URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER

Looking for hope from a Midtown casino So… casinos again.

Every few years, somebody wants to build a casino here. Back around 2004, the location of interest was the Sibley Building downtown. More recently, it was Medley Centre. Then Henrietta. Now, downtown Rochester again.

And understandably, the possibility offered by developer Robert Morgan has the mayor’s interest. Morgan has suggested a casino for Parcel 5 on the Midtown property. That’s the land that fronts on Main Street, where McCurdy’s used to be.

Parcel 5 is a key downtown site – key for a developer, and key for the future of the center city. The right development could spur others and boost what’s already underway. The wrong development….

The mayor is particularly interested because Morgan’s plan would include a performing arts center, which has been on a lot of people’s wish list for years. The casino would be on the first two floors, and the performing arts center would sit on top of it.

The Seneca Nation would own the complex, and we’d get a performing arts center, free.

Presumably, the Rochester Broadway Theatre League would handle the operations, booking Broadway musicals and other big acts that they now put on in the Auditorium Theatre. And RBTL has always insisted that with a new theater, more and bigger shows could be brought in.

I continue to worry about the fate of the Auditorium Theatre if RBTL moves those shows out. Its leaders say they would continue to book events into the Aud, but I wonder if there would be enough of them to maintain that facility.

There’s little question, though, that a performing arts center would be a strong addition to downtown. And the people who go to those events could also spend money in nearby restaurants and bars. The center would further enliven downtown, which means that for many people, it would be one more reason to live downtown.

But a casino? I’m not outright opposed; I want to learn more. But I’m skeptical.

Mayor Warren wants to find ways to increase employment opportunities in Rochester, and casinos do have a track record of providing jobs that pay decent wages.

But casinos have plenty of negatives. Most often cited are the societal costs of gambling.

But there are others. Casinos like to keep their customers close, and their complexes often contain restaurants, which not only discourage their own patrons from leaving but can also attract patrons from nearby restaurants and bars. Casinos may even put

Is a free performing arts center enough to overcome the negatives a downtown casino could bring with it?” those competitors out of business, offsetting the job growth their own operation creates.

A casino could bring more people downtown, then, but it might be the only winner.

And is a casino the best use for that important piece of property? Clearly, the mayor will want to be sure that it won’t have a negative impact on its neighbors – including the planned housing and commercial development in the Sibley Building across the street and the Center for Urban Entrepreneurship, which formally opened last week just to the Sibley Building’s east.

Casinos also face a new problem: saturation. The Northeast has simply built too many casinos. Atlantic City casinos’ financial problems – caused by excess competition in the region – have been widely reported, but Upstate New York is also becoming saturated.

And we’re continuing to build.

When Governor Cuomo launched his campaign to encourage casino development in New York State, he billed it as an economic development tool. I was skeptical then; I’m more skeptical now. Seems to me that jobs with a future – and job training for the good jobs that are going unfilled now – are a better tool.

As for Rochester: I applaud the mayor’s search for new ways to increase employment opportunities, particularly for Rochester’s poor. But I hope none of us get carried away with the myth that casinos can be our economic salvation. That thinking carries as much risk as the tables in a casino.

Cuomo’s office subpoenaed

The US Attorney’s Office investigation into Buffalo Billion contracts now includes two former aides for Governor Andrew Cuomo: Joe Percoco and Todd Howe, according to media reports. The governor’s office received subpoenas on Friday and in a statement said that the US Attorney’s Office is looking into conflicts of interest and improper lobbying by unspecified individuals. In the statement, attorneys retained by the governor’s office said that they have reason to believe that state employees involved in the Buffalo Billion were misled and that the state has possibly been defrauded.

Writers & Books names new executive director

Writers & Books has chosen writer and literary translator Kyle Semmel, most recently of Bethesda, Maryland, as its new executive director. The announcement, made earlier this week, followed an 11-month, nationwide search to replace retiring executive director Joe Flaherty. Semmel takes the reins on May 16.

Kress replaces Seligman on council

University of Rochester President Joel Seligman stepped down as co-chair of the Finger Lakes Regional Economic Development Council. Governor Andrew Cuomo appointed Monroe Community College President Anne Kress to take his place. The council is currently working through its yearly process of prioritizing economic development projects and is also lining up projects for the $500 million Upstate Revitalization Initiative.

Writer and literary translator Kyle Semmel will be Writers & Books’ new executive director effective May 16. PROVIDED PHOTO

“We were looking for someone with a real passion for literature, because you can’t really do this job without that,” says Flaherty, who founded Writers & Books in 1980. “We also were looking for a person who was enthusiastic about working in a community setting, as opposed to an academic one.”

Semmel graduated from York Central High School near Geneseo and has experience working for nonprofits in various capacities. He was the development and communications manager of Collegiate Directions and interim director at The Writer’s Center, both in Bethesda.

Much of Writers & Books’ mission and identity is its openness to people of all ages and backgrounds, Flaherty says, so the candidates needed to share that same philosophy.

“We advertised this position for a three-month period in a wide range

of websites and publications, with the hopes of getting the broadest variety of candidates as possible,” he says.

“Throughout the many steps we took to winnow down the number of potential leaders, we were always very aware that we had no preconceptions of who that person might be and gave every likely candidate our full, unbiased attention.”

Flaherty says that Semmel impressed the search committee with his research.

“He studied our website to understand all our programs, researched our recent financial statements, knew our staff members by name even though he had never met them in person before,” he says. “And he was a very good listener, which is a crucial skill that is often overlooked in searches like this.”

“All these expanded-day programs are great, but to do that means having access to the world through the Internet anytime and all the time. For our suburban counterparts, that’s the norm. But it’s just not the norm for our kids.” [ ANNMARIE LEHNER, ROCHESTER CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT ]

EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

District aims for a connected city Rochester City School District officials say that they hope to provide all city students with high-tech devices as the first step to a more ambitious plan that would make broadband available to all city homes.

Many city families can’t afford Internet access, says Annmarie Lehner, the district’s information technology officer. Students often have to go to the library, a friend’s house, or a recreation center to do their homework, she says.

“Only about 50 percent of our students have access to the Internet at home,” she says, “and we’re not talking about access through a cell phone.”

Whether it’s taking an online course or completing an application for college or a job, Lehner says, easy access to the Internet is a basic necessity for students.

“All these expanded-day programs are great, but to do that means having access to the world through the Internet anytime and all the time,” she says. “For our suburban counterparts, that’s the norm.

But it’s just not the norm for our kids.”

Lehner wants the school board to use funds from the Smart Schools Bond Act to buy the hardware that the students need. While some students

have their own iPad’s or Chromebooks, the district wants all of its students from prekindergarten to 12th grade to have the technology. The eventual goal, depending on their grade level, is to have students take the devices home.

The second tier of the plan involves getting money from the New York State Broadband Program, which is designed to provide broadband access to underserved residents and areas of the state. District officials say that they believe that Rochester’s high concentration of poverty qualifies residents for the program.

The district is working with the City of Rochester to tap into the fiber optics’ infrastructure already in place and to connect it with every city residence for free. Lehner says that this would allow broadband Internet speeds of up to one gig per second.

“We would not be providing that level to every home for free, but if we get the grant, we would provide between 10 and 15 megabytes per second, which is sufficient for basic Internet usage,” she says.

Businesses would also have access to the broadband service, she says, though it wouldn’t be free.

“But this would be a great boost, to be a gigabit city and to provide those types of speeds would give more businesses a reason to locate downtown,” Lehner says.

Aldi clears court hurdle A State Supreme Court ruling appears to clear the way for an Aldi store at the corner of North Winton and Blossom roads in the North Winton Village neighborhood.

The City of Rochester’s Zoning Board gave final approval to the store late last year, over the objections of some in the North Winton and Browncroft neighborhoods who said that the store would be too big and out of step with the urban-village character of the area.

A group calling itself Rochester Eastside Residents for Appropriate Development, along with IGATOPSFY, LLC, sued the city, the Zoning Board, the city’s Planning Commission, Aldi, and other parties to try to stop the store.

The groups said that the project didn’t get an adequate environmental review, and that variances granted for the project and for the store’s parking are in violation of the city’s zoning code.

State Supreme Court Justice Thomas Stander in his April 28 decision dismissed some of the petitioners’ claims outright because they lacked the standing to make them, he said.

Stander rejected the requests to annul the project approvals that were granted by the Zoning Board and the Planning Commission.

“The record contains sufficient evidence to find that the [Zoning Board’s] determination to grant the area variances was rational and not arbitrary,” the ruling says.

Spreading the love of local meat The hanger steak might be the perfect symbol for the struggles of the local meat industry.

It’s not as common as porterhouses or strip steaks, but for those in the know, the hanger steak is a flavorful option at a more modest price. But it’s a single, one-poundor-so muscle from an animal that provides more than a quarter ton of meat. So what happens to the rest of the animal?

This is local meat’s dilemma: supply and demand don’t always match up.

Restaurants want familiar or prized cuts of meat, but chefs won’t get that meat from nearby farmers unless they’re assured of an adequate supply. And local farmers who do supply key cuts to restaurants often have to find buyers for the rest of the beef or pork from their animals.

But Kevin and Yeonmo McCann, owners of McCann’s Local Meats, and the

people at Headwater Food Hub see an opportunity to address both ends of the problem. The businesses are partnering on a new cutting and processing facility which should bring local meat, starting with beef and pork, into more restaurants and institutions.

The facility will also give small- and medium-sized farmers a central entity that they can sell their slaughtered animals to (the facility won’t have a kill floor). The operation will market the meat to restaurants and custom butcher it for them, too.

“To me, this is an example of food system development that is looking to the future and is looking toward sustainability,” says Chris Hartman, Headwater’s president.

The McCanns will manage the

operation, which will be located on Headwater’s campus just east of Webster in Ontario, Wayne County. Headwater will distribute the meats through its existing wholesale network.

All of the meat will come from pastured animals and from farms that use humane practices.

“The farmers that we’re going to draw from definitely have the ability to keep up with our quantity, especially right off the bat,” McCann says. “In a lot of ways, hopefully that gives us the opportunity to scale up with each other.”

New York has been more of a dairy state than a meat state, though the numbers have shifted some. Statewide, farmers had 75,000 beef cattle in 1990 and currently have around 110,000, says Mike Baker, beef cattle Extension specialist for

MEMBER OWNED, LOCALLY GROWN! Serving the Rochester Community for over 30 years!

Cornell University’s animal sciences department. There are 625,000 dairy cattle in New York.

New York doesn’t have the highcapacity slaughterhouses that have developed in the Midwest, often due to consolidation within the meat industry.

The state’s slaughtering, cutting, and packing facilities are generally smaller and geared toward farmers who want the meat divided into marketable cuts.

The Finger Lakes region has several such shops, but they are often inundated with work, says Stefan Schwartz, Headwater’s purchasing director. Some shops are booked up a year in advance, he says.

The McCann-Headwater facility is intended to provide relief to the bottleneck in the meat flow. McCann says that the facility is being planned with the objective of processing 30 beef cows and 90 hogs a week.

McCann’s Local Meats opened just after

Memorial Day last year, and its owners set out to clue in local retail customers and select chefs to new cuts of meat. It’s an approach borne out of a deeper philosophy.

“On a retail level, the reason that I make as many different styles of product as I do is because it helps to fully utilize each animal as evenly as possible,” Kevin McCann says. “But the wholesale market is going to be a completely different — pun intended — animal.”

The McCanns and Headwater say that they want to translate that approach to restaurant and institutional customers. The McCanns are trained and experienced chefs, and they plan to draw on that background as they help area restaurants find the cuts they want, and as they work to introduce them to some of the unfamiliar cuts.

A Denver or ranch steak cooks and eats similar to a strip steak, McCann says. And a cross-cut beef flank can make a good substitute for veal shank in the Italian dish osso buco, he says.

The partners say that if they can build up interest in a greater variety of cuts among restaurants, chefs, and diners, it will increase the amount of local meat available. And if restaurants buy those cuts, farmers will get more value out of each animal.

“Restaurants and chefs as a whole, chefs want to use the best ingredients that they can find,” McCann says.

“They want to use local ingredients and have been for a number of years, it’s just that the protein is the difficult nut to crack with that.”

Sanders should stay in

I was quite proud to cast my vote for Bernie Sanders in last month’s New York State primary. Considering the late opening of the polls in certain parts of the state, I think he did pretty well.

And that’s not counting the various voting snafus that occurred around the state, either.

I voted for Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996, and then voted twice for Hillary Clinton for the New York Senate seat. Having said all that, however, I find that during this particular cycle, that she is acting monarchial, as if she is Queen of the Hop. There are calls for Sanders to drop out, which he absolutely must not do. If he did, he would effectively disenfranchise millions of voters down the line who want to vote for him. He should follow the example of Clinton herself in 2008 and continue the race until all citizens have a right to be heard.

As Sanders said, “It is her job to win over my supporters.”

Should we dump ‘Rochester’ name?

Last week, I attended the third screening of the documentary about the discovery of a new and unknown picture of Frederick Douglass.

After the documentary, there was time for questions and comments, including one that I had never heard before.

Why, if we now know that Nathaniel Rochester was not only a slave owner but also a slave trader, would we keep Rochester as the name of our city?

Second, given that the AfricanAmerican community raised all of the funds for the Frederick Douglass memorial statue that is in Highland Park, are there any plans to move it to a more accessible and prominent location?

Even though there aren’t easy answers to those questions, I felt proud to be part of a community gathering where asking them is acceptable.

I have no thoughts yet on the name of our city, but as for the statue, does it make sense to put it in that green space on East Main Street by the Talman Building, where the North Star office was once located?

Dining Raising the bar [CHOW HOUND] BY KATIE LIBBY

This is the third year of the Rochester Cocktail Revival, a week of tastings, seminars, and parties celebrating the vibrant cocktail scene in Rochester. Chuck Cerankosky, coowner of Good Luck and Cure, and Joe Fee of Fee Brothers, along with other Rochester bar and restaurant owners came up with the idea of the Revival in 2013.

“The cocktail scene in Rochester rivals that of bigger cities,” Cerankosky says. “We wanted to showcase that.”

The bars participating in this year’s Revival include Good Luck, Cheshire, Cure, Ox and Stone, The Revelry, The Owl House, The Daily Refresher, and The Playhouse. And events will be held at Fee Brother’s Portland Avenue location. The central party of this year’s Revival is called Heaven Hotel, and will feature samplings from Heaven Hill Distillery, appetizers, a smoked cocktail demonstration, and music by the Coupe De Villes. The party takes place Friday, May 13, 6 p.m. at the Revival’s Public Market site (124 Railroad Street). Tickets are $35-$40 and can be purchased online at the Rochester Cocktail Revival website.

This year’s events also include “Stirred, Not Shaken: Cocktails and Bond at the George Eastman Museum.” A brand ambassador with Absolut Vodka, Josh Pearson, will discuss the history of vodka and cocktails in the James Bond films. The event is Friday, May 13, 6 p.m., at the Eastman Museum (900 East Avenue), and tickets are $25 which includes two Bond-inspired cocktails as well as a tour of the current Bond-themed Taryn Simon exhibit, “Birds of the West Indies.”

A Rochester chapter of the United States Bartenders’ Guild recently opened, and is now the fastest growing branch in the country. The goal of the national organization is to promote education and advance professional bartending. “Our membership is kind of like the child of the Revival,” Cerankosky says. “It demonstrates the enthusiasm we have here.”

The Revival is really for anyone that’s enthusiastic about cocktails and its culture — not just for those in the service industry.

Seminars open to the public will give tips on perfecting their own drinks, like the Rescue the ‘Rita event on Saturday, May 14, which will teach you how to make a better margarita; or if you’re looking to shape up your Mint Julep for that Kentucky Derby party, there’s a Secrets of the Mint Julep and Sazerac event on Sunday, May 15.

The spirit of collaboration energizes the event, even though most of the bars are usually in competition with one another outside of the week. The Revival “raises the tide to bring all of our boats up,” says Cerankosky. “When the scene works together we can show off.”

The Rochester Cocktail Revival takes place Monday, May 9, through Sunday, May 15, at various locations around Rochester. Visit rochestercocktailrevival.com for a full listing of seminars and events.

Reservations are encouraged for both events.

Amore Italian Restaurant & Wine Bar (1750 East Avenue) has recently made some big changes. The Wegmans-owned restaurant brought on chef and restaurateur Jerry Vorrasi (2 Vine, The Brasserie) as a consultant, and added Pasquale Sorrentino (Branca, Next Door) as Chef de Cuisine. Vorrasi and Pasquale have developed a new menu for the restaurant that includes house-made pastas and traditional Neopolitan pizzas. More information at wegmansamore.com.

The gin is made with hand-picked lilac petals and complimentary botanicals, and is available for purchase at Black Button or at select liquor stores in the area. More information at blackbuttondistilling.com.

If you’ve been in the Park Avenue or East End neighborhoods recently, chances are you’ve seen a Rochester Pedal Tour taking place. The pedal-powered trolleys take groups of 13 or 15 people out for pub crawls, bachelorette and bachelor parties, and now a series of mixers for Taco Tuesday, Wine Wednesday, and Singles Mingle Monday. Mixers cost $30 per person. More information can be found at rochesterpedaltours.com.

Margaret Explosion. The Little

I hope this vinyl resurgence continues. Not just because it sounds better, but hopefully it’ll change listening habits. Right now, LPs and EPs are getting gutted by digital butchery as listeners pull out only what they like. But these albums, these collections of music, have been assembled with a lot of blood, sweat, and thought. Even if a band’s album isn’t a concept piece, the order of the songs can drastically affect the impact.

Rochester indie-esque rockers Blue Falcon released a five-song EP, “First Flight,” a couple of years ago, and it played front to back with sturdy cadence and rollercoaster dynamics. I loved it —and still do. Flash forward: Blue Falcon has taken “First Flight” and injected more cuts to arrive at a full-blown, 12-song CD. It’s excellent, touching upon all major food groups in a cool display. Does it play differently? Not necessarily. But then again, it’s more of an extrapolated study of the sounds and themes that were already set in motion … or flight. Does the fact that I love “First Flight” give me an inside track to enjoying this new record more than someone just turned onto the band? Maybe, but either way, it plays great front-to-back.

The flight is just a little longer, that’s all. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Chris Trapper “Symphonies of Dirt & Dust” Starlit Records christrapper.com

As a Push Stars fan in the late 90’s, I always admired the way Chris Trapper approached his guitar playing.

He dug into his Harmony Rocket like it was an acoustic guitar, which gave his songs a sparkly jangle.

Now as a solo artist with an acoustic — just begging to be strummed — he switches it up yet again. This time, it’s in reverse as he takes an electric approach on his latest contribution to his own impressive stacks-o-wax, “Symphonies of Dirt & Dust.”

Trapper balances his guitar within the pastel tones of the backing music; he also balances romance and wonder with a stark sincerity and beauty that is unmatched. His songs are thought provoking, tear provoking, and smile provoking. The songs clearly come first to this fine artist — thoughts, tears, and smiles aside. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Music show. And throughout his teenage years, Lindner expanded on Joplin’s pieces and improvised on Doors and Phish tunes.

“I was mimicking other people,” Lindner says. “I tried to sound like Page McConnell from Phish when I was 15. I decided that’s a terrible idea; I need to develop my own style, so I studied jazz with Richard DeLaney at Hochstein.” He was soon into a variety of greats: Bill Evans, Oliver Nelson, Herbie Hancock, and Jimi Hendrix.

Despite his keyboard prowess, when it came time for college, his piano teacher told him he was not good enough for music school. “He said, ‘You can’t read.’ I think he was right, but that was kind of a big blow to me at the time. But I’m really glad I didn’t go to music school.”

His father worked at RIT, so he decided to study packaging science there. But he was ultimately not interested in working for a corporation, so he gravitated back to music.

Charlie Lindner (center) will perform with drummer Matt Ramerman and bassist Kyle Volk at Hochstein School of Music and Dance this weekend.

Playing outside the box Charlie Lindner SATURDAY, MAY 7 HOCHSTEIN PERFORMANCE HALL, 50 NORTH PLYMOUTH AVENUE 8 P.M. | $10-$12 | SPRINGINTOMUSIC. EVENTBRITE.COM; CHARLIELINDNER.COM [ PROFILE ] BY RON NETSKY

A little over a decade ago, Charlie Lindner was making a good living at Hasbro, the toy company in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. He was applying the knowledge from his college degree in Packaging Science, making the containers for G.I. Joes and Nerf Balls more cost-efficient.

Lindner studied the subject at Rochester Institute of Technology, working in a dynamics lab, crushing and breaking things and then studying how the packaging reacted.

But soon after earning his degree and landing a job in the field, he went back to his real love: keyboards.

He’ll showcase the latest incarnation of his keyboard career in a concert at Hochstein School of Music and Dance, where he’ll lead a jazz trio with elements of classical training and a touch of digital enhancement. Over the 12 CITY MAY 4-10, 2016

last two decades, Lindner has been on a long and winding journey through a labyrinth of musical genres.

Listening to Lindner now, playing his infectious jazz-blues composition, “Escape From A Mexican Prison,” you might not imagine that he was once a force on the electronic music scene, surrounded by synthesizers and keyboards — Nord, Moog, Korg, etc. — and thousands of dancing and trancing fans.

“I’d play four at once,” Lindner says. “I spent thousands of hours learning to maximize what I had. I had 10 pedals so I was able to sustain. I would play left-hand bass on the Moog, then I would do the melodies.”

His duo, The Manhattan Project, packed a punch and drew in large crowds — upwards of 3,000 fans at a festival at Mariaville Lake (near Albany). The genre is commonly referred to as electronic dance music, but Lindner believed his variant was a cut above: He called it intellectual dance music.

“If you listened, you’d think it was a DJ, but we did it live,” Lindner says. “Electronic music has several sub-genres: techno, trance, house, dubstep, drum & bass. We did everything. We were able to stream songs together for two hours

non-stop. We were the Phish of the electronic scene. Fans would really get down and dance hard on some songs; on others they’d just kind of look bug-eyed at us and zone out.”

Despite his success he was tiring of the electronic dance scene and the less-thansatisfying sound. “If you play on a half-million dollar system, it sounds great,” Lindner says.

“But most of the time the fidelity is horrible.

And not everybody wants to go to a show and get their ears blasted out and be around a lot of people on ecstasy.”

Lindner’s keyboard journey began in the late-1980’s when, at 8 years old, he started playing his grandmother’s Lowrey organ. His grandfather had played the organ as an amateur, and the family’s keyboard roots went even further back. Lindner’s great-grandmother taught piano and his great-uncle played the instrument on Mississippi riverboats in the 1930’s through the 50’s.

At first Lindner’s father taught him songs on electronic keyboard. In 1989 the family bought a piano. “I resisted lessons,” Lindner says. “I wanted to play by ear.”

By the age of 11, he was playing Scott Joplin’s “Maple Leaf Rag” at his school talent

After leaving Hasbro, Lindner went on the road with the Chris Beard Blues Band in 2004, spending a year and a half touring in the South and the Midwest. By 2007, Lindner was back at his piano studies with Mike Van Allen at Roberts Wesleyan College and started a funk band, Macro Meltdown. He and the band’s drummer formed the Manhattan Project a couple of years later.

The duo toured the live electronic scene over the next five years, but he found himself wanting more keyboard training.

So two years ago he started classical studies with Emma Yun-Chieh Hsieh, an Eastman School of Music graduate. Deadmau5 tunes were replaced by Chopin sonatas; futuristic electronic music gave way to the hit parade of the 1840’s.

“My teacher said ‘You’re doing something so cool, why do you want to learn classical?’”

With a renewed sense of technique and composition, Lindner got back into jazz, but he hasn’t left the electronics behind completely.

“I had this crazy idea,” Lindner says, “I’m going to process the piano through Ableton, a DJ software. Using very highend microphones, the music goes into the computer through the Ableton software and comes out through a high-fidelity Bose system.

You can add effects to the acoustic piano sound. All of a sudden the piano sounds even bigger than it is.”

But he’ll reserve the pyrotechnics for just a few tunes toward the end of the Hochstein show. Most of the performance will feature his acoustic trio with Matt Ramerman on drums and Kyle Volk on bass.

ROCK | DIALECTS

Even through a cascade of notes, there’s a feeling of infinite, vast space that Dialects creates in its music. It’s like standing on the bridge of a speeding spaceship and looking out at pinpoints of stars and bright nebula whizzing past — and it may be what the band was going for, with song titles like “Unknown Orbit,” “Spectacular Supernovae,” and “It’s Not a Ghost … It’s Gravity.” The Scottish quartet pushes intricate math-rock into the territory of boundless post-rock, while taking dives into heavy, thick riffs along the way. It’s like taking a ride on a Falcon 9.

ON THURSDAYS; 8 P.M. ON FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS; 2 P.M. ON SUNDAYS $30-$33 | DOWNSTAIRSCABARET.COM [ REVIEW ] BY LEAH STACY

Every romantic relationship has a life cycle consisting of several stages. Often, it looks something like attraction, romance, commitment, reality, recommitment (or severance). For anyone who’s been in a longterm relationship, it’s a familiar pattern.

The relatable factor of relationships is exactly what Oliver Blatt capitalizes on in his original musical, “The Book of Love,” which opened at Downstairs Cabaret Theatre last Friday. Blatt is the creator of several original works, and for the last decade has been the artistic producer at the Pines Dinner Theatre in Allentown, Pennsylvania. “The Book of Love,” which debuted at the Pines Dinner Theatre in 2009, won “Best Original Musical” at the regional theater awards in Lehigh Valley that same year.

“The Book of Love” follows a somewhat old-fashioned boy, Adam (Matias Polar), and girl, Evelyn (Stephanie Rubeo), who are looking for love. When both of their worried mothers mail them copies of a self-help book called “The Book of Love,” the two reluctantly follow the book’s instructions and end up in one another’s arms. Time progresses from a memorable first date and wedding planning to pre-nuptial jitters and the first decade of marriage. The couple experiences the many stages of a long-term love life with

the help of a zany cast of rotating characters (all played by JP Dunphy).

It’s worth noting that a three-person cast powers the entire show, which is an impressive feat. Blatt has written a dinner theater show, and the actors have clearly performed that style before: The trio excels at overacting, mugging, and pandering to elicit audience laughs. (Not the best acting, but it’s the kind that cabaret-style shows tend to offer.)

In the role of geeky Adam, Polar is a good — though not perfect — fit. His voice is pleasant, and in the second act number, “The What Went Wrong Blues,” it’s apparent he has a knack for rasp and rockabilly. The youthful-looking Polar is also infinitely more likeable as a grouchy, self-absorbed husband in act two than he is as a syrupy young lover in the first act.

As Evelyn, Rubeo is every bit the stereotypical ingénue of musical theatre.

But her earnest facial expressions and exaggerated gestures are more of a fit for a high school stage than a show with a considerable price tag, and the high notes she screeches to hit only add to the fact.

She does have some connective moments with Polar, though, and her lower-octave songs were more enjoyable.

It’s not unfair to say Dunphy steals the show — but he has more opportunities, perhaps. He plays a handful of different characters, each a seemingly over-the-top reincarnation of a 90’s-era Disney sidekick, with unique accents and quirks. His voice is strong, and he re-energizes the show during his scenes. Dunphy’s portrayal of “The Book of Love” author, Dr. Siegfried, serves as the narrator of sorts, while his other characters (who appear throughout the couple’s journey) — a French restaurant

owner, a flamboyant wedding planner, a hippie-dippy New Age marriage counselor — provide a few laughs and some (forced) audience interaction.

The set is nothing too elaborate; a few rotating pieces and projected images to inform the narrative. Tech elements left a bit to be desired on Saturday, as the mic levels were painfully high at certain points.

Because the music is not played live, it’s possible it was hard for the soundboard operator to gauge volume.

At first glance, “The Book of Love” has plenty of potential for an entertaining two hours. And it may be for some audience members. But just know that it’s not quite serious theater. In addition to the $30-something ticket price, it might be worth buying a bottle of wine from the lobby cafe to soften the edges.

Consider it dessert theater.

COMEDY | AMY SCHUMER

Stand-up comedian Amy Schumer has become well known over the last few years as the creator, co-producer, co-writer, and star of the award-winning Comedy Central sketch series “Inside Amy Schumer,” and as the writer and star of the recent Judd Apatow comedy “Trainwreck.” Her popularity is in part due to the relatability of her topics — like the double standard of aging and desirability in the skit “Last F***able Day” — as well as her smart collaborations with a variety of musicians, actors, and other comedians. Schumer’s humor frequently blends sharp feminist commentary with lowbrow delivery, but she’s one of those comics who states what we’re all thinking, and says it in our native potty mouth.

Amy Schumer will perform Friday, May 6, at Blue Cross Arena, One War Memorial Square. 8 p.m. $59-$125. 758-5300; bluecrossarena.com; amyschumer.com.

THEATER | “THE MAY QUEEN”

Geva Theatre closes its 2015-16 season with playwright Molly Smith Metzler’s “The May Queen,” a new work that’s brimming with both empathic human drama and clever, quirky humor.

The play tells the story of Jen Nash — once the beloved “May Queen” of her high school — who mysteriously returns to her hometown to take a temp job in a claustrophobic office space.

Jen’s former classmates, now coworkers, remember her well, but the difference between their perceptions and reality form the crux of this captivating play. Now a writer for the Netflix hit “Orange Is the New Black,” Metzler brings her signature wit and insightful flair for poignant interpersonal relationships to this revised version of the work, directed by Amanda Charlton.

“The May Queen” was commissioned and premiered by The Chautauqua Theater Company in 2014.

Preview performances of Geva Theatre’s “The May Queen” continue Wednesday, May 4, through Friday, May 6. Opening Night is Saturday, May 7, and the production runs through Sunday, May 29, at Geva Theatre Center’s Wilson Stage, 75 Woodbury Boulevard. $25-$59. 232-4382.

Undefeated in graffiti “Pieces of My Soul: New Works by RANGE” THROUGH JUNE 11 AXOM GALLERY & EXHIBITION SPACE, 176 ANDERSON ALLEY TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, 11 A.M. TO 6 P.M. FREE | 232-6030; AXOMGALLERY.COM [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

You can usually tell when a graffiti artist has a gallery show by the names dropped all over the block. Following the Saturday night opening of Victor “RANGE” Zarate’s solo show at AXOM Gallery, monikers in colorful calligraphy were scribbled and scrawled on the city’s surfaces up and down Anderson Avenue — consider it a guest book that extends to the outside of the space.

It’s not like these tags are entirely out of place. AXOM is nestled in a stretch of buildings informally dubbed “the legal wall,” where graffiti was once allowed. Though that permission was revoked years ago, the burners, pieces, and tags remain — it’s a dense visual made by many hands over the years.

RANGE’s show inside the gallery consists of paintings in acrylic, oil, airbrush, and spray paint, and markers on Bristol board and other surfaces. The selection highlights his immaculate skills in letterform and portraiture as well as his sharp wit, which is often expressed through his titles.

Though this is RANGE’s first solo show in a commercial gallery, he’s a well-established figure in Rochester’s art scene. RANGE is a member of Rochester’s FUA Krew, which was established in 1989 and has members around the world, and he’s a tattoo artist at Vigilante Tattoo. Plus he’s a dedicated family man.

Growing up, RANGE faced many challenges, from living with minimal resources 18 CITY MAY 4-10, 2016

in the inner city, to undergoing multiple reconstructive surgeries to his face due to a birth defect. As physical activities were difficult to participate in, “his imagination and creativity were an expansive field for him to explore,” says AXOM director Margot Muto in a provided statement.

Art became “an expression that beat depression and there was no turning back,” RANGE says. “Through graffiti art, I am in control of love, pain, joy, pride, failure, and success. It was a way to speak for those who in words alone cannot express their true feelings. I am the visual voice of the ghetto.”

Through his imagery, RANGE conveys culture and conflict, beauty and resilience. Two portraits of women drawn in marker on welfare applications, “We’ll Be Fine” and “Against All Odds,” speak of the artist’s resourcefulness as well as his sense of empathy for social strife.

In addition to several canvases filled with the stylishly formed letters of his name and his B-Boy characters, there are canvases of lovingly rendered icons such as Emiliano Zapata, Frida Kahlo, Selena, Marilyn Monroe, and Kat Von D. Beautiful women are in no short supply in RANGE’s work, and they run the gamut from bodacious B-Girls to queens of every shade, shape, and size. During the opening party, I heard more than one viewer insist that RANGE would make some serious loot if he made a t-shirt from his painting, “I Can Be Wonder Woman,” which features a full-figured honey rocking the Amazon’s attire.

Elsewhere, RANGE provides some pointed social commentary in “The Waiting Game,” a painting of a blonde babe showing off her lingerie-clad derriere. The gal is preoccupied with a vision crowded with social media “likes,” yet her efforts have so far gone unrewarded.

The work doesn’t read as a harsh criticism so much as it is an observation of what can be

a pretty futile exercise — we’re all hooked on receiving those approval icons. If you follow RANGE on social media, you might have seen a recent post of a dime bag stuffed with Instagram hearts.

In the gallery proper, a grid of dozens of small square canvases includes every expression imaginable with B-Boys, Luchadoras, revolutionaries, players, and celebs. Nearby, a wall-mounted denim jacket, like many other pieces in the show, is a tribute to hip-hop. The back panel is painted with a colorful city scene, a B-Boy in a RUN DMC shirt, and the word “FRESH” emblazoned overhead. This mean-mugging character appears again, painted on a spray can encased in a shadow box and titled “In Case of Emergency.”

RANGE humorously references the tools of his trade again in “The Secret Ingredient,” a pop portrait of a spray can dressed up as “Adobo graffiti seasoning,” an exclusive offering from GOYA. RANGE is one of the hardest working artists I’ve ever met. He constantly shares his talents on Rochester’s walls and posts progress shots of his studio work almost daily.

Every bit of the work in this gallery show is satisfyingly sharp — except for the soft-focus, photo-realist airbrush portraits, which are reach-out-and-touch lush.

Viewers can also peruse a portfolio of RANGE’s drawings, which include more celebs, characters, and portraits with socially-conscious commentary, as well as a bit of insight into his process of sketching out his letters.

“When people see my work I’d like them to realize that graffiti art is not only a valid art form, but also a lifeline to someone trying to reach out to the rest of the world,” RANGE says.

[ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

Greece Ridge 12

Plenty of films have mined awkward dinner parties for the sake of laughs. Forced small talk, unwanted reunions, and the occasional clashing of personalities, all heightened by the presence of alcohol: it’s a situation ripe for uncomfortable comedy. But with “The Invitation,” director Karyn Kusama (“Girlfight,” “Jennifer’s Body,” and “Æeon Flux”) has something else in

mind entirely, as a swanky Los Angeles dinner party among eight estranged friends gradually descends into paranoia, fear, and violence.

As the film opens, Will (Logan MarshallGreen, “Prometheus”) and his girlfriend Kira (Emayatzy Corinealdi, who can also currently be seen as Miles Davis’ first wife in “Miles Ahead”) are on their way to attend a dinner party hosted by Will’s ex-wife Eden (Tammy Blanchard) and her new husband David (Michiel Huisman) at the chic Hollywood Hills home Will and Eden once shared. The evening is meant to be a reunion between old friends and loved ones with whom the couple has been out of touch, and to celebrate their recent return from a lengthy, off-the-grid trip to Mexico.

There are obvious reasons for Will to dread an evening with an ex and her new husband, but even from the start, things don’t feel right. From Eden’s vacant, unnatural smile to the way the home’s tasteful redecoration doesn’t quite cover up his memories of the past, everything puts

Will on edge. Will finds himself suspicious of the couple’s true motives, his paranoia exacerbated by the presence of two strangers — Pruitt (John Carroll Lynch) and Sadie (Lindsay Burdge) — who Eden and Will claim to have met while in Mexico. Then David sits the group down and shows them one rather unnerving video.

Even as the evening grows more and more odd, Will’s friends wave off his fears: “Yeah, they’re a little weird, but this is L.A.” Meanwhile the script, by Matt Manfredi and Phil Hay — writers of Kusama’s “Æon Flux” as well as the “Ride Along” movies, of all things — casts enough doubt that we question how reliable Will actually is. Fragmented glimpses of his memories fill in the tragic details that ended his marriage to Eden; they aren’t treated as surprise revelations, but give us insight into our protagonist’s emotional state, and tie into the film’s explorations of the various ways we deal with grief and trauma. Green’s excellent performance adds depth to a character we can never quite get a proper read on.

Through it all, everyone attempts to stay on their best behavior, but the decorum can’t last as the film transitions from a psychological thriller into a domestic horror story. Admittedly, it gets increasingly difficult to believe that everyone would stick around at this particular soiree. The friends stay well beyond the point that common sense would have told most people to get the hell out of there, and if you’re so inclined, it’s

easy to read the film as a pointed comment on our general obsession with civility. Whether it’s out of politeness or an ingrained sense of propriety, we can be so afraid to avoid rocking the boat that the actual crazies among us get tolerated. That idea is taken to extremes here, but for the most part it works.

I did find myself wishing for a few more zigs and zags to the story; if you think you’ve figured out where things are headed early on, you’re probably right. On the other hand, it’s a nice change for this type of film to not rely solely on twists and surprises in order to hold everything together.

Undeniably, “The Invitation” works as well as it does because of Kusama’s direction. She does a wonderful job ratcheting up the tension and claustrophobia on the way toward the eventual payoff; the journey would be more than entertaining enough on its own. She’s able to create a mood of gradually mounting dread while also nailing small but crucial details, like the way she allows us to get a sense of the house’s layout so that when it becomes crucial later on, we know exactly who is where.

Working with cinematographer Bobby Shore, the director incorporates shadows beautifully, and once things start to get weird, she keeps the camera trained on her actors’ faces, picking up the thoughts the characters are too afraid to say out loud. Even better, Kusama finds the perfect final shot to end the story on a fantastically chilling note.

Stained Glass Meets Jacuzzi

18 Greenwood Street Nestled on the banks of the Genesee River, the Corn Hill neighborhood has received many nicknames over the years—“The Third Ward,” the “Ruffled Shirt District” and “Rochester’s Broadway” to name a few. But to the historic house hunter, Corn Hill is best known as the oldest residential neighborhood in the city.

Settled shortly after the Erie Canal was built, Corn Hill is where updated 19th century homes mix with stylish townhouses, quiet green spaces and an ornate gazebo.

In the heart of Corn Hill lies the Corn Hill Preservation District, established in 1977, where architectural gems remain in abundance. Stately street posts and brick sidewalk pavers announce crossways such as Greenwood Street. Head up the street to 18 Greenwood and you will find inside a delightful combination of historic house elements, inventive recent upgrades and expansive rooms primed for further development. Coming up the front steps into this 1887 home, notice the decorative star design on the gable above the open porch.

Rich Queen Anne detailing is further found on the intricately carved original pine doors with stained glass insets. Just inside the door, try out the original working turn doorbell.

Follow the light from the front stained glass to the illuminated new kitchen, complete with brand new appliances, including a five burner gas stove and dishwasher. Three tall casement windows further showcase not only the lovely brick backsplash of the kitchen, but also the eastern light coming from the fenced backyard.

More light can be found in the expansive unfinished double room with its many windows and wood burning stove, backed by original brick. Close your eyes and imagine the sunny living and dining room possibilities. More flexible rooming is available upstairs.

FORECLOSURE OF TAX LIENS BY THE CITY OF ROCHESTER STATE OF NEW YORK SUPREME COURT COUNTY OF MONROE IN THE MATTER OF THE FORECLOSURE OF TAX LIENS PURSUANT TO TITLE 4 OF PART E OF ARTICLE IX OF THE CHARTER OF THE CITY OF ROCHESTER.

LIST OF DELINQUENT TAXES AS OF JULY 1, 2015 PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on April 13, 2016, the Corporation Counsel of the City of Rochester filed in the office of the Monroe County Clerk a list of parcels of property on which the City of Rochester holds a lien for taxes, assessments, fees or other charges which is at least one year old and which the City of Rochester intends to foreclose by an action in rem pursuant to Title 4 of Part E of Article IX of the Charter of the City of Rochester. A copy of that list was published on April 13, 2016.

The foreclosure list contains as to each such parcel: 1. The tax account number and address; 2. The name of the last known owner; 3. The amount of each tax lien, except for a $175.00 charge which has been added to each tax lien pursuant to Section 9-123(A)(3)of the City Charter but which is not reflected on the printed list.

All persons having an interest in the real property described in the foreclosure list are hereby notified that the filing of the list constitutes the commencement by the City of Rochester of an action in the Supreme Court, Monroe County, to foreclose the tax liens therein described by an action in rem and that the list constitutes a notice of pendency of action and a complaint by the City of Rochester against each parcel of land therein described to enforce the satisfaction of such tax liens. This action is brought against the real property only. No personal judgment will be entered in this action for the delinquent taxes, assessments, fees or other charges.

A copy of the foreclosure list has been filed in the office of the City Treasurer and will remain open for public inspection up to and including September 30, 2016, which is the redemption deadline date.

Any person may on or before that date redeem any parcel on the foreclosure list by paying to the City Treasurer the amount of all delinquent taxes, assessments, fees and other charges stated on the foreclosure list, plus the $175.00 charge referred to above, plus accrued interest and late payment charges.

Any person having any interest in any parcel on the foreclosure list may, at any time up to the redemption deadline date, serve a verified notice of interest or an answer upon the Corporation Counsel setting forth in detail the nature and amount of his interest or any defense or objection to the foreclosure. The notice of interest or answer must also be filed in the office of the Monroe County Clerk. Where a valid notice of interest is served, the parcel will be held for a foreclosure auction pursuant to Section 9-143 of the City Charter.

Any person who fails to redeem or to serve a notice of interest or an answer by the redemption deadline date shall be barred thereafter from asserting his interest in the pending foreclosure action, and judgment in foreclosure may be granted without regard for, and in extinguishment of, the interest of any such person.

FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD

That’s Entertainment!

One notably hypersuccessful YouTube channel (700,000 subscribers) features Mr. Lauri Vuohensilta of Finland pulverizing various objects (such as a bowling ball) in a 100-ton hydraulic press. (Said Vuohensilta, “I think it’s built into every person — the need to destroy something.”) That channel is free of charge, but other entrepreneurs have created 24-hour pay-per-month websites and apps offering similarly specialized programming, e.g., “Zombie Go Boom” (actors taking chain saws to things; $5 a month), “Hungry Monk Yoga” (posing in orange robes while teaching martial arts; $15 a month), and “Lather Fantasies” (clothed people “excessively shampooing each other’s hair”; $20 a month). (An April Wall Street Journal report noted that the “lather” channel “sounds kinkier than it actually is.”)

Recurring Themes

(Recent examples of traditional weird news themes repeated over “News of the Weird’s” 28 years, along with updates on a few of our favorite characters.)

— Restaurants in Tokyo continue their vigilance for unique, attention-demanding animal themes to attract diners. Eateries showcasing tableside cats, rabbits, owls, hawks, and even snakes have tried their hands, with the latest being Harry, offering food and drink — and 20 to 30 teacup-size hedgehogs for diners to fondle while awaiting meal service. The equivalent of $9 brings an hour of cuddling rights.

— Fine Points of the Law: In some states, as News of the Weird has reported, visitors with the barest “right” to occupy property (e.g., invited in for one night but never left) cannot be evicted except by court order, which might take weeks to obtain. In April, owners in Flint, Michigan, and Nampa,

Idaho, were outraged that nothing could be done quickly to remove squatters from their vacated houses. (The Nampa squatter produced a “lease” that, though fraudulent, was enough to send the sheriff away.)

— The two most recent instances of suspects who claimed that the drugs or paraphernalia found in their genitals during police searches were not theirs (but were only being stored there for other people) were Tiffany Flores, 23, arrested in Fellsmere, Florida, on April 5 with a crack pipe in her vagina, and Deondre Lumpkin, 23, arrested in Largo, Florida, on March 22 with crack cocaine “concealed beneath his genitals” (though he did admit owning the marijuana found in his car).

— Smooth Getaway: The December burglary of the Halifax bank in Sale, England, drew attention even though the hour was just after midnight — because Jamie Keegan and Marc Shelton (both age 33) had tried to haul away an ATM, but it fell out the back of their van, producing calamitous noise (and sparks in the road). (Also, the ATM had an “out of order” sign on it, raising still another question about the efficacy of the crime.) In February the Minshull Street Crown Court sentenced the pair to 40 months each in prison. (Bonus: In court, Shelton helpfully corrected the legal record by reminding officials that the pair’s crime was actually “burglary” and not, as written, “robbery.”)

— The most recent suspect to have the bright idea to try biting off his fingertips (to avoid identification) was Kirk Kelly, wanted in Tampa for violating probation and picked up by police in February in Akron, Ohio. While being detained in Akron, he had begun to chew the skin off his fingers. Even if he had succeeded, he was easily identified as Kirk Kelly because of his body tattoos (“Port Tampa” and “813” — Tampa’s area code).

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 28 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): If you want love and affection, step up and make a commitment. Your success will be determined by how much you are willing to put into the relationship. Discuss what you have to offer, and together you can build a future based on what you both bring to the table.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t stay in when you should be out painting the town.

Socializing will help you explore new possibilities that can lead to true love. Make a concerted effort to pursue someone who has qualities you admire, and you will be given the opportunity to present your attributes.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Secret affairs are prevalent. Ask questions regarding a potential partner’s status before you fall hard for someone living a duel life. Expect to be told what you want to hear instead of the actual facts. Don’t be tempted by charm, good storytelling and bragging.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your attraction to someone unique will run deep. Don’t be shy or hold back your feelings.

Be bold about what you have to offer and how you would like to move forward. Romance will help you complete the message you want to portray.

Let love flourish.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Love will leave you feeling empty. You’ll face opposition and stubborn behavior if you try too hard to win someone’s attention. Back off and do your own thing. For the time being, you are best to let love come to you instead of trying to make it happen.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Romantic gestures will go over well. You’ll entice the object of your desires with your stability and solid qualities. Be open about what you have to offer, and you will find out quickly if the person who has caught your attention is a keeper.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’ll be caught between the

rush of love and the person you are entertaining as a long-term partner being able to pull his or her weight. Wager the pros and cons before you let love sweep you into a situation that doesn’t live up to your standard of living.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Love is all around you. Making the right choice won’t be quite as easy. You’ll be tempted by someone unusual but sought after by someone who has so much more to offer long-term.

Wager the pros and cons, and make the decision that will stand the test of time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your emotions will fluctuate,

making it difficult for you to make up your mind when dealing with affairs of the heart. You may think you want to make a commitment, but you are just as likely to change your mind at the last minute and be smitten with someone you encounter.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Let past experience help you make the right choice when it comes to love. Recognizing similarities between someone you had a poor relationship with and someone you are considering getting involved with now will help you ward off a mistake that will cost you emotionally and financially.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

You’ll be in the mood for love and want to move quickly.

Before you make a promise to anyone, consider the long-term outcome and the hurdles you will have to cross in order to make this relationship work.

Experiment and see how compatible you are before making a commitment.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you can’t stop thinking about someone from your past, address that situation before you try to move forward with someone new. A fresh look at an old situation will give you the insight required to help you make a choice that is in your best interest.
