Highland Park deserves better

With better weather, and despite the lilacs blooming before its start, attendance at this year’s Lilac Festival rebounded from last year, when rain forced the event to close for several days. More than one week since the end of the festival, Highland Park still had not been properly cleaned. Pieces of plastic, ticket stubs, broken glass, tire ruts, uncovered electrical outlets, downed tree branches, and cigarette butts, among other debris, could be found in nearly every square foot of park space – a true shame, given the visitors this Memorial Day to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. And on June 4, there were still 105 gallons or more of used (I assume) frying oil in plastic containers in Highland Park left over from the Lilac Festival. My suggestion is that the Lilac Festival aim to become a zerowaste event, that teams of volunteers scan every inch of the festival site immediately afterwards to pick up litter and other debris, and that the festival and park throughout the year provide trash pickup. This initiative and effort should be repeated during the Big Rib BBQ and Blues Fest in July. In 2011, that festival left behind many long tire ruts, as well as tons of broken glass, zip ties, and other litter that was not picked up until late summer. I avoided walking my dogs in the park for nearly two months until the Parks Department picked up the broken glass. It should not be the responsibility of Monroe County Parks to clean up Highland Park after public festivities. In fact, according to the special-use event application from County Parks, the Lilac and Big Rib BBQ festivals are responsible for the trash and recycling generated during the events. Yet the special use fees are inadequate, and there are no fines or penalties for leaving the parks worse than festival planners found them. As the coordinator for a firstyear festival last fall, I know that it is possible to return a site to its original state, free of trash and damage, at the end of a festival.

It would be nice, in the case of the use of Highland Park, if everyone, even those people who travel to see the lilacs once each year, felt the same way. Furthermore, it would be spectacular to see money raised and set aside for the reconstruction of the Ellwanger and Barry Children’s Pavilion, restoration of the John Dunbar Memorial Pavilion in Highland Bowl, maintenance of the park throughout the year, and creation of a team to list Rochester’s entire Frederick Law Olmsted-designed park system to the National Register. Rochesterians can and should do a little better for its first park. JOEL HELFRICH, ROCHESTER

Helfrich teaches history at Monroe Community College and lives in the South Wedge in the house built by John Dunbar, the horticulturalist who brought the lilacs to Rochester in the late 19th century.

Camera priorities

I find it interesting to read that the city is curbing purchases of surveillance cameras (“Camera Concerns,” May 16), citing upkeep of the cameras as a major concern while the city continues to install red-light cameras to improve safety at intersections. I would think that the city would be just as concerned with the upkeep of the red-light cameras as they are with surveillance cameras and would recognize the safety benefits of surveillance cameras as they do red-light cameras. Of course there is a major difference between the two systems: revenue. Red-light cameras are revenue generators while surveillance cameras are not. Perhaps some of the revenue generated from red-light cameras could be used to support surveillancecamera upkeep and improve upon the 25 percent downtime for the 110 surveillance cameras installed that help keep our neighborhoods safe. MARTIN PETRELLA, ROCHESTER

Voting complicity

In his guest commentary on May 30, Marvin McMickle writes: “The United States is not a theocracy under which religious law takes precedence over laws passed by democratically elected legislative bodies.... people need to be sure that their support of or disagreement with a presidential candidate should not stand on a single issue.... they should remember that if they decide

to stay home on Election Day because of that one issue, then they are ‘throwing the baby out with the bath water.’” However, beyond both “religious law” and “constitutional law” are self-evident realities of which some of these “laws” are a reflection and upon which some are based. If I am aware that violence only engenders more violence (today or tomorrow) and I choose to embrace and strive to actualize non-violence, but then vote for a political candidate, presidential or otherwise, who does or does not embrace nonviolence yet is responsible for initiating violent actions and/or perpetuating already existing violence, I then am complicit and cooperating with violence. So, out goes the baby (nonviolently, of course)! Something new and different comes into being. DOUG HOENER, ROCHESTER

Style, substance, and Wright

The Urban Journal column on Jeremiah Wright was right on (“Rhetoric Aside, Was Jeremiah Wright Wrong?” May 23). When the early news featured Obama’s minister and his shocking statements, my first thoughts were that these articles were written by folks who had not grown up in the black church (and not even in Southern Baptist churches). I fear that most of the Eastern press falls in that category. It is so easy for us to ignore, or not recognize, the fact that our country does not feel or express itself with one mind. Anyone who has not moved from West to East or South to North may not recognize the differences. I grew up and went to college in Ohio and had many good friends there who seemingly had similar views to mine. Now when I travel through the Midwest, or even exchange e-mails with these friends, I see how different our views have become‚ at least partially‚ shaped by the Eastern press. Experiences with Rochester friends who attend black churches have also helped me see the different styles of preaching, even here in Rochester. Jeremiah Wright’s style is perhaps overly emotional and dramatic for many Rochester readers, but, as you say, the substance of it mirrors the justice described in the Old Testament and was familiar to his congregation.

Rochester’s students and our crisis of commitment For years, the Rochester school district has been working hard to boost its graduation rate. On Monday, the state Education Department released its latest report, and while overall, the state’s rate inched upward, it fell in some districts. One of them was Rochester. So if you wanted more evidence that what we’re doing isn’t working, there it is. Rochester’s graduation rate in 2011 was 45.5 percent – down from 46.1 percent in 2010. And for boys – most of whom are black or Hispanic – the graduation rate was only 39.7 percent. I spent a good part of this column space last month focusing on the crisis in Rochester’s schools, and that series brought some fascinating and important comments from readers, both agreeing and disagreeing with what I had said. Let me wrap up this series by addressing a few of those concerns, and repeat some of my own. Some readers, citing their own family history, contested the core of my argument, which is that concentrated poverty is at the root of the crisis. And yes, generations of immigrants have come to the US, overcome poverty, secured a good education for their children, and moved into the middle class or beyond. But much has changed since then: the availability of good-paying jobs for unskilled workers, family structure – even, as a recent Brookings report says, the nature of poverty itself. There is something inherently different about what we’re facing now. Talk to anyone who teaches or volunteers in a Rochester classroom. Unquestionably, we must expect high-quality teaching. And parents must be involved in their children’s educational life, as many are. But there are forces at work in Rochester’s concentrated-poverty neighborhoods that are overwhelming teachers’ efforts, overwhelming the hopes and efforts of many students’ families. Unless we deal with those forces, we’ll never see the graduation rates that all of us want – and that the students deserve. Some readers worried that I was disparaging the efforts of the dedicated volunteers in our schools. I agree that their efforts are important. As one letter writer said last week, we must do everything we can: donate musical instruments to schools and to children who otherwise wouldn’t have them; donate books; donate clothing; tutor; mentor…

This is a problem that must be addressed politically and financially, by the Greater Rochester community, city and suburbs.” But I have several concerns. One is that we can’t do enough of that to change things appreciably. I know that some of these efforts can indeed make a huge difference to individual children. I’ve heard the stories. But they are not the solution to the larger problem. If they were, we wouldn’t have the graduation rate we have in Rochester; dedicated volunteers have been helping city children for decades. More seriously, there’s the risk that these efforts will divert attention from dealing with the concentrated poverty in this community. And as important as volunteers are, for me they raise an additional concern: we can not fix this problem on the cheap, and by refusing to provide enough money for high-quality teacher training; by paying many teachers less than they deserve; by not spending enough to provide adequate health care, social services, early-childhood programs and the like, we are saying that we’re content to rely on volunteers rather than qualified professionals to help our neediest children. This is a problem that must be addressed politically and financially, by the Greater Rochester community, city and suburbs. And all of us have to become involved, convincing political and community leaders to do what it takes. So far, I don’t see many signs of a commitment to do that. A quick update on our website, which crashed in late May: A new, robust site is under development now and should be live in a few weeks. Meantime, our temporary site, with many of the old site’s basic features – including a reader comment function – is alive and well at the usual address, rochestercitynewspaper.com.

And the state has been doing some management tasks in the Hemlock-Canadice watershed, including erosion prevention. For now, city and DEC staffs keep in regular contact, Morrison says. And if the DEC eventually decides not to do work that city officials deem important in the watershed, then the city could step in, he says.

About 75 percent of Rochester’s violent incidents — stabbings and shootings — stem from youth violence. And often the incidents are over issues unrelated to the drug trade, such as rivalry for a girl’s attention or earning respect on the street.

Pathways stops street work

Bay proposal avoids eagles

Pathways to Peace, the youth gang and violence intervention arm of city government, has stopped much of its street-level outreach services due to a lack of resources. But a lower street presence for the four-person agency has some City Council members worried and confused, since Rochester’s problem with youth violence is well-documented. “Our focus is not on street outreach and more on mediating conflicts,” says Keenan Allen, director of Pathways to Peace, which is part of the city’s Department of Recreation and Youth Services. The agency has also shifted its attention primarily to youth engaging in high-risk activities who show the most promise of improving, Allen says. And he says he’s had to cap the number of youth he’s working with to 60 at a time. But the need is much greater, says City Council member Adam McFadden. City officials are too focused on downtown development, McFadden says, and not doing enough for the city’s troubled youth. “We apparently don’t recognize the problem of youth violence, which has held some of our neighborhoods hostage,” he says. Council member Loretta Scott is concerned about the reduction in Pathways activities, too, and says she will push to increase the roughly

$300,000 the mayor has budgeted for the organization. Explaining what purpose Pathways serves has been an ongoing problem for the organization. “They have Keenan Allen. Photo PROVIDED not been able to clearly evaluate their own work in a way that would make it easy to understand,” says John Klofas, a criminal justice professor at Rochester Institute of Technology. Intervention that prevents a homicide or an assault is hard to quantify, he says, because it’s not absolutely clear what the intervention stopped from happening. “But I think they’ve provided a very valuable service,” Klofas says. About 75 percent of Rochester’s violent incidents — stabbings and shootings — stem from youth violence, he says. And often the incidents are over issues unrelated to the drug trade, such as rivalry for a girl’s attention or earning respect on the street.

Any large-scale development along Irondequoit Bay has significant potential to disrupt or harm the area’s sensitive environment. The developers proposing a 358-unit apartment complex on Empire Boulevard, next to Bazil, say they are aware of that fact. | During a presentation to the Penfield Town Board last week, project engineer John Caruso of Passero Associates said the project has been designed to avoid sensitive areas. | None of the buildings would be located in wetlands or their buffer areas, and they would not disturb the site’s steep slopes. And while the project site is adjacent to an active bald eagle nest, none of the buildings would intrude on its buffer zone, which is set under state law. And the project would include cleaning up a brownfield; there’s a former construction and demolition debris landfill on the site. Caruso said the developers — Southpoint Cove LLC, a partnership that includes the Daniele family, Morgan Management, and Upstate Brownfield Partners — are also considering a public lookout for the bay. | A public hearing was held on the project last week, but there were few speakers. One bay business owner said the three- and four-story buildings would block his view of the water.

Taking back the neighborhoods The vacant lot next to Vicky D’Augustino’s home on Webster Avenue looks decent these days, and D’Augustino doesn’t mind taking some of the credit. “In the past I’ve had to fight tooth and nail to get [the grass] cut,” she says. “And when they did cut it, it was disgusting. They would mow around the trash. If there was something big out there — branches — they would just mow around it.” “This year so far, they have done better,” D’Augustino says. “I guess it was all the complaining.” The lot is maintained by the City of Rochester, but it used to be the responsibility of the North East Area Development neighborhood group. When the lot was maintained by NEAD, D’Augustino says, it always looked good. NEAD at one time had a city contract for maintenance — including mowing, weed and graffiti removal — of vacant and privately owned lots in the Beechwood neighborhood, where D’Augustino lives. The contract was worth between $60,000 and $80,000, says John Page, former head of NEAD who now leads the South East Area Coalition and the South Wedge Planning Committee. The City of Rochester also used to have Adopt a Lot and Adopt a Block programs, where it would pay neighborhood organizations to do routine maintenance of vacant lots and commercial corridors. All three programs helped keep up the appearance of the neighborhoods, and the Beechwood contract also worked as a jobs program, Page says. But City Hall stopped Adopt a Block and Adopt a Lot years ago, and the Beechwood contract was only a pilot program. Officials say the city just didn’t have the money to continue the programs, and that there were union issues. “What happened is that the union said, ‘Wait a minute, you’re effectively outsourcing this work. And you’re impacting our capacity to be employed,’” says Mayor Tom Richards. But ending the programs has hurt the neighborhoods, Page says. Maintenance isn’t done quickly enough, he says, and the work isn’t always good quality. The shabby lots drag down the entire neighborhood, Page says. “It’s the broken window theory,” he says. “When you don’t take care of something immediately, there’s another broken window. The small things add up to big things after a while.”

Page and other neighborhood leaders, including George Moses of Group 14621 and NEAD, say they would like to work with the city again. They say they want responsibility for maintenance of vacant and privately owned lots — although there’s a legal process that has to be followed to gain access to private lots. “We’d like to be responsible for our own neighborhoods and not have to rely on outside sources,” Page says. “So if there’s a problem or issue, it would come back on us and not the black hole at City Hall. Now if you get graffiti [for example], it could be weeks, it could be months, or it could not be taken care of at all.” Rochester continues to try to “right size” its housing supply to match its

present-day population. But the city still has about 3,000 vacant lots. Much of the maintenance of those lots, including graffiti removal and spring cleanups, is done by city employees, but the mowing goes to outside contractors: one contract for each side of the city. “We saw that we could do it less expensively by bidding it out,” says Paul Holahan, commissioner of the city’s Department of Environmental Services. “I think we get the average lot cut for about $10.” DES does a big cleanup before mowing season every year to remove accumulated debris. The department’s budget allows for nine or 10 cuttings a year, Holahan says, with more frequent mowing done in the spring and fall growing seasons. “They’re not cut quite as frequently as you would cut your own lawn,” he says. “But they’re cut frequently enough as to not stand out as an eyesore.”

“I think over the last six years there’s been a couple of times where we’ve had a contractor who just failed to perform,” he says. “So we had to scramble and re-bid and in the interim, try to keep up with it.” The contractors are supposed to pick up the trash before they mow, Holahan says, unless the lot’s really bad, and then it’s the city’s responsibility. Through Adopt a Block, neighbors were paid to clean up commercial corridors twice a week. The program was very popular, Holahan says. About 16 neighborhoods participated, he says, and about 20 more wanted in. Instead of Adopt a Block, the city now does citywide Clean Sweeps and targeted mini Clean Sweeps in individual neighborhoods. Holahan says he knows the neighborhoods don’t look as good as they did when Adopt a Block and Adopt a Lot were in place. “We’re trying to make sure we have litter baskets out, and we’re trying to promote people not littering,” he says. “But I don’t right now have the resources to do litter pickups twice a week on all the commercial corridors.” City Council member Carolee Conklin says some city homeowners with malls in the middle of their streets — like residents on Central Avenue and Seneca Parkway — pay the city extra for maintenance of those malls.

Money is the main obstacle to giving

neighborhoods control of the lots. Richards says that previously the funding came mostly from federal grants, and that money has been cut steadily over the years. “We have some serious financial issues,” Council member Conklin says. “And I’m not sure it’s the responsibility of the city to support financially the neighborhood groups.” Even if the city had the money, Richards says, there would still be the union issue. Union contracts and civil service policies prevent work from being taken away from union employees “unless the work itself goes away,” Richards says. “I’m sympathetic,” he says. “If I were the union, I’m going to have an attitude about that, particularly in an environment where the city’s employment is going down. But what happens then is we don’t get some things done.” But Richards and Holahan say they’re willing to talk to neighborhood leaders to see if there’s a way to get the neighborhoods more involved in the maintenance work. “I’m always open to ways to try to tweak it so that it works better,” Holahan says.

The event builds on the YWCA’s National Stand Against Racism program to raise awareness about the impact of race on daily lives. It will be held at the Maplewood Community Library, 1111 Dewey Avenue.


Dining The duck tacos were fine if a bit confused. The taco “shell” was a thick buckwheat pancake; springy, but a bit strong tasting for the mild-flavored meat it surrounded. The duck itself was scanty, heavily sauced with hoisin, and scattered with a bit of shredded cucumber and scallion. The pizza sat on a thin, crunchy, flavorful crust, but there was not a single asparagus tip on the pie, and the bits that were there were the woody bits of the spear. Most disappointing, though, was the cheese plate. At $14 you expect a bit of polish to the presentation, but what came out was indifferently, even sloppily, plated – a meager assortment of goat cheese, cheddar, and bits of blue cheese served with a tiny ramekin full of what looked and tasted like jarred chow-chow, and a similar-sized cup of what may have been a rhubarb-ginger marmalade (the only redeeming item on the plate). I say may have been because our server didn’t know what it was and didn’t bother to ask the kitchen for us. For my entrée I ordered the New York Pan-seared Montauk scallops served atop beet and pea risotto, from Upstairs Bistro at the New York Wine & Culinary Center. Photo by MIKE HANLON

A series of unfortunate events The Upstairs Bistro at New York Wine & Culinary Center 800 S. Main St., Canandaigua 394-7070, nywcc.com Daily 11:30 a.m.-9 p.m. [ review ] by JAMES LEACH

Tiny catastrophes can put a restaurant off its stride: a new menu, new management, a late delivery or a shortage in the kitchen, the sudden and unexpected departure of the chef. Any of these could throw a wrench into the works of even the most seasoned of places. But when all of this happens at the same time, confusion is almost certain to follow. And that, unfortunately, is where the restaurant at the New York Wine & Culinary Center in Canandaigua finds itself at the moment. Originally opened as the Taste of New York Lounge in 2006, the restaurant on the second floor of the NYWCC was something of a foodie destination. It was, as NYWCC Executive Director Alexa Gifford told me, a “special occasion spot” — the place where locavores celebrated

anniversaries, graduations, rehearsal dinners, and (in this reviewer’s case) milestone birthdays. It was, however, a victim of its own success, popular as a destination particularly during the summer and fall, but without enough of a crowd of regulars to sustain it through the long, fallow winter. Earlier this year, the Taste of New York Lounge closed down, and reopened in May as the Upstairs Bistro. The new menu at Upstairs runs more toward appetizers, pizzas, and sandwiches than its predecessor, throwing in a handful of reliable-looking entrees to satisfy those looking for the restaurant that they had grown to love in the virtually unchanged dining room. In accord with the menu, the beer list now runs more toward the pedestrian Genny rather than the more rarified Ommegang. The wine list is a bit more approachable than it was in the past. The standard of service has become more casual — formal service replaced with jeans, long aprons, and a chattier style. Despite the restaurant’s attempt to go a bit more down-market, the price point on the menu has remained almost exactly the same, creating a sticker-shock-like disconnect

between the food on the plate and the price on the bill. Even before the abrupt departure of chef Carlo Peretti in May, Upstairs Bistro was already struggling with its growing pains, trying to reinvent itself without visibly changing much of anything. The chef ’s exit added insult to injury. My first visit to Upstairs Bistro started out

inauspiciously: the hostess delivered us to our table, slammed water glasses in front of us (one I could understand as misjudging the weight of the glass or the height of the table, but five in a row seemed like a fit of pique) and then left us without menus. Our server, an affable young woman, did finally arrive with the menus, and then gave us about 20 seconds to think about drinks. When she finally returned with a bottle of cider and a flight of wine, we were long past ready to order appetizers, and were very disappointed to discover that our first choice of mussels steamed in wheat beer was already sold out — at about 6 p.m. on the Saturday of a holiday weekend. We settled on duck tacos ($9), a pizza with asparagus, spinach, and goat cheese ($12), and a cheese plate ($14).

strip steak and frites on the assumption that it would be a lay-up. What came out probably wasn’t a strip steak — based on the grain of the meat and the thick veins of fat and gristle running through it, I would guess that it was the fatty bit at the end of a rib eye. As ordered, one end of the steak was in fact medium rare. The other was nearly incinerated. Garnished with a bare handful of “house-cut fries,” at $27 this was among the most disappointing steaks I’ve had anywhere. The true crime, however, was the $26 plate containing three pan-seared Montauk scallops atop a beet and pea risotto. The scallops managed to be overcooked, rubbery, fishy, over-salted, and gritty all at the same time. And the risotto, despite its vivid pink hue, was completely flavorless and studded with hard, undercooked peas. If there was any asparagus on the plate, none of us saw it. We did, however, order some on the side for $5. What arrived were five limp, woefully overcooked spears drowned in butter. It is infinitely sad to realize that what was once a true destination restaurant in our area has fallen on hard times. I fervently hope that Gifford’s assurances about the arrival of a new chef and some serious changes in both menu and management come true sooner rather than later to a restaurant that was once one of the most exciting spots in the region.

Palladino met each other in the smoking car of a train while both were backpacking across Canada. Palladino is the daughter of a New York opera singer; her own vocal talent may not be utilized in the execution of arias, but she has every bit of the necessary range to pull them off. Church once spent a year teaching English in Taiwan and India, and his ability to layer spacious guitars with exotic uses of electronic sounds proves that he is not afraid to travel into new sonic landscapes as well. Exitmusic’s full-length debut, “Passages,” has already garnered superb reviews. If this is “dream pop,” then Palladino and Church are sleeping in a sprawling, opulent bed. — BY DAVID YOCKEL, JR.

Cracking wise

[ JAZZ ] Thursday will see the final concert of the season

[ review ] by frank de blase

in the Hochstein “Spotlight on Faculty” series, and it promises to be a hot night of Latin jazz. Mambo Kings has been presenting music that is a fusion of Afro-Cuban rhythm and contemporary jazz since 1995. Many of the group’s compositions are original to Richard DeLaney, who also plays piano and teaches at Hochstein School of Music and Dance. Having heard the Kings myself, I dare you to try to sit still through the whole performance. The rhythms will carry you away. An artists’ reception follows the performance. — PALOMA A. CAPANNA

Sean Patrick McGraw Friday, June 15 Simone Square at Park Point 6-11 p.m. | Free | parkpointrochester.com [ COUNTRY ] He grew up in Rochester, but Nashville’s

home now. And it’s the home of his music. Sean Patrick McGraw’s sound is a little closer to the bone and a little closer to the ground without grandstanding or kowtowing to country tradition. The man has spread himself out, as a support act for Toby Keith, by penning tunes for TV (“True Blood”), appearing on TV (“Jimmy Kimmel Live”), as well as throwing together material for other artists like Montgomery Gentry. McGraw serves up just the right amount of twang in a genre that’s letting it go. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

I dug into my roots (half of them anyway) and spent the weekend at Festa Italia at Edmund Lyon Park in East Rochester. Besides the copious amounts of food I consumed, I was there for the music. Ray Massa’s EuroRhythms got things going Friday night as the accordion-driven band from Columbus, Ohio, ping-ponged between traditional Italian and ItalianAmerican favorites. It ain’t a party until you hear you some Louis Prima. Or maybe it’s just that I really identify with the lyrics to “Just A Gigolo.” The highlight of the weekend had to be the Vegas-style Frank Sinatra/Dean Martin tribute show. Now, it’s no mystery how I feel about cover bands and artists. But this was a spectacular, well-researched, well-executed show with the performers successfully blurring the line between themselves and the venerable originals. It was as thorough and spellbinding as the Broadway endeavor “Million Dollar Quartet” that played last fall at the Auditorium Theatre. The personalities

were just as important and captivating as the music. Henry Prego as Frank Sinatra and Joe Scalissi as Dean Martin admirably took on the mannerisms as well as the singing styles of these legendary crooners from their infamous Las Vegas/Rat Pack era. Scalissi in particular remained in character even when offstage, chainsmoking, chain-drinking, and cracking wise. Prego was well-studied in the music’s vocal nuances, I got to spend some time with him later that night at Bistro 135, discussing tonal subtleties over chocolate milk between tunes by Ella Fitzgerald, Doris Day, and Julie London. But it wasn’t all music for the paisans at Festa. On Friday night The Coupe de Villes laid down its harddriving, nouveau-classic blue boogie a la the Fabulous Thunderbirds, with Tommy Bianchi wringing the sting out of the high notes. Saturday saw Mitty & the Followers cutting a soulful groove into the afternoon heat as guitarist Steve Lyons wrung his guitar’s neck as well.

White, hot, and blue Anonymous Willpower w/Krazman & Fishwife, Philo Beddoe Friday, June 29 Lovin Cup, Park Point 9 p.m. | $3-$5 | lovincup.com anonymouswillpower.com [ PROFILE ] By Frank De Blase

When Anonymous Willpower’s Suzie Willpower takes on a song, she sinks her teeth in and devours it. Once inside it joins her searing soul and guts before getting belted back out in a blast of psycho-sexual seduction and wail. The instruments behind her lay out a frenetic r&b shag and groove that’s white hot and blue. The band is extraordinary on stage, what with Willpower’s animation and voracious vocals, keyboardist Don Anonymous’ frequent piano forays to The Crescent City, bassist Harry Roberts’ casual sashay and stroll, the backbone of drummer Greg Andrews’ solid beat, and the rhythm/melody cocktail of Chris DiStasio’s guitar. This band puts on a relentless show. And it has recently unleashed the equally relentless CD, “Anonymous Willpower’s No Obligation Information Kit.” This 11-cut disc is hot; it’ll steam the wrinkles out of your shorts. It’s the kind of sexy soul both Willpower and her husband/partner in crime Anonymous have gravitated toward for years. They first explored it via Joyfinger at the end of the last century, and then while members of The Earl 12 City june 13-19, 2012

Cram Revue and Velveteen Fox throughout the early 2000’s. It’s not that these bands didn’t tickle, tease, and satisfy, but the duo’s vision wasn’t being fully realized until now. Although both title members of Anonymous

Willpower worked together in these earlier groups, it was hardly collaborative. Each musician did his or her own material. “I’d just do my own songs,” says Anonymous. “And she’d sing her own songs. I never thought of having somebody else do my songs. I always heard my own voice when I wrote.” That has since changed with the advent of Anonymous Willpower in late 2010. “Leaving Velveteen Fox,” says Willpower, “Don said, ‘You know, if we’re going to do something together, we have to write music with plenty of love songs and stuff that’s in line with sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll. That holy trinity notwithstanding, Anonymous in particular was determined to keep the soul.” “I prefer in this band to do the songs in a soul/r&b style,” Anonymous says. That includes covers, like the band’s fire-downbelow take on Dee Dee Warwick’s 1969 song “Foolish Fool.” “Even if they didn’t start out that way. I want that to be the initial style of the band,” he says. But it isn’t always a smooth endeavor. There’s

a dynamic push and pull between the music, Anonymous’ subdued deadpan demeanor, and Willpower’s boundless energy and vocal range.

“When I was younger,” Willpower says, “I was a blues singer even though I wanted to be a punk-rock chick and scream. When you’re a stupid teenager you don’t realize you have this talent and you want to do something else. Don and Sam [from Earl Cram Revue] finally sat me down and said, ‘Look, this is what you can do. Now do it.’” Anonymous Willpower is truly a collaborative affair. Where Anonymous was more of a self-described word man before, he’s focusing more on the music, with Willpower left to tell the story. And they’ll go back and forth on songs like “Mr. Fix It,” a slow Broadway boogie shuffle number with an underlying New Orleans mambo. “I said, ‘Let’s write a song praising the guy for hitting that spot that no other man could, and for doing all the right things,’” says Willpower. She had some trouble with it and handed it off to Anonymous, who put his own salacious slant on it. “He completely re-wrote it,” Willpower says. “And I was like, ‘This is about a vibrator.’” As they did to produce “No Obligation Information Kit,” Anonymous and Willpower will be back in its basement studio to grind out another album by this fall. And again they’ll test their limits and the limits of the music. Willpower seems limitless…except for yodeling. “I’m not a yodeler,” she says. “I’m a growler. I like to growl.”

PROG ROCK | Dream Theater

ALT-COUNTRY | Walt Wilkins and the Mystiqueros

Despite a revolving supporting cast, prog-rock heroes Dream Theater’s retains two of its core members — John Petrucci and John Myung (founding drummer Mike Portnoy departed a few years back). Since its birth in 1985, the group has mixed orchestral majesty with metal riffs. It’s going to sound huge in the armory.

Songwriters like Walt Wilkins have fine bands like The Mystiqueros behind them to help the medicine go down. Now, some of you that are fans of this tenacious Texas troubadour’s tunes a la carte can tolerate the heartache and honesty. Perhaps you temper it with a shot. But his songs’ tug and mule-kick remain; “Trains I Missed” comes to mind. The rest of you greenhorns can two-step to the band with one hand around something with a longneck and one arm around something with long legs. Does Abilene have sawdust?

INDIE POP | North Highlands

Brooklyn’s North Highlands crafts dreamy indie pop that rivals its home borough’s better-known act, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. This five-piece isn’t as reverb friendly as its contemporaries, but its 2011 release, “Wild One,” does showcase the band’s knack for infectious songwriting and sing-along melodies. Lead vocalist Brenda Malvani anchors the band’s sound with her distinct intonation, which rises and crashes perfectly with the rest of the music. Four other bands also play that night, including local outfits The Demos (which will be returning from a showcase at Toronto’s North By Northeast Festival), White Picket Fence, and Branch Davidians, as well as Secret Cove. North Highlands performs Saturday, June 16, 9 p.m. at the Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave. $7-$9. 454-2966, bugjar.com. — BY ANDY KLINGENBERGER Ted Nicolosi and Shared Genes.

Ghosts in our cells “5th Rochester Biennial” Through August 5 Memorial Art Gallery, 500 University Ave. Wednesday-Sunday 11 a.m.-5 p.m., Thursday until 9 p.m. $5-$12 (half-price Thursday 5-9 p.m.) 276-8900, mag.rochester.edu [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

The art chosen for the Memorial Art Gallery’s “5th Rochester Biennial” exhibit seems to reflect something like a sampling of the different breeds of ghosts carried by artists. These include the aesthetic influences of other times; the spirit of artistic materials; the specters of once-thriving domiciles; the eternal striving of human will against all manner of hardships; and the projected identities of our increasingly isolated selves in the virtual realm. It is in each of our natures to bear these fragments of essence; creative types simply spend more time in focused dialogue with them. There is a lot to say about the six artists included in this edition of the show, so I’ll get right to it. The collaborative duo behind “Geolocation: Tributes to the Data Stream,” Nate Larson of Baltimore and Marni Shindelman of Rochester, deal with the ironic isolation brought about by our increased technological networking. Their work utilizes publicly available GPS coordinates embedded in tweets, and uses programs such as Tweetspot and Twitter Maps to locate 16 City june 13-19, 2012

where the tweets originated in the physical world. The artists then travel to photograph either the spot on which the sender stood, or what the person might have seen from that spot. The five-year project has included tweets from Rochester, Baltimore, Chicago, California, New Brunswick, and England, with projects in Russia, Japan, and Egypt in the works. Looking at the images, which include the original tweet, some clever editorializing is often present. Larson and Shindelman make their point immediately with the first message-in-abottle: “i just put on that location thing for Twitter. I’m not sure how I feel about it though.” That’s paired with an image taken in seriously creepy proximity to the house from which the tweet originated, placing the viewer almost in the hedges near an unshaded window. Hello, person’s lamp. Val M. Cushing’s functional works of ceramic

art are a nod to the “the rich colors, the dynamic textures, and the harmonious forms” found in nature, per the statement from the professor emeritus at Alfred University, where he taught for four decades. The 81-year-old Cushing credits Bauhaus-trained Marguerite Wildenhain with “opening his eyes to the excitement of a life totally immersed in art,” but also has found influences in the Chinese Song dynasty, Native American art, and jazz improvisation for the rich patterning on his bowls, platters, and jars. Cornell University professor of art Roberto Bertoia’s recent work “is an exploration of the relationship between landscape/environment and the human/

built condition,” according to the artist statement. The artist uses local native wood for his boxy sculptures, crafting them mostly by hand, using traditional tools. Each of the table-top-sized works in the “Passage” series is some combination of cherry or walnut, plexiglass, brass, and rubber. The pieces resemble train cars with open ends, revealing a boxy tunnel with many cut-out windows that cast light into the shadowy interior. Slight kinks in the sides of the form indicate a lumbering motion, transporting us as we traverse the secret passage. In the center of the exhibition space, “Forest Passage” is a life-sized version of Bertoia’s smaller works, with the same inviting boxy tunnel form, but most adults will have to duck to move through it. Bertoia envisions “a place of transition between field and forest” as the ideal location for these works. Eunsuh Choi’s crystalline-structure

sculptures serve to “visually communicate the spiritual essence of human ambition,” per the artist statement. “The contemplative nature of my work resonates with our human desire for something ‘higher’ and ‘bigger,’” he explains. A native of Korea, Choi came to Rochester in 2004 and earned his MFA in glass from RIT’s School for American Crafts. Choi uses her kitchen as a studio to create the delicate-looking but durable glass forms. Thin strands of the material are used to create a latticework of stacked boxes that form triangles and house forms, often containing a ladder, tree, or both within a central empty space. The objects symbolize striving, says the artist, while the boxed-in nature speaks to her alienation within a strange culture. As an immigrant, Choi is not permitted to work in the United States, but shows her work here and abroad. In the center of the Grand Gallery space, a makeshift theater has been created for the projection of six poignant digital video works that address the historic and ongoing inequity, crushing hardship, and coping mechanisms of African Americans. The artist, Yvonne Buchanan, is professor of art at Syracuse University, an award-winning children’s book illustrator, filmmaker, and an activist, and is the artist chosen by the MAG for this year’s “Biennial” based on the merit of her work in two previous “RochesterFinger Lakes Exhibitions.” Each of the videos is equally striking, and I could have written this entire review on Buchanan’s work alone. “I explore strategies historically employed by the African-American community to endure harsh experiences, including ideas of religiosity and belief in

the afterlife,” says the artist in a provided statement. In “Gravity” we see rapidly flashing images of white man’s Jesus, paired with a here-and-now martyr: the silhouette of a black woman. In a rare instance of audio in the show, we hear “Our Day Will Come” by Ruby & The Romantics. The desperately sorrowful tune, despite the uptempo rhythm, deals with that old promise made by the oppressors: accept your lot in this life, be humble and obedient in your suffering, because paradise is comin’ after you die. It’s becoming a trend that the MAG likes

to hide each “Biennial’s” breathtaking oil paintings in the far back portion of the gallery. There you will find the work of David Higgins. His artist statement reads: “Sometimes houses are skulls. Sometimes they are accretions of debris, like the weird little casings that caddisflies build from sand and pine needles. At night, they are cells in a larger organism, chambering sleepers in the dark.” Most of Higgins’ works are near-photoreal tributes to houses from the older neighborhoods of Elmira, Binghamton, Cortland, and Rochester, as they “slip further into decrepitude.” I’d never heard the phrase “ruins porn,” offered by the curator’s essay, but it’s certainly a fitting term for the genre to which Higgins belongs, though he is at a less dramatic end of the genre’s scale. In his work, small things are off in familiar scenes: houses are missing portions of their siding, or posts in railings. In “Railroad Tracks,” a big storm looms over wild shrubs and a random dining room chair. Elsewhere, skinny stray dogs look after one another beneath a rusty overpass. Curiously, the artist departs from the remnants for a moment to showcase “Peep Show,” a framed work of eight tiny, light-up dioramas. Each gives an immediate dainty impression, but upon closer inspection, something is awry. “When it Rains it Pours” shows the Morton Salt girl apprehended not by a cute pup, but by a pit bull. “Hartford Circus Fire, 1944” alludes to the instance when Barnum & Bailey waterproofed its tent with paraffin, which was burned down by a juvenile delinquent’s cigarette. Amid so many dreary Upstate New York streets, Higgins offers a massive, acid-colored portrait of “Spaulding Street,” where even the dead grass is vibrantly hued. “My real goal is to make art that is the visual equivalent of Side Two of Abbey Road,” says Higgins, an associate professor of art at Corning Community College. The association is detectable, in the many instances of selfreflection and farewells.

FESTIVAL | Maplewood Rose Festival

“In the center of the city of Rochester, above the bank of the river which has shaped the region’s history, lies a jewel of a garden.” So goes Duane Reid’s history of the Maplewood Rose Garden. Celebrate horticulture and heritage this weekend with the Maplewood Rose Festival, which takes place Friday, June 15, through Sunday, June 17, at the garden (at Lake and Driving Park avenues). The celebration is held at the peak blooming cycles of more than 300 rose varieties, with more than 5,000 flowers perfuming the air. The weekend includes horticultural workshops and demonstrations by Rochester’s top gardeners and landscape professionals, hands-on gardening and landscaping activities for adults and kids, an arts & crafts fair, tours, storytelling, a perennial swap meet, wine tastings, and specific daily features. On Friday, 7-10 p.m., join other Rochesterians for a Party on the Bridge on Driving Park Bridge, which will include children’s activities, music, and fireworks. Events take place 10 a.m.-7 p.m. on Saturday and 9 a.m.-5 p.m. on Sunday, including a Father’s Day picnic taking place 1-5 p.m. Admission to the festival is free.

KIDS | Buggy Bonanza

One of the only things I adore about the deep winter is the lack of insects. But when I find myself being bugged by the creatures during the warmer months, I remind myself that the strange-to-us insects each play an important role in the world’s ecosystems. Besides their usefulness, insects are truly fascinating to learn about, and that helps minimize fear and annoyance. Teach the kids how to cohabitate with insects this weekend at Buggy Bonanza, held at The Strong National Museum of Play (One Manhattan Square) on Saturday, June 16. Get up close and personal with live creepy crawlers from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. A museum expert will teach facts about tarantulas (which can grow to the size of dinner plates), hissing cockroaches, scorpions, and more. If that’s a little too intense for you, make a butterfly craft and meet Marti the Monarch, the museum’s butterfly mascot, before visiting the Dancing Wings Butterfly Garden, where you can walk among a thousand butterflies in a tropical rainforest environment along with birds, turtles, and more. Buggy Bonanza is included in general admission to the museum, which is $13 for adults, $12 for seniors, $11 for children ages 2-15, and free to members and kids under 2. Admission to the butterfly garden requires purchase of an individual, timed ticket at $4 or $2 for members.

Theater disappointing Broadway adaptation, but you still get Harry Warren’s pulsating tunes and Al Dubin’s snappy lyrics. Songs like “You’re Getting To Be a Habit with Me” and the title number are gritty urban lullabies for the naughty, bawdy “little nifties” who’ll do almost anything to land a job in a Broadway chorus or snatch up a sugar daddy during the darkest days of the Great Depression. If I could afford to buy only one ticket this summer, I’d blow the budget on “A Word or Two” to see Christopher Plummer, one of our greatest actors, stand on stage to talk about works of literature that have stirred his imagination since he first discovered them – and then he reads from them. Don’t confuse Plummer with his best-known role, Captain Von Trapp in the movie version of “Sound of Music.” He is a superb actor, and he will carry you from A.A. Milne to Ben Jonson with his engaging charm and his wonderful voice. The most conventional fare for Stratford leads

The skinny on Stratford 2012 Stratford Shakespeare Festival Through October 28 Stratford, Ontario, Canada 800-567-1600, stratfordfestival.ca [ PREVIEW ] BY MICHAEL LASSER

It’s too soon to tell if the Stratford Shakespeare Festival’s 2012 season is a momentary departure from previous years or an accelerated veering off in new directions. It’s also fair to assume that some things won’t change. It’s still the same four and a half hour drive to the small (and often hot and humid) city in south central Ontario, and the town is still dotted with dozens of restrained Canadian versions of Queen Anne-style B&Bs best known for their unrestrained breakfasts and their determinedly “Victorian” furnishings. Several of the plays opened in mid-April and the last ones to close hang on through October. Finally, the season still includes three plays by the eponymous Mr. S, plus 11 more that keep the Festival’s five stages busy, from the expansive 2100-seat Festival Theatre to the tiny, steeply raked Studio and an even tinier Studio Annex. But the predictable can distract you from the changes. This year’s offerings range from Ancient Greek tragedy to new Canadian 20 City june 13-19, 2012

plays, Gilbert & Sullivan to Thornton Wilder, and tap-dancing chorines shimmering in spangles to the superb Christopher Plummer alone on stage. What’s unusual about this season is the presence of five recent Canadian plays and four musicals. With only a few exceptions, the plays are either Shakespeare or modern. It’s essential to attract younger audiences, but do I detect a whiff of pandering in the air, based on the specious assumption that young people won’t go to anything that isn’t “sorta like now”? Depending on your point of view, Artistic Director Des McAnuff, beginning his final season at Stratford, is an innovator or a vulgarizer. You pays your money and you takes your choice.

the play together. His versions of Shakespeare are often fast-paced and more than a little wacky, and I fully expect “Much Ado” to proceed the same way. You may also feel free to wonder why McAnuff works so hard to fix Shakespeare when he isn’t broken. The other two by Shakespeare fill out the typical bill of a comedy, a history, and a tragedy: perhaps the greatest, certainly the noblest and most energetic, of the histories, “Henry V,” and one of Shakespeare’s more convoluted stories, “Cymbeline.” In the former, Aaron Krohn plays King Henry leading the English army to defeat the French “upon St. Crispin’s Day,” and heads a strong cast to do it – Lucy Peacock, Ben Carlson, James Blendick, and Keith Dinicol, among many others.

McAnuff has been directing a major

If you like musicals, this is the summer for

Shakespearean comedy each year for the last three years; for 2012 his choice is “Much Ado About Nothing” – another opportunity for superb romantic comedy with the inimitable Benedick and Beatrice crossing verbal swords before they figure out they’re nuts about each other. Audiences find McAnuff’s approach to classical comedy a breath of fresh air or selfimportant interference. He finds his inspiration in sketch comedy, sitcom, and baggy-pants burlesque, and leaves it to Shakespeare to hold

you. The chronology starts with Sir Arthur Sullivan’s thumping melodies and W.S. Gilbert’s brilliant lyrics in full regalia for “The Pirates of Penzance,” followed by the Broadway brass of “42nd Street,” Charles Schultz’s take on childhood dramatized in “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown,” and the world premiere of “Wanderlust,” Morris Panych’s new musical based on the poems of Robert Service. The original movie version of “42nd Street” is far superior to the

to Greek tragedy and American comedy, the kinds of plays the Festival typically mounts. In the Sophoclean tragedy “Elektra,” Yanna McIntosh has the title role of the powerless Elektra who awaits the return of her brother, Orestes, to avenge the death of her father at the hands of her mother and the man who is now her stepfather. If you didn’t know better, you might think it was the original soap opera. Thornton Wilder’s “The Matchmaker” is best known these days as the source of the musical, “Hello, Dolly.” It is the original story of Dolly Levi, a woman who arranges marriages including one, eventually, for herself. The remaining plays are the most recent and the most unusual, and their small casts fit nicely in the Studio Theatre and its Annex. Although they’re largely unknown, most of them insist on eccentricity as a virtue. The two plays that sound the least likely for Stratford are Michael Hollingsworth’s “The War of 1812,” in which everybody dumps on everybody, especially those who were here first, and Rick Miller’s “MacHomer,” a one-person anarchic tour de force that combines “Macbeth” with 50 different characters from “The Simpsons” that ran only during the month of May. Finally, In Daniel MacIvor’s “Best Brothers,” two very different brothers mourn their unconventional mother, while in Alon Nashman and Paul Thomspon’s “Hirsch,” a young man survives the Holocaust and finds safety in Canada, where he combines talent and a stormy temper to become a major theater director. John Hirsch was artistic director of the Festival in 1967-1969 and 1979-1981.

SPORTS | Base Ball then & Baseball now

Celebrate Father’s Day on Sunday, June 17, with a favorite father/child tradition — take Dad out to a ballgame. Can you imagine catching a fastball with your bare hands? That’s how they played the game of base ball in the 1800’s (they also spelled it differently). On Sunday, go back in time to watch Genesee Country Village & Museum’s vintage base ball game. A doubleheader game begins at noon with Victory v. Rochester and another game at 2 p.m. with Live Oak v. Flower City at the Silver Base Ball Park at GCVM (1410 Flint Hill Road, Mumford). Note that this is just one chance to experience the 19th century game this season. Games are played with period costumes, rules, and etiquette. There’s no protective gear, the balls are brown, the snacks are throwbacks, and boys man the scoreboard. Unattended ladies are even asked to sit in special seating to avoid scandal. Admission to the museum costs $9.50-$15.50 (free for children under 3); for more information visit gcv.org or call 538-6822. If Dad still can’t get enough baseball, head back into modern times and go to Frontier Field (1 Morrie Silver Way) this weekend for one of the Rochester Red Wings’ home games. Monday, June 18, through Wednesday, June 20, the Wings will be playing the Durham Bulls starting at 7:05 p.m. For ticket pricing or more information visit milb.com or call 423-9464. — BY ANNE RITZ

The quest for creation [ REVIEW ] by George Grella

to produce whole galaxies of analysis. The picture also opened the way for other sci-fi flicks to explore Big Topics and Deep Thoughts — most “Prometheus” of the “Star Trek” franchise, for example, along (R), directed by Ridley Scott with Steven Spielberg’s “Close Encounters of the Now playing Third Kind,” “E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial,” and “AI: Artificial Intelligence.” Although the form certainly deserved serious Ridley Scott’s original “Alien” employed a attention practically since its beginnings, Stanley highly professional cast, stuck to a tight, thrilling Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey” conferred script, mixed gritty authenticity with convincing a certain dignity on science-fiction film. Its effects, and featured one of the scariest monsters length, its cinematography, its soundtrack, its in film history. Though perhaps not quite at depiction of the machinery of the future, its the same level, its sequels continued some of incomprehensible conclusion, and its determined, the best subjects and themes as the archetype, dreary pretentiousness provided a wonderful without straying far from its initial premise and its opportunity for the more intellectually inclined despairing subtext. Now, with “Prometheus,” the critics to discover value in the genre and of course director moves over into the tempting territory of myth and mysticism, where sciencefiction, adventure, and horror-flick shocks mingle with discussions of the origins of mankind, of creation itself. After some puzzling preliminary mumbo-jumbo involving a muscular Logan Marshall-Green, Noomi Rapace, and Michael Fassbender (left to right) in giant who looks like “Prometheus.” PHOTO COURTESY 20TH CENTURY FOX

the Silver Surfer on steroids standing by a waterfall in an unearthly landscape, the picture switches to a future Earth, where two archaeologists, Charlie Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green) and Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace), discover a cave painting that duplicates an ancient image from cultures all over the world. The pictures all show a figure pointing to a group of five planets, which leads the scientists to believe that visitors from that formation, whom they call Engineers, journeyed to Earth and created human beings. In short, it’s the sort of nonsense that UFO nuts use to explain such structures as crop circles, Egyptian pyramids, Angkor Wat, and Stonehenge. The film then opens again in 2093 on the space ship Prometheus, funded by the withered billionaire Peter Weyland (Guy Pearce, made up like the aged figure at the end of “2001”), where the archaeologists and crew wake from a two-year sleep to land on a distant planet in another galaxy. There they seek nothing less than the origins of life, the creators of mankind, those great Engineers. As any student of science fiction knows, such a quest, no matter how bold, no matter how noble, can only end badly — the original Prometheus, after all, landed on a rock in Hades with an eagle munching on his liver. On the planet, a hostile place, the explorers discover a huge cave full of strange machinery and a series of disturbing life forms: worms that emerge from the ooze of a cracked container, some awful phallic snakes, and a huge octopus-like

creature from which another birth occurs. They also witness a holographic history of sorts, containing clues to the mysteries they hope to solve, that familiar puzzling combination of the mechanical, the biological, and the religious that appears in previous “Alien” encounters. Everything in “Prometheus,” from the shocks and frights to the magnificent sets to the futuristic human technology, operates on a grand scale, much of it an expansion of the familiar material of the series. A three-dimensional, kinetic holograph of the solar system simply dazzles, in part for its sheer grace and beauty, as it also helps to explain something of the scientists’ quest. Once again an artificial human, a bland, smug, superior robot named David (Michael Fassbinder) occupies an ambiguous position, following his own hidden agenda and compromising the mission. Though apparently human, the mission commander, the icy, antiseptically sexy Meredith Vickers (Charlize Theron) matches him in robotic affect; she also plays a most ambiguous role in the crew’s search and discovery. Despite its excursions into metaphysics and teleology, “Prometheus” retains some of the distinctive elements of the “Alien” series, including the depiction of a resourceful and heroic female character, Elizabeth Shaw, and the persistent thematic concern with maternity, which provides one of the most excruciating sequences in the movie. Shaw also appropriately embodies the film’s confusion of science, theology, and sheer baloney.

All you ladies who’ve been accused of insanity upon voicing an opinion that doesn’t set well with the nearest man can take comfort in the fact that you’re part of a long, ignorant tradition of wholesale dismissal. Not so very long ago the (largely male) medical establishment attributed things like discontentment, anxiety, and moodiness to hysteria, caused by a wayward uterus. This malady could be easily — if tediously — treated through what was euphemistically called pelvic massage. Essentially a doctor would manually bring his patient to climax, at which time the afflicted woman would feel a hell of a lot better. A medical miracle! Tanya Wexler’s new comedy “Hysteria” is not about how doctors finally realized that the uterus doesn’t actually wander around a woman’s body and make trouble; instead, it tells of how Dr. Mortimer Granville

Maggie Gyllenhaal and Hugh Dancy in “Hysteria.” PHOTO COURTESY SONY PICTURES CLASSICS

(Hugh Dancy, “Our Idiot Brother”) found an efficient way to treat most of Victorian London’s female population without giving himself carpal tunnel syndrome. When we first meet Granville, the forward-thinking young doctor is unsuccessfully arguing the merits of the newfangled germ theory with his leech-loving superior, a rift that eventually leads to Granville’s new position giving a hand (haw haw!) to Dr. Dalrymple (the great character actor Jonathan Pryce) in his successful practice treating women against “a plague of our time.” When Granville isn’t dutifully rubbing out care to the well-dressed women with their legs in fancy, velvet-draped stirrups, he’s chastely wooing Dr. Dalrymple’s toothy younger daughter Emily (Felicity Jones, “Like Crazy”) or butting heads with her progressive older sister Charlotte (Maggie Gyllenhaal), who has shunned the lap of luxury to volunteer at a settlement house for the less-fortunate. But it’s through his dealings with his wealthy, rakish friend Edmund St. John-Smythe (Rupert Everett, how we’ve missed your suspiciously tight face) that Granville happens upon his fame and fortune through the invention of a motorized feather duster that has been modified for more orgasmic purposes. “Hysteria” is frustratingly devoid of any compelling conflict; the plot hinges upon which Dalrymple sister Granville will fall for (duh) as well as whether Charlotte will be institutionalized and given a hysterectomy in order to alleviate her anti-patriarchal feelings along with her selfless Christian charity. The truth-based yet predictable script, by the husband-and-wife team of Stephen Dyer and Jonah Lisa Dyer, doesn’t really say anything terribly revelatory about the state of male-female relationships, merely imparting some interesting trivia about the genesis of the vibrator and trying to shock in a giggly way. Oh, and that R rating? Utter hogwash. There are, however, fleeting pleasures to be found in the film’s excellent

performances, as a top-tier cast classes up the relatively unworthy script. The adorably feisty Gyllenhaal rocks a steadfast British accent, while Pryce, Jones, and especially Dancy make the best of their thankless stock characters. And all kinds of praise to the scenestealing Everett, twinkle in eye and tongue firmly in cheek as the idle-rich and seemingly out hedonist obsessed with technology, much to the literal delight of future generations of women, hysterical and otherwise. Making a vigilante flick is a difficult proposition; you’ve got to make an airtight case for your protagonist’s illegal actions in order to get the audience on board. But despite an intriguing premise as well as a pitch-perfect turn by star Joel Murray, writer-director Bobcat Goldthwait fails to properly justify the killing spree anti-hero Frank embarks on in the bleak satire “God Bless America.” Frank has just lost his job and been diagnosed with a terminal illness, so in the face of an onslaught of disturbing human behavior in the form of reality television and right-wing opinion, Frank decides that the mean people need to die. It’s shades of “Taxi Driver” and “Bonnie and Clyde” as Frank finds himself saddled with bored and precocious teen Roxy (Tara Lynne Barr) while he drives around the country murdering the not-nice, which includes an entitled TV brat and those affiliated with an “American Idol” type of show. (The even-less-tolerant Roxy wants to also go gunning for people who high-five and “Juno” screenwriter Diablo Cody.) “God Bless America” feels like a bitter stand-up rant against easy, deserving targets stretched uncomfortably into a narrative feature; it’s difficult to argue with Goldthwait’s stance — America has gotten ugly, and too many are making money off of it — but the film’s exaggerated reaction doesn’t add anything new to the discussion.

PAPER MOON

Friday, June 15, 8 p.m. Tatum O’Neal became the youngest actor ever to win an Oscar® for her portrayal of a 9-year-old tough cookie who teams with a cynical grifter (Tatum’s dad Ryan O’Neal). This sweet, starkly beautiful period comedy plays out against an unexpectedly realistic backdrop: Dustbowl America. (Peter Bogdanovich, US 1973, 102 min.)

GOD BLESS AMERICA Movies for movie lovers, 6 nights a week. Special Presentation

Saturday, June 16, 8 p.m. & Sunday, June 17, 5 p.m. Middle-aged Frank (Joel Murray) has had it with pop culture’s idiocy and rudeness. He pairs up with equally disaffected teen Roxy (Tara Lynn Barr) as “platonic spree killers” striking out against reality stars, theater talkers, and anyone else who gets in their way. An uproarious, darker-than-dark comedy. (Bobcat Goldthwait, US 2011, 99 min.)

A House with History and a Future

32 Rundel Park

32 Rundel Park is a grand, circa 1870, 2255 square foot Victorian-era home in the heart of the Neighborhood of the Arts (NOTA), a vibrant and walkable neighborhood, steps from Village Gate, art galleries, restaurants, shops and the Public Market. This house is a gem for anyone who wants to experience true city living. An airy and roomy porch wraps around the front of the house, providing a second living room during the warm summer months. When you walk through the front entrance’s large double doors you’re in a foyer that has the first of the all-original lighting fixtures in the home. From there, one can enter the original office of the businessman who built the home—which could also function as a family room or first floor bedroom—or the formal living room with an original marble fireplace and three floor- toceiling windows that beg for a Christmas tree in front of them. A pocket door can be closed to separate the rooms, or left open to create a great-room feel. A half bath off the living room is large enough to become a full bath, making first-floor living an option. The dining room has a beautiful built-in buffet that shows off the room’s unpainted original woodwork. To the left as you enter the kitchen are a large bank of cabinets and drawers that mirror the dining room buffet. When you open the cupboard door you find that someone had the brilliant idea of giving both rooms access

to the cabinet. This way, you can reach for that harvest gold Tupperware container to put the leftovers in when your guests insist on helping you clear the table. Back stairs from the kitchen as well as the main staircase in the living room provide access to the second floor. Four bedrooms with closets, plenty of natural light and mostly new carpeting offer ample space for a home office and workout room. The full bath has a period tub and newer shower along with shelving for storing towels and other items you want handy when running late for work. A door offers access to storage in one of the dormers. The small yard provides a low maintenance option for the prospective homeowner who might not have a green thumb while a flowerbed in front of the room-size wraparound porch offers the opportunity for planting flowers without going to Sonnenberg Gardens proportions. For more photos and information, visit rochestercityliving.com/property/R183944. If you’re interested in seeing 32 Rundel Park, you can contact Gene Berndt of Nothnagle Realtors at 585-764-9906. by Roberta Ryan Roberta is a Landmark Society volunteer; she and her husband are proud northeast Rochester residents.
