Casino skepticism
I agree with the editorial skepticism of the benefits of a casino (Urban Journal, May 4). Of course the management will try to keep the players inside. But won’t the same be true for the patrons of the performing arts center? I think on the way down from the third floor, there will be many enticements competing with independent night spots and restaurants that may be on the surrounding streets. Of more concern is the creation of sovereign governance by the involved tribe. Apparently, the current Buffalo mayor is pleased with the casino in his city. Some years ago, however, the mayor at that time was not happy with the casino. There was some conflict between the tribal owners and the state that led the tribe to hold back revenue owed to Buffalo. Should a casino not prosper, under the rule of sovereignty, the city would not have any control over subsequent redevelopment. TONY MITTIGA
Go meatless to help save the planet
Less than a week after the Sierra Club forum presented “Agriculture and Climate Change,” CITY was “Spreading the Love of Local Meat” (News, May 4). Forum keynote speaker Keegan Kuhn, co-creator of the film “COWSPIRACY,” revealed how the world’s 70 billion farm animals produce more greenhouse gas than the combined output of every car, truck, bus, train, plane and ship on the planet. When feed, transportation, processing, distribution, deforestation 2 CITY

for pasture, and preparation are factored in, the total greenhouse contribution exceeds 50 percent. Internal memos from the Nestlé corporation obtained by WikiLeaks warned that our planet can expect a water crisis by 2025; up to one-third of people may not have enough fresh water to drink. The memo laid the cause of the crisis squarely on farm animals, which consume 55 percent of the world’s fresh water. Climate scientist Dr. James Hansen remarked at last year’s Sierra Club forum that eating less meat is the single most effective personal action we could take to reduce our greenhouse footprint. So, there is the information. How much do you care about your children’s future and the planet it depends on? What do we owe the vast accumulation of human effort that preceded us and made the life we enjoy possible? What do we owe those who will come after us? These are fair questions to contemplate as we consider making difficult personal choices. Going meatless is not a consignment to hell. I’ve been a vegetarian for 35 years and I enjoy a varied, flavorful, and satisfying diet. A few good cookbooks can get you started. JOHN KASTNER
Does Rochester really need Uber (News, May 11)? I think Uber is a great idea. Rochester has never been a robust cab town, and my experience has been if you’re in the suburbs, you get poor service and usually brokendown cabs. JOHN ROBERT BROWN
While hipsters and millennials love Uber and Lyft for some reason, the horror stories from customers of these unregulated services seem to be never ending. I applaud the voters in Austin for kicking these two companies from their city. ERIC MALONEY

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
Looking for optimism and finding it at home In this grim period of a grim political year, it’s easy to get sucked in by the negativity. Presumably intelligent Republicans are lining up to support Donald Trump. A Clinton win isn’t a slam dunk. Two of the most powerful elected officials in New York State have been sentenced to prison for corruption. And Preet Bharara’s investigators are sniffing around people close to the governor – including the SUNY Polytechnic chief who seems determined to control Rochester’s Photonics Institute. So it’s a relief to find hope and possibility, not in the presidential race, not in politics at all, actually, but here at home, in the substantial number of young professionals who are ready to change the community and seem determined to do it. Many older Rochesterians have watched our adult children leave for larger cities. And we convince ourselves that everybody’s doing it, that younger generations won’t find anything here to like. That isn’t the case, though, for the five young professionals who were featured at last week’s Rochester Downtown Development Corporation program. These are not the young adults who were starting their careers in Rochester in the 1960’s and 1970’s, when the Big Three industries were dominating the local labor force. These young adults are working in some of the numerous smaller enterprises that seem to be Rochester’s future. Four of the five on last week’s RDDC panel grew up here, left for college or work, but came back. Rochester is where they wanted to live. Ana Liss was convinced that the city offered a good career opportunity, and she found it at Greater Rochester Enterprise, where she is managing director of business development. André Primus, who came home because he “got the Rochester itch,” is an assistant planner at Highland Planning community development firm and is also the founder and director of RocShare, an organization that encourages sharing economies. Steve Vogt went to New York City but didn’t like it, came back home, and is a manager at the data management firm PeerPlace Networks. Sarah Fitzgerald is a marketing associate at the rapidly expanding downtown firm CGI Communications. The fifth RDDC panelist, Seth Eshelman, came here as a student, got a degree at RIT, and wanted to stay, believing the city offered “space and opportunity.” The result is Staach, the furniture-design company he founded 10 years ago in the former main post office on Cumberland Street.
Some young professionals see plenty to like here, and they want to be involved in improving the city. ”
They like Rochester’s affordability – although they want lower priced apartments downtown. (“I love the new developments,” said Fitzgerald, “but I can’t afford them. I’m climbing up the corporate ladder, but I’m not there yet.”) They like Rochester’s people, the “walkability” of the center city, the festivals. And they want to be involved in the community. Several of them mentioned, unprompted, what some young-professional panelists had said at earlier RDDC programs: They want to help make Rochester thrive. They want to help make Rochester a place other young adults want to live. Rochester, said Primus, is “the right size to get things done.” Primus, Fitzgerald, Vogt, Liss, and Eshelman are representative of a large and growing population of young professionals. Their interest and enthusiasm suggests that Rochester could be attractive to many of the young people who graduate from area colleges and universities this time every year. But we all know what the challenges are. A big one: jobs. Lots more jobs. And if we want young professionals to live in the city once they have children, we’ll have to have a school district vastly different from the one we have today. Rochester, as André Primus said, is “the right size to get things done.” I hope, then, that politics and lethargy and insularity and risk-averseness – which sometimes seem to overwhelm the best of intentions in this community – don’t get in the way. We ought to be able to promise André that we won’t let him down. rochestercitynewspaper.com

The University of Rochester hasn’t been able to find a developer for a 1.5-acre parcel on East Main Street, near the Eastman School of Music. PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLIN DEVELOPMENT | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN
Downtown development misses prime parcel The University of Rochester has had nearly five years to develop a prime piece of downtown real estate known as Block F on East Main Street, diagonally across from the Eastman School of Music. But Rochester’s big-gun developers, the ones most likely to take on such a project, are tied up with other ventures, according to the City of Rochester. The UR bought the 1.5-acre parcel from the Cultural Center Commission in 2011, and was given until July 1, 2016, to develop the land. But given the tepid interest from local developers, the UR asked the city for a three-year extension, with two optional one-year extensions afterward.
City Council was to vote on the extension on Tuesday, and Council member Elaine Spaull said prior to the meeting that she expected the measure to pass. Block F is currently a parking lot, and with all the development happening downtown, she said, it’s not a bad thing to keep the parking space, at least for now. “We’re beginning to get a shortage of parking down there,” Spaull said. UR spokesperson Sara Miller said that the university seeks to enter a long-term lease with a developer to create a mixed-used development that contributes to the overall quality of life in the East Avenue cultural district, for the residents of the nearby Grove Place
neighborhood, and for the students of the Eastman School of Music. “There are certain space needs of the Eastman School of Music that we asked to be considered,” Miller said, “but would be part of a larger project.” The UR paid the commission $640,000 for the property, with the condition that if development didn’t happen by July 1, 2016, the commission could buy the land back. The commission dissolved in 2013, however, and the buyback option was given to the city, instead. The land is valued at $640,000, according to Monroe County tax records.

The papers focus on a variety of topics, regions, and faiths. One presenter’s work focuses on the impacts of climate change on rainfall in a Pakistan province, for example. Several papers explore Pope Francis’s statements on climate change or the ecological and environmental messages of the Quran.
ENVIRONMENT | BY JEREMY MOULE
Scouring sacred texts for climate guidance The scientific approach to nature and the environment is a clear one, rooted in measurement, observation, and data. Religion’s connection to the natural world is more fluid; just how the environment fits into a faith depends on teachings and interpretations, both formal and personal. Science is the factual authority on the environment. But increasingly, religious leaders and people of faith are serving as the moral authority on environmental issues, climate change in particular. That evolving dynamic is at the heart of an upcoming conference at Nazareth College, organized by the school’s Hickey Center for Interfaith Studies and Dialogue, along with Hobart and William Smith Colleges’ Department of Religious Studies. The conference, Sacred Texts and Human Contexts: Nature and Environment in World Religions, will take place May 23 through May 25. “I think this is a very good combination, not only scientific review but religious review from the sacred texts,” says Muhammad Shafiq, the Hickey Center’s executive director. “And also how these sacred texts have been seen by the religious communities throughout the ages and how they were integrated as far as the environment is concerned.”
Professors of science, religion, and law have submitted papers, which they will present in panels during the conference. The presenters come from across the United States, as well as from Canada, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Philippines, Mexico, India, Malaysia, Nigeria, and Turkey. The papers focus on a variety of topics, regions, and faiths. One presenter’s work focuses on the impacts of climate change on rainfall in a Pakistan province, for example. Several papers explore Pope Francis’s statements on climate change or the ecological and environmental messages of the Quran. The conference has an academic bent, but Shafiq says that he hopes that the papers will be used in colleges, churches, and other places for education. He says that he also hopes that by giving religious leaders and the faithful a better understanding of scientific and sacred views on the environment and climate change, they’ll take an active part in protection efforts. “We need to look big: what is right, what is not right,” Shafiq says. The Hickey Center has organized similar conferences in the past, but focused on different topics. The first conference dealt with interfaith understanding and the second, which was held in Turkey, focused on wealth

and poverty. The center has published a book of the papers from the first conference and expects to publish a book of the second conference’s papers this year, possibly by the end of May, Shafiq says. It plans to publish the papers from this year’s conference, also. More information on the conference, including a schedule and list of speakers, is available at naz.edu/interfaith. Anyone interested in attending the conference can call the Hickey Center at (585) 389-2383 or (585) 389-2963.
Tepid response so far to police reorg Included in Mayor Lovely Warren’s new budget is troubling news about the Rochester police reorganization, which went into effect last year. Warren led the reorg, which is more of a realignment since it doesn’t include new police buildings. The city is currently studying the how, where, and when of neighborhood precincts. The city sought public input while preparing the budget, and the feedback included what people think of the reorg so far. Only 24 percent said that the reorg has made their neighborhood safer. Fifty-two percent said that they don’t know, and another 24 percent said that they disagree or strongly disagree. Only 29 percent said that the reorg has improved policecommunity relations, while 24 percent disagreed or strongly disagreed, and 47 percent don’t know. Thirty-three percent said that they see more officers in their neighborhood, 42 percent said that they disagree or strongly disagree, and 25 percent don’t know. Less than half of the participants, 45 percent, said that they would be willing to pay for additional investment in public safety. The reorganization is relatively new, though, so it may be that there are still bugs to work out. And if data comes out showing positive trends, such as reduced response times, it’s conceivable that people’s opinions could change.

GOVERNMENT | BY JEREMY MOULE
Brockport’s fate is in voters’ hands The Village of Brockport has had some spectacular fights over the years. When the state wanted to close the Normal School in the 1930’s, Brockport residents fought and convinced higher-ups to keep it open; what was once a teachers’ school is now SUNY Brockport. The community also waged a high-profile, protracted campaign to get polluted lands cleaned up. And village officials battled with the towns of Sweden and Clarkson over fire services. But right now, the village is in the middle of its most pressing conflict in years, and it concerns Brockport’s very existence. On May 24, Brockport voters will decide whether to dissolve the village government. Brockport is within the Town of Sweden. “It is about taxes, no matter what anybody says,” says Rhett King, a leader of One Brockport, the group that’s advocating for dissolution. King submitted the petition which forced the vote. Group members say that the village is a redundant layer of government and provides services already provided by the Town of Sweden and Monroe County; eliminating the village would save money, they say. But it’s not that simple. With a population of 8,400, Brockport is Monroe County’s largest village.

This week’s calls to action include the following events and activities. All are free and open to the public unless otherwise noted.
Film warns of extinction
First Unitarian Church will host a showing of the film “Racing Extinction” at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, May 18. The film by Louie Psihoyos has been described as an eco-thriller and uses extraordinary photography to examine humanity’s role in the issues facing endangered species and a vulnerable planet. The film will be shown at the church, 220 Winton Road South.
Training offered for activists
First Unitarian Church of Rochester will host “A Call for Activists” from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, May 22. The meeting’s organizers say that collective and grassroots activism is more important than ever given the state of the country and our politics. Trainers
from the Pachamama Alliance of San Francisco will provide their knowledge to organizations and individuals working on environmental sustainability and social justice. The event will be held at the church, 220 Winton Road South. Donations accepted. RSVP: www.pachamama.org/workshop/3177/ AfternoonofExploringHowWeCanWorkTogether.
Voter education meeting to be held
The New York Civil Liberties Union and the League of Women Voters will hold a voter education town hall meeting from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, May 24. This meeting is for anyone who is confused about the voting process or wants to know more about the elections and is tired of the conflicting messages on social media. The event will be held at Downtown United Presbyterian Church, 121 North Fitzhugh Street.
Volunteers sought for voter registration
The Rochester Voter Alliance is seeking volunteers to help with voter registration from June to September, leading up to the fall elections. RVA is a nonpartisan organization made up of many faith and community groups, and the organization is focusing on urban areas with low voter participation and high poverty rates. But volunteers must remain nonpartisan, never recommending a candidate or a political position, and never revealing their own party affiliation or attitudes about the candidates. The goal is to get people out to the polls to vote. Interested individuals should contact Judy Schwartz: 442-5111.
Dining
The Exchange at Corn Hill recently opened in the former space of Nathaniel's Pub. The restaurant has a pub-centric menu that features (pictured) The New Yorker, a burger with corned beef, caramelized onions, bacon, Swiss cheese, and Thousand Island dressing. PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLIN
Exchanging the look [ CHOW HOUND ] BY KATIE LIBBY
If you walk into The Exchange at Corn Hill (251 Exchange Boulevard) thinking it will just be a take on Nathaniel’s Pub, the former occupant, only with new ownership, you would be mistaken. The space has undergone extensive renovations; managing partner Jeff Limuti is confident “you wouldn’t even recognize it.” Limuti — who also owns Brickwood Grill on Monroe Avenue — and partners Jimmy Wilmot, Alex Odenbach, and Tyler French opened The Exchange on April 7. Limuti wanted to open in a new, clean, space; a fresh start. The new bar and restaurant is a bit more upscale and familyfriendly than Nathaniel’s, with a menu that is pub-centric but uses local and fresh ingredients — the restaurant is working with local distributor Palmer’s Direct to source higher quality goods. The Exchange also makes more items in-house. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, and the menu features an assortment of starters, salads, sandwiches, and entrees. The Pork Fingers ($8) and
Chicken Tenders ($8) are both handbreaded to order and the fries are all hand-cut. All of the burgers are made with Angus beef, and look for the New Yorker ($13), which adds corned beef, caramelized onions, bacon, Swiss cheese, and Thousand Island dressing. The menu’s entrée selection includes mussels ($13) served in a garlic herb butter sauce, and a blackened mahi-mahi ($15) served with ginger slaw. Vegetarians can munch on the caprese flatbread pizza ($12), which uses fresh mozzarella, tomato, pesto, a balsamic glaze, and basil. It would be remiss of me not to mention the televisions: there are 21 of them. This a sports bar after all. The Exchange is a big supporter of women’s soccer, and also hosts a Manchester United fan club to watch premier league soccer games. The bar has 24 draft beer lines, with selections from local breweries like Genesee, Naked Dove, and CB Craft Brewers. Limuti works with local charities to host events at Brickwood Grill, and he hopes to carry that tradition on at The Exchange. And Look out for bourbon and beer tasting events down the line.
The Exchange at Corn Hill is located at 251 Exchange Boulevard. It is open Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 2 a.m.; Saturday from 12 p.m. to 2 a.m.; and Sunday, 12 p.m. to 12 a.m. 4175623; exchangesportsbar.com.

SATURDAY, MAY 21 KODAK CENTER FOR PERFORMING ARTS, 200 WEST RIDGE ROAD 8 P.M. | $55-$95 | KODAKCENTER.ORG KENNYROGERS.COM [ COUNTRY ] My first brush with Kenny Rogers came when I was young. My dad owned the most eclectic albums imaginable, including “The First Edition,” the eponymous debut record from Rogers and his band. That album featured “Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In).” Later on, when “The Gambler” was released, the man with the captain’s beard was everywhere on the radio. At 77 years old, Rogers is still king, but he’s following his own sage advice of “know when to fold ‘em,” so he’s embarking on a farewell tour. — BY ROMAN DIVEZUR

Pittsburgh’s Young Fox manages it magnificently. Vocally this band is on an even keel with a melodic sensibility, all while the guitars drive at it from every side. It’s heavy and atmospheric and not the least bit indulgent. Alberto Alaska, The Dirty Pennies, and Periodic Table of Elephants will also play. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

moxy, Chicago-born musician Courtney Yasmineh is truly an alternative to the alternative with her quirky take on what would be pop if it came out of anyone else.

All That Remains SUNDAY, MAY 22 MONTAGE MUSIC HALL, 50 CHESTNUT STREET 7 P.M. | $20-$23 | THEMONTAGEMUSICHALL.COM ALLTHATREMAINSONLINE.COM [ METAL ] All That Remains has always been a band
that plays by its own rules. The group has been going strong since 1998, and has no problem putting out records that combine the heaviness and guitar theatrics of traditional metal with the melody and catchiness of the best acoustic ballads. The approach has landed the band fans across the metal spectrum, from the underground to the mainstream. All That Remains’ latest record, “The Order of Things,” is a perfect representation of the band itself. It has some of the band’s heaviest material in years, but also has some of its most melodic. An interview with vocalist Phil Labonte will be online Thursday at rochestercitynewspaper.com. — BY KRIS KIELICH
Saxophonist Will Vinson, a London native, has been a force on the New York City scene since 1999, playing with jazz artists like Kurt Rosenwinkel and Chris Potter, and pop singers like Rufus Wainwright and Sufjan Stevens. Over the years, he’s recorded five albums showcasing his excellent playing and compositions, but his new CD, “Perfectly out of Place,” is different. Vinson has broadened his scope in terms of compositions and arrangements. Vinson’s excellent band — Gonzalo Rubalcaba, piano; Mike Moreno, guitar; Matt Penman, bass; and Jeff Ballard, drums — is still here. But he has added (to various tracks) the wordless vocals of Jo Lawry, the percussion of Jamey Haddad, and strings in the form of The Mivos Quartet. The result is an album that lives up to its great ambitions. Some of the tunes, notably “Chalk It Up,” showcase Vinson’s soaring soprano sax in a fusion-like setting. Others, like “Desolation Tango” and “Skyrider,” cross over into a gorgeous, semi-classical territory while retaining a contemporary edge. — BY RON NETSKY

Luis Perdomo “Montage” Hot Tone Music Luisperdomojazz.com
Whenever I’ve listened to an album with Luis Perdomo at the piano, it doesn’t matter if it’s a Ravi Coltrane album, a Miguel Zenón album, or an E.J. Strickland album, it’s also a Luis Perdomo album. He’s that striking a musical presence. Over the last dozen years, Perdomo has released seven records as a leader, but “Montage” is his first solo piano album. It was worth waiting for. Born in Caracas, Venezuela, Perdomo brings a wonderful crosscultural flair to his playing and his repertoire. His three original tunes show off his dexterity and his melodic gift. Two of them grew out of improvisational excises. As for his covers, some are fresh takes on classic tunes (“Monk’s Dream,” “Body and Soul”) while others offer a fascinating glimpse into the music he heard growing up (“Mambo Mongo,” and the bolero, “Si Te Contara”). There are also some obscure gems. The most fascinating is “Cal Massey,” a Stanley Cowell tune in which the left hand is a mirror image of the right hand while playing. Perdomo makes this analytical musical experiment downright lyrical. — BY RON NETSKY

Jazz organist Pat Bianchi will perform at the Pythodd Jazz Room on Tuesday. PHOTO PROVIDED
Vital organ Pat Bianchi TUESDAY, MAY 24 PYTHODD JAZZ ROOM, 4705 LAKE AVENUE 8 P.M. | FREE | 491-6649 FACEBOOK.COM/PYTHODD; PATBIANCHI.COM [ PROFILE ] BY RON NETSKY
Pat Bianchi’s fate was sealed on Christmas Eve 1983, when his parents took the 7-year-old to celebrate the holiday with his grandparents. “I went into the basement and there was a Farfisa organ on a dolly with a big bow on it,” Bianchi says. “I couldn’t believe it. Then, Christmas Day, I went to my other grandparents’ house, and there was an amplifier with a bow on it.” Three decades later, Bianchi is one of the country’s top B3 organists, placing second in the Rising Star Organist category in last year’s DownBeat Critics Poll. He’ll play the Pythodd Room on Tuesday, May 24, with Bob Sneider on guitar and drummer Carmen Intorre Jr. Music was part of Bianchi’s life from the beginning. Both of his grandfathers and his father played in dance bands around Rochester. Sometimes his father brought home recordings of his gigs, and at 5 or 6, Bianchi listened. “I really dug the sound of this one instrument,” Bianchi says. “I found out it was a Cordovox, an accordion with organ electronics built into it. I would sit with my toy keyboard for hours picking out what that guy was playing.” Once he had his Farfisa, no one had to tell him to practice. He played solo gigs at 11, and began subbing in his dad’s band at 13. 12 CITY MAY 18-24, 2016
Bianchi attended the preparatory program at the Eastman School of Music, and jammed at Giuseppe’s on Rochester’s west side. At Berklee College of Music in Boston, he got involved in the vibrant jazz scene, and studied with jazz greats like Joanne Brackeen. Soon after he graduated, a friend told Bianchi
about a piano gig at the El Chapultepec Club in Denver. At “The Pec,” he joined the house band playing six nights a week, backing touring stars like Dakota Staton, Javon Jackson, and Conte Candoli. “Instead of going to New York right away, this was my second school,” Bianchi says. “I’m on the bandstand with all these people. I’m getting my butt kicked. I’ve got to learn this tune and that tune, and deal with all this at 21.” In the meantime, he was getting back into organ and getting a bit restless. “I wanted to keep pushing ahead with my career and I wanted to see what New York was like, get involved in that scene, take a chance.” After moving to New York, his Denver contacts paid off. When Dr. Lonnie Smith couldn’t make a gig with saxophonist Lou Donaldson, Javon Jackson recommended Bianchi. It was a trial by fire. “We were in the middle of the gig, and Lou asked me if I knew ‘The Masquerade Is Over,’” says Bianchi. “I said, ‘No, I didn’t know it.’ He said — right on stage — ‘Well, you’re going to learn it right now.’ I had the ‘Oh, shit’ kind of moment, but I figured it out after a couple of choruses. And when it was over, he looked over and smiled at me. So I passed the test.”
One of Bianchi’s greatest experiences was a two-organ gig with his idol, Joey DeFrancesco. But his relationship with today’s top B3 organist didn’t start well. “When I was 16, my grandmother gave me a Joey DeFrancesco CD, ‘Live at the 5 Spot,’” Bianchi says. “I thought, oh my God, this is amazing. “When I was 20, in college, there was an Internet forum, Hamtech, for people interested in the Hammond organ. Somebody made a comment about the way Jack McDuff played left-hand bass. Being a kid and not knowing any better, I chimed in, ‘Oh come on, that’s garbage, the way you play organ bass is with the foot.’ At that time I played all my bass lines with my feet. “Somebody named ‘The Authority’ chimed in and said, ‘Oh no, you’ve got to check this out, because to really play jazz organ, you play the bass with the left hand and use the foot as sort of an attack to go with the left hand. But you can’t play all foot bass; it doesn’t swing the same.’ “There was an argument between myself and this guy for about a week on the Internet. Then a friend called me up and said, ‘Do you realize who you’re talking to?’ I said, ‘No, I don’t, and I don’t care. This guy’s full of shit.’ He said, ‘Well you’re talking to Joey DeFrancesco.’ I remember that moment; my stomach just dropped.” He immediately got on the computer, found DeFrancesco’s website, and emailed him to apologize. “I wrote, ‘I’m embarrassed beyond belief, I can’t believe what I just did, I’m an idiot.’ I got a reply back in about 15 minutes with nothing but a phone number. So I called him up. First thing he says to me was ‘How’s that left foot doing?’” They eventually became friends and Bianchi organized the two-organ concert. “I got my ass kicked, but I survived,” Bianchi says. A few years ago, when DeFrancesco played at the Rochester International Jazz Festival, Bianchi played keyboards with him. After decades of playing, Bianchi still can’t express exactly what makes the organ so appealing, but he knows one thing:” There’s nothing like it, the way it can fill a room. It’s almost like it’s alive on its own. And there’s nothing like being up on the bandstand and just locking that bass-line in and swinging with the drummer.” When it comes to soloing, it gets even better. It’s something he picked up from Dr. Lonnie Smith. “You start from nothing and build and build and build intensity, volume, everything. It can really hold people in a different way than an acoustic piano because you can make the instrument talk.”

CLASSICAL | “AMERICAN INNOVATIONS”
For the last stop in its seasonal tour of classical-music-by-countries, the Society for Chamber Music in Rochester is coming back home for a program of “American Innovations.” Eric Ewazen, an Eastman graduate who has been seen around town quite a bit lately for performances at Eastman and with the RPO, is represented on the program by his piece, Trio for Horn, Bassoon, and Piano. Allen Shawn, whose Violin Concerto was premiered several years by the RPO, is also present with a wind quintet. There is also music with a Latin tinge by Paquito D’Rivera, and two American classics: Elliott Carter’s Pastoral, and Samuel Barber’s wind quintet “Summer Music.” Those pieces are joined by a brand-new work called “Words, Wide Night” by Grace Ann Lee, winner of the Society’s Composition Competition in 2015. This varied program will be performed by Joanna Bassett, flute; Anna Steltenpohl, oboe and English horn; Kenneth Grant, clarinet; John Hunt, bassoon; Stephen Laifer, horn; and Joseph Werner, piano.

It starts with a formidable trio: John Bacon, vibraphone and percussion; Jonathan Golove, electric cello; and Michael McNeill, piano. Add the eerie, wordless vocals of Esin Gündüz, and get ready for some of the most ethereal music you’ll ever hear. Gündüz was born in Istanbul, Turkey, and the group performs a few Turkish folk songs, but even those are other-worldly. The musicians are equally fascinating to watch, especial when Bacon starts bowing the bars on his vibraphone. The name “resAUnance” combines the “resonance” of the voice and instrument combination with the “AU,” from PAUSA Art House in Buffalo.

The 1980’s brought a golden age of cult classics — “The Breakfast Club,” “The Princess Bride,” “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” the list goes on — but 1989’s “Heathers” is in a (high school) class of its own. The musical version follows the same plot as the film: On the first day of high school in 1989, intelligent, pretty social outcast Veronica Sawyer is invited into an exclusive high school clique called “The Heathers” after she successfully forges a hall pass to get the popular girls out of detention. The three Heathers, led by vicious queen bee Heather Chandler, give Veronica a makeover. The new kid, Jason “J.D.” Dean, notices Veronica’s hesitancy to truly conform to the Heathers, and criticizes her choices when she betrays her childhood best friend, Martha Dunnstock. J.D. and Veronica start to “go steady,” and that’s where the story takes off at Westerburg High. “Heathers: The Musical” was first staged as a concert at Joe’s Pub in NYC’s Public Theater in 2010; produced as a full musical for sold-out Los Angeles audiences in 2013; and moved to offBroadway for a brief run in 2014. The Blackfriars Theatre production is the first time the show has been performed in the state outside of New York City. Kevin Murphy (the musical adaptation of “Reefer Madness”) and Laurence O’Keefe (“Legally Blonde: The Musical,” “Bat Boy: The Musical”), who excel in the kitschy films-adapted-for-stage genre, penned the book, music, and lyrics. In the role of Veronica Sawyer, Nazareth College musical theater major Kit Prelewitz is an effortlessly ideal good girl-turned-kind of bad. Prelewitz portrays the spunk and rebellion iconized by Winona Ryder in the film role, but
she adds her own interpretation to the role, bringing in a softer, quietly strong side to Veronica. With her clear, sweet voice and spot-on acting skills, Prelewitz is a burgeoning starlet with many more leading roles in her future. Playing opposite her is Jimmy Boorum as Jason “J.D.” Dean. Boorum is a regular on the local theater circuit, but this role is somehow ideal for him (and it’s not just the Christian Slater-esque hair). Boorum captures the angst of the teenage years but adds in just Abby Kate Herron, Brynn Tyszka, and Sammi Cohen are the enough crazy to make ruthless Heathers in Blackfriars Theatre’s production of it feel uncomfortable. “Heathers: The Musical.” PHOTO BY DAN HOWELL Together, Boorum and Prelewitz have some of the “adults” of Westerburg High, Jeff the best duets in the Andrews, Brian J.

ART | “LADIES FIRST”
Keith A. Smith is a renowned book artist, printmaker, and photographer, and since the mid-1960’s has created nearly 300 works, including volumes on book theory and bookmaking technique. (I’ve now written “book” so many times that the word sounds funny.) A selection of Smith’s work, including imagery from his large fold book, “Ladies First,” is on display at Visual Studies Workshop (31 Prince Street) until July 1. The exhibition and the book — which VSW has reproduced in a special boxed edition — focuses on his representation of women in classical paintings as well as painter Frida Kahlo. VSW’s “Ladies First” is the first in a new series of artists’ books that the organization is launching on June 23 at the opening of its fourth Photo-Bookworks Symposium. Visual Studies Workshop is open Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and admission is free.

On Saturday, May 21, the Rochester Orienteering Club will host ROC The Map Adventure, an event that will take teams and individual hikers, cyclists, and runners across the city. The meeting point is at the South Avenue Recreation Center (999 South Avenue).

THEATER | “FLAMING GUNS OF THE PURPLE SAGE”
A bitter rodeo cowgirl, a “shocking” woman named Shedevil, and a one-eyed Ukrainian biker named Black Dog go head-tohead (to head) in the play “Flaming Guns of the Purple Sage.” The satirical, Tarantino-esque genre mashup will be performed as a staged reading this weekend at Blackfriars Theatre (795 East Main Street). Part of the Hourglass Play Reading Series — which presents script-in-hand readings of plays that might not otherwise have the opportunity to be seen in Rochester — “Flaming Guns” is written by Jane Martin (the pseudonym of an acclaimed playwright whose true identity remains unknown), and takes inspiration from the pulpy westerns of writer Zane Grey. But the play takes those genre conventions to ridiculous extremes as Martin adds in elements of comedy and horror. There may also be zombies. “Flaming Guns of the Purple Sage” will be performed on Saturday, May 21, at 3 p.m. The reading is free to attend, though donations are accepted.

A toothless monster “Money Monster”
(R), DIRECTED BY JODIE FOSTER NOW PLAYING [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
Jodie Foster returns to the director’s chair for the first time since 2011 (when she directed the oddball dramedy, “The Beaver”) with “Money Monster,” a hostage thriller that rages against the greed and corruption of corporate America. Contrasting the modern-day subject matter with a retro vibe, the film positions itself as a throwback to the message thrillers of the 1970’s, with particular emphasis on Sidney Lumet’s classics “Network” and “Dog Day Afternoon.” George Clooney stars as Lee Gates, the Jim Cramer-like host of a cable network financial
advice show, who dispenses stock tips amid gimmicky soundbites and softball interviews, all backed by gyrating, hot pants-sporting dancers. Keeping things running smoothly is Lee’s capable producer Patty Fenn (Julia Roberts). Then one day, a disgruntled Queens truck driver, Kyle (Jack O’Connell), raids the studio with a gun and forces the host to strap on a bomb vest. Kyle lost everything after buying into one of Lee’s stock tips, investing in a high-frequency trading company that recently lost $800 million due to what the company claims was a computer “glitch.” Taking Lee hostage on live television, Kyle orders that the cameras keep rolling as he demands answers. As the NYPD congregates outside and Lee sweats on camera, Patty works behind the scenes, fielding calls from the police negotiators, and figuring out how to diffuse the situation — and still ordering her cameramen into the position that makes for the best television possible. Patty gets unexpected assistance from the trading company’s sympathetic chief communications officer, Diane (Caitriona Balfe), who begins digging around on the

inside while the company’s slimy CEO Walt Camby (Dominic West) is off on a private jet, conveniently unavailable for comment. With a sardonic streak of black humor, the film resembles “The Big Short,” another recent spin on the country’s financial crisis. Writers Alan DiFiore, Jim Kouf, and Jamie Linden paint the central conflict in broad strokes, but they excel at capturing the world of live television, both in energy and in the technical aspects. They’re aided by the graceful camerawork of Matthew Libatique (who also shot Spike Lee’s “Inside Man,” another of this film’s clear influences, and which just happened to feature a great performance from Foster). “Money Monster” establishes fairly early on that Kyle’s a decent guy at heart, and the ostensible tension of the film comes from whether his desperation will cause him to do something he won’t be able to come back from. It’s a tension that Foster unfortunately doesn’t exploit as much as she could (or should), and that’s one of the film’s biggest problems. As the film gradually fashions Kyle into an underdog hero à la Sonny Wortzik, the threat lessens more and more. Whether that’s due to Foster’s inexperience with suspense filmmaking or simply because the film’s marketing gives away far too much, the result drains the film of the urgency it desperately needs. Things devolve as the film moves toward an increasingly muddled and preposterous third act, which simplifies things to a ridiculous degree, particularly as Camby’s character proves cartoonishly evil, down to an eye-rolling

throwaway line that gives further insight into his relationship with Diane. Clooney, Roberts, and O’Connell are good in roles that never get much of an opportunity to develop beyond types. Clooney is the smug, money-obsessed huckster who grows a conscience — though to the film’s credit, it’s not so quick to forgive him for his transgressions. In one of the film’s best moments, Lee delivers a populist appeal that’s straight out of a Capra film, before letting the rug get pulled out from under him. Roberts is the dependable, underappreciated workaholic in the vein of Holly Hunter’s character in ‘Broadcast News.” In Patty and Diane, the film gives us appreciably strong female characters, who ultimately emerge as the film’s ideological voices of reason. O’Connell’s Kyle is the somewhat dimwitted schmo whose aggressive actions get him into a situation where he’s in over his head. O’Connell is a talented actor who has yet to truly break out, despite his high-profile role in Angelina Jolie’s WWII epic, “Unbroken,” as well as stellar performances in indie thrillers “Starred Up” and “‘71.” Spotty New York accent aside, the actor makes Kyle sympathetic, allowing us to see him as more than just a ranting lunatic. Like “The Big Short” before it, “Money Monster” seeks to show the human cost of Wall Street and corporate America’s unmitigated greed. But in comparing the film to the 70’s masterworks it seeks to emulate, its satirical bite proves disappointingly mild.

The house at 75 Culver Road, with its distinctive Tudor style false half-timbering, stands out among its neighboring early 20th century residences that face Cobbs Hill Park. In fact, the house exhibits a number of sophisticated elements that may indicate the work of an architect. Built in 1900, the house has three full stories totaling 2,427 square feet of living space. A wide masonry porch is a welcoming space to visit with neighbors as well as a place to enjoy the beautiful park across the street. Step into the vestibule and you can’t help but notice the handsome multi-colored tiled floor and the handy built-in umbrella cupboard. Next you’ll be awed by the impressive hall with its grand gumwood staircase and trim. The wide opening into the living room features an unusual architectural center archway, which draws the eye to the gumwood coffered ceiling beyond. Wide baseboards, oak floors, cove molding and window trim contrast sharply to the bright walls. A brick fireplace provides a focal point for the room. It is here that one first notices three rectangular leaded and stained glass windows, each featuring a different symbol of a muse: here music, art and architecture. There are six other stained glass windows, each with a different image, including in the powder room off the hall and on the staircase landing. The large dining room is well lit by south-facing windows. Beyond is a serviceable kitchen and a
space currently used as a mud room; with its window to the backyard, it could serve as an attractive breakfast area. The second floor contains three bedrooms and a full bath with a Jacuzzi tub; the hall features built-in cupboards along with a bench with a storage seat. The spacious master bedroom stretches across the front, has a small fireplace—a perfect place to install a gas-fired element—and opens to a balcony. The back bedroom also has access to an open porch overlooking the rear of the property. The third floor houses the fourth bedroom, complete with oak trim, and a full bath with its original clawfoot tub and sink, a space likely used by servants at the turn of the 20th century. There is also a large attic storage room. Although the property doesn’t contain a garage, the blacktop driveway has been expanded behind the house for multiple cars and easy turnarounds. It’s also a great space for basketball, skate boarding or other activities. This fine property is centrally located between the many assets of the Park Avenue and Monroe Avenue areas, along with easy access to I-490. It is offered at $190,000. Contact Debra Raup of Hunt Real Estate ERA/Columbus at 585-7383628 for more information. by Ann Parks Ann is a Landmark Society volunteer.

FORECLOSURE OF TAX LIENS BY THE CITY OF ROCHESTER STATE OF NEW YORK SUPREME COURT COUNTY OF MONROE IN THE MATTER OF THE FORECLOSURE OF TAX LIENS PURSUANT TO TITLE 4 OF PART E OF ARTICLE IX OF THE CHARTER OF THE CITY OF ROCHESTER.
LIST OF DELINQUENT TAXES AS OF JULY 1, 2015 PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on April 13, 2016, the Corporation Counsel of the City of Rochester filed in the office of the Monroe County Clerk a list of parcels of property on which the City of Rochester holds a lien for taxes, assessments, fees or other charges which is at least one year old and which the City of Rochester intends to foreclose by an action in rem pursuant to Title 4 of Part E of Article IX of the Charter of the City of Rochester. A copy of that list was published on April 13, 2016. The foreclosure list contains as to each such parcel: 1. The tax account number and address; 2. The name of the last known owner; 3. The amount of each tax lien, except for a $175.00 charge which has been added to each tax lien pursuant to Section 9-123(A)(3)of the City Charter but which is not reflected on the printed list. All persons having an interest in the real property described in the foreclosure list are hereby notified that the filing of the list constitutes the commencement by the City of Rochester of an action in the Supreme Court, Monroe County, to foreclose the tax liens therein described by an action in rem and that the list constitutes a notice of pendency of action and a complaint by the City of Rochester against each parcel of land therein described to enforce the satisfaction of such tax liens. This action is brought against the real property only. No personal judgment will be entered in this action for the delinquent taxes, assessments, fees or other charges.
A copy of the foreclosure list has been filed in the office of the City Treasurer and will remain open for public inspection up to and including September 30, 2016, which is the redemption deadline date. Any person may on or before that date redeem any parcel on the foreclosure list by paying to the City Treasurer the amount of all delinquent taxes, assessments, fees and other charges stated on the foreclosure list, plus the $175.00 charge referred to above, plus accrued interest and late payment charges. Any person having any interest in any parcel on the foreclosure list may, at any time up to the redemption deadline date, serve a verified notice of interest or an answer upon the Corporation Counsel setting forth in detail the nature and amount of his interest or any defense or objection to the foreclosure. The notice of interest or answer must also be filed in the office of the Monroe County Clerk. Where a valid notice of interest is served, the parcel will be held for a foreclosure auction pursuant to Section 9-143 of the City Charter. Any person who fails to redeem or to serve a notice of interest or an answer by the redemption deadline date shall be barred thereafter from asserting his interest in the pending foreclosure action, and judgment in foreclosure may be granted without regard for, and in extinguishment of, the interest of any such person.

The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. In addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid office, there are government agencies and nonprofit organizations that you may contact for information about possible options, including trying to work with your lender during this process. To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained by the New York State Banking Department of Financial Services at 1-800-342-3736 or visit the Department’s website at www.dfs. ny.gov. FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD
Google Sees the Future
Google filed a U.S. Patent Office application on April 28 for a vision-improvement device in liquid form that, once inserted (i.e., injected directly into the eyeball!), solidifies into not only a lens replacement for the eye but an instrument that carries its own storage, radio, and wireless power supply. The idea, according to inventor Andrew Jason Conrad, is to better focus light onto the retina. (The patent process does not assure that the device will ever come to fruition, but it might indicate that Google’s parent, Alphabet, is concerned that other inventors might be doing similar work.)
The Entrepreneurial Spirit! — Before new parents ruin their baby
daughter’s chances of future success by giving her “weak” names (such as Polly), they should consult one of several services that recommend more powerful ones (such as Elizabeth). A New York City woman offers personalized naming research for fees starting at several hundred dollars, but a Swiss agency whose primary work is helping to name product brands now offers parents suggestions on their offspring’s “brand” (for corporate-like fees beginning at around $29,000). (Parents in South Korea and India traditionally seek baby-naming recommendations from priests, who review religious text, culture and astrology — in exchange for modest offerings.) — Entrepreneur.com reported in April the surprising success of “Ship Your Enemies Glitter,” in which, for about $10, the startup sends an envelope full of glitter that, when opened, scatters, irritating (or enraging) the recipient. The concept was an overnight sensation, but quickly petered out and was seemingly worthless — until a prescient businessman offered $85,000
for its two assets: (1) a valuable list of customers who might buy similar pranks (such as a cupcake that’s really horse manure) and (2) an opportunity at additional waves of customers newly discovering the original glitter product. The $85,000 purchaser now reports sales “in the high six figures.”
Compelling Explanations — Peter Jensen of Athol, Idaho, filed a
lawsuit against the state transportation department in April after his driving privileges were revoked because his car had no license plate. For the inconvenience, he believes he deserves $5.6 million in damages (gold and silver only, please) because, for example, there is nothing about “license plates” in the Ten Commandments. — Simple As That: (1) Bingham County (Idaho) Sheriff Craig Rowland told reporters in March that the state legislature had no reason to improve the statewide administration of “rape kit” evidence because the majority of local rape accusations are, he is certain, consensual sex. (2) Scout Hodge, 20, angry at his mother, was charged with arson in Austin, Texas, in January for setting fire to her rug. He told police he did it as a “political” statement (unexplained) and to prove he isn’t a “loser.” — Modern Problems: (1) Sophia Sanchez, 27, was charged with intentionally crashing her car into her boyfriend’s vehicle in April in Riverside, Illinois. According to police, the couple had been arguing the night before, and Sanchez said she felt she had to disable his car so that he would talk to her. (2) William Timothy Thomas, 25, was arrested for vandalizing a home in Largo, Florida, in April. He told police he needed to go “destroy” stuff because he “listened to too much music and masturbated too much.” (Bonus: Three first names! Special police surveillance warranted!)
[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 28 ]
[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): You emotions will lead you in one direction, but your common sense will tug you another way when it comes to love. Give a chance to someone who offers greater security, a higher standard of living and a willingness to work with you instead of causing stress. Be smart, not used and abused. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Sign up for singles’ events or enlist a high-profile dating service to help you find love. No matter what you do, you will attract unusually interesting people who offer more than a brief, entertaining encounter. Look
for love, and you’ll find the real deal. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If someone puts pressure on you to do things that are questionable, you are best to run in the opposite direction. You will be mistreated if you are too trusting or are willing to give someone the benefit of the doubt. Read the signs, and back away from trouble. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Someone from your past can play an important part in your love life. Whether it’s reuniting with someone special or being introduced to someone new by and old friend, the prospects look promising. Don’t wait
for love to come to you. A proactive approach to love will bring good results. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Get involved in physical activities, travel and social events, and you will stir up plenty of interest. The attraction is likely to be physical, so before you become too chummy, find out more about the person of interest’s likes, dislikes and beliefs. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): How you present who you are and what you want will make a difference in who you attract. Use common sense and project the real you if you want to end up with someone who shares your dreams, hopes and
wishes. Love is in the stars. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You will be changeable and indecisive when it comes to settling down with one person. Refuse to let anyone coerce you into a relationship before you are ready. Expressing your feelings may not be easy, but it’s better to be honest to avoid being put in a compromising position. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Taking a path unique from what you are used to will be part of the draw you expereince with someone serious about building a future with you. Think any offer you receive through to the end before you make a decision that will change your life.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Faith and uncertainty will not mesh well. For every desire you have to find happiness with someone you are attracted to, you will also question his or her motives and the outcome of the relationship as it develops. Don’t fall for someone you are involved with professionally. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t second-guess a good connection you have established with someone. Opting to go for the partner offering little more than a flashy, playful disposition is likely to end in heartache. Make a point to spend time with the partner offering similar likes, dislikes and standards.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Keep in mind your past encounters to avoid making the same mistake twice. It’s important to rule out anyone who is controlling or set in his or her ways. Happiness will depend on being with someone who is as willing as you to experiment and try new things. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Consider what makes you happy and content before signing up for a relationship with someone who wants to call the shots. As long as you are clear about your expectations and what you are willing to contribute, a promising connection can be established.
