location will always have four proteins (served on a roll), six sandwiches, and four sides. The physical menu was created by local artist, Sarah Rutherford, and consists of framed menu items that can be easily removed and replaced as the offerings change. The majority of the menu will change on a weekly basis, with daily specials available. The sides are seasonal, market driven, and available for $5 — currently
available are beets, carrots, mixed greens, and market veggies. All proteins are $10 and made in house. The pastrami is cured for three weeks and smoked for 12 hours — and the brisket is smoked for 12 hours as well. Rotating through the menu will be pork belly, porchetta, pulled pork, and chicken. For the most part, the sandwiches (all are $9) on the menu are those that patrons of the food truck have grown accustomed to, like the Rosato, comprised of roasted eggplant, pickled onions, lettuce, tomato, provolone and red pepper aioli. Or the Frisket, which is smoked beef brisket, truck-made pickles, and Marty’s BBQ sauce. That BBQ sauce is for sale at the new location as well. Marty’s on Park will have a small brunch menu available on Sundays. Permanent hours are still in the works — check Marty’s Facebook page for updates. Marty’s on Park is located at 703 Park
Avenue, and is open Tuesday through Saturday for lunch and dinner, and Sunday for brunch. 434-3292. Visit its Facebook page for daily hours of operation and more information.

[ JAZZ ] Like his famous father, Louis Prima Jr. is the consummate showman. Judging by his latest album, “Blow,” Prima and his wild group, The Witnesses, should have Fairport up and dancing in the aisles after Chet Catallo & The Cats have warmed them up. Fairport Canal Days has become the jazz festival before the jazz festival with free concerts including the Mike Melito Quartet, Tarantino/Terefenko, the John Nyerges Quartet, and many more. — BY RON NETSKY

country is highly accessible even for those who aren’t normally country fans. The guy is a flatpicking master and can absolutely tear it up on an acoustic guitar, and his singing is pretty darn good, to boot. Couple that with his non-typical lyrical themes and you have an eccentric musical genius. Aside from improvisations of his own songs, he’s also known to break out covers of Michael Jackson, Shania Twain, and Cher, among others. There’s also a good amount of humor mixed into his shows, so count on some laughs at this one. — BY TREVOR LEWIS

Big Blue House. The Little
Ricky Richards and the Sound Organization have gone about this self-released, stompin’ R&B platter the right way instrumentally. There’s bright ‘n’ ballsy brass, a tight rhythm section, backing gal vocals, and Richards parked up front behind his keyboard and his shades as he runs the whole wild affair. The Sound Organization is a good band full of good musicians … and that’s the problem. It’s a tad vanilla. The slop and sleaze, the bop and grease just ain’t there. And frankly that’s more important than getting the notes right. The band is still a lot of fun and packs a solid groove and I dare anyone to sit still at one of their shows. They just need to put a little more stank on it. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Pianist Gap Mangione is such a ubiquitous presence in the Rochester jazz world, he can sometimes be taken for granted. That’s why it was an inspired idea, when recording his new album, to get out of town. “Live In Toronto” features a great band, a new, appreciative audience, and a revitalized Gap. With Mangione are Andy Weinzler and Pat LaBarbera on saxes, Neil Swainson, bass, and Steve Curry, drum. The album was recorded live at the Old Mill the old fashioned way. As the credits point out, Weinzler can be heard through your left speaker, LaBarbera through your right. It’s precisely this ingredient — along with crisp arrangements and strong solos — that imbues the album with the feeling of a 1950’s club date. The repertoire features on new takes on Mangione tunes, with two by Gap and five by his brother Chuck. This is appropriate considering Gap was in Chuck’s band when songs like “Land Of Make Believe” were debuted. There are also excellent covers of Leroy Anderson’s “Serenata” and Duke Pearson’s “Tribute To Brownie,” but Mangione saves the best for last. Just when I was thinking his exuberant tune, “Calypso for Janet,” is nicely reminiscent of one of those great old Sonny Rollins tunes, Mangione acknowledges the tribute by throwing in a quote from “St. Thomas.” — BY RON NETSKY

Ask all the members of Dust & Bone whether they prefer the studio to the live stage, the answer comes back instant and unanimous: “live.” Dust & Bone is a leather and denim Americana band, straight up, and a good one, too. Elements of blues, country, and folk do the dance with rock ‘n’ roll. But beneath the rootsy exterior is a band looking to break out, find its own way, and find its own identity. Call it busted Americana. The quintet — Mike Parker, guitar, vocals; Bill Mueller, bass, mandolin, guitar; Ross Amstey, guitar; Eric Metzgar, drums; and Stuart Love, guitar — all bring disparate musical influences to the band from Hendrix to Lightfoot, Prine to The Band. Yet all that outside pull loses its specificity in the swirling dynamics that is Dust & Bone as it states more, quotes less. The band has one album out, “Good Heart,” and is busy rehearsing in anticipation of recording numero dos, with their dynamic take mixed in with rock ‘n’ roll’s dust and bones. The band stopped in to City HQ for a few questions, we discussed the shift from outside influence to internal and butting heads in rehearsal among other things. Please, read on … City: When blending influences, is doing originals better or worse? Ross Amstey: It makes it much better.
They are their own sort of style. When we come together with a common goal we bring in influences from all over, which creates our sound. Mike Parker: Even when we’re working on a cover song we try and make it our own. Do you guys ever butt heads creatively? Parker: It’s a healthy thing to irritate each

other once in a while. That’s how you change a grain of sand into a pearl. It’s healthy in a creative situation to have a little conflict. Amstey: The product of that is something really exciting. Bill Mueller: If I’m working with someone and we always agree, one of us is redundant. What works in blending the sound without the head-butting? Amstey: We find the balance. Stuart is more
of a bluesy, melodic guitar player than I am. I’m more percussive, if I can bang on the strings, I think it sounds better. And if we can find room for both those things, then it meshes, it works. I think what we do all comes together because Mr. Metzgar is such an incredible drummer.
Since the release of “Good Heart” how has Dust & Bone grown or changed? Parker: I think we know what we sound
like now, we have a very conscious approach now. We all know each other. Mueller: And now we have three songwriters instead of just one, so instead of just being Americana, it’s a broader Americana-blues-rock. The influences, for the most part, are fairly obvious. What are some that aren’t? Eric Metzgar: Jazz. I’m primarily a jazz
player. I think I bring a spontaneity to it; a jazz spirit What’s the most rewarding thing to being in this band? Parker: You can write a good song, you
can record a good song, but when you’re playing it together, and playing live and in the moment, and you’ve done it like a dozen times, it has the potential to explode into something greater than it ever started out being.

SINGER-SONGWRITER | MARY GAUTHIER
SHOP GREEN ...more ooolahlah for your moolahlah
The track “Falling Out Of Love” on Mary Gauthier’s 2005 release, “Mercy Now,” is the most haunting un-love song I’ve ever heard. It arrests me every time — kind of like a countrified Nick Cave. The lady has done plenty since, but hasn’t lost any of her love-lost charm and tarnish. Gauthier sings of a life lived and lived hard: Abandoned at birth in the Big Easy, she ran away from her adopted home at 15, was in and out of rehab, stole a car and spent her 18th birthday in jail. She ran her own Cajun restaurant in Boston and didn’t write her first song until she was 35. That’s right. You can hear it all in her voice and on her latest album, “Trouble & Love.” Captivating, haunting, and starkly beautiful. Luxury Resale • Upcycle • Repurpose

ROCK | THE WAR ON DRUGS
On its third album, 2014’s excellent “Lost in the Dream,” The War on Drugs toe the ever-blurring line between pleasingly retro and mawkishly nostalgic with particular aplomb, sounding as if the sextet has mainlined the American rock triumvirate of Dylan, Springsteen, and Petty, right down to the feeling of wanderlust. But unlike his heartland rock compatriots, the band’s lead singer, Adam Granduciel, is unafraid to let the rest of the Philadelphia outfit ply their trade alongside — or even over the top — of him. The songs that comprise “Lost in the Dream” are free to meander their way to their eventual destinations, venturing off to explore the side streets of Middle America.

For fans of ethereal, fuzzy, warm rock ‘n’ roll this new band to Relapse Records hits the spot. Not quite heavy, not entirely shoegaze, it embodies all those things while carving out something unique. Space between hits is the band’s vehicle for attack, as swirling, cavernous tones wash over your ears. Meanwhile the drums crash like waves breaking on shore with occasional outbursts of timpani, all coming together to lift up the listener in a bobbing sea. The vocals are withdrawn and nostalgic as they aid the music’s palette, instead of standing on top of it. Hailing from Philadelphia, this band brings a sound to Rochester that is sonically satisfying and worth checking out.

Old fairy stories, world travels, and local folk musicians are some of the muses Rochester-based artist Caitlin Yarsky uses in her stunning illustrations. PHOTO PROVIDED

both written and illustrated. City Newspaper caught up with Yarsky shortly after the release of her newest fantastical print, “Eye of the Storm,” to discuss her origins and how she’s boldly forging a path into the shadowy future.
My first glimpse of Caitlin Yarsky’s talent was at the 2008 Artist’s Row at the Rochester Public Market, when I spied a tall, epic painting of a girl adventurer visible quite a distance from Yarsky’s booth. The subject was leaning out from her grasp on the mast of a ship and studying the horizon, oblivious to the gales whipping her garments around her. Since then, the 29-year old artist’s skills have blossomed further and grown deep roots — finding muses in many folk musicians in town, including the late accordion-player Andy Hammond, who was the subject of her 2014 WALL\THERAPY mural. Although she has, for the most part, abandoned her oil paints and brushes for slick digital work, Yarsky’s subject matter of strong female characters, rag-tag musicians, and corner-of-your-eye oddities has remained more or less the same — though the creatures and worlds she urges from the screen seem even more mysterious, monstrous, and dangerous. In late 2014, Yarsky struck out on her own as a freelance illustrator, and has since been building a base of local, national, and international clients. But she’s also developing a portfolio of interesting independent projects, including a comic book that she’s
Yarsky grew up on Long Island, and came to Rochester in 2005 after a year of studying illustration at Bennington College in Vermont. She received a BFA in illustration from RIT in 2008, and her evident talent led her to an internship at Jim Henson Studios in Hollywood, California, while she was still an undergrad. Yarksy stayed in Rochester to become a game designer and illustrator for Workinman, a local game development studio that hired her right out of college. “I learned a lot on the job, and grew with the company, which was about six people at the time,” she says. After a bit, Yarsky became an art director for Workinman, helping to design games and creating concept art for clients like Nickelodeon, Disney, Shockwave, Scholastic, and American Girl, among others. Since going freelance, Yarsky has created animation for apps, and illustrations and concept art for games and films. But she says her favorite work is still illustration, especially book illustration work. On her own, she’s created doodles and digital paintings rife with richly ornate, sly, and hugely imaginative details. Sinister imps swirl around a glowyeyed mistress, a bored cook sprouts extra arms, and an inquisitive child is mid-

discovery of some possibility for adventure overlooked by older eyes. Yarsky is also currently shopping her first comic book to publishers: “The Changeable Harper Finn,” which is a dark tale about a shape-shifter who becomes a bounty hunter. “It’s sort of Irish folktales mixed with steampunk elements,” Yarsky says. You can read the first few pages of the instantly engaging story on her website. In terms of art influences, Yarsky is enthusiastic about Fiona Staples, the illustrator of the wildly popular “Saga” comic book. “Every panel is just so beautiful,” Yarksy says. She also admires the work of comic book artist and kids’ book illustrator, Skottie Young; classical illustrator, Arthur Rackham; and fantasy illustrator and puppet maker extraordinaire, Brian Froud, whose work made so many beloved Jim Henson films, such as “Labyrinth” and “The Dark Crystal,” come to life. “Brian Froud actually made me want to be an illustrator when I was little kid,” Yarksy says. “My step-mother gave me his “Fairies” book he did in the 70’s. I met him at the San Diego Comic Con one year, and I was so star-struck.” Yarsky’s flesh-and-bones muses include many local musicians, in particular, her own friend Shannon Scally, siren of the dark, folk-flavored gypsy bands, The Pickpockets and The Shandeliers. Yarsky also plays violin with the latter band, and sings and plays violin with Rochester folk band, “Auld Lang Syne.” “I’m kind of a big nerd, and I love sci-fi and fantasy books and movies,” Yarsky says. She pulls inspiration from old myths and timeless stories — such as Ursula K. Le Guin’s “EarthSea Trilogy,” Frank Herbert’s “Dune,” and Tolkien’s works — as well as her own imagination and personal experience. Yarsky traveled to Japan after she quit her job, and created digital paintings based on her experiences of food and landscape. She also has a well of thousands of photographs from which she can draw future inspiration. In addition to her degree in illustration, Yarsky has a minor in Japanese. “I got into anime when I was in high school,” she says. “I quickly learned that most of it is terrible, so I didn’t keep watching it. But I developed an interest in Japan.” Yarsky says her ultimate dream scenario would be to really break into comics, in which she’s really just starting to find a path. While her storyline in “Harper Finn” comic is as engaging as the odd and moody world she paints, she says she’d prefer to stick to illustrating. “In terms of other work, I think ideally it’d be someone else writing,” she says. “I’m not really a writer, so it would be good to have somebody else’s capable hands doing the story part.”

FESTIVAL | FAIRPORT CANAL DAYS
This year is the 39th year of the Fairport Canal Days festival, which will feature vendors; artists and entertainment; wine, cheese and chocolate tasting; and live music. Great jazz has been the hallmark of the festival’s musical headliners, and this year is no exception, with the Saturday night slot going to swing music legend Louis Prima Jr., with support from Chet Catallo & the Cats. The festival — which hosts more than 200 artists, numerous food vendors, and live music — will take place Saturday June 6, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, June 7, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with a kickoff chicken barbeque on Friday, June 5, between 4:30 and 9 p.m. The festival will be held in the village of Fairport, right on the Erie Canal, as it has been for the festival’s tenure.

SPECIAL EVENT | “MISCAST”
The Rochester Gay Men’s Chorus will perform “Miscast” at Blackfriars Theatre on Friday, June 5. The cabaret-style performance will allow members of the chorus to break from normal casting restrictions and perform a song by a character for which they would normally never be cast. This model of show has been performed in numerous performing-arts communities across the country, and provides for a fun and compelling spin on musical theatre. The performance will be led by the Rochester Gay Men’s Chorus’ artistic director, Robert Strauss. Proceeds from the performance will go toward the Rochester Gay Men’s Chorus’ “2016 Get Us to GALA” fund, hopefully allowing members of the chorus to attend the GALA Choruses Festival 2016 in Denver. RGMC will perform “Miscast” twice on Friday, once at 7 p.m. and again at 9:30 p.m. Tickets are available online for presale at $12, or $15 at the door. Performances will take place at Blackfriars Theatre, located at 795 East Main Street. thergmc.org. — BY NOLAN H. PARKER rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 17

FILM | BEST OF THE FESTS
It’s no secret that Rochester is home to some terrific film festivals, and with so many great options it can be difficult for even the most diehard of film buffs to get to them all. To make things a little easier on those with a passion for cinema, three of Rochester largest film festivals will be teaming up this week to present a “Best of The Fests” mini film festival. Held at the Little Theatre from Wednesday, June 3, through Friday, June 6, the event is a collaboration between the ImageOut LGBT Film Festival, High Falls Film Festival, and the Rochester International Jewish Film Festival. “Best of the Fests” will allow each of the festivals to screen two standout films from their past seasons, giving anyone who may have missed them the first time around another chance to see the best of what these festivals can offer. Things kick off Wednesday with the acclaimed documentary, “The Dog,” about John Wojtowicz (the real-life inspiration for Al Pacino’s character in the classic film “Dog Day Afternoon”), followed by the Israeli drama “Brothers.” Tickets to each film are $8 ($6.50 for JCC, ImageOut, and Little Theatre members) and will be on sale online and at the Little Theatre box office.

ENTERTAINMENT | GCVM HUNTER DERBY
The Genesee Country Village and Museum (GCVM) (1410 Flint Hill Road, Mumford) will host its annual United States Hunter Jumper Association (USHJA) Hunter Derby on Saturday, June 6, and Sunday, June 7, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. A Hunter Derby is an equestrian race which differs from traditional derbies by attempting to mimic the conditions a hunter may find in the field, pushing both the horse’s and rider’s skills to the limit. The course — of fences, banks, ditches, and logs — at the GCVM will be placed inside its “Great Meadow,” surrounding the museum’s bandstand. Competition levels — defined by size of jumps — are divided into different categories: International on Sunday, with a grand prize of $10,500; National, with a grand prize of $1,500; and pony with a grand prize of $1,500 on Saturday. Top riders in the International level are offered the chance to compete in the USHJA International Hunter Derby in Lexington, Kentucky, August 13-15. Admission to the derby is $20 for adults, $17 for students and seniors, $12 for ages 4 to 16 and free for children under 3.

an uncharacteristically hot John Krasinski), Tracy has two kids, one of them a 12-year-old daughter who — oh, shush; I’m not ruining anything. It’s literally the first thought anyone would have … anyone except Brian, that is, because apparently that’s third-act thinkin’. To be fair, Brian has a ton on his mind because his life has fallen apart; marry that fact to his prodigal-son return to Hawaii and Stone’s obnoxiously screwball riff on the Manic Pixie Dream Girl, and it seems that Crowe basically chose to remake “Elizabethtown,” the film that arguably derailed Orlando Bloom’s career and did zero favors for his own. “Aloha” tries to incorporate way too much plot and intrigue — I really had no idea what was going on for the first half-hour — in service to a standardissue Crowe-mance, then stops just shy of completely offending our newest state with its condescending lower-48 imperialism. Hawaii’s famous landscape and complicated native culture are essentially deployed here to provide a mystical backdrop for haole problems, and making Stone’s character one-quarter Hawaiian does not excuse this, though it is hilarious. What’s incredibly frustrating is that the performances are all pretty good despite what the actors were given to work with. Cooper always seems a tiny bit unhinged behind his wide blue eyes, and it’s not difficult to buy his extremes of behavior. Stone could stand to rely a little less on her own peepers to emote, but

there’s little doubt she’s playing her male-fantasy archetype exactly as ignorantly written. (Note to Crowe: “I’m a fighter pilot” sounds sexy coming from anyone, dummy.) The graceful McAdams is a consistently underappreciated presence, but her character verges on the irrelevant, existing solely to help redeem our hero. Krasinski has maybe five lines — the joke here is that he doesn’t say anything — but the singular talents of Murray, Alec Baldwin as a spitting-mad general, and especially Danny McBride as a one-man Greek chorus, are all wasted. The mediocrity is unquestionably on the other side of the camera; for instance, how was French cinematographer Eric Gautier — the same guy who shot Olivier Assayas’ stunning “Summer Hours,” incidentally — able to make Hawaii look so uninspiring? Granted, there are a couple good scenes — Stone and Murray dancing to Hall & Oates springs to mind — but they feel dropped in from a better movie, one without a clichéd and convoluted script that fairly reeks of desperation. And it’s not like we weren’t warned about “Aloha” as a result of that notorious Sony email hack last December: “I’m never starting a movie again when the script is ridiculous and we al (sic) know it,” Sony honcho Amy Pascal reportedly wrote of the then-untitled Cameron Crowe project. Crowe is clearly out of ideas, and at the risk of blaming the victim, I guess it’s my fault for expecting anything different.
It’s not hard to see why biopics are so popular: they naturally provide a sense of history and drama, and with actors portraying an actual, real-life person, there’s a built-in barometer to tell you exactly how good a job they’re doing. But as with any genre that gains popularity, the films within it start to feel the same after a while, having accumulated their own sets of formulas, tropes, and conventions over the years (take a look at the underrated spoof, “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story” for hilarious skewering of some of these formulas). A trend in recent biopics has been to focus on a specific, defining period in the life of the subject instead of trying condense an entire life into a single film, but for the most part the blueprint has remained unchanged. This means that the ones that truly stand out are the ones with the guts to chuck the formula out the window. Two new biopics are getting a Rochester release
Paul Dano as Brian Wilson in “Love & Mercy.” PHOTO COURTESY ROADSIDE ATTRACTIONS
this week, and while one of these artistic profiles finds success by taking chances, the other sticks mostly with the tried and true. The more inventive (and successful) of the pair is “Love & Mercy,” director Bill Pohlad’s bifurcated tale about the life of Beach Boys singer-songwriter Brian Wilson. The film hops between two periods in Wilson’s life: the first in the 1960’s as Wilson (played by Paul Dano) quits touring with the band after suffering a nervous breakdown, choosing to focus his attention on producing and arranging the group’s landmark album, “Pet Sounds.” Hoping to prove the group was capable of more than silly fun-in-the-sun tunes, he finds himself butting heads with bandmate and cousin Mike Love (Jake Abel), as well as his disapproving father (Bill Camp). The second plotline takes place in the 80’s, finding Wilson (now portrayed by John Cusack) a damaged man under the control of manipulative psychotherapist Eugene Landy (a maniacal Paul Giamatti). Despite his fragile state, he strikes up a romantic relationship with model-turnedCadillac saleswoman, Melinda Ledbetter (the always great Elizabeth Banks). “Love & Mercy” is anchored by two wonderful performances from Dano and Cusack. Dano has the benefit of looking the part, bearing a striking resemblance to Wilson in the mid-60’s, but he finds a compelling balance between Wilson’s infectious creative energy and his emerging mental illness. Cusack has a tendency to sleepwalk through many of his recent roles, but here he captures Wilson’s fragile, almost childlike mindset while revealing enough of the man underneath to convince us why Ledbetter might actually find herself falling for him. This is only Pohlad’s second feature as director, after serving as producer on films like “12 Years a Slave,” “Brokeback Mountain,” and “Wild,” but it feels like the work of a longtime pro. More straightforward is “Saint Laurent,”

GOOD-BYE, MY LADY Sunday, June 7, 2 p.m.
Where cinema is an event. 7 days a week.
dryden.eastmanhouse.org Sponsored by
“This Lady is a Basenji dog . . . one of the most memorable canine performers in the history of film. The title relates to the touching and real relationship between the young orphan boy and the dog. . . . [It] is about an old man and a boy, both excellent as played by Walter Brennan . . . and Brandon de Wilde, in a relationship where both change as human beings. That is the film’s beautifully-conveyed leitmotif. It’s Americana at the root level, as basic as the purest Hemingway short stories or moments that Flaherty captured on film.” – Peter von Bagh (William A. Wellman, US 1956, 94 min., 16mm) Part of the series Dryden Kids and the William A. Wellman retrospective.
profile of fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent. Bonello’s script (co-written with Thomas Bidegain) follows the traditional rise-and-fall-and-rise-again trajectory, skipping over the designer’s childhood and early career to begin with the artist (portrayed by Gaspard Ulliel, “Hannibal Rising”) at the height of notoriety. Tracking roughly the decade from the mid-1960’s to the mid-70’s, the film jumps from event to event, with the through line being Laurent’s relationship with longtime lover and business partner, Pierre Bergé (Jérémie Renier), contrasted against the affair with Jacques de Bascher (Louis Garrel) that led him down the path of sex, drugs, and self-destruction. “Saint Laurent” does diverge from its biopic predecessors in avoiding the one-to-one explanations for their subject’s behaviors that makes satisfying viewing but is rather reductive to chronicling a life. In this case, Bonello seems to skip those sort of explanations altogether, never giving any sort of insight in Saint Laurent’s interior state. Ulliel’s bland performance doesn’t help, relying mostly on his wry smile and killer cheekbones to create a character. Throughout, Laurent comes across mostly as a blank slate. Visually sumptuous but dramatically inert, the film contains stylistic flourishes that occasionally liven things up, like a split-screen between Laurent’s late-60s’ designs and newsreel footage of events from the turbulent era. This style-oversubstance approach may be appropriate for the subject, but it makes for a less than compelling narrative. Still, things always look lovely thanks to cinematographer Josée Deshaies’s chilly, artfully arranged compositions. And the film does find success in documenting Saint Laurent’s creative process; the scenes following the fabrication methods behind the designs are some of the film’s best. Unfortunately, Bonello gets sidetracked from the more fascinating sartorial side of the story to focus on tedious hedonism.
WIFE! BE LIKE A ROSE! AKA KIMIKO Tuesday, June 9, 8 p.m. Premiering in New York in 1937, Kimiko is the first Japanese film to have a commercial run in the US. Kimiko is a young girl whose parents have separated. She sets out for her father’s house in the country, wanting to bring him back and reunite the family. Her plan falls apart, however, once she is confronted with her father’s mistress’s hospitality and genuine personality. Eastman House founding film curator James Card was acutely aware of the power of such a film, and appreciated Naruse as an overlooked true original in world cinema. (Tsuma yo bara no yô ni, Mikio Naruse, Japan 1935, 74 min., 35mm, Japanese w/subtitles) Part of the series The Legacy of James Card.

Constructed in the late 1920s by an unknown builder, this house has been home to the current owner for fifty years. The exterior of the house is a whimsical composition of curved slate roofs, irregular stone walls, stucco, and aged copper right out of a children’s fairytale. A flagstone path leads to the semicircular stoop with a large arched front door with decorative wrought iron hardware. A compact entry hall with elaborately inlaid quartersawn oak floors greets you and provides access to the living room, kitchen and main staircase. The large living room is lit by banks of leaded glass windows and features more inlaid oak floors,
The large family room, which occupies the original garage, is a 1960s time capsule with rough-hewn wood beams, knotty pine paneling, and the second of three wood burning fireplaces. A spiral staircase is the third point of access to the large basement that features a den with built-in bar and original brick fireplace. The second floor is accentuated by more inlaid oak floors and a plethora of more leaded glass windows. Three bedrooms, each with their own unique proportions, surround the central hall. The master contains his and hers closets surrounding a built-in window seat with storage. The rear bedroom is a long and well lit space with access to the attic. The third bedroom is cozy with immediate access to the built-in linen closet. The shared bathroom is a classic with basket-weave tile floors, and black and white subway tile walls.

The kitchen, while not original, is a stunning circa 1940s remodel with its tiled countertops, plentiful stained cabinet doors, curved corner cabinet, and iron hardware. A generous
