Pushing for $15

On our News Blog, “Fast Food Workers Strike for Higher Wages” (News Blog):

$15 is too high for a minimum wage. Fast food workers seem to work pretty hard for low wages, but that’s just how it is. The concept of a minimum wage has no real value other than as a talking point for politicians.

The law of worker supply and demand drives fast food hourly wages. If there is a shortage of workers, wages and benefits naturally rise. Why would someone make demands from an employer that they get paid more?

I’ve seen some great people leave a place for more money.

MIKE BRUTON

If you don’t like the pay, why not quit and get a better job that pays more?

MARK MCINTEE

Those receiving a pay raise undoubtedly benefit from the higher income. But what about those who lose their jobs when the employer automates or creates more self-service for the customer? Look at how many stores are moving to self checkout lines, which eliminates positions, just as tens of thousands of jobs were lost in the telecom industry when employment costs became higher than the cost of investment to automate.

MIKE

Perhaps we’re forgetting that Rochester is the fifth poorest city in the US (third, by some metrics). And given that the Rochester area unemployment rate is consistently about 1 percent lower than the national rate, that means the reason Rochester is poor is not because there aren’t jobs. It’s because the jobs like the 2 CITY

food industry are paying poverty wages, like the fast food industry.

As Americans, we’re also forgetting that the only way that we’ve ever succeeded in fighting poverty is through the kind of organizing that these workers are doing. Striking for better pay is as American as apple pie. And it’s also the best way to fight poverty in Rochester. These brave workers are leading the way toward an economy that works for all of us.

They’re heroes.

Studying cancer and its causes

Your report “Pinning Down Prostate Cancer” could have been written by big Pharma, the AMA, the HMOs, and/or the American Cancer Society. All stand to benefit from spooking the American public into ever-deeper health paranoia.

Nowhere in the article is it mentioned that most Western diseases, including cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and lung disease, are preventable and reversible without the use of “modern medicine.” It is our Western diet that is killing us.

“The China Study,” published in January 2005, examined the supposed relationship between the consumption of animal products (including dairy) and chronic illnesses such as coronary heart disease, diabetes, and cancers of the breast, prostate, and bowel.

The authors conclude that “people who eat a whole-food, plant-based/ vegan diet – avoiding all animal products, including beef, pork, poultry, fish, eggs, cheese and milk, and reducing their intake of processed foods and refined carbohydrates – will escape, reduce, or reverse the development of numerous diseases.”

The authors argue that “most, but not all, of the confusion about nutrition is created in legal, fully disclosed ways and is disseminated by unsuspecting, well-intentioned people, whether they are researchers, politicians, or journalists,” and that there are powerful industries that stand to lose a lot if Americans shift to a plant-based diet. They write that those industries “do everything in their power to protect their profits and their shareholders.”

What the public needs from journalists is information on

how to prevent Western diseases, and who stands to profit from withholding this information from us. No amount of handwringing can take the place of accurate reporting of the full story based on well-vetted research.

Publishers: William and Mary Anna Towler Editor: Mary Anna Towler Asst. to the publishers: Matt Walsh

Are we really asking if better teacher training is the answer?

Or maybe, duh, just hire better teachers like the suburbs do.

Whew. Crisis solved!

How can anyone be surprised that the scores turned out this way? If test scores are used to measure performance, what other outcome can be expected?

Any rational, intelligent person knows that city school district test scores are not driven by hordes of horrible teachers.

There are good and bad teachers in both the city and suburban school districts. If we consider only the issue of teacher evaluations (and put aside the dismal performance of the city schools), there is a very simple solution. Have teachers measured by their boss (the school admin) based on the subjective criteria that the rest of us get judged on. Set objectives locally; get measured on them.

As long as we rate teachers on unobtainable, non-variable objectives, city teachers will always appear to have lesser performance.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Our job after the tragedy of Pierson and the Glazers Inexplicable, devastating, tragic… pick your own adjective. All apply to the deaths last week of Rochester Police Officer Daryl Pierson and entrepreneurs Larry and Jane Glazer.

The people most profoundly affected are their families and coworkers, and nothing anybody can say can ease their pain. But all three deaths will have a deep, long-lasting impact on the Rochester community.

Pierson, a dedicated young officer and devoted husband and father, died fulfilling his duty in a career he loved, shot by a parolee who was just weeks out of prison.

The violence that killed Pierson is an outgrowth of a culture of violence whose roots Americans still don’t fully understand and are far from addressing adequately.

And while that culture of violence is by no means limited to inner cities, or to any race or income level, when a white police officer is killed by an African American, or when an African American is killed by a white police officer, it increases the tension and mistrust between races, and between police officers and a large segment of the community they serve.

As Rochester mourns Pierson’s death, it needs to commit itself to grappling more seriously with the roots of the violence that killed him – and that has killed far too many people in Rochester, almost all of them African Americans.

With the deaths of Larry and Jane Glazer, Rochester has lost two entrepreneurs who were successful in their own businesses and intensely committed to the community, giving their money, their time, and their energy, serving as role models and inspiring others in the process.

Jane Glazer founded her company, QCI Direct, in 1983 and built it into a thriving home-products catalog operation with 100 employees: a success story for entrepreneurs, for small businesses, and for women businesses owners. Larry Glazer’s Buckingham Properties, which he founded with former partner Harold Samloff in 1970 as a small real-estate operation, has become a major residential and commercial development firm. And most significantly, it has made enormous – literally breathtaking – investments in the City of Rochester, particularly downtown.

Larry Glazer’s faith in the city, and in downtown, has played a critical role in spurring the progress that is visible right now. And his death has stunned the large community of people who have been encouraged by his commitment to downtown: residents, businesspeople, other investors, government officials. His company has so many projects in the

There is no silver lining to the back-to-back tragedies that Rochester suffered last week. But there are opportunities.” works, with so much potential.

Answers to “what now?” have to wait, letting his family and staff grieve. But plenty of work is waiting for the rest of the community.

Early this week, Buckingham leaders and staff released a statement expressing thanks for the community’s support and saying that they would be available soon to discuss the current projects.

And, they added, Glazer built Buckingham “one brick at a time, over 40 years,” and he created a strong company with “multiple departments staffed with strong, experienced leaders.”

Buckingham is committed to fulfilling Glazer’s legacy, they said, “one brick at a time, in a manner that will continue to make our community, and Larry, proud.”

It was a statement of confidence and commitment – important and reassuring.

And while the greater community is understandably concerned about the future of massive projects like the development at Midtown, it couldn’t be successful if it depended on only one man.

Larry Glazer cannot bear the sole responsibility for the rejuvenation of downtown Rochester. That isn’t realistic.

And I can’t imagine that that was his vision.

Larry Glazer, Jane Glazer, Daryl Pierson: the death of any one of them would shake the community, and there is no silver lining to the back-to-back tragedies that Rochester suffered last week. But there are opportunities. The rest of us have a responsibility to build on what these three have left behind – and to see to it that out of their deaths will come hope. And change. rochestercitynewspaper.com

[ NEWS FROM THE WEEK PAST ]

Officer killed

Rochester Police Officer Daryl Pierson, 32, was shot and killed while pursuing a suspect on Hudson Avenue. Eight felony charges have been filed against 38-yearold Thomas Johnson, a recent parolee. Johnson has pleaded not guilty.

Pierson was an eight-year veteran of the Rochester Police Department and leaves behind a wife and two young children.

His killing is the first line-of-duty death for a Rochester police officer in 55 years.

New York is all wet

Rain storms are increasingly drenching New York and global warming is to blame, says a new report from the State Attorney General’s Office. According to the report, states in the Northeast saw a 71 percent increase in the amount of water that fell during the heaviest 1 percent of “precipitation events” — rain and snow storms — between 1958 and 2012.

Drug takebacks approved

The Drug Enforcement Agency has finalized rules that’ll allow pharmacies to put up drop boxes where consumers can dispose of unused

pharmaceuticals, including prescribed controlled substances. Congress directed the DEA to develop the rules through the Secure and Responsible Drug Disposal Act of 2010.

Glazers killed in plane crash

A plane that took off from Rochester heading for Florida crashed off the coast of Jamaica, killing Laurence Glazer and his wife, Jane. Larry Glazer, a highly respected developer of properties in the Rochester region and in Florida, was CEO and managing partner of Buckingham Properties. He has played a major role in the redevelopment under way in downtown Rochester and is often credited for his upbeat vision for Rochester’s future. Jane Glazer was a successful business person in her own right.

She founded QCI Direct, a home trends catalog company and ecommerce business. The company produces about 35 million catalogs annually and offers about 4,000 products online. The Glazers were known for their philanthropy and community engagement.

Fast food fight for $15 As a manager in training at the Irondequoit Wendy’s, Kim Ramos makes $8 an hour, which is New York’s minimum wage. When she advances to manager, she’ll make around $9 or $10 an hour.

Local fast food workers went on strike last week to demand a higher hourly wage. PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLIN

SMOKER/GRILL

GRILLS AVAILABLE IN 5 SIZES! We have a great selection of wood chips... hickory, mesquite, apple, cherry, pecan, and Jack Daniels.

But even then she says she’ll struggle to make ends meet. Ramos lives with her girlfriend, who has two children and is a manager at the same Wendy’s. If fast food corporations paid their workers better, Ramos says, her family would face less stress.

“I’d be able to pay more than one bill at a time,” she says.

Ramos, who works full time at the restaurant, was scheduled to work last Thursday. But instead, she and some of her coworkers went on a day-long strike. They also joined in a Metro Justice-organized protest in front of the Wendy’s. Fast food workers in 150 cities across the country were striking that day as part of the Fight for $15 campaign.

The campaign, which is led by social justice organizations and union organizers, is an effort to convince large fast food corporations such as McDonald’s, Burger King,

and Wendy’s to commit to a $15 hourly wage for their restaurant employees. Another goal: assurances that the companies won’t retaliate if workers try to unionize.

Campaign organizers say that the restaurants reap big profits, but pay their employees — many with families — very low wages. In the Rochester metro, the average food service employee earned $9.89 an hour as of May 2013, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

That’s an annual wage of $20,580, which is just above the federal poverty line for a family of three.

While Ramos participated in the protest, a man leaned out of a passing car and yelled that minimum wage is good enough.

“Some people are just ignorant,” Ramos said.

Most parolees will return to neighborhoods that are already struggling with crime, poverty, unemployment, and related issues. In the troubled 14621 ZIP code in Northeast Rochester, for example, one out of every 3.9 males between the ages of 20 to 49 is either on parole, probation, incarcerated, or otherwise under the supervision of the criminal justice system.

PUBLIC SAFETY | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

Parole under scrutiny Two recent, violent incidents allegedly involving parolees have focused attention on the issue of former prisoners returning to Rochester’s streets.

Michael Caruthers is accused of raping a teenage girl downtown last month, the day after he got out of prison. And Thomas Johnson III has been charged in the shooting death last week of Rochester Police Officer Daryl Pierson. Johnson is also a recent parolee. Caruthers and Johnson have pleaded not guilty.

Almost immediately following Pierson’s death, Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren publicly vowed to work with state officials to examine the issue of former prisoners returning to the Rochester community — re-entry. Acknowledgement of the problems associated with re-entry goes back to at least the administration of former mayor Bob Duffy.

Approximately 20 prisoners a week are released from state prisons into the city, says a 2009 paper from the Center for Public Safety Initiatives at the Rochester Institute of Technology. These individuals often have histories of unemployment and drug and alcohol abuse.

And most will return to neighborhoods that are already struggling with crime,

poverty, unemployment, and related issues. In the troubled 14621 ZIP code in Northeast Rochester, for example, one out of every 3.9 males between the ages of 20 to 49 is either on parole, probation, incarcerated, or otherwise under the supervision of the criminal justice system.

The effect is to further destabilize neighborhoods. The concentration of former prisoners influences everything from teen pregnancy, the paper says, to the sexual victimization of younger women and girls.

It also seriously hinders any chance of reform for the former prisoners.

Any serious discussion about parolees in city neighborhoods must include the concentration issue, says John Klofas, professor of criminal justice at RIT. Also important: lack of re-entry resources and the heavy caseloads carried by parole agents.

But at least people are talking about reentry now and the needs and public safety issues that go along with it, Klofas says.

That wasn’t always the case.

“The funding was never adequate to begin with and never expanded the way it should’ve been,” he says. “But you can’t complain about the early days, because we at least recognize the whole question of re-entry.”

Something to keep in mind: though many parolees — 39 percent — will find themselves back in prison, for most, it will be for parole violations, not violent crimes.

According to the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services, 256 parolees were arrested on felony charges in Monroe County from 2004 to 2013.

That’s 5.5 percent of the total felony arrests over that time.

In total, there were 598 parolees arrested from 2004 to 2013 in Monroe County — making up 3.5 percent of overall arrests.

EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

White students wane This school year, minority students should outnumber white students in the nation’s public schools for the first time, according to a report by the Pew Research Center.

While much has been made of the demographic change under way in the nation’s population and electorate, we are now seeing how that shift is occurring.

In 1997, the US had more than 46 million children in public schools, and more than 63 percent of them were white. Since then, however, the number of white students has declined by 15 percent, according to Pew. During that same period, enrollment of Hispanic and Asian students in particular has increased.

According to the report, the number of Hispanic students has nearly doubled since 1997.

The research brings up several concerns. Private school education continues to serve a mainly white student population, and there is growing pressure to provide government funding to those schools — which could mean less funding for public schools.

And probably most important: while white students are still the single largest student group, the nation’s children are at the epicenter of a demographic shift that has huge economic and political implications.

National policies related to housing, health care, and education will have to adapt.

HISTORY | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

An island of ancient faith in the inner city Woodchucks munch the grass to one side of the Fifteenth Tabernacle on what’s left of Leopold Street in the City of Rochester — the street is part of a weird island of warehouses, apartments, and empty lots in the foreground of the city’s skyline.

Leopold, near Ormond Street and Central Avenue in Northeast Rochester, has long been blocked off, says John Martin, pastor of Fifteenth Tabernacle. The building, also known as the former Leopold Street shul (school) — though the city has given the building a new address on Harrison Street — has survived more than a century of change. It’s the oldest synagogue still in use in Monroe County, according to the Landmark Society.

The building has served different religious communities over the years and weathered everything from economic decline to the ravages of urban renewal. Its congregation today is a small but strong and spiritually committed assembly of blacks who practice Judaism.

The synagogue was constructed in 1886 by

Eastern Orthodox European Jews — early immigrants who were members of the Beth Israel congregation. Beth Israel used the synagogue until 1973, when the building was purchased by the Church of God and Saints of Christ, Fifteenth Tabernacle. It was the 15th tabernacle established in New York State.

A call to the Fifteenth Tabernacle is greeted with “shalom,” the Hebrew word for peace. The congregation is sometimes described as Rochester’s black Jews, but Martin says that’s not entirely accurate.

Not everyone in the congregation is African American, he says. The Church of God and Saints of Christ has congregations in several countries, he says, and some members are white.

“We’re open to everyone,” Martin says.

“Anyone can join.”

According to the Church of God and Saints of Christ’s website, it is the oldest African-American-founded congregation in the US that adheres to the tenets of Judaism.

But they are not recognized as Jews by the mainstream Jewish community, and they do not call themselves Jews.

“We came from the continent of Africa and we consider ourselves to be Hebrew Israelites,” Martin says.

The Fifteenth Tabernacle doesn’t have significant ties to Rochester’s mainly white Jewish community, or with the city’s Christian African-American community.

But Martin says that the Fifteenth Tabernacle has cordial relations with all of the area’s faith communities.

The Church of God and Saints of Christ

was founded by Prophet William Saunders Crowdy. Born in Maryland in 1847, Crowdy began preaching in the late 1800’s and 6 CITY

SEPTEMBER 10-16, 2014

established congregations in cities around the country, including several sites in New York State. The organization is headquartered in Temple Beth El in Suffolk, Virginia.

The Church of God and Saints of Christ is among several groups of African-American Israelites in the US who believe that they are the descendants of the ancient Hebrews.

There are several implications to the historical reference, but the ones that receive the most attention from contemporary religious scholars are that the ancient Israelites were black, and that Jesus may have been a man of color.

The Fifteenth Tabernacle was described as a minority group within a minority group by city photographer Ira Srole in his master’s thesis, “Inner City Sanctuary” for Rochester Institute of Technology. It’s an insight into the congregation’s isolation as well as its strength and independence. Srole spent about a year observing and photographing the congregation.

Longtime member Hazel Jeffries says that

Fifteenth Tabernacle’s roughly 70 families come from Northeast and Northwest Rochester, as well the towns of Chili, Gates, and Henrietta.

In the old days, the ground floor was used for instruction and the upper floor with a balcony held the sanctuary. Women sat in the balcony and only the men sat below on the ground floor Women don’t sit alone in the balcony anymore, Martin says, but it’s traditional for men to sit on one side of the sanctuary and women to sit on the other.

The congregation is growing, but not as fast as Jeffries and Martin would like. To raise awareness, the Fifteenth Tabernacle holds fund raisers, music events, and dinners. And they try to reach out to the area’s youth.

“I’m really concerned about our young men,” Jeffries says. “I see them hanging out on street corners and it’s obvious they’re not in school like they should be. We talk to them and we try to let them know that we’re here and this is a safe place.”

The Fifteenth Tabernacle, also known as the Leopold Street shul (school), is the oldest synagogue still in use in Monroe County. PHOTOS BY MARK CHAMBERLIN

Employment is another big concern.

When younger members graduate from high school and go on to college, they often don’t return to the community because they can’t find jobs here, Jeffries says.

The Fifteenth Tabernacle’s most immediate concern, however, is keeping up with the cost of repairs and maintenance; Jeffries and Martin are getting an estimate for a roof repair. Many of the congregation’s members are retired and have modest incomes, Martin says, which makes funding operations and building costs a constant challenge.

“The roof is the Achilles’ heel of that building,” says Cynthia Howk, architectural research coordinator for the Landmark Society. “These folks deserve credit for the work they’ve done to maintain the building.”

The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, but is not a designated city landmark, though it should be, Howk says. Being on those lists does not guarantee the survival of such buildings, she says, but it helps. Still, it’s amazing that the building escaped Rochester’s urban renewal phase unscathed, she says.

“This was originally called the St. Joseph neighborhood, and it was truly a neighborhood

community,” Howk says. “Walking to synagogue was part of that tradition."

“The building is constructed of brick exterior in the Romanesque Revival style,” she says. “This was highlighted by the rounded arches. You can see that it has a very distinctive style: rectangular raised basement made of cut stone, raised porch and entrance, and the copper gable with the green patina.”

There once were several synagogues in the neighborhood, Howk says.

“But this was the most elegant of all of them,” she says. “It has such distinct architecture and it is an incredibly important cultural asset.”

Inside, there are 12 large stained-glass windows with the Star of David near the arch of each one. Another original stained glass depicts the Ten Commandments.

If the Inner Loop is filled in as proposed, Jeffries says, maybe Leopold Street and the neighborhood around Fifteen Tabernacle would regain some of its vibrancy.

“They created all these vacant lots during urban renewal to allow for development,” Jeffries says. “We waited, but it just never happened.”

Burgers and Suds [ CHOW HOUND ] BY KATIE LIBBY

Few experiences in my life have been more distinctly American than sitting under a wall-sized portrait of the signing of the Declaration of Independence while chowing down on a burger and drinking a beer. The only thing missing was Lynyrd Skynyrd playing over the speakers. American Burger Bar and Beer Boutique (3208 Latta Road, Greece) is a joint venture between brothers Greg and Chris Joy and Tyler Cannan. “The Americana theme is based on the fact that we are all very proud to be Americans,” Cannan says. “This country has helped us foster our ideas and turn them into reality, and we respect that a very great deal.”

The small restaurant is located in a strip mall in Greece. Beer and soda coolers line the right side of the space, with a dining area to the left decorated with a few high top and regular tables. Food is ordered at the counter and brought to you packed in takeaway containers, even if you are eating there. “Our vision was to open an amazing take out joint that was unlike any you had ever been in before,” Cannan explains.

“What is so funny is that so far not many

people treat it like one, they treat it more like a sit down restaurant.”

The beer coolers are stocked with a wide selection of single bottles and packs of craft beer, and there are also choices on tap to enjoy while you are there. “Our eight tap lines change all of the time and are always rotating.

It is an exciting time to be a beer drinker and we don’t want to miss a thing,” Cannan says.

Burgers and grilled cheese sandwiches make up the brunt of the menu. Those of us who remember when Food Network chef Paula Deen was more famous for her reckless use of butter and mayonnaise than for her controversial comments will find one menu item familiar: the doughnut burger. American Burger Bar’s version of the Doughnut Burger ($8.99) is a beef patty, American cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and onion sandwiched between two glazed donuts. Breakfast burgers have been finding their way on to restaurant menus lately and you will find one here as well — this one comprised of egg, American cheese, hash brown, Canadian bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, and maple mayo ($8.99).

One menu item that I have never seen at any restaurant before is the Colony Cup ($5.99), which essentially takes elements of

the Farm. Tickets are $75 and all proceeds will benefit Healthy Food For All. Purchase tickets at healthyfoodforall.peaksmaker.com/ early-morning-farms-dinner/.

The Adirondack Coast Wine, Cider and Beer Festival will be held at the Crete Civic Center in Plattsburgh on Saturday, October 11, from 2 to 7 p.m.

This is the first time the festival has been opened to families with children. In addition to tastings, there will be live music, demonstrations, and art classes.

broke through into super-band territory with the release of 2010’s “Brothers” and 2011’s “El Camino,” and their 2014 album, “Turn Blue,” may be The Black Keys’ biggest yet.

The guitar and drums are mint as per usual, and the addition of heavy synthesizers in some songs are pulled off right, not drowning out the other sounds and synthesizers can tend to do (see 1980’s Rush). The “Turn Blue” single “Fever” feels like a hit along the lines of “Gold on the Ceiling,” and titular song “Turn Blue” further highlights the new, fantastic direction The Black Keys took with its latest release.

Rowland S. Howard isn’t forgotten, it’s just that he never really made any pitches from the periphery where he resided after the morph of his band, Melbourne’s The Boys Next Door into The Birthday Party. On “Pop Crimes,” Howard’s uber-cool frosts the scene with his narcotic, narcoleptic vocal deadpan and raw guitar minimalism. It’s exquisite in its sexified midtempo grind; moody as hell with a noir patina and flourish. It’s amazing how music this dark — intensified by its creator’s absence — can draw you to its black heart and make you aware that you’ve been smiling since you dropped the needle in the first groove.

Harmonica Lewinski is a smirk personified. But its lofi, psychedelic, psycho-surf go-go is positively brilliant.

It’s trashy in the spirit of, say, The Cramps, or The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. The reverb-drenched throb and drone is akin to the trippy side of garage rock. To quote band member Joe Bushen, it’s “maximum rock ‘n’ roll, maximum fun.” — BY FRANK DE BLASE

The Miami Jazz Project “The Miami Jazz Project” ZOHO RECORDS Arthurbarron.com

Saxophonist/flautist Arthur Barron, soprano saxophonist Dave Liebman, and keyboardist Abel Pabon waste no time in declaring their distinctive sound on this self-titled album. The opening tune, John Coltrane’s fairly obscure “Dahomey Dance,” features eerie harmonies, and no shortage of melody-stretching solos. When the two horn players are not charming snakes, Pabon takes off on a wild ride on the keys.

By the next slinky composition, “Lordy Lourdes,” Pabon’s electric piano is washing over the music. Jazz purists might find this album a little too electric and a little too catchy. But we’re a safe distance from the 1970’s and musicians are realizing that fusion wasn’t all bad.

The Miami Jazz Project pays homage to that era and it sure is fun.

The Coltrane-like sound returns midway through the record in the form of Barron’s “Mr. Q,” a tune reminiscent of Coltrane’s “Naima.” The album gets positively weird in Pabon’s Tibetan chant-like “Blessings Eternal” which is used as to a prelude to Liebman’s “Slow Dance On The Killing Ground.” Barron, Liebman and Pabon sound like they’re having a ball playing these tunes. They are ably supported by Josh Allen and Eric England on bass; Michael, drums, and Alfredo Chacon, vibraphone and percussion. — BY RON NETSKY

Music Top cat on the bottom end [ PROFILE ] BY FRANK DE BLASE

It’s not hard to spot Brian Williams.

It’s hard to keep up with Williams, but not hard to find him at joint de jur, his arms around his big doghouse bass, with that big smile on his dial. Williams is everywhere, he’s the bass man of the Rochester scene, the go-to guy, the top cat on the bottom end.

Whether it’s bluegrass, rockabilly, Gypsy jazz, blues, singer-songwriter, spoken word, or children’s songs, Williams masterfully covers it all. He keeps busy. He gets around. It’s in his blood.

Long before it was the man and his bass, it was the boy and his radio soaking up early rock ‘n’ roll.

“I was a child of the 50’s,” Williams says. “And as such, I had the benefit and joy of listening to Alan Freed and Murray The K on local New York radio station WINS. I grew up in Long Island but we had all the New York radio stations, which were the best at that time — especially in the early days of rock ‘n’ roll. In the evenings, the DJ would take dedications and requests. We would call in and we’d hear ours on the radio and be so thrilled. So I grew up on early rock ‘n’ roll ringing in my ears.”

Music was encouraged in the Williams household. Williams’ mother was an opera fanatic. But by the time he picked up the guitar in his early teens, Williams had virtually no formal music training except for trumpet lessons in the fifth grade.

“I haven’t had a music lesson since,” he says with a laugh. “Once I started strumming the guitar, it was all by ear.

My ear training has served me very well.”

While attending RIT in the early1970’s, Williams started cutting his teeth on guitar and banjo with other aspiring musicians. They would play in the hall during their lunch break. This culminated in a serendipitous invitation to play a tent party in Mendon, New York. The new owner of the Cottage Hotel, a live music venue in Mendon, happened to be there.

“He was so excited to hear this band — which was hardly a band at the time,” Williams says. “And he said, ‘You’ve got a job three nights a week as long as you want it.’ And we jumped at the chance.”

The Swamp Root String Band was born 12 CITY SEPTEMBER 10-16, 2014

and rapidly garnered a rabid audience.

According to Williams, the time was right.

“It was 1972,” he says, “and the folk music revival was happening and nobody was playing our kind of music around Rochester at the time. The drinking age was 18, and DWI wasn’t strictly enforced at all, and a 20 minute drive from Rochester wasn’t a big deal. We had a tremendous following for two years.”

With its three-night anchor gig in place,

The Swamp Root String Band began to venture out during the summer months to areas around the Appalachian Mountains and beyond to play bluegrass conventions and festivals. Then fate walked in the door carrying a dobro.

“My musical tastes changed dramatically when a young high school drop-out came to the Cottage Hotel and wanted to sit in between our breaks,” Williams says. “We were resistant at first, but gave him a chance. And about ten seconds into his first tune we knew he had something special.” It was bluesman John Mooney.

After The Swamp Root String Band dissolved, Williams picked up the bass and hitched his wagon to Mooney’s star.

The duo played together all over the U.S. east of the Mississippi. It was a strictly acoustic affair with a clarinet, harmonica, and keyboard added in at different intervals. The John Mooney Blues Band recorded two albums and tore up the road for roughly 10 years, ending when Mooney split for New Orleans.

Brian Williams has been a go-to bass player on the Rochester scene since the 1970's. You can catch him In 1985, Williams was bombing around performing with The Djangoners and Bobby Henrie and the Goners. PHOTO PROVIDED town with Miss Kate and her Hep Cats when drummer Jim Simmonds called him “It wasn’t something that I was parties, and corporate events. A few shift to form the rockabilly trio Bobby Henrie motivated to do,” he says. “I just started changes and the band morphed into and the Goners. This was the perfect outfit getting calls.”

Manouche à Trois. And with the addition for Williams’ taste and skill.

The first call came in 2000 from Roy of Eric and Harry Aceto and Bobby “Bob had rock ‘n’ roll and rockabilly Berns and Ed Marris to play French Henrie in 2010, the band turned into skills,” he says. “But also had a deep musette waltzes, café jazz, and the music The Djangoners. background in old time string band of Django Reinhardt in a group to be music and bluegrass.” The Goners hit called Lumière. Williams wasn’t sure he When Williams isn’t out gigging, he’s still the ground with a mighty gallop, playing was qualified or if Berns and Marris even a gadabout, a man about town. You know approximately 80 shows its first year, had the right number. it’s a good show if you see Williams’ face moving on to 100 annually. The trio has

“My immediate response was, ‘Are you in the place. been non-stop for 30 years except for a sure you’ve got the right guy?”’ he says.

“I’m very visible on the Rochester year-long sabbatical when Henrie got his “They said, ‘Yes we know what you do. music scene,” he says. “I attend a lot of bachelor’s degree in jazz guitar and jazz We want you to do it with us.’” music events because I love to support composition at SUNY Geneseo. It was

studio and live input. Artists like Maria Gillard and Scott Regan who recently plugged Williams into a new project they’re recording. Artists like the multi-instrumental Mike Kornrich and Piedmont-style Bluesman Fred Vine both keep Williams busy with gigs at schools and old folks homes. Williams is one of the few musicians you’ll see play “Itsy bitsy Spider” and “Race With The Devil” in the course of the same day.

He’s toured off and on with Albany rockabilly sensations The Lustre Kings, plays jazz standards with The Charlie Mitchell Group, non-jazz standards with The Flexitarians, and just about anything you throw at him.

“My calendar in the course of any week currently includes playing with six or seven different outfits,” he says.

There’s a little bit of Brian Williams in a lot of different bands.

“The reason I get called for the gig is because they want a little bit of Brian Williams,” he says. “But by the same token, since I don’t read music and haven’t had formal lessons and I’m ear-trained, immediately I listen to what’s going on and figure out how to compliment that. “And that may require in some cases, playing in a style I’m completely unfamiliar with and that lets me explore around different territory in order to make a sensible musical compliment to the group.”

One might think Williams a musical bachelor too busy having fun to commit, or better yet a bass playing nomad, a loner, a Gypsy. Nope.

“Actually that’s hardly the case,” Williams says. “I feel a strong commitment, first and foremost to my long standing band Bobby Henrie and the Goners, and also to The Djangoners. But I make every effort possible to be available to the other ensembles I play with.”

Though the man could stand to brag a little, he lets his fingers do the talking.

“My playing speaks for itself,” he says with a smile and a wink. “It’s all good fun.”

Don’t be surprised to think Johnny and June when you listen to country-folk duo Brennen Leigh and Noel McKay. The pair manages to summon the sounds of older country with keeping a more modern subject matter — and it’s not the typical “my wife left me, my dog died” subject matter you’d hear in a lot of country. There’s also a welcome sense of humor in the songs — “Does your coat still sound like a morocco when you’re walking up and down around the Tennessee hills?” from “Are You Still Takin’ Them Pills?” If you can get down with acoustic guitars and harmonies, check these two out.

NEW AGE | DAVID LANZ

Most of pianist David Lanz’s compositions aren’t overly complicated, but each piece contains a vividly told story.

The power and emotion in his playing are palpable, without being needlessly intricate or exaggerated, as his keystrokes paint a self-contained picture, often relaxing and reflective.

Lanz, a Seattle-native who now resides in Pittsford, rose to prominence with his 1988 album “Cristofori’s Dream,” which stayed at No. 1 on Billboard’s adult alternative/New Age charts for 27 weeks. He has since released more than 40 albums and was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2000.

On Thursday, September 11, Lanz will be joined by vocalist Kristin Amarie for a special duet performance at Kilbourn Hall. The two recently collaborated on Amarie’s debut solo album, “Notes From a Journey.”

David Lanz with Kristin Amarie will perform Thursday, September 11, at Kilbourn Hall, 26 Gibbs Street. 7 p.m. $48-$100. Proceeds to benefit the 2014 High Falls Film Festival. Brownpapertickets.com; Davidlanz.com.

Ward Stare’s been getting most of the RPO-related media love lately, but we’re happy to offer some to the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra’s multitalented Jeff Tyzik. He starts the RPO Pops season this weekend by conducting that pops-concert programming staple, the salute to Broadway — here called “Broadway’s Golden Age and Beyond.” The program ranges from George M. Cohan to Andrew Lloyd Webber, with tuneful stops at Cole Porter, the Gershwins, Lerner and Loewe, and Marvin Hamlisch, to name a few. It adds up to a pleasing array of beloved American music, in the able hands of Tyzik, the RPO, and vocalists Lisa Vroman and Doug LaBrecque.

ROCKABILLY | ROSIE FLORES

Reigning rockabilly queen, filly, and diva Rosie Flores has been a constant on the scene for years. Yet the Austin-based singer/guitarist still plays with the joy of a 9 year old playing a chocolate guitar. Whereas, Flores voice is coquettish and sweet with just enough drawl and coo, her guitar playing is slick and mean. Come see what I mean.

This show is the gal’s birthday, so leave room for cake.

Susan Hopkins portrays the titular character in Blackfriars’ production of “Shirley Valentine.”

PHOTO BY DAN HOWELL

An early valentine “Shirley Valentine” THROUGH SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 14 BLACKFRIARS THEATRE, 795 EAST MAIN STREET THURSDAY: 7:30 P.M.; FRIDAY AND SATURDAY: 8 P.M.; AND SUNDAY: 2 P.M. $28.50-$36.50 | 454-1260; BFTIX.ORG [ REVIEW ] BY DAVID RAYMOND

Blackfriars Theatre is getting a slight jump on the fall theater season with its early-September production of “Shirley Valentine.” However, this production of Willy Russell’s endearing one-character play, anchored by a terrific performance, is not a theatrical hors d’oeuvre. It’s a modest, expertly prepared, and tasty meal.

Susan Hopkins plays Shirley Bradshaw (née Shirley Valentine), a Liverpool housewife and mother in her early 50’s who has a predictable, unsatisfying life. Her children are grown (but keep returning), her husband takes her for granted, and she feels that life’s good things have passed her by. Her main confidante is her kitchen wall.

(The Bradshaw family members are not onstage physically, but Shirley’s descriptions of them and of her friends are vivid enough.)

Out of the blue, Shirley’s friend Jane, a feminist of sorts (“She believes all men 18 CITY SEPTEMBER 10-16, 2014

are potential rapists, even the Pope”), wins a two-week trip to Greece and buys Shirley a ticket to accompany her. The beginning of the play consists of Shirley’s deliberating about whether to go and her family’s possible reaction.

In the second scene, she’s all ready to go — without telling her husband Joe. Once she arrives in Greece, her feminist friend ditches her for a man she met on the plane, so Shirley is left to her own devices. Energized by “the excitement of not knowing,” she immediately finds all those lovely Mediterranean things that bottled-up English visitors have found for centuries: sunshine, warmth, blue water, wine, and easy romance.

When we encounter Shirley in Act Two,

she is thoroughly acclimated and feels herself changing back to the confident woman she was before she was married — “Shirley the sensational, Shirley the brave, Shirley Valentine.” At play’s end, she’s awaiting her husband, who is coming to Greece to bring her back, and may or may not be successful.

Russell’s script is maybe just a bit pat, but he created a wonderfully rounded and engaging character in Shirley. The play is full of funny anecdotes, nice details of working-class British life, and

sharp insights. I probably shouldn’t claim to speak for middle-aged British housewives, but Russell’s portrait of Shirley does feel genuine, insightful, and heartfelt.

It helps to have a terrific actor playing Shirley, too. Susan Hopkins played this role for Blackfriars 15 years ago to great acclaim. I didn’t see that performance, but her current portrayal of Shirley is delectable: spot-on without being at all showy (a trap some single-performer plays can fall into, particularly plays where the character needs to speak with an accent), and detailed without ever seeming fussy or overthought. (Hopkins sails through pages of script while slicing potatoes and frying eggs, and makes it seem perfectly natural.)

Hopkins’ mildly Liverpudlian accent is perfectly natural and her performance in general is very subtle, drawing the audience (or at least this audience member) in immediately. She lands all of Shirley’s self-deprecating jokes, but is also wrenching and moving when Shirley’s good humor fails her and she expresses her frustration and bewilderment. And by the time she raises her glass to an uncertain future at the end, you’re with her completely.

John Haldoupis’s set design tells the play’s story as clever and succinctly as Willy Russell does. Act One takes place in a very 70’s kitchen, all rather dowdy earth tones. Shirley’s future is hinted at by a partly assembled jigsaw puzzle of the Parthenon on the kitchen table. In Act Two, the Parthenon is the backdrop, and the rock by the ocean where Shirley goes to puzzle over her life is an abstract structure — made of big puzzle pieces.

Haldoupis also directed the play, and “Shirley Valentine” seems like a close collaboration between actor and director; the show’s tricky pacing is well thought-out. (Act Two is awfully short, but that’s not their fault.) On opening night, the incidental music was just a bit loud at times, and the final blackout seemed abrupt, but that was hardly enough to spoil the appealing atmosphere that Russell, Hopkins, and Haldoupis have created.

FITNESS | EAST END FITNESS FESTIVAL

On Saturday, September 13, Fitness Edge Radio will host the first East End Fitness Festival, a daylong expo of health featuring more than 40 local fitness related businesses, live music, and an assortment of food options. The event will take place in the parking lot on East Avenue between Mathews and Scio Streets, from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Fitness Edge founder John Hutchings says the event will “capture the energy and heritage of the East End Festival,” with a fitness related twist.

Highlights include free group exercise events in Yoga, Bowka, and others, as well as fitness challenges ranging from weight lifting to a Ninja Warrior inspired obstacle course. A “Fitness Village” will house local businesses and gyms, where patrons can shop and attend special demonstrations. Admission is $3, with portions of the proceeds going to the Roland Williams’ Champions’ Academy. Hutchings says he intends the festival to be a “celebration of the fitness lifestyle and culture,” and hopes to raise awareness of the importance of healthy living, with plans to expand upon the festival in years to come.

ON! [ INTRODUCTION ] BY JAKE CLAPP

n just three years, the First Niagara Rochester Fringe Festival has grown to be one of the largest multi-arts festivals in New York State. During its debut in 2012, the festival drew more than 32,000 attendees across 5 days, prompting a needed expansion for the next year. The 2013 Fringe grew to 360 performances, 28 venues, and 10 days, and brought in more than 50,000 people for dancing on buildings, gospel choirs, drag queens, kids shows, theater, stand-up comedy, music, visual arts, and any other kind of performance you can imagine — and a few that no one would have expected. Rochester enthusiastically embraced its fringe side.

This year, the Rochester Fringe Festival will feature more than 380 shows, taking place Thursday, September 18, through Saturday, September 27, across 28 venues in and around downtown Rochester.

The festival is put on by a nonprofit corporation spearheaded by some of the area’s key cultural institutions, including Geva Theatre Center, the George Eastman House, Garth Fagan Dance, and Eastman School of Music, among others. What makes Fringe stand out from other arts festivals is that participating venues curate their own shows. Acts applied earlier this year and the

various theaters, galleries, cafes, and other venues picked the shows that fit them best.

Tickets for Fringe shows vary per venue, typically ranging between $6 and $16 (and headlining acts typically have higher ticket prices). Still, there are dozens of completely free spectacles, including Circus Orange, one of this year’s headliners. Tickets for individual shows are available online at rochesterfringe.com, by phone at 371-5017 (please note: the phone number printed in the Official Fringe Guide is incorrect), and in person at each venue starting an hour before show time.

Fringe Fanatic Passes, which grant admission to all Fringe shows (except performances in the Spiegeltent), cost $190 and can be purchased online, by phone, or at the Spiegeltent box office.

For a full schedule of the festival, a list of venues, maps, and other information, see the official Fringe Festival Guide, included in this issue or visit Rochesterfringe.com.

City Newspaper will offer extensive coverage of the 2014 Rochester Fringe Festival. Look for daily blogs during the run of the festival, with photos, reviews, and our critics’ picks for best of the fest. And make sure to pick up our Fringe Review in print in the September 24 issue.

SEPTEMBER 10-16, 2014

H E A D L I N E R S BY TREVOR LEWIS

Circus Orange Circus Orange’s “Tricycle” act is a true smorgasbord of a performance. Described as a “dramatic fusion of live music, clown, circus dance, aerial performance, mechanics, pyrotechnics and fire arts,” the show seems like something out of a Tim Burton flick. The performers walk through the crowd — so if you are scared of clowns you will want to stay far away. If you can get over the coulrophobia though, you’re in for a treat, as you can see an odd clown named Foo ride a ridiculously large tricycle, and a pyro wheel which I’ll leave up to your imagination. No, someone didn’t slip a hallucinogen, it’s just the show being that good.

Circus Orange will perform “Tricycle” on Friday, September 19, at Martin Luther King Jr. Park at Manhattan Square, beginning at 7:30 p.m. The show is free for all ages.

Cirque Du Fringe Last year’s Cirque Du Fringe shows sold out, and with a new Mardi Gras performance, tickets will probably go quick this year. Taking place in the Spiegeltent — which is an experience in itself — the Vegas style, Circus themed act provides plenty of “did that really just happen?” moments, whether it be through feats of strength or high-flying acts. Adding to the circus vibes are the stunt clowns from 20 Penny Circus, who perform acts like playing Russian roulette with a nail gun (yikes!) and instantaneous teleportation (whoa!) among others. Much like Circus Orange, this is not a show for clown fearers but those with neutral clown feelings are in for a magical time. 20 Penny Circus will host Cirque du Fringe, and the Kenya Safari Acrobats will also perform.

Cirque Du Fringe has various show times each day of the Fringe Festival. For specifics, visit rochesterfringe.com.

Performances are in the Spiegeltent. $36. Appropriate for ages 13 and older.

Spoon River Rochester There has been many moments throughout my reading career where I thought, “Wouldn’t it be fun if I could live this story in real life?” This is what theatre group Method Machine’s Spoon River Rochester aims to accomplish.

Based on Edger Lee Masters’ “Spoon River Anthology,” — which narrates the lives of 212 deceased residents of the fictional town Spoon River through poetic epitaphs — approximately 300 Rochesterians will take up roles of the residents, simultaneously performing their associated poems. Show goers can stroll through the interactive performance and create their own unique show. The show only lasts for a half-hour, so be sure to take in the largest performance anywhere of Masters’ work while you have the chance.

Spoon River Rochester takes place on Friday, September 26, and Saturday, September 27, 6:30 p.m. on Gibbs Street between Main and East. This performance is free and appropriate for all ages.

The Magic Crystal Spiegeltent Back after a popular reception at last year’s festival, the Spiegeltent is almost like a completely different world, sort of like walking through the magic wardrobe in “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.” It is made of wood and has mirrors and stained glass on the inside, and chock full of nostalgia. There are a number of shows going on in the tent, but a couple of discos are especially of note.

First, get a bit of the silent treatment through the Silent Disco, a dance party where you hear nothing until you slip on a pair of headphones which give you the option of hearing one of two live DJs. Then there’s the Brown Bag Disco, which is the Silent Disco during the work day, except it includes a bagged lunch, and really, who doesn’t love a free lunch? Silent Disco takes place Friday, September 19, 26, and 27, at 11 p.m. and is appropriate for ages 18 and older. Tickets are $9. Brown Bag Disco takes place Friday, September 26, at 12 p.m. and is for all ages.

Entrance is $9 and includes a bagged lunch from Pelligrino’s.

If you want more 20 Penny Circus, the troupe will perform its own solo shows in the Spiegeltent on September 25, 26, and 27, at 9:30 p.m. $17. This show is for mature audiences.

Jay Pharoah

see interview on page

rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY

Impersonator

he man at the microphone is unmistakable, speaking in clearly enunciated words with a clipped, precise delivery. President Obama is cool and collected no matter what crisis the world — or congress — throws his way. And if not for the laughs and his closing words, “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!” you could almost believe it’s him.

But the man at the microphone is 26-yearold wunderkind Jay Pharoah, and there are a lot more people than Barack Obama residing inside the rising comedy sensation. Ready to spring out at the slightest provocation are Denzel Washington, Will Smith, Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, Nicholas Cage, Bill Cosby, Kanye West, and dozens more.

When he headlines the Rochester Fringe Festival, Pharoah will do far more than impersonations. In addition to his SNL work, Pharoah has been doing cutting-edge stand-up comedy for a decade all over the country.

Born Jared Antonio Farrow in Chesapeake, Virginia, in 1987, Pharoah was honing his impressions when he was in single digits. By the time he was 15, he was already performing in clubs.

Tapped for SNL in 2010, Pharoah took over the role of impersonator-in-chief in 2012.

In doing so he joined an exclusive club whose members include Dana Carvey (George H.W. Bush), Darrell Hammond (Bill Clinton), and Will Ferrell (George W. Bush), Pharoah has become so well known for his dead-on impersonations that he often

INTERVIEW — BY — RON NETSKY 24

F4 CITY SEPTEMBER 10-16, 2014

learns of major and minor news stories through fans. Recently, when Stephen A. Smith, an ESPN commentator and a Pharoah persona, made some unfortunate remarks about the role of women, Pharoah was flooded with tweets telling him he had to do something. Trouble is, he does impressions of so many people it’s tough to keep up.

City spoke with Pharoah recently for a phone interview. The following is an edited version of that conversation.

CITY: When did you have your first inkling that you would be a comedian?

Jay Pharoah: When I was 6, I was watching

“Aladdin” and I did Iago — the Gilbert Gottfried character. A friend said you’re really good at this. I thought, if a 6-year-old girl is saying that in a complete sentence, maybe I should continue.

I’ve got a very heavy Christian base — my parents — so at the time I was doing jokes about the rapture.

Do you remember listening to any impressionists growing up?

I had no clue about impressionists when I was small. When I got older I found out that Eddie did it. I thought, “Wow, Eddie Murphy does impressions?” I always knew he was funny, I just didn’t know he did voices.

Then I started watching other ones. On David Letterman I saw Frank Caliendo and Reggie Reg — I thought he was great.

When you do some of your impressions, like Bill Cosby and Chris Rock, it’s not just the voice; you physically almost become that person. How does that work?

You imagine a person’s face while you’re doing their voice and imagine them saying the things their saying. I shouldn’t have told you that; I just gave out my secret, man.

Jay Pharoah

Almost every great black comedian, starting with Richard Pryor, has at some point addressed racial problems in their act. White comedians don’t bring that baggage, even though whites caused it.

PERFORMING AT THE FIRST NIAGARA ROCHESTER FRINGE FESTIVAL SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20 SPIEGELTENT, 406 EAST MAIN STREET 9:30 P.M. & 11:30 P.M. | $48 | ROCHESTERFRINGE.COM; JAYPHAROAH.COM

I don’t know if it’s really baggage; it’s more art. It’s just observation because it’s about the condition. You’re forced to observe stuff and then just make jokes about it. What part of my act are you thinking of?

Your Golden Corral story where you’re working in the kitchen and you throw a roll at an older black worker. He thinks your white friend did it.

Oh yeah, that actually happened. It’s totally sporadic. It just falls into your lap and you think, “I can use that.” In my head when I see something like that, I make it like a little pocket of my set.

Comedians can get away with a lot. You can use the n-word and do jokes about ethnic stereotypes. But recently, when Marlon

Wayans tweeted a picture of himself rolling his eyes while Delta Goodrem danced in the background with the caption “Delta Goodrem can’t dance” — as in “White people can’t dance” — he got in trouble.

Nowadays, people want to be so politically correct. Thirty years ago, you had to start a rally or some bullshit. Now you can speak out against small things especially when you have outlets like Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. With technology you can voice your opinion so quick.

Do you ever watch what you say?

Nah. There’s a certain line I know not to cross, but at the same time, edgy is what makes names. By playing it safe you’re not going to get there. You have to ride that line and figure

said, “You’re doing it.” I told the snipers: Back off snipers. out what you can say to push it but not go too far.

Where is that line?

When you talk about physically harming somebody or you would do something to somebody that’s like a mortal wound. Most of the time it’s not, but a few of my peers have said some things over the years that have gotten them into major trouble.

As a comedian you’re supposed to be allowed to say what you need to say and be unapologetic. At the same time you have to be very careful because the world has become so sensitive and everybody has that outlet where they can speak out against you.

How does it feel to join the elite group of people who have been presidential impersonators on “Saturday Night Live”?

I’m in a prestige club and I’m the first black one. SNL is amazing. It’s an institution. It’s been around longer than me. SNL was on when I was swimming around and hadn’t been shot out yet.

Have you met President Obama? Do you know how he feels about your impression?

I met him at Harvey Weinstein’s house. It was really weird because they had like 28 snipers on the roof. I didn’t want to say the wrong thing. I didn’t want to move the wrong way because if I would have, I would have been headless Jay Pharoah, and that wouldn’t have been cool because I can’t talk without a head.

I had to be very careful. I was doing the impression and he was standing right there.

It’s like you can’t move. You’ve got to be careful how you move. It’s kind of like you go out to a strip club, you can touch some but some you can’t. So you have do a test smack before.

I’ve never had that experience but I’ll take your word for it.

It wasn’t the greatest one. You walk in and it smells like depression and regrets but at the same time … you’ve got to go at least once.

It’s not a normal thing I do.

But, back to Obama…

He said, [in Obama’s voice], “I think that guy’s very good. He sounds just like I do.”

But I heard this through another person because by the time he came up to find me I was taking my makeup off. I was dressed just like him — it was great.

I was checking with him the whole time while I’m doing the voice. Am I doing this okay? He looked at me and touched me and

What’s it like alone on the stage — just you having to fill a large venue with your personality? Is it empowering or is it scary?

It’s a little bit of both because as a comedian you have the opportunity not only to influence people but to touch people. And any comedian should have some kind of message at the end to try to empower somebody so one day that person can change something.

History’s made by people saying things and wanting to change something. I feel honored to be able to have that mouthpiece.

It is scary though.

I read that you were born premature and that you had a twin brother who died at birth. Do you think about that at all? Has it had any impact on you?

I think about it from time to time. I don’t know if the world could have handled two of us. Would one of us have been evil and one good? Was he the good one? Am I the evil one?

We would have been a tag team. We would have taken over the world. Sometimes I wonder how that would have played out.

As it is you’re about 50 different people already.

A hundred — I got over a hundred. So I guess we would be 200 people. We would fight over who could do who.

Is there anyone you’ve tried but you just can’t do?

P. Diddy — I don’t really mess with that guy. It’s like I’m not supposed to do this one.

You’ve accomplished so much at the age of 26; what do you see in your future?

I want to be somebody who’s known to have done it all. I’ve got music coming out, I’ve got movies coming out and more of those are in the pipeline. Just more SNL stuff, movies, music and whatever comes after that. Babies … whatever.

You could follow in the footsteps of another SNL star, Al Franken, and become a senator. Then maybe you could really become president.

I don’t want to be president, man. Hey man, I’ve got enough things to worry about day by day than to worry about the rest of the world.

Rochester Laptop Orchestra

The best part about the Rochester Fringe Festival is how easy it makes it to discover the offbeat, unusual, and slightly weird acts that might slip past. And by the sound of it, the Rochester Laptop Orchestra is exactly the sort of thing I’d hope to see at a fringe festival. Students from the University of Rochester and Eastman School of Music will demonstrate this relatively new art form, which blends art and science by using computer technology to create completely unique musical compositions.

I could not be more intrigued. (Thursday, September 18, 6 p.m.; Saturday, September 20, 2:30 p.m. The TheatreROCS Stage at Xerox Auditorium. $5. All ages)

I missed the live radio show of “The 39 Steps” at last year’s Fringe Festival, so I’m really looking forward to catching “Vintage Hitchcock: A Live Radio Play.” Local theater company Screen Plays will perform this 1947

“God of Carnage” is one of those plays I’ve always wanted to see, but never had the opportunity to cross off my list, so naturally I’m excited to see what local performers can do with the dark comedy

“Traveling with a Dancing Tiger” Enjoy storytelling through many musical folk traditions at “Traveling with a Dancing Tiger: An Evening with Howie Lester,” which is described as a Gypsy campfire, Turkish coffee house, experimental theatre, high drama, and low comedy wrapped

Politics, the stock market, health insurance, and the education system run America, but treat people like numbers instead of beings with voices, say the creators of “WonderStreet,” a puppet show created by choreographers Zhaklin Ivanova, Gina Krempasky, and Margaret Moreno. In this production, Wall Street becomes a wacky wonderland where the people are fighting for their right to be individuals. (Saturday, September 20, 8:30

“Diaghilesque”

PUSH Physical Theatre Another big name local company, PUSH Physical Theatre, will also perform at Fringe in what may be the troupe’s only home performance this year; PUSH will be busy competing on a reality television show airing on major cable. PUSH was founded by husband and wife team Darren and Heather Stevenson in 2000 with the intent to “push” the boundaries of theater. Their distinct mix of dance, mime and acrobatics combines humor, excitement, and insightful storytelling to delight audiences. Last year’s Fringe performances sold out. (Saturday, September 20, 3 p.m. and 7 p.m.; Saturday, September 27, 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Kilbourn Hall. $16. All ages)

“Germination” A big part of Fringe is the thrill of discovering fresh talent, the satisfaction of hitting upon a show that grabs you — one you want to give a big shout out to.

Last year, a work called “Transient Being,” choreographed by Eran Hanlon and danced

by Alaina Olivieri with visuals by Joseph Tarentelli, exemplified that state of joyful viewing for this reporter. Thrillingly, Hanlon is back in collaboration with Tarentelli to present “Germination.” Directed by Hanlon

Another show promising to be way different is “Diaghilesque,” a collection of Ballet Russe gems reimagined by NYC dance company KineticArchitecture! And choreographed

by Faux Pas le Fae (this company obviously has a sharp sense of humor). The company bills itself as a combination of burlesque carnival and modern dance. Time Out NYC describes it as “A mixture of dance, gravitydefying gymnastics, yoga and S&M.” Hmm. The show includes nudity and is intended for mature audiences only. Add sylphs, swans and fauns to the mix and exploration of feminism, trans issues, abuse, and primal sensuality and you’ve got something to contend with. Here’s betting the costumes are fabulous, too.

Expect virtuoso dancing and cutting edge choreography. (Wednesday, September 24, 7:30 p.m.; Thursday, September 25, 6 p.m.; Saturday, September 27, 4 p.m. Geva Theatre Center Nextstage. $12.

“Rochester Playwrights II” and “You Are Where”

“The Last Five Years”

Two interesting presentations taken from Rochester’s history: For “Rochester Playwrights II,” The Geriactors, a troupe of “mature,” and greatly experienced actors, who put on a charming show in 2013, return with more short plays by local writers, interspersed with old songs about Rochester.

Rochester theater’s musical power couple, Janine Mercandetti and Carl Del Buono, team up again after their performances at the JCC last season of this very popular Jason Robert Brown two-hander. It ingeniously tells the story of a failed marriage from two points of view: his (told from beginning to end) and hers (told from end to beginning).

Yes, it’s been made into a movie, but you know this is going to be better. (Sunday,

CBS show (radio and then TV), “You Are There,” which took viewers back in history through re-inactments. In the case of “You Are Where,” the “where” is “here” and the history is Rochester’s.

FESTIVAL | NIAGARA CELTIC HERITAGE FESTIVAL

Though in America it’s hard to tell, Celtic culture entails so much more than reveling drunkenly in the springtime drizzle.

If you’re clueless about the Celts, now’s your chance to learn more. This weekend, the Niagara Celtic Heritage Society will host the 14th annual Niagara Celtic Heritage Festival and Highland Games, which features the traditions and pageantry of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. The festival is held at the lakeside grounds of Krull County Park (6108 Lake Road) in Olcott, which is about an hour drive west of Rochester.

The festival will take place Saturday, September 13, and Sunday, September 14, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Highlights include many musical performances, a clan village, craftsmen demos, a rugby match, storytelling, and more. Admission is $20 on Saturday, $12 on Sunday, $25 for a weekend pass, and free to ages 12 and younger. Parking is free. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

SPECIAL EVENT | GREENTOPIA FALL FESTIVAL

Greentopia’s Fall Festival will return for its fourth year, this weekend, though in a slightly different format from previous years. Rather than a week-long event, the Fall Festival will take place Friday, September 12, and Saturday, September 13, with the film festival portion moving to the spring (March 17-21, 2015). The Fall Festival takes place in High Falls along Browns Race, from Platt Street to Commercial Street.

Since Greentopia, a non-profit, provides programming yearround, “certain aspects of the Fall Festival were so popular, that it made sense to showcase them outside of the Fall Festival timeframe and so we will host some of them now throughout the year,” says Michael Philipson, President of the Philipson Group and Co-Founder of Friends of the GardenAerial. “By moving the Film Festival to the spring 2015, we can now highlight and expand aspects like music, design, art, and food in a more focused way at this year’s Festival.”

Greentopia is divided into three sections: Design, Music, and the Ecofest. On Friday, September 12, the festival will host the “From The Ground” Fashion Show (pictured), featuring works by Shawn Dunwoody and Athi Georgiou created from up-cycled and re-purposed materials. The show takes place 6 to 9 p.m. insides the High Falls Garage at Mill and Commercial Streets. Also part of the festival’s design aspect, “From the Gorge,” a photography exhibit featuring works from seven local photographers, will open Friday and run through Saturday.

On Saturday, September 13, Greentopia will present The Society for Chamber Music in Rochester; Eastman Saxophone Project; Rochester Lyric Opera, Village Idiots; Jeff Campbell’s Jazz All-Stars; Sankofa African Drum and Dance Ensemble; The Drum Circle From Genesee Valley Park; and other musical offerings. The Sound ExChange Project will perform three new pieces in conjunction with the Gorge Wall Video Projection, a large display of Rochester selfies (to submit your shot, use #greenrocselfies on Instagram). Saturday evening will find fire performances from A Different Spin, and a live painting exhibition from artist Mark Groaning.

The Ecofest will feature 5 vendors and exhibitors demonstrating green living tips and selling eco-friendly items. A new event, Artisanal Roc, will highlight local food, wine, artisans, and chefs at the Centers at High Falls (1 to 6 p.m.). Returning this year is the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Auto Show, hosting a dozen alternative fuel vehicles, and offering test-drives on select vehicles.

Greentopia’s Fall Festival is free — except for the “From the Ground” Fashion Show” and the Artisanal Food and Drink Expo.

THEATER | “THE PILLOWMAN”

The Irish playwright Martin McDonagh has some challenging (and satisfying) work to his credit, including the stage plays “The Beauty Queen of Leenane” and “The Lieutenant of Inishmaan,” and the movies “In Bruges” and “Seven Psychopaths.” But his most profoundly disturbing work may be “The Pillowman.” Life imitates art imitating life in McDonagh’s twisty study of a writer living in a totalitarian state, who is under interrogation as a suspect in a series of gruesome murders that reflect his own, grimmerthan-Grimm short stories about child abandonment, dismemberment, and death. “The Pillowman” is a challenging play, but it has been an international success.

The Basement Players’ last production was “Clue: The Musical,” but “The Pillowman” is definitely more intense: in fact it’s explicitly presented as “not for children.” But it may be a very thought-provoking evening for adults.

The Basement Players present “The Pillowman,” on Thursday, September 11, at 8 p.m., and Saturday, September 13, at 3 and 8 p.m. MuCCC, 142 Atlantic Ave. $8 in advance, $10 at the door.

Art Heroics and horrors “New Ghosts for a New Age: Yoshitoshi’s ‘New Forms of 36 Ghosts’” THROUGH NOVEMBER 30 LOCKHART GALLERY, MEMORIAL ART GALLERY, 500 UNIVERSITY AVENUE WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY: 11 P.M. TO 5 P.M.; THURSDAY: 11 A.M. TO 9 P.M. | $5-$12 | 276-8900; MAG.ROCHESTER.EDU [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

When the long-isolated Japanese society was opened to the West in 1868, fundamental shifts in the social structure, politics, military, and economy transpired. Master woodcut artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi was an eyewitness to the conflict and change, and while many artists of his day reflected these shifts, Yoshitoshi spent his final years immortalizing Japan’s history and stories. The Memorial Art Gallery recently opened “New Ghosts for a New Age: Yoshitoshi’s ‘New Forms of 36 Ghosts,’” featuring color woodblock prints from the Arthur R. Miller collection. If you’re over the tried-and-true haunts this Halloween, this show provides plenty of eerie, old, new-to-you lore to keep the imagination stoked.

MAG Curator of European Art Nancy Norwood has paired each masterful, intricate print — depicting ghosts, demons, and monsters drawn from ancient legends, history, and theater of Japan — with extensive captions that provide insight into the folklore these vignettes are drawn from, and shed light on symbols characteristic of old Japanese culture.

The beautifully-crafted prints depict exciting and moving stories presented in theatrical gestures, interesting perspectives, and atmospheric settings. Classically trained in centuries-old printing techniques, Yoshitoshi packs each scene with bits of visual interest. He urged even more detail from his already meticulous depiction of textiles by embossing intricate patterns into the paper, and with nearly transparent methods of printing to affect the appearance of mist, shadows, and apparitions.

Yoshitoshi’s work contains as much metamorphosis as Ovid’s poetry does. Almost

nothing is what it seems — a beautiful woman is the spying spirit of a cherry tree, determined to learn a set of evil plans; a demon sneaks up on a hero at rest, disguised as an elegant lady — and the truth can only be detected through indirect means.

36 CITY SEPTEMBER 10-16, 2014

In the 1889 print, “Omori Hikoshichi Encountering a Demon,” the subject carries a beautiful woman out over moon-lit water, where he detects the shape of horns in her reflection. Yoshitoshi has captured the moment before Omori slays the demon: His furious face possesses terrifying resolve as he looks up at her from the revelatory pool.

Just as demons are exposed by their reflections, animals posing as humans are often sold out by their animal-shaped shadows. And here, as in many western tales, animals may take human form to become the companion of a human for a time, as in the 1889 print, “Heron Maiden.” In this serene work, which rests in stark contrast with the violent prints surrounding it, downy snow clumps fall and great birds fly in a soft gray atmosphere around the maiden’s elegantly posed figure.

Other works offer simple brushes with the supernatural: Foxfire guides a star-crossed lover to safety as she works to preserve the life of her beloved; and military heros debate with mountain spirits. Downright strange encounters with the wilder elements include a monstrous, mother-devouring carp, and in the 1891 print, “Ranmaru and the Mysterious Sago Palm,” we see what would happen if a nature not at our mercy became fed up with our abuses. Ranmaru is lucky the locomotive plant is only running away.

In the 1892 work, “Minamoto no Yorimitsu Striking at the Ground Spider,” the beast is almost comically disturbing in its anthropomorphized appearance, but is terrifying nonetheless. Claws and rows of curving, sharp teeth threaten, a subtle web behind it frames a face dominated by bulging, yellow eyes, and the spider holds a gossamer sheet over our hero, who is about to draw his blade.

Oddly enough, the ghost stories are the least strange, but can be startling or full of sorrow. A

travelling poet-priest, squatting in a melancholy, abandoned house, offends two insubstantial poet-shades by offering a verse for the work they are discussing. When ghosts are depicted as more than dense shadows, they have no feet — they appear to us but do not dwell here.

In addition to transformation, revenge is a frequent secondary theme. The 1890 work, “Kiyohime Changing into a Serpent at Hidaka River,” depicts the result of unrequited love. The scorned woman is shown stepping onto the shore, with dripping tresses and a hunched, elongating back.

Some images deal with premonitions and visions of horror. In the 1890 work, “The Autumn Wind Blows…” an exiled poet-prince

The 1890 print, “Kiyohime Changing into a Serpent at Hidaka River,” is one of 36 featured in the Memorial Art Gallery’s current spotlight on the work of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi. PHOTO PROVIDED

calmly casts his lost gaze out a window, where he imagines that he sees the skull of his beloved amid a wasted garden.

Created the same year, “Kiyomori Sees Hundreds of Skulls at Fukuhara” depicts a man disturbed from rest, sitting upright with his hand on his hilt. Tortured by reverie of his own ruthlessness, the immoral Kiyomori stares out the window at not hundreds, but one large skull, which confronts him with wide, hugely dilated eyes, as if seeing all of his sins.

The skull, actually comprised of snow-covered rocks and bushes, and the two dark handles of his screen door, is a product of a heavy conscience’s hallucination.

The 1892 image, “The Yotsuya Ghost Story” contains no premonition, but a signal to the audience of what’s to come. Instead

of illustrating the terrors from this wellknown kabuki play, Yoshitoshi emphasizes the beauty and love of the doomed character as she nurses her son in peace. But a subtle serpent-shaped sash slithers up to her, hinting at impending horror.

I snorted at the 1890 “Tametomo’s Ferocity Drives Away the Smallpox Demons,” in which disease is personified as fiends which look like infected people. Amid all of this fantasy, the downright implausibility of threatening an illness with a bow and arrow was the only image that got me to scoff. Apparently I’m down with fox maidens mothering human babies, and grateful badgers turning themselves into discontented teapots. But disease caused by demons? Get out.

THEATER | “ORDINARY DAYS”

Adam Gwon’s 2007 musical “Ordinary Days” is a “New York show” for everybody. The cast consists of four characters — two couples — whose lives intertwine in a single day in New York City that turns out not to be so ordinary. Gwon’s celebration of everyday miracles and the search for meaning in one’s life was greeted by New York critics with phrases like “quietly affecting,” “idiosyncratic charm,” and “arrestingly poetic.” The Gatesinger Company Ltd., who put on several shows each year in the 150-year-old Gates Hall on Lake Road in Pultneyville, are presenting this intriguing, small-scale, new show, and it sounds like a fantastic choice for a beautiful, small-scale, old theater. Ordinary Days should be well worth an early-fall weekend drive for the theatrically adventurous.

Gatesingers Company Ltd. presents “Ordinary Days,” Friday, September 12, through Sunday, September 14, at Gates Hall, 4107 Lake Road, Pultneyville. $10-$12. 315-589-3326, gateshall.com. — BY DAVID RAYMOND

Hell beneath the streets of Paris “As Above, So Below”

some extraordinary and scary events, often shown through deliberately amateurish technique and (R), DIRECTED BY JOHN ERICK DOWDLE faked found footage, seems at least superficially NOW PLAYING like real life, then those events obviously heighten the level of suspense and terror. [ REVIEW ] BY GEORGE GRELLA The new movie, “As Above, So Below,” looks something like a compendium of previous works “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” of 1974 (remade in the genre. It borrows much of its manner and four times so far, incidentally) probably initiated matter from an odd combination of pictures — obthe idea of the faux documentary as a basis for viously “The Blair Witch Project,” and its imitators, the horror film. Possibly more influential, if more but also a couple of non-horror flicks, “The Da crudely made, the brilliantly marketed “Blair Vinci Code” and “National Treasure.” Though Witch Project” solidified the concept, inspiring again pretending to be a sort of documentary, it a number of later movies — the “Paranormal often looks as slick as any Hollywood product.

Activity” franchise, for example, now frightens a The movie begins with a confused series whole new generation of fans. If the premise of of events in some Iranian tunnels, where a young female archaeologist explores a forbidden site, an expedition that ends in explosions and destruction.

that she has more degrees than a thermometer and knows four spoken languages and two dead ones. She asks an old friend, George (Ben Feldman), to translate an inscription in Aramaic, one of the dead ones she doesn’t know, which enables her to embark on the same mission that obsessed her late father, the search for the Philosopher’s Stone.

That mythical object, which belongs in the same category as the Holy Grail, possesses transmutational powers, notably able to change lead into gold. Like a real scholar, however, Scarlett seeks not lucre but learning, the truth that will justify her father’s supposedly lunatic quest. The Aramaic inscription, coupled with an ancient map, identifies the location of the Stone somewhere in the catacombs beneath the streets of Paris.

Scarlett enlists a crew of Parisian cave explorers

familiar with the catacombs, and the gang, along with Benji, all equipped with miniature video cameras, descends into the caverns, proceeding, sometimes on a pavement of human bones, through an endless series of narrow apertures, tunnels, wells, even underwater passages. Along the way they encounter numerous strange phenomena — evidence of human habitation, a spooky choir, a ringing telephone, a crusted piano that still plays, the preserved corpse of a medieval knight, and a whole new batch of cryptic inscriptions and symbols guiding them toward the Stone.

WEEKEND PLANNER AWESOME THINGS TO DO THIS WEEKEND

Food for thought “The Trip to Italy” (NR), DIRECTED BY MICHAEL WINTERBOTTOM OPENS FRIDAY AT THE LITTLE THEATRE AND PITTSFORD CINEMA [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

As in “The Da Vinci Code” and “National Treasure,” the crew pauses for readings of all the signs, with learned interpretations by Scarlett and George. Some of the signs lead them astray, so at times they travel in circles, diving into the same waters, clambering up the same rocky slopes, rappelling down the same wells, digging through the same walls, repeating the same moments of shock.

As any pale and trembling veteran of the genre knows full well, nothing good will happen when a group of young people go somewhere they shouldn’t, which in “As Above, So Below” means that some of Scarlett’s crew will suffer more than others, that worse things than shock await them in the depths of the catacombs. Other dangers demand seemingly superhuman efforts by some of the others, including some foolhardy and, despite the documentary context, quite unbelievable stunts.

Despite the countless frights that Scarlett and her gang confront in this dark journey through the bowels of the City of Light, this literal descent into a Hell right out of Dante, the greatest horror of them all grows out of the path they take. The overpowering constriction of the labyrinth they must negotiate to achieve Scarlett’s quest constitutes an acutely and terrifyingly claustrophobic nightmare. Perhaps the scariest moment of all in fact occurs when the chubby Benji, crawling over a river of bones, finds himself stuck, unable to go forward or back, and panics.

The picture needs no fake documentary to create that horror — that’s real enough for anyone.

In 2010’s “The Trip,” British comedians Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon played slightly fictionalized versions of themselves (Coogan, the philandering gadabout and Brydon, the happily married family man) on a road trip tour across the Northern English countryside, engaging in humorous conversations — and dueling Michael Caine impressions — while reviewing highend restaurants for The Observer.

Written and directed by Michael Winterbottom, the project aired as a BBC television miniseries, but was condensed into a single film for American audiences.

The film mainly functioned as an excuse for the two funnymen to riff off one another in a perpetual game of comedic one-upmanship while gorging themselves on plate after plate of mouthwatering food.

The result was a combination of comedy, travelogue, and food porn, and watching it was just as enjoyable as that description implies. Now comes the sequel, “The Trip To Italy,” which sees the men taking a similar tour through (obviously) Italy, cruising around the country to the sounds of Alanis

Morissette’s “Jagged Little Pill” (the only music the men brought with them), and while the film doesn’t mess with the formula too much, even more of the same makes for worthwhile entertainment.

The roles of the two men are slightly reversed this time around: Brydon enjoys an upswing in his career, landing an audition for the latest Michael Mann film and engaging in an extramarital affair with a pretty tour guide, while Coogan frets over his fractured relationship with his teenage son. As with the first film, “The Trip to Italy” balances inspired silliness with quieter, bittersweet moments as the men admit their constant apprehensions about aging, their careers and the legacy they’ll leave behind.

Winterbottom isn’t afraid to let Coogan and Brydon be unlikeable — they frequently come across as obnoxious buffoons — yet they somehow remain sympathetic, their many faults allowing them to feel utterly human. We still care about what happens to them. The balance of light with a touch of darkness makes “The Trip to Italy” a bit meatier than it otherwise might have been, though it never strays too far from its main purpose of being hilarious. I’d even be up for more adventures from Brydon and Coogan, confronting their middle-aged anxieties and jaunting off in search of the next great culinary delight.

Coming Attractions

This Friday marks the opening night of the 1st Annual Rochester Recovery Film Festival. Under the guidance of Festival Director David Attridge, the event will present a diverse selection of narrative features, documentary films, and shorts, all with a focus on educating and raising awareness about the disease of addiction.

Held on the MCC campus, the festival kicks off Friday morning at 10 a.m. with a Recovery Career Fair, which is open to the general public. A movie theater-

themed Opening Night party will follow, leading up the first night’s lineup of films, consisting of the faith-based indie drama “King’s Faith” at 7 p.m., followed by the short film “Rock Bottom,” and the feature documentary “Cocaine Cowboys.” Film screenings will continue throughout the weekend. The Rochester Recovery Film Festival runs through Sunday, September 14, and will conclude with an award presentation honoring legendary rock musician (and Rochester native) Lou Gramm and journalist Scott Pitoniak.

Weekend passes and individual day passes can be purchased through the festival’s website, rochesterrecoveryfilmfestival. org, where you can also find a full schedule of the weekend’s events.

Also on Friday, the Little Theatre is teaming up with local independent record label Strange Disc Records to host a one-time only showing of the cultclassic B-movie “Surf Nazis Must Die” in a glorious 35mm film presentation.

The screening celebrates the debut of the film’s previously unreleased score in a brand-new vinyl release. The album is the first release from Strange Disc Records, who specialize in film soundtracks and related material.

“Surf Nazis Must Die” is set in a postapocalyptic California where gangs of Neo-Nazi surf punks control the coasts.

When an innocent man is murdered by the beachside fiends, his gun-toting grandmother breaks out of her nursing home in order to exact her bloody revenge.

Yes, it’s just about as nutty as it sounds.

Despite the dubious quality of the film itself, it’s developed of passionate fan-base since its release in 1987, and composer Jon McCallum’s synth-heavy score is frequently mentioned as a film highlight.

“Surf Nazis Must Die” will screen Friday, September 12, 9:30 p.m. Tickets to the film will cost $8, and copies of the record, along with limited edition posters, will be available for purchase at the screening.

Steps from Seneca Park

18 Navarre Road

How many people do you know who can say they live just steps from a park designed by renowned landscape architect, Frederick Law Olmsted? Future owners of 18 Navarre Road: let it be known that you can make this claim once you move into this house, located just off St. Paul Blvd in the 14621 neighborhood.

Why is this such an impressive claim, you ask? An Olmsted-designed park is truly a thing of beauty; it provides a naturalized space for relaxation, reflection, and exercise; it renews the soul. In Rochester, we’re lucky enough to have three large parks (and some smaller squares) designed by the Olmsted firm. Seneca Park is the most dramatic, with plunging views of the River gorge and a forested landscape with trails. As an added bonus, the El Camino Trail, which takes you almost all the way to downtown, is also steps away. Navarre Road is an attractive tree-lined street filled with well-maintained homes.

The home at 18 Navarre Rd. is a 1920s Colonial Revival style house with 1,664 square feet and two bedrooms. Perfect for a young couple, a small family, or a single adult, the home has a comforting, cozy feel to it. Hardwood Rochester floors are present throughout and much of the woodwork (including the doors) remains unpainted.

The living room, lit by a large bay window, welcomes you into the house. It opens to a dining room (currently used as an additional sitting room) with a cute little alcove that could hold a china cabinet, a

buffet, or a loveseat for a comfy spot to drink your morning coffee. Off the dining room is a special bonus—a converted three-season room, which leads to a first floor laundry room and a full bath. This bonus room could easily function as a home office, den, or even a small bedroom.

Also off the dining room, the kitchen has plenty of counter and cabinet space as well as a small breakfast bar.

Upstairs is a good-sized master bedroom (converted from two smaller bedrooms), the second bedroom, an enclosed sleeping porch, and a second full bath, this one with a clawfoot tub. The unfinished attic provides room for storage or potential for conversion into a third bedroom.

The outside of the property doesn’t disappoint either. Off the kitchen is a deck with a view of the tidy little backyard— just the right amount of space for a low maintenance, attractive retreat. The two-car garage next to the yard is a nice treat during Rochester’s snowy months.

18 Navarre Road is listed at $109,900 with Kay Carpenter of RE/MAX Plus. Contact Kay at 585-943-7111 to schedule your showing. And be sure to visit Seneca Park while you’re there!

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD

They Didn’t See This Coming?

(1) German Rolf Buchholz, who owns the Guinness Book world record for most body piercings (453), said he was upset to be denied entrance into United Arab Emirates in August to fulfill a performance of sorts at Dubai’s Fairmont Hotel. Buchholz said officials gave no explanation, although in addition to the piercings (example: at least 50 beads stuck to his lips), he has also implanted horns in his forehead. (2) Caius Veiovis, 33, is similarly concerned about his forehead horns. While preparing for trial in Hamden, Massachusetts, in a gruesome 2011 triple murder, he has decided to freshen up somewhat by removing the spikes from his nostrils, but still needs the judge’s help to warn prospective jurors not to presume guilt from his six horns.

incident was calmed only after al-Johari threw his chair at lawyer Saleh Khrais.

— From the Foreign Press: (1) After police issued a plea for help in July to identify the perpetrators of a porn movie filmed inside an Austrian church and in which actors’ faces were obscured, a serious fan of Austrian porn spoke up, naming the 24-yearold female lead. The nude breasts of the star, he said, were unmistakably those of “Babsi,” a popular actress, and she was subsequently charged with trespassing in the church. (2) Wilfred Mashaya told a magistrate in Harare, Zimbabwe, in June that he wanted to divorce his wife because, when they sleep together, “She would not even make any sexual sound” — which was, to him, unbearable. The magistrate took the case under advisement.

Compelling Explanations

— Not Our Fault: In July, two of the four fer-

The Continuing Crisis

— After several contestants in the 2013 world swimming championships in Barcelona, Spain, remarked that the racers in lanes 5 to 8 seemed to swim faster than those in lanes 1 to 4, two researchers investigated further and concluded, in July, that there was a rogue current on the lane-8 side of the pool. In fact, most of the losers swam in lane 1, and the lane 8 swimmers produced a glut of medals, and, wrote the researchers, a current would be “the only cause that we can propose to explain these findings.”

— The New Normal: In America, TV pundits merely shout at each other, but twice recently in Middle East TV debates, discussants have roughhoused on the air.

Journalist Shakir al-Johari was involved both times, on the Jordanian 7 Stars channel in May and on Dubai TV in July. In the first, the studio was wrecked, according to Al-Arabiya news service, and the latter

tilizer manufacturers operating in the vicinity of the April 2013 massive explosion and fire in West, Texas, filed motions contesting the city’s lawsuit against them. According to the companies, it was actually the city’s ill-trained first responders and volunteer firefighters who caused many of the injuries.

— A Matter of Scale: (1) Police in Cologne, Germany, wrote a bicycle-equipment infraction against Bogdan Ionescu in April because his bike had no right-side handlebar brake. But since Ionescu has no right arm, he fought the ticket, and in July received a police apology. (2) David Rainsford, 44, is contesting the fee charged for a routine eye exam by Specsavers in Cramlington, England. He wants a discount because he has no right eye. (However, Specsavers says Rainsford’s glass eye can pose risks for the good eye and that the area surrounding both eyes must be checked, as well.)

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 46 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Be a participant, and you will meet someone just as outspoken and aggressive as you. Let your exciting and adventurous mood take center stage for a performance that will have onlookers vying for your attention. A work-related event will invite both business and personal partnerships.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Step out on a limb and make the first move. Showing consistency and confidence will appeal to someone who will fit into your lifestyle perfectly. Socializing and short trips will both be conducive to falling in love.

Don’t feel you have to overspend to make an impression.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Relationship prospects will be filled with uncertainty. Ask and answer questions specific to what’s important to you in order to make a romantic move. Disillusionment regarding what someone is actually offering you is apparent.

Proceed with caution if you think you are being played.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Connecting with someone you share similar interests or a creative hobby with will lead to a special relationship. Sharing intimate moments at home will allow you to get to know more about each other’s background and personal goals, intentions and plans for the future.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Embrace and engage in exciting events, activities and travels.

Getting out and talking to people from different cultural backgrounds will give you greater insight into the possibilities that exist. Don’t feel pressured to be with someone who suits your family. Put love first and foremost.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Not everyone will be willing to disclose information about the past. You’ll have to ask direct questions and perhaps do your own personal investigation before you can be certain that what you see is what you get when it comes to a love interest.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Fickle, one-sided attractions will cloud your vision. Whether it’s you who cannot decide or someone giving you the run-around, it will be necessary to focus on what’s fair. Proper courting guidelines will help you avoid an emotional mishap that can lead to heartache.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A love connection with someone from an unusual background or quite unlike you will blossom.

You may intrigue each other at first, but eventually the same qualities that pull you together are likely to come between you. Proceed with caution and friendship first.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll entice potential partners with your savvy way of expressing yourself. Your desire for change will open up doors that lead to a connection to someone who has a higher standard of living than you. Don’t feel you have to keep up monetarily.

You cannot buy love.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Personal attractions will have both ups and downs. Understanding the emotions that someone inflicts on you will set you back, causing you to second-guess whether you want to move forward or walk away.

Make your decision based on actions, not words.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t feel you need a contractual arrangement with someone before you express your feelings.

Let your heart lead the way and your emotions take over. If there is something special between you and the object of your desires, it will play out in your favor.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You can ask, but that doesn’t mean you will get what you want. Settle for a realistic overview regarding how you can move forward with someone you have personal designs on getting to know better. Taking your time will help you cut through any misconception you’ve been given.
