They say that if you drop a frog into a saucepan of water and turn the burner on low, it will happily swim around, unaware of the slowly warming water, until it boils to death. It seems to me that is exactly what we are allowing climate change to do to us.

We are happily swimming around in the comfort, convenience, and abundance afforded us by a couple of centuries of burning coal, gas, and oil. Most of us, including our leaders, do not appear concerned that air temperatures in equatorial regions of the planet are already reaching the limits of human endurance. Nor are we particularly disturbed that in our own country, drought is affecting agriculture in the state where most of our vegetables are grown and floods are delaying planting in the states where our beef and cereal grains come from.

By the time drought and flooding take out New York’s agriculture, insect infestations take out our forests, and coastal refugees overwhelm our social infrastructure, it will be too late to do anything about it.

The United Nations’ intergovernmental panel on climate change, which collects and analyzes climate data from around the world, stated in its 2018 report that we have only 12 years to cut our carbon emissions by 50 percent before the planet warms beyond our ability to do much about it.

I am on the executive committee of the Rochester

Regional Group Sierra Club, the nation’s oldest and largest environmental organization.

The national park system, the clean air and clean water acts, and the absence of fracking in New York are all, in large measure, due to its efforts. We are in the front lines of the battle against climate change.

We have paid lobbyists and lawyers in Washington, Albany, and many other state capitals. Locally, we volunteers spend much of our efforts trying to get the word out about the seriousness of climate change – and we are woefully understaffed. We are desperate for energetic leaders who can write and speak well before the public and media.

We need people with ideas and organizational skills who are politically savvy and who are facile with conventional and electronic media. We also need less-skilled people like myself to run errands, staff information tables, and show up for rallies and other events.

Most of the people doing this work for the Sierra Club and similar groups are old grayheads who have been at it a long time. Many are tired and will be leaving the saucepan before it comes to a boil.

(Nevertheless, they persist.).

The boiling point is not far off. Some scientists think that the social and agricultural underpinnings of civilization may unravel as soon as 2050.

Most of us grayheads will be long gone. Who will replace us? Who has the courage to take up this desperate cause in the 11th hour? Children who are unaware of what’s coming are depending on you.

A loopy idea

Mayor Lovely Warren’s proposal to fill the remainder of the Inner Loop is one of the most ludicrous ideas to

emanate from City Hall in decades. The Inner Loop serves as the only thoroughfare connecting the east and west parts of downtown outside of Main Street. During morning and afternoon rush hours, it is congested, and when Main Street and other city arteries are closed for repairs or because of parades and other events, it is a valuable and necessary connecting link.

Main Street is a joke.

It’s only one lane in each direction, and even in midday westbound traffic is often backed up from St. Paul Street to Gibbs Street. Main Street in downtown Canandaigua is an ideal blueprint on how traffic should function.

The Inner Loop proposal is a huge waste of money when city roads like State Street, North Street, the intersection of Lake Avenue and Driving Park, and others are in deplorable condition.

The railroad and railroad bridges separated downtown from northern residential areas long before the Inner Loop was built. I trust the mayor is not proposing that we eliminate the railroad service.

If you want people to come downtown for various events and business reasons, a smooth flow of traffic is necessary. You don’t construct roads for the traffic conditions that exist at 2 in the morning.

I urge readers to contact their local, state, and federal representatives to oppose this ill-conceived idea.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Donald Trump, racism, and a divided nation We are so far apart.

The United States has so many problems that require us to work together, and we are so far apart, divided increasingly by racism and xenophobia.

These are not new sins. They predate the country’s founding. But on occasion, we have seemed to try to rise above them.

On occasion, we have had leaders who have pulled us forward. On occasion there’s been hope that collectively, there really did exist what Lincoln called “better angels of our nature.”

Now, though, the leader of the country is inciting different angels. He is using four young Congresswomen of color as bait, dangling them in front of his followers as surely as if he put them on hooks and bounced them over the heads of a pack of yapping, snarling dogs.

He started the attack with his “go back where you came from” tweets. A few days later, at a July 17 rally in Greenville, North Carolina, he ramped up the rhetoric, mocking the women and calling them hatefilled extremists.

The roar and the chants of the crowd in the Greenville arena are bone-chilling.

“Traitor!” “Treason!” “Send her back! Send her back! Send her back!” An arena full of people, laughing, fist-pumping, cheering, “Send her back! Send her back!”

“USA! USA! USA!” The president knows what he’s doing, of course. The day after the Greenville rally, he temporarily tried to step away from his supporters, saying – video footage to the contrary – that he had tried to stop the chants. But that didn’t last long. By the end of the week, he was praising the chanters, calling them “incredible patriots.” He continued to lie about what the four Congresswomen have said, and added, “I can tell you this: you can’t talk that way about our country, not when I’m president.”

It’s hard to imagine things getting worse, but given what we’ve experienced since January 2016, we can assume that they will.

Because Donald Trump is not an aberration, any more than the white nationalist march in Charlottesville was.

And rather than objecting to Trump’s behavior, the Republican leaders in Washington have crafted a response

Racism, xenophobia, nativism: These will be the foundation of the Republican Party’s campaign for the presidency, the House, and the Senate.” to his critics, shifting the focus to the Congresswomen using words taken straight out of the McCarthy playbook from the 1950’s.

“We all know that AOC and this crowd are a bunch of communists,” South Carolina Senator Lindsay Graham said on Fox & Friends. “They’re anti-Semitic. They’re antiAmerica.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he agrees with Trump that the four Congresswomen want “to turn us into a socialist country” – and that it’s not just those four.

Racism, xenophobia, nativism: These will be the foundation of the Republican Party’s campaign for the presidency, the House, and the Senate. And in the roars and chants in the arena in Greenville, North Carolina, last week, we saw how many Americans will respond.

Trump’s approval rating continues to be stable, despite his behavior. Given that, the Times’ Nate Cohen suggested on Saturday, Trump could lose the popular election again in 2020 but win the Electoral College vote by an even wider margin.

One day last week, David Brooks ended a column in the Times with a quote from Langston Hughes’ “Let America Be America Again”: “America never was America to me / And yet I swear this oath – / America will be!”

There’s a lot more hope and faith in Langston Hughes’ words than I’m feeling right now. rochestercitynewspaper.com

EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

News

Warren’s letter pushes vote on school district Continuing her push for a temporary state takeover of the Rochester school district, Mayor Lovely Warren sent city residents a letter last week urging them to vote on the issue in November.

In June, at Warren’s request, City Council approved a November 5 referendum calling for a state takeover. But the takeover issue is highly controversial; critics include not only the school board and the teachers union but many local education activists.

Warren’s letter did not urge recipients to vote for or against the referendum. But the letter repeats concerns Warren has raised about the district, opening with “For far too long, our kids have been failed by a broken educational system in Rochester.”

“Many City parents have no choice but to send their kids to a school system they know has failed almost half of its children,” Warren’s letter says. “The referendum allows City parents and residents to be heard and decide the future of our schools.”

The letter, bearing a City of Rochester logo, went to 30,000 city residents at a cost to taxpayers of about $10,000, Warren administration officials said, primarily for postage.

Was this an appropriate use of public money?

The New York State constitution bans the use of public funds to sway public opinion. “Although a municipality may use public funds to educate and inform the public, it may not use funds to convey favoritism, partisanship, partiality, approval, or disapproval of local legislation,” the law says.

“There’s a difference between advocacy and education, and we would argue that this is the latter,” Warren’s spokesperson, Justin Roj, said.

Adam Urbanski, president of the Rochester Teachers Association, said he doesn’t know about the legality of Warren’s letter. But RTA will be joining a coalition of community groups, parents, and residents who oppose the takeover and elimination of an elected body, he said.

“We’re determined to provide an alternative plan that doesn’t require the disenfranchisement of Rochester’s citizens,” Urbanski said.

GateHouse and Gannett talk consolidation

A potential merger could make the Democrat & Chronicle a GateHouse paper.

PHOTO BY RYAN WILLIAMSON

GateHouse Media already owns the Canandaigua Daily Messenger and the suburban Post papers. Its businessto-business division, Bridgetower Media, owns the Rochester Business Journal and The Daily Record. Soon, the Democrat & Chronicle could be a GateHouse paper, too.

GateHouse and Gannett — the D&C’s owner — are in merger talks, and reports from the Wall Street Journal and others say GateHouse would likely swallow up Gannett, the larger of the two companies.

In an article on the Poynter Institute website, Rick Edmonds says the merger would provide the companies with savings and potential to increase revenue from national ads. He writes that he doesn’t expect deep cuts to newsroom staffing, though some on the business side at Gannett may lose their jobs due to redundancies.

GateHouse has bought papers on a near constant basis and has a reputation for consolidating operations where possible and shedding staff in the process. It merged some operations

at the RBJ and Daily Record after it acquired up the RBJ in 2016.

Newspaper Guild 17, the union representing D&C journalists, says in a statement that it’s “eager to learn more details of this proposal and how it will impact us locally.”

But the statement also notes that the D&C newsroom has endured several rounds of layoffs and is half the size it was five years ago. In 2011, the Guild represented 86 newsroom employees — half of which were reporters and a dozen of which were photographers — but by the end of layoffs and buyouts in 2017, the Guild represented 32 newsroom journalists.

“Most of the journalists who lost their jobs as a result of those actions were Guild members,” says the union’s statement on the possible merger. “We welcome any change that helps preserve the remaining jobs and puts our local operation on a more solid footing for the future. Those of us who remain are committed to serving our community, holding public officials accountable, and telling the stories that make a difference in the lives of our readers.”

“The tragic death of a 3-year-old child in a grease pit behind a Tim Hortons last week has generated discussion about a continuing problem in the Rochester area: the lack of quality, affordable child care.”

CHILDREN | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Tim Hortons tragedy underscores child care needs Little is known yet about what led to the tragic death of a 3-year-old child in a grease pit behind a Tim Hortons last week.

Rochester police say the child’s mother had taken him to work at Tim Hortons that day because she didn’t have other care available. And while the child’s death has focused attention on the lack of regulations for outdoor grease traps, it has also generated discussion about a continuing problem in the Rochester area: the lack of quality, affordable child care.

The Children’s Agenda, an advocacy organization, estimates that the Rochester-Finger Lakes region has a shortage of 32,000 child care slots.

And the need is especially critical for low-income families. “Only 20 percent of children under 6 from low-income families received subsidized care in Monroe County in 2018,” says Pete Nabozny, the Agenda’s director of policy.

“Child care for young children in particular is extraordinarily expensive,” Nabozny says. “The market rate for infant care in Monroe County in a child care center is $14,560. For a 3-year-old in a child care center, it’s $12,740.”

When parents need to work but they can’t afford to pay for child care, Nabozny says, “they’re going to make other arrangements.”

Since 2002, the number of Monroe County children receiving child-care subsidies has declined even as the number of children in poverty has increased, according to Children’s Agenda research. “There are fewer families receiving child care assistance from Monroe County now than at any time in the past,” Nabozny says.

And, Nabozny says, “the amount of licensed care in Monroe County has also declined considerably over the last five years.”

But, Nabozny adds, it’s important to point out that some child care assistance is available currently, and the county is accepting applications for it. Parents can apply by calling the county’s human services department at (585) 753-6960.

Also available is a unique service operated by the Center for Youth: two free crisis nurseries that provide temporary child care for families facing emergencies such as unexpected medical problems or domestic violence. One is in the city’s Beechwood area, the other on Genesee Park Boulevard.

The centers operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week and are staffed by certified child-care workers who, in turn, are aided by volunteers – retired

nurses, teachers, grandmothers, and college students. Each center can take care of six children at a time, says City Councilmember Elaine Spaull, the Center’s executive director. The stays are short, often for just a few hours to help a family through a medical emergency. Spaull estimates that over a year, each center will help as many as 250 different families.

In addition to providing emergency child care, crisis nursery staff are able to help parents get medical care, housing, and other assistance.

“If I had all the money in the world,” Spaull says, “I would add two more” crisis

nurseries, one in each of the other two quadrants of the city.

The Children’s Agenda and other childwelfare organizations have pushed for years for better funding for child care. And Spaull says she hopes the tragedy will spur a wide community conversation about the needs of families and children.

“We have to keep talking” about the needs of families, Spaull says: child care, adequate wages and benefits, pay equity, transportation, health care. “The whole community has to come together on this issue.”

CLIMATE CHANGE | BY JEREMY MOULE

It’s getting hot in here This past weekend, temperatures in Rochester approached 95 degrees, though the high humidity levels made it feel hotter than 110. Mayor Lovely Warren declared a Cool Sweep Heat Emergency, keeping city pools and spray parks open later and inviting residents to cool off in air-conditioned rec centers and city libraries. County officials extended hours at Ontario Beach Park.

It’s a Rochester July, and hot, humid days are to be expected. But when temperatures get high and the air gets muggy, the conditions pose serious risks for children, the elderly, people with cardiovascular conditions, and people who have to perform strenuous work outdoors or in uncooled environments.

The National Weather Service developed the Heat Index — a calculation that uses temperature, humidity, and whether it’s sunny to quantify what it really feels like outside — to help people know when hot weather becomes dangerous.

Sweltering weather like that of this past weekend is going to become more frequent in the future, says a new report from the Union of Concerned Scientists, an environmentally minded scientific think tank. The report projects that in the mid and late century, Monroe County is going to see more days with a high heat index: days that are dangerously hot and humid, in plainspeak.

Researchers looked at every county in the US, and the upward trend will affect all of them, the report says. They projected midcentury and late-century increases under three different scenarios, each based on whether the US and other countries do something to cut climatedisrupting emissions: • A no-action scenario, where emissions continue to rise, leading to an 8 degree increase in global average temperatures; • A slow-action scenario, where emissions increase before they start to decrease midcentury, and where global average temperatures increase by 4.3 degrees; • A rapid-action scenario where, in line with the 2015 Paris agreement, emissions are cut aggressively and global average temperatures rise by 3.6 degrees.

No matter the scenario, Monroe County is looking at a substantial increase in very hot days.

Between 1971 and 2000, the county experienced an average of eight days a year 6 CITY

where the heat index surpassed 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The researchers project that by midcentury, a period they define as 2036–2065, the county would see: • 39 days a year where the heat index exceeds 90 degrees if no action is taken on climate change. Of those days, 12 would exceed 100 degrees on the index.

• 29 days a year where the heat index exceeds 90 degrees if there’s slow action on climate change. Of those days, six would exceed 100 degrees on the index.

The numbers are even more drastic in the late century, which the report defines as the period from 2070 to 2099. Researchers project that Monroe County would see:

• 71 days a year where the heat index exceeds 90 degrees if no action is taken on climate change. Of those, 32 would exceed 100 degrees on the index, 19 would exceed 105 degrees on the index, and 2 would have “an off-the-charts heat index.”

• 38 days a year where the heat index exceeds 90 degrees if slow action is taken on climate change. Of those, nine would would exceed 100 degrees on the index, and three would exceed 105 degrees on the index.

The rapid-action projections are the same for midcentury and late century: Monroe County would experience 31 days a year where the heat index exceeds

90 degrees, six of which would exceed 100 degrees on the index.

The increases are substantial under any of the scenarios, and they’ll have wideranging implications, all of which are likely to play out in Monroe County. For example, hotter days will likely drive up energy use and household energy costs, thanks to air conditioning.

Extreme heat is also a socioeconomic issue. While many people will be able to find relief in air-conditioned homes, many others can’t afford to buy and run AC units. Fans get you only so far when it’s 95 and muggy, and those conditions can lead to dehydration and heat-related illnesses like heat stroke.

Programs like the city’s Cool Sweep help residents find relief. The city budgeted $11,800 for the program this year, which city spokesperson Justin Roj says are “relatively minor costs to provide relief from the heat and fun for our residents.”

The number of Cool Sweep days vary each year, from seven in 2015 and five in 2017 to 25 in 2016 and 19 in 2018. But logically, if the city sees an increase in very hot days, officials may have to bump up the budget.

But Cool Sweep or extended swimming hours at county and state beaches do have benefits beyond comfort.

The longer people’s bodies are exposed to hot weather, the greater their risk for complications such as heat cramps, dehydration, and heat stroke. The programs provide public health benefits, as do things like New York’s Home Energy Assistance Program, which helps low-income New Yorkers cover heating and cooling costs.

As Monroe County and New York gets warmer, these programs will become more valuable.

Chef ’s table Rella 181 MONROE AVENUE MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, AND THURSDAY, 5 TO 10 P.M.; FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, 5 TO 11 P.M. INSTAGRAM: @RELLA181 RELLA DOES NOT ACCEPT CASH OR RESERVATIONS [ REVIEW ] BY MARY RICE

There’s not a bad seat in the house at Rella.

That’s because any seat you choose — and there are only 15 — is a seat at the chef’s table. The new restaurant, which opened on Monroe Avenue in June, is an intimate dining bar where you can watch the kitchen’s every move. There are no tables, and no waiters.

Instead, the cooks do double duty, deftly plating and serving dishes while chatting with the diners just feet away.

Rella is the sister establishment of popular Italian restaurant Rocco, located three doors down at 165 Monroe Avenue. Both are owned

by Mark Cupolo, a Rochester native who got his start in the restaurant industry in Boston in the 1980s. Cupolo opened Rocco in 2008, and in the decade since has several times considered opening another restaurant nearby. By the time the space at 181 Monroe Avenue became available, Cupolo already had an idea of what he wanted his next restaurant to be.

Together with chef Cruz Nieves, a veteran of Rocco as well as New York City establishments such as Del Posto, Cupolo formed the concept of a casual but refined seafood-centric dining bar. Like Rocco, Rella is heavily influenced by Italian cuisine, but its menu focuses on a rotating selection of small plates that showcase the fresh seafood Cupolo has shipped in from Boston.

A friend and I visited Rella on a recent Thursday around 6 p.m., scoring the last two seats in the place. The open kitchen occupies the center of the unusual triangle-shaped space, with the bar running around it on two sides. Allusions to the seaside abound, from the shell-shaped side plates to the oysterpatterned wallpaper accenting the kitchen.

Large chunks of blue sea glass adorn the bar at either end.

It was a hot, humid night, and Rella’s air conditioning was not yet up and running.

Nevertheless, a couple chilled glasses of Trebbiano and half a dozen oysters served on a heaping pile of crushed ice was enough to keep us cool. The fresh, briny mollusks were adorned with either a bit of zesty cocktail sauce or a pinch of vinegary mignonette.

We followed the oysters with a plate of burrata, slashed to reveal its creamy interior and accompanied by a salad of mixed greens, grilled corn, and tomatoes, dressed

in a chanterelle mushroom vinaigrette.

The tuna crudo arrived next, the raw fish delicately fanned out alongside crisp slices of cucumber, and strikingly garnished with thinly-sliced green beans, fresh dill, and spiky shards of black salt. Satiny yet subtle, the tuna was one of the highlights of the meal, we agreed.

We decided to round out our dinner with a Sicilian-style pizza, which is traditionally prepared with a thick crust.

Rella’s version featured an airy, sky-high crust generously topped with scallions and crabmeat, and finished with a dramatic zigzag of saffron aioli.

Throughout the meal our server, sous chef Tyler Gaudioso, graciously answered our many questions about the meal.

Cupolo himself flitted in and out over the course of the evening, slicing melon, tasting dishes, and greeting patrons.

Though we hadn’t planned on dessert, Cinnamon Toast Crunch ice cream was too intriguing to pass up. Nieves explained that he had toasted the cereal and soaked it in cream to render the sweet, spicy flavors that, for some, are the very essence of childhood. Right before serving, Gaudioso applied a drizzle of olive oil over the ice cream, proving that there isn’t really anything that can’t be improved with a judicious dose of the good stuff. As I remarked on the ice cream’s satisfying touch of salt, Nieves zipped past with plate in hand, announcing, “If your pastry chef is not putting salt in his desserts, fire him.”

It’s worth noting that Rella does not take reservations and only accepts credit and debit cards for payment. Those are just a couple of the steps Cupolo has taken to keep things at the new restaurant simple. Rella doesn’t have a website, or a phone line (though you can call Rocco for inquiries).

As you leave the restaurant, you can’t miss the large mural next to the front door depicting the late Anthony Bourdain, whom Cupolo acknowledges as a major influence. When asked why he decided to have the famous gourmand’s face painted on the wall of Rella, Cupolo cites a passage from Bourdain’s best-selling book, “Kitchen Confidential,” in which the author remembers his first oyster: “It tasted of seawater...of brine and flesh...and, somehow...of the future.” rochestercitynewspaper.com

band toward the avant-garde, Mosswalk is a vibrant four-piece from Buffalo that keeps you on your toes, with driving energy.

Featuring singer-guitarist Sean McNamara, keyboardist Ryan Cass, drummer Jamie Sunshine, and bassist Daniel Heuskin, the group has released almost a dozen live albums since 2017, as well as its debut studio album, “Mangata.” Delivering expansive jams and structured songs, Mosswalk is an earthy mix of psychedelic rock, jam band, pop, and jazz. McNamara has a feathery tenor voice accented by dense backing harmonies, similar to Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. While the lyrics use natural imagery to point out observations about life, the guitar speaks just as much, with gritty, heartfelt solos. People Shaped, Sugar Glider, and Jon Lewis are also on the bill.

Compared to previous outings, a break-up record is not really something you’d expect from Fairport native and singer-songwriter Julia Nunes. But there’s a pervasive melancholy coming out of this artist, pouring out, really.

It’s a little unexpected from a songwriter who is generally known to couch her lyrics in mirth and ukulele sunshine. This is the first time I’ve heard her sound hurt. The pretty pop of Nunes’ earlier work — in which she cracked wise with an ironic tone and covered acts like Destiny’s Child on the uke — is still there just below the surface waiting for the healing to begin. “Ughwow” is a good start.

Julia Nunes celebrates the release of “Ughwow” Thursday, August 1, 7:30 p.m. at Abilene Bar & Lounge, 153 Liberty Pole Way. $10 advance, $15 door.

Rochester-born singer-songwriter and multiinstrumentalist Aaron Rizzo is doing things differently on his sophomore album, “Deference.”

Having played guitar since age nine, Rizzo performed in various rock bands throughout his teenage years before pursuing his own solo project. His plan is to release two singles at a time, and after four installments, to release the full album. “Gone Mad” and “To Witness a Death” are the two singles from the first installment of “Deference,” both demonstrating a maturation in Rizzo’s musical style.

Featuring high-reverb and dense production, the songs break free from Rizzo’s typical John Mayer-esque, blues-rock vibe, transforming into an ethereal mix of indie pop, alternative rock, and R&B. Somber yet brilliant, Rizzo reaches out a helping hand in his simple yet intentional vocal melodies, all sung with a gentle whisper and heart-wrenching, palpable energy.

THE TRIBUTE SHOW PHENOMENON IN ROCHESTER

MORE THAN A

COVER BAND [ MUSIC ] BY DANIEL J. KUSHNER AND FRANK DE BLASE | PHOTOS BY RYAN WILLIAMSON

The Rochester music scene is blessed with an abundance of individual artists and bands, in myriad genres, playing original music. But while those concerts dominate the concert calendars, it’s hard to ignore the creeping number of Facebook invites touting local “tribute shows.”

These concerts, in which musicians perform an influential album in its entirety or honor the catalogue of a legendary band or individual, pop up at least once a month. Flour City Station hosted a 25th anniversary celebration of Weezer’s “Blue Album” in May, Three Heads Brewing held a Counting Crows night in June, earlier this month there was a tribute to Green Day at the Bug Jar, there’s a July 31 Creedence Clearwater Revival show at Abilene Bar & Lounge, and the Bug Jar is hosting a night honoring the late Roky Erickson on August 31 at the Bug Jar. In contrast to shows played by cover bands — in which musicians devote themselves full-time to playing the work of a particular artist, night in and

12 CITY JULY 24 - 30, 2019

night out — the Rochester tribute shows are special, one-off events performed by musicians who are committed to writing and playing their own songs.

With more and more local musicians lending their talents to these concerts, what’s the impact on the health of the Rochester music community? Do tribute shows diminish the vibrancy and originality of the scene, or do they contribute to more growth?

How do individual musicians or bands maintain their own identity in a tribute or themed event show? Can they still be considered “original”?

In a recent roundtable gathering, several players on the scene discussed those questions. The participants were all original musicians who have produced or performed in their fair share of tribute shows: Geoff Dale, Three Heads Brewing’s music programmer and Extended Family guitarist; Teagan Ward, leader of the hard rockin’ bar band Teagan and the Tweeds; one-man-band and busker Jackson Cavalier; and Karl Heberger, lead guitarist for funloving surf rockers The Isotopes.

THE CURRENT INFLUX OF TRIBUTE SHOWS TEAGAN WARD

in Rochester was essentially kick-started through monthlong artist residencies produced and hosted by Dale of Three Heads Brewing, starting around 2017. Dale wanted the residencies to be a platform for local artists to express what has inspired them musically, and to show how that informs their work currently, over the course of four unique shows.

“Pick what influenced you,” Dale said. “I wanna understand what made you a musician. I also think then if you go that route, it’s gonna be a lot more honest and true.

And I think it’s gonna resonate better with people.”

As tribute shows became a fixture of the Three Heads residency format, Dale himself had concerns about a possible imbalance in programming at the brewery.

“I always sort of prided myself on being a champion of original music,” he said. “And it was tough to sort of open the door to this whole thing.” He worried about whether he was being a sellout, he said: “Because we make original beer, I want to support original music. And it’s sort of a battle I have because, let’s be honest, they also draw well.”

And he is, after all, running a business.

A typical Three Heads residency consists of one show per week, usually on a Thursday or Friday, for three to four weeks. And tribute shows often make up at least half of the performances in a given residency. For example, “Overhand” Sam Snyder’s October 2018 residency included sets devoted to The Velvet Underground and the “White Album” by the Beatles, but it also featured a performance by Snyder’s original rock band Maybird.

The non-residency shows at Three Heads mostly feature artists playing their own songs. And the tribute shows, Dale said, helps introduce people to bands who play their own music, and that helps to “ultimately keep that scene thriving and growing.”

“Over the past 10 years,” Cavalier said, “I feel like the Rochester music scene and the draw in Rochester seems to have gone from a lot of big venues booking cover bands — doing all covers — but now it’s kind of converted over to original bands who will sometimes do cover shows. And everyone’s benefiting a lot more.”

Dale and Three Heads have frequently highlighted local original artists paying homage to unlikely albums and genres. Ray Mahar, the frontman of folk band A Girl Named Genny, performed an 80’s metal-themed tribute — with an Americana twist — during his March residency this year.

Brian MacDonald, frontman for the jamgrass group The Honey Smugglers, presented the electro-pop duo The Postal Service’s indie cult hit “Give Up” as part of his December 2018 residency.

The Isotopes have put a “karaoke” spin on the tribute show concept. In this format, the band provides live accompaniment for multiple individual singers, in lieu of the typical pre-recorded track.

“Because we’re an instrumental band,” Heberger said, “we don’t get to play a lot of cover songs with singers, and we have a ton of friends who are great singers. And we decided, ‘What if we invite 15 people up to sing with us one night, and we play a bunch of cover songs?’

“And lo and behold, when you have that many guest musicians, it turns out to be a pretty big show. They all bring a couple of friends and wives and girlfriends and boyfriends.” rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 13

“Everyone’s in on the joke, too,” Heberger said.

“You could be tongue-in-cheek and have fun with it.

We’re not trying to win a contest.”

Even though they’re interpreting the work of others,

musicians can renew their creativity by performing in tribute shows. “The process of learning someone else’s songs encourages musical growth,” Dale said.

“It almost forces you to rethink how you play and write,” he said. “You start to see the song structures, how they’re putting chords together. And you sort of have to follow someone else’s map, but it sometimes then opens up a door to a different thing, creativity-wise, and then you become just a better musician for it.”

Playing tribute shows, Ward said, can be freeing from a performance perspective as well. “I don’t have to be Teagan,” she said. “I can just be somebody that’s playing Stevie Nicks, and I think that teaches you something about yourself, performance-wise, because you take liberties that you wouldn’t necessarily take onstage with your own music or your own persona.”

Cavalier plays his Americana-roots music throughout the Finger Lakes region, primarily performing his original tunes. In March, however, he put together a Townes Van Zandt birthday tribute show at Abilene Bar & Lounge. And he returns to Abilene July 31 for the show honoring Creedence Clearwater Revival with fellow locals, including Whilin’ Jack Dervy, The Archive Ravens, and Genesee Johnny.

He’s relieved when the tribute shows are over, Cavalier said, but like Dale, he’s also found that with every performance, “I pick up a couple of tips and tricks and ideas and stuff that you can use in composing.”

Another benefit: “I think we’re all sort of sensitive as original musicians,” Dale said. “It’s sort of nice when you do something else where you don’t feel like you’re getting — yes, you’re getting judged, but it’s a different kind of judge where it’s not as personal.”

“You’re getting judged on performance,” he said, “as opposed to ‘This is like my song and soul. Here we are: Judge me.’”

“It’s easier to play someone else’s songs in front of people,” Heberger said. “It’s just always easier.”

Tribute shows can prompt collaborations between people

In addition to producing the concerts at Three Heads Brewing and playing guitar in Extended Family, Geoff Dale (top) has also sung the music of The Go-Go's with The Isotopes as part of a "karaoke" tribute show. The Isotopes and their lead guitarist Karl Heberger (bottom) have also performed the music of Ween extensively.

who hadn’t previously known each other, let alone played together. Teagan Ward has experienced this firsthand.

Because of her involvement in shows commemorating Fleetwood Mac’s iconic album “Rumours” at both Three Heads and Anthology, Ward got to know local jazz pianist and electronic musician Charlie Lindner, whom she had never worked with before.

“When you play music, you’re sort of speaking a language,” Dale said. “And sometimes you maybe speak different dialects. And when you do these tribute shows, it’s a common ground that you’ll find common footing, and it breaks down walls a lot easier.”

Tribute shows also help original bands reach new listeners and broaden their fan base. Ward recalled the “Rumours” show at Anthology last October: “Not one person that I talked to knew anyone on the stage, which is awesome for us as original musicians. Because then they ask your name, they take their picture with

you, they tag you on Facebook — and the next thing you know, they’re at a Teagan and the Tweeds show.”

From a practical financial standpoint, tribute shows help to bolster the local music scene by allowing artists to supplement their income as original musicians. “It’s no secret: You make really good money doing tribute shows,” Cavalier said. “It’s really nice.”

“We all are original artists,” Ward said. “So I mean, we’re getting paid to do tribute shows, but then that money is going back to our lifestyle that is ultimately an original musician’s lifestyle.”

Though the tribute show niche in Rochester is a robust

one, there’s room for improvement. For instance, Dale said he’s making an effort to be more inclusive in the artist residencies at Three Heads, particularly with respect to gender.

“Each year, I’m trying to be a little bit more diverse with who I’m getting do residencies,” he said. “Katy Wright is going to be in August, and she’s going to be the first female to do a residency. And I feel bad that it’s taken this long. But I also know, I’ve been talking to Avis Reese about doing a month, and I think if she signs up, it’s going to be awesome. She’s amazing. She’s so talented — the secret weapon of Danielle Ponder that I don’t think people realize. The more diverse I can make the lineup, the more diverse the music’s gonna be.”

Given the frequency that tribute shows are occurring in Rochester, is there a shelf life? Are they sustainable over a long period of time?

“I think you have to be careful,” Dale said, “and this is what happened to some of the tribute shows before. It basically became The Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers, and Pink Floyd. That’s one of the things I’ve really steered away. I don’t want people to do Pink Floyd tributes at our place. They’ve been done. It’s overdone.

“I think if people keep approaching and actually bring some of these new bands or go a different route, then it has sustainability. I think if you start sort of rehashing the same thing, then yeah, it’s gonna die.

If everybody keeps doing a Johnny Cash night every time, Bob Dylan.”

Are there certain artists or genres that have been neglected in Rochester tribute shows so far?

“I’d love to see some more Motown,” Dale said.

“I’d love to see some more funk and soul. I’d love to see that kind of stuff. You know what? Maybe some more original country.”

INDIGENOUS | INDIGENOUS MUSIC & ARTS FESTIVAL

Ganondagan’s annual Native American Dance & Music Festival has been rebranded this year as the Indigenous Music & Arts Festival. And though the musical aspects are emphasized, the festival will still feature traditional Iroquois social dancing and arts demos, storytelling, the Hodinösö:ni Juried Art show and Native American art market, indigenous food, guided trail walks, and more. This year’s festival sees the return of Soh Daiko, a group of Japanese taiko drummers established in New York City in 1979. The percussion-heavy group has adapted existing compositions from the Shinto musical tradition, incorporating bamboo flutes, brass bells, conch shells, gongs, African shekere, and Tahitian toere, as well as elements of choreography. Making its festival debut this year is the culturally diverse American roots group Freightrain (pictured), led by songwriter–bassist Robert “Freightrain” Parker. The band won the 2018 Indigenous Music Award Best Blues Album, and Parker was the first Native American to be inducted into the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame.

Ganondagan’s Indigenous Music & Arts Festival takes place Saturday and Sunday, July 27 and 28, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Victor Fireman’s Field, off Maple Avenue in Victor. Admission is free to Friends of Ganondagan members and ages 2 and younger, $10 general admission ($15 two-day pass); various discounts for seniors, children, and others. 924-5848. ganondagan.org; freightrainband.com.

SPECIAL EVENT | ‘A TASTE OF GERMANY’

There are few things that bring us together more effectively than food. Breaking bread together satisfies hunger as well as the palate, and fuels cultural curiosity and connections.

Toward that end it has organized a five-day roadshow, “A Taste of Germany,” which makes a stop in Rochester this week. The tasting events features German companies presenting both traditional and original foods and beverages, including beers, wines, cheeses, meats, and more.

Fresh paint [ MURALS ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

July is wrapping up, and for only the second time in eight years, Wall\Therapy is not putting on its annual summer mural festival.

But the group’s organizers are still working to link W\T artists with opportunities to paint new murals around Rochester. In May Wall\Therapy alum Brittany Williams painted a mural on the side of Rocky’s Pizza at 810 Genesee Street. And Williams, Sarah Rutherford and Justin Suarez (aka Mr. Prvrt) — both of whom are Wall\Therapy alums — are currently painting the portraits of three local musicians on an interior wall at Martin Luther King Jr Park at Manhattan Square. They’ll be present and painting during this Thursday night’s Party in the Park event headlined by renowned band WAR. Since its founding in 2011, Wall\Therapy has organized more than 100 murals by artists from dozens of countries and has hosted annual summer festivals as well as other special events throughout the year. Arguably, 20 CITY JULY 24 - 30, 2019

its most ambitious year was 2013, when it produced dozens of murals by 34 local, national, and international artists.

Each year the curators and volunteers have conducted crowd-funding campaigns, raising tens of thousands of dollars from enthusiastic community members. It’s a huge undertaking, and the team decided to shift its focus this year to smaller, more specialized projects.

Earlier this year, organizers determined that fundraising for this year was looking tough, says Wall\Therapy lead curator Erich Lehman.

And many of the main organizers are busy with finishing up degrees or other life matters.

“It just made sense — instead of trying to do the crazy hustle to raise a bunch of money and hit the targets for the normal July event — to maintain the course doing our writing, give everyone time to work on what they’re working on, and keep building,” Lehman says.

And at the same time organizers were trying to figure out what would be feasible for this year, they were approached by different

community groups and local institutions with funding sources and ideas.

“We had these new opportunities to work with community groups more directly,” Lehman says. “So we took it as a sign from the Fates: Okay let’s take this year and focus on working on more direct projects with community groups locally, and have more specific impact. This year we’re going to talk about issues with the community that impact specifically groups in the city.”

Brittany Williams’ mural at Rocky’s Pizza, “Wear Orange,” is a portrait of a young man in an orange hoodie with white flowers framing his face, his features a result of her imagination. The piece was a collaboration between Wall\Therapy and the local chapter of Moms Demand Action, a national grassroots organization that pushes for public safety measures to protect people from gun violence.

Activist Jeremy Tjhung reached out to Wall\ Therapy with the idea for the mural, which Lehman says has received positive attention

nationally (Moms Demand Action is sponsored

by Everytown For Gun Safety, which is largely financed by founder Michael Bloomberg).

Lehman thought Williams’ work — which involves lovingly rendered, joyful portraits of young people of color — would be a great match for the project, and he later found out she grew up close to the neighborhood where the selected wall was located.

Williams says she was given a lot of freedom to create the mural, and that the group just wanted something that “reflects the parents, sisters, brothers, friends who have lost a family member to gun violence. I wanted to make it something positive, because oftentimes all we see of ourselves is a memorial, instead of something of hope,” she says. “The community loved it and they were very receptive, and people would always ask me who is it, and I would say it’s just a generic person. And they were all with it.”

Even though the subject was imaginary, Williams says many folks saw someone they recognized in the image.

“It really struck me where people were saying, ‘This reminds me of my son that just passed,’” she says. “They even gave out the description: ‘He was wearing a hoodie, his hair looked like that, his skin was this skin tone,’ and that really hit me because when you’re doing stuff like that you don’t really think about it.

Williams grew up down the street from the mural, on Columbia Avenue, “between Genesee Street and South Plymouth so it’s just right in the cut,” she says. She also attended St. Monica Church when she was younger, and has a cousin who also grew up in the neighborhood.

Down the street from the mural is the Boys & Girls Club of Rochester, which was the site of a shooting in 2015 that claimed three lives.

“That was a tie in to that too,” Williams says. “But if I were to do a mural of someone specifically, I don’t feel like that would be fair to any of the other families who’ve lost someone. But just creating one person who represents not even just boys but girls, fathers, mothers, everybody. It also shows a softness to it, with the flowers. And in the hoodie, it looks like every other kid that you see. I didn’t have a set, dedication to a specific person, it’s just all of them.”

Also this year, Wall\Therapy worked with

Renaissance Academy Charter School of the Arts, for which Wall\Therapy alum Nate Hodge painted a mural with students.

Williams, Rutherford, and Suarez are joined by youth apprentices Tehya Bollar, Alex Baez Rivera, and Paris Cockrell, all former Roc Paint Division members. The group will be at the park until 6 p.m. each day until the work is complete, and will be live painting at Thursday’s Party in the Park event.

Though there won’t be a formal mural festival this year, Wall\Therapy organizers have a bunch of other projects in the hopper, and are pursuing some grants to fund future murals and events, and generate year-round momentum for the organization’s activities.

“We’ve been in talks with a couple folks, and the plan is absolutely to pick back up next year,” Lehman says. “Some people have been traveling who want to swing through, and we want to do little pocket murals again like we’ve done in the past.”

Wall\Therapy is working on scheduling Artist Sarah Rutherford and youth apprentice Tehya Bollar tape off geometric lines while artist Justin another visit by renowned graffiti photographer Suarez (aka Mr. Prvrt) applies paint to “This is Triumphant Music,” the Wall\Therapy mural featuring Martha Cooper, and screening her recently Rochester musicians at Martin Luther King Jr. Park.

THEATER | ‘MACBETH’

KIDS | MARIO THE MAKER MAGICIAN

This is the final weekend to check out the 20th anniversary production of Shakespeare in the Park, presented by the Rochester Community Players: Shakespeare Program. This year’s selection is “Macbeth,” the Bard’s classic, cautionary tale about ambition and its bloody consequences. Set in medieval Scotland, the show follows Macbeth’s downward spiral from hero to mass murderer, from contact with the meddling weird witches to the gory encouragement of his notorious wife, Lady Macbeth. Directed by Jean Gordon Ryon, literary associate and dramaturg at Geva Theatre Center, the show features set design by Ken Dauer that blends beautifully with the wooded-ringed environment of the bowl. Refreshments for purchase will be on site, and a limited number of benches are provided, but audience members are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, blankets, and bug spray.

The world of magic and sleigh-of-hand are ever fascinating to youth and adults alike, but when paired with the maker movement, the possibilities of wonder are endless. This weekend Rochester Museum & Science Center will bring award-winning children’s performer, Mario the Maker Magician, to town to perform two lives shows at the museum. Mario’s show integrates DIY electronics and robotics with an old-school, slapstick, vaudeville aesthetic and rock-n-roll. He has appeared on “Sesame Street” and “Sprout,” and toured North America in 2018 as street magician David Blaine’s opening act.

Performances continue through Saturday, July 27, at 8 p.m. each night at Highland Park Bowl, 1137 South Avenue. A sign-language interpreted performance is scheduled for Friday, July 26. The show is free to attend, but donations are accepted. 234-7840; rochestercommunityplayers.org.

Film

Kaya Scodelario in “Crawl.” PHOTO COURTESY PARAMOUNT PICTURES

Later, alligator “Crawl” (R), DIRECTED BY ALEXANDRE AJA NOW PLAYING [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

Thus far it’s been a relatively disappointing summer for mainstream movies, as one massive, big-budget studio tentpole after another has been a letdown. Thankfully along comes the refreshingly small-scale “Crawl.” A

lean, mean genre picture about an estranged father and daughter repairing their fraught relationship while facing off against a pack of hungry alligators, the film delivers exactly what it promises: fast, action-packed, whiteknuckle thrills, and plenty of scenes featuring people getting chomped on by toothy reptiles.

The ruthlessly efficient thriller comes from French filmmaker Alexandre Aja, the director of brutal little horror flicks like “High Tension” and the buoyantly trashy “Piranha 3D.” The latter movie proves he has experience with water-based creature features, and working from

a script by Michael and Shawn Rasmussen, Aja turns this film into a suspense-filled joy.

“Crawl” features a brilliantly simple B-movie premise: Florida college student Haley (Kaya Scodelario) returns to her former family home at the request of her sister to check on her divorced father, Dave (Barry Pepper), who’s not answering calls as a Category 5 hurricane threatens to make landfall. The trip turns into a rescue mission when she finds him trapped in the house’s crawlspace with a broken leg and a rather nasty looking bite mark from a rogue alligator

that found its way indoors. Things look dire, but go from bad to worse as more of the gator’s buddies descend on their home, while the flood waters rise with dismaying speed.

Writers Michael and Shawn Rasmussen find no shortage of ways to put their characters in increasing jeopardy, allowing Haley and Dave’s plans of escape to crumble as one terrible thing goes wrong after another. The stakes are high but gratifyingly simple: don’t drown, escape the house, and avoid getting eaten.

The crawlspace setting presents its own challenges, with a labyrinth of pipes and architectural obstacles to navigate. But there are also a few narrow spaces the alligators can’t get to, providing the pair bits of temporary sanctuary. The murky waters contain unseen threats waiting to come bursting to the surface, all snapping jaws and gnashing teeth.

A few ill-fated supporting characters pop up occasionally, allowing plenty of opportunity for the giant reptiles turn the water blood red.

There’s also an adorable dog, and spoiler alert for those who need to know the fate of the pup before they slap down money for a ticket: the adorable pooch makes it out just fine.

This is a film with little on its mind besides pure excitement, and you could probably read some minor commentary about the climate and global warming’s effect on severe weather events that force animals to find new hunting grounds. But that’s not really the focus here.

The tension in the father-daughter relationship provides just a hint of fleshy emotional tenderness for the film to sink its teeth into. Aja’s past films have had a certain nasty streak, but here the central relationship keeps him from getting too mean-spirited, and focused on making us care whether these two will make it out alive.
