King Andrew’s stone throwing

I wish to commend Jeremy Moule on his fine article on Governor Cuomo’s “Blame Game” (News, February 15).

Once again, King Andrew the First is attempting to browbeat local governments.

Moule rightfully pointed out the inaccuracy of King Andrew’s numbers, noting that certain taxing districts for lighting, sewer, and ambulance services are required by law.

King Andrew needs to look in the mirror when he talks about wasteful spending.

I cite these examples: First, the unnecessary signs at Thruway entrances, which are a duplication of other signs and are illegal by federal standards.

Second, the $50 million the state spent on advertising to create 400 jobs. Third, the scandal and waste in Cuomo’s photonics initiative, resulting in the indictment of the photonics head and Cuomo’s right-hand man.

Fourth, the mess created by the State Department of Taxation in servicing property tax rebates. Fifth, the state’s bloated Medicaid program — the nation’s most expensive, which requires local governments to pay more than any other state.

Yes, King Andrew, if you want to find waste, just clean your own house first.

Trump’s Putin praise deplorable

I respect the office of the presidency; however, I cannot respect a president who proudly and arrogantly supports and praises a murderous thug named Putin.

Putin invaded Ukraine, resulting in the deaths of thousands of innocent people.

Putin also ordered deliberate airstrikes on war-torn Syrian refugees under the false pretext of destroying ISIS. Trump had the audacity to state while defending Putin that “Americans aren’t so innocent either.” As an honorably 2 CITY

discharged Marine who served during the Vietnam War, I find Trump’s rhetoric deplorable, especially coming from someone who avoided serving in the military.

It is a sad indictment when an American president is more concerned about Putin than the American people he took an oath to serve and protect.

Trump’s obsession with wealth and power will ultimately be the demise of his dictatorship.

Trump is just shifting bloat

President Trump’s most recent prescription for decline and disaster, even though it is a mere 10 percent transfer of domestic bloat to military bloat, is nonetheless peerless in its perniciousness.

The goal seems to be the elimination of inconvenient domestic agencies. But that leaves unanswered the question of why the 10 percent increase in military aid could not be achieved by cutting current bloat from the Department of Defense. As we all know, the DoD has no remotely close rival for bloat and waste.

DoD is so monumentally overfunded that it is no longer possible to audit its expenses.

And this ignores what is actually worst about this latest plan: that it is no plan.

If it were, it would target increased military funding to areas that could be presumed to increase public safety. How is that goal achieved by giving across the board bloat instead of targeted bloat?

As we saw in the last two administrations, bombing and droning others has helped create the population of refugees here that we have begun to round up and “export.” Candidate Clinton bears a full measure of responsibility for policies that have helped create failed states.

What else did all that bombing and commando raiding and killing of civil populations achieve? What was learned?

A “mere” 10 percent is more than enough to tilt our reliance on military solutions over what are actually both human and diplomatic needs.

The result will be an explosive collision with reality.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

A letter to our readers This is a time of profound change in American media. And it comes at a time of major challenges for the people and institutions we serve and report on.

Those challenges offer news media tremendous opportunities, and we’re all seeking ways to take advantage of them. Done well, the result will be better journalism, reaching broader audiences. Done well, the result will be stronger contributions to our readers, our communities, and democracy.

It is no secret, though, that the media – in particular, print media – are planning how do their jobs better in the face of major challenges of their own. Technology – websites, mobile, social media, etc. – has given print readers many ways to get their information. Advertisers, too, have numerous options. So print advertising has declined, and ads on the media’s own websites don’t bring in the same revenue.

CITY has not been exempt from that trend. We have had only minimal print circulation drop over the past several years, and readership on our digital platforms – our website and e-newsletters – is growing. But we have begun to experience some of the same print revenue decline that newspapers throughout the country are experiencing.

As a result, we’re taking a step none of us likes to take. We are reducing our staff by two, one person in editorial and one in sales. Both are talented, hard-working, dedicated people, and they will be missed, not only by us but also by the segments of the community they have served.

At the same time, however, we are embarking on a course that will result in a robust group of print and digital publications that will produce high-quality journalism and will serve the community in broad, dynamic ways for decades to come.

For the past six months, a group representing each department at CITY has been meeting weekly, assessing our challenges and making recommendations for our future.

CITY’s structure, and its basic approach to news coverage, has been the same since it was founded 45 years ago. We continue to operate in the same departments – the same silos, to use the trendy, corporate word – that we had 45 years ago, when we published only a small, weekly neighborhood newspaper.

Our interdepartmental planning team, called the Future CITY team, has completed its recommendations, and we have begun to work with our full staff to execute those recommendations.

You will see those recommendations go into effect over the next several months, in the design of our print edition, for example, in our outreach in the community, and in new content and new treatment of content in print and online.

One example: last week’s article on UR medical researchers Jonathan Stone and Ahmed Ghazi, researched and written by senior writer Tim Louis Macaluso with an additional layer of storytelling online: a video created and produced by a talented new member of our staff, Kevin Fuller.

There will be much more of this kind of journalism, enabling us to cover local news, the arts, and this community’s amazing entertainment offerings in a much more dynamic, engaging way. The result will not be less news content but more, not weaker content but stronger, provided in a variety of platforms, very much including print.

We will also be reaching out to you, asking for your opinions, criticisms, and ideas.

Challenges are not easy. But the CITY staff has extraordinary talent and skill, and everyone here has an intense dedication to this community.

We look forward to serving you and to covering this extraordinary community in new and stronger ways in the decades to come.

– Bill and Mary Anna Towler, co-publishers rochestercitynewspaper.com

Vandals hit local Jewish cemetery

More than a dozen headstones at Waad Hakolel Cemetery in northwest Rochester were toppled and some were defaced.

More than 180 anti-Semitic incidents have been reported around the country, including bomb threats against Jewish Community Centers.

Governor Andrew Cuomo is asking state police to investigate the Rochester incident as a possible hate crime.

White enters mayor’s race

Green Party candidate Alex White announced that he’s making another run for Rochester mayor, his third candidacy for the position.

White has been a vocal critic of using government subsidies to build highend housing and retail space and of giving the wealthy large tax cuts.

Trump could gut lakes program

An early version of President Trump’s budget proposal would slash funding for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. The program, which funds projects that improve Great Lakes water quality and habitat, currently receives $300 million a year, but Trump would hack it down to

$10 million. The GLRI has enjoyed strong bipartisan support, including from Congress members who were prominent Trump backers, so there’s a chance the cut may not survive.

Warren’s in: she’ll seek second term as mayor In a long-anticipated move, Mayor Lovely Warren has announced that she’ll seek a second term.

Given the Democratic Party’s voter-registration domination in Rochester, a Democrat is almost certain to win the November general election. But Warren will first have to face at least two other candidates in a September 12 Democratic primary: former Rochester Police Chief James Sheppard and former television reporter Rachel Barnhart. Local business owner Alex White will run as a Green Party candidate.

American mayor. She has a law degree from Albany Law School; was legislative assistant and chief of staff to State Assemblymember David Gantt, her mentor; was elected to City Council in 2007, and was elected Council president in 2010.

She won the Democratic Party’s nomination for mayor in 2013 after challenging then-Mayor Tom Richards in a primary – and she beat him again in the general election after Richards’ supporters mounted an independent campaign for him.

Warren has received both sharp criticism and praise during her first term.

As she agreed in her announcement today, she got off to a rocky start, appointing an uncle as her security guard, for instance. And her appointments to the Rochester Housing Authority and her actions related to the school district’s school-modernization plan have been particularly controversial. But downtown development continues to increase, and her administration’s initiatives include police reorganization, police body cameras, job training and transportation programs, efforts to boost city students’ college enrollment, Sanctuary City legislation, LGBTQ advocacy, and increased library and recreation center funding.

In her campaign announcement, she said that in her second term she would focus on increased development, affordable housing, public safety, and job and educational opportunities.

Let’s not pretend this bomb threat is anything other than what is: the latest act in a campaign of terror against “otherness.”

Odds are good that the person who made the threat meant to intimidate the local Jewish community,

COMMENTARY | BY JEREMY MOULE

JCC threat fits into campaign of terror It wasn’t a matter of whether the Jewish Community Center of Greater Rochester would receive a threat, but when. It had been spared during previous rounds of bomb threats to Jewish community centers across the country, none of which have involved actual bombs, thankfully.

That changed just after 6 a.m. Tuesday, when the center on Edgewood Avenue in Brighton received a threat; police aren’t saying how the threat was communicated. The 75 to 80 people who were there – members who were working out and some staff – were evacuated and police swept the building. The center reopened around 10 a.m., after police gave the all-clear.

Back in January, during the initial waves of threats against Jewish community centers, local JCC staff began working with Brighton police to develop an emergency response plan.

Brighton Police Chief Mark Henderson says the plan worked flawlessly on Tuesday. (JCC’s in Miami, Milwaukee, and the Syracuse area also received threats.)

That the JCC had to plan for this is scary, and it says all too much about the current national psyche. Right now, a lot of people in this country live in a constant state of anxiety or fear because of what the White House may do, or what their neighbors may do.

It all starts at the top. The president and his top advisers want to ban Muslim immigrants from the US, and they continue to flirt with white nationalist groups and personalities. They’ve also cast Mexican immigrants as criminals, and they’ve stripped protections from transgender youth. They demonstrate a disdain for “otherness,” and their attitudes have clearly emboldened some people to act on some of their darkest prejudices.

Brighton police are investigating the threat, and they’re not saying whether they’ve identified a suspect or motive. State and federal law enforcement are also taking action.

“The FBI and the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division are investigating possible civil rights violations in connection with threats to Jewish Community Centers across the country,” FBI Buffalo office spokesperson Maureen Dempsey said in a statement Tuesday. The threat to the local JCC will be included in that investigation, she said.

But let’s not pretend this bomb threat is anything other than what is: the latest act in a campaign of terror against “otherness.”

Odds are good that the person who made the threat meant to intimidate the local Jewish community, though the JCC is very clear that it welcomes all faiths as members. But even if

it’s an isolated prank, it still taps into the fear that now permeates many lives.

It shouldn’t be lost on people that just a few days before the JCC threat, someone vandalized graves at Waad Hakolel Cemetery, a Jewish cemetery just off of Lake Road in Charlotte. State and local police are investigating that incident; several Jewish cemeteries across the country have been vandalized.

As for the JCC threat, Brighton Supervisor Bill Moehle referred to it as “an expression of hatred in our community” in a Facebook post Tuesday. He said Brighton would continue to welcome people of all faiths.

“We reject hatred and we open doors to welcome our neighbors,” he wrote.

Fringe Festival submissions open April 1 The KeyBank Rochester Fringe Festival will begin accepting submissions to its 2017 edition on Saturday, April 1. The submission period opens at 9 a.m. and runs through 11:59 p.m. on April 30, and will only be accepted online at backstage. rochesterfringe.com.

The multi-arts Fringe — this year’s dates are September 14 through September 23 — is open to theater, comedy, dance, music, musical theatre, children’s entertainment, and really any combination of genres.

A hallmark of the Fringe has been its out-of-the-box ideas: past festivals have included theater pieces performed within cars (with the audience in the back seat); street-storytelling where performers wander among the crowd; a horror filminspired, satirical, acoustic rock opera; and an existential dance program performed inside the Strasenburgh planetarium.

There is no fee to apply, and no limit to the number of productions that an artist or organizer may submit for consideration, but once a venue confirms a deal with a particular show pitch, a registration fee (ranging from $50 to $150) will be required.

ENERGY | BY JEREMY MOULE

Group asks city to lead clean-energy ‘buyers club’ Hydropower, wind, solar, and other renewables are providing more and more of New York’s energy, a trend that government officials and environmental advocates want to continue.

But for that to happen, the companies building new wind and solar farms need New York residents, businesses, and governments to buy their carbon-free power.

Governments and business can do so relatively simply, since they consume lots of power, regularly seek out supply contracts, and can negotiate a good price. Residents and small businesses, however, have a tougher time sourcing renewable power, which they often pay a premium for.

“Right now with a lot of these supply contracts, you have to pay extra to get green energy,” says Sue Hughes-Smith, who’s on 6 CITY

MARCH 8-14, 2017

the Rochester People’s Climate Coalition’s leadership team. “That doesn’t make any sense.

If we want to achieve a renewable energy supply, that needs to be the cheap option.”

Community choice aggregation, which the State Public Service Commission approved last year, could flip that dynamic and create a better marketplace for clean energy producers and electricity consumers. The dryly named approach, which has been tested and proved in several states, allows a local government or a group of local governments to buy electricity for its residents.

And the Rochester People’s Climate Coalition is very excited about the possibilities of aggregation. It’s urging City of Rochester officials to explore the idea, which it sees as an opportunity for the city take a major action on climate change

through meaningful investments in the clean-energy industry. If Rochester buys electricity from local wind or solar farms, for example, that supports the projects and tells developers and investors there’s demand for more.

The city, in the coalition’s view, would lead something akin to a clean-energy buyer’s club for residential and small business electric consumers, Hughes-Smith said. In time, Rochester’s government could contract for enough clean and renewable energy to cover the needs of all city households, HughesSmith says.

And because the city would be buying on behalf of thousands of individual consumers – not just a single household – it should be able to negotiate better prices, likely below what most residents or small businesses pay now, she says.

The city has given at least some thought to the idea. It’s in the midst of approving a draft climate action plan, which lays out how Rochester – both the government and the broader community – can reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. And on Page 40 of the plan, it lists community choice aggregation as one potentially According to the draft plan, 22 percent of Rochester’s climate emissions trace back to electricity consumption. In 2014, the city emitted approximately 2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, says the plan.

Other local communities are also feeling out community choice aggregation.

Representatives from Canandaigua, Brighton, Penfield, Gates, Irondequoit, Farmington, and the villages of Scottsville, Brockport, and Pittsford have attended public RPCC educational programs on aggregation, Hughes-Smith says.

“There’s varying level of interest, and we hope to get one established this year,” she says.

The idea that a municipal government – or group of them – can secure cleaner, cheaper energy for its residents is no pipe dream. A consortium of Westchester County communities is already doing just that, and it’s served as a test case for the rest of the state.

Westchester County is basically a New

York City suburb with a population of not quite 1 million people. It has 45 communities within its borders, and 41 of them are members of Sustainable Westchester, the umbrella organization that led and secured the state’s first community choice aggregation proposal.

Right now, 20 communities participate in Westchester Power, the name of the aggregation effort. And of those communities, 14 are getting their power entirely from renewables, says Dan Welsh, Westchester Power program director. The ability to buy 100 percent clean energy was a big selling point for the program.

“It’s all about generating the local jobs, greening the power supply, and

displacing some of those dirty fossil fuels,” Welsh says.

Westchester is a test, and some hiccups – learning experiences, really – are inevitable.

All households are automatically enrolled in the aggregation program at the start, but they can opt out if they choose, and Westchester Power did lose some customers. Many of those who opted out had an alternative billing arrangement with the utility, Welsh says.

But Westchester Power’s organizers are generally pleased with how community choice aggregation is working out.

Four of the towns are in NYSEG service areas and they experienced a slight increase in prices, which now seem to be coming down, Welsh says. Consumers in the remaining towns, which are in the Con Ed service area, have saved about $1 million. Westchester Power used fixed rate contracts with suppliers selected through a bid process.

“On an individual account, they probably saved $30, $50, something like that in the first eight months through December,” he says.

“Nobody’s retiring on it, but that’s a success.”

If Rochester or any other community decides

to initiate a community choice aggregation project, it would have to complete a few legal and planning steps.

The local government or governments would have to approve a law to enact or join the program. It’d have to collect data on customers’ electricity consumption, so it has something to base contracts on. And it would have to develop a privacy plan to protect residents’ and businesses’ information.

The government or consortium would have to decide whether it’ll administer the program or whether it would hire an outside firm to do so; the latter would be paid for through a fee on utility bills, not out of municipal budgets, says Hughes-Smith.

“Villages, towns, and cities don’t have to spend any money to do this,” she says.

The Rochester People’s Climate Coalition has been working with the Genesee Finger Lakes Regional Planning Council to help communities better understand the community choice aggregation concept and their options under it.

The coalition will also make a presentation to the Monroe County Association of Villages during its April meeting, Hughes-Smith says.

The coalition recently held a meeting at the Brighton library centered around ways to battle climate change at the local, state, and federal levels. About 78 people attended, and most weren’t familiar with community choice aggregation. But after they learned about it, most of them responded positively, Hughes-Smith said.

“People really like the idea of having more control locally over our electricity production, but also that it isn’t dependent on federal action,” Hughes-Smith says. “I think people found that empowering.”

Dining Celebrating New York [ CHOW HOUND ] BY KATIE LIBBY

Kurt Oechsle is celebrating everything New York State at his establishment, Tucker’s Diner/Bakery (303 Macedon Center Road, Fairport), which opened in January. Everything from the eggs to the vegetables and meats are coming from farms in New York, provided

by Headwater Food Hub. “I’ve been trained to use local and seasonal — the best ingredients,” Oechsle says.

A Rochester native, Oechsle graduated from culinary school in Chicago and then migrated to Colorado where he worked at one of Vail’s premier restaurants, Sweet Basil. After moving to California and opening up restaurants for others, Oechsle returned to Rochester and eventually found the space (the former Papa C’s Eastside Café) in Fairport to open Tucker’s. He saw potential for a bakery, even though that wasn’t in his original plan. Oechsle enlisted the help of baker Harold Copp to put the pizza ovens to work making fresh bread and pastries daily.

Oechsle’s vision for the menu is “upscale American diner,” and all of the items from the bacon to the ketchup is made in-house. The menu will change seasonally as more products become available. Look for the Crispy Deep Fried Eggs Benedict ($12) on the breakfast and lunch menu: the dish starts with house-made Focaccia bread and is topped with poached eggs that have been lightly deep-fried, sautéed local greens, and hollandaise sauce. “We use Amish eggs; the yolks are great and the quality and freshness is outstanding,” Oechsle says. On the dinner menu, Oechsle has a Pot Pie Chicken ($14), made with local chicken that has been roasted, root vegetables, and a homemade gravy.

The pastry case is filled with pies, cakes, and Tucker’s Toaster Tarts, the shop’s version of a homemade Pop Tart.

Coffee and pastries are available to-go, and gluten-free options are available.

Tucker’s Diner/Bakery is located at 303 Macedon Center Road in Fairport, and is open Tuesday and Wednesday from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.; Thursday through Saturday, 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.; and Sunday for brunch, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. 598-3638; tuckersdinerbakery.com.

Eakins has competed on the Food Network show “Chopped” and has worked as an executive chef in New York City since leaving Rochester. Radio Social will feature 34 bowling lanes and other games and a full-service restaurant and bar. More information to come at radio-social.com.

Barry’s Old School Irish Pub (2 West Main Street, Webster) will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day for an entire week with events that start on parade day, Saturday, March 11. On that day the pub will offer a special breakfast and Irish coffee pre-game starting at 8 a.m. It will hold a whiskey tasting on Sunday, March 12, starting at 2 p.m. for $20. A food and beer pairing will take place on Thursday, March 16, from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. with a special menu paired with Irish brews.

And on Friday, March 17, the pub will have breakfast and lunch specials in addition to the traditional corned beef and cabbage. More information can be found on the pub’s Facebook page, facebook.com/barrysoldschoolirish.

Genesee Brew House (25 Cataract Street) will host a four-course food and beer pairing dinner on Tuesday, March 21, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $45 and include tax and gratuity. On the menu you’ll find a traditional Irish Scotch egg paired with the Genesee Brew House Black Pilsner, and a rabbit stew paired with Genesee Bock Beer.

Find tickets by searching “Genesee Brew House” at eventbrite.com.

A smaller number of creatives, like Argentinian-American Stephanie Mercedes, float from one material to the next, each new body of work determined by the message they want to get across. Mercedes’s work includes a unique aspect: she folds law and dissent into her artistic practice.

Mercedes is in Rochester through the end of April as an artist-in-residence at Flower City Arts Center (formerly the Genesee Center for the Arts and Education). She is working on the second phase of her current photography project, “Luz del Día: Copyrighting the Light of Day.” Through a creative use of copyright law, Mercedes seeks to pierce the veils that shroud Argentina’s Dirty War and build an archive of photographic materials to protect the memory of the disappeared.

TO WATCH A VIDEO ON STEPHANIE MERCEDES' EXHIBIT AT FLOWER CITY ARTS CENTER, VISIT ROCHESTERCITYNEWSPAPER.COM. Her Rochester residency will culminate in a public exhibit of her project-in-progress as well as some workshops focusing on art and dissent.

When the project is completed, Mercedes will have re-photographed 3,338 images — one for each day of the Dirty War — and altered them according to copyright law in order to create her own archive, which she will make available to the public through Argentina’s General Archive of the Nation.

Mercedes is equal parts detective, researcher, artist, activist, documentarian, and educator. She graduated from Smith College with a degree in Latin American politics and studio art, and has performed and exhibited in Argentina, Brazil,

Mexico, Switzerland, and the US. And she is currently exhibiting her first solo show in the US; the show opened last month at New Orleans’s Common Ground Gallery.

“In the same way some artists pick up photography, performance, or sculpture, I’m picking up law as form, and intervening in systems of power,” Mercedes says. “My mother is a lawyer.

Law has kind of been a part of my work all along, because it was a part of me growing up. I thought about going into law before I thought about going into art.”

The Flower City Arts Center’s residency program in photography launched last summer, and Mercedes applied, voicing a specific interest in the darkroom facilities — even though she’s not a photographer.

“But the project is photo-based,” says Megan Charland, the center’s photography program manager. “Her proposal was specifically to turn photographic images into negatives, so that legally she has the right to them.”

Before Mercedes began work on her photography project, she was a fellow at Art + Law, a Brooklynbased artist residency. While she was studying intellectual property rights and copyright rules, a friend in Argentina emailed to tell her that a bill had been proposed to extend coverage under Argentina’s copyright laws from 20 years post-production to 70 years after the photographer’s death. United States copyright law states that a photographer owns their images throughout their life and 25 years after death.

During Argentina’s Dirty War (1974

to 1983), the military dictatorship tortured and killed or “disappeared” between 10,000 and 30,000 people it believed posed an ideological threat to its rule. These perceived subversives included intellectuals, photographers, students, and artists.

“If you have a dictatorship and you have people who are against the militia, the first people you go after are artists, photographers, and people who work for the newspapers,” Mercedes says. “So a lot of the visual representations of that period of time were taken by people who were ‘disappeared.’”

Because there are no records of the deaths of many of the victims — there’s no physical corpses — they’re not technically considered deceased. So if this bill passes into law, all photographs documenting this period which currently exist in the public realm would become privatized by the state. In addition, images by photographers whose deaths were never established would be removed from public access indefinitely. Any currently-public images would be removed from Wikipedia, social media, and news sources that do not own them.

Mercedes drew her project’s title from documentation released last year of correspondence between then US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and Argentina’s dictator General Jorge Videla. In the correspondence, Videla attempts to remember the number of people killed during a five year period. At the end of the correspondence, he notes the numbers are unimportant as they “will never see the light of day.”

“A photograph is really just about a relationship of light,” Mercedes says. “And a documentary photograph can be about a pornography of violence, almost something that is undepictable. continued on page 12 rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 11

CREATIVE DISSENT continues from page 11

For me, this period of Argentinian history is completely undepictable. It’s not something I could ever imagine, reimagine, or fathom. I felt like the process of light was important, because people’s relationship to the archive is a physical thing, it’s not about a realistic photograph, but having a relationship to something that existed from those people who died.”

She says her project isn’t about preserving the image; it’s about preserving the archive. So the images can be an abstraction that still depict figures, but are more about the dark and the light.

The dictatorship in Argentina, Mercedes says, is a period of time that no one really talks about. “You don’t study it in school, you don’t talk about it with your parents or your grandparents.

Argentina is still trying to reconcile with what happened. And it’s a hard thing for a government to try to reconcile with something that happened so recently.”

Because nothing is known about what happened to many of the disappeared, there’s a desire to connect with that, which is not easy, she says. “That’s why the archives are so important, and to have them be inaccessible to the public is completely unimaginable.”

Mercedes originally planned to source most of the material for

her project from the National Archive in Buenos Aires. She got permission to visit in December 2016, with the understanding that there would be a small fee for taking away digital copies of the images she wanted.

But to her astonishment, the archive, which was established in 1821, conveniently ended in 1976 — the year the Videla dictatorship began — though there was an entire section dedicated to recent president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.

Laura Tusi, an Argentinian art and law specialist, was also conducting research that same day, Mercedes says. Tusi helped Mercedes find the few photographs from this era that did exist in the archives. They depicted innocuous activity seemingly unrelated to the political turmoil.

Tusi explained the importance of Fotos Huérfanas (Orphaned Photographs), images whose rights holders are indeterminate or uncontactable (such as someone who has disappeared) and are unlikely to be available in public archives. Tusi connected Mercedes with other experts and archivists of Fotos Huérfanas from 1976 to 1983.

Mercedes also worked with some private photographers who have maintained their own archive. In particular, photojournalist Mónica Hasenberg has been important to Mercedes’s project: Hasenberg has more than 45,000 negatives of her own images from when she worked for periodicals during the Dirty War. Hasenberg and her husband, Brenno Quaretti — a documentary photographer who died in 1995 — were two of the most important photographers during the Dirty War. Their archive, “Hasenberg-Quaretti,” is one of the largest collections of 1980’s Buenos Aires.

Hasenberg says that during the Dirty War, she and Quaretti were as vulnerable to the dictatorship’s actions as any other photographer, but they hid their negatives away and only began making prints after the danger had passed.

She has given Mercedes full access to her archive, and referred her to some alternative sites that photographers, artists, and intellectuals have been using as a collective open source archive, which Mercedes says will be an invaluable resource for “Luz del Día.”

“Some of the photographs are really violent, of people being dragged off,” Mercedes says. There are also photographs of street protests, including images of the Asociación Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo (Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo) protesting with 12 CITY MARCH 8-14, 2017

Argentinian Modernist paintings. “I really love the idea of these mothers, who then turned into grandmothers, protesting with large canvases,” she adds.

Mercedes is interested in the relationship viewers can have to the moment when a photo was taken, not just the depictions of horrific violence. In the interest of giving some context of everyday life during the dictatorship, some images are banal, or are photographs of empty cells. They range from absurdity and violence to mundane daily life, she says.

Another important resource for Mercedes has been the Escuela Superior de Mecánica de la Armada (the “Higher School of Mechanics of the Navy.” ESMA was originally an educational facility for the Argentine Navy. It was used as an illegal secret detention center during Argentina’s military dictatorship where thousands were tortured and executed.

Babies born to mothers imprisoned there were given new identities and illegally adopted by military families.

ESMA is now home to one of the largest national archives from the Dirty War, “El Archivo de la Memoría.” All of its images are open to the public except those that are orphaned. “Those are the photographs that I want, because they were probably taken by los desaparecidos,” Mercedes says.

Where photography is concerned, copyright law usually benefits

the maker of the images, protecting against the use of their work by others. But Mercedes is using the law to her advantage.

“In a way the project is taking the idea of copyright and inversing it,” Mercedes says. “By privatizing the archive, and by copyrighting it, I’ll actually be able to make it accessible to everyone.” This is an important measure regardless of whether the bill is passed, because even if the images remain in the public domain, they are

allocated, they will send the cushions to Congress, and every five years, they have to re-feather the cushions. “And if more people die, they have to include more feathers,” she says.

Mercedes’s inspiration came from a phrase repeated in Colombia — “the government officials were using FARC rhetoric to feather their cushions.”

She also created two small sculptures of bullet-sized dove ornaments, one made out of cocaine and the other out of soap.

“The war was funded by the cocaine industry,” she says. “So one dove is attempting to cleanse and move forward, while the other is made from what the ‘peace’ was made of.”

In the autumn of 2015, Mercedes attempted to deliver 1,000 yellow dahlias — Mexico’s national flower — to Donald Trump at Trump Tower. Each flower came with a handwritten message from Latino New Yorkers to the then-candidate in response to his xenophobic rhetoric. Mercedes worked with the Brooklyn branch of the Latino not-for-profit organization Make the Road to collect the notes.

“It’s important to me not to speak for other people,” Mercedes says. “Rather than offering a solution, I want to create spaces or gestures in which everyone’s voices can be heard.”

Opening image: "Vamos Argentina" is an image taken of a student being arrested by the right wing military force during the world cup in 1978. This image was originally titled (translated) "While the World Watched". The image is over laid with a little girl at a protest with a flag that says "Vamos (we can do it) Argentina!"

Left: "¡No!" is a combination of two images, a protest poster placed over a street advertisement in Buenos Aires and a pixelated image of a forced disappearance via Operation Condor.

The exact number of balloons released corresponded to the number of disappearances. In the background is a image of the military junta in the street during the Dirty War.

in the hands of the government or whoever is in power at the time.

Mercedes has to make four alterations to the images for them to be considered legally her own. These adjustments include transforming the digital images into film negatives, cropping the images, changing the light balance, and layering the images.

She’s in the process of re-photographing the physical images she acquired in Argentina, processing them into film and printing new negatives — she will display those negatives on lightboxes at the center for her exhibition showing the project’s progress this month. Some of the negatives will be enlarged and printed onto transparency paper and also displayed on lightboxes.

“I like this idea, because it makes each image more of an object than an image, and makes it more about its relationship to light,” she says.

Whenever information about when the images were taken is available, Mercedes will match her re-photographs to a date in the timeline of her 3,338 image archive.

This isn’t the first time Mercedes has utilized law as form in her

work; in the past it’s manifested as a slick use of contracts. While it’s not uncommon for artists to sign contracts with the people or

organizations that commission their work, Mercedes uses them in a distinctive way.

In October 2016, Mercedes did a month-long project in the rural, highly conservative Nebraska City (its tourism site’s tagline is “Red to the Core”). She recorded people in the small town holding their breath, and made a vinyl record of the recording.

“I wrote a contract with the local law library that said they have to play the record nonstop,” she says. “If the law library burns down, or something happens to them, they have to find someone else to take and play the recording. It’s creating a perpetual pause, which kind of felt like the town that I was in.”

Another recent contract resulted from a residency at Lugar a Dudas in Cali, Colombia, where she created a project related to the peace treaty agreement between the Colombian government and FARC rebels.

“In about five or 10 years’ time, they will allow 10 additional seats to be added to the Congress for the FARC members, which is insane,” Mercedes says.

During the 52-year war, 220,000 people died. So Mercedes used 220,000 feathers from doves — which are symbolic of peace — to create seat cushions for the new congressional members. She wrote a contract of maintenance with the gallery: when the FARC seats are

In 2016, Mercedes installed a sound sculpture, “The Ring of Freedom,” at El Teatro Municipal, San Isidro, while she was in Buenos Aires conducting research for her current project. The work was commissioned by Art in Odd Places in Orlando.

The sculpture consists of a mobile of 49 individual liberty bells — one for each of the victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting — created by melting down and re-casting the metal from a Sig Sauer rifle, which is the gun used in the shooting.

Mercedes made a second set of bells, which she distributed for free during Pride Weekend in Orlando at a “liberty booth.”

A liberty booth is a means of recruitment for the NRA’s Women’s League, The Ring of Freedom. Mercedes says she noted that most of those bells made their way to the victims’ memorial by the next day.

She says ultimately she’d like to have the gallery set installed in the NRA’s garden, and she’s been in correspondence with them to this end.

By and large, Mercedes has been successful at acquiring cooperation for her politically-charged projects from different groups of people and institutions, even in cases when they might not like the points she is trying to make through her art. This has great potential to open up discussion and collaboration between people on opposite sides of the fence. She calls this phenomenon “reversion from within.” But it doesn’t always run smoothly.

For example, Mercedes says the gallery she worked with for her congressional seat cushions in Colombia, Lugar de Dudas, signed her contract, but the manager was less than thrilled when he realized what he signed.

After President Obama re-opened the US trade relationship with Cuba, Mercedes created an ad to go on the side of a bus in Massachusetts that was simply a picture of the open sky. The contract she wrote was that the ad would run indefinitely. “The idea is that it’s a perpetual false open sky,” she says. “So if they go out of business, they are legally responsible to make sure the ad goes onto another form of public transportation.”

“I think they just thought, ‘Oh, it’s an artist,’ and signed the contract,” she adds.

Mercedes attributes the success of some past projects to her method of approach. For example, in contacting the NRA, she pretends to support the institution. They understand it’s an art project, and institutions like working with something as solid as a contract.

“But until I get a contract signed, and the work is installed legally in their garden, I have to be careful about the way that I approach them.”

Part of her success might be written off to the fact that groups and organizations aren’t familiar with her work as a political artist, and didn’t see her coming until her carefully-crafted contracts were signed.

It remains to be seen if Mercedes will have more trouble — and if groups will conduct a more close reading of the contracts — when her work is more widely known. rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 13

With a title based on a Charles Mingus quote, pianist George Burton’s debut album instantly puts him on the jazz map. His solos are wonderful, with a flair reminiscent of McCoy Tyner, but the album is also a showcase for his compositional abilities. Tunes move from catchy heads to avant-garde frenzy in a manner that seems just right. Between compositions are some nicely experimental interludes like “Ber…nie’s,” an under-the-hood (of the piano) take on the Gerry Mulligan classic “Bernie’s Tune,” which also comes a few tracks later as the album’s only cover.

That cut features a superb solo by trumpeter Jason Palmer, who is indicative of the excellent company Burton keeps. Especially outstanding are solos on saxophone by Tim Warfield and bass

by Noah Jackson on Burton’s driving composition “Second Opinion”; Terell Stafford’s beautiful trumpet solo on the gorgeous ballad, “In Places”; and Ilan Bar-Lavi’s excellent guitar flight on “From Grace to Grass.” Bar-Lavi’s solo grows ever more manic, building to a wild snippet of surf guitar. Also terrific are Chris Hemingway on sax and Wayne Smith Jr., a propulsive force on drums. — BY RON NETSKY

Enjoying music sans melody or without a tangible, discernable progression is a stretch.

But composing a piece in which the melody is simply implied is even tougher. It’s an art to be sure. Most instrumental music you hear sets forth a thought, a discussion within the listener’s head like a sort of reverse diatribe that when said out loud becomes the truth (or at least something like the truth). It’s as if one of the instruments is the listener’s own mind.

Rochester’s SpaceKase has just released “What I Think the Sky Sounds Like,” an album full of layered droning that lets fly with a mighty ebb and flow that grandly compensates for any lack of melody.

Now where the album is made up of seven atmospheric, picturesque extrapolated pieces, the individual titles present some suggestive clarity, starting with the album’s title itself. Musically, the album is hypnotic and languid. It can be a tad bewildering, but beautiful all the same. It’s a sonic journey; wherever it takes you is up to you.

Shy of infinity [ FEATURE ] BY FRANK DE BLASE FOR MORE ON TART VANDELAY, CHECK OUT THE BAND’S WEBSITE AT TARTVANDELAY.COM

Love precedes Tart Vandelay as it leaves a chaotically smooth pastel wash in its wake. With jazzy guitar and looped female vocals that stop just shy of infinity, Tart Vandelay is mesmerizing in its stunning, deceptive simplicity.

At the heart of this Rochester band is guitarist Marty LoFaso and vocalist, ukulele player, and loop wrangler Katie Halligan. The two musicians met in school and began dating in 2011. But it stopped there; they were wary of playing music together.

“We tried to avoid it,” LoFaso says. “Just because we wanted to keep those things separate. It was like, ‘Aw jeez; let’s not put the strain on our personal relationship.”

The moratorium didn’t last, though.

“After enough soul-searching about our own musical aspirations, it became clear if we got half the success we wanted, the relationship would fall apart because we’d 16 CITY MARCH 8-14, 2017

be moving in opposite directions,” LoFaso says. “It kinda became apparent we had to work together. We officially started writing together in 2014. We tried to at first in 2013. We were trying to come up with lyrics, bounce ideas off of each other; that didn’t end well.”

“We just didn’t get anywhere,” Halligan adds. “Eventually we were able to find a way to work together … but not work together. We write separately; kind of assembly line writing.”

Lo and behold the duo discovered they were quite musically compatible despite their initial apprehension. Their individual sounds were complementary and supportive of one another, with LoFaso’s guitar rivaling Halligan’s pretty voice.

“We sounded similar,” Halligan says.

“Our sounds complemented each other. The vocal lines I created seemed to go well with the guitar lines he made.”

“I’m just not naturally a vocalist,” LoFaso says. “I hear ideas in my head, but I’ve never been able to replicate it. The first time I wrote a guitar piece, a song skeleton, and passed it along to Katie to put in the vocals, she came up vocally with what I was hearing

in my head but couldn’t express.”

It’s at this juncture in the two’s collaboration that things get ethereal and crossed over to other mediums and tantalized other senses. Tart Vandelay’s sound floats in the cracks and fissures found in conventional music. You’ll hear things you never heard before. The music this band creates is to be seen and felt as much as it is to be heard. When is the last time you heard delicious? When is the last time you saw loud?

“I listen to the guitar part that he gives me,” Halligan says. “And I think about what picture it puts in my mind. I really try to create some sort of tangible image I can connect a song with so it’s a little more accessible lyrically, and that in turn, gives me a lyrical idea. You’ve gotta start somewhere.”

Often Tart Vandelay kicks off a composition with Halligan’s plaintive voice put in multiple layers through a looping pedal. She loops cautiously, knowing that a little bit goes a long way; the risk is in becoming stagnant or played out.

“It’s something people are interested in,” she says. “But for others and for me personally, it can get old fast. So we try to do some with looping, some not.”

Although looping is an electronic effect there is still a person in the mix adding the human elements of imperfection and haphazard fluidity.

“It definitely makes the performance unique,” LoFaso says. “Every time it is a little different from the time before.”

Tart Vandelay recently added two new members, bassist Steve Petoniak and drummer Chris Dubuc-Penney. Initially hired on as live-only players, the two have graduated to full time participation in the studio as well as the stage; the band shines in both arenas for performance, exploration, and self-definition.

“I like to think of them as different mediums,” LoFaso says. “And I think you can get the most out of each one if you approach them as such. I think our eventual goal, in looking for a unique sound, is to become a genre unto ourselves. I just don’t want to do anything that’s been expressly done before.”

Tart Vandelay has one EP out and is working on another due to drop this fall with a promise from Halligan and LoFaso to continue in their search for the few remaining unheard notes and progressions.

“That’s the sound that’s always been in our heads,” LoFaso says.

DOOM METAL | PILGRIM

Pilgrim definitely plays it dark, but the band avoids the utter doom with its theatrical leanings. The Rhode Island-based quartet plays it like you smoke good barbecue: low and slow. Disciples of Sabbath or anything with loud, thick guitar for that matter should be front and center at the altar for this one. All hail Pilgrim.

Pilgrim plays with Heavy Temple, Goron, and Orodruin on Friday, March 10, at Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Avenue. 9 p.m. $6. bugjar.com; facebook.com/hailthepilgrim.

By 2010, most independently owned movie theaters around the United States were transitioning from 35mm film to digital projectors. It was more accessible and costeffective, and big studio distributors began to announce they would soon stop producing 35mm film (Paramount became the first to do so in 2014). It seems ironic, perhaps, that this time in history would be captured in a play, but through Sunday, March 19, audiences have a chance to relive it at the JCC CenterStage in “The Flick” by Annie Baker.

“The Flick” opened Off-Broadway in March 2013 to little fanfare, but the play won both the Obie Award for Playwriting and the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize later that year. In 2014, “The Flick” won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

It was only Baker’s fifth play, but it quickly established the 30-something as an emerging American playwright.

The plot of “The Flick” follows three underpaid movie theater employees in small town Worcester, Massachusetts. As the play begins, Sam (D. Scott Adams) is training

college-aged Avery (Willis Brooks) on his first day of work. As the two sweep popcorn and discuss how to clean the soda machine, there are long periods of silence. But no one’s forgotten their lines; this is an Annie Baker play and the silences are intentionally written into the script. The third employee, Rose (Jessica Tasciotti), also works as a projectionist at the theater, loading 35mm films for each show. What follows is two and a half hours of mundane conversation and minimal action — or, is it?

Because Baker’s work often spotlights everyday characters and stories, the settings play important roles in each show. Here, the set design by Jerry Smith is particularly surprising for those unfamiliar with the premise of the show: as audience members walk in, they’re greeted by rows of theater chairs not unlike those they’re about to occupy for the next few hours. A nondescript wall with mismatched golden light fixtures stands behind the chairs, and a bright red carpet littered with popcorn runs down the middle of the rows. A crooked chandelier hangs haphazardly above. For anyone who’s loved a small, vintage theater — think Rochester’s Cinema Theater or The Little (which still shows 35mm film) — this set design is a familiar and much beloved sight.

David Runzo, a veteran in local theater circles and University of Rochester theater professor, directs the intimate cast of four. He has the tough task of encouraging his actors to explore the silences during this lengthy show at

the risk of boring some audience members.

And to his credit, Runzo has done a beautiful job. It’s a show that feels as though it belongs to the actors (a sign of expert directing) and the actors, in turn, hand it to the audience.

Here’s where the trouble comes in for “The Flick” — though it’s not a flaw with the JCC CenterStage production. For those unfamiliar with Baker’s work, there are two things written into her scripts: setting (noted above) and silence. The first half of “The Flick” is slow moving.

It mimics real life, where people don’t constantly fill silences, especially not at work. Life is not inherently fast-paced.

After the first act ended on Sunday, nearly a quarter of the audience left during intermission. A man in the back of the auditorium shrugged angrily into his coat, muttering phrases like “dumb,” “not engaging,” and “waste of time.” It’s not unusual for Baker’s shows to empty during intermission, though. They aren’t written for people with short attention spans or those who want empty, easy entertainment.

The cast of “The Flick” is flawless.

The four actors play characters that will remind audience members of former loves, their college-aged selves, or perhaps someone they once worked with. As Sam, the 35-year-old living in his parents’ attic, D. Scott Adams is the oldest member of the cast. He’s a welcome new face in the Rochester theater scene, and in this role, he unearths empathy and genuine likeability for a character that could easily be played as a societal failure.

As new employee Avery, School of the Arts graduate Willis Brooks brings to life an awkward, well-meaning film nerd.

(He’s juxtaposed with Sam and Rose, who are older and more worldly wise.)

As Rose, Jessica Tasciotti embodies a recent college graduate who is at once flippant and vulnerable. Like Adams, Tasciotti could have played a stereotype, but she chooses to add another layer to a seemingly simple character. Rounding out the cast with two bit parts is UR student Bill McDonough, who makes the most of his several lines as a sleepy patron and a new employee.

“The Flick” is a show for anyone who’s worked a job where their world has grown (perhaps too) small; for anyone who’s been radically underpaid or thrown together with a motley crew of coworkers. It’s a show for those who have fallen in love with the wrong person and stayed in a small town. It’s a show for the everyman, and a story for film lovers.

ART | “GIRLS ROCK! ROCHESTER GETS UGLY”

ART | “RAPTURE”

Through the month of March, Ugly Duck Coffee (89 Charlotte Street) is celebrating Women’s History Month with a retrospective exhibition of more than five years of art made in support of Girls Rock! Rochester. The show also presents new work from artists that are collaborating with GR!R on an upcoming cookbook zine.

Boston-based artist Christopher Lineberry’s work embodies the intersection of research, experience, ethics, and desire. Through April 2, Hartnett Gallery (Second floor, Wilson Commons, University of Rochester) will present “Rapture,” Lineberry’s latest body of digital collage, rooted in his negotiation of queer sexuality and an evangelical upbringing in North Carolina.

GR!R is a non-profit rock ‘n’ roll camp geared toward empowering girls and trans youth through music, and using creativity and performance as tools for cultivating self-confidence. For more information on GR!R, visit girlsrockrochester.org. Ugly Duck’s hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and admission is free. facebook.com/uglyduckcoffee.

— BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

The work references both the concept of the biblical Rapture and the state of extreme ecstasy, in an interrogation of the US Empire and the historic social relegation of queer identities.

Provided information states that Lineberry’s work is critical of US military occupations, particularly in the Middle East, as “engineered conflicts made to appear as divine harbingers of the end, pointing to the imperial psyche of American Southern evangelism.” In his images, Lineberry “has raptured” male bodies from gay porn video stills, their forms “emptied by the prospect of sudden disappearance, whether by divine will or pawns of state erasure,” and replaced with images of consumerism.

COMEDY | “TWO FEMINISTS WALK INTO A BAR”

THEATER | “THAT POOR GIRL AND HOW HE KILLED HER”

Rochester comedians Kelsey Claire Hagen and Madelein Smith this Thursday are hosting some of their favorite comedians from the regional stand-up scene, including Rochesterian-turned-Texan Andrew Youngblood, in the comedy show “Two Feminists Walk Into a Bar.” The show will also feature Brian Netzel, Sarah Benson, and Kevin Thomas Jr. Hagen and Smith previously appeared at Skylark with the comedy nights “Don’t Grab my Pussy” and “Hateful Eight,” and are producing and hosting together for the first time.

The title “That Poor Girl and How He Killed Her” already sets things up. In the darkly comedic play by emerging playwright Jen Silverman, the wealthy, young Alyssa Long attracts the attentions of a cryptic stranger, Felix Maia, and Alyssa disappears soon after. The play explores the social workings of the world around us, from media to justice, in what Silverman describes as “‘Gossip Girl’ meets ‘Lord of the Flies.’” The University of Rochester’s International Theatre Program opens its spring semester with this work.

Directed by Knud Adams. Original Music by Obadiah Eaves.

“Two Feminists Walk Into a Bar” will take place Thursday, March 9, at Skylark Lounge, 40 South Union Street. 8 p.m. $5. 270-8106; theskylarklounge.com.

THEATER | “PIPPIN”

SPECIAL EVENT | ST. PATRICK’S DAY PARADE

RIT/NTID performance groups MDC and Dangerous Signs — troupes that have done a lot to bring together American Sign Language, spoken English, music, and dance for Rochester stages — will tackle the popular, Tony Award-winning musical “Pippin” this weekend. The show, with book by Roger O. Hirson and music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, follows another troupe of performers as they tell the story of the young prince Pippin, who is searching for his own place in the world: should he settle down or continue looking for adventure?

The annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade, now marking its 40th year, will roll through Rochester this Saturday, back along its traditional route. The last two parades have used a different route due to the East End construction filling in the Inner Loop, but this weekend’s parade will return to its original starting point at East Avenue and Alexander Street. The parade heads west and ends at West Main Street and Plymouth Avenue. Bars and restaurants along the route (especially in the East End) will be packed, so make your parade plans early and look for reservations wherever possible.

MDC/Dangerous Signs will perform “Pippin” on Thursday, March 9, through Sunday, March 12, at MuCCC, 142 Atlantic Avenue. 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday; 2 p.m. on Sunday. $12 general admission; $10 students and seniors. 866-811-4111; muccc.org.

[ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

With “Logan,” Hugh Jackman makes his (supposedly) final appearance as Logan, a k a Wolverine, a character he’s played to perfection for 17 years and across nine “X-Men” films. The third solo outing for Wolverine, this sad, stirring film focuses on the humanity and emotion of its story, making “Logan” a gory and surprisingly affecting elegy for the franchise’s most beloved character.

The film picks up in 2029, a not-too-distant future where nearly all of mutant-kind has been wiped out. Logan has aged considerably since we last saw him: he’s greying, his healing abilities are slower, and his eyesight is fading. Sometimes his

claws don’t snap out with a “snikt” the way they used to. More than anything, this is a man who just wants a place to rest his weary adamantiumplated bones.

We soon learn that Logan is also caring for an ailing Professor Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart).

The Professor is battling dementia and dangerous seizures that, when affecting the most powerful brain on the planet, become a threat to the lives of anyone unlucky enough to be in the vicinity.

The pair have shacked up with an albino mutant — whose abilities allow him to easily track other mutants — called Caliban (Stephen Merchant), who helps tend to Charles when Logan’s away.

Logan is working as a limo driver, hoping to raise enough money for he and Charles to leave everything behind for a life at sea. In their scenes together, Jackman and Stewart convey a lifetime of history — both good and bad — between the two men.

But Logan’s plans to walk off into the sunset are interrupted by a mysterious woman (Elizabeth Rodriguez) who’s tracked him down to plead for help.

She has with her a young girl, Laura (newcomer Dafne Keen making an indelible first impression), who

demonstrates some remarkably familiar mutant abilities. The woman asks Logan to take Laura under his protection and shepherd the girl to North Dakota and onward to safety across the Canadian border — the “save the last of a dying breed” mission gives off a bit of a “Children of Men” vibe. Once Logan reluctantly agrees, they’re immediately pursued by Laura’s creator, Dr. Rice (Richard E. Grant) and a militarized force led by a robot-handed mercenary (Boyd Holbrook), who think nothing of butchering anyone who stands in the way of reclaiming their property.

“Logan” is uncharacteristically intimate and character-driven for a superhero film (at least the type that have become prevalent over the last several years), but I’m not going to pay it the backhanded compliment of saying it “transcends the material.” Anyone who’s ever read comics knows they come in all genres and tones. But for all its super-powered antics, “Logan” stays resolutely human-sized.

The decidedly adult tone is set immediately, as the film opens with Logan dealing swiftly and gruesomely with a band of violent carjackers.

The brutality is shocking (prepare yourself for an overabundance of skull stabbings, plus more eviscerations and impromptu amputations than you can shake a stick at). It’s less juvenile than “Deadpool,” last year’s R-rated superhero blockbuster that gave studios the green light to give their comic book adaptations a bit more bite.

Film Previews Full film reviews available at rochestercitynewspaper.com.

This change taps into what made Wolverine’s appearance in the previous “X-Men” movies feel so patently false. Wolverine’s weapons are retractable blades meant to slice and dice.

This is what he does. Not for nothing, but the character’s victims have a lot in common with those of Freddy Krueger, and no one’s expecting that guy’s films to maintain a PG-13 rating. The violence depicted in “Logan” is wince-inducing, savage, and very bloody. The violence he inflicts actually has consequences, and that makes all the difference.

Director James Mangold tosses in a number of references to the classic 1953 western “Shane.”

The connections to that film are more of a loose, thematic throughline than anything else. It’s a story of a killer disillusioned with a life of killing, seeking a way to leave it behind but finding it impossible; there’s no going back from all that death.

All of the “X-Men” movies have a bit of a tragic air about them, centering the way they do around individuals who seek a place for themselves in a world that would rather see them destroyed. “Logan” presents a decaying vision of America: it’s a country that’s irreparably broken.

There’s no world-ending plot to foil, just a planet that’s become a darker, more brutal place; one its characters can’t fight, but can only hope to escape from. It’s grim and almost unrelentingly bleak, though the many exciting, well-staged action sequences keep things from getting too morose.

The film ends with a lovely final image, putting a nice period on its story of a man built to be a weapon, who managed to find his humanity in a world so harsh it left a bruise.

Enjoying Highland Park Living

134 Gregory Hill Road While the perks of owning a home in the Highland Park neighborhood may not be our city’s best kept secret, the area can be an overlooked gem that boasts unique architecture, lovely topography, and a dynamite, central location. As luck would have it, the inviting, classic white Colonial Revival home at 134 Gregory Hill Road is right in the middle of it all and offers unique features to welcome you home.

Charming Gregory Hill Road, which is terraced into the slowly rising slope of Highland Hill, is a perfect home base to explore the area. A short walk in any direction leads to some of the great treasures the city of Rochester offers residents. From the contours and trails of Highland Park, to the quiet solitude of Mt. Hope Cemetery, and the bustling commercial corridors of the South Wedge; every day in this neighborhood has something new to offer.

Built in 1925, the home’s ambiance welcomes visitors immediately upon entering through the front door and makes it easy to imagine entertaining friends and family both inside and out. After passing through the tiled foyer, the large living room is highlighted by a massive bay window. Built-in bookcases (awaiting your collection of novels and knick-knacks) frame this window and complement the fireplace mantel. An original, glass-paned door next to the fireplace leads to a bright side-porch with a powder room and access to an outdoor brick patio.

The dining room features hardwood floors and molding that extend throughout the living

spaces in the rest of the home. It also hosts chair-rail molding and a built-in corner hutch that can be used to display any manner of curios. The kitchen is easily accessed off the dining room and is ready for its square footage to be reimagined into a premier highlight of this home.

A wide staircase leads upstairs to three wellproportioned bedrooms and a full bath. The master bedroom is spacious and bright, thanks to three large windows welcoming in the sunshine, and features his and hers closets.

The backyard slopes gently down to the detached garage and offers plenty of room for gardens and outdoor entertaining. While looking at the home from Gregory Hill Road, one might notice something missing: this home does not have a traditional driveway entrance at the front of the lot. Instead, car access to a one-car garage is provided via a private alleyway shared by the homes on Gregory Hill Road and adjacent Rockingham Street. This truly unique feature is another example of the distinctive personality of the neighborhood that draws people from all walks of life.

134 Gregory Hill Road offers approximately 1,672 square feet of living space, plus plenty of attic and basement storage space, and is listed at $159,900.Contact Karen Gramo of Empire Realty Group at 585-347-4900 for more information.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD

Suspicions Confirmed

Despite California’s 2015 law aimed at improving the fairness of its red-light cameras, the city of Fremont (pop.

214,000, just north of San Jose) reported earning an additional $190,000 more each month last year by shortening the yellow light by two-thirds of a second at just two intersections. Tickets went up 445 percent at one and 883 percent at the other. (In November 2016, for “undisclosed reasons,” the city raised the speed limit on the street slightly, “allowing” it to reinstate the old 0.7-second-longer yellow light.)

Updates of Previous Characters — and Some Recurring Themes

Tammy Felbaum surfaced in News of the Weird in 2001 when she, originally Mr. Tommy Wyda, consensually castrated James Felbaum (her sixth husband), but he died of complications, resulting in Tammy’s manslaughter conviction.

(Among the trial witnesses: a previous spouse, who had also let “expert” Tammy castrate him: “She could castrate a dog in less than five minutes.”) Felbaum, now 58, was arrested in February at the Westmoreland County (Pennsylvania) Courthouse after mouthing off at security guards searching her purse. She quipped sarcastically, “I have guns and an Uzi (and) a rocket launcher. I am going to shoot a judge today.” (She was in court on a dispute over installation of a sewer line to her trailer home.)

Marissa Alexander of Jacksonville, Florida, convicted and given a 20-year sentence in 2012 for firing a warning

shot into a wall to fend off her abusive estranged husband, finally had the charges dropped in February. The persnickety trial judge had earlier determined that Florida’s notorious “Stand Your Ground” law did not apply, even though the husband admitted that he was threatening to rough up Alexander and that she never aimed the gun at him.

(With that defense not allowed, Alexander was doomed under Florida’s similarly notorious 20-year mandatory sentence for aggravated assault using a gun.)

In 2008, Vince Li, a passenger on a Greyhound bus in Canada, stabbed another passenger, then beheaded him and started to eat him, and in 2009 was “convicted” — but “not criminally responsible” because of schizophrenia.

He has been institutionalized and under treatment since then, and in February, doctors signed off on an “absolute” release back into society for Li (now known as Will Baker) — declining a “conditional” release, which would have required continued monitoring. Manitoba province law requires absolute discharge if doctors conclude, on the “weight of the evidence,” that the patient is no longer a “significant” safety threat.

Doris Payne, 86, was arrested once again for shoplifting — this time at an upscale mall in an Atlanta suburb in December — but according to a 2013 documentary, “careerwise,” she has stolen more than $2 million in jewelry from high-end shops around the world.

No regrets, she said on the film, except “I regret getting caught.” Said her California-based lawyer, “Aside from her ‘activities,’ she is a wonderful person with a lot of fun stories.”

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 25 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Resolve any feelings you have that are keeping you from settling down or pursuing someone who is good for you.

Make a motion to change your mindset to spending more oneon-one time with someone with substance. Chasing the rush of love won’t lead to stability.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t settle for someone who isn’t right for you. Question how much you have in common and if you feel a connection mentally, physically and emotionally.

Laughter and feeling comfortable with each other should be a positive signal that you’ve met Mr. or Ms. Right.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Disillusionment will set in when it comes to love if you believe everything someone tells you. Take a step back and consider what’s fact and what’s fiction before you give your heart to a smooth talker looking for someone to lean on. If the connection isn’t equal, take a pass.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t waffle when it comes to love. If someone fits into your life and brings you joy, say yes and keep moving forward. But if someone makes you nervous and you don’t share the same values, move on swiftly before you feel stuck. Hesitation will lead to loss.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Love is all around you, but your busy life and quick pace will make it very difficult for you to notice if someone is interested in you. Slow down and take a little time to have fun and get to know some of the acquaintances you make this week.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It will be difficult for you to see clearly when it comes to relationships.

You’ll have to sift through what potential suitors say to you carefully. Ulterior motives are present, and the likelihood of someone trying to take advantage of you or what you have will leave you disheartened.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Change will be a huge attraction for you. The partner who offers excitement, innovative ideas and mental stimulation will capture your attention. Don’t feel you have to make a snap decision. Take your time, enjoy the ride and see where it takes you. Live in the moment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Get involved in something unique that sparks your imagination, and you will discover you aren’t alone in your search for the unknown.

When you go about finding love differently and you don’t rule out anyone due to his or her background, you’ll be surprised by how well you get along.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be caught between wanting to settle down and the fear of being trapped. Press forward with optimism and the honesty to admit what sort of relationship you are searching for, and you will stand a better chance of finding someone who is looking for a similar lifestyle.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Look at past relationships, and consider what attracted you the most. Reconnect with someone you still have feelings for, or look for someone who has similar traits. You will attract and should avoid anyone who expects to be taken care of or is high maintenance.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Step up and take control. If you love someone, say so.

Make the first move; it’s best to find out where you stand so you can move forward one way or another. You’ll have plenty of opportunity, so don’t get down if someone isn’t receptive.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): There will be highs and lows when it comes to love.

Honesty will play a role, along with trying too hard to be what someone is looking for instead of who you are.

Don’t hide who you are, and you will find the partner who is right for you.
