Medics, muses, murals: Wall Therapy If you’ve taken North Union Street on your way to the Rochester Public Market since last July, it’s possible that you’ve noticed the beautiful, serene girl hanging out under the railroad overpass. Her eyes are lowered and she won’t return your gaze, but even the wheeling sparrows adore her, and trail her from a distance. Opposite from this young girl is an undulating dragon with a fierce face and grasping claws, but the graceful girl is undisturbed. These images were painted by South Africa-based street artists Faith47 and DALeast. Both will return later this month to adorn more of Rochester’s walls with their work as part of a larger project, called Wall Therapy.

“I have a vision of making Rochester a destination city for this kind of inspired mural art,” says Ian Wilson (pictured), the man behind Wall Therapy and a radiologist at University of Rochester Medical Center.

Last year, Wall Therapy organized murals created

by South Africa- and Rochester-based artists in three locations. This year, Wall Therapy has grown to attract nine international artists who will be in town to paint July 20-28. The public will have the chance to see them work and interact with them, and to support the project through participation in fundraisers and other events.

While driving the upper west shore road of Keuka Lake, Yates County Road 76, I saw some old-style vertical gas wells that had obviously been “fracked” to extend the productive phase of the wells. Each has a white polyethylene tank labeled “produced water.” So there is a water separation process to dry the gas, and the tanks hold the water for periodic emptying. What is in the “produced water”?

We have not been told that in detail, but there is a required placard, which readers have likely seen in other places: a square array of four inner squares, displayed diamond-fashion, standing on one of the corners. At the gas wells, the blue square to the left has the number “4” displayed. According to the National Fire Protection Association Regulation code 704, that means that the contents present a health hazard and that the stored amount is more than 10 gallons.

The NFPA code is a system used by professional emergency and health and safety workers. These well sites are at the roadside or are connected by driveways without barriers. A better system for such public exposure would be the OSHA Globally Harmonized System of pictograms, which in this instance would display the skull and crossbones to warn against drinking the fluid; another, human torso symbol to indicate health hazard for contact or inhalation, and a tree symbol to show environmental hazard.

Or the letters on the tank could say: “Poison – stay away.”

Movie messages

dency” (June 20). It’s gratifying to see a newspaper exercise its mission to ask the uncomfortable questions in the search for truth and present the information in non-biased way.

We should be asking questions about rendition, drone strikes, terrorist hit lists, and the administration’s refusal to come clean with Congress and the People.

Why back in April of this year did the Department of Homeland Security order 450 million rounds of 40-caliber hollow-point ammo from the ATK company? The Geneva Convention forbids its use by the military. It’s for domestic use.

It’s for “home-grown terrorists.”

Why did Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta recently testify in front of Congress that the US military responds to the needs of the UN, NATO, and the prerogatives of the president?

Why was the National Defense Authorization Act passed in the dead of night?

It is the duty of every citizen to be involved with the running of our government. This means asking uncomfortable questions. Dissent is part of the American DNA. JEFF SLOWIK, FAIRPORT

Bug Jar fallout

I don’t think the incident outside the bug jar had anything to do with live entertainment or alcohol (“Bug Jar Breakdown,” June 27). The main cause of this incident is the points system in Rochester, which causes businesses not to call police for fear that they will be shut down. So a minor fight inside the bar ends up causing a major fight outside the bar, thereby causing one person to get a gun from their car and kill an innocent young man who was trying to be a peacemaker.

In other cities where the points system does not exist, a business will call the police at the first sign of trouble. The person is then arrested on minor charges and taken to jail.

This provides a wakeup call to this person that their conduct is inappropriate and allows the business to better serve their law-abiding customers.

DEWEY MARKHAM

Posted on rochestercitynewspaper.com If any bar owner does not call the police when there is violence or a threat of violence because they are afraid of the point system, they do not have the ethics or responsibility to operate such an establishment. The bar owner’s first priority is to the safety of your patrons, regardless of the city’s policies.

JUST FINE

Posted on rochestercitynewspaper.com

Um… I don’t remember reading that it was the owner or affiliates of the Bug Jar who shot this person.

Perhaps the blame belongs on the shoulders of the individual who made the conscious decision to take another life? Absurd idea, huh.

Richards’ take on Brooks and MCC

On Rochester Mayor Tom Richards’ comments about MCC and County Executive Maggie Brooks’ suggestion that MCC might pull out of downtown if it can’t move to the Kodak site (“MCC: Afghanistan Campus?” News Blog): Mister Mayor, as a Democrat, I voted for you. As a downtown MCC employee, however, I must point out that you are the one acting like the child who can’t get his way.

When MCC was ready to move to Kodak instead of signing an overly long, overly expensive new lease this spring, most of us know the city was the one who refused to give MCC the permits to do so, even though it was in its power.

MCC has gone out of its way to encourage a downtown campus. They could have moved temporarily to someplace like Irondequoit Mall, but they signed a lease at Sibley instead, for longer than what they expect to need. If they were considering abandoning downtown, why would they take this leap?

Safety is only one factor in the desire for a different location. WinnDevelopment likes to portray Sibley as an inexpensive option, but it isn’t. The equipment there is in desperate need of repair.

Whenever the AC or the escalators break down, they have to salvage parts or have them specially made.

Dems must get fired up over health-care law So Republicans have decided to make repealing the Affordable Care Act the focus of their campaign for the White House and Congress. The Supreme Court says the law is constitutional, but House Speaker John Boehner says it has to be “ripped out by its roots.”

This ought to be an easy fight for Democrats to win.

To throw out the law completely, Republicans have to gain enough Senate seats to fend off a Democratic filibuster: not likely. But they could cut off funding with a simple majority in the House and the Senate, virtually destroying the law. And yes, if President Obama is re-elected, he could veto the defunding. But imagine the hostility that would generate between Obama and Republicans, particularly if Republicans control both houses of Congress.

All of which makes it crucial for Obama to be re-elected and for Democrats to at least keep control of the Senate.

Republicans, backed by some loopy right-wing groups, are already rolling out their fear campaign, warning that liberty itself is at stake. That’s a smokescreen designed to obscure the Republicans’ goal of protecting pet special interests.

The Democrats – those in safe seats in Congress, those in risky seats, and the president himself – should grab the Republicans’ threat and aim it squarely back at them: Elect Mitt Romney, and insurance companies can refuse to cover you if you’ve had cancer. Give Republicans control of the House and the Senate, and you’ll lose your health insurance if you lose your job.

For all its faults, there’s a lot to be proud of in the act. It’s time for the Democrats to stop cowering and start shouting down the law’s critics.

The Affordable Care Act does not establish a government-run health-care system. Doctors will not work for the government under this law, any more than they do under Medicare. We’ll still be able to get health insurance from private insurance companies.

And by the way: Hospitals are delighted with the court’s ruling. Under the current health-care system, they treat people with no health insurance but absorb the cost themselves. (The rest of us bear part of the cost, too, in higher hospital bills.)

The need for this law – and for further reforms, reducing costs, increasing accessibility – is clear. The law’s critics

That political leaders defend a system that rations health care based on income, job status, and health condition is unconscionable.” ignore the pain of Americans thrown into bankruptcy by medical bills, Americans who can’t get treatment for serious medical conditions, who have had yearly and lifetime limits placed on the amount of treatment they can get for serious illness.

That political leaders in the United States defend a system that rations health care based on income, job status, and health condition is unconscionable. And that message shouldn’t be hard to sell.

There are extremists who will never support the law, who either don’t care that millions of people don’t have access to decent health care or believe that such people don’t exist. But nothing indicates that those extremists are the majority.

Many of the law’s critics wanted something stronger. Others, according to polls, aren’t clear about what the law provides.

The law’s critics on the left are correct; the law is far from perfect. It won’t cover everyone. It doesn’t rein in costs effectively.

And because it relies on the private insurance industry, there is waste that shouldn’t exist.

But the Affordable Care Act is a step in the right direction. And it is much, much better than what we have had, and much better than what we will get if Republicans destroy it.

Curiously, Republicans seem to have dropped their plan to focus the election campaign on jobs and the economy, a topic much more complicated, and harder for Democrats to discuss, than the Affordable Care Act. But so be it.

Rather than feeling threatened by the Republicans’ move, Democrats ought to welcome it.

It’s time for them to get fired up and ready to go.

An outside agency will conduct a thorough review of Rochester Animal Services’s operation. RAS operates a shelter on Verona Street, which takes in roughly 6,200 animals every year. FILE PHOTO ANIMALS | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

Rochester to review animal care Rochester Animal Services is getting a top to bottom review not because there’s anything wrong, officials say, but because they want to make sure the organization is operating as efficiently as possible.

City Hall has been shopping for an independent expert to do the review. The deadline to submit proposals was Friday, June 29.

The RAS was involved in a couple of controversies last summer.

Two dogs died in the organization’s care, and in a separate incident, a pit bull was mistakenly euthanized.

RAS is part of the Rochester Police Department. Deputy Chief Michael Ciminelli says

no one on the RPD has the appropriate background or skills to do the review, and that’s why an independent expert is needed.

The evaluation will look at the organization’s polices, practices, procedures, and facilities. That will include many issues directly related to the animals in the care of RAS, including housing, handling, medical health and physical-well being, behavioral health and mental well-being, transport, spay and neutering, and euthanasia.

The RPD will review any recommendations made as a result of the review, Ciminelli says, and work with RAS on implementation.

Rochester Animal Services operates a shelter on Verona Street. The shelter takes in roughly 6,200 animals every year, mostly cats and dogs. But it does get the occasional chicken, exotic bird, hamster, and other animals.

The shelter “released” 22.6 percent of its dogs and 28.4 percent of its cats over the last year. Releases are adoptions, returns to owners, and transfers to rescue groups and other places, says Chris Fitzgerald, the city’s director of animal services.

The shelter euthanized 1,556 dogs and 1,464 cats over the last year. That’s about half the dogs and cats that RAS took in.

Tackling truancy

MCC trial balloon

The Rochester school district is gearing up to launch a comprehensive approach to combat truancy this fall. The approach would include the district, the City of Rochester, county social services, the Rochester Police Department, and Family Court, says Rochester Mayor Tom Richards.

The details of the program are being kept under wraps, but Richards says the approach has shown success in at least one other school district in New York State.

“Our hope is that we can transport it here without a hell of a lot of redesign work,” he says.

Chronic truancy is a serious problem for the Rochester school district. Thousands of students are out of school without explanation every day, with the most absences occurring in kindergarten.

That’s why the new program will initially focus on the elementary schools, Richards says. Truancy is obviously a problem at the secondary level as well, but to make a real cultural shift, you have to get to the children and the families early, he says.

“The feeling here — and there’s a lot of research to support this — is you can predict on the basis of the behavior that develops in elementary school, the kind of behavior you’re going to have in high

school,” Richards says. “And it’s a heck of a lot easier to deal with it,” he says, if you start in elementary school.

The new program will have three phases.

The first is to improve the way the district records attendance, Richards says.

The second step is acting on that data.

“That’s where we come in, the school district comes in, social services to some extent comes in,” Richards says. “What do we do?”

The third step is enforcement, and that could mean using Family Court to compel parents to get their children to school.

“It’s kind of a last resort, but as a parent, you’re supposed to take your kid to school,” he says. “That really would only be necessary if there was something about the family structure that was out of whack.”

HISTORY | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

New life for Seneca language The Seneca Indians have lived in the Western New York region for thousands of years. They were one of the most important nations of the Iroquois League and created a highly developed society, says Jason Younker, a professor of anthropology at the Rochester Institute of Technology.

But few of the Seneca people living today are fluent in their native language, and the language is in danger becoming extinct, Younker says.

Younker, a member of the Coquille tribe, helped get a federal grant to partner RIT with the Seneca Nation to develop a user-friendly, web-based dictionary or guide to the Seneca language.

“This is not an archival project,” Younker says. “We’re trying to make sure the language grows, that it doesn’t die out.”

But the project, called the Seneca Language Revitalization Program, isn’t going to be easy, and it will take years to complete.

“The Seneca language is extremely complex,” says Robbie Jimerson, an RIT graduate student in computer science.

Jimerson, a Seneca who lives on the Cattaraugus Indian Reservation outside Buffalo, is helping build the dictionary.

He doesn’t speak the language fluently, however, so he enlists the help of linguists and, in some instances, elder family members.

The challenge is that the Seneca language is more of a verb-based way of communicating. And a single word can have multiple meanings, depending on how it’s used.

“The word ‘running’ for example, has nine different ways of speaking it,” Younker says. “Running away, running with something, and running in a direction are all spoken differently.”

And the project has to take into account that every language evolves with time, Younker says. Similar to European languages, the words the Seneca used 1,000 years ago, or even 200 years ago, are often used differently today.

The project is important for several reasons, Younker says. It will help future generations learn and use the language, but it will also help preserve the Seneca culture and the Native American tradition of communicating through story telling, he says.

The Seneca were fortunate to be able to Americans],” Younker says. “And that’s the preserve their language as well as they did, importance of language and oral histories.

Jason Younker says. There are more than Native Americans know you can rip up a 550 federally recognized tribes across the US piece of paper. But if you say you’re going and each had their own language. But many to do something, it exists in someone’s Native Americans lost their languages as they memory. It doesn’t go away.” were moved to reservations or assimilated into US society.

Language that becomes extinct or close to extinct is often an indication of a people’s history, Younker says.

It’s not an indictment of the Native American people; it’s more of a testimonial to their survival, he says.

“When Native American people were sent to the reservations, they were often told not to speak their language,” Younker says. The mistake was thinking that getting rid of the languages would also get rid of the cultures, he says.

“There is a very deep cultural understanding Jason Younker, associate anthropology professor at RIT, says the Seneca of what your word Nation of Indians is fortunate that its language is still spoken at all. means [to Native PHOTO BY MIKE HANLON

MCC: Afghanistan campus?

Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks recently met with the Democrat and Chronicle editorial board, and board members Tweeted choice nuggets throughout the meeting, including what they say Brooks said about MCC’s downtown campus. The gist: If the project stays on its current course, it is likely doomed to failure, and that would throw the entire existence of a downtown campus into doubt.

Citing mainly safety concerns, the MCC board wants to move the college to Kodak’s State Street site. Brooks supports City

that decision. But Richards wants MCC to stay at the Sibley Building as part of the revitalization of downtown.

Richards wasn’t happy when he heard about the county executive’s remarks to the D and C. MCC belongs in the heart of downtown, he said, and it’s outrageous to suggest that if the college’s board doesn’t get its way, it’s game over for the downtown campus.

“I don’t know how this conversation got here,” Richards said. “I really don’t. The idea that, ‘if we don’t get our way and we

don’t get to go to Kodak, we’re going to take our dolls and go home to Brighton’: Give me a break.”

City students often have limited choices when it comes to higher education, Richards said, and many wouldn’t be able to get to MCC’s Brighton campus. MCC has an obligation to educate these young people, he said.

“I’m sorry if it’s hard,” he said, “because it is. I’m sorry if it’s inconvenient — because it is. But it’s part of their job.

The idea that they can somehow isolate themselves [and] that they shouldn’t be part

of the milieu in which these kids operate is a little offensive.”

“They act as though this is a school in Afghanistan and they were doing us a favor: some kind of foreign policy thing,” Richards said. “It’s not a foreign policy thing. Is it harder? Hell, yeah, it’s harder. That’s the job.

You’ve got to cope, you know?”

MCC recently signed a new lease to stay in Sibley for the next five years, but the Monroe County Legislature is scheduled to vote on borrowing for the move later this year.

There’s something kind of sexy about descending into a restaurant without windows; time just seems to stop, and you could be anywhere in the world. So if you find yourself at the East End’s newest eatery, Victoire, order one of the eight beautifully presented preparations of moules et frites (a/k/a mussels and fries) ranging from classic Marinières to a Thai take, and then spend some time with an informative list of beers that might have you believing you’re on vacation in Belgium.

Victoire, which opened at the end of last month in the Rochester Club Centre, bills itself as a Belgian beer bar, and everything — from the warm wood interior to the lower-level outdoor seating to the soccer on TV to Chef Ryan Dalton’s food offerings — supports that claim. Sure, you can get a salad or a burger, but the menu’s true stand-outs are classic Belgian dishes like Flemish onion soup, duck-fat fries, as well as the hearty beef-and-beer stew known as carbonnade. And while fans of the brewing arts will likely be impressed with the beer program, those who don’t know their Dubbels from their Tripels can find all the guidance they could want in Victoire’s enlightening beer menu.

Victoire is located at 120 East Ave. It is open daily 11 a.m.-2 a.m. Food prices range from $5 to $21. For more information, call 325-3663

On the waterfront

With the downtown skyline sparkling to the north and the Ford Street Bridge spanning the Genesee to the south, the view from the river side of Corn Hill Landing is positively stunning.

Chef John Green is enjoying this panorama from the Tap & Table patio while he can. Set to open any day now, Tap & Table will soon be in full swing, putting Green at the head of a kitchen that serves lunch six days a week and dinner all seven. But after six-plus years as executive chef at the RIT Inn & Conference Center, Green is used to feeding a crowd, and he’s ready: “It isn’t just what I do; it’s who I am.”

Tap & Table is the latest venture from Joe McBane and Casey Walpert, partners in the South Wedge’s Tap & Mallet. The new restaurant — it’s in the site that once housed Virtu — is a handsome, multi-level space anchored by a sprawling 60-foot teak bar that will feature an epic beer selection in the Tap & Mallet tradition, as well as craft cocktails.

And Green reports that the menu is “nothing too fancy; just American comfort food, with a little pub fare.”

Much of Green’s time leading up to Tap & Table’s debut has been spent seeking out the best suppliers of local and sustainable ingredients for an ever-evolving menu that he says will reflect the abundance of any given season. His flatbread pizza, for instance, will initially be topped with

Medics, M u s e s, M u r a l s Wall Therapy for Rochester & beyond [ ART FEATURE ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

If you’ve taken North Union Street on your way to the Rochester Public Market since last July, it’s possible that you’ve noticed the beautiful, serene girl hanging out under the railroad overpass. Her eyes are lowered and she won’t return your gaze, but even the wheeling sparrows adore her, and trail her from a distance. Opposite from this young girl is an undulating dragon with a fierce face and grasping claws, but the graceful girl is undisturbed. These images were painted by South Africa-based street artists Faith47 and DALeast. Both will return later this month to adorn more of Rochester’s walls with their work as part of a larger project, called Wall Therapy.

Last year’s set of stunning murals, which includes a long, colorful, collaborative painting on Troup Street by Faith47, DALeast, South Africa-based FreddySam, and Rochester-based artists including members of FUA Krew, are meant to inspire residents of this city to work toward their full potential. The murals do this with empowering imagery and plays on words, including “community, common unity.”

“I have a vision of making Rochester a destination city for this kind of inspired mural art,” says Ian Wilson, the man behind Wall Therapy and a radiologist at University of Rochester Medical Center. “We have essentially a blank canvas in a city that has some amazing walls, and amazing vistas that many artists who are world renowned would be happy to paint.

We have tremendous amenities and natural beauty,” he says. However, here in the “image capital of the world, imagery is lacking. We need more imagery in the Image City,” he says.

Last year, Wall Therapy organized murals created by South Africa- and Rochester-based artists in three locations: on a wall along Troup Street Park, at the aforementioned North Union site, and on buildings at the corner of Main and Richmond streets. This year, Wall Therapy has grown to attract nine international artists, including big names in street art such as Belgium-based ROA and UK-based Ben Eine. The artists will be in town to paint July 20-28. The public will have the chance to see them work and interact with them, and to support the project through participation in fundraisers and other events.

Wall Therapy was founded and is curated

by Wilson, and serves as a partner project 10 City JULY 4-10, 2012

for his non-profit organization, Synthesis Collaborative, which seeks to improve the health status of communities in the developing world by providing them with basic radiology services, using teleradiology and cloud-computing technologies. The company was founded in 2010 with Jason Fair, who Wilson met when he was in the midst of radiology training and Fair was in medical-device sales. Both were looking for a way to do philanthropic medical work.

Synthesis Collaborative seeks to install digital x-ray equipment in various locations in the developing world, and connect those communities with a growing global network of volunteer radiologists. Those radiologists will assist in interpreting the x-rays remotely, then send their findings back so that care can be rendered to patients. Synthesis aims to begin work in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, by the end of the year. It is in the process of raising funds for equipment, travel, and other considerations; the goal is to secure $200,000 to $250,000, and $50,000 has been raised so far. Funds that Synthesis Collaborative raises will be matched by partner organization The Hope Foundation for Women & Children in Bangladesh.

Haiti is also on the organization’s radar, and was actually the location that initially sparked the entire project. Wilson was approached by Dr. Kevin Fiscella, the medical director of H.O.P.E. Haiti, a Rochester-based philanthropic organization that supports a heath-care system in Borgne, Haiti. Fiscella wanted to bring teleradiology technology to the island country, and Wilson began to create a system based on existing components, figuring out how to implement it on a philanthropic basis. The project’s progress in Haiti was put on hold due to a cholera epidemic, but Synthesis Collaborative is planning to return to the nation after it is set up in Bangladesh, and other locations will follow.

Other radiologists involved with Synthesis Collaborative hail from the United Arab Emirates, Japan, the United Kingdom, and Singapore, and are committed to volunteering their professional services to a philanthropic endeavor. At present the network is largely made up of independent individuals, but medical and academic institutions are increasingly expressing “a tremendous outpouring of enthusiasm,” says Wilson, and

an interest in becoming involved as the project grows.

Wilson knows that healthy

communities need more than medical services to thrive, and his independent initiative, Wall Therapy, seeks to give developing communities a booster shot of inspiration. He has already started this work by facilitating the creation of world-class mural art here in Rochester, and will do the same in the communities touched by Synthesis Collaborative.

“One thing that murals can do is provide a message in an enduring way,” he says of the positive-message imagery that debuted last year [see sidebar on opposite page for a full list of existing Wall Therapy murals]. The murals “can inspire on a perpetual basis.

The idea behind the project last year was to inspire the Two of the 2011 Wall Therapy murals by FreddySam, located on youth in the community Richmond Street.

Because so many really don’t have Wall Therapy website. any belief in anything, whether it’s the value “This year, the idea is extrapolated into of their own life, or their future. A lot of times a wider audience,” says Wilson. “The idea those ideas, or concepts, are nonexistent. So is to inspire this community more than it is imagine a child or teenager with no direction at present, to endeavor to get Rochester to or belief in something, no value in their own achieve its potential. This city is poised to life — or they value someone else’s more than assume a larger role on the world stage, but I theirs. I wanted to produce something that think it takes initiatives like this to inject some spoke to them specifically, to charge them to passion into the community to achieve that.” believe in something.”

city can support ideas that will result in a better community.”

Though the artists Wilson works with have their roots in street art and use spray paint, Wilson is careful to point out that Wall Therapy’s endeavors can’t really be classified as graffiti. For one, permission is sought for the murals from property owners, and Wilson says he is seeing a steady increase in enthusiasm from those who recognize the opportunity to enhance their buildings with artwork.

In the cases where property owners initially balk, they are typically concerned with the content of the potential art, Wilson says. But when he shows them examples of work created by the participating artists in locations around world, most appreciate the quality and content, and permission is usually granted. “The merits of what we’re doing are being realized by some key people in the city,” he says. For example, Wilson was recently granted some walls to work with in the St. Paul corridor by property owner Dan Morgenstern.

It’s not easy to break into the jet-set street-art

community, and it helps to have a friend on the “inside.” Wilson’s first contact with artists for this project was through Venice, Italy-based street artist Peeta, whose work can be viewed at

the North Clinton site of the BBoy BBQ, local street-art group FUA Krew’s annual live muralpainting event. Wilson began corresponding with Peeta about the artist’s work in 2006, and the two met during a short trip to Milan in the fall of 2009. Wilson commissioned Peeta to create a piece for his then-unborn daughter.

“I asked him to conceptualize and interpret a child’s dream, which he did masterfully,” says Wilson. Last summer, Peeta stayed with Wilson’s family for the week of BBoy BBQ. Peeta connected Wilson to Faith47; she introduced him to a community of creative individuals in South Africa who came to Rochester in July 2011 for last year’s Wall Therapy project. As a result of that experience, the artists connected Wilson with more artists from their world network and garnered support for this year’s edition.

London-based urban-art dealer Frankie Shea has also championed the project abroad, and connected Wilson to German artist Case, whom Shea represents.

The robust roster of artists this year will begin work in late July. The Public Market — with a particular focus on the walls along Pennsylvania Avenue — will be the epicenter, with satellite locations including a wall in the East End owned by the Little Theatre, the St.

Paul walls, and more “Easter egg” murals for Rochesterians to seek out.

The theme for this year’s installment of Wall Therapy is “inspiration,” says Wilson. “As the curator of this project, I didn’t want to be overly proscriptive in terms of what the artists created, but I gave them an idea to work around: how would you inspire a community in need of inspiration?”

Returning this year are the now-married, South Africa-based, Faith47 and DALeast, “a husband-and-wife team who will be reprising their roles as cultural ambassadors with Wall Therapy,” says Wilson. Faith47’s diverse subject matter ranges from realistic or stylized figures that speak of quiet power and serenity, to calligraphic script, and are often touched by some sacred element or theme.

DALeast’s grayscale menageries of animals are built from energetic, skillful spray strokes that create forms which only barely resist entropy, and the combined use of highlights and drop shadows make the beasts seem ready to leap from the very walls.

New to the project this year will be Spanishborn, Germany-raised identical twin duo HowNosm, with their red, white, and black palette and nuanced, worlds-within-worlds imagery; Queens-based Cern, with his playfully bizarre imagery and surreal style; Spanish-born Liqen, whose illustrative line work ranges from the complex to the relatively pared down; and San Francisco-based Siloette, who excels in painting vibrantly hued women’s faces, feathers, flowers, and kinetic abstractions.

Also joining this year are Belgian artist ROA, whose black-and-white portraits of animals are studies in life and death, and Ben Eine of the United Kingdom, whose love of letters has led him to paint beautifully colored and patterned, large-scale typography on buildings around the world. His works are often just letters, but at times, they can get viewers thinking with pointed word play. Germany-based Case of the world-renowned Ma’Claim Crew will also join the project, bringing his skill with photorealistic fragments of figures and animals.

Case “got us product support from [German spray-paint company] Montana, which was

key,” says Wilson. (In exchange for their services, participating artists will receive an honorarium.)

Rochester-based artists will also again participate in the mural-making. “There will always be local artists involved in any project we do here,” says Wilson, who selected Mr. Prvrt, Thievin’ Stephen, and St. Monci for this year’s installment. “Their involvement in this project is integral to our community work because they are from here. They have a certain aesthetic sensibility that is known in this community and I want the world to witness their talent,” Wilson says.

Mr. Prvrt is known in Rochester and beyond for his intricate stencil work and is both a member of FUA Krew and The Sweet Meat Co. Also a stencil artist, Thievin’ Stephen’s work can be seen in various neighborhoods in Rochester, and he’s also known for his musical work as a producer, as well as his work as curator of art and music shows as The Lobby. St. Monci has developed a unique freestyle of gestural and colorful abstractions that are unmistakably his, and he’s also a member of The Sweet Meat Co. In addition to local artists, Philip J.

Cichanowicz IV will reprise his role as documentary filmmaker for this year’s edition of Wall Therapy, and Wilson has also tapped local photographers and local musician Mikaela Davis to incorporate and highlight her talents as well.

There will also be a particularly innovative, interactive aspect to the 2012 Wall Therapy project. The group was taken on as pro-bono clients by Partners + Napier, an award-winning creative-ideas agency. One of the ideas being developed is a book that will document the project in printed form, but which will contain links to additional digital content. Wilson explained the projected use of an application for smart phones that would allow the images, either in print or on the walls, to serve as the link to bonus digital content relating to the art.

“So a page in the book would also have a complementary featurette about the image that’s printed in the book,” Wilson says. “Or the mural would have a complementary short continued on page 18 rochestercitynewspaper.com City 11

Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers put on a simply amazing show full

[ DEATH-CORE ] After changing its name, as well as

darkening its genre, the band now known as King Conquer began to cultivate a strong local fan base in its hometown of Naples, Florida, on the strength of two self-released EPs and a slew of sweaty shows.

The band’s first full-length album, 2010’s “America’s Most Haunted,” along with its signing to Mediaskare Records, has helped widen the group’s appeal. These ruthlessly royal rockers blend surprisingly savvy and technical musical chops with violent and visceral vocals, resulting in a sound scary enough to bring followers to their knees. — BY DAVID YOCKEL, JR.

of humor and instrumental dexterity. And both the laughs and musical prowess helped to give the sold-out Kodak Hall crowd at the band’s matinee on Wednesday, June 27, a crash course in bluegrass.

Purists may balk — and I’m inclined to agree somewhat — but Martin and the band played music beyond bluegrass.

I credit Martin’s compositions, as he interjected a little more melody than the genre typically offers. That was tied together with the smoothly (and sometimes savagely) bowed strokes of fiddle player Nicky Sanders sawing away amidst the rest of the band’s percussive plunk and twang. Martin’s between-song banter was hilarious and, frankly, I didn’t want the show to end. (FD)

You have certain expectations when a band has the word “hellraisers” in its title.

Dwayne Dopsie & The Zydeco Hellraisers

came out jamming on the Big Tent stage Thursday night, but with accordionist and front man Dopsie nowhere to be seen.

His saxophonist jumped right into the crowd, getting the partying and dancing started as the rest of the band worked to pump things up. Electric guitar blaring,

washboard rocking up and down, metal clicking and clanking.

Then Dopsie walked — no, pranced — out on stage, picked up the accordion, and started blowing the crowd’s faces off, one at a time. He didn’t raise Hell, he strode into it, kicked out Beelzebub, tore the place down, and rebuilt it as an altar to sweaty, zydeco-fueled rock parties made from the underworld’s ashes. And he did it all while chewing gum. (WC) Friday night at Christ Church the Orlando LeFleming Trio put on the most subtle show I saw at the festival. The sad thing is, by day eight, a lot of people were jaded by too much impressive music and the attitude seemed to be “show me something new.” So, during this beautiful set, three quarters of the audience left.

On guitar was Lage Lund, whose sound is absolutely wondrous. And on saxophone was Will Vinson, another great young player. On tunes like “Dear Lord,” one of John Coltrane’s most beautiful ballads, Lund’s gorgeous playing, Vinson’s sinuous sound, and LeFleming’s sturdy anchoring made for a dream-like sound in a perfect setting. Too bad people didn’t have the patience for it. (RN)

they are heard as they take shape, that fans be able to hear the songs’ progress. The evolving nature of the project is part of the appeal to both members. “It’s kind of cool that anyone can tune in,” says Egling.

Proper agrees. “I like the idea that people can see the songwriting process. This isn’t going to be the finished product; this is how people write songs. It’s not always perfect.”

But even though the duo is fond of putting its process on display, that doesn’t mean the songs are slapped together haphazardly. Egling explains that, despite the songs’ demo status, he still wants the songs to sound good. “I try to make them sound as produced as I can,” he says.

As for now, there are no plans for the pair to

You Women was conceived in short bursts via text message, with snippets of songs being sent back and forth by the two official members of the band, Ian Proper and Ian Egling, both from the Rochester band Sports. In You Women, the two share primary songwriting duties, each playing all instruments and singing on their own material, incorporating the other’s input to make the songs complete.

But despite You Women being named after one of their other band’s songs, Proper is quick to dismiss any comparisons between the two projects. “People come to see Sports because they want to dance and have fun,” says Proper.

“If we played a slow, noisy track everyone would leave the room.” Conversely, with You Women, the pair is branching out from the sound it has become known for with Sports. “This allows us to be a little more schizophrenic. There’s no certain style. There’s no expectation.”

That professed schizophrenia is demonstrated in the diverse cast of talent the pair has assembled to record the band’s first album at Victrolaphone Studios, run by Amos Rose from Walri. Having enlisted the 14 City JULY 4-10, 2012

likes of Matt O’Brian from local reggae outfit Thunder Body, Travis Johansen from Joywave, and Sasami Ashworth, a classically trained student from the Eastman School of Music, it’s clear that You Women wants its project to be more of a communal one, in contrast with the more conventional lineup of Sports.

“We want those musicians to take (our songs) and put their own spin on them. There are no boundaries,” says Proper.

You Women, as a project, works in an opposite way when compared with Sports’ more developed, well-thought-out sound, and Proper wants to allow the other musicians to take part in that freedom. “The idea of us being able to do different stuff is the idea I want to extend to these other musicians.

They’re all in bands that are in straightforward genres. I want to get these people in weird circumstances and see what happens.”

Before that recording can take place,

however, Proper wanted to have a full-length album ready, to use as a starting point for the individuals that work with them on the recording. Gathered together on the You Women Bandcamp page, the 14 songs that are the most complete are freely available for download under the title of “Easy Love.”

Even though the songs are incomplete, it’s important to both Egling and Proper that

play live. “The idea was a recording project, so now we have to get the other musicians in and see what works. Once the recordings are done we’ll be able to figure out the live stuff,” says Proper.

But despite the lack of concrete plans to perform, that doesn’t mean that the pair isn’t thinking about it. “I’m thinking how we could play this live, even just what we have now,” says Egling. “It’s a challenge. I’m always trying to figure out how to do what I do at home live, and make it sound comparable.”

“I’m a big proponent of the James Murphy [of LCD Soundsystem] philosophy that if you play something electronically, you should be able to play it live — without electronics,” says Proper. “When I see an Apple logo onstage, I’m turned off. I like the mistakes and the live aspect. So, if we’re going to play, all those parts that we did electronically would have to be played live.”

When asked about a time frame for the album release, Proper mentions August, but Egling contends that that ETA is as flexible as the songs the pair has made available. “But that doesn’t mean it’s not going to happen,” Proper says. The two musicians are happy to let the project develop on its own schedule.

Even though there is a definite separation between You Women and Sports, the two projects are forever linked. The two are a study in contrasts, with the meticulous process of Sports on one hand, and the unrestricted development of You Women on the other. Not unlike the project’s conception, You Women has an air of the ephemeral to it. It’s not difficult to envision it as a constant work in progress, ever evolving, even after the pair releases its finished album later this summer.

AMERICANA | Hindu Cowboys

The Hindu Cowboys’ music is straight-up Americana with a retro-country flair all stripped down to its essence of string bass, fiddle, jangly guitar, and lead singer Joseph Martens’ unmistakable twang. Its songbook rings true to performers like George Jones, Calexico, and The Mavericks, although the quintet is not opposed to throwing in covers from groups including Outkast and Pink Floyd. Established in 1998, the Florida band is a perennial favorite among voters at the Orlando music awards, earning several first-place honors in the country/bluegrass category. If it’s good enough for those folks, it’s good enough for me.

POP/ROCK | Barenaked Ladies

Touring on the back of its most recent album — a compilation of rare songs from the band’s first 11 years entitled “Stop Us If You’ve Heard This One Before” — Barenaked Ladies will make its seemingly annual stop in the Western New York area this weekend with the “Last Summer on Earth Party.” Known for lively stage banter and an improvisational style in a live setting, the Canadian foursome first became known to wider American audiences after its inclusion on the soundtrack to “Friends” in the mid-1990’s.Despite some recent changes to the band’s line-up, it continues to tour extensively, plying its playful poprock. Mid-90’s stalwarts Blues Traveler, Big Head Todd & The Monsters, and Cracker round out the bill.

Electric “Avenue” “Avenue Q” Through July 21 Geva Theatre Center, 75 Woodbury Blvd.

Tickets start at $25 | 232-4382, gevatheatre.org [ REVIEW ] BY ERIC REZSNYAK

“Avenue Q” swept the three major musical categories at the 2004 Tony Awards (Best Musical, Best Book, Best Score), and deservedly so. It is one of a string of recent shows that prove that the American musical is still an art form with lots to offer audiences, and not just a money-making opportunity for entertaining but predictable stage adaptations of hit films.

The show is not for everyone (and most definitely not for young children).

The frequent cursing, songs that embrace casual racism and pornography, and vigorous puppet sex call for a, shall we say, more open-minded audience (and indeed, the opening-night audience

skewed much younger than a typical Geva show). But “Avenue Q” is more than its outrageous, attention-baiting trappings.

Underneath all the puppet fur and sex talk is a well-written, well-acted show filled with great songs. It is both hilarious and surprisingly moving, and offers an honest and very entertaining portrait of that scary transition into adulthood.

“Avenue Q” is often described as “Sesame Street” for adults, and that’s about as succinct a description as you’re like to get. A mix of humans, puppet monsters, and puppet humans live in a crappy neighborhood on the outskirts of New York City. Together the group tries to navigate the tricky realities of modern love, employment, money, and the overall purpose of life. Oh, and the superintendent of the building most of them live in is Gary Coleman, the former child actor from “Diff ’rent Strokes,” here played by a woman.

The gang frequently bursts out into super-catchy musical numbers — as you do, if you live in New York City — and educational video bits occasionally play on

the on-stage monitors to underscore various “lessons,” like the difference between six nightstands and a one-night stand.

Local audiences may have caught

“Avenue Q” when the Rochester Broadway Theatre League brought the show to the Auditorium Theatre a few years back. The show remains basically the same — there have been minor tweaks to the script since the 2010 death of Coleman, and there’s a more current political reference in the closing song “For Now.” (On opening night, at least, an entire verse was also dropped from the song “Schadenfreude,” for some reason.)

But fans of the RBTL production will find some interesting benefits by seeing it at Geva.

Chief among them is that the difference in venue sizes means that this show feels much more intimate.

The audience gets a better chance to see the work the actors put not only into operating their many puppet characters, but also their own body language and facial expressions, which reflect what

their felt avatars are experiencing. It’s fascinating to shift focus from puppet to actor and back again, and it underscores the incredible concentration required for what is essentially a simultaneously dual (and in some cases triple) performance. Additionally, there are little details — like singing rats popping out of the side of a building during one song — that you might not have caught had you seen the performance in a larger space.

The cast of the show lives up to the play’s high standards, with everyone contributing a good-or-better performance. Standouts include Morgan West, who is solid in his primary role of Princeton, but really excels in the supporting role of closeted gay puppet Rod. There’s a moment when West, as Rod, plays silently to the audience after the song “My Girlfriend, Who Lives in Canada” that is funnier than it has any right to be. As Kate Monster/Lucy the Slut, Jessica Albon puts her exceptional voice and charming presence to great use. Kako Kitano is fantastic as the ethnic-stereotype role Christmas Eve (she absolutely kills it on “The More You Ruv Someone”), and Jared Hagan brings lots of personality to Nicky, Trekkie Monster, and one-half of my personal favorites, the Bad Idea Bears.

On opening night the excellent band, led by Don Kott, did slightly overpower the cast in some of the uptempo numbers. And the static set by Ryan McGettigan doesn’t effectively convey different locations. The primary solution of pull-down shades with alternate backgrounds is too subtle, and I’m not convinced they were consistently deployed opening night.

The scenic disconnect was especially problematic at the beginning of Act 2, which is supposed to be set in Princeton’s trash-covered apartment, but which simply looked like the character was hanging out in piles of garbage placed all over the building’s stoop and the street. That made the subsequent song “There Is Life Outside Your Apartment” seem redundant.

But these are minor quibbles. Geva’s production of “Avenue Q” is as fresh and exciting as it should be, and when leaving the theater I overheard multiple people (again, most of them young) singing or humming songs from the show. That’s precisely what you want out of a night at a musical. rochestercitynewspaper.com City 17

film related to, perhaps, the creation of that mural, time-lapse or otherwise.” Wilson will be present the interactive element of the mural project when he speaks about Wall Therapy at Living Walls, The City Speaks, an annual conference on street art and urbanism held in Atlanta each August since 2010.

Next year, Wall Therapy plans to create murals along the El Camino Trail, which is being developed cooperatively by the Genesee Land Trust and the city. That project will begin this year with mural painting on the Avenue D Recreation Center. “We have years of walls in Rochester,” says Wilson, who intends for Wall Therapy to be an annual endeavor.

“I’m often asked, ‘What’s the connection between the mural art and the medical philanthropy?’ And the common thread is imagery,” says Wilson. “X-ray images are a form of imagery which facilitates the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Mural art is imagery which can potentially enhance the life experience. So where medical work aims to preserve life, the mural art can enhance life.”

The initiatives that Synthesis Collaborative aims to bring to the developing world will be two-tiered, Wilson says: the deployment and installation of medical equipment, and the installation of murals in those communities. “Both interventions have the net effect of improving the quality of life. At least, that’s what we sincerely strive to achieve,” Wilson says.

City Newspaper plans to document the 2012 Wall Therapy project online via blogs and photos. Check rochestercitynewspaper. com later this month, Like City Newspaper on Facebook, or follow @roccitynews for updates.

For more information on the Wall Therapy project visit wall-therapy.com or follow @walltherapyny on Twitter. A fundraiser for the project will take place Saturday, July 14, 2-10 p.m. at Roc Brewing Co., 56 S. Union St. For more information visit the website.

ART | New Art Openings

If you can bear going indoors for a little while this week, check out the following art openings, which are just some of the many offered on First Friday and other nights this month.

For more information on art openings, visit our calendar at rochestercitynewspaper.com and don’t forget to check firstfridayrochester.org.

Right in time for Rochester Pride 2012 events, Thomas Somerville will debut “Proud,” new works at The Gallery @ Equal=Grounds (750 South Ave.). “I tried to put together a body of work that talks about the things that give me a sense of pride,” says the artist in a provided statement. Somerville used a rainbow palette for the works that are “not intrinsically gay,” he says, but are pieces that together create his identity and worldview seen through a gay perspective. The show opens Friday, July 6, 7-9 p.m., and continues through the month of July. For info, email gallery@equalgrounds.com.

Also opening Friday night is an exhibit of works by Harlem Girls Quilting Circle, which explores the traditions of quilting in the African diaspora through brightly patterned textiles that symbolize themes of family, history, and spirituality. What began as a one-day workshop evolved into a kind of needlecraft sisterhood. The show opens 6 p.m. at The Baobab Cultural Center (728 University Ave.), and a reception for the artists will be held the following Friday, July 13, at 6 p.m. For more information or to RSVP call 563-2145, or visit thebaobab.com.

On Monday, July 9, drop by The Owl House (75 Marshall St.) for an opening reception for Carla Bartow’s new works of art.

The restaurant will be closed so you can get up close and fully appreciate the colorful new works, many of which are painted on discarded windowpanes. Here, a diver plunges into the deep amid pillowy jellyfish (pictured). There, a T-Rex passes by. The reception takes place 6-9 p.m. For info and to preview some works, visit carlasswanktank.blogspot.com.

The new direction in female movies [ REVIEW ] by george grella

“Magic Mike” (R), directed by Steven Soderbergh Now playing

If nothing else, “Magic Mike,” the new movie from Steven Soderbergh, of all people, suggests that in our time the chick flick demonstrates more flexibility than one might ordinarily expect. Appropriately thin in its plot and completely predictable in its resolution, like both film versions of “Sex and the City,” the film dedicates itself to female sexuality; it deals with the subject, however, from an entirely different point of view, reversing some of

the stereotypes of the form. Mirroring the complaints of so many feminists, it shows men exploited as sex objects, with the difference that the males in question appear to appreciate the exploitation.

Channing Tatum plays the Mike of the title, the featured dancer at Club Xquisite, a male strip joint in Tampa, Florida, owned by a supremely sleazy manipulator named Dallas (Matthew McConaughey). Although he makes good money as a stripper, Mike also works at other jobs, including roofing, but thinks of himself as an entrepreneur — he dreams of owning his own business as a custom furniture maker, an odd touch. Not surprisingly, he also enjoys a certain success with the opposite sex: we first see him waking up, naked, with a couple of female companions similarly clothed.

In his roofing job, Mike meets and befriends Adam (Alex Pettyfer), a naive and feckless college dropout, and persuades Dallas to give the kid some kind of job at Club Xquisite. When one of the strippers

apparently ingests a few too many drugs, Dallas throws Adam into the breach; though no dancer, the good-looking, muscular lad manages to take off his clothes convincingly enough and attract the loud appreciation of the all-female audience. Anyone who’s ever seen any showbiz flick knows that Adam, tutored in bumps and grinds by the overbearing Dallas, will of course ascend from anonymity to his own kind of stardom with all the perks the position commands — money, women, drugs, etc.

One of the problems with the script of “Magic Mike” derives from its apparent confusion over just which character, Mike or Adam, should occupy the center of attention.

The writer and director initially seem to trace the venerable parabola of a performer’s meteoric rise and fall, the usual cautionary tale of a talent destroyed by its own success. At some point, however, they lose interest in Adam (no wonder — he’s a passive dope) and return to their title character, showing Mike’s entirely serious attempts to turn his earnings into the achievement of his dreams.

Amid all that relatively nonsensical matter, a slender and quite unconvincing love story develops, the growing relationship between Mike and Adam’s sister Brooke (Cody Horn).

A dour, disapproving observer of her brother’s career, Brooke hardly seems Mike’s type, but the series of hostile remarks she aims at him signals something like a happy outcome. Cody Horn DISCOVER THE AUTHENTIC FLAVORS OF MEXICO!

Inside the 2012 RJFF [ pREVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO

JCC Ames-Amzalak Rochester Jewish Film Festival Sunday, July 8-Monday, July 16 461-2000, rjff.org

never cracks a smile, possibly indicating her discomfort at appearing in the movie.

The real object of “Magic Mike,” of course, is the constant display of a half dozen muscular young men in a series of dance numbers intended to excite an audience of screaming females, both on- and off-screen. The men appear in a variety of costumes in a several different set pieces — they dress in trench coats and fedoras like shady private eyes, in sailor suits, Tarzan loincloths, construction outfits, cowboy chaps, police uniforms, etc. They jump around, strip down to thongs and jock straps, select women from the shrieking throng to join them on the stage, simulate several quite athletic sexual positions, and collect hundreds of dollar bills that the happy ladies stuff into what’s left of their clothing.

Surely pleasing the intended audience, the dancers all display a good deal of muscular flesh, the usual bulging biceps and sixpack abs, along with the bare buttocks that always inspire louder audience volume. Channing Tatum, who apparently began his career in the stripping business, seems most graceful and athletic for a big man, though in striking contrast, his acting technique leans toward the stolid and clumsy. The film hangs its weak plot and its unconvincing performances on the bodies of the dancers, ending up just about as naked, or in other words, quite inadequately covered in every way — it might even be better with some clothes on.

This year marks the 12th installment of the Rochester Jewish Film Festival and the first under the guidance of JCC cultural director Lori Michlin Harter. She and her tireless team have gathered together some of the planet’s best contemporary cinema — 23 features this time, both narrative and documentary — about the Jewish experience. Read on for a preview detailing a handful of selections from this year’s festival, then visit rjff.org or call 461-2000 for more information.

We’re not sure why the plane-crash survivor wearing a tattered concentration-camp uniform would bother to rescue the injured Nazi officer. Then Austrian director Wolfgang Murnberger’s engrossing thriller “My Best Enemy” quickly transports us back in time to pre-WWII Vienna to illustrate the longstanding friendship between Jewish art gallery scion Victor Kaufmann (Moritz Bleibtreu, Lola’s boyfriend in 1998’s “Run Lola Run”) and housekeeper’s son Rudi Smekal (Georg Friedrich). But their class disparity flips

with Hitler’s rise to power, and soon Rudi is using his insider knowledge about a rare Michelangelo sketch to sell out the Kaufmann family and boost his standing within the art-mad Third Reich. There’s a girl, of course, but the twisty film, despite its unambiguous vision of good and evil, remains surprisingly unpredictable.

(Monday, July 9, 8 p.m., Dryden Theatre) One of Israel’s top pop singers in the 1970’s, Svika Pick is enough of an icon in that country to have sparked a “Mamma Mia”-type musical based on his songs.

“Yossi and Jagger” director Eytan Fox’s “Mary Lou,” originally a four-part series on Israeli television, is narrated by Meir (Ido Rosenberg), a young man whose glamorous, loving mom abruptly walked out when he was 10 years old. After graduation Meir is a bit lost, though he soon finds a surrogate family in a gaggle of Tel Aviv drag queens.

His missing mother provides Meir with the inspiration to take the stage himself and perform the songs of her beloved idol, Pick. Yet while the tunes seem unbelievably cheesy (perhaps something was lost in the translation?) and the acting ranges from awful to awesome, “Mary Lou” is an enjoyably frothy confection about finding your own voice. (Saturday, July 14, 9 p.m., Dryden Theatre) The estranged “Brothers” in this Swiss production are Dan (Micha Celektar), shepherd on an Israeli kibbutz, and Aharon (Baruch Brener), Torah scholar and New York City lawyer (and sometime quoter of “noted thinker Woody Allen”). Aharon is in Jerusalem to defend the exemption of yeshiva students from military service and reconnect with Dan, who resents Aharon’s 25-year absence from his life. Director Igaal Niddam’s ambitious film attempts to combine the drama of familial discord with a courtroom piece exploring the hot-button issue of the separation of church and state, and, unfortunately, Niddam relies upon

some ill-advised melodrama to force the various resolutions. Still, the script’s wisdom remains undimmed, and the performances, especially from real-life rabbi Brener, shine.

(Sunday, July 15, 1 p.m., Dryden Theatre) A wildly broad comedy with a gooey center of redemption, David Zucker’s directing debut “The Yankles” stars Brian Wimmer (you may remember him from the late 80’s series “China Beach”) as Charlie Jones, a bitter ex-ballplayer whose alcohol-fueled descent leads to some community service.

And in one of those only-in-the-movies coincidences, Charlie’s former girlfriend’s brother needs a coach for his yeshiva college’s new baseball team. Cornball jokes abound and a few characters lack any real depth, but anyone who appreciates the sports flick genre will recognize this one: ragtag group of mostly non-athletic misfits (now with tzitzits and yarmulkes) finds unity and pride in America’s pastime, while their initially annoyed coach learns about selflessness and the freedom of an open mind. Oh, and Ralph Malph is in it!

(Sunday, July 15, 5 p.m., Dryden Theatre) RJFF 2012 closes with “Free Men,” a French spy drama inspired by the true story of Muslim Resistance fighters who sheltered Jews in Nazi-occupied Paris. The magnetic Tahar Rahim (from 2009’s stunning “A Prophet”) plays Younes, a blackmarketeering Algerian whose plans “to make my pile and go home” are derailed by legal trouble. Rather than jail, Younes opts for the hide-saving option of infiltrating a mosque suspected of aiding Jews in flight. The mosque’s director appears to be in bed with the Germans, but he’s played by the wily Michael Lonsdale (2010’s acclaimed “Of Gods and Men”), so we suspect all may not be not what it seems. Moroccan filmmaker Ismaël Ferroukhi weaves nail-biting close calls through an absorbing testament to those who refused to look the other way.

(Monday, July 16, 7 p.m., Dryden Theatre)

ROBOT MONSTER

Thursday, July 5, 8 p.m.

A gorilla suit, a diving helmet, stock footage dinosaurs, and a death ray. Over the course of four days in LA’s Bronson Canyon, Phil Tucker used every element at his disposal to create the first stereoscopic, stream-of-consciousness, sci-fi flick for kids. Stupendously rare in its original 3-D version, Robot Monster is a mind-boggling feat of DIY filmmaking. (Phil Tucker, US 1953, 62 min.)

DIAL M FOR MURDER Movies for movie lovers, 6 nights a week.

3-D

Friday, July 6, 8 p.m.

The classiest 3-D feature ever made, Dial M stars Ray Milland as a calculating husband plotting the demise of his unfaithful wife (played with precision by Grace Kelly). Hitchcock’s subtle yet effective use of the third dimension is only one of the many pleasures in this tale of premeditation and perfect crime, as the deadly game of cat and mouse is executed with the director’s characteristically ingenious employment of camera angles and props. (Alfred Hitchcock, US 1954, 105 min.)

A Cape with Character

Search. Buy. Sell.

Nestled at a scenic intersection, 135 Devon is a unique 1944 Cape Cod. Originally a traditional clapboard, in 1947, the builder and owner of the house refaced the facade with hand-cut Medina stone and stucco. Situated on a sprawling lawn and shaded by an old, sturdy maple, this home is charming and meticulously maintained.

Stepping into the front formal dining room, one is immediately struck by the multitude of windows that allow waves of sunlight to cascade into the room and reflect off the gleaming white oak floors. Still the original windows, the owner updated them via bi-glass conversion, a process where the original sash is removed from the frame so an artisan can rout out the old putty and glass to install new insulated glass. The result is state-of-the-art, energy-efficient windows that maintain the original interior muntins and look of the structure. These windows epitomize the care and attention to detail that the current owner brought to this home.

In the kitchen, one is greeted by brand new bamboo floors. The vintage cast iron sink sits among freshly painted cabinets. Off the kitchen is an updated washroom with a ceramic floor.

Like most Cape Cods, there is a first floor bedroom, which could also be used for an office. The spacious living room is dominated by a stunning wood-burning fireplace and more bi-glass windows. A brilliant sunroom, also featuring the restored windows, sits behind the living room, offering a panoramic view of the large, sunny yard.

The white oak staircase leading to the second floor is another example of how fastidiously the current owner has cared for this home. A staircase in disrepair was replaced with white oak stairs and a handcarved bannister that spills over the bottom newel post in an impressive tiger tail swirl.

Upstairs is a huge master bedroom with a spacious closet, a third large bedroom with two closets, and an updated bathroom, complete with a new pedestal sink.

Located in the 19th Ward, a culturally diverse and family-oriented neighborhood that boasts the city’s first and oldest neighborhood association (visit www.19wca. org to learn more), 135 Devon is within walking distance of the canal, Genesee Valley Park, the University of Rochester and Strong. If you don’t feel like walking, the home also has a two-car garage with a breezeway connection to the house.

This 1,548 square foot home has a large basement and a small attic for additional storage. The furnace is 12 years old and in excellent condition. 135 Devon is listed at $99,500. To learn more, contact Julie Holzbach at (585) 248-0250 or visit rochestercityliving. com/property/R186775.
