The project should be allowed to move forward. This development won’t be drawing tons of people from all over the region. Let’s not get carried away. The vast majority of customers live nearby and are already using Monroe Avenue. Otherwise, Whole Foods wouldn’t want to locate there.
The Whole Foods debate
Obviously this development is driven by the people who own the land. I think it’s just madness to put more traffic on this small stretch of Monroe. Why not put a Whole Foods in Victor at Eastview Mall? There’s lots of retail traffic, an upscale demographic, and significant existing roadways to handle an increased influx. Plus there’s no good grocery in the area. You can write the town or contact Whole Food’s regional office with your thoughts: 930 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, 07632.
Readers weigh in on whether Whole Foods is a good fit for Monroe Avenue. This is of course driven by greed. Obviously, developing the Whole Foods plaza is more lucrative than an Italian restaurant. Why would the Daniele family care about a traffic nightmare? Development is all about taking nature and building on it and paving it. If there is already a building on it, development is all about cramming more into a small space. It seems few can recognize when enough is enough. This section of Monroe Avenue has gradually become more and more unbearable. The city without the Inner Loop is much less appealing, and soon Monroe Ave will become another “must avoid” area. TOM JANOWSKI
Whole Foods is expensive. Starbucks is expensive. The retail stores located in this plaza will be similarly expensive. Most of the potential customers, those with high incomes, are already driving right by this location. Let’s say the traffic is backed up and hardly moving, if somebody turns into the parking lot, well, that’s one less car on Monroe Avenue. If someone goes from the lot to the street, then that’s one more car on the street. There’s no net change. Some people will not shop there until Monroe Avenue becomes less clogged; they’ll be doing some good. There just needs to be enough parking. The good news is that you can always dig down and build up for more parking.

A place to start on guns
Could we all take a moment to acknowledge that even hard-core opponents of gun control are OK with banning civilian ownership of antitank weapons; surfaceto-air missiles; chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons; incendiaries; landmines; and a host of other military technology? So there’s a line between “O.K. for civilians” and “Not O.K. for civilians.” Now that we’ve established that, can we please have a conversation about which side of the line machine guns should be on? Maybe with actual reasons why? MLSCOTT

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
Art, ads, and the image we show to the world It might seem like such a small thing, given the challenges this community faces. And the protests it has inspired might seem elitist. But the gradual removal of art from the Rochester airport – the Greater Rochester International Airport – is a big deal. And it’s not elitist to insist that the art be put back. Because for many visitors, the airport is their introduction to this region. What we show off in the airport is a reflection of what is important to us and what we think we are. Rochester is a community of world-class music and art, festivals and parks, science and photography, significant history. And some of our community leaders – including Rochester’s mayor and the University of Rochester’s president – have been emphasizing the importance of the arts and have been calling Rochester “a city of the arts.” You’d never know that, though, when you walk through the airport. Many other cities use their airports to make a statement about themselves. And they do it with art. The numerous artworks at Chicago’s O’Hare include an overhead neon light sculpture and a mural highlighting the city’s blues heritage. Nashville has abstract art, photos of Grand Ole Opry stars, and stages for year-round live music performances. Seattle’s airport showcases works by regional artists and by some of the biggest names in contemporary art. San Francisco, Austin, Atlanta… name a vibrant city, and you’ll find art in its airport. Airports like these contain plenty of advertising displays. But these communities have made sure that there’s abundant room for art. And Rochester? When the airport was expanded in the 1980’s, the design deliberately included prominent spaces for art. Only two artworks remain: a wonderful group of ceramic sculptures by Bill Stewart in a seating area at the head of Concourse B and a large glass work by Peter McGrain, which dominates part of the expanse of windows overlooking the runways. Otherwise, what visitors see are ads, plastered on seemingly every available surface. The reason, airport officials say, is that the ad revenue helps offset the cost of operating the airport. That’s a myopic, antiquated view of using a public space and an ill-informed view of art’s importance. This community is focusing a lot of effort right now on trying to attract tech firms here – companies that will hire bright, creative people. Those companies and those people want to settle in vibrant, progressive communities. What kind of community they
Rochester wants to attract tech firms that will hire bright, creative people. The impression we give them is important.” think we are is important. The impression we give visitors is important. Making a good impression, then, should be important to the airport’s overseers, the Monroe County Airport Authority. In fact, part of the authority’s mission, according to the airport’s website, is to make sure that the airport “promotes economic development, trade and tourism throughout the Greater Rochester area.” And, says the website: “The Authority will continue to optimize the use of airport facilities in order to enhance and expand business development and to foster economic growth in our region.” If I were the head of one of the region’s business and tourism groups or one of our universities, I’d schedule a talk with authority board members about the importance of image and the role the arts are playing in this region. We need to bring back the original art – and add more. Photos from the Jazz Festival, Fringe, and live theaters. Kiosks with recordings of actors reading the words of Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony. Photos of suffragist marches. Changing exhibits from museums. That’s the face we should be presenting to visitors at the airport. Instead, advertising reigns. Oh, except where we’ve made room for antique airplanes, an old control tower, and the Midtown Plaza clock. That’s the image we’re projecting. We’re always casting around for slogans for ourselves. Maybe we ought to adopt this one: Rochester: Stuck in the past. rochestercitynewspaper.com

Elia, commissioner of the State Education Department, concerning the status of its receivership schools. The two schools that officials are most concerned about are School 9 and Monroe High School. Receivership is the state education law that took effect in June 2015 and identified schools that are “struggling” to meet minimum standards and “persistently struggling” to meet those standards. The latter have been among the lowest performing in the state for years. They received
additional funding, but still failed to improve. The law gives school superintendents unprecedented authority to make sweeping changes in these schools, including an overhaul of staffing. But the timeframe is short: persistently struggling schools must show improvement in one year and struggling schools in two years. If sufficient progress isn’t made, Elia can intervene and appoint receivers, such as a university or college, to take control of the schools. continues on page 10
The union hasn’t been involved in city Democratic politics in the past, but members have become interested in issues such as the minimum wage and state education policy. And the union wants to make sure that it has a voice in the political process.
POLITICS | BY JEREMY MOULE
Education at center of party tussle It’s almost a regular occurrence: some Rochester Democrats accuse other Dems of trying to take over some of the city’s political committees. This time, an influential group of black politicians, the Black Political Caucus, is pointing the finger at the Rochester Teachers Association and the New York State United Teachers labor unions. Caucus spokesperson Willie Lightfoot, a county legislator, made the allegation in a June 24 press release. “A lot of the individuals should be more focused doing their jobs and doing them right than out here trying to get political,” he says. The committees are low level, but play a pivotal role in determining which candidates get the support of the county Democratic Committee. Takeover allegations usually surface during the lead up to City Council, school board, or mayoral races, so it’s no surprise that the accusation is happening now, since the mayor’s office is on the ballot in 2017. Though Lightfoot named the RTA in the press release, the union that is trying to get seats on committees is actually the Rochester Association of Paraprofessionals, which represents 600 teachers’ aides and
ROCHESTER
assistants. RAP is trying to get about 60 of its members onto two committees in southwest Rochester, says Angie Rivera, the union’s president. The effort is about awareness, not political gamesmanship, she says. But the caucus isn’t buying it, and still suspects that the RTA is involved, Lightfoot says. The Black Political Caucus, which includes State Assembly member David Gantt, current and former county legislators, and a few City Council members, says that the unions should back off, and that they should also stop offering union members who live in the city $15 an hour to canvass for committee candidates. NYSUT has supported RAP’s effort by providing a few thousand dollars for things such as canvassing, says NYSUT spokesperson Carl Korn. And RTA e-mailed members to let them know about the paid canvassing opportunity, he says. But that’s all. The paraprofessionals union started the project and is running it, Korn says. The dust-up could be a misunderstanding, but important subtext exists. The caucus includes prominent supporters of Mayor Lovely Warren,
who made a recent push to create a “receivership district” for struggling city schools. The proposal didn’t sit well with RTA leaders and was ultimately rejected by the State Education Department. Lightfoot says that the unions and teachers, many of whom live outside of the city, are responsible for poor student performance and low graduation rates in the city. And now the unions are trying to reduce the influence of parents and people of color in city Democratic politics, he says. “I think it’s all politically motivated, really,” Lightfoot says. “You have a mayor’s election coming up next year, you have some big elections coming up next year, and maybe they’re trying to position themselves to have some type of control.” But RAP isn’t trying take over the committees, Rivera says. The union hasn’t been involved in city Democratic politics in the past, but members have become interested in issues such as the minimum wage and state education policy, she says. And the union wants to make sure that it has a voice in the political process, she says. Most of the union’s members are city residents and are African American

or Latino, says Rivera, who lives in the 19th Ward. “We live in this community, so I think that in order for us to get a better understanding of the community, we need to get involved and have leaders and politicians that are RAP members,” she says.

JULY 6-12, 2016
The Eastman Dental Dispensary, a former dental hospital and school, has seen its share of blood, real and fake. The historic building on East Main Street has been vacant since 1977, except for seasonal use as a haunted house. An early order of business in the $20.5 million conversion of the building into a senior living community was to remove the black paint, spread floor to ceiling in some rooms, and fake blood from the walls, both left over from the haunted house, says Josh Haley, regional leader of Home Leasing, one of the companies involved in the project. Tenants should start moving into Eastman Gardens, which is the dispensary’s new name, this month. The three-story complex will have 52 mostly onebedroom units for seniors aged 55 and above. All of the apartments are adaptable so that residents can “age in place,” and nine of the units are fully accessible for seniors; the latter units include lower counters and grab rails in the bathroom and bedroom. Every apartment will have pull chords in the bathroom and bedroom that residents can use in case of emergency. And each apartment has a small video screen mounted near the door so that residents can see who is coming to visit them. The living units range from 600 to 900 square feet of space, with the average being about 750. Many of the apartments have high ceilings and large windows that let in lots of light. The building has been under construction for about a year. “We’re creating units based on the layout of the original building,” says Sarah Hunt, Home Leasing’s vice president of property management. “It makes for very unique units.” Rents will range from $625 a month for the affordable units to $900 a month for the nine market-rate units. Utilities are included. The Italian Renaissance-style brick building, instantly recognizable on East Main in the Marketview Heights neighborhood, was built by George Eastman in 1917. Hunt says that Home Leasing has been careful to honor the building’s historic character and its place in Rochester’s cultural memory. The former children’s waiting room on the first floor, right inside the East Main Street entrance, will be converted into a community room, for example. Local artists will recreate the nursey rhyme-themed mural and wood carvings that used to be on the room’s walls. And the distinctive art-tile mosaics outside the building’s Main Street entrance have either been preserved or, in the case of two that could not be saved, replaced. The complex will also have a first floor fitnesslaundry room — located in a former recovery room for tonsillectomy patients — and an outdoor gathering area with picnic tables, raised garden beds, and grills. Home Leasing talked to former employees of the Dental Dispensary and reviewed old photographs to learn about the building and to match historic details, Hunt says. The building is listed on the State and National Register of Historic Places and is a City of Rochester landmark. The Landmark Society named the Dental Dispensary one of its “Five to Revive” in 2013, making it a priority for preservation and rehabilitation. The project has received funding assistance from the City of Rochester and the state.

BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS FORENSIC CLEANING COMPANIES SPARE FAMILIES A GRISLY TASK AFTER THE DEATH OF A LOVED ONE COVER STORY | BY MELISSA LANG
Warning: Photo may be disturbing
Joe Sturnick, a retired captain with the Rochester Police Department, says that he always knew when the blood beneath his feet wasn’t fresh; that it masked many more layers below it, sticky and seeping like ink into the floor. And he says that he knew that the smell — tinny like a fistful of pennies — would linger on his clothes, and in his mind. “How do you really clean up something like that?” he says. “Try to imagine, you’re on your hands and knees, scrubbing your deceased loved one’s blood out of the carpet.” Twenty years ago, that was what families did because they had no choice. Today, the growing field of forensic cleanup spares families the trauma of such a task, tackling the grim messes left behind by murder, suicide, accidents, and bodies undiscovered until well after death. Aftermath Services on St. Paul Boulevard in Rochester is one of hundreds of forensic cleaning firms now operating in cities across the country. Established in 1996 and headquartered in Illinois, Aftermath was among the first of its kind, drafting the industry’s unofficial guidelines for dealing with issues of employee protection, waste disposal, and cross-contamination. Rochester is one of Aftermath’s 32 locations nationwide, including four in New York State, all serving as dispatch centers for cleanup crews available around the clock. Aftermath also offers courses for companies new to the field; but because the industry bears no specialized regulation or certification process, such training isn’t mandatory. It is considered essential by most veterans of the profession, however. “A housecleaning or janitorial company will sometimes offer this sort of service as an aside,” says Tina Bao, Aftermath’s senior vice president of marketing. “We do have a general idea of what’s happened at a scene before going in, but in a lot of ways we’re walking into the unknown. We need to be prepared and properly equipped.” The work is meticulous, even hazardous, she says, and it requires knowledge about everything from the containment of blood and infectious disease to lengthy structural renovations costing tens of thousands of dollars. “It’s a complicated field, and a complicated job,” Bao says. The sights and smells can be disturbing to even the most experienced workers, although they seem to agree 8 CITY

that far more taxing are their interactions with people suddenly thrust into grief. Sometimes, too, the scene that has been so blighted by violence and tragedy is located in a client’s home, and the family is anxious about having to go back there. “But we often hear from clients that being able to walk back into their homes went a long way toward continuing their healing process,” Bao says. A thorough cleanup can also prevent physical illness from compounding a family’s psychological ordeal. No matter how minute, a missed bead of bodily fluid or an overlooked bit of flesh no bigger than a dime can become a breeding ground for germs, insects, mold, and stench.
“You have to follow the blood and get every drop,” says Matt Ferro, owner of Kleen Scene, a four-man forensiccleaning company started in 1998. “A high-powered firearm will send blood, bone, and brain matter clear into the next room. We have to disinfect books, CD’s, electronics. We’ve had to wipe down dishes.” After leaving the military, Ferro began his second career when he bought the business from its founder in 2004. Based in Buffalo, Kleen Scene frequently serves the Rochester area. “We take comfort in knowing that when [the homeowners] go back, there won’t be any trace of what happened, and they can start fresh,” Ferro says. “We are
“TRY TO IMAGINE, YOU’RE ON YOUR HANDS AND KNEES, SCRUBBING YOUR DECEASED LOVED ONE’S BLOOD OUT OF THE CARPET.”

fully plugged in with the families from start to finish, and we’re there if they want to get some of that pent-up emotion out.” Client Millie Winston says that she was grateful for the compassion that Ferro describes after her brother, Gerard Samuels, killed himself in 2014. Winston, the eldest of seven siblings, was responsible for emptying and selling her brother’s house in the South Wedge after his death. “I never could bring myself to set foot in his house after he died,” Winston says. “I couldn’t bear to be where I could maybe smell his cologne.” Samuels was battling depression and then lost his wife and his job in the same month, Winston says. His finances suffered, and he feared a foreclosure was looming, she says. He left behind a note, boxed his belongings, put out extra bowls of food for his elderly cat, and then he shot himself with a shotgun that his family didn’t know he owned, Winston says. She and her family consider the aid rendered by forensic cleaners a gift of mercy, she says. Most people working in forensic cleanup didn’t come in
cold; they have backgrounds as first responders, starting their careers in the military or in health care. Salary varies by geography and from company to company. Some cleanup companies hire crews on an as-needed basis and may supplement a base salary with per-diem compensation, while others, including Aftermath and Kleen Scene, employ full-time staffs. Firms are hired by families or by business owners when the job brings crews to a victim’s work or to a public place. Companies are referred on the scene, usually by law enforcement officers who carry lists of forensic cleaning firms and their contact information.
Not too long ago, cleaning up after a death was the responsibility of the family. PROVIDED PHOTO KLEEN SCENE
Locally, Rochester Police Department’s Victim Services, under the coordination of Patricia Huntington-Segal, helps arrange state-funded compensation for cleanup efforts; each client is eligible for up to $2,500 of assistance. Most homeowners’ insurance will cover the expense. Workers assess a scene in person before offering a price quote, and the cost of a job depends on its size and scope. It ranges from several hundred dollars into the many thousands.
Crews wear full biohazard suits and respirators to deal with everything from fingerprint dust to viral agents. And some companies, including Aftermath, offer free psychological counseling to their employees. Former RPD captain Sturnick, who now teaches criminal justice at Monroe Community College, says that he’s not surprised to learn about the free counseling. He carries mental pictures of many of the scenes that he investigated, he says. Some of the images revisit fleetingly, he says, but some of the stories haunt him. “In general, I was stunned by man’s inhumanity toward man,” he says. “The things people can do to each other. And I saw the trauma brought to those left behind.” High-caliber gunshot wounds to the head are the worst, scattering skull fragments, brain matter, teeth, Sturnick says. Fires reduce victims to alien-like figures, and decomposition summons flies and inflates corpses to grotesque proportions, he says. “We would do our best to spare family members sights like that,” Sturnick says. “They want to hold the person. We always tried to prepare them: ‘Do you want that etched into your memory?’” While the public has developed fairly sophisticated knowledge of forensics thanks to the proliferation of crime dramas, documentaries, and podcasts, they’re still unfamiliar with the step that comes after a body is found and a scene processed. Most are surprised when they’re told that scene cleanup was once the sole responsibility of loved ones, and not of those in some official capacity, Kleen Scene’s Ferro says. Two decades ago, the field of forensic cleanup was practically nonexistent, according to a 2012 report by continues on page 10 rochestercitynewspaper.com

If that happens, the ramifications in Rochester could be serious. The City School District’s new superintendent would walk straight into a crisis only days after being hired. And it might also reignite Mayor Lovely Warren’s interest in some kind of intervention by City Hall into the district. But RCSD spokesperson Chip Partner says that officials are cautiously optimistic about Monroe and School 9. The district has some data showing that School 9 and Monroe are meeting the standards agreed on by the district and the SED, but that more data is needed, he says. Ultimately, the decision rests with the commissioner, Partner says. Fourteen of the Rochester district’s schools went on the receivership list in 2015, with East High School, Charlotte High School, Monroe High School, and School 9 considered most urgently in need of improvement. East is under the University of Rochester’s management as its educational partnership organization, which is one of the options that the SED allows to turn receivership schools around. Closing them is another option, which is what former Rochester superintendent Bolgen Vargas decided to do with Charlotte; the school closes for good this month. That left School 9 and Monroe for school officials, primarily Interim Superintendent Linda Cimusz, to grapple with and to show Elia that progress has been made. Both schools have serious hurdles, starting with high poverty; 94 percent of the students at School 9 are eligible for free or reduced meals. And they have a disproportionate number of English language learners, which has made improving reading proficiency and improving ELA and math test scores a top priority. Monroe has to improve results on Regents exams, as well as its graduation rate. But at least some of the school’s problems stem from a revolving door of principals. “I hope we’ve made the objectives for both schools,” says Van White, president of the Rochester school board. “But we only had to meet minimal goals, and that’s not enough here. We’re going to have to make dramatic changes to both schools.”

CNN.com. Such businesses may be more commonplace today, but public knowledge of them is still limited: a reality perhaps based in the discretion that’s characteristic of the companies’ owners. Rarely does a forensic-cleaning firm advertise, Aftermath’s Bao says; they rely instead on websites, word of mouth, and on-scene referrals. Client anonymity is fiercely guarded, she says. The public’s squeamishness about the nature of forensic cleanup work can make for awkward cocktail party introductions, and even, as Ferro learned shortly after buying Kleen Scene, a bit of backlash. Some accused him of sensationalizing real-life gore for the sake of sales after he rented a billboard to market his services, for example, he says. He says that he hoped that it was tastefully done, but that he got calls from people who wanted to know if it was a joke. “The common philosophy in this field is, never do we wish to, in any way, put someone’s tragedy on display,” he says.

Irondequoit has volunteered for a halfdozen area EMT agencies over nearly three decades and says that she knows what it was like before forensic cleaning companies existed. She says that she always felt wrenched by the thought of loved ones seeing what was left behind: the visual and olfactory artifacts of violence and terror. “So I usually tried not to imagine what that was like for the deceased’s family and friends, having to replace the way they wanted to remember someone with what they wouldn’t be able to forget,” she says. “It was like a kick to the gut after they’d already been knocked to the ground.” Empathy is a common trait of those “called” to the field of forensic cleaning, Kleen Scene’s Ferro says, but they must also learn to keep a clinical focus on the task at hand; they risk early burnout if they become personally adhered to people’s pain. Chris Craig, an Aftermath supervisor, says that’s easier said than done. “There are always scenes that come to mind, but it’s not often the physical violence that stays with you,” he says. “It is the emotional aftereffects: the reactions of the parent, the sibling, the spouse that hits you the hardest. Heartbreak is the most constant element we see in our jobs.” Some names in this story have been changed.

URBAN ACTION
Correcting ourselves The misspelled word “paletes” ended up on the cover of our June 29 issue. The online version of the story “Artful palates” was corrected.
This is tobacco marketing. Kids who see it are more likely to smoke.
It’s a fact: Research shows that kids who shop at stores with tobacco marketing two or more times a week are 64% more likely to start smoking than their peers who don’t.

Rochester’s craft brewing scene has been expanding rapidly over the last few years, especially after the New York State Farm Brewing Bill passed. Through this law, New York has spurred development of new breweries in our area, and now you can find one a short drive away from just about wherever you live in Monroe County. Swiftwater Brewing opened in the South Wedge neighborhood in early 2015, and it’s quickly became a staple on Mt. Hope Avenue. The brewery offers flights (four 4-ounce pours for $7), and I sampled eight of the 11 beers on tap to try and get a decent picture of Swiftwater’s brewing style as it sits after a year and a half in operation.
My favorite of the group was Swiftwater’s IPA 9, which is now being bottled. What caught me right away was the hints of grapefruit and tropical fruit on the nose — it reminded me of one of my favorite beers, Sip of Sunshine from Lawson’s Finest Liquids. The beer’s balance between the light malt, medium resiny middle, and a smooth lingering bitterness at the end all came through. The barrel-aged sour was my second favorite with its apple notes — developed from aging in Apple Country Spirits apple brandy barrels — and a medium sour profile. The other sour beers (cherry and dry hopped) both lacked notable sour characteristics, although I did appreciate their full fruitiness and the light hop flavors respectively. Both the Thai pale ale and the citra pale ale had too much grain profile for me, but the Thai ale’s ginger and lime came through nicely with a bit more bitterness than I was expecting. The first bit of food I tasted was a baguette ($6; comes with one spread) fresh out of the oven with a crispy crust, tight tender crumb, and a bit of everything bagel seasoning. This
is what most restaurants hope their bread program could be. There were a few different ways to enjoy the loaf — Sriracha hummus, white bean spread, or as part of a cheese plate. Both spreads were delightful: laden with olive oil, lightly salted, and the white bean popped with fresh herbs. The cheese plate ($12) subbed the sauces for three cheeses (manchego, a light smoky bleu, and Murcia al vino), house candied ginger pecans, and pickles. From top to bottom, this was a well thought out plate and one worth going back to. The Chuck Burger ($12) was an admirable effort, featuring local beef that streamed juices as I bit into it. All the details were here: a bun toasted and spread with a Chipotle aioli, aged cheddar, crunchy fried jalapeños, and the first truly ripe tomatoes of the season. Even the dill potato salad that came along with it was on point. (I’m not usually a fan of creamy potato salad, but this version’s fresh dill, carrot, and onion added enough intrigue to make it worthwhile.) A Stromboli ($10) filled with McCann’s ham, soppressata, mozzarella cheese, and herbs was on the heavier side but no less well
executed. It was on the salty edge, super meaty, and much better than a standard pizzeria filling when it comes to quality of meats. The sauce was acidic and a touch under-seasoned, but the combination of the richness of the filling and the sauce was spot on. The crust was crunchy all around, sprinkled with salt on top and had just enough chew. The berry rhubarb crumble ($6) was a delightful way to end my last visit. Strawberry, blueberry, and rhubarb were cooked down to a jam-like consistency, covered with a crunchy oat crumble, and vanilla ice cream came on top. This dish was really well balanced between sweetness, creaminess, and brightness. Swiftwater is making food that isn’t just good for a brewery; the small menu shines here with seasonal ingredients and well thought out dishes that stand completely on their own.

Western New York connection aside (founding bassist and vocalist Rob Barrett went on to play in Buffalo’s Cannibal Corpse), Solstice’s first two records, 1992’s “Solstice” and 1995’s “Pray,” are true death metal sleeper hits.

Not too long ago, singer-songwriter Eric Carlin had a bunch of songs banging and clattering around in his head, begging for some permanence. So he assembled The Flood with a team of killer musicians who are the Rochester music scene’s equivalent to Murder, Inc., and marched into the studio. Now I don’t mean the music is violent, but who wants to debate whether or not Kurt Johnson is a killer guitarist? (I once saw him play the pedal steel with an Allen wrench, for Chrissake.) Or that Tony Gallicchio doesn’t slay ’em with the Hammond M3? But Johnson’s soaring tone and flight are anchored by Gallicchio’s earthy runs, fills, and picturesque chords on “The Flood.” The whole self-titled album is a keen display of all its musicians’ sepia and Technicolor back-and-forth as it renders Carlin’s songs immortal. The song selection is consistent despite assorted sorties under the jam umbrella and all the styles huddled there under. Other than the protracted length of some of the cuts and the group’s easy going lope, the jam references end there. This band is a flood of influences as it name suggests and the album proves. — BY FRANK DE BLASE
King Chro & The Talismen “King Chro & The Talismen” Self-released facebook.com/kingchro
You can catch these cats on stage at this year’s Corn Hill Arts Festival, unless you read this, drop everything you’re doing, and decide to right away pick up King Chro & The Talismen’s self-titled helping of bombastic polyrhythmic boogie and bop right. Play it loud, but hold onto your spine. This Oswego band packs in a lot of groove with some interestingly percussive and bluesy guitar (where the rough-hewn guitar chop of the left hand emits focused notes into the air in fiery bursts and blasts) and the vocals pair up as a sort of gang vocals rather than simple harmony. Although I recommended you get the lead out and see them or pick up the CD with a quickness, don’t sweat it because King Chro & The Talismen are gonna be around for a while. I got a feeling… — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Music The overall sound of the orchestra, the repertoire, the orchestra’s relation to its audience, etc. Ward Stare: I had multiple goals,
the most important of which was developing a relationship with my orchestra and our sound together. But I also wanted to develop the relationship between the community and me, and with the organization as a whole. I was thinking about breaking down barriers, bringing new people in, getting them excited about classical music again. And I think we did pretty well. You’ve probably seen the announcement about the RPO’s increased ticket sales. And contrary to national trends, our subscriptions sales are up. People are coming back who had stopped subscribing, and I think that’s fantastic. I wanted to try expanding the repertoire by including pieces the orchestra hadn’t done for a while. For example, Saint-Saëns’s “Bacchanale” — everybody knows it, and it’s a great piece, but when I went back in the orchestra’s history, I found it had not been performed since the 1940’s. When Music Director Ward Stare just completed his first year of programming with the Rochester Philharmonic I saw that I said, “We’re bringing that Orchestra. The RPO begins its 2016-17 season on September 15 and 17. PHOTO BY SUZY GORMAN back.” Also the Albert Roussel “Bacchus et Ariane” suite, which was brand new to the RPO. Orchestrally speaking, things really started to get interesting after January: We did the new Aaron Kernis flute concerto with Marina Piccinini; two new pieces by young American increased considerably last year, totaling Rochester composers [Patrick Harlin’s “Rapture” $1.68 million. Philharmonic Orchestra The orchestra broadened its repertoire and Stephanie Berg’s “Ravish and Mayhem”]; and two Bartók piano FOR MORE ON THE ORCHESTRA, under its Rochester-born conductor; concertos with Yuja Wang, one of VISIT RPO.ORG classic and new American works, which is hardly ever played.

For a longer interview with from the orchestra, which played pieces we’ve done that the string section Stare, look for this article online at outstandingly this year, as well as from sounds fuller. [Former RPO Music rochestercitynewspaper.com. the RPO audience: The organization Director] Christopher Seaman told me, recently announced its first increase in “Wow, the sound is really opening up; City: Can you talk about your goals and subscription sales since 2007-08, and I can feel it. It’s your orchestra now. It’s expectations as you came into the job? also announced that single ticket sales no longer my orchestra.”
Cultivating a sound
How does the orchestra’s musical identity evidence itself in repertoire? For example, I was struck by the number of times Samuel Barber appeared this season, and I wonder if you thought his kind of romantic lyricism paralleled the way the orchestra was coming together.
All those things. I’ve always loved Barber’s music, and I’ve conducted it often. And in its rich texture and its detail, it does play to the RPO’s strengths as well as to things we want to work on. His First Symphony, for example, does everything a Mahler symphony does in 20 minutes — it’s a complete workout for the orchestra. Are there any composers in next season’s lineup whom you feel are underrepresented?
Well, next season is about American music — not just in the American Music Festival, but throughout the season. We want to highlight the diversity in American music, from Charles Ives, which is of course very old, to works having their premieres. Other countries have been melting pots, but I think American music is more diverse than any national genre. This orchestra can play a sensational pops concert or a great jazz concert, and I thought that ability went handin-glove with American music. In looking at American composers you’ve programmed, such as Barber and Alan Hovhaness, I’m sure you’re aware that many of their works were originally performed and recorded here in Rochester.
Absolutely. If you look at the list of artists who have played in Rochester over the years, and the number of premieres, it’s astounding. Rochester was an epicenter of activity in American music for a long time. Do you see this festival as an annual thing or a regular feature of the RPO’s programming?
I don’t think we’ll continue with a three-weekend festival each year; we have only so many weeks a year and there are lots of things I want to do. American music is near and dear to my heart, so it will always be part of my programming. When I saw what a great job the orchestra did with the Kernis flute concerto, I knew they were ready to tackle another really hard American
piece like the John Adams “Doctor Atomic Symphony,” or the Copland Third Symphony. I hadn’t hesitated before, but that was a nice affirmation. I think by the end of the season, the orchestra really coalesced on a new level — in the core rep like “Ein Heldenleben,” then building on that in another difficult piece, the Rachmaninoff “Symphonic Dances,” and then in the Kernis and the Bartók concertos, and the new American works. For next season, you’ve also scheduled an opera in concert, “La Bohème.” I know you’re also an experienced opera conductor. Do you plan to do this regularly?
A couple of years ago, you’ll remember, we did “La Traviata” for one night only. The demand for opera in Rochester is strange: There’s a small group that loves it and will go to see everything, and then there’s a large audience that doesn’t know much about it and tends to stay away. We ended up with 1,500 or 1,700 people, which we thought was very good, and the audience loved it. So I decided, this is something we’ll do regularly and we’ll plan ahead from here on out. We’d received funds specifically for opera and dance collaborations, but we couldn’t find a date that worked in ’15-16, so we made sure there was a slot in ’16-17. We want to ask about your working relationship with RPO President and CEO Ralph Craviso. What’s the dynamic like between financial goals and creative goals? Where is that moving?
I’m really pleased to be working with Ralph and pleased he renewed his commitment to us. He is the architect of our five-year financial plan. I take care of the artistic side, being mindful of fiscal responsibility, and he takes care of the operational and financial side. Artistically I think we’re doing great; the financial side needs a lot more work, though I am very happy with our progress there, too. And I think our success artistically buoys our finances. My job is to make the music work to reach those goals.

ROCK | BOB DYLAN
It goes without saying that Bob Dylan’s influence on modern music is enormous. Dylan didn’t invent folk (“Mr. Tambourine Man”), or protest songs (“A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall”), or maybe bizarrely, even hip-hop (“Subterranean Homesick Blues”), but he certainly laid down a blueprint for others to follow. Volumes exist that chronicle the contributions of this legendary figure. Suffice to say, it’s a big deal when Bob Dylan and his band hit your town for a summer tour. Mavis Staples opens the show.

ROCK | LOST COUSINS
On its soulful debut EP, “Not Now What We Were,” Kingston, Ontario’s Lost Cousins prove itself to be seasoned indie rock scholars. Crooning Local Natives-inspired vocals coast over sidewinding guitar leads and organ bursts that would feel right at home on a Foals record. While Lost Cousins wear its influences on its sleeve, the music contained on “Not Now What We Were” never comes across as anything less than unique and inspired. The track “Can You Make Me Feel Blue?” sounds like Otis Redding performing at the Back to the Future prom and “Strange Dreams” is so infectious that its “Careless Whisper” sax line actually feels cool, which is no small feat. Lost Cousins plays with Blue Falcon and Mela on Thursday, July 7, at the Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Avenue. 7:30 p.m. $5. bugjar.com; lostcousinsband.com. — BY ALEXANDER JONES

Graffiti created by a group of friends in 1981 to protest the reinstatement of draft registration has remained on the CSX bridge that passes above Penfield Road in Brighton. PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLAIN
A conscientious caper [ ART HISTORY ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
While Defacer Eraser, Rochester’s graffiti removal operation, buffs walls soon after they’re marked up, graffiti tends to stick around on trains and other railroad property. Railroads tend choose to invest in structural maintenance rather than cosmetic considerations. And this is why, for 35 years, the well-known “NO DRAFT” graffiti, accompanied by a peace sign and the word “peace,” has remained on the CSX railroad bridge that straddles a dip in Penfield Road at the edge of Brighton. “We focus our resources on the structural integrity of our infrastructure,” says CSX spokesperson Rob Doolittle. “We do not emphasize the aesthetics, unless something is patently offensive, which we try to take care of as quickly as we can.” Doolittle defines offensive graffiti as profanity or slurs. The anti-draft graffiti isn’t a uniformly unwelcome sight. It’s been repeatedly shared over social media by those who think it’s an important artifact of local history. In some cases, it’s been used as a stumble-upon teaching tool. “I grew up around the corner from it,” says musician Brian Barrett. “I remember asking my parents what a ‘draft’ was because of it.” Often assumed to be a relic of the Vietnam era, the all-caps plea was actually created by a circle of friends in the wee hours of a 1981 summer morning. The group took 18 CITY JULY 6-12, 2016
turns painting the letters by lowering one another from the bridge using rope harnesses. While they were painting, a police cruiser spotted them, flashed its lights, and the group scattered into the night. They returned a day or so later to finish. The graffiti was “triggered by the draft coming back on the books in the spring of 1980,” says arts activist and developer Doug Rice, who was part of the group of young vandals. The draft had been eliminated by 1975 as the Vietnam War limped toward an end. But in response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, President Jimmy Carter signed a July 1980 reinstatement of Selective Service registration for all 18- to 26-year-old male citizens — nearly four million young men — born on or after January 1, 1960. Musician and massage therapist Frank Boehm was one of the graffitists, and provided the paint and equipment for the operation. Born in December 1959, Boehm was exempt, but many of his friends were not. “I felt guilty, because I missed it by about 10 days,” he says. “It was a big deal for us. No one wanted to fight.” Though the US wasn’t currently engaged in a war, Vietnam was a fresh wound on a lot of young minds, and America’s aggressive foreign policy was ever-present. People were understandably on edge. “For me, the tone was largely a feeling of powerlessness,” Boehm says.
Another member of the group, a teacher, writer, and musician currently based in San Francisco named Stardust — then known as Willie Doherty — was a freshman at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where ze helped form Mass Open Resistance, an organized support and legal aid group that constructed a nationwide network for conscientious objectors who refused to register for the draft. During Stardust’s time at MIT, an early version of the Solomon Amendment was passed, withholding federal financial aid from eligible men who did not register, and ze had to figure out how to fund the remaining semesters. While home visiting, Stardust and others who had attended Penfield High School together were discussing the political climate, and cooked up the caper. The bridge seemed like a high-impact spot for a statement. A few friends were stationed at the light down the road and would clap if a car approached. They didn’t expect the graffiti to last this long. “We were sure it was going to be sandblasted or erased within the next few days,” Boehm says. Neither did they detect a buzz about the graffiti in the following days or years. “There was no social media at the time; it was a whole different world,” Boehm says. Behind nearby Temple Sinai are fields where young people would hold their own congress among concrete drainage tubes. After school, after chores and other responsibilities, they’d meet up and talk until dusk. The discussion would sometimes turn to who could be drafted. “The whole mood of teenagers these days is different, they’re all sitting around in their houses with their computers and cell phones,” Boehm says. “But the bigger picture, the world’s problems, haven’t changed.” The “NO DRAFT” graffiti was created when the reinstatement of the draft seemed possible. Today, registration is still compulsory, and warfare is perpetual; it’s not hard to imagine that conscription could return. Congress has recently approved some upgrades of the legislation to include women in compulsory registration. If the law is passed, girls who are currently 16 years old would be the first wave of registrants when the law goes into effect. By and large, these teens are not politically active, and cannot participate in forming laws that will directly impact them. “They’re targeting people who are underage and may not understand,” Stardust says. “I think they’re counting on not having opposition from adult women who might know better,” and who the law won’t apply to. “What we need is a larger movement of people, adult people of all genders, opposing these policies.”

When he’s not penning columns or chasing down stories for the Democrat and Chronicle, it’s safe to assume reporter David Andreatta is whittling away at a theater project of some sort. Andreatta has spent a fair share of time on local stages, but he’s also a prolific playwright — good enough to make Geva Theatre Center take notice, in fact, and help him develop a script. His latest endeavor is “The Presstitutes,” a play about a Western New York newspaper staff that’s undergoing the transition to digital, and a dark horse politician, each “striving for relevancy.” While the story is set in Buffalo, Rochester audiences can expect that Andreatta will draw on what he knows. The play features a local cast directed by Jeff Moon and is presented by Everyone’s Theatre Company. “The Presstitutes” runs Thursday, July 7, through Sunday, July 10, at MuCCC, 142 Atlantic Avenue. 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday; 1 p.m. on Sunday. $15 advance ($20 at the door) general admission; $10 advance ($15 at the door) for students and seniors. 727-1373; muccc.org. — BY LEAH STACY

SPECIAL EVENT | ROCHESTER PRIDE 2016
Rochester’s annual Pride festivities are a time when the LGBTQ and allied communities can come together to have fun, celebrate our diversity, and maybe have a few cocktails while we’re at it. The recent events of this year have showed exactly why pride events are still necessary today, and they’ve also proved why it’s more important than ever that we move forward in solidarity. New York State’s largest pride festival north of New York City, ROC Pride brings with it eight full days of fabulous events. The celebration kicks off Friday, July 8, with a party at Ontario Beach Park, starting at 5 p.m. Things continue with the Pride Games on Sunday, July 10, and include a 5K run, and golf, tennis, and volleyball tournaments. The popular Pride Parade will be held on Saturday, July 16, at 1 p.m., and the Pride Festival — promising games, activities, acoustic music, and other entertainment — continues over Saturday, July 16, and Sunday, July 17 at Cobbs Hill Park. Tickets to the festival are $10 on Saturday and $5 on Sunday. A weekend pass option that includes both days is available for $10 (through July 13 only). Other planned events are a “Sassy in the Southwedge” networking happy hour; film screenings; The Art Walk at the Fest; and a number of other events throughout the week.

THEATER | “THE WEDDING SINGER”
When Danny Hoskins became Blackfriars Theatre’s artistic director last summer, one of his goals was to develop educational programming at the theater to train the next generation of artists. Hoskins and his team have recently launched Blackfriars Theatre’s Summer Intensive, a program for rising high school juniors through newly graduated college seniors. Over the past few months, the group has undergone actor training, ensemble building skills, and performance experience during the rehearsal process for “The Wedding Singer,” which opens Friday, July 8. The young cast will perform the classic story of an aspiring rock star moonlighting as a wedding singer after he’s left at the altar. (The show, which is set in 1985 New Jersey, is based on the 1998 film starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore.) “The Wedding Singer” runs Friday, July 8, through Sunday, July 17, at Blackfriars Theatre, 795 East Main Street. Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m.; Sundays at 2 p.m.; Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 7:30 p.m. $34.50 general; $20 students; $31.50 seniors. 454-1260; blackfriars.org. — BY LEAH STACY College Planning Seminar.

Rochester well ahead of its official US premiere. The film chronicles the story of the Maccabi Tel Aviv basketball team’s unprecedented run during the 1977 European Championship Tournament. Led by captain Tal Brody, the team’s success came at a time when the sport was dominated by Italy, Spain, and the Soviet Union. Director Dani Menkin will be on hand for a talkback after the film. (Thursday, July 14, 6 p.m., at The Little) Written and sensitively directed by Natalie Portman, “A Tale of Love and Darkness” is a somber tale based on the memoir by acclaimed Israeli author Amos Oz.

Traveling across Israel, Solomonov consults a host of experts and chefs to pinpoint what characterizes “Israeli cuisine,” or considering the country’s relative youth, if there even is one. What he finds is an intermingling of cultures and foods that’s reflective of the country itself, and as one Palestinian chef notes, “Food makes peace.” That hopeful outlook resonates throughout the tour, bringing with it an unexpected sense of empathy and insight.

Shady in Charlotte
68 Holcroft Road West If someone asked you to close your eyes and picture Lake Avenue, you might conjure up images of grand houses and the Maplewood Rose Garden. Or you might recall sunny days and playing volleyball at the beach. But tucked away between the far ends of one of Rochester’s earliest and most important thoroughfares, is a quaint community of close-knit neighbors and well cared for homes representing a variety of mid-century architectural styles. Located in Charlotte between Holy Sepulchre and Turning Point Park, Holcroft Road West is a sunny cul-de-sac that culminates in a 1953 ranch home nestled into a secluded, wooded lot. This freshly painted home is surrounded by old-growth trees and bordered to the west by a lush green ravine. At 1,300 square feet, the home provides more living space than the average ranch—while still offering the accessibility and open floor plan that empty nesters and first-time homebuyers will appreciate.

The home’s spacious living room is perfect for entertaining guests. Sunshine streams through glass panels in the original, midcentury front door and a large bow window that serves as the focal point of the room. Adjacent to the living room is a sizable home office area featuring custom wood cabinetry and a generous workspace. The kitchen at 68 Holcroft is true to the period with vintage white cupboards, a practical breakfast peninsula, and a stunning antique Florence double stove. However, if the new

owners prefer a more modern kitchen, the area is easily large enough to accommodate a 21st century renovation. The kitchen also provides access to a screened breezeway that opens up to the wooded backyard. The yard has a small patio (that could readily be upgraded with the addition of a large deck), an outside storage space—and frequent visits from local deer who frequently graze near the shaded wood line. After a day of relaxing in the spacious yard, the new owners can retire to one of the home’s three bedrooms, all of which retain their original hardwood floors. Each room provides views of the surrounding nature and substantial closet space. The hallway that connects the bedrooms also boasts hardwood floors along with a built-in linen closet. The bathroom features a shower, bath, and a newer vanity. The home has a one-car garage off the breezeway and a paved driveway. The basement houses the washer and dryer, an open half bath, and has potential for additional living and storage space. A unique home in a peaceful residential neighborhood, 68 Holcroft Road West has recently been reduced to $84,900—including all appliances. To learn more about 68 Holcroft Road West or to schedule a visit, contact Doug Forken of Nothnagle Realtors at 585-698-2056. by Lisa Feinstein Lisa is Vice President for Institutional Advancement at The Strong and an avid fan of historic architecture and neighborhoods.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD
Longtime Recurring Theme Peaks
In May, an apparently devout woman named Katy Vasquez of Winter Park, Florida, posted a sincerely written entry on Facebook (and told Huffington Post in an interview) that she had just seen a “sign from God” — a cross — as a smudge in her infant’s soiled diaper. “I prayed to God for a sign that everything would be OK,” she gushed to the reporter. “It might not be the prettiest sign, but he put it where he knew I’d see it.” (Hence, News of the Weird retires the recurring theme begun in the 1980s with Jesus in a rust stain on an abandoned refrigerator.)
Fine Points of the Law — To their great surprise, Sophie
Scafidi and friends, on an outing in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire, in June, learned that a man spying on and photographing them through a camera lens hidden in a Gatorade bottle painted black was not violating any law. Although the lens was rigged to the man’s phone, which contained beach photos, including some of children, police informed Scafidi that even surreptitious photography in sleazy circumstances, as long as done on public property, was legal — and that the only law broken in the incident was by the person who snatched the “camera” to show police. — A court in Canberra, Australia, found Wesley King not guilty of a 2014 burglary despite his DNA’s having been found at the crime scene — on underpants containing
his fresh feces. Wrote Chief Justice Helen Murrell in June: There is a “reasonable possibility” that the burglar was someone else who was wearing unwashed underwear that had previously been worn by the accused. (Thus, she found King not guilty of all charges.) — In June, a federal appeals court revived Adrian King’s lawsuit against the Huttonsville Correctional Center in West Virginia for emotional distress and invasion of privacy in forcing him into surgery to remove the marbles he had implanted in his penis before going behind bars in 2008. King did not allege that he misses the marbles but only that he had chosen bodymodification and that the surgery was against his will, causing pain upon touch (or whenever it gets cold, or rains or snows). Prison officials initially ordered the surgery because it was unclear that the objects were not contraband.
Weird Science
— Medical Daily, in a May review of recent cases, noted progress in dealing with Cotard’s syndrome — a disorder that leads patients to believe they have no blood or vital body parts — or feeling as if they are dead (or may as well be). Studies show one in about 200 psychiatric patients exhibit the symptoms, and one doctor, describing a brain scan of his patient, said brain activity resembled that of a person in a coma or under anesthesia. Cotard’s, also known as walking corpse syndrome, leads patients to thus avoid eating or bathing (asking themselves, why bother?).
[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 26 ]
[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take your time. Listen carefully. Don’t let your heart lead the way. Not everyone will be as willing to reciprocate. Choose partners based on energy level. If your partner cannot keep up, it will be difficult for you to wait for him or her to catch up. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Express your feelings if you are in love. Suggest an unusual way to spend quality time together. Showing passion will progress into a loving relationship with plenty of perks that will keep you both coming back for more. When it comes to love, don’t be shy.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Look at love realistically. If someone is offering you the impossible, consider the outcome and if you are willing to settle for less. Let past experience help you decide whether you should engage in a relationship with someone making lofty promises with little follow through. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Show off a little, and don’t be afraid to give someone the tour of your heart and what you have to offer emotionally. Your open and imaginative way of expressing future plans will impress someone you have designs on, bringing you closer. New living arrangements look promising.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Draw the line if someone is aggressive, possessive or jealous. Be safe, not sorry. Gravitate toward secure individuals who let you enjoy life without making wrongful assumptions. Look for the partner confident enough to stand beside you, not the one trying to dominate or hide you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Get out and do your thing. Help others, and you will attract plenty of attention from someone smitten with you. You’ll find an interesting balance with someone who comes from a very different background. Share your beliefs, and you’ll come up with one
that works for both of you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’ll be attracted to someone who offers stability but is also willing to try something new. Bring your likes and dislikes out into the open early in the relationship, and you will set the stage for a partnership based on pleasing each other right from day one. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Get out and do the things you love to do. Engage in short trips to unfamiliar places that promise adventure and challenges that will keep you on your toes. That’s where you will find true love. The person looking for an adventure will be your perfect match.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll find it difficult to differentiate between truth and fiction when it comes to relationships. Don’t believe everything you hear. Let someone’s actions be your guide to whether you should give your heart willingly. Honesty and loyalty are a must if you plan to become serious with someone. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are ready to make a move when it comes to love, marriage and getting your life in order. You have plenty to offer, and that will attract suitors vying for your attention. Choose someone you consider to be an equal, not someone expecting a free ride.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You need a change and to be with someone willing to experiment with different lifestyles. The person willing to embrace life and try new things will win your heart and give you the balance you need to feel secure enough to make your love official. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Take on any challenge, and you’ll end up meeting and impressing someone who has been searching for a partner just like you. Share your thoughts, feelings and plans and invite that special someone to join you, and the rest will be history.
