Airport should up its music game, too
Building on Mary Anna’s Towler’s Urban Journal article about “Art, ads, and the image we show to the world (July 6),” I would like to add “beautiful music.” Why in a city graced by outstanding music schools and a successful jazz festival does our airport broadcast humdrum elevator music? What are they thinking? Step inside Chicago’s O’Hare terminal and catch some cool jazz, or a small Midwest terminal and hear country music. Let’s hear it for the classics; let’s let visitors know we appreciate good music. SANDY BAKER

JULY 27 - AUGUST 2, 2016
I’m with CITY on the politics and the despair and the wish to find a way to end the violence that we see inflicted against segments of the black community through police actions, or crushing poverty, or racial prejudice. If we’re going to effectively explore the deep divisions in our society, though, and work effectively toward overcoming them, I think we all need to be as searchingly honest and intellectually fair as we can as we evaluate, suggest, even demand solutions. Along these lines, it may seem a trivial detail, but I found it odd that your editorial against racial violence (Urban Journal, July 6) explicitly mentions “black” men who have been wrongfully killed by police officers. But then, in addressing the shooting of white police officers by a black individual in Dallas, you drop the race labels. Someone who doesn’t know the story might infer that a white sniper had shot several black police officers.
There seems to be no doubt that overt racial violence in America is inflicted in a highly disproportional way against — and most defines the experience of — people of color, not whites. But what possible use is there in glossing over the fact that it can go other ways? President Obama, by contrast, took it headon in his Dallas address. He called the shootings, “an act not just of demented violence, but of racial hatred.” That the underlying cause of that violence may be the long history of racism in this country does not make it less important to point out that victims of racial violence can be any color, as can the perpetrators, and they all matter. As a society we are not just divided black against white, but also economically, culturally, and in many other ways, some just as threatening to our future as a nation. Some may be as important to take into account in the fight against racism. Cultural commentators as illustrious as Martin Luther King Jr have pointed out — and right-wing strategists have noted — that fanning the flames of racism helps to distract poor and underprivileged people of all races from making common cause against an oppressive economic system and against those who have secured the overwhelming benefits of the system. Conversely, conflating the broader fight against poverty or economic injustice with the fight against racism (or letting one be subsumed into the other) can undermine both causes, and increases the tendency to abandon practical effort in favor of toothless posturing. As an aside: One of the most troubling divisions in America, thrown into sharp relief by the current election cycle, is the one separating what some characterize as the angry white right-winger and the smug intellectual liberal. It’s easy to disparage the right-winger. A different division, less noted, is that between welleducated and poorly-educated whites. The latter group is currently experiencing, in middle age, an alarming increase in death rate when all other
major demographic groups show decline. The cause is suicide and substance abuse, and the despair behind this phenomenon is an energy that the likes of Donald Trump are happy to harness, while the liberal establishment appears hardly to care. Which might be part of the problem. At any rate, we on the left, of any color, especially those who think we see the truth more clearly than the other side, need to be scrupulous in guarding against the intellectual double standards and spiritual dishonesty that, frankly, course through many of our cultural discussions. This seems advisable partly because there’s no chance of constructive cultural dialogue, let alone liberal arguments reaching the “other side” effectively, without striving for complete honesty and fair consideration of all people under discussion (recognizing both black victims and white victims, for example). I know some right-leaning people who can be persuaded by thoughtful reasoning. But there is a reluctance to accept a conflicting outlook, and they are cued in to reject out of hand any position from the left that appears to lack integrity in what may seem to be the least detail. Maybe more important is that, in these troubled times, we simply have to strive for deep intellectual integrity if we hope for reason and humanity to prevail —- in ourselves and in our community — over the powerful forces of chaos and inhumanity. I’m a little embarrassed to make such a big deal out of one or two missing adjectives, but I think it all connects. JIM MOTT

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
What is America? We’re about to find out what kind of country we are. Maybe as a whole, we’re smarter than we sometimes seem. Maybe, in our heart of hearts, we understand the complexity of our problems. Maybe, when we take a deep breath, we know that not all challenges require force and that force can be dangerous. Maybe, ultimately, we’re able to step back from our fear, override the urgings of our gut, and vote intelligently. Maybe the delegates in Cleveland last week aren’t representative of the voters who will turn out in November. But the Republican convention and its angry, inflammatory speakers – and the delegates’ roars for their angry, demagogic nominee – were terrifying. Well, maybe news from the Democratic convention will overshadow the Republicans’ dark vision. And maybe by the end of this week, we’ll see a Democratic Party pretty much united. I hope so. The complaints from Bernie Sanders’ supporters are legitimate, and they’re important, and not all of those supporters will move to Clinton’s side. But many of them need to, for the sake of the nation. Clinton will need every Democratic vote she can get to defeat Donald Trump. Clinton’s shortcomings are large, but she is not dangerous. Donald Trump is. And at this point, everything’s breaking his way. It is already a tense summer, nationally and internationally, and it won’t be a surprise if there are more incidents like Dallas and Nice and Munich. And they will be tailor-made for Donald Trump’s Hitler-like message. Trump’s angry face is now the face of the Republican Party – and that shouldn’t be a surprise. The party has been heading in this direction since Nixon and the Southern Strategy. The party chose this path. It chose it as it tarred Michael Dukakis with the Willie Horton ads, as it launched its attacks on voting rights. It’s telling that the person who came closest to denying Trump the nomination was the equally angry, vindictive, know-nothing, anticompromise Ted Cruz. This is now the Republican Party. (Curiously, after Cruz pointedly rejected Trump from the convention stage, several media commentators said that Cruz was brave, that he acted on principle. No, he wasn’t, and no, he didn’t. He didn’t turn his back on Trump over a concern
It’s hard to urge reason in the face of shouts and appeals to the worst of our emotions and our nature.” for the principles of the country and his party. He did it because Trump had insulted his wife and his father.) For the next three months, Donald Trump will travel across America, whipping up anger, stoking our fears, and telling us that he is the answer to our prayers – that he will be the voice of the frightened, disaffected masses. The history of Nazi Germany should have taught us where that can lead. Maybe the Republican convention simply lanced a boil. Maybe all that hot air and all that anger will dissipate. Maybe the folks howling out their hatred in the Cleveland arena will calm down now that they’re back home. But I’m worried. It is hard to urge reason in the face of shouts and fingerjabs and appeals to the worst of our emotions and our nature. And what’s left of the Republican Party leadership will not object to Trump’s demagoguery during this campaign. We saw proof of that as Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, and way too many others – who know exactly what Trump is – took the stage last week to urge a Trump victory. I hope that Hillary Clinton can woo most of Bernie Sanders’ supporters. I hope she can survive the attacks Trump aims at her. I hope she’ll be able to pull the nation together. But at the moment, that seems a very difficult job. Creating unity and restoring sanity may be up to all of us, one person, one interest group, one village, one city, one county at a time. But it won’t be easy. Because Donald Trump’s venomous spirit will be roaming the country, bent on frightening us and driving us apart. Does the mob in the Cleveland convention center represent most of us? Is that now America?

Warren wants public input on the port
Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren says that she will hold a series of public meetings to find out what kind of development the community wants at the Port of Rochester. A controversial plan to build a hotel and condos at the port was aborted when the developer could not get its financing together, Warren has said. The city is still looking for a mix of residential and commercial uses at the port.

SUNY Geneseo’s partnership with School 19 would mark the second time that a city school has been paired with a local higher education institution. PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLIN EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
Partnership eyed for School 19 The Rochester school board and SUNY Geneseo’s School of Education have agreed to collaborate to try to improve academic performance at School 19, an elementary school on Seward Street. If the State Education Department approves the deal, SUNY Geneseo would assume the management and supervision of the school. It would be the second time that the school board has looked to a higher education institution to take over a troubled city school. The first was East High School, which is now run by the University of Rochester.
Parents, teachers, and staff learned last week that the school board has applied to the SED for a $500,000, five-year grant to help fund School 19’s transition. SUNY Geneseo professor Jane Morse would lead the changeover. School 19’s superintendent, who hasn’t been appointed yet, would report directly to the school board. Teachers at School 19 would be responsible for developing a personalized approach to academic achievement that must include input from the school community. School board President Van White says that he is confident that the SED will approve the School 19-SUNY Geneseo partnership.
School 19 is not a receivership school, but it is one of the state’s priority schools, which means that it is consistently among the lowest performing in New York. White says that the agreement with SUNY Geneseo, which has been in the works for several months, would give the district a high school and an elementary school that operate more independently and thus have room for innovation. The goal is to create new approaches to academic achievement that can be replicated at other schools that need to improve, he says. The partnership is part of a broader plan to overhaul the district, White says.

Daniele Family Companies compared the density of the proposed Whole Foods project to other Brighton developments on Monroe and determined that the Whole Foods project would be less dense than many of them, says Danny Daniele, the company’s president.
DEVELOPMENT | BY JEREMY MOULE
Whole Foods critics get lawyers Three groups opposed to a planned Whole Foods and retail plaza on Monroe Avenue say that they are prepared to sue the Town of Brighton if their concerns aren’t addressed. Two of the groups represent people who live close to the project site, and the third represents anonymous Monroe Avenue business and residents. All three groups say that the project is too big and will aggravate traffic on the densely developed corridor. Each group has its own attorney. Daniele Family Companies proposed four buildings, totaling about 94,000 square feet of space on the north side of Monroe, between I-590 and Clover Street. A 55,000-square-foot Whole Foods store would go in roughly the same location as the now-closed Mario’s restaurant on Monroe, which was owned and operated by the Daniele family. One of the other buildings would be a standalone Starbucks coffee shop with a drive-through. A grocery store isn’t a regularly allowed use of the property, and the density of the proposal far exceeds what’s permitted under the town’s zoning. In exchange for permission to deviate from those laws, Daniele Family Companies would make improvements to some public amenities. The company also says
that the development would give the town a substantial bump in tax revenue. The opposition groups want the developer to conduct a new traffic study; they say that the existing one is flawed.

Embracing common humanity Teaching and promoting a message of peace is important to the Seneca people, says Meg Joseph, executive director of Friends of Ganondagan. And one way to do that, she says, is through an upcoming event, “Breaking Bread, Building Bridges,” which is from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, August 7, at the Seneca Art and Culture Center, 7000 County Road 41, in Victor. The event will bring together people from different gender, religious, and ethnic communities over a light meal to share personal stories and embrace cultural diversity, Joseph says. Admission is $10 for the general public and $7 for Friends of Ganondagan members. Talks will be given by Gabrielle Hermosa, a human rights advocate and transgender woman; Mubarak Bashir, director of faith outreach for the local chapter of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community; and Lauren Jimerson, a Native American with the Seneca Heron Clan and artist who grew up on the Cattaraugus Reservation. Joseph says that people want to get to know people from other cultures, but are sometimes afraid of saying the wrong thing or asking an inappropriate question. Sitting down together and sharing a meal is an ancient tradition to dispel those fears and create friendships, she says.

Bike share hits smaller metros
EA

The City of Rochester is seeking proposals from organizations interested in running a public bike-sharing system downtown. FILE PHOTO
Buffalo started a program recently, and Rochester is exploring the idea Urban bike-share programs aren’t the big-city novelty they used to be; smaller metros such as Boise and Buffalo have programs now, and Rochester is looking into starting one, too. City officials don’t want to put a substantial amount of taxpayer money into the project, though, so they’re seeking a company, a nonprofit, or some combination of the two to take it on. Proposals are due by August 3. In the eyes of public transit and active transportation advocates such as Mike Governale, president of Reconnect Rochester, bike share’s time has come. “It’s something that Rochester absolutely needs,” he says. “I don’t see bike share as a nice-to-have or a fringe benefit. I think it’s something that’s very necessary in attracting new people to come and live and work in the city, and also helping to offset transportation costs.” Erik Frisch, transportation specialist for the city, says that bike shares are increasingly expected in cities, even those Rochester’s size. The city wants a phased program, starting with 25 stations and 250 bikes in downtown and its adjacent neighborhoods, such as Park Avenue. Those numbers track the 6 CITY

WHAT'S YOUR VISION FOR A ROCHESTER BIKE SHARE? SHARE WITH US USING THE HASHTAG #BIKETHEROC
recommendations in a 2014 Genesee Transportation Council bike-sharing feasibility study done for Rochester and its suburbs. The study recommends a four-phase approach. City officials want a system that meets the needs of several types of users, including college students, visitors, residents commuting to work, and residents who want to use the bikes for recreation or to meet friends somewhere. If done right, the bike-share system has the potential to both get people out of their cars and to complement the region’s bus system, Frisch says. For example, people may be able to take the bus from one stop to another, and then take a bike the rest of the way. “It’s a new mobility option for people: residents, visitors, and others in the city,” he says. “We think that it’ll support economic growth here, whether that’s increased retail sales for small businesses or serving as a distinguishing
feature for the city — a competitive advantage, if you will, for attracting and retaining businesses and jobs and investment and workers.” A bike-share system would be the latest in a string of bicycle-oriented projects in the city. Rochester is approaching 100 miles of bike lanes, shared use lanes, and other road features; the milestone should be reached sometime next year, Frisch says. Many cyclists, especially less experienced ones, feel more comfortable biking when they know they have a designated place on the road, he says.
Few cities of Rochester’s size run bikesharing systems themselves, Frisch says. Most have solicited vendors to do the work. Buffalo is a recent example. Reddy Bikeshare launched in the city with 200 bicycles last week. The program is a partnership between Independent Health and Shared Mobility, Inc., a Buffalo nonprofit that previously worked to build up the metro’s carsharing network. The Reddy system uses equipment and a mobile app platform developed and marketed by Social Bikes. Users buy a monthly pass for $8.50, and then pay 6 cents for every minute that they use the bike. Or $55 for a yearly pass and 1 cent for every minute they use the bike. They can find and reserve a bike via the mobile app, and to access the bike, they type a provided pin into what is, essentially, a high-tech U-lock. The system is different than New York City’s Citi Bike and Washington, DC’s Capital Bike Share programs, which use large dock systems to lock, release, and accept the bikes. Smartbike systems like Buffalo’s are cheaper to purchase and are more flexible when it comes to distributing the bikes, Frisch says. Smartbike systems rely on mobile phones and credit cards, which are convenient for many users. But the arrangement brings up equity issues, since not everyone in the Rochester region can afford a smartphone or has a credit card — a card is usually required to check out a bike. The city has asked the people who respond to its request for proposals to include ideas to address those issues. Rochester officials favor the smartbike systems because of the systems’ flexibility and cost benefits. In fact, they may be key to the sustainability of the whole project. The 2014 GTC study says that a bikeshare system could be viable in Rochester and Monroe County, but it would likely operate at a loss. But its conclusion is based on costs associated with the more expensive dock systems, which were the
prevalent technology at the time. The smartbike systems provide better odds that the selected operator will be able to stay in the black, Frisch says. The city repeatedly and bluntly states
in its request for proposals that it will not provide funding for construction, operation, or maintenance of a bikeshare system. It will, however, help with marketing and recruiting sponsors, Frisch says. Sponsorships will probably be the key to a viable system in Rochester, he says. “There’s a few ways of doing that, whether it’s one large title sponsor or different sponsors based on stations or station locations,” Frisch says. Portland’s Biketown started earlier this month with Nike as the title sponsor; the company’s iconic swoosh is on all of the bikes, which are the same color orange as the brand’s shoeboxes. Kansas City’s nonprofit B-Cycle uses a mix of corporate sponsorships, government and philanthropic grants, community improvement district grants, and other sources to fund new stations and pay for operations. But a big sponsorship is no guarantee of a self-sustaining bike-share system. Seattle’s City Council voted in May to buy out the struggling Pronto bike-share system there, at a cost of $1.4 million. Officials are looking for another operator. The system started two years ago with $1.25 million from the state and federal governments, as well as big sponsorships, including $500,000 from Seattle Children’s Hospital and $2.5 million from Alaska Airlines, according to the Seattle Times. But ridership was lower than expected, which meant that the operator wasn’t hitting revenue targets, the Times says. Seattle officials said that they believe that the system hasn’t spread to enough locations, and that they plan to expand it. Reconnect Rochester’s Governale says that two things have to happen for bike sharing to work in Rochester. For one, the governments and groups in the community need to put more energy into getting people on bikes, he says. And businesses and groups in the community have to buy into the idea, and that means sponsoring stations, he says. Governale and Frisch say that downtown developers want the bike share to happen, and that it might make sense for them to sponsor stations near their properties, for example. Governale says that Reconnect Rochester and the Rochester Cycling Alliance have talked about working together to sponsor a station. “It’s something we’re all going to have to step up and help out with,” he says. rochestercitynewspaper.com

When we walk away from a restaurant experience, more often than not, it’s what we didn’t like that is more memorable than what we did. John Nacca and Pete Lezeska are friends and business partners who found themselves having a meal together and discussing what they didn’t like about recent restaurant experiences — everything from the layout to the customer service. Although neither of them had restaurant experience, they decided to open up the kind of place they would want to eat at and staff it with people that are knowledgeable about the industry. That restaurant, Nosh (47 Russell Street), opened on July 1 in the Neighborhood of the Arts. “I see our inexperience as a strength,” Nacca says. “We’re able to do things unorthodox and outside of the box.” Nacca and Lezeska recruited Joe Zolnierowski as the executive chef, and gave him free reign over creating the menus. The menu features small plates and entrees, and will change seasonally, with some staples that will remain all year. You’ll notice above certain menu items that a charity is listed, and $1 of every sale of that item will go to benefit that charity. The bellied corn dogs ($14) — which uses Bostrom Farms
pork belly, cornmeal, pepper jam, avocado salsa, and adobo crema — benefits CURE Childhood Cancer Association. Sales of the boar lasagna ($23), which features braised wild boar ragu, pasta made in house, fresh mozzarella, ricotta, and herbs al forno, will benefit the Seneca Park Zoo. A few vegetarian items are on the menu, such as the heirloom kale salad ($10), using kale, red quinoa, candied pecans, crusted First Light goat cheese, and a charred orange vinaigrette. So far, “what most people have commented on is the service,” Nacca says, referencing Nosh’s General Manager Maryrose Hart, who has 25 years in the service industry. “We’ve got people around us that have a vision and we give them enough rein to make decisions. They’re not just employees, they are partners.” Bar Manager Randy Maier moved from Arizona to join the team, and was put in charge of creating Nosh’s craft cocktail menu. The bar also has eight tap lines for beers that will rotate and feature local selections, including from the restaurant’s neighbor, Three Heads Brewing. Nosh will soon start serving brunch on Saturdays and Sundays, so stay tuned to its website for updates.

Ben Scrivens started Fright Rags in 2003 as a way for him to combine his childhood love of horror with his graphic design talent. PHOTO BY RYAN WILLIAMSON
Fright Rags is making the world a scarier place, one terrifying T-shirt at a time [ CULTURE FEATURE ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
The horror bug bit Ben Scrivens early. The 38-year-old’s mischievous eyes light up when recalling the exact moment he got hooked on horror films. He was 4 and bored during a Halloween party his parents were attending. Told to occupy himself, he had plopped down in front of a television when John Carpenter’s seminal 1978 slasher flick, “Halloween,” happened to come on. Scrivens had never seen anything like it. “I sat transfixed for two hours,” he says. “And ever since then I’ve loved horror movies and watched anything I could get my hands on.” Early indoctrination is a common thread among horror fans. “It’s funny, when I go to these horror conventions and talk to friends and people within the
10 CITY JULY 27 - AUGUST 2, 2016
community, we all have almost the same exact story,” Scrivens says. “The only thing that differs is the age and the movie. I was 4, and it happened to be ‘Halloween.’ It’s almost like Clue: age 4, the movie was ‘Halloween,’ in my friend’s living room. The thing that’s the same is we’re all young and we all saw a horror movie that we probably weren’t supposed to.” A lot of it, Scrivens says, has to do with that “forbidden fruit.” Horror is visceral; it will stick with you. “When Michael Myers busts through that closet door … I think about it now and I still get chills.” That lifelong passion for scary movies led Scrivens to create Fright Rags, a popular Rochester-based online purveyor of original horror movie-themed apparel. With a customer base that spans the globe, film studios have also taken note: Fright Rags created an official line of T-shirts for the horror comedy movie “Krampus” to coincide with the film’s release last December, and the company partnered with 20th Century Fox for an “Aliens” T-shirt in celebration of “Alien Day” on April 26.
In fandom, there’s a certain importance placed
on proudly showing off your obsessions — preferably emblazoned across your chest on a kick-ass T-shirt. It’s that sense of self-identification that has pulled horror fans to Fright Rags since 2003, when the company began as a way for Scrivens to use his childhood love of horror as a creative outlet to combat the dull office environment he’d found himself in as a young graphic designer. The company started as a hobby operating out of Scrivens’ home, and he partnered with a few friends and business acquaintances. But as time went on, Fright Rags grew into something larger — something Scrivens knew he wanted to do for life. Scrivens devoted himself to the cause, and by 2008 he was able to quit his job and focus solely on his company. Fright Rags now has four full-time and four part-time employees. Scrivens says he couldn’t be more pleased with the company’s trajectory, even if he sometimes has to marvel at where he’s found himself. “I just emailed with Rob Zombie, and I get to go sign a contract for the ‘Predator’ movie series that we’re gonna be doing. Plus I’m in this cool building with these really great people and we’re working. You walk around and you see people doing their job and you’re like, ‘Shit, this is like a company. This is legit.’” Headquartered in downtown Rochester’s Cascade District, the Fright Rags space looks exactly as you might expect for a company drenched in horror. The office is artfully packed with fright-flick paraphernalia: posters, toys, and
figures, including a life-sized, machetewielding Jason Voorhees just outside the main door. And the building happens to be a former morgue. Walking through the warehouse space just below the offices, Scrivens excitedly points out the drains in the floor which once allowed blood and viscera to escape as autopsies were conducted. Scattered across the walls are posters and art from several of the company’s hundreds of T-shirts. The Fright Rags style features highly-detailed, often painterly designs highlighting a surprising breadth of films, from horror staples to current releases and the obscure gems in between. A recent release for the cult film “Killer Klowns from Outer Space” included scratch-and-sniff stickers (scented with cotton candy, naturally) and microwave popcorn with the face of one of the film’s monstrous clowns adorning the bags. Another popular addition are gift sets that include retro, Ben Cooper and Collegeville-style Halloween masks packaged along with a T-shirt. continues on page 12

The company’s all-time bestselling shirt is “Kill Destroyers,” a tongue-in-cheek reimagining of the rock band Kiss with Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, Chucky, and Leatherface swapped in for the group’s members. The slasher movie icons are depicted leaping into the air, weapons ready to strike. While Fright Rags has been branching out slightly with the subjects featured on its clothing — a line of shirts featuring the
General Mills cereal monsters is planned for this coming October — the forefront of the company’s focus continues to be movies. Fright Rags’ latest endeavor is Saturday Night Rewind, an ongoing monthly film series screening popular genre movies on 35mm film. The series marks a continuation of the company’s longstanding partnership with The Little Theatre, which evolved out of the 2009 “25-Hour Horror Feast,” where Fright Rags teamed up with The Little to screen horror movies, marathon-

style, from Halloween eve through Halloween night. Last year, the two organizations collaborated on weekly horror movie screenings throughout October. The Saturday Night Rewind series kicked off in March with John Carpenter’s endearingly goofy 1986 adventure film “Big Trouble in Little China.” The schlocky “Critters” followed in April, and Sam Raimi’s cult-classic “The Evil Dead” was shown in May. Last month’s screening of “Aliens” nearly sold out, and nodding to the bloodthirsty horror flick rivalry, “Predator” is scheduled for Saturday, July 30. Saturday Night Rewind will screen “Raiders of the Lost Ark” on Saturday, August 20. Screening on 35mm film is crucial to the nostalgic vibe of Saturday Night Rewind. It’s a way to recapture child-like enthusiasm while also tapping into the pleasure of experiencing a physical media that’s too often lost in our digital age. That tactile sensation sometimes includes the natural wear and tear of time, but those rough edges only add to the appeal, Scrivens says. Even if the print’s “a little worn out, it’s cool because film’s a living thing; it goes through changes. And with these original prints, they’ve been handed off and handed off to theaters across the country, so they get dings and they get scratches. It’s like an antique, or an heirloom, almost.” That experiential quality is emphasized by Chris HoganRoy and Eric Maira, projectionists at The Little. Together with Scrivens, they form the brain trust behind Saturday Night Rewind and collaborate on selecting the film lineup, tracking down prints, and organizing each event. “You’re buying a ticket to be thrown back to a time,” HoganRoy says. “These are prints that are from that era — and not restored prints, either — so they’re prints that actually played in the 80’s and 90’s. It’s all about creating that atmosphere.” Attending the screenings, there’s something undeniably transportive about being surrounded by an enthusiastic
audience and hearing that unmistakable clacking of the projector while watching a film. “Even if you’ve seen the movie 100 times,” Scrivens says, “to see it in its original format is the greatest thing. I know I just want to enjoy a film in the presence of other people and have fun. I feel like it’s a big living room and people are just invited over for a party.” A few local filmmakers are also getting in on the action: Saturday Night Rewind has commissioned shorts from local filmmakers John Vincent and Mike Boas to play in front of certain films. Before the shorts, retro horror-centric movie trailers set the tone for the evening as audiences take their seats. “It’s nice from start to finish to put on a show,” Hogan-Roy says. “There’s constantly something happening on screen. It flows from one thing to another and another.” To add another layer, each screening is rounded out with food options. The “Big Trouble” screening included a pop-up Chinese restaurant operated by Swillburger out of the kitchen of The Little’s next-door neighbor, Orange Glory. The restaurant served up themed dishes like “Jack Burton’s Cold, Punchy, Noodle Salad,” “Ancient Recipe Sesame Chicken,” and something called “Orange Smoothie Thing.” The Le Petit Poutine and Midnight Smokin’ BBQ food trucks and ROC Brewing have each made an appearance.

Scrivens, Hogan-Roy, and Maira are working on screening details for October, which has always been Frights Rags’ time to shine. For that month, Saturday Night Rewind will be bumped up to a weekly event. Plans include bringing in TNT’s “MonsterVision” host Joe Bob Briggs as a guest, and a screening of local favorite “Lady in White,” the 1988 thriller from director Frank LaLoggia centering on the Rochester legend of the White Lady. The group also hopes to incorporate Skype or in-person Q&As with directors, cast, or crew members whenever possible. The series has been bringing an audience to The Little that might not already be acquainted with the independent movie house. The crowd so far tends to skew a bit younger and a little more adventurous, and as Saturday Night Rewind gains popularity, they hope for more wiggle room to get wacky with the programming. “That’s the great thing about working with Ben: he’s within that culture, knows a mountain of people, and has such a good reputation; it just makes sense for him to also be part of a film series.” Hogan-Roy says. “And Fright Rags deserves that type of clout. The Little and
Fright Rags have always been together, and it just makes sense.” Maira agrees and adds, “It’s good synergy. It’s good to have a lover of film who’s not part of a theater, who has that outside perspective.” Each Saturday Night Rewind film screening
has coincided with a Fright Rags T-shirt (or line of T-shirts). The shirts are available through the company’s website, though ideally, Scrivens says he’d like to move toward having those shirts for sale at screenings. “The best thing about Fright Rags is that we’ve got a huge reach,” Scrivens says. “But the bad thing is our reach within Rochester is very limited. We sell all over the world, but when we get an order from Rochester, it’s still like, ‘Holy shit! It’s a local order; that’s cool!’ There’s a horror community here, but they’re not necessarily on our page, so a lot of people don’t know about us. “I know these people exist in Rochester, and I know I’m not the only one. For ‘Big Trouble,’ we had people coming from 30-40 miles away or more. And that’s awesome, that’s how it should be.” Still, even without the name recognition in his hometown, he doesn’t see the company abandoning its Rochester roots. “I had visions of moving to New York City or some other large city, and working for a big studio or ad agency. I’ve always loved this city, but I felt like I needed to leave it to ‘grow up.’ Then I started
to realize just how much Rochester had going for it, and how little I participated in any of it. How could I experience all the great things a larger city had when I wasn’t even taking advantage of the city I grew up in? I love this city, and while I don’t always agree with or understand some of the things that go on here, I am proud to call it my home.” Now that Scrivens has children of his own, is he planning to share his love of horror movies? “I don’t deliberately introduce them, but I also don’t hide it from them either. My home office — and of course my office at work — is full of horror memorabilia and my kids are used to running around with a Michael Myers mask on, or a Freddy glove. They know all the characters, but I haven’t shown them the movies. “My daughter is 9 years old, and I think she’s got a good handle on things, and I have shown her movies like ‘Beetlejuice.’ My son is going to be 7 in a few weeks and while he talks a big game, he’s pretty sensitive so I don’t show him too much, even though he really wants to watch everything. That said, I do put on the old Universal Monsters movies for them from time to time, so they have seen those types of films. Part of me hopes at least one of them will take to it — if only so I can hang out and watch horror movies with them. But if neither grow up to love the genre, that’s totally fine with me, too.”

Needless to say, music is an integral part of all our lives, from the rock concert T-shirt you proudly wore to school the day after the show to the songs you chose for your wedding. It’s our motivation, and it’s our soundtrack. You can learn a lot about a person simply by hearing what they hear. With “Off the record,” City will focus on people in the public eye that are outside of the music scene, and the songs, albums, and artists that mean something to them. Our guest this week is House Representative Louise Slaughter. City: How do you get your music? Records, CDs, or download? Louise Slaughter: Most of the music I listen
to is on local radio stations while driving across Rochester between events. A few weeks ago, I restarted my satellite radio subscription, which has a few good stations too.
First live music event?
When I was 5 years old, I traveled from my home all the way to Louisville, Kentucky, to watch a performance of “Babes in Toyland” at Christmas time. It was magical. Favorite band or musician?
It’s impossible for me to narrow it down to just one, though Rochester’s own Gap Mangione and the Campbell Brothers are particular favorites of mine. A song or lyrics that really spoke to you? Why?

Piano and guitar. My late husband, Bob, bought me a lovely guitar, but I haven’t had much time to play it recently. Memorable musical moment?
The first time I sang with a live band. I will never forget how it felt with the music rising up behind me. In college, some of my favorite moments were singing with a band called Tinker Baggerly and His Orchestra, which was made up of engineering students. What does music mean to you?
Music means the world to me. Its benefits are really incalculable. The National Endowment for the Arts has even had great success in using music and the arts in general to help the men and women in the military process traumatic events and restore physical function. It’s a remarkable program that I’m proud to support and promote as Co-Chair of the Congressional Arts Caucus, and it truly speaks to the power of song.

No, because I was writing stuff so differently. I was just writing stuff that was coming out. People compare those two bands; I don’t really get it. They both sound so different. How did it start? Was the material tested by 5Head first?

The Beaumont boogie The Beaumonts CHECK THE BAND OUT ONLINE AT FACEBOOK.COM/THEBEAUMONTS [ INTERVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE
You might think they do, but musicians don’t owe you a damn thing. Now I’m not speaking of those shallow showbiz shills with all their kowtowing and condescension, but about artists who brilliantly marry words and melody together. You know how it is: you fall in love with a particular artist’s sound. You love it, you identify, you relate; it’s your “jam.” Then said artist decides to evolve, to change without your permission. But before tossing them aside, realize it’s not the musician’s fault as they follow their elusive muse. Steve Pizzuto’s friendly mug is synonymous with Rochester ska darling 5Head, a band that plays with the energy and danger of a marching band on water skis. It’s a precarious teeter-totter of a snappy backbeat, and the brass blast furnace from its hellacious horn section. The band re-formed a couple of years ago after a lengthy hiatus. It was during that down time that Pizzuto began rooting around in unexplored caverns in his brain and began writing from a deeper, more intimate place. This wasn’t an extension of 5Head but rather a new band with its own identity and its own sound. That band, The Beaumonts, has two releases out, “Safety in Solitude” and ‘Letting Go of the Dial” and is currently in the studio at Blue On Blue 16 CITY JULY 27 - AUGUST 2, 2016
Recordings working on “Lanterna Blue” scheduled to land sometime this fall. Pizzuto was candid when he stopped down to City to discuss The Beaumonts, how it’s not 5Head, and how you can love both. Here’s what we said. An edited transcript of that conversation follows. City: The Beaumonts started … Steve Pizzuto: After 5Head croaked, I was
bored so I started going in the studio with musicians from other bands that I knew. After a while I began missing that itch for playing out. I remember watching Amy Winehouse’s “Live From London” DVD about 100 times in a row. Her backing band was just staggering — the whole lineup, the keys, the horns, the arrangements, everything. I said, “That’s it, I can’t wait any longer.” So I grabbed Mark Phillips from Cherry Gun, and Dave Goldstein — a bass player I met through Justin Lloyd — and with me on guitar, we became this trio. That scratched the itch?
But it still wasn’t enough. After a while it was like, “I need horns.” So I got Justin Lloyd on trumpet, Charlie Freida on saxophone, and Evan Dobbins on trombone. What was the plan?
We slowly picked a direction — that is still evolving. As a three piece, we were trying to fill out the sound and I think it was a little more guitar-oriented in that regard. I turned up the guitar good and loud making sure it was front and center. But once the horns
There are a couple of tunes I wrote for 5Head and they were like, “Wow, we’ve never heard anything like this.” That was the seeds of The Beaumonts. They were songs that were a little Brazilian jazz-influenced that they liked, but it was definitely a different flavor and I wanted to follow it further down the road than just give it a ska hook. When you sit down to write a song, how long until you know whether you’ll be having a baby 5Head or a baby Beaumont?
A lot of it has to do with the rhythmic structure. 5Head has a fairly narrow rhythmic structure, and with The Beaumonts, the sky’s the limit. You can do anything. Sort of like being without a parachute or seatbelt.
Yeah, but 5Head is the crazy one, a non-stop party. With The Beaumonts, I sing about people getting divorced, childhood things, loss, realizing your own mortality.

Ninety percent of them were like, “What are you doing?” Which was immediately depressing and a little enraging. When I’m out, the people that know me, know I tend to be off the wall and yet here’s this thoughtful, introspective material. And they’re like, “Where’s the bounce? Where’s the fun? You can’t dance to this.” Yeah, but it still has merit. There’s some cool shit there.

ALT-ROCK | HOLY WHITE HOUNDS
Des Moines, yet another place where Bugs Bunny took a wrong turn on his way to Pismo Beach, is the home of Holy White Hounds, a genre-defying alt-rock band that flouts definition including that of genre-defying alt-rock band. Founded in 2005, this fearsome foursome plays angular rock with a refreshing newness and differentness powered by aggressive guitar beneath plaintive melodies. Holy White Hounds sounds like nothing else you’ve heard playing under the broad-minded indie-quirk umbrella without totally succumbing to the weight of the weird. Holy White Hounds plays with Buffalo Sex Change and Diluted on Thursday, July 28, at Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Avenue. 7 p.m. $9.41. bugjar.com; holywhitehounds.com. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

HIP-HOP | RIFF RAFF
While most performers struggle to establish an identity, Horst Christian Simco, better known as Riff Raff, spills out multiple aliases at a continuous pace: Jody Highroller, The Neon Python, and The Peach Panther are just a few of this rapper’s alter egos. Riff Raff became an Internet sensation with tunes like “Bird on A Wire,” a collaboration with Action Bronson that earned the pair millions of views, “Yesterday” with Snoop Dogg, and “Spazz Out,” featuring drummer Travis Barker. Riff Raff’s over-the-top persona and hypnotic flow has perked the ears of Diplo, who signed “the rap game James Franco” to his Mad Decent record label. Riff Raff performs Sunday, July 31, at Harmony House, 58 East Main Street, Webster. 8 p.m. $20-$25. ticketfly.com; jodyhighroller.com. — BY ROMAN DIVEZUR

The current show at Main Street Arts in Clifton Springs, “House and Home,” offers achingly nostalgic looks at mostly rural environments. The works of three painters, one printmaker, and one mixed-media sculptor explore the physical structures and nebulous dreams that make a home, and together they build a sense of domestic tranquility, the passage of time, and lives earnestly lived. Chris Baker, who is based in Weedsport, New York, and is represented by Oxford Gallery, creates near photo-real paintings in gouache. In his work, Baker painstakingly replicates the nuances of overlooked corners and underexamined perspectives, whether a dim set of cellar steps or a bright patch of stones and plant overgrowth surrounding a bend in railroad tracks. But he also maximizes the opaque chalkiness of the watercolor medium to imbue each scene with a sense of atmosphere, effectively transforming two-dimensional planes into depthy realms of light, shadow, and subtle emotion.
In Baker’s “Tree House with Prayer Flags,” a broken-down play palace balances on bare and sturdy limbs in the milky dusk, with a farmhouse at the horizon, beyond fields glittering with golden leaf litter. His “Light: Above, Below” is a vignette of the starkly lit face of a building. The picture centers on the comforting warmth from one bright window beneath a cold and distant dusting of stars. Across all subject matter, Rochester-based printmaker Dale Klein stays true to her keen interest in entropy — “the inevitability of it and the melancholy beauty of it,” she says in her artist statement. I have been mostly familiar with Klein’s industrial landscapes, where steel skeletons rest in piles on the earth like great beasts excavated from another time. The work represented here hails from Klein’s time earning a BS in studio art at Nazareth College in 2006, when I met her in one of Ron Netsky’s classes. “As a precursor to my interest in the postindustrial landscape of Western New York, I became interested in the rural landscapes, specifically people’s homes,” Klein says. She connected the decay of homes as metaphor for the lives of those people who have suffered as the state economy slipped into decline. But the stark sepia or black aquatints and etchings are also pictures of resilience, of bare comforts, of people making do with little. The prints depict small gatherings of elders on porches, grandmothers in humble kitchens, yards crowded with tools and
subjects, including concepts of justice, and here, the physical environments of rural upstate New York. “I celebrate the often overlooked things around me such as that delightful stone underfoot or bird overhead, it being my intent to honor the ordinary,” his statement says. Through stripped down, mixed-media compositions of wood-block houses, carved wood elements, toy farm animals, and stones, Alonzo depicts neatly compartmentalized neighborhoods as seen from above, or rusty barns presiding over trenched fields and cattle. In his “N.E. Landscape #4,” spalted maple slats undulate under bovine foot, following the rolling terrain to a series of houses. Chicago-based painter Emily Rapport’s watercolors are vivid urban scenes, united in her “exploration of what gives our modern lives meaning, beauty, and resonance,” her statement says. Rapport presents the concept of home as a vessel of indicators of class and financial status, of family life, and how we want others to see us. There is stark contrast between the domiciles depicted in Rapport’s various pieces. The well-kept home in “Urban Farmhouse,” with its moat-like street marked by the watery shadows of tree branches, is juxtaposed with “House with Red X,” a boarded-up building with the iconic unstable-structure sign. The latter house languishes under considerably more dismal skies than the former, and the straw-colored lawn adds to the overall sense of depression. The most conceptual works in the show come from Albany-based painter Susan Stuart, whose large-scale oil paintings have stripped the concept of house and home down to its very bones. Nearing abstraction, the paintings depict beams and rafters in a saturated spectrum of pastels. Some are straightforward structures, while others warp and twist away, ribbon-like, bordering on the psychedelic. Stuart’s inclusion of scumbling — dried bits of paint that add a rough texture, a technique employed by Lucien Freud — grounds the more fantastical pieces back into the gritty work of building a house. “This architectural series began following a visit to an abandoned construction site at the peak of the 2008 recession,” Stuart’s statement says. The work conveys the complexity of the houses’ armature, through layers of material, negative space, and shadows, while alluding to the set of a play. “As ‘homes,’ these structure now become the stage where people’s lives unfold,” she says.

To infinity and beyond “Star Trek Beyond”
(PG-13), DIRECTED BY JUSTIN LIN NOW PLAYING [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
At first blush, director Justin Lin might appear an odd fit to take over the “Star Trek” film series. While helming four of the seven entries in the “Fast and Furious” franchise, Lin proved himself a maestro of swaggering action, crunching metal, and revving engines, all characteristics that seem a far cry from “Trek’s” earnest tales of exploration and diplomacy. Still, when you consider that both the “Fast and Furious” and “Star Trek” franchises follow a diverse team of individuals who band together to form a makeshift family, climb aboard meticulously designed vehicles, and move through space at blistering speeds, the connection becomes a bit clearer. A product of the optimistic mid-60’s,

the original “Trek” television series was an aspirational depiction of what our society could be. The crew members of the USS Enterprise made it their mission to search out strange new worlds and civilizations, and reflected the progressive ideals of creator Gene Roddenberry. But under the guidance of J.J. Abrams (acting as executive producer here), the new films have drifted away from the morality tales of the original television series. Abrams’ films are a product of the modern blockbuster era, emphasizing action above all else. “Star Trek Beyond” feels like a slight course correction — there are indeed new worlds to explore, though they mostly serve as stage to set the explosive action. The self-contained nature of the plot lends the film a feeling of an extra-long episode. The film finds the crew of the Enterprise three years into its five-year mission, and Captain James Kirk (Chris Pine) is starting to feel apathy toward his adventures. He’s lost his sense of purpose, lamenting in his captain’s log that the routine has begun to feel “episodic.” Meanwhile, Spock (Zachary Quinto) is also experiencing an existential crisis of his own after he receives word that Spock Prime has died. Despite the general malaise, the crew is sent off on a mission
to rescue the crew of a ship stranded in the far reaches of space. But once there, the Enterprise finds itself lured into a trap set by an alien tyrant known as Krall (Idris Elba). The vicious attack leaves the Enterprise demolished and the crew scattered across an uncharted planet. Lt. Uhura (Zoe Saldana) and Sulu (John Cho) are captured along with a good chunk of the film’s anonymous crew members; Kirk and Chekhov (the late Anton Yelchin) search for the missing; Bones (Karl Urban) provides aid to a wounded Spock; and Scotty (Simon Pegg) gains the assistance of Jaylah (Sofia Boutella), one of the planet’s alien residents. The strength of the new “Trek” films has always been the appealing group dynamic of its cast, and this film manages to emphasize the strength of its ensemble by dividing them up. Splitting the crew into unexpected groupings provides each actor with new personalities to play off of, and no matter how you shuffle them up, they remain as appealing as ever. Though it’s missing the Kirk and Spock banter that’s served as the heart of the past two films, the rest of the cast rise to the occasion. Small character details, like giving Sulu a husband and daughter back on the star base that eventually becomes Krall’s target, help give the climactic battle some weight. And any film that finds a role for wonderful Iranian actress, Shohreh Aghdashloo (Oscarnominated for “House of Sand and Fog”) — who plays Commodore Paris here — is already ahead of the game. In last week’s review of “Ghostbusters,” I brought up the frequent problem summer

blockbusters seem to have in coming up with memorable villains, and despite having an actor of Elba’s caliber underneath all those prosthetics, Krall does nothing to break the pattern. He’s yet another revenge-seeking bad guy searching for a Macguffin with the potential for mass destruction. And while there’s a revelation about his true motivations which adds some intriguing ripples to his character, that discovery comes far too late in the film. But there’s a breeziness to Simon Pegg’s and Doug Jung’s screenplay that keeps things engaging, and they do a nice job of threading their theme of unity in the face of adversity throughout their tale. The message is particularly meaningful in our divisive political climate, and it’s one the script might have pushed even further. Oddly for a filmmaker known for his action chops (and seriously, “Fast Five” is aces), the film fumbles most frequently during its action sequences. Particularly during hand-to-hand combat, the shaky camerawork at times borders on incomprehensible, and the scenes sometimes feel edited to within an inch of their lives. But a late sequence nearly makes up for it with the best musical cue of the summer thus far. Celebrating its 50 anniversary this year, the sheer positivity of the “Star Trek” franchise makes it stand out. With its timely message about our need to work harmoniously toward a brighter future, and its faith in humanity’s ability to rise to the occasion, “Star Trek Beyond” might just be the blockbuster we need right now.

Sunny Home on a Quiet Street 67 Kingsley Road
Charlotte, Rochester’s most northern neighborhood, is well known for summer fun at nearby Lake Ontario. That first ice cream cone at Abbott’s Frozen Custard signals the welcome start of summer in Rochester. Across the street at Ontario Beach Park, entertainment options include the historic 1905 Dentzel Carousel, playgrounds, picnic areas and free evening concerts every week.
Upstairs, hardwood floors continue through the three well-lit bedrooms. Glass doorknobs throughout add to the charm, and a linen closet in the hall adds convenient storage. The bathroom has its original white hexagonal tile, combination tub and shower, good-sized vanity, and extra storage nooks. There’s even a laundry chute! In the unfinished attic you’ll find plenty of space for storage and potential for other uses.
A short drive south from the lake you’ll encounter a stable residential area of quiet tree-lined streets with mostly owner-occupied homes. Kingsley Road extends a single long block from Lake Avenue to the west. Built in 1926, the home at 67 Kingsley Road retains many details characteristic of that time. The front door opens to a tiled foyer with stairs to the second floor. To the left, the living room is bright and open with its bay windows adding sunlight. You access a cozy three-season sunroom through a glass-paned door, while an arched opening draws you into the dining room. Both living and dining rooms have crown moldings and refinished hardwood floors in the narrow board “Rochester” style. A newer sliding glass door in the dining room opens to the backyard, contributing to the home’s cheerful feel.
Updates to 67 Kingsley Road include newer hot water heater and furnace. The nearly new frontloading washer and dryer in the basement are included. You’ll appreciate the whole house air conditioning as well as the small but handy toilet discreetly added on the first floor.
The kitchen has been recently redone with a ceramic tile floor, cabinets, countertops, and appliances. A short hall off the kitchen leads to the basement stairs, an outside door, and a small pantry area.
Outside, the front and back yards feature many established perennials, such as lowermaintenance hostas and ferns. There’s space for more gardens in both sun and shade. The backyard is private, completely fenced with a patio area and a detached single-car garage with opener. You’ll find a surprising amount of updated living space in the 1164 square feet of 67 Kingsley Road. It’s offered at $95,000. To see the home, contact Deborah Hart, Nothnagle Realtors, at 585-368-7113. by Sandra Swanson Sandra is a Landmark Society volunteer and Secretary of the Browncroft Neighborhood Association

PLEASE READ THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT CAREFULLY. YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY CONTACT AN ATTORNEY OR YOUR LOCAL LEGAL AID OFFICE TO OBTAIN ADVICE ON HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF. SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE. The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. In addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid office, there are government agencies and nonprofit organizations that you may contact for information about possible options, including trying to work with your lender during this process. To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained by the New York State Banking Department of Financial Services at 1-800-342-3736 or visit the Department’s website at www.dfs.ny.gov. FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.
Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD
The Power of Prayer
A 28-year-old woman, unnamed in news reports, veered off the road and into a house in the Florida panhandle town of Mary Esther on July 7. She apparently was free of drug or alcohol influence, but readily explained to police that she must have gone through a stop sign and left the road when she closed her eyes to pray as she drove. (The house was damaged, but no one was injured.)
Weird Numbers Making the News Recently
The Transportation Security Administration announced in May that it had collected $765,000 in loose change left behind in airport scanner trays during 2015 — an average “haul” for the agency of $2,100 a day (numbers assuming, of course, that TSA personnel turn in all of the money they find). Los Angeles and Miami airports contributed $106,000 of the total. Take Your Word for It: Scientists at the University of Cambridge, writing in May in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, claimed to have figured out how to construct a “motor” a “million times” smaller than an ant. (It apparently involves lasers, gold particles and “van der Waals forces,” and the object is to bind the gold particles and then cause them to automatically “snap” apart with, according to author Jeremy Baumberg, “10 to a hundred times more force per unit than any known other machine.”) CEO Michael Pearson told a Senate committee in April that he “regret(s)” the business model he instituted in 2015 for
Valeant Pharmaceuticals — the one that, for example, allowed a drug (Cuprimine) that treats liver failure and formerly cost a typical user out-of-pocket about $3 a pill (120 per month, $366) to, overnight, cost the user $15 a pill. (The insurance company’s and Medicare’s cost went overnight from about $5,000 per 100 tablets to $26,000.) (A Deutsche Bank analysis of the industry tallied Valeant’s all-drug average price spike at more than five times the average of any competitor’s.) Pearson told the senators he had no idea that such a pricing strategy would turn out to be so controversial. Neck and Back Support: The Japanese branch of the intimate apparel maker Genie is currently advertising, in Japanese and English, a handy guide for bras that emphasizes the hardship women bear by having to lug around breasts of certain sizes in ill-fitting garments. The Genie chart reveals weight in ounces of typical A-cup chests (11.5 ounces) through F-cup (41.7 ounces, or 2.6 pounds). To assist any innumerate Japanese shoppers, the chart also shows practical comparisons, such as A-cup pairs weighing as much as “two chipmunks,” C-cups as “one newborn polar bear cub,” and F-cups as “one 3-month-old Persian kitten.” The Passing Parade: Mark Herron, 49, of Sunderland, England, was arrested again in May — his 448th arrest on alcohol-related charges. The year started “well” for Herron, with only 14 collars through March, and he cleaned up briefly before a “family bereavement” sent him spiraling downward again. His current lawyer admitted that his client has been in court more often than he himself has.
[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 26 ]
[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Events that include co-workers look promising when it comes to love and romance. An opportunity to get to know someone personally will lead to sharing interests and working toward the same dreams, hopes and wishes. Mixing business with pleasure will encourage greater productivity and advancement. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): A creative approach to whatever you pursue will invite interest from someone you have always enjoyed spending time with. Take your time and let the friendship grow. If you move too fast, your options will be limited. Learn from past experience
when toying with intimacy. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t make promises or put yourself in an uncomfortable position by sending signals that can lead to a persistent pursuer who you’d rather not go the distance with. What you put out is what you will get back. Mean what you say, or don’t bother saying anything at all. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Ask a friend or colleague to set you up. A blind date will end up being more interesting and enticing than you expect. Taking a unique approach to love and considering getting involved with someone totally different than you will turn out to be entertaining and engaging.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your versatility and unpredictable nature will interest someone who finds you intriguing. Take the time to explain your reasoning behind the moves you make, and you will develop a strong bond with your pursuer. Love at first sight is possible this week, so don’t mince words -- take action. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Find out the status of anyone you are interested in before you make a move. Chances are good that you will be attracted to people who are involved in a relationship already. Opt to participate in singles’ events where you are less likely to encounter people who are
already spoken for. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): No matter where you go or what you do, you will attract romantic interest. Being open about your likes and dislikes will narrow your list of suitors, helping you home in on someone perfect for you. A fast-paced race to a serious relationship will lead to planning your future. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You may draw a lot of attention, but be careful what you wish for. Problems will occur in the romance department if you are jealous or attach yourself to someone who wants to control your every move. Proceed with caution when it comes to love and romance.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Love and romance are hot, but if you brag or you make idle promises, you are likely to end up in hot water instead of a hot relationship. Look for the person who is attracted to you for who you are. Don’t build yourself up to be something you are not. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your active lifestyle and concern for humanitarian causes will attract the perfect partner. Share your thoughts and make suggestions at functions that concern you, and you won’t be leaving alone at the end of the night. Enjoy the connection, and make plans for your next get-together.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Look for signs of emotional instability when dealing with potential partners. You’ll attract someone who wants to stifle your freedom or take over your life. Chemistry alone is not enough. Make sure you aren’t be emotionally or physically manipulated before you make a long-term commitment. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may think you have found the right partner, but if there is any connection to your profession or the connection you make is with someone who can influence your ability to advance, think twice. Make a point not to become too friendly with someone you work with or for.
