Buchanan’s right on Iran
It is rare that I find myself agreeing with Pat Buchanan on anything, but I do agree with his recent op-ed on why Congress cannot reject the recent Iran nuclear deal. There is no possibility that the US can bring Iran back to the negotiating table by itself, which means that if Congress rejects this deal, the US will be isolated, alone, and without any influence to ensure that Iran doesn’t cheat.

FUA deserves attention, too
It is wonderful that WALL\ THERAPY is receiving exposure from the various media. Now I’m wondering if the media will lend the same level of exposure to FUA — From Up Above muralists. For the past 25 years, this group has painted some very creative realistic and abstract visuals. Granted, their murals are in areas where people might be intimidated to venture into. However, their art should be recognized. FUA’s annual project will take place within a month on North Clinton Avenue. Please support them with equal exposure. LAURIE B. AMMERING
Another way to handle discipline

AUGUST 5-11, 2015
I read with interest “Sea change in student discipline” (News, July 29) which discussed restorative justice in city schools. My own knowledge of restorative practices in the RCSD is anecdotal and limited, but I have seen success. At the Wilson Foundation Academy, I watched restorative justice in action. There, George Payne of the M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence facilitated the Wilson Nonviolence Education and Empowerment Program.
Most students see inschool suspension as a punitive waste of time, but through authentic conversation, George helped students see alternatives to the harm they were often unwittingly inflicting upon themselves. Perhaps most promising are school-based Non-Violent Clubs supported by the Gandhi Institute at Frederick Douglass and Wilson Magnet. These clubs provide a forum for young people to honestly discuss overt forms of violence such as hall brawls, as well as everyday experiences such as bullying, intolerance, and incivility. When I attended, students talked openly about cafeteria melees and out-of-school “knockout games.” And students offered solutions by roleplaying how they could break up a fight without calling security. There is no reason we cannot have a Non-Violent Club in every school. Contact Kit Miller, director of the M.K. Gandhi Institute, to learn how your school can form its own. kmiller@admin.rochester.edu DAVID KRAMER
Rochester needs Palazzo Plaza
A retail plaza with a Whole Foods store is planned for Monroe Avenue in Brighton.
I am very excited for the development. I know Whole Foods will bring stores that are new to the Rochester region. The Danieles have a real opportunity with this plaza. Bringing much-needed, highend retail to the wealthiest town in Monroe County will allow my family and me to shop in Rochester and add tax dollars to the economy, instead of only shopping in larger cities while on vacation. I agree that if we were getting another Bed Bath & Beyond, Kohl’s, Dick’s, or some other bourgeois store, then this development wouldn’t be needed. But if the plaza uses modernist architecture, considers bike and pedestrian culture, and brings new shopping alternatives to the area, my family, friends, and I are all for it. MRROC

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
Seligman’s very big plan for the very big deal This city has gone through a stunning loss of industrial jobs, so it’s not surprising that the photonics institute announcement dominated the news last week. We’ll be the headquarters! We won a national competition! The vice president of the United States came to town! And Rochester has been celebrating ever since. I’ve been celebrating, too. It’s about time. I’m tired of us being kicked in the face. I’ve been mad ever since the company formerly known as Gannett decided that we weren’t good enough to house its national headquarters. Xerox has shrunk. Bausch and Lomb has been bought. And Kodak? How could company executives let that happen? At long last, somebody recognizes our value. No one knows yet how many jobs the institute will create, and the jobs won’t all be located here. We’ll be the headquarters, the hub of the research and development, but the manufacturing itself, the jobs that grow out of the institute, could be anywhere. Being the headquarters could attract companies in that industry to locate here, though. Community leaders’ words of enthusiasm aren’t hyperbole. This is a big deal. And as happy as I am about our selection as the photonics institute’s headquarters, I’m almost as happy about what University of Rochester president Joel Seligman did soon after the formal announcement. In the media frenzy leading up to that announcement, there were reports that the institute’s headquarters would be in the suburbs, at the Canal Ponds Business Park in Greece. The big announcement to-do, with the vice president beaming his high-wattage smile, was held in the business park. But Seligman, whose institution was involved in bidding for the headquarters, was having none of that. “Rochester, and I mean the City of Rochester, will be the headquarters for this effort,” he said at the big announcement. “There are discussions going on. We’re looking at places like the Sibley building as the potential headquarters.” And when the Democrat and Chronicle editorial board interviewed Seligman and SUNY Polytechnic president Alain Kaloyeros after the announcement, Seligman was stronger: “There’s a high likelihood that the business headquarters will be located in Sibley,” he said. “They’ve got the space, and if we’re going to revitalize Rochester, it starts on Main Street. Literally, it starts with the Sibley Building.” The Sibley Building isn’t a done deal.
The University of Rochester president has done what too many community leaders have failed to do over the years.” Nobody has promised, so far, that the photonics headquarters will be anywhere in the city. But Seligman has done what too many community leaders have failed to do over the years. They may insist that the city and its health are important. But then they build in the suburbs, which nibbles away at that health. City elected officials, in administration after administration, have pleaded and preached. And to get development, they’ve been forced to offer incentives, tax breaks that other city taxpayers have to make up for. There have been successes, of course. Over the years, a few business leaders have recognized the importance of a healthy downtown – have understood that downtown’s health has a profound impact on everybody in the region – and so companies like ESL and Nothnagle have moved their headquarters in. New companies have sprung up in the core of downtown and in the High Falls area. And slowly, the momentum has been building. A growing number of commercial and residential developers are creating new apartments, condos, and office and retail space downtown. A small step at a time, downtown is overcoming the loss of retail and big-deal professional firms. And now a key non-government community leader – someone who has enormous influence in regional development – has thrown down the gauntlet. “If we’re going to revitalize Rochester, it starts on Main Street.” I’m not anti-suburb. Not everyone wants to live or work in the city. But if the city fails, we all do. “If we’re going to revitalize Rochester, it starts on Main Street.” Thank you, Joel Seligman. rochestercitynewspaper.com

Wage report out
The state’s Fast Food Wage Board released a report supporting its recommendation to raise the minimum wage for fast-food workers to $15 an hour. The report says that the workers can’t earn enough to support themselves and their families, and that in New York, over half of the workers are on public assistance. The wage increase applies only to fast-food restaurants with more than 30 locations nationally.

“I know exactly what our challenges are,” she says. “I wouldn’t be stepping into a black hole if that’s where I thought this was going.” Romeo, 30, is the latest in a string of younger Democrats stepping into critical leadership roles in the party. And that should mean something to party members. A group of younger Democrats revived the dormant Henrietta Democratic Committee, which is putting up a full slate of candidates for town and County Legislature offices this year. Many top Democrats see Henrietta as the party’s best bet for picking up some suburban seats. And Democrats have held all of the Town Board seats and the supervisor’s office in Romeo’s
hometown of Irondequoit since the 2013 elections. Most of the positions are held by younger Dems. Romeo’s election shows young Democrats that they have a place in the party beyond gathering signatures and knocking on doors — that they can help shape its future. And her peers have faith in her ability to pull the party out of its slump. “There’s no doubt there will be challenging days ahead,” said Alex Hipolito, vice president of the Monroe County Young Democrats and MCDC’s political director, during his speech nominating Romeo as MCDC chair. “But if you’ve known Jamie, she’s not one to shy away from challenges.”

“Middle school is an age and stage that presents challenges, but if we can get them through that tough phase, we find that they are able to stay the course [to graduation].” [ ELAINE SPAULL, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE CENTER FOR YOUTH ]
YOUTH SERVICES | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
Center for Youth expands west The Center for Youth is expanding into the Buffalo area to provide social-emotional support programs to the KenmoreTonawanda School District, says Elaine Spaull, the agency’s executive director. “The Kenmore-Tonawanda School District, which is comprised of many excellent administrators and teachers, found they needed some triaging and some alternative support for their middle-school youth,” she says. “Middle school is an age and stage that presents challenges, but if we can get them through that tough phase, we find that they are able to stay the course [to graduation].” The center will provide its alternatives-tosuspension program in two of the district’s middle schools, Franklin and Hoover. The program emphasizes keeping students in school during short-term suspensions. The center will also provide crisis intervention and prevention at Kenmore Middle School. All of the work focuses on reducing suspensions — something that has become imperative for many school districts, says Paul Clark, the center’s director of schoolbased programs. Clark says that crisis prevention has become extremely important to educators in recent years. Educators recognize that many
students need extra support for emotional stability so that they can perform well academically, he says. “The idea is to support students to foster the skills they need to help them make better choices,” Clark says. “Everything we’re doing is to help to keep them in school.” The center will hire three youth counselors to work collaboratively with the Ken-Ton district’s counselors, social workers, and emotional support team, he says. The Ken-Ton district is located in one of Buffalo’s inner-ring suburbs and isn’t usually associated with poverty or students with high needs. But Spaull says that there are big misperceptions about youth and families’ social-emotional needs. “We have an increased number of what we call stressed suburbs,” she says. “The challenges facing our kids are not restricted to our cities, or struggles with poverty. These suburbs are facing changes in economic opportunities, too.” The expansion in the center’s service area has been happening over the last three years, Spaull says, with many districts in the Rochester region seeking the agency’s expertise and training. The center recently developed support programs for the Mt. Morris Central School District, for example.

Some of the center’s school programs are ongoing. But in Ken-Ton’s case, the center will train the district’s staff members so that they can eventually assume full responsibility for the program. Ken-Ton has a two-year agreement with the center. The center’s expansion is the result of its continued work with the Rochester school district, Clark says. Educators and school administrators around the state are interested in the work the center’s does in Rochester’s schools, he says. The Center for Youth was formed in 1971 by a group of Brighton teenagers who wanted a place where they could speak freely and receive emotional support. The agency has grown to provide a wide range of services that include emergency shelter for homeless youth, an alternative school called New Beginning, and a 24-hour crisis hotline.
Eastman gets marijuana license Columbia Care has been awarded a state license to establish a medical marijuana growing and dispensing operation at Eastman Business Park. The company plans to lease 204,000 square feet in a Kodak film-manufacturing facility built in 1921. It announced the seven-year lease agreement with Kodak and Eastman Business Park in June. Under the state’s medical marijuana law, which was enacted earlier this year, the State Department of Health awarded licenses to five companies to grow and dispense marijuana products. The department announced the five winners last week, and Columbia Care is the only operation that’ll have a Monroe County presence. The other winners are Bloomfield Industries, Empire State Health Solutions, Etain, and PharmaCann. The Eastman facility will create about 250 jobs, according to a press release, and will serve patients regionally and throughout New York State. Columbia Care will set up dispensaries in New York, Suffolk, and Clinton counties. The company has licensed medical marijuana operations in five other states, and also does research work.

One look at the organ’s arthritic keys and crumbling casing tells you that this old instrument has hummed its last hallelujah. The entire chapel, known as the 1812 chapel at Mount Hope Cemetery, is a gorgeous, decayed thing — a survival-horror movie set waiting for a location scout. It’s one of two defunct chapels in the cemetery — this one located not far from the cemetery’s south entrance — which City of Rochester officials hope to restore and put back into use. “There’s a lot of potential opportunity,” says Mary Gaudioso, the city’s assistant commissioner of environmental services. “People are always looking to have events. For some reason, weddings are very popular at cemeteries.”
The chapels are being looked at as part of a comprehensive planning process under way for the entire 196-acre cemetery. The master plan will provide a vision for the cemetery’s buildings, grounds, landscape, and vegetation going out 20, 25 years. The plan will look at how to accommodate people’s shifting preference toward cremation in place of full-body burials, how to preserve and enhance the cemetery’s landscape, and how to keep the cemetery active as long as possible. People tend to think of Mount Hope as a historic cemetery only, Gaudioso says, because of the notable people interred there, including Susan B. Anthony, Frederick Douglass, and Nathaniel Rochester.
But Mount Hope handles about five interments a week, she says. At that rate, she says, the cemetery can remain active for about another five years. But they might be able to squeeze out an additional 15 years or so, she says, if they make use of some undeveloped areas, decommission unnecessary pathways, or narrow some roads. A critical part of the master plan will tackle the cemetery’s problematic tree population. Mount Hope’s rolling landscape and lush tree canopy are vital to the cemetery’s serene, park-like atmosphere. Unfortunately, many of Mount Hope’s trees are invasive Norway maples — planted at a time when few people knew about the damage caused by invasive species. Many of
the Norway maples are old and declining, Gaudioso says, and if city officials replace them all at once, it would significantly alter Mount Hope’s appearance. Maybe it’s the vengeful Biblical quotes
scrawled on the inside wall or the small brick alcoves that once held the bodies of people unfortunate enough to die when the ground is frozen, but Mount Hope’s “old” chapel, located just inside the cemetery’s north entrance, is much creepier than the 1812 chapel. George Eastman was cremated here in the crematorium at the old chapel, and after Frederick Douglass died in February, 1895, his body was stored here until the ground thawed. The city is doing what it can to maintain the two chapels, Gaudioso says, until the master plan is finished and funding found to rehabilitate them. The plan will identify potential funding sources for the recommendations it makes, she says, as well as how to phasein the different aspects of the plan. Mitch Rowe, the city’s buildings and parks director, says that the master plan may also help the cemetery achieve a national historic designation, which could bring in more funding. The older portion of the cemetery, the north side, is in a preservation district, he says, which provides certain protections. The newer, south side, for the most part, does not have a historic designation, Rowe says. Dealing with historic landscapes is analogous to dealing with historic buildings, says Caitlin Meives, preservation planner with the Landmark Society. “Landscape is still a piece of design,” she says. “You want to maintain the integrity of the design and make sensitive changes when you need to.” The cemetery is being divided into different “landscape character zones” to make sure each section’s individual needs are addressed. The zones are based on topography, layout, vegetation, visual character, and other traits, Gaudioso says. “This is not a generic master plan for the whole cemetery,” she says. “They’re going to do their analysis based on each of these areas.” Development of the plan is being led by Hunt Engineers, Architects, and Land Surveyors of Horseheads, New York, and a project advisory group is helping guide and shape the process. The group includes neighborhood and merchants associations; Wayne Goodman, executive director of the Landmark Society; Ed Doherty, the city’s former commissioner of environmental services; the Friends of Mount Hope Cemetery; the University of Rochester; and others. A draft of the plan should be ready by the end of the year, Gaudioso says, at which time the city will likely seek public comment. The final plan should be ready by June 2016.

THE
EASTMAN ENGINE
DEVELOPMENT | BY JEREMY MOULE
t’s fitting that the fate of Kodak’s massive industrial complex on East Ridge Road, at least for the foreseeable future, will be tied to film. Kodak was born out of George Eastman’s desire to bring photography to the masses. And his invention of roll film made the company an American manufacturing giant.
I
Film is also what led Kodak to rethink its role at the former Kodak Park, which has evolved into Eastman Business Park. The reinvented park is a multi-tenant operation which caters in large part to growing tech-oriented companies. Kodak has sold or leased space to 58 tenants, ranging from larger established operations like LiDestri Foods to battery start-ups and collaborative labs. “There’s no doubt it’s an asset now. It’s stable, it’s growing, there’s new jobs and new companies coming in there,” says Mark Peterson, president and CEO of Greater Rochester Enterprise, a regional economic development agency. “Now the question is, how do we maximize that asset?” And film has, in a way, provided a path. The new, post-bankruptcy Kodak mostly provides products and services to other businesses, and Eastman Business Park is, in a way, one of those products. When a company leases space in the park, it has the ability to hire Kodak to help develop chemicals, scale-up manufacturing, or analyze a product’s performance. Because of that, many Rochester-area elected and business leaders see Eastman Business Park as a crucial economic engine for the region. It’s a place where new products will be developed, refined, and produced, and where workers with vocational skills or advanced science degrees will find jobs. 8 CITY

But there came a point last year when Kodak wanted out of the landlord business — even though it was deeply involved in the park’s operations. As the company worked through bankruptcy and contemplated an exit from the film-manufacturing business, Kodak put the Eastman property on the market. Company and local leaders wanted to put the complex in the hands of someone who could invest in the infrastructure and recruit new businesses. Kodak, however, is keeping the park. The company’s new leadership, including CEO Jeffrey Clarke, made the decision in the spring, a few months after Kodak and major movie studios inked a deal for Kodak to produce film for the studios. The deal was backed by bigtime directors J.J. Abrams, Christopher Nolan, Claus Daniel of the Oak Ridge National Lab says that the facility is partnering with Kodak to help Quentin Tarantino, and others. promising technologies get to market.

jobs within five years. Most of the beets should come from New York farmers. Columbia Care also plans to put a 204,000-square-foot medical-marijuana growing and dispensing operation in the park. The company has received one of five medicalmarijuana licenses from the state, and has a sevenyear lease agreement with Eastman Business Park. So how does all this fit with a place better known for film, printers, chemicals, batteries, and solar power? The answer comes down to utilities and transportation. Eastman Business Park has a dedicated high-volume water supply and rail lines that can deliver shipments right to some of the buildings. Both resources are incredibly valuable to food-processing companies, says GRE’s Peterson. LiDestri, for example, brings in 10 railcars filled with tomatoes each day, he says. Columbia Care representatives declined to talk about why they picked Eastman Business Park. But in a June press release announcing Columbia’s plan, the availability of a large, secure space seemed to play a role. (Kodak had to maintain high-security areas for some of its government and defense work.) Natcore Technology opened its 19,000-square-
foot research and development facility at Eastman Business Park in 2012, making it another one of the complex’s early tenants. The company, which is commercializing solar-cell technology, recently signed another two-year lease for the space. But it also moved its company headquarters from Red Bank, New Jersey, to its existing offices on Water Street in the City of Rochester. Many local officials would like to see other companies follow a similar pattern: a company comes to Eastman Business Park to do research or commercialization work and
ultimately brings along other operations, such as manufacturing or sales. And officials say they’re confident that will happen. “So many companies these days want to have their research and development right next to their manufacturing facility, because there’s a big disconnect if you don’t do that,” Peterson says. “And that’s what everything at Eastman Business Park is geared toward.” Energy technology companies may hold some of the greatest promise for future growth at the park. Last year, the New York Battery and Energy Storage Technology Consortium opened its commercialization center at Eastman Business Park. The idea behind the $23- million facility is to help companies bring emerging technologies to market by giving them access to extensive testing and analytical equipment and services. It’s open to all NY-BEST members, but is especially convenient for park tenants. The facility has already helped draw three commercialization-stage battery companies, who are set to move into the park this year. A new partnership between Kodak and the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory could also connect additional startups with Eastman Business Park. Oak Ridge officials wanted to tap into Kodak’s knowledge of films and coating, and its experience bringing those technologies to market. And Oak Ridge scientists, in turn, will help park tenants if they have problems with their fundamental technologies. “I think we’re increasing the likelihood of success of the new technology to actually make it to market,” says Claus Daniel of Oak Ridge National Laboratory. As more of the park’s tenants make the
transition to commercial production,
they’re going to need a different type of workforce. College grads with science and engineering degrees can do the research, but manufacturing tenants’ technologies will require trained technicians who can operate complicated machinery. That’s why Monroe Community College officials, working with colleagues at Genesee Community College and Finger Lakes Community College, want to set up the Finger Lakes Regional Workforce Development Center at Eastman Business Park. Todd Oldham, MCC’s vice president of economic and workforce development, says that the school envisions a 40,000to 60,000-square-foot facility that runs accelerated training programs in tooling and machining, optical systems technology, information technology, and mechatronics, which uses electronic devices to control complex industrial technology, including pneumatics and hydraulics. MCC officials also want to develop an internship program at the facility, which would give students a chance to get hands-on experience at Eastman Business Park companies. “When you think about being able to partner with those companies and get access to some of that from an instructional perspective, that’s quite powerful,” Oldham says. “It surpasses what we could do in a facility by itself, or even here at the college. You’re not going to be able to create labs like that.” College officials are pursuing state funding for the facility, which carries an estimated $25-million cost and will operate in addition to MCC’s Applied Technologies Center on West Henrietta Road. It’ll provide additional space for accelerated programs, which are meant to meet known workforce needs across the region.
The White House recently announced that
the Rochester region will be home to a new Department of Defense-backed photonics manufacturing institute. The effort will mean over $600 million in federal, state, and industry investment in space for a company headquarters and labs, though not all of the money will be spent in the region. Much still has to be decided about the new institute, but the planning efforts will tie directly into the Finger Lakes Regional Economic Development Council’s application for the Upstate Revitalization Initiative. Under that program, seven Upstate regions will compete for one of three $500 million state economic development awards. Both efforts — photonics and URI — will emphasize industries and industry clusters, and though it’s not clear what Eastman Business Park’s role will be in them, it’s almost certain to tie in somehow. “Certainly, EBP will be a player because things like energy and manufacturing and everything will be a part of that,” Peterson says of the URI. “But to what extent that site alone will play a role in things like optics, for example, and photonics remains to be seen.” The URI application is also expected to emphasize the region’s agriculture and foodproduction industries, and the park could play a role in those plans, too. No matter what role the complex has or doesn’t have in the two broader efforts, it’s clear that the region’s top elected leaders and economic development officials believe in the park. No longer do they see it as a crisis waiting to happen, but as a continuing opportunity for the Rochester community. “I don’t lose sleep anymore about Eastman Business Park,” Peterson says. “I used to, but I don’t now.” rochestercitynewspaper.com

Charming cocktails Nox Cocktail Lounge 302 NORTH GOODMAN STREET, AT VILLAGE GATE MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, 4 P.M. TO 12 A.M.; SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, 12 P.M. TO 12 A.M. 471-8803; NOXCOCKTAIL.COM [ REVIEW ] BY CHRIS LINDSTROM
When you see the large wooden doors from the congested Village Gate parking lot, Nox already has a distinct feel that is markedly different from other cocktail bars in the Rochester area. As a self-proclaimed “nerd pub,” the names of the drinks, food, and even the name of the business come from different literary and film references. I found that to be charming (queue the Harry Potter references) and it doesn’t stop with the names either. The seating and tables are eclectic and the bar has what I would consider the most comfortable stools I’ve ever found — seriously, it’s hard to go back to the normal, more rigid versions
once you’ve spent time in Nox’s chairs in front of the wall of bottles. It is important to say that although Nox does have a food menu, it is a cocktail bar first and foremost. The drink menu currently has 17 options to choose from, but if one of your favorites isn’t there anymore, there are at least 55 on the “secret” menu that can be available if you cast the right spell. During my visits, I sampled four different cocktails, all based on different liquors. I ended up making my first visit during the launch event of Soltado Tequila — a Serrano and cinnamon infused aged liquor — so I went with one of the specials that focused on it. The Russian’s Cat ($10) was a twist on the Margarita with tandem blood orange and lime liqueurs, lemon bitters, and smoked salt that played the heat of the pepper against the sweetness nicely. Damn tasty and a smart idea although it could have used a touch of acidity. The Yellow Wallpaper ($12) ran over my palate in waves, transitioning from the citrusy lemon and the aromatics from the gin to the floral
and piney finish of the lavender. A smooth, easy drink considering how much alcohol was in it. Speaking of higher test drinks, the Cylon #7 ($11) features 100-proof Rittenhouse rye, Cynar aperitif, blood orange purée, and Q tonic water was tasty as well: each of the ingredients served to round the others out and the dry tonic finish was notably pleasant. Although the Hufflepuff ($10) was a hard worker and loyal, the peach liqueur and blueberries dominated the palate and didn’t offer much balance. A stronger influence from ginger or lemon would have been beneficial. Hanging out at the bar is an engaging experience and is highly recommend if you’re less familiar to craft cocktails. I spent some time talking with owner James Black about the flavor profiles of more obscure ingredients; he was quite knowledgeable and informative. I know drinks with five or six contributors can be confusing, but I’ve found that breaking down each part helps to understand how each item helps build a complete story.
plays in the comfort food sandbox which to me is a smart choice for the relaxed vibe of the place. Although almost all the dishes made sense conceptually, the consistency of execution was the biggest issue that we had. On the positive side of things, the Criminally Addictive Chickpeas ($4) embiggened my spirit with a lightly spicy, crispy exterior and just right amount of salt to keep you coming back bite after bite. Law and Order: KFC ($9) was a (DUN DUN) rock solid fried chicken sandwich on an interesting, flattened biscuit. The chicken breast remained moist beneath the crunchy, craggy breading and the 1,000 Island dressing brought both creaminess and needed acidity. I loved the flatbread thin biscuits that had all the buttery goodness of a biscuit, but didn’t fall apart as easily. A grilled Caesar salad, the Et Tu, Bruté? ($7), balanced the smokiness from the sear of the lettuce and the bacon against the richness of the dressing, cheese, and croutons. It was one of the better twists on the classic I’ve had recently. The Approximately Heaven ($8) fell a bit short of that high praise, but was a safe choice as a BLT dressed up with avocado and an added egg. Despite Admiral Ackbar’s warning, I tried It’s a Trap ($7), a smoked gouda sauce and bacon over fries creation. I enjoyed the light smoke and cheesiness of the sauce, but it was mostly left solidified on top of the textbook fries which just weren’t acceptable. Calvin’s Mac ($9) had plenty of imagination with the seared Zweigle’s Red Hot pieces and Red Hot chips, but the seized up cheddar sauce lacked salt and any notable flavor. For desert, the Moons of Kronos ($4) and the Lembas Balls ($4) were wildly different desserts, but equally tasty. If you want heavier and sweeter, go for the chocolate covered peanut butter balls, or you could go for the salt and honey covered fried pretzel balls for a relatively lighter finish to your meal. Walking away from my visits, I felt confident about the drinks and the environment, and optimistic about the comfort food concept. A little more attention to detail will help to improve the execution issues with the food that otherwise I have no problem recommending.

“Electric Fog Machine” Self-released Jovontaes.bandcamp.com

Totally on a whim, I went and caught Jovontaes’s instore set at The Record Archive the other night. This spectacular instrumental outfit is from Lexington, Kentucky, and its music is from out of this world. If you missed it, you can dig the band’s dreamy new CD (its previous half dozen releases were on cassette), “Electric Fog Machine,” over and over. In what can be simply called a lushly salacious psychedelic lullaby, the mere three-piece band builds hypnotic textures from the ground up, a la Robert Fripp without the math, ultimately landing in a big sky vista, like The Friends of Dean Martinez — a band that sounds like Santo and Johnny on fire. Despite Jovontaes’s musical complexity, it isn’t at the listener’s expense. The music levels off comfortably. Each spin of this CD reveals new layers in tone as well as energy and rhythm, taunting and haunting. The more you listen, the more you hear … the more you want to hear. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

The Prickers “The Story of Our Storm” Hope Alive Media theprickers.com
Within the first few revolutions of “Die in Bloom” off of The Prickers’ latest, “The Story of Our Storm,” the band successfully suggest and adopts every emotion you can think of — well, joy mostly. It’s just that the band’s simple complexity washes over the listener so rapidly. Heels get kicked up and the stomping commences so fast and convincingly that you can’t help but follow suit. There is a distinct old-tyme shine on this band that flies in the face of its own contemporary songwriting. To call the band a throwback would be an over-simplification. There are plenty of bands around here that mix multiple genres and stories and zip codes, but few get it as right as The Prickers. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

TUESDAY, AUGUST 11 BOP SHOP RECORDS, 1460 MONROE AVENUE 8:30 P.M. | $15-$20 | 271-3354 BOPSHOP.COM; WILLHOLSHOUSER.COM [ FEATURE ] BY RON NETSKY
A musician put his accordion on the back seat of his car, drove for a while, and stopped to eat before heading to his gig. He was halfway through dinner when he realized he’d forgotten to lock his car door. He ran out to his car, but it was too late. There, on the back seat, were two accordions. At the time I heard that joke, the accordion was, to put it mildly, out of favor. Decades of “The Lawrence Welk Show” had rendered the instrument squarer than square. But when Will Holshouser brings his Musette Explosion to Bop Shop Records on Tuesday he’ll be playing one of the hippest instruments of the 21st century. The accordion is back. Holshouser was studying jazz piano at Wesleyan University in the late 1980’s when a friend bought him an accordion. “It was almost a joke,” Holshouser says. “We got back from summer vacation and he said, ‘Hey, I got you a surprise.’ It was this musty old accordion and I loved it right away. It reminded me of a lot of folk music that I liked and the music of some bands like The Pogues.”
From Cajun groups like Beausoleil, to Klezmer bands like the Klezmatics, Holshouser realized people were doing new, progressive things with traditional music and he wanted in. “The accordion got me out of the jazz head space,” Holshouser says. “It was a good way to connect with a lot of folk music that wasn’t really part of the piano [repertoire] and a doorway to a lot of the music that I really enjoyed.” He taught himself to play by listening to records; there was no one teaching accordion at Wesleyan. But he did get an invaluable musical education there from jazz great Anthony Braxton. “At the time I was writing 32-bar jazz tunes and he said, ‘Put some more surprises in your music: a line as long as you can possibly write, make your compositions in different shapes.’ He broke me out of a certain mold of jazz composition. Studying with him was a revelation.” After moving to New York, Holshouser eventually found an accordion mentor: William Schimmel, who played with Tom Waits and others. Now an accordion virtuoso, Holshouser is in demand. He works with violinist Regina Carter, he plays Klezmer music with clarinetists David Krakauer and Andy Statman, and works with others, from folk singer Loudon Wainwright III to avant-garde drummer Han Bennink.
But with keys on one side, chord buttons on the other, and the bellows in the middle, how in the world does he play that convoluted contraption? “There are two separate boxes, your hands are operating two separate mechanisms and you’re operating the bellows in between,” Holshouser says, “but it becomes a unified action. Even though it’s the wackiest looking activity, you get used to doing it in a unified way. It has a lot to do with breathing. “Even though it’s a machine, there’s breath in there so it almost feels like you’re singing because you’re using breath in a virtual way. You can feel it vibrating on your chest. It’s a very strange little machine but if you play it enough, it becomes part of you like any musical instrument would.” Then there’s the obscure, but infectious music Holshouser is playing: Parisian Musette. The word “musette” actually refers to a small bagpipe, and these bagpipes, played by migrants from the south of France, were the main instruments used in this style of Parisian dancehall music when it began in the 19th century. But Holshouser explains, around 1900 there was a wave of migration from Italy to Paris and Italians brought accordions. “The accordion was louder, more modern and it could play in all different keys so it pretty quickly eclipsed the little musette bagpipe as the main instrument
SOUTH WEDGE area businesses & restaurants
in the dance halls,” Holshouser says. In addition to its French and Italian heritage, the music is influenced by Romani music and the American jazz brought to Paris during World War II. Holshouser first heard the music in the early 1990’s when old Musette recordings were re-released on a French label. “I had just discovered the instrument and was looking for any recording that had an accordion on it,” Holshouser says. “I wanted to see what the sonic possibilities were. Musette is a music where the accordion is the lead voice and the players get a wonderful bunch of colors and textures out of it.” Musette has the power to conjure up something in our minds: a time and place that maybe we never experienced but know from late-night black-and-white movie scenes of Parisian street corners. “There’s a large pleasure factor,” Holshouser says. “It’s party music from dancehalls and brothels; people partying, drinking wine. “The nostalgic aspect is there, and we love the old repertoire, but we want to bring something new to it so we do it in a New York way; we improvise a lot.” He has also written new tunes in the style. Holshouser says there are a lot of bands finding old music and doing new things but, “This is the only one that I know of that combines these particular flavors in this way.” As a result, the trio — with Matt Munisteri on guitar and six-string banjo, and Marcus Rojas on tuba — is getting lots of gigs. Holshouser can’t say enough about his band-mates. “Matt is not a typical Gypsy jazz player, he’s got a voice that combines George Barnes and country music. Marcus is a veteran of the avant-garde scene, playing with Henry Threadgill and Lester Bowie. He’s also an accomplished classical player; he’s played with The Metropolitan Opera and tours with Paul Simon.” The trio will soon embark on a West Coast tour during which Holshouser will bring his accordion onto the stage at the prestigious Monterey Jazz Festival. Given the accordion’s new-found respect, this might be the last time you’ll hear his favorite joke about the instrument: What’s the definition of perfect pitch? When you throw an accordion into a dumpster and it lands on a banjo.

Hard-working singer-songwriter Christopher Paul Stelling recently released his third album, “Labor Against Waste,” in June. He will perform at South Wedge Mission on Friday, August 7. PHOTO BY JENN SWEENEY
“Labor” of love Christopher Paul Stelling WITH HIERONYMUS BOGS AND DOWNER STATE FRIDAY, AUGUST 7 SOUTH WEDGE MISSION, 125 CAROLINE STREET 7:30 P.M. | $10 | SOUTHWEDGEMISSION. ORG; CHRISTOPHERPAULSTELLING.COM [ FEATURE ] BY DANIEL J. KUSHNER
Singer-songwriter Christopher Paul Stelling is on the road to the Newport Folk Festival in a recently purchased, unassuming white touring van he has affectionately named Walt Whitman. As he recounts the various jobs he held throughout his 20’s — grocery store worker, luthier’s assistant, bookstore employee, sushi chef, dishwasher — a male blowup sex doll emerges from a car of teen girls passing by and waves at Stelling. I’d like to think that this odd vignette registers among the least bizarre scenes the 30-something Stelling has beheld as a folk musician who, by his count, has easily played more than 1,000 shows in his still-young career. No stranger to Rochester, the New York Citybased musician has played at both the Bug Jar and Abilene’s. He returns on Friday, August 7, to play the South Wedge Mission — a 16 CITY AUGUST 5-11, 2015
beautifully intimate church at 125 Caroline Street — alongside local supporting acts Hieronymus Bogs and Downer State (Tony Gill of Archimedes) as part of the concert series “Live at Mission Hall.” The show starts at 7:30 p.m. and there is a $10 suggested donation. Stelling is a charismatic performer whose raw yet tuneful voice and fervent fingerpicking guitar style emit a musical electricity that is seldom heard among the neo-folk stylings of musicians such as Devendra Banhart, Sufjan Stevens, and Sam Beam of Iron and Wine. And while there are some similarities in acoustic instrumentation and stripped-down settings of such artists, Stelling’s music is much closer to the folk music of earlier generations, the ones that gave us Bob Dylan and Dave Van Ronk, whose music was celebrated in the recent film “Inside Llewyn Davis.” “I just kind of have this question of, ‘What if you took elements of country blues and elements of classical guitar and elements of American primitive guitar playing and put ‘em with the kind of lyricism that some of your favorite lyricists would do?’” Stelling says. “‘And then what if you made that an intense live experience?’” Even with his obvious musical gifts, one gets the sense that Stelling would just as readily
have become a professional “people person” rather than a musician, if it only paid the bills. “Touring and playing music live is almost just a response to trying to make a living rather than working for somebody else,” he says. “It’s the only way I have to work for myself. If I had a Plan A, I probably would have used it.” In his frank yet easygoing manner, Stelling is
more eager to recall the generosity of those who have hosted him while on the road, and his relationships with the musicians he considers his true peers — Greg Jamie of O’Death, Will Houlihan of Haunt the House, and Joe Fletcher among them — than he is to opine about his own music. Still, it’s clear that Stelling was meant to make music. “I’ve played guitar for 23 years,” he says. “It’s just like I feel more comfortable holding a guitar at this point. When I’m not holding my guitar, my shoulders hurt, my back hurts. When I hold the guitar, I feel at rest.” On his recently released third album, “Labor Against Waste” (out on ANTI- Records), Stelling is more measured, wiser even, than on his previous release, 2013’s “False Cities.” “It was a little bit more calculated,” Stelling says of “Labor Against Waste.” “I made ‘False Cities’ in less than a week. You know, I just sat
down and did the damn thing. I’m a bit more grateful and gracious of a person, I’d like to think, now around the time of making ‘Labor Against Waste’ than making ‘False Cities.’ I’ve caught up with myself a little bit. I was experiencing a new lifestyle that left me kind of frayed. The lifestyle’s actually gotten more intense, but I’ve approached it with a little bit more grace.” While Stelling’s music is far from preachy, his lyrics have a message. In the song “Hard Work,” he communicates what amounts to his life philosophy: “And I know even when my song gets sung I will still recall where they all begun / and I just work real hard try not to complain till that sweet love make me whole again / and I know my work is never done till I can see the good in everyone.” This statement seems perfectly in line with Stelling’s “work-with-what-you’re-given” approach to songwriting. “I don’t really ever sit down and try to write,” he says. “I just do. When it happens, it happens, you know? And I’m glad that it happens. I just try to make time for myself to be available, which basically means to not really have any plans, and not do anything. And then if something shows up, that’s cool, and then you wrestle it to the ground and kick its ass.”

METAL | FEAR FACTORY
No metal band endorsement carries more weight these days than signing a deal with the world’s largest independent Heavy Metal record label, Nuclear Blast. Fear Factory’s ninth studio album and NB debut, “Genexus,” drops just 24 hours before the band’s show at Water Street Music Hall. “Genexus” is a concept album that explores singularity, a theory which predicts the merger of man and machine in the not too distant future. Established in 1989, Fear Factory has evolved itself into a creative metal band that still leaves room for insane riffs and lead singer Burton C. Bell’s clean and scream technique. Coal Chamber, Jasta, Madlife, and Saint Ridley share the bill. Fear Factory performs on Saturday, August 8, at Water Street Music Hall, 204 North Water Street. 6:30 p.m. $19$25. waterstreetmusic.com; fearfactory.com. — BY ROMAN DIVEZUR

SATURDAY, AUGUST 8 COUNTRY | DYLAN SCOTT
After winning two major talent competitions in Louisiana and Texas, resulting in a Walmart and FLW-sponsored tour, rookie country artist Dylan Scott’s upward trajectory seems paved before him. His progression from honky-tonk act to collaborative songwriter with Nashville’s newest class of musicians portrays a young talent steeped in the country tradition. His stage presence and a low baritone is what got him noticed initially, but his work ethic and evolving chops is carrying him to greater heights.

Opening the gates Gateways Music Festival TUESDAY, AUGUST 11, THROUGH SUNDAY, AUGUST 16 VARIOUS LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT ROCHESTER GATEWAYSMUSICFESTIVAL.ORG [ PREVIEW ] BY DAVID RAYMOND
Classical music boasts some stellar AfricanAmerican names: composers Scott Joplin, William Grant Still, and George Walker; singers Leontyne Price, Shirley Verrett, and William Warfield; and pianist André Watts, not to mention the many black musicians in our symphony orchestras. For 22 years, Gateways Music Festival’s aim has always been the same: to “increase the visibility and viability of classical musicians of African descent and to heighten public awareness of the contributions to classical music by musicians of African descent.” The festival, which has been based in Rochester for the last 20 years — and will take place this year on August 11 through August 16 — is devoted to the achievements and the development of African-American musicians. At each Gateways Festival, young professional and student musicians join forces with established orchestral musicians from the New York Philharmonic, Boston Symphony, Cleveland Orchestra, and many more ensembles. The festival’s schedule covers most of a week and includes daily concerts, panel discussions and forums, and master classes with guest artists: more than 30 events in all this year. This year’s guest lineup includes Anthony McGill, the principal clarinet of the New York Philharmonic, and the Harlem Quartet. Performance will take place throughout downtown Rochester, from the Hochstein School to City Hall, and culminate on Sunday, August 16, when Gateways musicians will take part in services at 15 local churches during the morning and unite for an orchestral concert at Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre, with conductor Michael Morgan and McGill as a soloist, in the afternoon. (All events are free; a complete schedule is at gatewaysmusicfestival.org.) The Gateways Music Festival started in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, as the idea of Armenta Adams Hummings, a prominent African-American pianist and music educator. It included orchestra and chamber music performances, an organ recital, and performances by young musicians. When Hummings joined the Eastman School of Music faculty in 1995, Gateways moved with her — 20 CITY AUGUST 5-11, 2015
and has continued in Rochester every other year, even after Hummings’s retirement from Eastman in 2009. Gateways music director Michael Morgan took part in the initial 1993 festival, and has returned to almost every festival since. A former assistant conductor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and a frequent guest conductor with important American orchestras, Morgan is now music director of the Oakland East Bay Symphony. “I met Armenta Adams Hummings in Chicago and was immediately impressed when she had the idea for the festival,” Morgan says. “The festival has grown in organization and is now a much more established part of the Rochester musical landscape.” During the 1993 festival, the orchestra, and Morgan, debuted playing short works of Bach and Mozart. Its programs have since included many cornerstones of the standard symphonic repertory, including Dvorak’s “New World” Symphony, Tchaikovsky’s and Shostakovich’s Fifths, and with a community chorus, Beethoven’s Ninth. The Gateways Festival also explores the rich heritage of African-American classical composition in America. For example, in 2013, the orchestra presented the “Negro Folk Symphony” by William Levi Dawson, a major work from 1934 that was championed by Leopold Stokowski. This year’s festival features another prolific African-American composer who has been rediscovered in recent years: Florence B. Price (1887-1953), who was the first AfricanAmerican woman to have her music performed by a major symphony orchestra. Price wrote four symphonies and many other orchestral, chamber, and vocal works. Her legacy inspires this year’s community education forum on black women composers (taking place Saturday, August 15, 5:30 p.m. at Hochstein). “We are performing Florence Price’s First Symphony this year,” Morgan says. “Her music is well-crafted and charming, but often is overlooked because there are so few thoughtful, inspired performances of it on record.” Last year, Morgan conducted the RPO in a concert including two movements from Price’s Third Symphony, but he adds he’s performed many African-American composers “from Price to Michael Abels, to Adolphus Hailstork, to Olly Wilson, to Hale Smith, to William Dawson, to William Grant Still; to name a few. That’s a very diverse group.” (The RPO premiered Still’s Afro-American Symphony — now considered an American classic — in 1931, under Howard Hanson.) “I grew up on the South Side of Chicago in the 60’s and 70’s, and being a black classical

musician was like being an alien from another planet,” says Lee Koonce, director of Gateways’ Artistic Programs Committee. He studied piano at Oberlin and Eastman and is now Executive Director of Ballet Hispanico in New York City. Koonce learned of Gateways “when I was Director of Community Relations for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. In 1997, the Orchestra brought five musicians and Armenta for a mini-residency. “The Festival’s mission spoke to my experience as a classically trained musician of African descent. Most of us grew up playing the music we loved as the only ones of African descent: the only ones in our communities, schools, churches, everywhere. Gateways is powerful because we have all had the same experience, whether in a major symphony orchestra or still in conservatory.” The festival has created a national network of up-and-coming musicians and those more established in their careers, Koonce says. “This is great for the younger musicians and the more experienced ones, too, since they feel they’re passing on their knowledge and experience. The festival made me realize how important the sense of community is for all of us.” In the last five years Gateways “has grown and developed exponentially,” Koonce says. “This year, we received twice as many applications than we were able to accommodate for the first time in our history; we are attracting many more musicians from major symphony orchestras, and we have been awarded two grants from the National Endowment for the Arts for Artistic Excellence.” “The best thing about the festival,” Morgan says, “is the camaraderie. We always leave wishing we could take more of the feeling from those rehearsals to other orchestras. It’s a supportive and familial atmosphere where some really great music is made.”

From the dozens of eyes locked onto phone screens to the passengers fast asleep in their seats, few bus riders stare around at the other commuters. Local illustrator Mark Payton, however, has a different thought.
Celebrating Caribbean culture, the Rochester West Indian Festival Organization (RWIFO) will present the 31st annual Carifest and parade on Saturday, August 8. Beginning at 11 a.m., the parade will feature the vibrant colors and costumes indicative of the West Indies. The parade begins at the Liberty Pole (intersection of East Avenue and East Main Street) and will run down East Main Street, ending at Brown Square Park (251 Verona Street). The festival begins there at 1 p.m., and will feature food, dance, music, arts, and crafts. Pop-reggae group Inner Circle, best known for the theme to the TV show “COPS,” will headline the musical roster.
Rubber ducks are prepping to flood the Erie Canal again, as the Brockport Arts Festival gears up for its 21st year. Sponsored by the Brockport Integrated Service & Community Organization (BISCO), the festival, held on Main Street in Brockport and running Saturday, August 8, through Sunday, August 9, features more than 100 artisanal vendors as well as a wine garden, live entertainment, and exhibits. Among the attractions will be a wine tasting at the Sagawa Park Big Tent, running 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday; live music from Nerds In Denial from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday; and the Duck Derby, beginning at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday. The derby, a race of rubber ducks down the Erie Canal, has a $5 single entrance fee, with a $1,000 Wegmans gift card to the first duck through the finish gate, and a total of $5,000 in prizes.

The story of “Seeing the City” begins with Payton’s arrival in Rochester, which brought with it a bout of unemployment. Constantly on the search for jobs, Payton, a member of the international “Urban Sketchers” organization, spent much of his days on the bus, keeping himself awake by quickly drawing sketches of the faces and sights around him. These works, done as an attempt to learn how to sketch quickly, are often rough images, scrawled in about five minutes, yet still hoping to catch the spirit of Rochester and its inhabitants.

The selections for the 65th RochesterFinger Lakes Exhibition, now on view at the Memorial Art Gallery, showcase an impressive skillset, a cross-section of how and what our regional artists are creating, and what is weighing on their minds. Evidently, these concerns range widely, from lofty meditations on religious tradition and explorations on the nature of imagination and connection, to angst about our cultural — and planetary — climate. Golden light in Lanna Pejovic’s oil painting, “The Listener II,” conjures a sense of gentle wonder. The sacred-space geometry of the tree tunnel is at once grounding and uplifting, the energy held in form but soaring toward the source. This work is part of a series Pejovic has been working on, in which she repeatedly explores the arch of trees over a pathway in Mendon Ponds Park as reminiscent of the architecture of some cathedrals. In her provided statement, Pejovic says she emphasizes this connection “by simplifying the essential structure to focus the viewer inward.” A mixed-media work by Alejandro Gutiérrez explores a different kind of sacred space, but he injects the mess of flesh in his wonderment. The moment of “The First Kiss” is symbolically distilled in dusky pigment and crushed cloth, suspended literally from the ceiling, and figuratively in a permanent moment of discovery. “It’s a defining moment ... where, at that instance of connection, curiosity takes a leap into an experience beyond self,” he says in a provided statement. The commonplace materials Gutiérrez uses introduce a sense of irreverence and banality, but also universality, to the concepts he considers. He describes the work: “Two shirts 22 CITY AUGUST 5-11, 2015
slowly rotate, lost and entangled in a heartshaped embrace,” purposefully anonymous in order to underscore that connection is genderless, and defies all category. In her superbly crafted oil painting, “Still Life with Starfruit, Blue Vase, and Teapot,” Trish Coonrod sets jeweled cobalt and waxy chartreuse vibrating against a subdued background. The careful attention to hue and to the balance of curves and sharp edges mirrored throughout set this lush work apart from others in what can be a stuffy genre of painting. “Craftsmanship” may not be the first word that comes to mind when looking at Stephanie McMahon’s three ambiguous paintings, but it’s certainly present in her gestural strokes, and the control of the medium exhibited in the sharp masking of curved edges, rendering planes impermeable to dripping washes of pigment. The resulting disconcertingly-odd, dimensional layers of acidic color in “Sweet & Sour” earned her the Memorial Art Gallery Award, but I actually favored the other two: “Plume,” with its dramatically undulating lines rising from a ravine; and “Flag,” with colorful planes and scribbles arranged rhymelessly, flying in the face of the futility and brutality of marking borders with banners. A portion of the works are rife with anxiety:
Rich Tomasello’s “Breathe, I Can’t” is a dense and ominous block of child-size gas masks, the impossible tangle of hoses in the solid, megalithic form rendering them useless in the immediate. The skewed title takes on added horror in a post-Eric Garner America. Barbara McPhail’s hellish monotype, “Neighborhood Fires,” pictures a home explosion from natural gas leakage and build up due to local hydrofracking, and is based on actual events, she says. The work shows a rolling wasteland of fracking zones, in which pipes spout flames, a house is engulfed, and the shadow of clothes on a line becomes a body count floating limply in the wind, helpless against the misuse of eminent domain. John Vincent Kastner says his chaotic, jam-packed illustration, “Boxed Sun with Fries and Assorted Captions,” is his “anguished cry against the fouling of a perfectly beautiful planet by my favorite species.” The cartoonish work deserves at least 20 minutes of study to better appreciate his acerbic jabs at our profound lack of foresight. Summed up simply, he says, “We need to stop eating our children.”

Collages by Jeff Suszczynski expertly exploit the lovely prank of rearranging imagery. Of three works, I favored “To keep them from wandering…,” a collaged cult featuring gargantuan, incredulous eyes comically set on what I’ll call Boardroom Jesus, who is flanked at the roundtable by a ring of standing devotees. Trickling down from there, more images suggest obedience from the flock. “Store Fronts — Jackson, Mississippi,” are a series of photos by Edgar G. Praus, who shoots scenes of this sort all over the country, documenting the tail end of an era. FOR RENT signs spangle the windows and doors of Mom and Pop businesses. The character and quirks of the hand-painted signs will be replaced, no doubt, by stale corporate signage and logos — the emblems and crests of who can afford the shifting landscape. Paolo Marino’s stark woodcut print, “This New Dawn,” is part of a series of narratives that attempt to place events from his own life within a sort of primeval world, he says. “The point was to try to see if there was a way to expose the timeless and universal qualities of my own personal experience.” Within the sharply contrasted light and shadow, nudes in the landscape hail or hide from the light. The image reads a bit like the excited apes in “2001: A Space Odyssey,” injected with the exuberance and terror of the inexorable future.

If that (R), DIRECTED BY WOODY ALLEN suggests an obliviousness (or perhaps ambivalence) OPENS FRIDAY to the attention being paid to his personal life, [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW “Irrational Man” at least hints that some of the outside world may finally be sinking in. Here we are once again: another year, another Maintaining the kind of pace Allen does Woody Allen film. The prolific director’s latest inevitably has an impact on his output, and his cinematic endeavor comes packed with the recent films have a tendency to arrive feeling only filmmaker’s trademarks: erudite intellectuals sit half-baked. The reason may be explained by a around conversing about philosophy and morality recent interview with NPR, in which the director until an ill-conceived scheme (or two) comes admits that for him filmmaking isn’t a passion, along to shake up the snow-globe sized world but simply “a pleasant way to make a living.” That they inhabit.

Abe may once have been a visionary thinker, filled with potential, but he’s not anymore.

Yet somehow he’s still irresistible to women.

boyfriend (Jamie Blackley) doesn’t stop her from relentlessly pursuing her professor’s attentions. She obsesses over him, projecting her own idealistic notions on the man; where most see “troubled,” she sees “fascinating and vulnerable.” Though Abe is followed by persistent rumors of his past dalliances with students, faculty seem inexplicably to look the other way. Meanwhile, an unhappily married fellow professor named Rita (Parker Posey, faring best of the bunch) enters into an affair with Abe, wanting to see herself as the muse capable of bringing the depressed man back to vigorous life. Jill and Abe’s relationship follows the expected course – with him pushing her away and her growing more insistent – until the moment he overhears a stranger’s conversation, which presents him with a unique opportunity. As Abe formulates a plot that may help him get his groove back, the film shifts gears and the loose comedy begins to contemplate the darker side of human nature. Allen is covering similar moral territory as his great “Crimes and Misdemeanors,” but unlike that film, which separated its tonal shifts into two separate stories – cutting between the two and allowing them to complement and enrich one another as needed – here they coexist uneasily in a single plot. There’s a sharp divide between the two halves of the film, and the result is a romance that isn’t really romantic fused to a thriller that never truly thrills. “Irrational Man” eventually reveals itself as a coming-of-age story of sorts for Jill (which actually makes it sound even creepier than it is).

Pulp friction “Dark Places”
The plot revolves around her naiveté falling away as her illusions about Abe are shattered. But since we see straight away what kind of man he is, that means we’re forced to wait around for her to catch up. One of the reasons so many like myself are inclined to read certain aspects of Allen’s films as commentary on his own life is the increasing sense that Allen has over the years grown disconnected from average human beings. Even his more successful recent work like “Blue Jasmine” displays a certain tone-deafness in its portrayal of the supposedly blue-collar characters played by Sally Hawkins and Bobby Cannavale. Allen seem to have no idea what those types of character might actually look like, so in his insular world, he’s required to look more and more inward in an effort to come up with material. (As Abe engages in immoral behavior and expects to get away with it, he’s given to proclamations justifying his behavior, telling Jill that “if it feels right, it often is.” He dismisses those who discuss his proclivities as nobodies “filling their lonely hours with gossip.” Allen throws these lines in as if daring us to make our own connections, whether they’re there or not.) But “Irrational Man” distinguishes itself from the rest of Allen’s filmography through a sense of self-awareness about its troubled genius. For once, the director views his main character with a certain skepticism (it’s right there in the title). Instead of revering Abe, Jill eventually wakes up to see him for the sad man he is. Of course, he still gets to sleep with her first.

THE SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE Thursday, August 6, 8 p.m.
Where cinema is an event. 7 days a week.
dryden.eastmanhouse.org Sponsored by
Víctor Erice’s spellbinding The Spirit of the Beehive is widely regarded as the greatest Spanish film of the 1970s. In a small Castilian village in 1940, six-year-old Ana attends a traveling movie show of Frankenstein and becomes possessed by the memory of it. Produced as Franco’s long regime was nearing its end, The Spirit of the Beehive is a bewitching portrait of a child’s haunted inner life and one of the most visually arresting movies ever made. (El espíritu de la colmena, Víctor Erice, Spain 1973, 95 min., 35mm, Spanish w/ subtitles) Eastman House members admitted free to this screening. Part of the series Víctor Erice.
Grace Moretz (“Kick-Ass”) laying it on appropriately thick as the manipulative teen temptress Diondra. The drab modern-day action doesn’t fare as well despite the efforts of performers like Corey Stoll (“Ant-Man”), Drea DeMatteo (“The Sopranos”), and the unavoidably elegant Theron. Theron dutifully slouches and scowls as the resentful Libby — described in the book as 4’11” and a D cup, incidentally — but there aren’t enough dingy baseball caps in the world to dim Theron’s inherent dazzle. Take a bunch of people with questionable morals (or preferably no morals at all), toss them in an isolated spot, add a sprinkle of stolen cash, and wait to see who gets stabbed in the back (or shot, or strangled ... you get the idea): It’s a classic film noir setup and one that director Oren Shai employs for his first feature, “The Frontier,” a confident, Coen-esque debut about a couple of fateful days at a shabby Arizona motel. Our heroine is Laine (Jocelin Donahue), who arrives at The Frontier with someone else’s money clip and choke marks on her neck, the latter of which inspires the steely proprietress Luanne (Kelly Lynch, we missed you!) to offer her a job. It’s not long before more odd ducks show up at The Frontier, and it’s not a coincidence. “The Frontier” is populated by a recognizable cast of character actors, including the guy who married the Widow Garrett on “Deadwood” (Jim Beaver) and the guy who played Tom Hanks’ kid in “The Road to Perdition” (Liam Aiken). And though not everything works — the performances are occasionally stiff and the dialogue seems forced at times — Lynch turns in a solid performance, and Donahue anchors the film as the quick-thinking Laine. She has a face made for movies, as though she just wandered out of a Truffaut flick, and that fascinatingly anachronistic vibe extends across the entire film. Rochester Premiere! Director in Person!
THE FRONTIER Friday, August 7, 8 p.m.
Laine, a young woman on the run from the law, turns up at the Frontier, an isolated desert motel, and accepts a job there. But soon, Laine realizes she has stumbled into an even bigger and more dangerous situation. “Rooted in film history, The Frontier and its characters are inseparable from various stations that informed my love of cinema . . . The experience I wanted to create is comparable to that of holding an old paperback novel in your hands—highly stylized, yet gritty, the pages disintegrating in your hands.” – Oren Shai (Oren Shai, US 2015, 88 min., DCP) Discussion with Oren Shai will follow the screening.

Ryan Smith
As I drove down the tree lined road on my way to 99 Navarre Road in the 14621 Neighborhood, all I could think about was the great location. A quiet, beautifully maintained street off of St. Paul St. is the setting for this lovely, early 20th century home. And virtually around the corner is the Olmsted designed Seneca Park and Seneca Park Zoo. A quick bike ride away is the Maplewood Rose Garden and YMCA. You are moments away from the Irondequoit line and expressways and ten minutes from downtown. So, as they say, location, location, location. However, once you step foot into the entryway and see the beautiful wooden doors, many with multi-paned glass, you realize that there’s a lot more going for this house than just the location. Listing it as a four bedroom with two full baths doesn’t take into account the spacious master suite in the finished attic or the additional shower and toilet in the finished basement. This is a very bright, large 2,000 square foot home with wonderful features like a fireplace in the living room, adjacent office/playroom and formal dining room on the main floor. The bedrooms are a variety of sizes (none too small) with a variety of closet space. But the closet space in the master suite is a clothes horse’s dream. Spanning an entire wall, the closet is a definite plus in this already charming and nicely finished space with newly laid wood floor. And storage space
is abundant throughout the house, especially in the partially finished basement. The basement also has a wood burning fireplace and workshop area with laundry. The original wood floors are throughout the second floor and stairways and really set the mood of this homey and comfortable house. There is original, natural woodwork and wonderful built-in’s, like a linen chest in the second floor hallway, window seat in the living room and a little bench in the little bedroom, which is sure to please anyone but especially a little one who is lucky enough to call this room their own. Like many older houses, the nooks and crannies at 99 Navarre make it a special place for young and old. However, there are plenty of modern amenities in the bathrooms and kitchen. This is definitely a cook’s kitchen, with a large island and plenty of counter space for preparing birthday cakes and special meals. And that is exactly what sets this house apart from many others; the capacity for future memories in a home that you just feel is filled with memories from families that took such good care of it in the past. Asking price for 99 Navarre Rd. is $117,900. Contact Linda Wilson with Nothnagle Realtors at 585-750-5034. by Larry Francer Larry is Associate Director of Preservation at The Landmark Society.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD
Ironies
An 87-year-old man, taking his license renewal driving test in Deerfield, Illinois, in June, accidentally crashed into the driver’s license office (based on brake/ accelerator confusion). Neither he nor the examiner was injured. An 83-year-old man, driving around Cape Coral, Florida, in May, suffered a fatal heart attack at the wheel, and the uncontrolled car came to rest in shrubbery ringing the Florida Heart Associates building. Wrong Place, Wrong Time: (1) A court in Lincoln, Nebraska, which had already sent Paul Boye to prison for at least 10 years for shooting his girlfriend, ordered him in June to cover her resulting medical bills. The woman had taken a .22-caliber bullet, which left a scar cutting right through her tattoo reading “Happiness Is A Warm Gun.” (2) A task force of Benton, Arkansas, police and U.S. Marshals tracked down Tieren Watson, 26, in June after he had spent several days on the lam as a suspect in a shooting. When arrested, he was wearing a T-shirt reading “You Can Run, But You Can’t Hide.”
We Are Not Alone
(1) Scientists from Australia’s James Cook University told reporters in June that they had spotted an aggressive fish that can walk on land making its way toward the country from Papua New Guinea. The native freshwater “climbing perch” can live out of water for days and has survived short saltwater treks from PNG
toward Australia’s Queensland. (2) In July, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department posted a warning photo of a so-far-rare Texas Redhead — an 8-inch-long centipede with gangly white legs tipped with venomdelivering fangs and which eats lizards and toads.
Wait, What?
Mine worker Joshua Clay claimed in a lawsuit that a foreman had twice taunted him for complaining about conditions — by restraining him and spray-painting his testicles white. Clay filed against Kielty Mine in Mingo County, West Virginia, in July, alleging that the company had forced him to work on the dirty side of a coal-dust conversion machine — a practice forbidden by federal regulations — and that when he complained, he was subjected to off-the-books discipline.
Profile in Leadership
Maryland state Delegate Ariana Kelly was charged with trespassing and indecent exposure in June after she arrived at her ex-husband’s home to drop off their kids and learned that his girlfriend was inside. According to police, she started banging on the door and ringing the bell repeatedly and, aware that her husband had a camera trained on the doorway, she faced it, exposed her breasts and shook them, one in each hand, toward the lens. Eventually, she dared an officer to arrest her. (The Washington Post reported that Kelly is a member of a legislative task force studying maternal mental health issues.)
[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 28 ]
[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Interesting circumstances will arise at work-related events this week. Your knowledge and savvy way of dealing with people will grab attention as well as the personal interest of someone looking for more than just a work relationship. Flirting will lead to romance and an intense encounter. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Relationships will be difficult to deal with. You’ll have a problem keeping a secret, and, in turn, face an emotional turn of events that leaves you in limbo when dealing with someone you hoped to form a close bond with. Rethink your strategy,
and put compromise and equality into play. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll have plenty of choice, but your indecisiveness will stand between you and making a commitment to someone vying for your attention. Don’t feel you have to make a choice, but at least offer honesty. Leading someone on will cost you your reputation and chance to revisit a potential relationship. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Do your own thing; let your imagination wander. Enjoy getting into a project that excites you, and you will attract someone who wants to share your interests and explore your mind. Put passion at
the top of your list, no matter what you do. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your high energy level coupled with your hands-on help will entice and intrigue someone watching you do your thing. Consider reconnecting with someone who has always piqued your interest, but the timing was never right. Love is in the stars, and a little romantic innuendo will seal the deal. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Socialize or take part in events or activities that pump you up and get your adrenalin flowing. Once motivated, you’ll be surprised how much attention you attract. If you are zealous about what you do, you will send off a signal that draws
enthusiasts like yourself to your side. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):Take action, get involved and do what you can to make a difference, and you will be noticed and admired by a host of interesting people who want to get to know you better. Showing how diverse and adaptable you are will make you a popular candidate for a long-term relationship. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Work and your personal life will clash. Don’t let your emotions run amok, causing you to do a poor job or mess up a potential relationship with someone who can contribute to your success. Don’t mix business with pleasure, but
give each an equal amount of your undivided attention. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ve got charm, charisma and an exciting way of portraying who you are and the things you like to do. It won’t take much to entice someone who grabs your attention. Your biggest problem will be deciding who will win the spot by your side. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your persistence will pay off when it comes to money and contracts, but when emotions get involved, you will find it impossible to control the outcome. Don’t take a chance on anyone you think may have an agenda when it comes to love and romance.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Put your heart and desires on the line, and speak up about your long-term intentions. You will grab the attention of the person most likely to match every step you want to make along the way. Love and romance will lead to a higher standard of living and greater happiness. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Someone will play with your emotions if you are too willing to please. Getting involved with someone you meet through work will probably lead to an uncomfortable situation. Focus more on people you encounter while engaging in a hobby or pastime you enjoy, and avoid a mishap.
