Why cut vital services for students?
Last year the 16 School Coordinators in the district saw over 1500 students for supportive counseling or case-management services (“Budget Hangover,” News). Sounds cost-effective to me. The enrollment of students in Support Centers in 2011-12 was 5,136 students: 42.6 percent of the population of schools with Support Centers located in them. The teachers are not the main problem; it is the breakdown of the family. If that many students are gravitating to this support, why are we eliminating it? I am not assuming we can fix the overall problem, but these support staff appear to be an important piece in providing some support to students in crisis and can make the difference in some students dropping out or staying in school. As a therapist, when I work with an adolescent, I am repeatedly amazed at the level of support, education, and difference I can make in how they conduct their life. If home life is not good, the support center may be the ONLY place they can obtain support easily. I do not work in the city schools, but it would seem that eliminating or greatly reducing these options for students is maladaptive. LISA A. FOGEL

School district’s ‘reformy’ moves
On our story on the Rochester school district’s cuts to the All City High School staff: The
“innovation” that [teachers union president Adam] Urbanski claims to want has been possible for more than a decade under the Living Contract provision of the RTA
contract and the school-based planning team policy. No further governance change is legitimately warranted (unless the goal is more power for the RTA). Under the Living Contract, teachers at any school can vote to waive provisions of the contract to make it more flexible, innovative, or student-centered; they just haven’t done it. The School-based Planning Policy gives schools unprecedented autonomy and teachers and parents decision-making rights. (These aren’t advisory bodies; they are deliberative.) Few, if any, of these school-based planning teams have used this authority to build “community schools” or otherwise innovate, even though they’ve always had the power to do so. We should all be skeptical of Urbanski’s latest “innovation” idea; that is frankly nothing more than a power grab disguised as reform, the latest in a long list of his Trojan horses. Superintendent Vargas’s remedy of “conversion charters” is equally empty, but also gives the illusion of change, the latest in a long line of superintendent “reformy” moves. The only substantive change that conversion charters will bring is to governance: the school-based planning team will be replaced with a board that may or may not include parents and teachers. Same contracts, same work rules (charters in name only). The public should also be skeptical of Vargas’s new calls for school autonomy, given that he dismantled student-based budgeting, the “gold standard” in practices to support school autonomy. He also appears to be unwilling to take full advantage of the new state teacher-evaluation law to make staffing decisions based on effectiveness, rather than seniority, another key principle of school autonomy. In either case, parents will be relinquishing their decision-making rights and getting very little, if anything, in return. Let’s hope they do their homework and don’t buy the snake oil that either is peddling. CARRIE REMIS
Posted on rochestercitynewspaper.com Mrs. Remis, School Based Planning Teams have limited power to create autonomy in schools. They can determine academic
programs, which are contingent on Central Office approval and other requirements of the state and board. They are also tough to manage when much of the funding and support for school programs can rapidly change in light of new board or superintendent policies. To say that SBPT is the same things as autonomy is disingenuous and demonstrates your lack of understanding of the process. Sadly what you don’t report on or advocate to change is the devastating impact of concentrated poverty on the individual lives of students and the culture that develops around it. The reason this exists is the political structure we have for funding and enrolling our schools. Our system allows for class segregation, which often correlates with racial segregation that lets a district like West Irondequoit (as one example) have a student poverty rate around 10 percent, bordering the Rochester school district carrying close to 90 percent. The impact of poverty on learning has been well documented. It is true that we can all find examples poor students who succeed and wealthy students who fail, but if you look at overall trends in the performance of large numbers of students, there is a direct correlation between wealth and performance. Solely blaming teachers, unions, and supporting charters schools as the solution is like a doctor focusing on a cut on the arm of a patient who has cancer. Until we focus our efforts on bringing down the unjust system of racial and class segregation that exists across the country in urban areas, we will not significantly change student performance. Mrs. Remis, How is your child’s unionized, non-charter, lowpoverty school performing? GAVIN BARRY

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
Good. Old. Boys. How wonderful to see so many male politicians standing up for women’s rights. Governor Cuomo has been on a statewide tour, pushing his Women’s Equality Act, which attacks human trafficking, sexual harassment, and employment and housing discrimination. A couple of weeks ago, Assembly Speaker Shelly Silver spoke out at a Women’s Equality Coalition rally in Albany, pledging his support for their fight against discrimination. In a Senate hearing early this month, male senators lashed out at military chiefs for failing to do something about sexual abuse in the military. But let’s add a little context to those words. In Albany, Shelly Silver is under fire for protecting former Assembly member Vito Lopez, a Democratic pol with a history of sexually harassing women staff members. When two of the women complained, Silver didn’t investigate and refer their cases to the Assembly’s ethics committee, as he was required to do. Instead, he secretly approved payments to the women, presumably to shut them up. And this wasn’t the first time: Silver had done the same thing several years before, when two women complained about sexual harassment by a member of Silver’s own staff. After a state ethics commission report slammed both Lopez and Silver, Lopez resigned from the Assembly. But Silver’s still there, leading his caucus, and when goodgovernment leaders and several newspaper editorials called for his resignation, other Assembly Democrats rushed to his defense. And the governor insisted that Silver should stay on. The impetus for that Senate hearing in Washington was the growing evidence that sexual assault in the military is rampant. A four-year government study found that more than 21 percent of women in the military have reported sexual assaults. And, the report says, it’s likely that many more assaults are never reported. According to media reports, the Department of Defense itself has found that sexual assaults in the military have increased every year for the past three years. And, the American Prospect notes, the latest DOD report says that 62 percent of the women who went to military authorities with their allegations “suffered retaliation for speaking up.” It has been 22 years since the widely publicized Tailhook scandal, in which more than 100 Navy and Marine officers sexually assaulted nearly as many women and a few men at a convention. The military did little about that other than professing shock and promising action. And it has done little since. Right now, commanding officers decide which assault cases should be prosecuted.
Men in leadership positions must recognize that sexual assault and sexual harassment is terribly harmful, and terribly wrong.” Their record isn’t good, and New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has pushed to have military prosecutors make that decision. Top military officials are contrite, but they have pled that taking prosecution decisions away from the commanders would erode commanders’ authority. And the Senate Armed Services Committee and the House of Representatives have settled for much weaker measures. The cases of Shelly Silver and the military assaults highlight two problems. One is simply the power of the good-old-boy network. Those on the inside feel so chummy toward others in their group, so like them, that the selfinterests and protection of those in the group overwhelm concern for anybody outside of it. The other, sadly, is the assumption by far too many men that girls and women exist for their sexual gratification. Education is the ultimate correction to that attitude, obviously. But meantime, men in leadership positions must recognize that sexual assault and sexual harassment is terribly harmful, and terribly wrong. And they must pledge to act against it, forcefully, when it happens, both to stop the actions of the offenders and to underscore society’s abhorrence of the offense. Shelly Silver’s response to sexual assault in Albany, Assembly members’ response to Silver’s actions, the military’s response to sexual assaults, and the response of Congress to that response: all of these overwhelm any words of contrition and any commitment to women’s rights. It’s way past time for the actions of these leaders to live up to their words. Meantime, I’m not paying much attention to the words. rochestercitynewspaper.com

Historical Society hits a rough patch
‘Raise the age for prosecution’
The Rochester Historical Society’s board is facing some serious financial challenges, and the head of its board says it may need to change how it operates. Board Chair Pat Malgieri says the Historical Society’s challenges mirror those facing cultural organizations across the country, and the economy is a factor. In an interview last week, Malgieri wouldn’t go into details about the organization’s finances. But its routine filings with the state Attorney General’s office show that its expenses surpassed its revenue in the 2011-12 fiscal year and in several previous years. The Society moved its offices and most of its collection to the Rochester Public Library’s Rundel building in 2009 after selling its East Avenue headquarters, the Woodside mansion. It paid its rent through March, says RPL Director Patty Uttaro, but earlier this year, it informed library officials that it couldn’t pay its April, May, and June rent. The Historical Society is not in any immediate danger of losing its space at Rundel; Uttaro says there has been no talk of terminating the Society’s lease. Its annual rent is $48,000. Library and Historical Society officials say they are working together on plans to help the Society stabilize. Historical Society officials are also pursuing options regarding the
organization’s future operations. They are also in discussions with other institutions, though Malgieri says he can’t specify the nature of the talks. “Our responsibility is to do all that we can to try to assure that the Historical Society The Rochester Public continues to serve the Library’s Rundel buildRochester community,” ing. FILE PHOTO Malgieri says. Cynthia Howk, architectural research coordinator at the Landmark Society and a Historical Society member, says the Society’s collection contains some important resources, including photos, portraits of Rochester residents, letters, and architectural drawings. The organization is particularly suited to draw on the region’s interest in history and the booming genealogy field, she says. If the Society publicizes its offerings and improves access to them, she says, it could see a boost in membership and public interest. “People are trying to find out their own stories,” Howk says. “That’s what historical societies should be all about.”
New York is one of two states that prosecute all youth as adults when they turn 16. About 50,000 16- and 17-year-olds are arrested every year in the state and are prosecuted in criminal courts as adults, mostly for minor crimes. The majority are black and Latino. | According to the Children’s Defense Fund-NY and The Children’s Agenda, that’s a major contributor to the cradle-to-prison pipeline. At a recent public meeting, officials from the two child-advocacy organizations asked parents and educators for their support in a “Raise the Age” campaign to get lawmakers to raise the age in New York from 16 to 18. | Numerous studies show that prosecuting children as adults wastes scarce resources and is counterproductive. Instead of rehabilitating children, it houses them with hardened criminals, where they are often sexually and physically abused. Even worse, they learn to be criminals as a way to survive confinement. | Information on the campaign is available from Beth Powers, (212) 697-2323 or www.cdfny.org.

MEDIA | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
Bill Maher’s funny fury Comedian and TV personality Bill Maher, who will perform at the Auditorium Theatre on Saturday, July 13, has been pushing the boundaries of comedy and political satire for more than 20 years. While many comedians have found success combining politics with humor in their stand-up routines, Maher is among the few who have managed to navigate the much trickier waters of television, where one misstep can send sponsors running. “Politically Incorrect” ran on ABC from 1993 to 2002. And Maher’s “Real Time” has run on HBO for the last nine years. The shows have earned Maher nearly 30 Emmy nominations. His 2008 documentary film “Religulous,” directed by Larry Charles, was a hysterical swipe at organized religion. In it, Maher travels around the world talking to people about God. The interviews show the fine line between faith’s good and destructive forces. And he’s written five books, his most recent being “The New New Rules: A Funny Look at How Everybody But Me Has Their Head Up Their Ass.” Maher’s most recent endeavor, as executive producer of the HBO news series “Vice,” marks a clear departure from humor. Vice is a stirring, sometimes graphic mix of news and documentary film. The episodes have a hardto-watch, can’t-look-away fascination. In a recent phone interview, Maher gave his own take on a wide range of topics: Americans’ narrow appetite for news, getting snubbed by Bill Clinton, the recent national-security leaks, the changes in the Republican Party during the last decade, how Republicans have changed their positions on issues they once supported, mainly to impede President Obama. In his characteristic frankness, Maher said that much of the particularly virulent comments about Obama are racially motivated. Born in New York City, Maher started his career as a stand-up comedian, and he still makes more than 50 appearances a year. He was most influenced, he said, by comedians Robert Klein and Johnny Carson. While he was drawn to Klein’s wit, he remembers Carson as a kind of nurturing godfather for comedians. And Maher credits his father for introducing him to politics. The following is an edited version of that interview. CITY: You’ve created a niche that mixes comedy with serious political commentary. Did you always know that this is what you wanted to do? What made you combine the two?
MAHER: I don’t think I knew it consciously, but my father was a newsman. That’s what he did for a living. He was in radio news in the old days when every radio 6 CITY
JUNE 19-25, 2013
station had news at the top of the hour, even the rock and roll station I listened to as a kid. And he was also a funny guy, a good living-room comedian when his friends were over. My mother was a witty person, too, and that’s the stew I was born into. Do you think that many Americans become so upset by political discourse that humor becomes an easier way of listening to or talking about difficult subjects?
I do think that’s a lot of it. I think there’s a lot of cynicism. And I think a lot of them feel the news is so disheartening, the country is so corrupt, and the system is so rigged, and we’re so poisoned, ripped off, and lied to that it doesn’t deserve serious recounting. They would rather have it come through satire. Now I don’t think this is anything new in American history. I also think that part of it is that we’ve become lazier. It’s just easier to get your news and humor from one source. Why read the real story when you can go right to the Cliff Notes? And you know, I guess I’m somewhat responsible for it. Some people might say that your approach is a little abrasive, and given that, do you change any hearts and minds?
I’ll tell you, in doing this for 20 years over three networks and two different shows, you really don’t change people’s minds about politics. The number of people who have come up to me over the years or reached out over Twitter or Facebook and say, “Hey, I used to be a dyed-in-the-wool conservative and now I’m a bleeding heart liberal” is almost none. But that’s not my goal. My goal is to inform and entertain. I’ll tell you what is easy to change people’s views about, and that’s religion. I can’t tell you the number of people who have come up to me and said, “I saw ‘Religulous’ and boy, I’m so glad I did. And I don’t go to church anymore.” It’s so easy to flip people about the religious thing. You just point out a few

things, and it all starts to unravel. People always ask me, “What [spiritual] figure do you relate to?” And I always say, “Toto from ‘The Wizard of Oz.’” He’s the little dog that pulled the curtain back and showed that the Wizard was just an ordinary guy even though he was claiming to be something else. Your television program “Politically Incorrect” first aired in the 1990’s. What has changed during that time?
I think politics changed. When we started in ’93, [former US Senate Majority Leader] Bob Dole was the guy running the show in the Senate. Bob Dole sponsored a health-care bill that is basically very much like what we wound up with in Obamacare. Twenty years ago, Republicans were for much of Obamacare. They changed. Twenty years ago, many Republicans were for a cap-and-trade bill and talked

They are against what they used to be for because they’ve tap danced so far to the right, they don’t even want to admit that global warming exists. They say it’s a hoax. I’m not the first person to point this out, but they’ve moved so far to the right that they’ve skewed everybody’s commentary. I think I used to play it a continues on page 8

little bit more down the middle. I don’t think my politics and sensibility changed. One of the parties changed. We’re always hearing about the influence of the conservative media machine on politics, led by conservative talk radio. Do you see yourself as a one of the leaders of progressive media?
Progressive media have asked me a number of times to come to work for them, and I always tell them, “I think I would disappoint too many of your listeners because I don’t think I’m predictably progressive.” I don’t know if I would really fit in on MSNBC, because I think I would piss them off. I never say anything I don’t mean on my show. I don’t say anything just to be contrary. And I’m not always in the liberals' camp. They very often get mad at me on my show. What’s your view of the NSA leaks?
Now there’s an issue where we see that it’s completely impossible to predict the left and right, and what side people will come down on. [Former vice president] Al Gore said it was one of the worst things he’s ever seen. Al Franken said we were aware of this, and that this isn’t news. It’s funny because the Ron Paul people, which I usually think of as far to the right, are in agreement with the NYCLU people, which are far to the left. It has really scrambled things up. We were talking about it on the show, and I’m still a little bit on the edge. I’m still wrestling with it, and what I said was, for me, the thing that tips the scale is the fact that there are nuclear weapons in the world. And there are so many crazy people who want to get their hands of them and use them. If there weren’t, then I think I would come down on the side that’s saying this is too intrusive. For all the people who make the point that the founding fathers could not have predicted assault weapons, true; but they couldn’t have predicted nuclear weapons, either, which can do so much more damage. An assault weapon is a few grades above a musket. But a nuclear weapon is unimaginable, and the fact that there are thousands of them in the world, and that we don’t know if some of them are loose and where they could show up, concerns me. Obama himself, when he was pressed on the question, “What keeps you up at night?” finally answered, “Pakistan.” That’s the place where there are nuclear weapons and people ready to give them to a terrorist. You’re the executive producer of Vice on HBO, and it’s been a long time since we’ve seen anything like this approach to 8 CITY

journalism. It’s very graphic. What are you trying to do with Vice?
It is so different, and I think what it does more than anything is open the eyes of Americans to what they don’t see. Americans are rather inward looking. We were just talking in a producers’ meeting about a statistic: 41 percent of Americans have absolutely no desire to travel overseas. It’s one thing to be unable to afford to travel overseas, but this is not about that. This is about people saying, “Nah, nothing to see over there.” I don’t think a lot of Americans, including a lot of well-educated people, have a clue of what the rest of the world is like. And that’s what Vice does. We may think things are crazy here – well, just look at [what’s happening in] those oil fields in Nigeria. Just look at the Philippines, where they believe smoking is a cure for cancer. Just look at Indonesia, if you think we have a gun problem. The shows are eye-opening, and Friday is the finale for the season, and it’s Dennis Rodman in North Korea. If people have had their minds blown by this show, this will be an appropriate and fitting finale because North Korea is the craziest place in this crazy world. An episode showing the Taliban’s use of children as suicide bombers shows the carnage after a bomber explodes in a public market. We hear these reports all the time, but we never see it. Why in your view has the network news shied away from this coverage? And if Americans were seeing this in their nightly news, do you think the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq would have lasted so long?
Probably. The nightly news gives you one segment of real news. I watch the nightly news every night. It’s sort of a thumb on the pulse of people who are interested enough to want to know what’s going on, but not as interested as a news junkie. I find it very ironic because nightly news in the Walter Cronkite era used to complain that they only had a half hour and they needed more time to adequately educate the American public. Now it doesn’t even use its half hour. You get one first slug — I was watching this the other night — then they went right to storm chasers, which is not news. By the time you get to the last segment, it’s just some feel good story about a one-legged skier or some nonsense. So if that’s the way people get their news, good luck. You talk about President Obama a lot on your show, often supportively and sometimes critically. Why is Obama such a lightning rod, and why is the response from the right so extreme?
“I don’t think a lot of Americans, including a lot of well-educated people, have a clue of what the rest of the world is like.” He’s black. I mean they hate Democrats to begin with. Let’s be honest. They hated Clinton, too. But it’s also that he’s black. That’s the extra element. It’s not rational. I was watching something about [former governor of Alabama] George Wallace because it was the 50th anniversary of him standing in the doorway [of a building at the University of Alabama blocking black students from entering]. People in this day and age often don’t know that they are racists and often deny it. Whenever you hear someone say, “I’m not a racist, but,” I can almost guarantee you that whatever comes after the ‘but’ is some kind of racist nonsense. They feel something in their gut that they can’t quantify. They feel that the country has changed, and it has. I mean we have 20 women senators now. We have six gay Congress people. We have a bisexual, a Hindu, a Buddhist, and a Muslim. And the vision of a black man getting on Air Force One just doesn’t compute for them. So they lash out on a very emotional level on issues that have nothing to do with them. Gay marriage? What could have less to do with their lives than whether gay people are getting married? Who cares? It doesn’t matter. But it suggests that the country that they remember is better than the one they live in today. And it’s often not even an accurate memory. It’s a conflated memory. And it really is racially motivated. The country they liked better did not have black people in charge.

Who haven’t you interviewed that you wish that you could?
My big fish that I never got was Bill Clinton, and I’ve tried every which way to get him on. I’ve tried shaming him publicly. I did it once when we were on “Larry King Live” together, and I’ve done it privately. At this point, I have to take it as a badge of honor that these people who will not come on my show do it because they know I will not pull any punches or kiss their ass. But certainly Bill Clinton should do my show.

Kissing the grits [ CHOW HOUND ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO
You’ve no doubt encountered representations of pineapples in seemingly strange places, whether forged in brass for a door knocker or carved in the wood of an old home’s staircase. The pineapple has actually long been a symbol of friendship and welcome, with major prevalence in the American South. That’s why you’ll also find a large, abstract sculpture of the exotic fruit in the corner of the second-floor dining room at The Revelry, the new eatery that’s taken shape in the brick Huther Bros. building near the corner of University and Culver. According to Revelry founder and co-owner Josh Miles, “It’s all about hospitality.” The Greenville, South Carolina, native made his bones at Kiawah Island’s wildly acclaimed Sanctuary Hotel before landing in Rochester to help open Next Door Bar & Grill for Wegmans, and when he decided to create a restaurant of his own, Miles looked around the city and saw an unfilled niche for “a different cuisine, a different level of service.” Miles decided upon Lowcountry food, native to his home state and borne from such diverse influences as French Huguenot settlers, Caribbean and African cuisines, Southern barbecue culture, and the bounty of seafood on the Atlantic coast. This distinctly American mash-up makes its way to executive chef Derrick DePorter’s menu in familiar yet inspired ways. Think starters like lush pork-belly sliders with pickled greens and maple mustard ($10), beet-pink deviled eggs with piquant mustard seed and smoky house-cured bacon ($7), and an eye-popping salad of wild greens enhanced
by edible flowers, blue cheese, and a warm vinaigrette with country ham ($10). Entrées are similarly imaginative, like dry-aged duck breast over smoked cheddar grits with pickled cranberries and pea tendrils ($30), as well as plump seared scallops with red pea succotash, parsnip purée, and bacon jam ($26). And that Secession Sauce gilding The Revelry’s killer burger ($15)? It’s spiked with bourbon, y’all. Speaking of hooch: “We want to be one of the best cocktail bars in town,” says Miles, an ambition entirely possible thanks to the gorgeously chandeliered space and Jon Karel’s inventive craft libations ($10), which range from the ambrosial Oxbow, made with gin, fresh rhubarb juice, ginger liqueur, and cloverhoney syrup, to the deliciously assertive Tran ’84, consisting of blanco tequila, elderflower liqueur, fresh cucumber, and Sriracha hot sauce. That’s certainly not to say that the other drinks get short shrift; the beer offerings showcase the best American microbreweries, and the wine program... well, you can see it for yourself, through the floor. Miles, a certified sommelier, sourced the wine list from both near and far, and its broad scope is visible through the glass under your feet as you enter The Revelry’s convivial lobby. “It’s not easy turning a 180-year-old building into a restaurant,” Miles says. “But it’s a dream come true.” The Revelry is located at 1290 University Ave. It is open Tuesday-Thursday 11:30 a.m.-midnight, Friday 11:30 a.m.-2 a.m., Saturday 4 p.m.-2 a.m., and Sunday 11:30 a.m.-4 p.m. Food prices range from $7 to $30.

Streetlight Manifesto THURSDAY, JUNE 20 WATER STREET MUSIC HALL, 204 N. WATER ST. 8 P.M. | $17.50-$20 | WATERSTREETMUSIC.COM [ SKA ] Punk-rock music was built on a do-it-yourself
foundation and a healthy aversion to the establishment. New Jersey’s Streetlight Manifesto has embodied this ideal with its latest move. SLM’s most recent studio effort, this spring’s “The Hands That Thieve,” was originally scheduled to drop in the summer of 2012, but the release was delayed because of a drawn-out battle with its record label. Streetlight Manifesto was so disillusioned with the higher-ups that the band actually asked its fans to boycott its own music. If that isn’t punk, I don’t what is. — BY DAVID YOCKEL, JR.
Jucifer WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26 BUG JAR, 219 MONROE AVE. 9:15 P.M. | $10-$12 | BUGJAR.COM [ HEAVY ROCK ] Jucifer is easily the heaviest duo in the

Hailing from Atlanta, guitarist Amber Valentine plays through a wall — and I mean a wall — of amplifiers while drummer Edgar Livengood beats his drums like Thor. These two make most stoner-rock bands sound like the Meow Mix commercial. This is what it sounds like when doves die. Bring a bag for your head. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

[ REVIEW ] BY FRANK DE BLASE
It’s not like they’re pickling their bodies in alcohol, or making arrangements to join Walt Disney and Ted Williams in frozen limbo. But at this rate let me Jimmy the Greek it for you: Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes are going to be here forever. If the fork in the road gives you a choice of either The E Street Band or The Asbury Jukes, juke it, baby. The road may be rougher and tougher, but there is still rock ‘n’ roll paradise to be found when you get to the end. It’s basically a barroom-rock outfit — the soundtrack to come-ons, fist fights, and nine-ball. The band is relentless, as demonstrated Thursday, June 13, at the first dry night of the season for Party in the Park. Southside Johnny’s vocals were a little ragged, but that just added more twist and torque to the gut wrench. It was a bit loud, but when the music is good, loud is a plus. The band’s un-self-aware joy was illustrated by periodic jumping around — not like ninjas or methodically cool rock ‘n’ roll stars with their screw faces and gunfighter stances, but like 4-yearolds taking utter delight in the beat. An estimated 2,500 people or so braved the
cool, rejoicing in the blue sky and the righteous blue-eyed soul. The East End was buzzing Friday night as it took a step back to an earlier time when the East End Festival was about the music and not an outdoor meat market. There were still plenty of quality cuts strolling about, but it was the excellent music line-up that made the night. I started out with Amanda Lee Peers and The Driftwood Sailors, who have officially transitioned from dreamy acoustic mysticism to full-out rock. I kind of miss the minor melancholy but dug the bluesy attack a la “Houses of the Holy.” Next it was the JJ Lang Band as it kissed the sky with its big engine chugging beneath Lang’s vocal arrows. The Natalie B Band stomped through some bluesy boogie as the sun sank behind. It brought to mind some Big Joe Turner lyrics to mind. Blackened Blues broke out the hip-hoprock hybrid with some Roots Collider in its ranks and the kids couldn’t sit still. Same went for Audio Influx as the band burned the groovy soul well into the evening for the beer- and sun-soaked crowd.

Mulu Lizi REVERBNATION.COM/MULULIZI
Usually when discussing a concept album or a band with an ongoing narrative, you figure that theatrics aren’t far behind. Mulu Lizi is a Rochester quartet that has aliens and zombies wandering in and out of its post-but-not-thatpost-90’s sound. The band’s brooding music doesn’t necessarily lend itself sonically to the walking dead and the extraterrestrial, but then again the lyrics don’t try to highjack Mulu Lizi into walking boldly where no man has walked before. No pyro, no flash, just rock ’n’ roll. The hooks save it from getting too out of reach. Rochester band Mulu Lizi takes its name from a star, and finds lyrical inspiration in aliens and zombies. Just a year old, the band has started work All that aside, it’s still all about straight-ahead rock ‘n’ roll.

Steve Mackin: Instrumentally we mess around until a riff comes out, then Arthur fleshes out the arrangement. Arthur Zimmer: And sometimes by the time we’re finished that riff won’t even be in there.

What won’t you do? Arthur Zimmer: We love creating new music.
We actually like to keep the tempo up for most of our songs. We don’t have any slower-type songs. We don’t really like to do the ballads.
What do you do? Arthur Zimmer: We like to keep it fun, happy,
feet moving… we do have songs with slower BPMs to break things up, but we never drop off into that acoustic ballad.
Does Mulu Lizi sound like what you set out to have it sound like? Chris Zimmer: It definitely sounds different.
We’re always listening for new things.
What do you do to keep them there? Arthur Zimmer: Coming out strong with a
couple of songs quick. We stack three songs, come right in, and pound through them, then give an intro and take a second to breathe, then back into the show.
Do you think playing covers helps or hurts this situation? Arthur Zimmer: We always stick covers in our
sets. You will never hear us without at least one or two in there.
What’s next for the band? Chris Zimmer: We’ll take this as far as it will go. Perhaps all the way to Mulu Lizi.
What’s an ideal Mulu Lizi show? Chris Zimmer: There needs to be people in the
audience, first of all. This is a hard town to do this in. Arthur Zimmer: I remember when we started our first band, when we were just kids, we’d play whole shows ourselves and the places would be packed and we’d get like $200 for the night. We were 16, we were nothing. We were playing like, garbage punk, my voice was horrible, but it didn’t matter because people came out to shows. Even when we’d

POP/ROCK | THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
HIP-HOP | KINGS OF THE MIC TOUR
R&B | MARY J BLIGE
At some point in early 2012, word started to disseminate about a superfluously voweled band from California named The Neighbourhood. Armed with an effectively scant bio and a few moody, atmospheric, and altogether catchy alternative pop tracks, the outfit quickly gained traction on blogs and across the pond on BBC Radio 1. Despite the limited availability of information early on, the band has continued its meteoric rise despite remaining in what you might call its toddler phase. Riding the success of early buzz, the band continues to impress in this, its first national headlining jaunt supporting debut album “I Love You.” The 1975 also plays.
LL Cool J needs no introduction. Chances are you or your lady friend will swoon at the sound of his name. The Grammy-winning recording artist-actor-entrepreneur headlines Kings of the Mic Tour, which features a line-up of classic hip-hop acts that includes Public Enemy. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame cut to the chase by inducting Public Enemy (class of 2013) in its first year of eligibility. Chuck D and company don’t censor too much and certainly aren’t puppets to the man. Public Enemy still packs its sonic productions — not to mention its lyrical punch — so densely and up-tempo that you might need to slow it down on the playback. Ice Cube and De La Soul complete the bill.
Since making a multiplatinum splash way back in 1992 with “What’s the 411?” R&B queen Mary J. Blige hasn’t let up. She’s had eight multi-platinum albums, won nine Grammy Awards (from 29 nominations), and taken home four American Music Awards. Blige is the undisputed queen of contemporary R&B. Anthony Hamilton, Bridget Kelly, and Jay Lamont also perform.
The Neighbourhood plays Saturday, June 22, 8 p.m. at the Main Street Armory, 900 E. Main St. $9.45-$15. rochestermainstreetarmory.com. — BY DAVE LABARGE

Theater loosened up, and the show became more focused. The director has kept the throughline firm, and the string of speeches and songs is never a parade of special material. The ensemble really gives the sense of developing from a bunch of individuals vying for a job to a finely tuned group.

Putting it all on the line “A Chorus Line” BY PITTSFORD MUSICALS THROUGH JUNE 22 PANARA THEATRE, RIT CAMPUS $15-$22 | 866-967-8167, PITTSFORDMUSICALS.ORG [ REVIEW ] BY DAVID RAYMOND
If you were around for the original incarnation of “A Chorus Line” in the 1970’s, you may remember the ads touting it as “The Best Musical. Ever.” Its award-laden 15-year run on Broadway seemed to bear that out; the show even survived a terrible movie adaptation. Whether or not “A Chorus Line” is the best ever, it remains something special and moving. Michael Bennett’s delineation of the lives of dancers who put everything on the line for a part still resonates with anybody who has ever been interviewed for a job — or judged on anything. In the rare possibility that you’ve never encountered “A Chorus Line,” it’s the story — or stories, mostly true — of a group of a dozen or so dancers auditioning for a Broadway show. In addition to their performance try-outs, Zach, the director, asks each of the dancers to talk about themselves. After some initial resistance, they do, in a series of vignettes and songs that range from hilarious to extremely emotional, but all addressing each character’s passion: to dance on Broadway. The required eight are eventually chosen, the others are dismissed, and that’s it. Except, in a combination curtain call and grand finale, Bennett allows all his dancers the chance to
strut their stuff. This glitzy finale is Absolute Broadway, but if the show is well performed, it also has a bittersweet undercurrent: you have come know and care about all these characters and realize this is not just a chorus line. “A Chorus Line” is not often seen in
community theater because of its demands: excellent dancers who can also be excellent actors. So it is good to see that Pittsford Musicals has found a stage full of them for this very creditable revival. Like “West Side Story,” “Fiddler on the Roof,” or “Evita,” the original mounting of “A Chorus Line” was so distinctive and appropriate that later productions try to be replicas. Directors and choreographers who want to fiddle with the mirrors, the gold hats, or Cassie’s red dress — not to mention Bennett’s original staging and choreography — do so at their peril. And why not? There’s no particular reason to re-solve problems Bennett solved so precisely and elegantly the first time, and which still remain a challenge to dancers. So while Pittsford Musicals’ production looks pretty much like all the others, they do get it right. Director Steve Duprey, choreographer Shelly Thompson, and the well-chosen cast fill the template with enthusiasm, skill, and some stand-out performances. No, the dancing is not at the magically precise Bennett level, and the opening night’s dancing was a bit ragged here and there, but one senses the problems could be fixed immediately. The show’s opening seemed long (it’s hard for it not to, with all those anonymous dancers running through all those routines), but once the auditioners are chosen by Zach, the show kicked in: the performances
cast where you want to mention everybody, but hopefully praise of a few reflects the high level of the rest. This is well-worn material by now, but most of it seemed quite fresh in this group’s hands. Adell Cecconi as Val nails every laugh in the famous “Dance: Ten; Looks: Three” number, not to mention the monologue that precedes it. Lauren MacDonough brings a nicely controlled sense of anger to “Nothing,” the deceptively jaunty song about the nasty drama teacher. As Sheila, Kimberly Schwenzer seems too young to be quite so jaded, but she plays the character gamely. And William Ruiz does a terrific job with Paul’s long account about being a young gay man discovered by his parents as a drag performer. Now that drag queens are a pop-culture staple, this monologue is not exactly the big surprise it was in 1975. But Ruiz’s emotional honesty made it the show’s dramatic highlight. The show doesn’t really have a lead, though a lot of dramatic weight is put on the role of Cassie, Zach’s former lover and a down-on-her-luck dancer of great talent. Cassie was originally played by, and modeled on, the great Broadway dancer Donna McKechnie; it fit her like a glove, and frankly I don’t envy anyone who has had to succeed her unique performance in this role. Chelsea Lynn Miller acts this role well, though she doesn’t bring McKechnie’s vulnerable quality to her acting, though she performs her huge, demanding solo dance very well. Whenever I see “A Chorus Line,” I am always
surprised by Marvin Hamlisch’s ambitious score. Along with all the now-famous numbers like “One” and “What I Did for Love,” the show has a cinematic amount of underscoring, precisely lined up with the dialogue. Despite a few minor glitches in timing, the band, led by Pittsford’s longtime conductor Harold MacAuliffe, sounded great. The band is also nowhere to be seen (presumably it’s behind the set), which adds to the intimacy and movie-like feel of the piece. Bigger blockbusters have hit Broadway since “A Chorus Line” ruled the Great White Way, but this show remains a singular sensation, the very definition of a Broadway classic. Pittsford Musicals’ production should please those who know the show well, and make new friends among those who don’t.

FILMS | “DECODING ANNIE PARKER”/“COMFORT ZONE”
Feed your brain this week with the following local screenings of educational films about the proactive choices some women are making regarding breast cancer, and the impact that global warming may have on this region’s environment. Almost immediately following the news of Angelina Jolie’s radical decision to have a preemptive double mastectomy, the local chapter of Gilda’s Club will host the Rochester premiere of “Decoding Annie Parker,” a film about a woman with a story that is very similar to Ms. Jolie’s. By the age of 29, Annie Parker had lost her mother, sister, and a cousin to breast cancer. Parker was diagnosed, lost faith in coincidence, and research scientist Mary-Claire King’s discovery of the BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 genes proved that as many as 5 percent to 10 percent of all cases of breast cancer and/or ovarian cancer are hereditary. Parker’s story is told in the film, “Decoding Annie Parker,” which stars Helen Hunt (pictured) as King and Samantha Morton as Parker, and was an official selection of numerous film festivals, including Cannes. The film will be released this fall, but you can preview it in Rochester on Monday, June 24, at the Dryden Theatre of George Eastman House (900 East Ave.). The screening takes place at 7 p.m., and tickets are $30 (or $100 for a VIP ticket, which includes reserved seating and a pre-screening reception at 5:30 p.m. with the film’s director, Steven Bernstein, and the real Annie Parker). Both ticket levels include a post-screening Q&A with Jack Garner, Bernstein, and Parker. Tickets may be purchased through EventBrite, via gildasclubrochester.org. Rochester Community TV is celebrating its 20th anniversary year with a three-part film forum and speaker series spotlighting the effects of climate change from a local perspective. The second film in the series, “Comfort Zone,” will be screened at the Cinema Theater (957 S. Clinton Ave.) on Monday, June 24, at 7 p.m., followed by a Q&A session with the filmmakers. In the documentary, local filmmakers Dave Danesh, Sean P. Donnelly, and Kate Kressmann-Kehoe bring global warming home by taking an intimate look at the impact climate change will have on Upstate New York. The film explores what will become of our apples and lilacs, our lakes and forests. Seating is limited and advanced ticket purchase is recommended. General admission is $6 per person, and tickets may be purchased at RCTV15 (21 Gorham St.), or online at RCTV15.org. For more information or to reserve a spot, call 325-1238 between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. for pickup at the box office prior to the screening.

As an aunt and frequent babysitter of small kids, and lacking the stamina and steel nerves of a parent (bless you all), I like to let the children run amok in a safe environment before trying to engage them with something somewhat educational and then returning the pooped kiddos to my beleaguered sis. If you’re in need of a little break, take the tykes to the Fudge Expo, held on Saturday, June 22, 9 a.m.-6 p.m. at the Main Street Armory (900 E. Main St.). The all-ages family fun day features not a bounce house, but a bounce town, pony rides, a petting zoo, an exotic animal show, games, exhibits, demonstrations, and face painting. Tickets cost $7 for a single parent with child, $2.50 per additional ticket, $6 for a single admission, $11 for a family four-pack, and is free to kids under age 1, and are available at Wegmans locations and at the door. All ticket proceeds benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities of Rochester. For more information, call 2323221 or visit rochestermainstreetarmory.com. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

RECREATION | CITYSOLVE
How fortuitous that almost immediately following ROC Transit Day, an event is scheduled to challenge your new public-transportation skills. CitySolve Urban Race is described as an urban adventure game where teams solve pop-culture-type clues to find hidden checkpoints and face challenges, with the restriction that they may only travel by foot and public transportation. CitySolve will be held in Rochester on Saturday, June 22, starting and finishing at Murphy’s Law (370 East Ave.). The event kicks off at 11:30 a.m. Teams will be asked to answer an eclectic group of questions ranging from pop culture to (relatively simple) math equations in order to reach the next checkpoint. Participants will also meet challenges along the way, from throwing a strike in bowling, to listening and naming a song title or artist. At each of 10 locations, teams must repeat the process of solving clues, finding checkpoints, and taking a photo of themselves. The first team to return to the finish line at Murphy’s Law and successfully solve all the clues and challenges is declared the winner, and will be awarded $300. Other prizes will be awarded for second- and thirdplace teams, best costume, and best Tweet. To register for the event or for more information on CitySolve Urban Race, visit citysolveurbanrace. com and click on “Rochester NY.” Email chris@ citysolveurbanrace.com with questions. Registration costs $50 per person ($55 after 6/21 and $60 day-of), and a portion of all proceeds will benefit RochesterYMCA. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY [ WED., JUNE 26 ] Health Information Technology Symposium.

THEATER | “9 TO 5: THE MUSICAL”
The hit 1980 movie “9 to 5,” starring Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton, resonated with many womenin-a-man’s-world who worked hard for their money, felt utterly underappreciated, and dreamt of ways to turn those tables. If this sounds familiar, indulge in a little revenge fantasy this weekend, when Everyone’s Theatre Company’s staging of “9 to 5: The Musical” hits School of the Arts (45 Prince St.). Based on the film, the show follows three fed-up female employees who ultimately outwit their horror of a boss, and features music and lyrics by Dolly Parton. Pushed to the boiling point by their boss, three female co-workers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call boss. The show kicks off this weekend, Saturday, June 22, at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, June 23, at 2 p.m., and continues through June 30. Tickets are $15 in advance ($10 for students, seniors, and TANYS members), or $20 at the door ($15 for students, seniors, and TANYS members).

A reluctant superhero [ REVIEW ] BY GEORGE GRELLA
“Man of Steel” (PG-13), DIRECTED BY ZACK SNYDER NOW PLAYING
Hollywood owes an enormous debt to the creators of the first caped crusader, the apparently immortal Superman. His comic books spawned radio shows, television series, and all those costumed superheroes, magically gifted adventurers who could fly, float, burst into flames, turn invisible, suspend the laws of physics, and satisfy other juvenile fantasies. The latest addition to the series also demonstrates the contemporary film industry’s propensity for relying on the triumph of technology over imagination.

“Man of Steel” essentially retells what’s known in the trade as the origin story, familiar to any comic-book reader and millions of moviegoers all over the world. As the planet Krypton heads rapidly toward its own apocalypse through mindless destruction of its core — whatever that means — a wise leader named Jor-El (Russell Crowe) prepares to evacuate his newborn son, KalEl, the first naturally born child in centuries, to save the Kryptonian race. His antagonist, General Zod (Michael Shannon), plans another agenda, involving a kind of genocide, attempts to stop Jor-El, but ends up imprisoned temporarily in a science-fiction limbo. That initial conflict establishes the major plot of the movie when Zod and his cohorts turn up on Earth to colonize the planet and recover Kryptonian DNA from Superman (Henry Cavill). As we all know, the protagonist landed there as an infant and was raised by Jonathan and Martha Kent (Kevin Costner and Diane Lane). The most interesting parts of the movie, however, deal with the background of the hero’s life as Clark

Kent and his ambivalence about his powers and his place in the world. The internal conflicts that Clark Kent suffers provide “Man of Steel” with a greater emotional depth than any of the previous works in the franchise. The people and actions frequently touch, however tentatively, on mythic and religious themes, which if fully developed, would add a further, richer dimension to the all-toofamiliar story. His arrival as an infant, for example, recalls the story of Moses floating down the river in Egypt, and his several references to his age — 33 — and to his ambiguous role on Earth as both an enemy and a savior emphasize his connections to another Biblical figure, suggesting he is more a god than a superhero. Some of the best moments in the movie involve Clark Kent’s relationship with his foster parents, shown mostly through an intermittent series of flashbacks to his childhood and adolescence. When he performs one of his miracles to save a busload of children, for example, he and the Kents realize that his difference from ordinary humans creates distrust, that people hate what they cannot understand. This Superman becomes a most reluctant hero, who dons his cape with a good deal of doubt and uncertainty. Despite all that sympathetic and mature material, the script ultimately settles for the now obligatory pyrotechnics of the Hollywood spectacular — epic battles, explosions, conflagrations, massive destruction of buildings,

Hollywood vs. the Apocalypse [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
“This Is the End” (R), DIRECTED BY EVAN GOLDBERG AND SETH ROGEN NOW PLAYING
vehicles, airplanes, and, though never shown, people. One of the many repeated battles between Superman and Zod’s gang of evil Kryptonians demolishes the town of Smallville, now moved from Illinois to Kansas; another, on a larger scale, destroys much of midtown Metropolis. After perhaps the 10th shot of Zod or Superman throwing his opponent through skyscrapers, the extreme violence becomes ridiculous, even boring, not exactly the desired reactions to a blockbuster. The talented and accomplished cast again provides the real emotion in the film. The understated, underplayed scenes featuring Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, and Henry Cavill display some genuine humanity, the words and actions of a most believable family confronting a most unbelievable situation. Their validity and appeal in a sense negate the explosive exaggeration of the endlessly repeated, endlessly uninventive confrontations between Zod and Superman. The script’s interpretation of General Zod turns the character into a sneering, snarling Hitler who believes in racial purity and the extinction of inferiors, allowing Michael Shannon, who gives good crazy, to overact in contrast to the other characters. Following some handsome, muscular actors in the role, Henry Cavill makes a most impressive superhero. His chiseled good looks and his impressive physique, often exhibited shirtless or in a new, extremely tight costume, will surely please any female fans of the series, which will, alas, surely continue.
If you’ve grown weary of the Judd Apatow school of comedy — the patented examination of male anxieties in their various forms, starring the usual rotating roster of familiar faces — “This Is the End,” which finds the Apatow players facing down the apocalypse, is likely not going to bring you back into the fold. But by staying away you would be missing out on the crudest, most audacious, and balls-out nuttiest comedy released so far this year. There’s still plenty of time left in 2013, but I have a hard time believing that I’ll see anything at the multiplex as delightfully demented as Seth Rogen and company playing soccer with a severed head, or a larcenous, axe-wielding Emma Watson. Adding to the oddball insanity of the film, the actors all play themselves, or rather, fictionalized versions of themselves. As the film opens, Seth Rogen is picking up his old friend, Jay Baruchel, from the airport. Baruchel is visiting from Canada in order to spend some quality time with Rogen, who long ago left his Canuck buddy behind to find fame and fortune in
The cast of “This Is the End.” PHOTO COUR-
Hollywood. After welcoming Baruchel to L.A. with a smorgasbord of video games and weed, Rogen convinces his reluctant pal to accompany him to a raucous party at James Franco’s mansion, where he hopes to integrate his old friend with his posse of famous new friends. The party scene is filled with cameos galore from just about every currently popular name in comedy (and Rihanna, for some inexplicable reason), all clearly eager to have some fun messing with their public personas. Michael Cera wins the cameo contest, depicted here as a coked-outof-his-mind sex fiend. Eventually, Rogen and Baruchel venture down to the local convenience store to get some snacks, but suddenly the earth begins to shake, giant sinkholes open up, the Hollywood hills burst into flames, and all around them, citizens get yanked into the sky by a blue light. Wouldn’t you know it, it’s The Rapture. After the majority of the partygoers are horribly slaughtered en masse, the few survivors — Rogen, Baruchel, Franco, Jonah Hill, and Craig Robinson (plus Danny McBride, who unbeknownst to the group, had crashed the party and passed out upstairs) — barricade themselves inside the mansion and attempt to wait out the end of the world. Amidst the rampant drug use, dick jokes, and goofy, over-the-top gore, perhaps what’s most shocking is how sincerely the film takes its premise. The focus on how the group has to deal with the complications that might arise when the world comes to an end, from rationing food, to looters, to fending off demonic entities hellbent on your destruction, was surprising. Horror-comedies are tricky to pull off tone-wise, but directors and co-writers Rogen and Evan Goldberg get the balance just right. The film is equal parts stoner comedy and apocalyptic horror flick, but also manages to double as a disarmingly earnest examination of
friendship, loyalty, and what it means to be a decent human being. There’s a bit of sly commentary on Hollywood and celebrity mixed in to boot; Goldberg and Rogen aren’t ignorant of the implications behind the idea that when The Rapture occurs, all of Hollywood would be left behind. There’s some actual depth here — not a ton, mind you — but more than you might expect from a movie featuring randy demons sporting enormous erections. They even find the time to spoof some scenes from classic horror films, including a killer “Rosemary’s Baby” reference. The sometimes shoddy effects only add to the charm. My major complaint about the movie is that I wish women played a more significant role in the proceedings; aside from the scene with Emma Watson, the female presence in the film is negligible. That’s always been somewhat of a problem in the Apatow world, which has always focused on male camaraderie over anything else. Personally, I would have loved an appearance by Linda Cardellini or Busy Phillips for a “Freaks and Geeks” reunion, but alas, it wasn’t meant to be. Performances are strong, but that’s expected given that the actors are all playing up exactly what they’re known for, with some significant tweaks here and there. I will say that none are afraid to let themselves be seen in a negative light. Jonah Hill is possibly the real standout, playing himself with an oppressively friendly personality that hides a rather less friendly nature underneath. “This Is the End” can feel a bit selfcongratulatory at times, and some jokes can overstay their welcome. But when the stuff that does work is this hilarious, who cares? Befitting its gloriously weird tone, the film closes with a musical number, and it is nonstop bananas. And really, you can never go wrong when you end with a song.

Meticulous Masterpiece in Medina 604 West Center Street Some forty miles west of Rochester lies one of this region’s most notable canal towns, the Village of Medina. Founded in 1834 after the completion of the Erie Canal, Medina quickly became an agricultural and industrial hub in the lands west of Rochester. The resulting residential architecture is replete with high style Victorian-era homes that compete with the best that Corn Hill and East Avenue have to offer. One such example of this grandeur is the striking Second Empire style home built by the owner of a local grist mill, Albert Berry, in 1880. When building the home for his wife and two children, Berry spared no expense creating an elegantly spacious home filled with natural light that continues to delight the current owners to this day. Walking up the front walk from Center Street, you are greeted with a grand exterior of Medina sandstone and brick. From the wide front porch with its ornate tin ceiling to the two story bay window, from the cupola to the numerous archtopped windows, not much has been altered since 1880. Every element of the exterior has been cared for by dedicated stewards throughout the years. Entering the home from the tiled vestibule, you are surrounded by a nearly complete 19th century interior. The foyer with its quartersawn oak floors, grand spiraling staircase, and original light fixtures leads through two sets of doors to the front parlor or the original dining room. The front parlor impresses with high ceilings, hand-grained doors,
original unpainted woodwork, and elaborate mahogany inlaid floor—all of which are recurring themes throughout the first floor. Through arched pocket doors, the lightfilled living room elaborates further on the established theme with a grand bay window and original carved slate fireplace mantel with spectacular hand marbling. From the living room one can either enter the original dining room complete with a built-in china cabinet, arched marble fireplace, wash basin, and servant’s pass-through, or enter through to the kitchen. The kitchen is well executed in solid cherry cabinetry and provides access to the side porch and port-cochere, rear servant’s stair, and to an attached two-car garage. The second floor provides four equally grand bedrooms, with more gleaming hardwoods and natural woodwork, in addition to access to the large attic space and staircase into the cupola. Also not to be missed is the equally impressive original barn, complete with spectacular wood joinery, animal stalls, and hay loft. This breathtaking 3,318 square foot Second Empire showpiece, priced at $259,900 with its impeccable details and grand scale, is a rare unadulterated gem awaiting its next caring stewards. For more information contact realtor David Snell at (585)590-0280. by Christopher Brandt Christopher is a Landmark Society volunteer and an ardent promoter of Rochester and its environs.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD Orestes De La Paz’s exhibit at the Frost Art Museum in Miami in May recalled Chuck Palahniuk’s novel and film “Fight Club,” in which lead character Tyler Durden’s principal income source was making upscale soap using discarded liposuctioned fat fetched from the garbage of cosmetic surgeons (thus closing the loop of fat from rich ladies recycled back to rich ladies). De La Paz told his mentor at Florida International University that he wanted only to display his own liposuctioned fat provocatively, but decided to make soap when he realized that the fat would otherwise quickly rot. Some visitors to the exhibit were able to wash their hands with the engineered soap, which De La Paz offered for sale at $1,000 a bar.
The Entrepreneurial Spirit
— As recently as mid-May, people with disabilities had been earning hefty black-market fees by taking strangers into Disneyland and Disney World using the parks’ own liberal “disability” passes (which allow for up to five relatives or guests at a time to accompany the disabled person in skipping the sometimeshours-long lines and having immediate access to the rides). The pass-holding “guide,” according to NBC’s “Today” show, could charge as much as $200 through advertising on CraigsList and via word-of-mouth to some travel agents. Following reports in the New York Post and other outlets, Disney was said in late May to be warning disabled permit-holders not to abuse the privilege. — After setting out to create a protective garment for mixed martial arts fighters, Jeremiah Raber of High Ridge, Mo., realized that his “groin protection device” could also help police, athletes and military contractors. Armored Nutshellz
underwear, now selling for $125 each, has multiple layers of Kevlar plus another fabric called Dyneema, which Raber said can “resist” multiple shots from 9 mm and .22-caliber handguns. He said the Army will be testing Nutshellz in August, hoping it can reduce the number of servicemen who come home with devastating groin injuries. — “Ambulance-chasing” lawyers are less the cliche than they formerly were because of bar association crackdowns, but fire truck-chasing contractors and “public adjusters” are still a problem -- at least in Florida, where the state Supreme Court tossed out a “48-hour” time- out rule that would have given casualty victims space to reflect on their losses before being overwhelmed by home-restoration salesmen. Consequently, as firefighters told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel in May, the contractors are usually “right behind” them on the scene, pestering anxious or grief-stricken victims. The Sun-Sentinel found one woman being begged to sign up while she was still crying out for her dog that remained trapped in the blaze.
Least Competent Criminals
Three men committed home invasion of a Houston residence on May 14 and, although two escaped, one wound up in the hospital and under arrest. The three men kicked in a door and shut the resident in an upstairs closet while they ransacked the home, but they failed to inspect the closet first and thus did not realize that it was the resident’s handgun-storage closet. A few minutes later, the resident emerged, locked and loaded, and wounded one of the men in the shoulder and leg.

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t let a past relationship play mind games on you. Get out and have fun, experience people who come from different backgrounds and, most of all, be open to try new activities. Time is on your side, and love will find you when you least expect it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): While traveling or using an online dating site, love will develop with someone in a unique manner and in an unlikely place. The more diverse you are, the better your chance will be to meet a partner who grabs your attention and captivates your heart. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Reuniting with an old flame will
have its pros and cons. Look for positive change so you don’t repeat a mistake you have made in the past. Better still, opt for someone new who you meet attending a work-related event or while participating in a creative activity. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Put your best foot forward and get out and socialize. Love is looking for you, but it won’t find you if you are sitting at home. Attend an event or get involved in an activity that allows you to show off your skills. A serious connection is apparent. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll attract plenty of attention due to your outgoing personality and
desire to try new things, but tread carefully: Flirting with too many potential partners will lead to possessive and jealous acts that you don’t want to deal with. Pick someone with as much charisma as you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Keep an emotional distance from colleague showing a personal interest in you. A relationship with someone you work with will complicate your life. Focus more on those you meet while volunteering your time or services to a cause you believe in or a group that interests you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You need a change of scenery and friends. Trying something new
or participating in a personal challenge that will get you involved in a unique community will lead to an interesting, enticing connection with someone quite unusual. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A serious approach to relationships, love and the personal goals you have will bring someone who can match you creatively, socially, emotionally and physically. Moving quickly may be tempting, but to savor the moment and draw out the courtship will make you that much more enticing. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be attracted to someone off-limits. Before
you jump in and take part in a long-distance relationship or start seeing someone who isn’t free and clear of a past partnership, consider the consequences and your true motives. The chase will be exhilarating; the catch won’t. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Good fortune will come with a stable relationship. Look for the partner who fits your lifestyle, and you will find someone with whom you can build a happy future. Love is in the stars, and a commitment will give you the push you need to reach your goals. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Indulge in social activities,
networking events and anything that will take you to a location you’ve never been before. It’s the new and unknown that will position you for a romantic opportunity with someone looking for an innovative, experimental partner like you. Live in the moment. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Traveling, taking courses or participating in something that looks like fun will lead to meeting someone who captures your heart. Before you jump in and move fast, find out more about this perfect person. What you see and what you get might not be the same.
