Speak out now on tip credit law

In January, Governor Cuomo announced plans to examine and possibly eliminate the tip credit, the labor law that allows restaurants to pay tipped employees a minimum wage of $7.50, as opposed to $10.40, with the idea that tips from customers will make up the difference. And they surely do. If tips don’t add up to the $10.40 wage, the employer must pay the difference.

This tip credit system has allowed the American restaurant industry to thrive and grow, while keeping menu prices low and incentivizing good service. Tipped employees fare exceptionally well under this system, by far out earning their kitchen counterparts, and often management and owners.

They didn’t ask for this change.

But the well-funded labor organization ROC United has been whispering in the governor’s ear that women who work for tips are harassed, mistreated, and live in poverty, citing data that defies common sense, and conflating tipping with the #MeToo movement.

They also claim that minorities and immigrants are regularly discriminated against by owners, managers, and customers. I suspect, with good reason, that their goal is to ultimately unionize the industry, and abolishing tips is the starting point. But as a Hispanic woman business owner, a mother, and a liberal, I dispute these claims.

These things undoubtedly occur, and there are certainly unethical owners and nasty managers and customers, but to punish my business, and every other honest, hard-working restaurant owner I know, for the crimes and bad behavior of a few,

is grossly unfair. We would all be better served if the governor focused the labor department’s attention on punishing those who commit these egregious acts.

I own The Gate House Café in Rochester with my husband Michael, and we’ve been fighting the governor’s initiative since February, when Maggie Raczynski, a brilliant bartender from an Outback Steakhouse in the Albany area, formed the Facebook group Supporters of the Tip Credit in NY, now 23,000 people and growing. This groups consists primarily of tipped employees, who are wise enough to be concerned about their livelihoods and angry enough to fight back.

Most of them experienced the last hike in 2016, when the wage went from $5.50 to $7.50. This was a brutal hit for the industry, a $2 per hour increase, per tipped employee. Everyone struggled, some didn’t make it, and some just barely survived.

The Gate House, even with a booming business, limped through 2016, trying to get those numbers right and absorb that increase without laying off too many people. We’re almost fully recovered, but to get there we had to eliminate a daytime bartender, busser, and server, with equal cuts to the dinner shift. We are consistently understaffed, and the customers can feel it, but we are determined to find a way to continue to employ the 50 souls who depend on us for a paycheck.

Today I attempt try to educate the people of Monroe County on the issue, and to plead with my fellow restaurant people to mobilize. The governor’s public hearings examining the matter are ending soon; the last one is in Manhattan on June 27th, and written testimony can be submitted on the labor department’s website until July 1.

I’ve been to three hearings, and while I’ve seen intense pushback from Saratoga Springs, Albany, Syracuse, and Binghamton, Rochester has been oddly silent.

Are my peers not concerned?

I’ve seen no local coverage, no opinion pieces, nothing at all from Rochester except a handful of passionate servers and owners driving around the state pleading for mercy at the hearings.

I now ask my fellow restaurant owners and industry people to stand up and be heard. Our time is running out. Complacency isn’t going to work, nor is letting others fight the battle for you. We are strength in numbers, and every one of your voices are crucial to our success!

RBTL’s theater won’t hurt others

I just can’t wrap my mind around the mentality of those who oppose a new RBTL venue on the basis that it “may,” “might,” or “will possibly” affect the smaller arts in a negative way.

I just keep coming back to two words: Boo and Hoo. I mean, seriously. What is it about this city that makes us fight against having really nice things? Is it a collective selfesteem issue that reproduces like lilacs? Something in the Genesee water or beer? A side effect from our garbage (plates), perhaps?

I mean no disrespect to any of the smaller art venues and promotions. But if you can’t sustain your own existence without holding back progress, then you’re no more than a vanity company and shouldn’t be around in the first place. That’s simply not the case for many of these groups. Like those, pesky genetically engineered movie dinos, art finds a way. Most of these “endangered” arts programs will be just fine.

And let me be honest. I, and I’m not alone, love the Auditorium Theatre as a building.

I just don’t love going there to see a show. And there are a lot of people who, for whatever reason, don’t go to Blackfriars or Geva or the Downstairs Cabaret.

Preventing a beautiful new theatre won’t magically make those people start going to any of those places. But not having one will prevent thousands from attending the arts, and that’s the real tragedy if this project doesn’t come to fruition.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Making America great: Trump, children… and jazz The Trump administration’s family separation policy has exposed, yet again, the danger of electing a narcissistic president who doesn’t read, believes governing is simple, and is a master at hate-filled rhetoric.

Apparently Trump’s base is perfectly happy with his immigration policy. But images of crying children – and the public’s reaction to the images – have unsettled even some of Trump’s collaborators and enablers.

And it has caused such chaos and outrage that the administration is now trying to undo it. As news reports are making clear, though, it’s not going to be easy to find and reunite the families who have already been ripped apart. And their psychological trauma won’t magically disappear.

In addition, reunited families will be detained until their cases are heard, and the government is ill-prepared to house them humanely. Humaneness has never been a concern for this administration, but in an article in The American Prospect, Adele Stan suggests that there’s more to this policy than we might recognize.

“The demonstrated brutality of taking these children from their parents and sending them to internment camps,” Stan writes, makes his base happy. But we should also see it as a warning. It’s the “dominance display” of an authoritarian.

“If he would traumatize children and babies in order to make a point (even if the stated point shifts daily),” Stan writes, “imagine what he could do, without conscience, to any one of us.”

The lesson of the immigrant families’ plight, says Stan, is that “people who would do such a thing to babies are very dangerous.”

Is Stan going too far? I’d like to think so. I hope so. And yet, Trump’s behavior is becoming more and more that of a despot, not the president of a democratic nation. His rhetoric, his repetitive lies, his obsession with his image and his strength, his admiration and embrace of brutal dictators like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-Un: these are way more than worrisome.

And then on Sunday morning, the president of the United States tweeted this: “When somebody comes in, we must immediately, with no Judges or Court Cases, bring them back from where they came. Our system is a mockery to good immigration policy and Law and Order.”

No judges. No court cases. No rule of law. To paraphrase Adele Stan, if he will do this to families fleeing the violence

Donald Trump’s behavior is becoming more and more that of a despot, not the president of a democratic nation.” they suffered in Central America, imagine what he could do without conscience to any one of us.

We’re halfway through this year’s version of the Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival, and the International part of its name is particularly important right now. It’s always a joy to spend these nine afternoons and nights in the midst of the happy mob that the festival brings downtown each year. But this year, the festival has also been an important refuge, away from the protectionist, nativist path that Donald Trump is leading us down.

Saturday night, the Max Atrium was packed for the initial performance by the Canadian gypsy jazz group Des Sourcils.

“Thank you for coming out,” guitarist Mathias Berry said. “We didn’t know what to expect.” He mentioned the border and Customs and said the group had been a little nervous about planning the trip.

I bet they were.

Such is the state of things, now that we have a president who believes that the way to make America great is to turn our backs on the rest of the world (except maybe on Russia).

“Music has no color,” festival’s producer and artistic director John Nugent said between shows Saturday night as we talked about the contrast between the festival’s lineup and Trump’s policies.

No color, and no boundaries. No walls.

“We’d like to come back again,” Berry said as Des Sourcils wrapped up its set. I hope they can. But who knows what things will be like after another year of Trump. rochestercitynewspaper.com

Events support independence for Puerto Rico

The issue of whether Puerto Rico should pursue statehood or independence from the US has a complicated history. Paul Figueroa, who once lived in Rochester, is an organizer for the Puerto Rican Independence Party. And he hopes a series of events in July will build more awareness about conditions on the island and why his party is pushing for independence.

The island is now dealing with crushing debt, a sharp increase in the cost of living, a lack of basic infrastructure to deliver water and electricity in many parts of the island, and an outward migration of its skilled class, Figueroa says.

The Independence Party’s events in Rochester are being coordinated with events in other locations, such as New York City, Figueroa says.

Here they will include a “Die-in Protest” at 2 p.m. Sunday, July 15, at 100 State Street; “Free Puerto Rico,” a lecture on independence, at 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 18, at the Flying Squirrel Community Space, 285 Clarissa Street; a “Free Puerto Rico” protest at 5 p.m. Wednesday, July

Cobbs Hill vote delayed – again

City Council was expected to vote last week on legislation allowing Rochester Management to redevelop Cobbs Hill Village Apartments, but the legislation is still being held in Council’s Neighborhood and Business Development Committee. No reason was given for delaying a vote on the project.

A vote had first been expected at Council’s May meeting Rochester Management wants to demolish the 60-unit complex for low-income seniors and replace it with 104 units of affordable senior housing. Opponents have filed a lawsuit against the city in state Supreme Court to stop the project. A court date is set for late July.

Rochester Management says the buildings are dated and renovations wouldn’t be cost-effective. After the City Planning Commission voted in favor of the Rochester Management proposal, Mayor Lovely Warren sent legislation to City Council asking for its approval.

JUSTICE | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

City Hall: Lawyers disagree on police oversight reform City Council, which is continuing to look for ways to improve system for handling citizen complaints about police actions, now has two legal opinions to consider. But the opinions, one from attorneys at Harris Beach law firm and the other from the city’s own law department, are contradictory, so Council’s job hasn’t gotten any easier.

At the urging of a large coalition of local activists, Council is considering

establishing a new Police Accountability Board to review the complaints against police and possibly determine discipline.

Rochester’s current Civilian Review Board is involved in the reviews, but it has limited power and can’t be involved in discipline. Police officers in the RPD’s Professional Standards Section also review complaints, and the police chief makes the final decisions, both about whether a complaint is justified and what

discipline is imposed, if any. And those decisions are not made public.

Police have insisted that both state law and their collective bargaining agreement protect the privacy of their personnel records and require that the police chief make decisions about discipline. But police-reform activists say that’s a misreading of state law.

Earlier this year, Council asked Harris Beach law firm to provide an opinion on whether a Police continues on page 8

A report from the International Joint Commission says no management plan would have stopped last year’s severe Lake Ontario flooding. Snowmelt and extreme amounts of rain across the entire Lake Ontario and St. Lawrence River drainage basin were to blame, IJC representatives said.

ENVIRONMENT | BY JEREMY MOULE

IJC: weather caused Lake Ontario’s flooding About that flooding along Lake Ontario’s shore’s last year: blame it on the rain. And the melting snow, too.

Last week the International Joint Commission, the binational organization that manages water bodies shared by Canada and the US, released a report on the causes of last year’s epic flooding.

And the conclusions are sure to infuriate landowners and politicians across Niagara, Orleans, Monroe, and Wayne Counties, who wanted nothing more than to blame the inundation on the IJC — and organization they often speak of with scorn — and its water management framework for Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River, Plan 2014.

But during a June 21 webinar, IJC representatives explained that no management plan would have stopped the flooding. The problem, they said, lies with snowmelt followed by extreme amounts of rain across the entire Lake Ontario and St. Lawrence River drainage basin.

A video the IJC released in advance of the report lays it all out in plain terms. Between January and March 2017, combined snowmelt and heavy rain cause the lake to rise two feet above the average level for that time of the

year. Then in April and May, which the video says were two of the wettest months on record, levels rose another two and a half feet. Over that period, Rochester received around 10 inches of rain and Buffalo received almost 13 inches . That rise in Lake Ontario’s level was more than double the average springtime increase, the video says.

The IJC says it generally increased outflows from the lake into the St. Lawrence via the Moses-Saunders dam as Ontario’s waters rose. But it also had to deal with periodically raging flows from the Ottawa River, which created flooding problems along the St. Lawrence. Thousands of people had to be evacuated from areas around Montreal, the video says.

And at one point in the early spring, water regulators had to deal with ice on the St. Lawrence that, if not treated properly, could have broken apart and formed ice jams. And that, in turn, would have prevented water from flowing out of Lake Ontario into the St. Lawrence.

Tony David, a member of the IJC’s Lake Ontario - St. Lawrence River Board, explained that Plan 2014 is not a rigid lake-levels plan. It can help

mitigate flooding but “it cannot prevent major floods from happening,” he said during the IJC’s webinar.

David and fellow board member Arun Heer, secretary of the US Army Corps of Engineers’ Great Lakes and Ohio River Division, said that lakefront communities should be looking at coastal resiliency measures and

developing plans. Among the issues local governments should consider are land use policies and decisions, they said.

David and Heer said they can’t definitively link last year’s precipitation and flooding to climate change, but that climate change will likely influence future conditions that could result in extreme low and high water levels.

NEIGHBORHOODS | BY JAKE CLAPP

Nuisance Abatement Law gets an overhaul Music blaring from a neighboring rental house… suspected drug sales at a corner store… fights outside of a nightclub….

Living and working in a city has plenty of advantages, including the proximity of businesses, cultural offerings, and people, all of it adding convenience as well as richness and diversity to life. But that closeness can also breed tension.

For years, Rochester officials have tried to balance the needs of its residents and its businesses, hoping to support the quality of life of people who live here while also encouraging the businesses and entertainment venues that make a city worth living in.

One of the ways it has done that is through its Nuisance Abatement Law, which gives city officials a way to clamp down on problem properties and businesses. The law, which was established in 1985, has been amended several times. But over the years, critics have said that it’s been applied unfairly; that businesses are penalized for the actions of their patrons; that the law doesn’t really remedy the sources of the nuisance, just shuffles things around to different neighborhoods; and that it has lasting human consequences when people are evicted.

Responding to those concerns, city officials have spent the past several years wrestling with concerns about the law and how it’s been applied. The city hired Strategic Community Intervention, former Mayor Bill Johnson’s consulting firm, to review the law and met with neighborhood associations, business and property owners, and others.

And last week City Council approved significant changes to the law. The new legislation passed with a vote of 6 to 3, with Councilmembers Mitchell Gruber, Jacklyn Ortiz, and Elaine Spaull voting against it.

Officials have been in a delicate position with the nuisance law, because it impacts a large part of living and working in a city. Mini markets, apartments, music venues, restaurants, and any number of other businesses and properties can be issued nuisance points when a violation occurs.

Previously, a property or business where a violation occurred could be assigned 3, 4, or 6 points, depending on the type of offense.

If a location received 12 nuisance points within six months or 18 nuisance points within 12 months, it would be deemed a public nuisance and would 6 CITY

risk having the city take serious action.

That could include closing the building, suspending or revoking any city-issued business license, and suspending the eligibility for city grants.

The new legislation revises that point system. Violations involving firearms and other dangerous weapons and those involving the sale of controlled substances – including cannabis – are assigned 10 points. All other violations are now 6 points.

The legislation establishes a waiver process, through which the city’s Neighborhood Service Centers (Left) Councilmember Jacklyn Ortiz voted against the recent changes to Rochester's Nuisance Abatement will work with property owners and businesses to correct the nuisance-point Law.

adequately protected. Tenants aren’t given notice of the assessment of nuisance points and they aren’t asked to participate in meetings to discuss an abatement plan.

“Our concern around that is there have been reports across the nation that indicate when building owners and landlords work with a city to abate a nuisance, the most common way is by evicting tenants,” says Scout Katovich, an NYCLU legal fellow.

• Rochester’s abatement law has a carveout to protect victims of crime, including domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, or sexual abuse, by not assigning points to a property when the violation involves a victim who is connected to that property. But the way the law is phrased, Katovich says, it attaches protections when there is a victim. Some violations, like breaking a noise ordinance, are so-called “victimless” crimes, and it’s possible those protections won’t be implemented, even if the situation was caused by a domestic violence incident.

• While the proposed legislation creates an innocent-owner defense, it still puts the burden of proof on the property owner or tenants. It should be the city’s responsibility, the NYCLU says, to show that the points were not assessed against innocent parties or victims.

• Based on a June 2017 court decision against the Town of Groton in Tompkins County, Rochester’s nuisance law violates a person’s right to petition the government (by calling the police) because it “authorizes the imposition of penalties based on criminal activity or other offenses, which generally come to the attention of Rochester through 911 calls and police reports,” the NYCLU’s letter says. That creates a chilling effect, the NYCLU says, and keeps people from calling the police.

• Katovich also says that the city has applied the nuisance law frequently, and that there has been more enforcement in communities of color.

Nuisance ordinances “are never a good idea,” Katovich says. “They don’t solve the problems. They only end up hurting people who are already vulnerable. And I would suggest that Rochester think about what are the issues it’s really trying to get at, and what are the other tools it already has in its wheelhouse that could do a better job at getting at those problems.”

Councilmember Michael Patterson, chair of Council’s Neighborhood and Business Development Committee, says he believes the nuisance law is a working document. “It may well be open to amendment at a later point in time,” he says, “once we’ve had a chance to review the impact and see how it’s working.”

Advisory Board could legally have the power to discipline officers.

In an opinion delivered to City Council President Loretta Scott, Harris Beach said that an advisory board could indeed have that power: “We have concluded that the proposed PAB may be legally empowered to discipline police officers,” its opinion said, “provided that certain amendments are made to the Charter of the City of Rochester that delegate such authority to the PAB.” But the city’s Law Department pushed back. In a letter from Corporation Counsel Timothy Curtin, the department said City Council shouldn’t rely on the Harris Beach opinion because it misreads a proposed ordinance to establish the board, it doesn’t adequately consider the weight of the collective bargaining agreement between the City and the police union, and it doesn’t consider the state’s civil service law.

Last week, as she released both the Harris Beach opinion and the city law department’s response, Scott said Council will consider those opinions “and use them to inform the development of a new Police Advisory Board.”

In a statement Friday afternoon, the executive committee for the Police Accountability Board Alliance – which has been pushing for major reform of Rochester’s police oversight system – said it agrees with the Harris Beach opinion.

“Although Corporation Counsel claims that the Taylor Law and the Rochester Police Locust Club collective bargaining agreement prevent changes to the police disciplinary process,” the PABA statement says, “Corporation Counsel fails to address the New York State Court of Appeals cases from 2008 to 2017 which have allowed other New York municipalities to change police disciplinary processes despite conflicting bargaining agreements.”

“While the various legal details, a possible referendum, and changes to the City Charter are important,” the statement says, “it is also important to stay focused on the fact City Council has the legal authority to establish a Police Accountability Board with disciplinary power.”

The executive committee’s statement was signed by Pastor Wanda Wilson, Dr. Gayle Harrison, Matt DeLaus, and Ted Forsyth. The committee plans to release more detailed response soon, Forsyth says.

URBAN ACTION This week’s calls to action include the following events and activities. (All are free and open to the public, unless otherwise noted.)

Rally protests Trump actions on immigration

Rochester-area activists opposing the Trump administration’s anti-immigration policies will hold a “Families Belong Together” rally on Saturday, June 30. Participants will be protesting the practice of separating children and families and housing them in tents and on military bases. The rally will be held in Washington Square Park, downtown Rochester, at 3 p.m.

Facing the facts about America

The Moving Beyond Racism Book Group will meet on Monday, July 2, to discuss Michael Eric Dyson’s “Tears We Cannot Stop: a Sermon to White Ameri-

ca.” In the book, Dyson asks white Americans to end their defensiveness and what he calls the willful denial of history.

If white America can’t let go of its mythological history and recognize its role in one of the worst atrocities ever recorded, we may never become a whole and functioning society, Dyson says. The event will be held at Barnes and Noble, Pittsford Plaza, at 7 p.m.

Seeking a word with Rep. Collins

Members of the Genesee Valley Citizens for Peace will gather at the Geneseo office of Representative Chris Collins on July 3, seeking a meeting with him. Their goal: to discuss what he’s doing to help reunite families recently separated at the US-Mexico border. They’ve asked for a meeting at 4 p.m. but say they haven’t received a response.

They plan to continue to gather at his office, at 128

Main Street in Geneseo, every Tuesday at 4 p.m. until they’re able to meet with him, and they’re inviting his constituents from the 27th District join them.

Bridging divides over ice cream

The Seeds of Hope of Rochester Pachamama Alliance will hold a Rochester community ice cream social on Sunday, July 1, focused on the theme, “What Does Being an American Mean to You?” Participants are asked to take someone from a different background or political position with them to explore questions like “Has your sense of being an American changed over time?”

Organizers hope to help bridge political divides, recognizing people as individuals rather than representatives of particular positions on controversial issues. The event will be held outside at Asbury United Methodist Church, 1010 East Avenue, at 2 p.m.

Jetty at the Port (1000 North River Street)

in Charlotte has already been open for two summers, but recently, changes have been made both aesthetically and to the menu that have transitioned the establishment from fine dining to a more casual, beachy feel.

Jetty at the Port is owned by Craig Ristuccia, who also owns Hose 22 Firehouse Grill, and overseen by operations director Erik Sorensen.

“We’re trying to bring it up from just a foot traffic location to a destination you would travel to,” says Sorensen.

Sorensen grew up in the Mid-Atlantic region and drew inspiration from the popular restaurant chain Chickie’s & Pete’s when it came to updating the menu at Jetty at the Port — specifically, the Seafood Boil Bucket ($19-$36).

“I thought that was really cool,” Sorensen says, “there’s nothing really like that up here — there’s seafood places that are more fine dining, but there’s not like a ‘put a bib on and get dirty with your seafood’ kind of place. We wanted to bring that experience here.”

All of the boils include a pound of steamed seafood (your choice of mussels, clams, or

snow crab), Italian sausage, salt potatoes, and corn on the cob, and can be served with your choice of sauce. The house “Creole” beer broil sauce is made with Samuel Adams Summer Ale and Creole spices that add a kick of heat.

The restaurant is located in the Port Terminal Building and boasts a giant patio with seating capacity for nearly 180 people. There’s also a bar and lounge area. Walls were knocked down and replaced with garage doors, offering more of a flow between outside and inside. The bar now extends outdoors as well, enhancing the beachy feel.

“We changed the focus from a restaurant with a bar to a bar with a restaurant,” Sorensen says. “We wanted to do something a little more casual, a little more laid back.” Flip-flops and beach shorts are welcomed here.

The beach vibe extends to the bar program, where you can order a Strawberry Daiquiri or a Basil Bourbon Iced Tea, made with house-made, basil-infused, iced black tea

and Jack Daniel’s Honey Bourbon. Happy hour is from 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesday through Friday; 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday; and all day Sunday. Specials include $2 off all frozen drinks and buckets of beer.

On Sundays, you’ll find $3 Mimosas and $5 Bloody Marys.

Jetty at the Port (1000 North River Street) is open Sunday from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Tuesday through Thursday, 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.; and Friday and Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.

621-2000; jettyattheport.com.

WXXI will premiere a new TV series, “Brewed in New York,” on Thursday, July 5, at 5 p.m. The first episode in the 13-part series will focus on Rochester breweries Genesee, Three Heads, and Swiftwater. More information at brewedinnewyorkshow.com.

If you missed the first Midtown EATS, you have five more opportunities: the event comes back Thursday, June 28, July 12 and July 26, and August 9 and August 23. Vendors serve lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and dinner from 5 to 9 p.m.

The events will be held rain or shine and take place on the pedestrian walkway that connects Broad Street and Elm Street, next to Tower280. Parking is free during event hours in the Midtown Garage. More information at midtownEatsROC.com.

Following up on our DISH guide to local food tours: Flower City Food Tours has added two new tours to the roster.

Thursday’s Park Ave: Shortest Distance to Walk Food Tour was developed for people who wanted less time on their feet (only two blocks) and stops at The Mad Hatter, Parkleigh, and The Red Fern. The other new tour, Early Evening: Tastings & Tapas tour in The Neighborhood of the Arts takes place on Thursdays and Fridays from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. and includes stops at seven locations in search of the happiest hours.

Tickets must be purchased in advance and can be found at flowercityfoodtours.com.

Rochester’s steel-tip darts community keeps throwing [ SPORTS FEATURE ] BY BRIAN GORDON

10 CITY JUNE 27 - JULY 3, 2018

Amy DeBruyne is Rochester's top-ranked woman steel-tip darts player. PHOTO BY RYAN WILLIAMSON

A

my DeBruyne flashes a middle finger to the board. “Darts is the goddamn stupidest game I’ve ever played,” she mutters. It’s a lie obvious to everyone huddled in the back of the Sunset Lanes bowling alley in Gates. The Women’s Singles Finals is prime viewing at the Rochester Open, the city’s most prestigious tournament for steel-tip darts.

“Get me a Jack-fire, chilled,” DeBruyne hollers to a friend. The city’s top-ranked female steel-tip player needs a steadying drink.

To a community of Rochesterians, darts is more than an amusement many sidestep on their way to order another drink at the bar. Local players put in hours of training and an uncountable number of throws to perfect the craft in weekly leagues and regional tournaments. The Rochester Open is the city’s Super Bowl of steel-tip darts, drawing the best throwers in and out of the region. The men

and women of steel-tip, like DeBruyne, talk proudly about the game’s rich connection to Rochester’s past yet lament the forces endangering the future of their favorite sport.

DeBruyne, a Henrietta resident, is playing 501, a common darts game. Each player begins with 501 points and attempts to shoot their way down to zero. The first thrower to lose all of their points wins. Values labeled 1 to 20 in varying order outline the board, with doubles and triples rings offering players thin targets to make grander deductions. When a player nears 0, they are required to hit the doubles ring to “close out” and win a match.

In the Final’s third and decisive leg, DeBruyne misfires, embedding her dart in the lowly 1-point segment, placed diabolically close to the valuable 20-point section. In darts, millimeters can mean miles. The difference between DeBruyne scoring a

60-point “triple 20” and a “fat” single 1-point is a sliver of space on a multi-colored cork board coated in authentic horse hair.

DeBruyne, a division manager on weekdays, shoots from the throwing oche (pronounced like hockey) 7 feet and 9-1/4 inches away. Unlike on a beer pong table, leaning over the oche is permissible, and DeBruyne takes full advantage, edging her right foot to the line before lifting a 24-gram dart to the round of her cheek and uncoiling. Her next shot sticks in the triples ring below the 20, and DeBruyne grunts in relief at this 60-point shot. The “triple 20” sets her up for the Singles Title and a respectable $290 prize.

DeBruyne came to darts through her first husband in the early 1990’s. Her passion for the game outlasted that marriage and brought her to her second. She met Dave Moran during league play in 2002 and they married three years later. Having gone winless most

of her rookie season, DeBruyne has grown accustomed to victory. She captains her team at Corner Sports Bar in East Rochester, with Dave, the league’s president, rooting her on.

Her player ranking bests any other woman’s in Rochester, according to the American Darts Organization, steel-tip darts’ organizing body.

Though competitive, congeniality runs through the tournament hall. Many of the 120 tournament players hang out on Tuesday league nights around the city. Wearing darts jerseys and casual t-shirts, they chat freely about spouses and work. Erika Mardo, DeBruyne’s opponent, roomed with DeBruyne and her husband during a recent tournament in Albany. When, late in the Finals, Mardo sends a dart careening off the board, DeBruyne tells her to “step back” and continues on page 12 rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 11

recollect her emotions, like a caring sister.

When Mardo hastily shanks her next shot high, DeBruyne curses as if she was the one who miss-hit.

These bonds are built across decades of Tuesday evenings in dive bars around town. The Genesee Valley Darts Association has hosted league nights since the 1980’s. Players arrive, some directly from their 9-to-5s, at a home bar scattered around the city: McGinnity’s, Bathtub Billy’s, and Casey Jones, to list a few. The bars donate wings and cheap beer. Unlike the Rochester Open, no money or ranking points are on the line, just ego and the chance to relax with familiar faces.

“You typically know everyone here,” says Nick McGuire, a 62-year-old career delivery man who has played at Casey Jones on Ridgeway Ave since 1982. When matches end around 10 p.m., a handful of men migrate to other bars to throw more darts.

The game demands elementary math be

performed at warp speed. “If you don’t have to move off the line to calculate, you stay in a good rhythm,” DeBruyne says.

“Common Core hurts the younger players.

They want time to do a hundred steps to solve a problem.”

12 CITY JUNE 27 - JULY 3, 2018

Offer any seasoned darts player a number under 180 and they’ll rattle off numerical combinations like an auctioneer, detailing their preferred path of subtraction from X to zero. “111? I would go triple 20, 15, and close out with a double 18,” explains Johnny Lee Jenkins, one of the best darts throwers in Rochester and the closest thing the Open has to a celebrity.

Jenkins, who picked up darts while serving in both Desert Storm and the Iraq War, now traverses the globe as a semiprofessional darts player, taking home four-digit paydays from tournaments in Singapore and China, with plans to play England’s esteemed Lakeside tournament.

He is approaching a national ranking and has his own line of darts.

On this day, the East High graduate floats among the 25 dart boards lining the wooden walls of Sunset Lanes, chatting with competitors as George Strait’s “She’ll Leave You With a Smile” plays softly in the background. “They’re intimidated before they shoot against me,” Jenkins admits of his opponents.

The name “Johnny Lee” carries weight at tournaments around town. “People get up to the line and start trying too hard because they know they need really good shots to beat me,” he says.

In matches, Jenkins is all kinetic energy and smiles, constantly flipping his darts and bantering with anyone around. He practices two to four hours a day at Dead Center Darts, the store neighboring his mechanic shop on Buffalo Road. “I’m a perfectionist, and this is one game you’ll never perfect,” he says.

Jenkins, usually the best player in a room, takes notice when an outsider beats him in the weekend’s opening event. “The guy from Alabama is out of control,” Jenkins says shaking his head. The guy from Alabama is Gene Walts, a retiree with a bushy gray mustache and immaculate handeye coordination. He flew to Rochester with a friend for the Open, topping players from Ontario, Cleveland, and Boston for longest distance traveled.

Sunset Lanes is littered with bottles of Labatt Blue and Blue Lights. “There are some players who can’t play sober,” Jenkins says. “A lot of people got to get that buzz to concentrate on darts rather than anything else.” DeBruyne favors vodka tonics for her “aiming fluid,” a contradictory combination on the surface, while Jenkins nurses a few Jack and Cokes to steady the brain waves.

The Rochester darts community is split in two. Steel-tip, the one with piercing tips, is the traditionalist’s game. It sprang up from British pub culture in the 1950’s and 60’s, when government austerity measures pushed people to find solace and sport in their community bars.

“Darts didn’t cost you nothing,” says McGuire in a lilt that reveals his native England. In 1977, McGuire helped start the Genesee Valley Darts Association. Out of a bar called Sgt. Peppers in Greece, McGuire and the GVDA grew steel-tip darts from seven original members to 16 divisions, with eight teams per division.

At its height in the 1990’s, 700 Rochesterians were competing yearly in GVDA leagues. Seasons peaked at the Genny Light Open, the city’s premier darts event, where 200 participants filled downtown’s Crowne Plaza to vie for a pot of $16,000.

“My wife would say we need some extra cash,” McGuire remembers, “and that’s what I’d do: make money at those tournaments.”

The Genny Light Open ended in 1997, steel-tip darts dwindling with it, and now, the GVDA has only one division. Stricter indoor smoking laws have certainty put a dent in the sport’s popularity as well.

Yet nothing has eroded steel-tip participation more than the rise of soft-tip darts. Younger players are gravitating to the arcade-style game where players plant plastic-tipped darts into pegged nylon boards. The electronic boards keep score, even if the

dart bounces off — to the dismay of many in the steel-tip old guard.

“Soft-tip is a no-brain game,” Gene Walts says. “Young kids are spoiled. They don’t have to know their math.” Still, Walts is in the minority. Soft-tip darts, an American invention from the 1970’s, is cannibalizing its older brother.

The allure of the newer version is undeniable. Shorter games and automatic scoring lower the barrier of entry.

More than 850 local players registered for soft-tip leagues last fall according to Cap Amusement, one of the area’s largest providers of recreational vending equipment. Just over 100 still play GVDA steel-tip in Rochester. “There’s ease in just putting your money right into the electronic board,” says Janell Falvo of Cap Amusement.

“I used to laugh at soft-tip,” McGuire confesses. The man who once pinned a dangling cigarette from his wife’s mouth onto a dart board with a steel-tip had vowed never to play the plastic version. “Now it’s like the only game in town. Basically, you’ve got to change with the times,” he says.

Steel-tip players like Amy DeBruyne and Johnny Lee Jenkins compete in soft-tip, too. Conversion darts allow tips to be unscrewed and replaced depending on the style of play. A player can find competitive soft-tip tournaments in town on most weekend nights. The Big Dog Classic sees hundreds enter Rochester’s largest soft-tip event in February.

“Steel-tip will always be my passion.

I was reluctant to switch for a very long time,” DeBruyne says of her soft-tip experiences. “But darts is darts. My ultimate goal is to win. It doesn’t always happen, but I try.”

DeBruyne closes out the Rochester Open with a few choice words after a fourth place finish in Cricket, another popular darts format. She seeks more for both the tournament and herself. She wants the city’s once prominent steel-tip centerpiece to secure a major sponsor again and see prominence and payoffs rise accordingly.

Two weeks ago, DeBruyne finished top 10 at a State Qualifiers, thereby guaranteeing her spot on the New York Women’s Dart team for a third straight year. Beyond any one tournament or team, DeBruyne seeks a more professional existence on the darts circuit, where apparel endorsements could afford her time away from the office to compete across the country. She knows the players in that top-tier, battles against them, and knows she is not far off. It’s no pipedream.

“It’s a level I can reach,” DeBruyne says.

“A lot of women shy away from the top players because they don’t think they’ll have a chance. I can’t wait to play them.” rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 13

The Boston-based collective blends electronic production with heavy rock textures using loud, crashing drums and dreamy synthesizers. Lead vocalist Matthew Politoski has a tender clarity to his voice, but with an appropriately passionate growl to invoke tension in moments of despair. There is a pleasing dynamic contrast between song sections; some are quiet and tense, others are loud and climactic. Animal Flag paints a beautiful picture out of desperation and longing, with poetic lyrics about love, revenge, and existentialism that build into haunting anthems. The Obsessives, Alleys, and Semesters are also on the bill.

Over his long and varied career, Miles Davis recorded several seminal jazz orchestra albums in collaboration with the great arranger Gil Evans. Those disciplined affairs (“Sketches of Spain” and others) were in stark contrast to Miles’s wild, improvised, “electric” period that produced records like “Bitches Brew.” Charles Pillow Large Ensemble’s “Electric Miles” brilliantly fuses these two aspects of Miles’s oeuvre with gorgeous big band arrangements of tunes from “Bitches Brew,” “Jack Johnson,” and “In a Silent Way.” Featured soloists Tim Hagans and Clay Jenkins ably take on Miles’s role on trumpet while Pillow takes flight on alto sax and alto flute. Dave Liebman, who participated in the original sessions a half-century ago, contributes soaring soprano sax solos on “Yesternow” and “Black Satin.” All of the soloists, including Michael Davis (trombone) and Luke Norris (tenor sax), are outstanding, but the stars here are Pillow’s arrangements, with beautiful voicings on more subtle tunes like “Sanctuary” and a powerful punch on compositions like “Pharaoh’s Dance.”

There’s a moment about halfway through “Possum Dark,” the third track on Spin Cycle’s “Assorted Colors,” when you might forget you are listening to a jazz album.

Saxophonist Tom Christensen, who co-leads the group with drummer Scott Neumann, wrote the tune and takes the first solo with a powerful torrent of notes.

After a brief bass solo by Phil Palombi, guitarist Pete McCann enters and the tune takes a wide left turn into Jimi Hendrix territory. It’s that sort of unpredictability that makes Spin Cycle one of freshest groups on the scene today.

Christensen and Neumann each contribute five nicely varied tunes. Neumann’s “Etosha” is especially playful in terms of time signatures and a wonderful feeling of insideout melodies. His “To the Puente” is a more traditional Latin composition in tribute to the great Tito Puente. A few tracks later Christensen is back with an up-to-the-minute tone poem of sorts called, and strangely evocative of, “Fit Bit.” With a quartet composed of some of New York’s best players, great solos abound from start to finish.

Music come true for someone who was a year out of school and trying to figure out the “What happens now?” question. Playing in such an iconic American band that still works and travels that much was unlike anything I had experienced before. Not only did I feel like I was able to further myself as a professional musician, but I made some lifelong friends as well.

What’s it like playing with 5Head?

Trombonist Brendan Lanighan will play a free show at Central Library on Wednesday, June 27, as part of the 2018 Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival.

Brendan Lanighan [ JAZZ FEST ] BY FRANK DE BLASE

Lining up an interview can be exciting for a number of reasons: whether the interviewee is a rising star, a superstar, or if they sleep in their car, they all have a story to tell. My biggest thrill is talking to artists on the ground floor as they wait for the elevator to ding its arrival. One such lad is Brendan Lanighan, a young Eastman grad and trombone player who has just started to make waves.

I first caught Lanighan live playing the trombone for the wisenheimer ska collective 5Head, where he laid down the ballsy brass at the band’s trademark, maniacal pace and breakneck speed. He’s played with ensembles led by Dave Rivello and Bill Dobbins, and got the chance to travel internationally with the Glenn Miller Orchestra.

I caught up with Lanighan and threw a few questions his way. Here’s what he said. An edited transcript follows.

16 CITY JUNE 27 - JULY 3, 2018

List some of your awards.

CITY: You’ve received attention as an arranger,

Why the trombone?

but you’re a composer as well. Which is more

My elementary band teacher made an announcement that the band needed more trombone players. I had plans to play the oboe, but I decided to help out and pick up the ’bone for the cause. As it turned out, my dad played trombone in his high school marching band and had kept it in our basement for what must have been 20 years.

Needless to say, he was excited it was going to get some use again, even if the cleaning process was a most unpleasant experience.

difficult? Which do you prefer?

Brendan Lanighan: For what relatively little

writing and arranging I have done compared to many, I find both composing and arranging to be thrilling in their own unique ways. Both are challenging to me in that it can take me awhile to get ideas flowing. However, the concrete gratification of hearing something that you yourself created is worth every minute of writer’s block.

What is your first musical experience? Give us a little background.

My parents had my brother, sister, and me take piano lessons when we were very young. I continued until around late elementary school, early middle school. By that time, I had started playing trombone.

None of my immediate family members are professional musicians, but there was always music around. My mom has played flute for many years in local flute ensembles and concert bands. So she would be practicing in the house often. Also, in typical younger brother style, I wanted to do everything my brother did. So when he picked up an instrument, like piano or guitar, I wanted to play it, too.

When I joined 5Head, I had no idea what I was getting into. I had never really listened to much ska growing up. So I jumped at the opportunity to get into a whole style of playing. They had so many catchy songs with great horn lines.

Honestly, I ended up enjoying myself as a listener as much as a player. I was also able to meet a lot of local Rochester musicians that led to collaborations down the road.

Most importantly, though, on top of having great songs, I was welcomed into a family of some of the funniest and warmest folks I’ve ever gotten to know.

You’ve played with some notable ensembles and bands. Name a few of your favorites.

When I was in school, playing in the Eastman Jazz Ensemble under Bill Dobbins’ direction for three years afforded me some truly unforgettable opportunities and experiences.

Playing in and hearing the Dave Rivello Ensemble was both a thrill and an education that I continue to learn from even to this day. His writing constantly inspired me and influenced the way I heard music.

Playing with Rochester ska band 5Head and also a Rochester band called the Swooners was a perfect musical contrast to school. I made some great friends in both bands.

Most recently, I was lucky to be able to tour for a little over a year with the Glenn Miller Orchestra. This was a bit of a dream

I was very humbled to be chosen as the winner of the 2017 International Trombone Festival’s J.J. Johnson Jazz Trombone Competition. As you mentioned about arranging, I also received a Downbeat Magazine Award for an “Outstanding Arrangement” done by a college student in 2015.

What’s a dream gig or collaboration for you?

I wish I had a better answer for this, but my dream gig is really just to have a gig that I enjoy and can also make a living doing.

Ideally, I would like to be able to play with as many different groups and in as many different styles of music as possible. I guess if I had full access to a dream collaboration, I would record a big band album. That way, I could hire as many of my favorite musicians as possible to play.

Are you on any albums of your own or others?

I haven’t done any recording of my own, or at least that I can think of at the moment.

5Head recorded an album that I played on.

Within a year or two, I’d like to be able to record an album of my own.

What’s next?

In the fall, I will be starting my masters at the Juilliard School.

The Strong Museum of Play has produced a tome that tells the story of the history of video games. PHOTO BY KURT INDOVINA

From past to present “A History of Video Games in 64 Objects” [REVIEW] BY KURT INDOVINA

As a gamer, and someone who works in media, I am often posed with having to defend video games. I get the usual FAQ: “Do you think video games cause violence?”

Or I have to dispel claims that video games only exist to serve misogynist male fantasies. And then there’s my favorite: “Would you consider games art?” But this kind of criticism and controversy has always impacted new media and forms of artistic expression, including novels in the 19th century and comic books and films in the 20th century. Video games have already had a massive impact on 21st century culture, and this fact is celebrated in “A History of Video Games in 64 Objects,” a new book produced by The Strong Museum of Play.

I’ve read a lot of books on video games that present and preserve the medium’s 18 CITY JUNE 27 - JULY 3, 2018

relevance while confronting criticism leveled at gaming, but none have truly captured its growth and impact historically or culturally as eloquently as The Strong’s book. Inspired by the British Museum’s “A History of the World in 100 Objects,” the work offers a glimpse into the history of video games using 64 objects (a common number in video game history, i.e. the Commodore 64 computer, and the Nintendo 64 gaming console) from the first electromechanical pinball machine (1947) to “Pokémon Go” (2016), and beyond.

Since 2006 The Strong Museum of Play has been expanding its collection and emphasis on video games’ historic and future impact on play, and the museum in 2015 founded The World Video Game Hall of Fame. “A History of Video Games in 64 Objects” is a demonstration of the museum’s past ten years of exhaustive collecting, preserving, and interpreting the history of video games — The Strong’s collection has more than 60,000 games and related artifacts and hundreds of thousands of archival

materials documenting the growth of electronic gaming over the last half century.

The book begins with the 1947 pinball machine “Humpty Dumpty,” the first machine to feature electromechanical flippers and inject skill into what was formerly a game of chance. Moving forward from 1947 to 2017, each chapter features an item that The Strong considers to be of historic relevance in developing video games. Each item is explored in terms of its origins and the role it played in the industry, the minds behind it, and why it matters. All of which is engaging and told concisely thanks to exceptional writing, and is supplemented by images and subtexts interjecting controversies, misconceptions, and views from the media.

Despite its textbook-like size and presentation, the 340-page book should be easy for non-gamers to digest while not patronizing enthusiasts. I found it hard to put down, enthralled by anecdotes and trivia that I wanted to run out and share. These included the story of Steve Jobs’s role in helping create the game

“Breakout” (which, like most of his acclaimed inventions, was actually engineered by friend and underrated partner Steve Wozniak). Or the changing of Pac-Man’s name from its original Japanese title Puckman (out of fear of clever American vandalism), to the earliest account of violence in video games in 1976’s “Death Race.”

“A History of Video Games in 64 Objects” not only best represents the importance of video games in contemporary culture, it also demonstrates just how young the medium is, and that even still, we can only begin to anticipate what gaming will do or accomplish in the future.

Video games are constantly at the root of controversy in their relationship to violence and its potential harmful influence to players — the World Health Organization (WHO) even listed Gaming Disorder under its International Classifications of Diseases early this year.

WHO categorizes gaming disorder based on when video games takes precedence over daily activities, dominating the whole life of a person, including the neglect of friends and family members, physical activity, and proper nutrition. WHO also emphasizes that gaming disorder is not equivalent to gaming behavior, and that assessment can take up to 12 months to indicate whether or not an individual has a gaming disorder.

A study conducted by the US Secret Service found no correlation between video games and school shootings, and the American Psychological Association’s Media Psychology division urges that there’s no supporting evidence that video games have a negative impact on the player. In fact, according to research from the Southern Economic Journal in 2016, video games are tied to a decrease in actual violence. Most of these opposing accusations are leveled at games such as “Call of Duty” and “Grand Theft Auto” — two of the most widely popular and culturally infamous titles in contemporary gaming — as examples of “harmful” games. But this completely disregards the broadness of the medium.

There are hundreds of other games released each year, and the history of gaming dates back to 1947.

“A History of Video Games in 64 Objects” is a definitive staple among works that present the video game medium as genuinely culturally important, and I place this book alongside Jason Schreier’s “Blood, Sweat, and Pixels” and Tom Bissell’s “Extra Lives” — two books that I encourage enthusiasts and non-gamers alike to read.

ART | ‘UNDERPANTS AND OVERBITES’ For more than two years Rochester-based comic artist Jackie E. Davis has kept a diary comic she calls “Underpants and Overbites,” which is inspired by real-life experiences and observations. With a dry and casually self-deprecating wit, Davis translates relatable experiences onto the panels filled with “chubby pink humanoids” that she then watercolors by hand. Makers Gallery and Studio is presenting an exhibition of Davis’s watercolors this month.

“Underpants and Overbites: A Gallery Show! Continues through July 21 at Makers Gallery and Studio, 34 Elton Street (3rd floor). Free. Gallery Hours are Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and by appointment. 507-3569; makersgalleryandstudio.com.

THEATER | ‘WHITE GUY ON THE BUS’ Like Amiri Baraka’s play “Dutchman,” Bruce Graham’s “White Guy on the Bus” explores racism through an encounter on public transportation. But unlike the encounter in “Dutchman,” which takes place on a single ride that moves from casually pleasant to violent, Graham’s play follows the routine encounters between a wealthy white businessmen and a young black single mother who ride the same bus. As the two become better acquainted, they reveal elements of their past, communication becomes fraught, and the complexities of racial biases are revealed. Donald B. Bartalo directs a staging of “White Guy on the Bus” this week at the Multi-use Community Cultural Center.

“White Guy on the Bus” will be staged at MuCCC, 142 Atlantic Avenue, from Wednesday, June 27, through Sunday, July 1, at 7:30 p.m. each night. $12 in advance, $15 at the door. muccc.org — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

THEATER | ‘MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET’ In December of 1956, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Carl Perkins recorded an impromptu jam session at Sun Records in Memphis that is regarded as one of the greatest recordings ever made. The session included the classic hits “Great Balls of Fire,” “Sixteen Tons,” “I Walk the Line,” “Hound Dog” and others, and the session is immortalized in “Million Dollar Quartet,” film producer, writer and screenwriter Floyd Mutrux’s musical that premiered at Florida Seaside Music Theatre in 2006. Since then, the show has become a worldwide hit, was nominated for three Tony Awards, and was the basis for the 2017 eight-part TV series, “Sun Records.”

“Million Dollar Quartet” returned to Geva Theatre Center earlier this month after being the season closer production in 2017, when it completely sold out and was extended for an additional week.

“Million Dollar Quartet” continues through Sunday, July 8, at Geva Theatre’s Wilson Stage, 75 Woodbury Boulevard.

Tuesdays through Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. (Wednesday, July 4 performance is at 2 p.m.), Fridays at 8 p.m., Saturdays at 3 and 8 p.m., and Sundays at 2 and 7 p.m.

Tickets start at $34. 232-4382; gevatheatre.org.

trying to confine it to just one concert. There were a lot of scores that we wanted to do — and there’s certainly enough music to do several concerts, so we’re hoping for it to be a continuing thing. But I wanted to find a mixture of different time periods. Jazz in movie scores kind of started in the mid-50’s and reached its peak creatively in the 60’s, so we’ve got several scores that are from that period, but also a couple that are more contemporary.

Is the set entirely jazz scores, or will you be putting a jazz spin on scores that aren’t necessarily of that genre?

Almost all of them are jazz scores to begin with. We are doing one jazz version of a tune from “Toy Story” that was actually used as the end credits for “Toy Story 2.” It’s a delightful jazz version of the great Randy Newman song “You’ve Got a Friend in Me,” but Randy supervised the arrangement of it, and it’s really wonderful.

This is a broad question, but generally speaking, how has the use of jazz in film scores evolved over time?

22 CITY JUNE 27 - JULY 3, 2018

When jazz was first used in motion picture scores, it was usually used to display sleaziness or alcoholism or drug addiction or overt sexuality. That was how the language of jazz was interpreted. There’s a great story about how Alex North, when he wrote his score to “A Streetcar Named Desire,” the League of Decency made him go back and tone down some of the sexuality of the score before the film to be released. So he had to take out all the sultry saxophone solos and replace it with a clarinet, and that toned down the overt sexuality of it.

But eventually the great composers started figuring out that they could use jazz for something more evocative, more intriguing.

With the great caper movies of the 60’s, “The Pink Panther” and movies like that, jazz became the perfect language for mystery and suspense. And it kind of legitimized jazz as an art form, I think, by seeing it as something that it wasn’t necessarily bad or representing something that was a unsavory.

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 23 ] [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY THE EDITORS AT ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

The Litigious Society If you’ve ordered a Quarter Pounder recently and specified “no cheese,” you may be interested in a $5 million class-action lawsuit brought against McDonald’s on May 8 by Cynthia Kissner of Broward County, Florida, and Leonard Werner of Miami-Dade. According to the Miami Herald, the two are angry that they’ve been paying for cheese even though they ordered their sandwiches without it. The lawsuit contends “cus-

tomers ... continue to be overcharged for these products, by being forced to pay for two slices of cheese, which they do not want, order or receive.” Also, Kissner and Werner “have suffered injury as a result of their purchases because they were overcharged” and “McDonald’s is being unjustly enriched by these practices.”

While attorney Andrew Lavin admits the mobile app ordering option does offer a Quarter Pounder without cheese, he notes in-store customers have no such choice.
