I have become disenchanted with the articles by City regarding the state of the Rochester school system. True, it is a sad situation. My issue with the approach to the problem is that there is one glaring area that isn’t being addressed. Fingers are constantly being pointed at the superintendent, Rochester Teachers Association, principals, teachers, etc. Did anyone ever consider saying that the problem is in the homes? When students start kindergarten, it should be assumed that they have learned some basic rules from their parents. It has to be the duty of these parents to ensure that their children are equipped with some fundamental skills. The duties of the educators are to teach science, arts, history, math, etc. It should not be their responsibility to substitute as parents. I suggest that the 18 year olds who are parents become more engaged and be held responsible for their children. This pattern has not and will not change unless parents own up to their obligation to raise their children and bring them up to speed so that they are ready to take on the long education process. Hopefully it might eventually enhance the quality of life. GERALD PIERCE
Red-light regrets We all agree that the problem of urban poverty is multifaceted. Getting rid of red-light cameras would be a
drop in-the-bucket as far as poverty solutions. However, you have to ask whether the red-light camera program is more of a liability to improving police/community relations than it is a public safety benefit. To me, this seems more like harassment, especially when poor people are unable to pay multiple tickets. Loss of transportation and loss of a job isn’t the direction of progress. Funding a police department on the backs of poor people is shameful. MIKE BRUTON
The city says the red-light cameras are for safety, yet they stepped up the collection of fines by booting cars and adding penalties. If they want to increase safety, maybe they should consider speed cameras. Are there any red light cameras in Monroe County other than in the City of Rochester? I find it hard to believe that the only unsafe intersections (which require cameras) are within the city limits. BART
Better use for state dollars
City reported recently that, for financial reasons, the Central Library downtown is cutting Sunday hours.
Sunday hours for the library run $104,000 per year. So the Rochester Anti-Poverty Task Force that recently took in $500k in state taxpayer money (with more to come) could essentially fund nearly five years of Sunday operation for the Central Library. What’s a better value for taxpayers, five years of Sunday operation for the library or a 150-person poverty task force staffed by the head of every major nonprofit in Rochester angling for more public taxpayer money (above and beyond the usual donations) to keep their organizations viable, with no evidence whatsoever that any of them collectively have actually done anything to reduce poverty?

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
The Charleston shootings and the state of the nation Nine African Americans, gathered together for Bible study at their church in Charleston, South Carolina, are dead, thanks to the rage of a young white racist. And a symbol of the racism he harbored, the Confederate flag, remains at full-staff on the grounds of the state capitol. It’s tempting to point to that flag, flying throughout the days of mourning in Charleston, as yet another example of Southern racism. But the flag and its flaunting symbolize much more than the bigotry that exploded from the gun in Emanuel AME Church. They’re a symbol of more than the racism that led to the destruction of a previous Emanuel AME Church building 133 years ago, retribution for a church leader’s militancy. They symbolize more than the racism that killed four little girls in a church in Birmingham 52 years ago. More than the racism that killed Martin Luther King Jr. in Memphis 47 years ago. They’re a symbol of the racism that thrives everywhere in this country right now, some of it openly violent, some of it confined to swagger and smirking among friends and co-workers, some of it acted out in discrimination in hiring, in education, in housing. They’re a symbol of the racism of a busload of young white fraternity members in Oklahoma singing out their supremacy. Of Rochester-area students taunting black high-school athletes. Of a town supervisor joking about “city cousins.” Of suburban residents protesting proposals to let black students from the city attend their schools. Of police officers reading more into the body language of an African-American male than that of a white male. Of politicians searching for ways to limit African-American voter turnout. Racism has many forms, but none of it is harmless. And that it is so prevalent today – 150 years after the end of the Civil War, 67 years after President Truman ordered the desegregation of US armed forces, 61 years after Brown v. Board of Education, 51 years after the passage of the Civil Rights Act – is proof of how deeply it is embedded in American culture. And how hard it is to eradicate. Equally hard, of course, is dealing with the tools used so often to act out that racism.
Not only does this country, through its laws, its political leaders, and its media, permit such events, it encourages them.”
“I’ve had to make statements like this too many times,” President Obama said the day after the shootings in Charleston. “Communities like this have had to endure tragedies like this too many times.” “We don’t have all the facts,” Obama said, “but we do know that once again, innocent people were killed in part because someone who wanted to inflict harm had no trouble getting their hands on a gun.” Each occurrence of gun violence is a tragedy, and those like the Emanuel AME Church violence come with the additional challenge of racial hatred. They leave us grieving not only for the victims and their families and friends but also for America. Not only does this country, through its laws, its political leaders, and its media, permit such events, it encourages them. In these early days after events like the Charleston killings, there is outrage. But it won’t last long. After so many of these tragedies, we become numbed into resignation. “At some point,” Obama said in his address, “we as a country will have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries. It doesn’t happen in other places with this kind of frequency. And it is in our power to do something about it.” But we won’t.

PUBLIC SERVICE | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
A zero-waste world Khoury Humphrey has a philosophy: to ignore a problem is to condone it. This viewpoint led him to begin thinking of ways to feed the homeless and poor in the City of Rochester, and to eventually form Flower City Pickers — an idea he came up with while recovering from an illness earlier this year. Humphrey, 27, coordinates volunteers to pick up unwanted produce and food products from the Public Market every Saturday and to find uses for it. Whatever is collected — which can be anything from potatoes to barbeque sauce to cookies — is sorted into piles and what is still edible is distributed to
local shelters, food pantries, and church organizations, Humphrey says. The group collects a significant amount of food. About two weeks ago, the Pickers collected roughly 4,000 pounds, Humphrey says. It’s not the prettiest stuff, he says, but someone probably has a use for it.
A vendor may not be able to sell a pepper after it has fallen on the ground and busted open, he says, but rinse it off, cut it up, and it’s useable. Food that is no longer suitable for people to eat is still not wasted, he says. It’s donated to farmers who raise animals, such as pigs and chickens, for food, or it’s composted, Humphrey says. The biggest challenge for Humphrey and the Pickers isn’t finding food, he says. The market’s vendors are extremely supportive, he says, and glad the food isn’t being wasted. The hard part, he says, is finding volunteers to help collect on Saturdays between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Interested people can e-mail him: khoury.humphrey@gmail.com.
Rochester School District officials and RTS have worked out an agreement for busing students to summer school this year, but some board members said the current situation points to much bigger problems with the district’s transportation policy.
EDUCATION | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
RCSD’s busing morass Busing city students has been a source of controversy for several years and for multiple reasons. Many parents and school officials want the school district to bus their children to school rather than having them walk, citing neighborhood safety concerns and the need to increase attendance. But the cost of transporting city students has mushroomed to more than $60 million annually, and student fighting downtown and at the new transit center have become major problems. The busing issue has now become even more complicated and expensive. School re-opens on September 2 – just over two months from now – and there is still no solid agreement for transporting students after this summer. Superintendent Bolgen Vargas wants the board to approve a proposal from the Regional Transit Service that would blow an $11.4 million hole in the district’s budget for the 2015-2016 school year. This comes just weeks after that budget was approved. At the school board’s meeting last week, board members postponed voting on a contract for the coming school year between RTS and the district. Under the terms of that contract, RTS would bus nearly 2,000 fewer students and use about 40 fewer buses. And the number of students transferring at the transit center would drop to about 700, from 3,700.
But the price for the RTS service would increase by $7.6 million, according to Vargas. And other transportation providers, primarily First Student, would bus the students not being served by RTS, costing The Rochester Transit Center. PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLIN an additional $3.8 million. At last week’s meeting, Vargas pleaded with “The people here are going to have to 2016.

A mixed blessing of technology: police officers can now fill out domestic violence reports on computers in their cars. But they can’t print copies on-site, so domestic violence victims have to go to the Public Safety Building to request them. FILE PHOTO PUBLIC SAFETY | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN
Calls for better access to police reports Victims of domestic violence have to deal with fear, emotional harm, and often, physical harm. And if they want a copy of the police report dealing with their case, they have one more hurdle to overcome: they must make a trip downtown to the Public Safety Building.

It can be a hardship for people who are often poor and-or lack reliable transportation or child care, say victims’ advocates and City Council member Carla Palumbo. It also makes it less likely that the victims will follow-through on legal action against their abusers, they say. Domestic violence victims used to get a copy of their report right at the scene, Palumbo says, but somewhere along the line, that changed. It may be because police officers now have computers in their cars, she says. Officers can fill out the report on the computer, she says, but they can’t print it. “Before, they used to hand-write them and hand you a copy,” says Palumbo, who is also CEO of the nonprofit Legal Aid Society. Now, victims are given information at the scene about how to get their report. They have to go to the Public Safety Building on Exchange Boulevard and present proper identification and their report number to get their documentation. (For victims, there is no charge for the report, says James Smith, the city’s director of communications.) A small number of the reports require redaction of certain information, Smith says, in which case the victim would have to file a
FOIL request with the city. The city can also arrange for victims’ attorneys to get crime reports from the police department without filing a FOIL request, he says. The process is user-friendly, Smith says, and shouldn’t present an undue hardship for victims of domestic violence. And Rochester police spokesperson Jacqueline Shuman says that she’s not aware of any complaints about the system. But Palumbo and victims’ advocates say that making people go to the Public Safety Building to get their report is an extra step in a process that’s difficult to begin with. For myriad reasons, domestic violence victims often don’t follow through on legal action against their abusers. Nationally, only about 38 percent of domestic-violence victims get an order of protection against their abusers. Making the process more difficult just makes follow-through even less likely, Palumbo says. If the victims don’t get a report at the scene, advocates say, chances are they’ll never get one at all. “Any victim of crime has been traumatized by that crime,” Palumbo says. “They shouldn’t have to take extra steps to get the documents they need. It just seems to me there ought to be an easier way to get people their police reports.”
She suggests e-mail, fax, or making the reports available online — if it’s been established that those methods are safe for the individual victims. Victims of domestic violence may also be poor or lack transportation or child care, Palumbo says, which turns what seems like a simple trip downtown into a hardship. And issuing the report right at the scene means that victims can correct any errors immediately, she says. Documentation is important in domesticviolence cases, Palumbo says, because it builds a record. And having more information available to the judge strengthens victims’ requests for an order of protection, she says. The report is not required to get an order, but it can verify the details of a victim’s story, says Jennifer Sullivan, court advocacy program coordinator for Willow, formerly Alternatives for Battered Women. The report preserves the details of the incident, she says, which may be difficult for a traumatized crime victim to recall correctly. At least some Monroe County towns with police departments make a version of the police report available on the scene, advocates say. In the Town of Gates, for example, victims usually get something at the scene, and the final report is available at the Gates Police Department. John Helfer, spokesperson for the Monroe County Sheriff’s Department, says that victims typically have to pick up the report in person.
Charleston continues from page 3
Newtown, Connecticut, wasn’t enough to get action, the killing of a group of African-American churchgoers isn’t going to do it. Not in this country. On his show the night after the Charleston shootings, a frustrated Jon Stewart dispensed with jokes. “I honestly have nothing other than sadness once again,” he said, “that we have to peer into the abyss of the depraved violence that we do to each other in the nexus of a just gaping racial wound that will not heal yet we pretend doesn’t exist.” And Stewart said he was “confident… that by acknowledging it, by staring into that and seeing it for what it is, we still won’t do jack shit. Yeah. That’s us.” The Charleston tragedy, the New York Times editorial board wrote on Friday, “leaves the nation at an all too familiar juncture – uncertain whether to do something positive to repair society’s vulnerabilities or to once again absorb an intolerable wound by going through what has become a woeful ritual of deep grief followed by shallow resolve to move on toward… what? Toward the inevitable carnage next time.” The Times writers didn’t mask their anguish and their fury. The accessibility of guns and the “odious racism that haunts society’s darkest corners,” they wrote, are combining with “the public’s general sense of impotence, as needed solutions are left up to a political system undermined by retrograde and timorous officials more interested in their own survival than in the broader welfare.” Is it possible to change that? One of the nine victims last week apparently had faith that it is. The extensive coverage by our sister alt-weekly in Charleston, City Paper, included this report: Just a few weeks ago, the Rev. Clementa Pinkney – Emanuel’s pastor and one of the nine victims of the church shooting – had helped lead a “Requiem for Racism” after the death of Walter Scott, an unarmed 50-yearold black man shot by a police officer in nearby North Charleston. Pinkney said he hoped the event would “help each of us to look deeply into our own hearts and minds and inspire us to root out any forms of violence and bigotry in our own lives.” Maybe Pinkney’s own death will inspire some of that rooting out. I’d like to have faith that it will. But at the moment, I’m more inclined to Jon Stewart’s assessment. We still won’t do jack shit.

NEW-SCHOOL FUEL ENVIRONMENT | BY JEREMY MOULE PHOTOS BY MARK CHAMBERLIN
O
n large dairy farms with lots of cattle, manure management is no minor task. Farmers have to be deliberate about how they store it, and mindful of the environmental impact of mountains of manure. And then there’s the odor. Some of the traditional ways that farmers have stored manure — in holding pits called lagoons, for example — are understandably unpopular with neighbors. Odor control is one reason that Noblehurst Farms — a dairy farm in York, Livingston County — installed an anaerobic digester in 2001, says Chris Noble, the farm’s vice president. The system functions like a big stomach, and uses an oxygen-deprived environment to break down manure and other organic matter into a considerably less pungent material called digestate. But the digester has another big benefit: it produces a combustible mix of methane and carbon dioxide that the farm uses to fuel a combined heat-and-power system. Noblehurst upgraded its digester last year, and the farm is now able to generate more electricity than it can use, Noble says. The system is connected to the power grid, 8 CITY
JUNE 24-30, 2015
and the local utility, National Grid, credits the farm for excess electricity. The farm should fully recoup its $3.5 million investment, Noble says, which was partially offset by state and federal grants. “We can reduce the cost of producing milk by essentially producing our own electricity with our own manure,” he says. Anaerobic digestion is an old technology for breaking down and managing organic waste, and has traditionally been the domain of large farms like Noblehurst and municipal waste water treatment plants. But the idea that the digesters can also be a source of renewable energy is newer, and it’s starting to catch on beyond the farm. In 2012, the F.X. Matt Brewery in Utica, which is probably best known for its Saranac beer, built an anaerobic digester system at its facilities. The system breaks down brewing residue and uses the resulting biogas to generate electricity for the brewery. And Genesee Biogas has proposed an anaerobic digester and generator system for the Genesee Valley Agri-Business Park in Batavia. The system would run on yogurt production waste water from the Alpina and Müller Quaker Dairy yogurt plants — both
Wegmans has been piloting a food waste diversion program at a dozen stores.
companies currently pay to have the waste treated off-site. But farms have also identified larger opportunities for the digester systems. Some of them, including Noblehurst, have started taking in organic waste from nearby food processors and grocery stores, as well as other farms. They’ve found that food scraps in particular can boost the production of biogas in the digesters, which means more low-cost energy for the farms.
Government agencies, including the US Department of Agriculture and the New York State Energy and Research Development Authority, encourage the use of digesters and offer financial incentives to support them. Some environmental groups also view them favorably and place anaerobic digesters right alongside composting as a preferred way to deal with inedible food wastes. Other environmentalists are skeptical, however, and question whether large-scale
community composting projects might do more to reduce emissions from food waste, and at a lower cost. Each year, America collectively tosses
approximately 40 million tons of food waste into the trash. Much of that organic matter ends up in landfills, where it decomposes and generates methane. Methane pollution is a serious issue because of the gas’s contribution to human-influenced climate change. And domestically, landfills are the third-largest source of methane emissions, ranking behind the gas and oil industry and farm animals. Enter Wegmans. The company has a hierarchy for edible food, which stresses selling it, using it in prepared foods, or donating it. It’s the inedible food scraps from its growing prepared-food operations — rinds, stalks, and other trimmings — that have posed the greatest challenge. But for the last 18 months, 11 stores in the Rochester region and one Buffalo store have been piloting a program to divert inedible food scraps from landfills. Employees fill up designated bins with inedible food waste and wheel them outside of the store. The contents are picked up several times a week and taken to digesters at either Noblehurst or Lawnhurst Farms in Stanley, east of Canandaigua. “On the lower side, it’s two-and-a-half to three tons a week — that’d be a smallervolume store,” says Jason Wadsworth, Wegmans’ sustainability manager. “The largest volume store is upward of seven tons a week.” By the end of next year, Wegmans expects to add another 20 stores in the Rochester, Buffalo, and Syracuse areas to the diversion program, Wadsworth says. The stores will send their scraps to either digesters or composting facilities, he says. continues on page 38
STEP 1 Wegmans employees fill up designated bins with inedible food waste and wheel them outside of the store. Wegmans pays a company, Natural Upcycling, to haul away the waste to the anaerobic digestor. But it doesn’t cost the grocer any more than it would to send the discards to a landfill.
STEP 2 The anaerobic digestor takes in 40,000 gallons of cow manure and the waste from Wegmans. In addition to the Wegmans scraps, the farm brings in waste water from a neighboring milk-processing plant and some other nearby processors.
STEP 3
This process converts methane into electricity and heat. he process also creates another product: a nutrient-rich goop known as digestate. Farmers can better control how they apply it to their fields, which means a reduction in the amount of nutrients — including problematic phosphorous and nitrogen — running off into waterways during heavy rains. rochestercitynewspaper.com

Dining we crumble the bread over the cheese and eat it like a soup, the way his family does at home. It was a good suggestion, and let us taste every flavor and texture in each bite.

At the chef ’s table The Kitchen 5 SOUTH MAIN STREET, PITTSFORD ONE SEATING PER NIGHT WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, 7:30 P.M. TO 9:30 P.M. CIPOLLAROMAINE.COM [ REVIEW ] BY LAURA REBECCA KENYON
Since December, Pittsford restaurant The Kitchen has offered a unique culinary experience: intimate, chef’s table dining. Overseen by Executive Chef Joseph Cipolla, The Kitchen turns out modern American cuisine through a seven-course tasting menu. This alone would make The Kitchen a stand out in Rochester. That Cipolla and his team are able to do so while executing an immersive sensory experience makes The Kitchen an attractive destination for those with a passion for fine dining. Cipolla, a Rochester native, got into the local restaurant game in his teens. He studied haute cuisine at New York City’s French Culinary Institute (now the International
Culinary Center) with Jacques Pepin and Andre Soltner. After working in notable New York restaurants, he returned to Rochester and, in 2011, opened Scratch Open Kitchen, a food cart and catering company. Later, he co-owned and operated the beloved vegetarian and vegan cart and café Lettuce B. Frank, as well as the barbeque spot at Three Brothers Estate Winery, Smokin’ Bagg Dare, with David Romaine. Today, Cipolla focuses on The Kitchen and Cipolla Romaine Custom Catering; both are run with his business partner Greg Kacprzynski. The Kitchen strikes me as an intimate expression of Cipolla’s take on food and dining. He walks diners through each meticulously plated course, explaining each dish, how to eat it, and at times, what inspired the item. While the majority of prep is done in the kitchen — Cipolla says it “takes as much as 14 man hours … to prepare each two-hour service” — he finishes each plate in the dining room just before serving. His cuisine may be haute, but the attitude is courteous and attentive: Cipolla encourages
guests to ask questions throughout the evening and, after dessert, he visits each table, thanking diners for sharing the experience with him. During my visit* in late May, the first course Cipolla and his team served was a paper-thin strip of carpaccio. Made with grass-fed beef, it glistened with a touch of olive oil, and was set off with micro-arugula greens and asiago cheese. The beef tasted clean and rich, disappearing quickly into our eager mouths. Next, was a warm spring salad, made with of-the-season ramps and asparagus and topped with a soft poached egg. The runny yoke blended with the salad’s morel mushroom cream, making it richer and silkier — a lovely foil to the freshness of the vegetables. For the third course, we were presented with a couture take on Caprese salad. Two small globes of house-made burrata cheese were placed in a small, deep bowl and served with thin, crisp slices of bread, a cherry tomato concasse, and basil. Cipolla suggested
After a palate cleanser of bright and herbal orange tarragon sorbet, we headed into the two final savory dishes of the evening. First: tender and sweet medallions of lobster, perched on a bed of mascarpone and pea risotto. Their lushness was cut through with a sorrel sauce’s pungency. Next: duck prepared three ways — a roasted breast, a foie gras and a confit — served with creamed Swiss chard and cracked faro. Again, the flavors balanced one another; if there was a fault with this dish it is that it was difficult to distinguish the different preparations of duck. For the final course, we were served a cashew and chocolate bread pudding with a cayenne pepper chocolate sauce and vanilla bean gelato. It was fine, but unfortunately it lacked the complexity and interest of the other courses. To pull off a luxurious evening, The Kitchen operates a bit differently from other restaurants. There is only one seating per night and the restaurant is only open Wednesday through Saturday. The dining room is small and intimate, serving only 18 (increasing to 24 in the near future). Guests are asked to arrive by 7:20 p.m., so there is time to settle in and enjoy a beverage before service starts at 7:30 p.m. sharp. The menu rotates every six weeks. Diners are encouraged to bring their own beer or wine, and can contact the restaurant in advance of their reservation for suggested wine pairings. Given The Kitchen’s hands-on approach to fine dining — the quality of its ingredients, number of its courses, and excellence in its preparation and service — it’s not surprising that the cost is $90 per person (sans gratuity, alcohol, or beverages). My dinner for two approached $300, including tip, beverages, and the wine pairings that I purchased at Century Liquor & Wines. It’s not an expense I can afford regularly, but it is well worth it as special treat. *Given the cost of dining at The Kitchen, readers may view it as a special occasion destination. As such this review is based on a single visit.

FRIDAY, JUNE 26 LOVIN’ CUP, 300 PARK POINT DRIVE 8 P.M. | FREE | LOVINCUP.COM; HUGHCORNWELL.COM [ PUNK ] The man who Rolling Stone once referred
to as “UK punk’s dark lord” pretty much solidified the melodic musical chasm between punk and new wave with his band The Stranglers (1974-1990). Cornwell’s tune “Peaches” is one of the all-time coolest in the whole punk, post-punk lexicon. His latest album is the Steve Albini produced “Totem and Taboo.” I caught Cornwell at his show here last year and must say, if anything, this legend has gotten better with age. Pink Elephant and The Dirty Pennies will also perform. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

On his fresh new CD, “New For You,” Rochester rocker Herb Heins offers up an interesting juxtaposition with his guitar’s non-stop rhythmic cabaret as it chops, bops, bucks, and careens beneath his strident singing style. That’s not to say that his lyrics aren’t borne of a spirited delivery, rather, it just seems that Heins doesn’t feel the need to push or force feed. And he doesn’t have to. They’ll sink into all souls present one way or another and in due time. It’s this casual confidence that reigns throughout this release. Though pared up with an acoustic guitar, Heins is perhaps better known as an electric player. The intensity found in all of the album’s 13 tracks indicates an electricity crackling beneath; an electricity that needs no plug to be felt; an electricity that thankfully helps separate Heins from the dour moan frequently found in the singersongwriter set. Listen and you’ll feel it, too. It’s new for you, after all. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Lemoncello, 137 West Commercial St. East Rochester. 385-8565. lemoncello137. com. 6:30-9:30 p.m.
“Signal in the Static” Self-released thecrawdiddies.com
The Crawdiddies is the type of band that transcends the limits of a descriptive chronology. Bluegrass, fiddle music, acoustic blues all get the vintage tag, which isn’t entirely inaccurate. But how can you refer to it exclusively as a vintage strain? Hearts still get broken in the 21st century, don’t they? People still wanna take a respite from the weight of this mortal coil and dance, don’t they? And The Crawdiddies is the band for the job. Heather Taylor’s tremulous contralto will arrest you as the band floats between its swift major and minor cadence with ease. The unique aspect that really grabs me is percussionist Washboard Dave as his fingers nimbly thimble over his abbreviated collection of pots and pans. All 12 cuts on this album are timeless singalongs — like “Peppermint Tea” — and really provide a contemporary lilt for fans out there that don’t know they’re fans yet. Signal in the Static should adequately right that wrong quick-like. Here’s their chance. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

FOLK | DAVID CROSBY
A legend, a visionary, an iconoclast — David Crosby is so many things to his fans. The California-born singer-songwriter logged time in coffeehouses prior to coming up with The Byrds and later co-founding Crosby, Stills & Nash. Both of those bands pioneered a West Coast approach that blasted David Crosby into the AM-FM stratosphere. At 73 years old, Crosby is a two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, inducted with The Byrds and CSN, who still lets his freak flag fly. This is a solo acoustic show that features repertoire spanning Crosby’s entire career including new songs from his latest album, “Croz.” David Crosby performs on Saturday, June 27, at Smith Opera House, 82 Seneca Street, Geneva. $47-$57. thesmith. org; davidcrosby.com. — BY ROMAN DIVEZUR The Swooners.

One flew over suburbia “Next to Normal” REVIEWED FRIDAY, JUNE 19 CONTINUES FRIDAY, JUNE 26, AND SATURDAY, JUNE 27 NTID PANARA THEATRE, RIT CAMPUS 8 P.M. | $23-$25 | PITTSFORDMUSICALS.ORG [ REVIEW ] BY LEAH STACY
In 2010, “Next to Normal” became the eighth musical in history to receive the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. A Pulitzer for a rock musical, no less, a genre typically reserved for “American Idol” rejects and revues featuring the greatest hits of now-elderly musicians. But “Next to Normal,” which Pittsford Musicals opened last Friday, has achieved something far more important than ticket sales: it’s contributed to increased awareness and education about mental illness. Because of the subject matter, “Next to Normal” is not an easy show to watch. For anyone who has been affected by mental illness, there will be reminders of that pain throughout the story — a verklempt ride underscored by guitar riffs, sarcastic quips and occasional light humor. Yet somehow a rock musical about mental illness is just the spoonful of sugar needed for audiences to digest a socially stigmatic issue that’s often hidden away and associated with shame. “Next to Normal” — featuring music by Tom Kitt and book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey — follows a suburban family dealing 16 CITY JUNE 24-30, 2015
with the effects of mental illness as the mother, Diana, suffers from a crippling bipolar disorder. Themes of loss, drug abuse, psychiatric ethics and treatments, and love are all touched upon in ways that resonate powerfully with audiences (when “Next to Normal” played at Geva Theatre Center in early 2013, it sold out so many shows that the run was extended). There isn’t much more that can be said about the plot without the risk of spoilers, so simply watch closely for pivotal moments and clues. “Next to Normal” takes only one moment to keep the action hurtling forward — on Friday, the biggest plot twist created a ripple of gasps and murmurs through the audience. With a six-member cast, “Next to Normal” is meant to be an ensemble show. Each character has their time to shine, due in part to an equally distributed, gripping score and narrative lyrics. The stunningly talented Emily Putnam, who local audiences may remember from Kate Royal’s recent play “Mammoth” at MuCCC, portrays Diana. Putnam is a young woman playing a character twice her age, but she’s absolutely riveting as a mother, wife, and mentally ill patient. Her vocal (and character) ranges make her a dream in this role, though her voice is stronger on the lyrical ballads than the rock riffs. Putnam is matched perfectly by Sydney Howard, who plays Natalie, the daughter. Howard is a force onstage, capturing both the hope and helplessness her character grapples
production is remarkable, which reflects well on artistic director Lindsay Warren Baker. (It should be no surprise coming from Baker — a show she penned, “Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, A Musical,” was an audience favorite at the 2014 New York Musical Theatre Festival and premiered in La Mirada, California, this past April.) Emotions are raw and real for the entire two-hour run. The costume design by Tanya Komorowski is a subtle delight. Komorowski has the challenge of making contemporary clothing interesting, and she succeeds by creating an underlying layer of metaphor through colors. Each costume seems to take on an identity, creating a subplot for the already complex storyline. Lighting designer Chris McCormack accentuates the plot with color as well, dowsing the screen behind the set in bright reds and soft violets. The set, a shell of a suburban house that suggests upper middle class status, creates a visual for the emotional separation of the characters. Dave Fisher’s beautiful minimalist design also allows for Baker to implement wellcalculated staging and gives the audience something to focus on when choreography is understated during musical numbers. It also cloaks — but doesn’t hide — the phenomenal six-person band onstage, conducted by music director Julie Covach. There were a few songs, mostly the rock numbers, where it was difficult to hear the vocalists clearly over the guitars and drums — but overall, the message of “Next to Normal” leaves a larger impression than technical difficulties ever could. Pittsford Musicals could have chosen any other show: something happier, something with a bigger cast, something with universal name recognition that would sell tickets. The fact that they chose “Next to Normal” is a big deal, and one that deserves attention. If community theatre exists to bring art to the masses, why should it not also bring thought-provoking, vital messages? Sounds a lot like the goal of good art.

ART | “CUBES”
If you were out and about in the East End for the Jazz Festival this past weekend, it’s likely that you spotted a stack of cubes delineated by the surging and darkening LED lights along their frames. The installation, “Cubes,” is an interactive light sculpture by Alexander Green. Using technology developed by Green and Symmetry Labs, a San Francisco-based technology and design company founded by Green and Trip Vest, the work uses light as a visualization for accompanying music. Rochester Contemporary Art Center (137 East Avenue) will host this outdoor installation through Monday, June 29. A second and final performance will take place that night between 7 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., with music from Herb Smith & The Freedom Trio. A discussion and reception inside RoCo will follow the performance (only 90 tickets are available at $20).

Variations on a dream “Related” SCULPTURE BY DEJAN PEJOVIC AND PAINTINGS BY LANNA PEJOVIC THROUGH JULY 18 OCK HEE’S GALLERY, 2 LEHIGH STREET, HONEOYE FALLS MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, 11 A.M. TO 5 P.M. OCKHEESGALLERY.COM [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
When siblings and artists Lanna and Dejan Pejovic began creating their recent work, currently showcased at Ock Hee’s Gallery in Honeoye Falls, they had no idea how complementary their paintings and sculptures would be. Both work with concepts of architectural forms in nature and sacred spaces and with the emotional qualities explored in both, pointing out a potential seamlessness between the hand of nature and that of man. “Dejan’s and my themes happen to be uncannily similar,” says the elder sibling, Lanna. Her oil paintings of arching tree tunnels as dim and cool sanctuaries perfectly embody the Japanese concept of Shinrinyoku, or “forest bathing.” “We did not collaborate in any way and never talked about what we were doing,” she says. Though Lanna says she did occasionally see Dejan’s work in the studio, she says she never consciously thought that she would begin using the arch motif. “Likely on some subconscious level I extracted the simplicity of his sculptural invention and applied it to my landscape 18 CITY JUNE 24-30, 2015
painting problem, which for me was always how to simplify the richness of nature.” The works echo one another in their use of sturdy forms in space — details of foliage drop entirely from Dejan’s architectural trunks, and are only vague, ethereal strokes of color in Lanna’s hinted canopies. Both make beautiful use of negative space, with some pathways so perfectly concentric they resemble ripples in water, while others tunnel away into obscurity. About a year ago, Lanna was walking the Birdsong Trail in Ponds Park. “It was early spring and there were no leaves on the trees, so the structure of the line of trees and the arching branches was completely visible,” she says. “I have walked this path for 22 years now and I have noticed often the similarity to cathedral architecture, but for some reason now my interest led me to want to draw just this structure.” Dejan says Gothic cathedrals are his original inspiration for the architectural direction in his recent work. “What impresses me especially in the Gothic is the seamless harmony of organic and geometric form, of mass and space; of small and vast; or protection and release; of the human and the celestial,” he says. Both siblings had an almost identical exposure to art. When they were young children, their family moved from Serbia — Yugoslavia at the time — to Italy, where they spent two years waiting for paper work to come to the United States. The Pejovics lived in Florence first and then in the countryside not far from the city on a wine producing estate. “Living in Italy was wonderful for us,” Lanna says. Italian became
their second language, and the exposure to a wealth of beautiful art and architecture at their young ages made a lasting impression — both went to Italy again as young adults to study art. The family landed in Rochester in 1957. At that time, friends from Serbia — Svetozar and Ruth Radakovich — lived here. “Svetozaer taught at the School for American Craftsmen and at RIT, and both he and Ruth made innovative jewelry and sculpture and were very involved in the arts in Rochester in the late 50’s,” Lanna says. And their father, who had worked as a commercial artist in Yugoslavia, opened an art gallery in 1964. This gallery, Atelier 164 on South Clinton Avenue, later became Gallery 696 on Park Avenue, and was influential in the local art scene from 1964 to 1978. While both the paintings and sculptures have elements reminiscent of forests, some of Dejan’s pieces have an enclosing, sheltering quality similar to a cave, with vulva-shaped openings. But he sees and imbues a flow between all of those forms and spaces. “What begins as the sheltering womb and cave becomes a place of transcendence,” he says. With a sweeping glance around the gallery space, abstracted trunks morph into soaring and peaked walls, which seem alternately like the ribs of some unknowable beast, or hands steepled in prayer. In one sculpture, this interpretation becomes quite literal — a set of gracefully folded hands rests on one platform, fingers echoing a tunnel of tree trunks or the heart’s cage. Beyond subject matter, the work is alike in its rough-hewn quality as well. Lanna’s paintings have a dense application of paint, likely with the use of a palette knife, the texture rather
perfect for the depiction of bark, while also beautifully capturing the gentle quality of light filtered through foliage. Similarly, Dejan’s terra cotta sculptures are textured like brick, though his working of the material brings out delightfully subtle details in the forms. He has finished some pieces with a dark, metallic-looking oxide wash, which is applied before the second firing much as a glaze might be, and provides a just-so level of contrast that emphasizes gentle undulations and curves. “The few wood pieces in the show are a recent departure — a return to roots, as woodcarving was my first enthusiasm when I was a teen,” Dejan says. With a background in stone and wood carving, his preferred method of sculpting is reductive. He has applied this method to working with clay, a medium for which artists typically use additive sculptural techniques. “Landscape has nearly always been my preferred subject matter, usually more abstract — I like to reinvent my experience of the landscape in a painting,” Lanna says. She mostly works in oil, as in this show, but sometimes includes other media, such as charcoal, acrylic, or encaustic. “I have a lot of stored images of landscapes in my head and my painting process is exploratory and usually involves a lot of revisions until a coherent sense of space and an emotional connection emerges,” Lanna says. “However, with this new series, of which this show is part of, I have a more focused motif in mind at the start so I am not searching for a place as I am for the colors and textures that will convey a meaningful emotional mood and space.”

COMEDY | ED BLAZE
Ed Blaze has quickly made a name for himself in the past few years by opening for acts like Ralphie May, Jim Gaffigan, and Dave Chappelle. With a sharp-witted observational brand of humor — heavily inspired by Richard Pryor and George Carlin — Blaze finds his niche in comparing American life to growing up in a poor Tanzanian village and finding humor in the cultural chasms between the two. Blaze delves into the worlds of relationships, race, politics, and pop culture, all bound together with his unique, fresh perspective. This perspective is captured in Blaze’s 2015 book, “World Peace is Comedy,” which features both Blaze’s standard repertoire, as well as philosophical notions on the healing, unifying nature of comedy. Part of the 65-city Ed Blaze and Friends Tour, Blaze will perform at the RIT Inn and Conference Center (5257 West Henrietta Road), on Saturday, June 27, 8 p.m., with comedians Angela Cobb and Frank Vignola.

he 2015 Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival got off to a running start this weekend — and even Saturday’s rain couldn’t hold back the crowds for long. Rochester’s downtown was packed over the weekend as musicians from around the world shared their craft. Contained here is a recap of the Jazz Festival’s first three days (deadlines would not allow us to include Monday and Tuesday), as we reach a half-way point for the festival. The Jazz Festival continues through Saturday, June 27. Be sure to check online at rochestercitynewspaper.com for our comprehensive Jazz Festival guide and daily-updated blogs with our critics’ thoughts on each night’s acts. And as always, we welcome your input. What did you see during the first half of the Jazz Festival? Leave a comment below our blogs on City’s website. PHOTO BY JOHN SCHLIA

goodbyemotel Though goodbyemotel — a Brooklyn-based quintet comprised mostly of Australians (save for Rochester native, drummer Paul Amorese) — was a bit of a slow burn to which I was initially cool, I warmed up to the band’s effective, though far from revolutionary Britpop-style songs. The linchpin was front man Gustaf Sjodin Enstrom, who brought impressive strength and conviction, and perhaps most importantly, perfect intonation with timely and intuitive rock panache. In his smooth middle range, the tone of voice recalls Tom Chaplin of the piano balladeers Keane, while Enstrom’s electric higher notes are akin to that of Muse’s Matthew Bellamy. Part of my early reluctance had to do with the artistic medium through which 22 CITY JAZZ FESTIVAL REVIEW 2015
goodbyemotel chose to deliver their tunes — what it calls the “4D live music experience”: the stage setup was replete with the typical rock band gear plus a large screen behind the band and a semi-transparent scrim in front, on which were projected video images in 3D. Equipped with the necessary spectacles, audience members experienced what was essentially a long form music video that lasted the first four songs of the set. The prominent visual component brought a fresh twist to the jazz fest experience, and the textured, sophisticated sounds of reverberating keyboards and electric guitars over rolling tom syncopations in the drums provided a supercharged soundtrack. And yet the whole thing felt too contained — almost constricted — and the scrim inadvertently
created a distance between performer and listener. The festivalgoer was rendered a mere passive witness to a spectacle rather than an active participant in it. Rather than being able to dance freely, people were tethered to movie theater seats. In other words, the Little Theatre — despite the seemingly obvious cinematic synergy with the performance — was the wrong venue for goodbyemotel, and too small for the band’s engrossing arena rock sound. A larger, wide open space may have allowed fans to more fully immerse themselves in the multisensory vibe of the concert — especially when you consider how well the music and images jell together.

DIANA KRALL I’ve debated for years whether Diana Krall’s poker face was out of boredom or the fact the chick is pretty damn cool. Krall’s 4 p.m. matinee at Kodak Hall? Boredom. She was rather unfocussed. Now in her defense, the sold-out crowd was a cadaver convention and it’s hard to vibe off a bunch of stiffs. But Krall did not play a theater-level set but rather grabbed the air for tunes as if taking requests at a three-set gin joint engagement.
Songs by Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, and The Eagles mixed as best they could along with the Fats Waller and Nat King Cole we’ve come to expect. Don’t get me wrong, it was by no means a crumby show. Her band was in the pocket — especially the guitarist — and her voice still winds me every time; it just struck me as a bit slapdash. BY FRANK DE BLASE PHOTO BY FRANK DE BLASE
BILL DOBBINS Over at Hatch Hall, Eastman School of Music Professor Bill Dobbins was celebrating the centennial year of the composer Billy Strayhorn. It was a scholarly presentation with lots of footnotes about the tunes, but this scholar has some great piano chops. There was no “Lush Life” here; Dobbins delves much deeper into the more obscure parts of Strayhorn’s oeuvre. It’s a safe bet most members of the audience were hearing tunes 24 CITY JAZZ FESTIVAL REVIEW 2015
like “Boll Weevil Ballet” for the first time. Another great composition, new to me, was “Hearsay,” an evocative movement from his (and Duke Ellington’s) “Deep South Suite.” But there were also songs like “Johnny Come Lately” and “All Day Long,” compositions just as brilliant, but also ripe for Dobbins’ fanciful improvisation.

BENNY GREEN TRIO I had something to compare Joey Alexander’s performance to because I had just come from Kilbourn Hall where pianist Benny Green and his trio played. Green is another dazzling pianist with jaw-dropping technique. He put it to work playing great tunes by Horace Silver, Cedar Walton, and others. My favorite was “He Has Gone,” a beautiful ballad by Oscar Peterson.
Green and his excellent trio (bassist David Wong and drummer Rodney Green) all wore suits and played in a fairly formal manner. But Green really stretches out at the keyboard, sometimes leaning off the bench like a jazz version of Jerry Lee Lewis, and his bunched up suit somehow emphasized that wild side.

HERB ALPERT Who would have known that a few short hours later I’d be singing with Herb Alpert. Alpert and his wife, Lani Hall, and his excellent band created a beautiful night full of reminiscence and song. Alpert wondered aloud where had melody gone before digging in to the melody he has graced the world with for years. At 80, Alpert was limber and spry as he effortlessly sent brassy and classy salvos to the rafters. His tone was baby bottom smooth and jazz cool. He was
reluctant to sing “This Guy’s In Love With You” but relented as long as the audience joined in. What a sweet treat. The show was full of big band swing, jazz standards, pop, and Brazilian jazz-pop. Hall was spot on and equally charming as her trumpet-wielding ball and chain, as she intoned in English and Portuguese. The whole show — and its three encores — was truly a taste of honey.

GRACE KELLY and CHET CATALLO The line to see Grace Kelly’s 5:30 show at the Harro East Ballroom wrapped around the parking lot and down the street. I went inside to see what’s what. Suffice it to say, it wasn’t for me. She was bubbly and fun, and though dressed like a roller derby girl with a sax, Kelly was entirely too smooth for me so I evaporated and headed to the Little Theatre for Chet Catallo. Lately he’s been picking the blues at jams around town, but tonight’s set was boisterous and boppin’ with Catallo leading a stage full of musicians themselves full of precision, groove, and polyrhythm. The dynamics were impressive and hairpin as the band quickly found its legs. BY FRANK DE BLASE PHOTO BY FRANK DE BLASE
THE SPLENDOR The Swedish quartet known as The Splendor (a brilliant moniker) — saxophonist and bass clarinetist Lisen Rylander Löve, bassist Josef Kallerdahl, drummer Lars Källfelt, and pianist Fabian Kallerdahl — creates a mood more than it plays a tune, and explores timbre and textures more than it lays down straightforward grooves. And yet, on Saturday, the band delivered
plenty of beautiful melodies — fluid and vaguely melancholic that kept the music from slipping into the inaccessibly esoteric. The majority of these melodies came via the rich, warm, and soulful tone of Löve’s saxophone, which was able to luxuriate in Fabian Kallerdahl’s dark and elegant chordal vocabulary in the piano. The band’s 9:45 p.m. set focused primarily
on selections from its latest release, the 2014 double album, “Forest.” Highlights included “The Riddle,” a slowly unfolding song that began with crystalline, harp-like twinkling from Löve’s synthesizer, before she eventually accompanied herself with a gorgeous Björklike vocalise. Löve is clearly the soul of the band, but Josef Kallerdahl is the spine, softly and insistently
Classic Tracks Current Grooves Future Legends
providing the music with the indispensable rhythmic alignment it needs to move forward. Otherwise, The Splendor’s atmospheric and ethereal brand of jazz would become a mere formless soundscape. Meanwhile, Källfelt's drum sound possessed an ever-present cool, not unlike the slightly impressionistic style of drummer Jerry Granelli of the Vince Guaraldi Trio.

I rarely go back for a second show, but Tessa Souter is one of my favorite singers, so why not indulge? Souter has been at the festival four times before at three different venues. She finally made it to Kilbourn Hall. Souter does not sing a lot of standards; she’s more likely to transform a pop tune into one as she did with Lennon and McCartney’s “Eleanor Rigby” and U2’s “Where the Streets Have No Name.” Whether singing her own songs, the songs of friends, or lesser-known tunes she’s found, she makes them all personal. At one point she sang her own “I Will Forget,” a song seemingly about an abusive relationship, followed by “You Won’t Forget Me.” These two strangely mirror-image songs were followed by another relationship song, “You Don’t Have To Believe.” With its Middle Eastern flavor and gorgeous, sinuous melody it’s my favorite of Souter’s compositions. She also drew on jazz history with a beautiful version of Kenny Barron’s “Sunshower” with lyrics by Teri Roiger;
402 W. Commercial St. East Rochester
McCoy Tyner’s “Contemplation,” retitled “Ancestors,” with lyrics by Vicki Burns; and a song with lyrics she wrote for a Wayne Shorter tune. One of the things that made Souter’s sound unique was her band: Adam Platt, piano; Keita Ogawa, percussion; and Dana Leong on cello. While Platt played a pretty conventional role at the piano, Ogawa used hand percussion as much as he used his drum set. And Leong got sounds out of his cello I’ve never heard before. The result was a unique textural soundscape, far from the usual jazz combo experience. The most touching part of the show was a heart-felt tribute to trumpeter Lew Soloff, the Eastman School of Music graduate and early member of Blood, Sweat & Tears who worked with Souter and was here with her at last year’s XRIJF. Singing a cappella for much of the song, with only Leong backing her on cello in parts, she sang a touching rendition of “Here’s To Life.” BY RON NETSKY PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLIN

Next on the agenda was Kneebody, playing its second set at Max of Eastman Place. The band’s ability to sustain a frantic groove was remarkable, and one got the sense that they could play at that quick pace and high skill level for hours. But Kneebody’s cohesion and split-second precision is ultimately what made the performance compelling — from the muscular, straight-ahead rock rhythms of bassist Kaveh Rastegar and drummer Nate Wood in “Lowell” to tenor saxophonist Ben Wendel’s insistent melodic theme in “Nerd Mountain” around which Shane Endsley’s trumpet motives seemed to swirl. Throughout the set, Kneebody’s compositions relied on a post-minimalist approach to melody, and the recurring use of repetition was subtly subversive. It was as if the quintet was successfully smuggling minimalist elements into its progressive jazz-rock songs. Even as the set came to a close with keyboardist Adam Benjamin’s “Antihero,” the group’s enduring energy was impressive, and a joy to experience. It’s worth noting that Benjamin, Endsley, and Wendel all attended Rochester’s Eastman School of Music together, about which there was much onstage reminiscing. BY DANIEL J. KUSHNER PHOTO BY ASHLEIGH DESKINS
RAUL MIDON While introducing one of his finest songs, “Invisible Chains,” Raul Midon gave away the secret of his phenomenal ability to play bass, rhythm, and lead guitar at the same time (not to mention singing). “I have all day to do this,” he told the large crowd at Xerox Auditorium. No one was buying it. For one song he moved over to the piano, explaining that he was inspired to write at the keyboard by Rickie Lee Jones, who he had toured with. She had told Midon she wrote better stories at the piano. His reasoning was he had to work harder because he didn’t know the piano as well as he did guitar and he couldn’t fall back on technique. Midon saved his best tune, “State Of Mind,” for last and of course proceeded to blow everyone away with his guitar gymnastics, the added bongo drums, and an extended solo on his mouth trumpet. At one point he mixed the mouth trumpet with guitar riffs and scat singing in a crazy mash-up of notes that truly only he could do. BY RON NETSKY

THEATER | SHAKESPEARE IN THE PARK
As they have for nearly two decades, the words of Shakespeare will come alive again in Rochester. The Rochester Community Player’s Shakespeare Players present the 19th annual Shakespeare in the Park at the Highland Park Bowl (1200 South Avenue). This year’s performances will include two plays: “Henry IV, Part 1” and “Henry IV, Part 2.” “Henry IV” picks up where “Richard II” — performed by RCP last April — left off, capturing the tumultuous rule of Henry IV, as well as the exploits of his son, Prince Hal, who chooses to shirk his royal duties in favor of cavorting with the lower rungs of society. The part of King Henry IV will be played by RCP veteran Jeffery Jones, who also played the part in “Richard II.” The performance is co-directed by Brad Craddock and Stephanie Roosa. “Part 1” will be performed Friday, June 26, Saturday, June 27, and Sunday, June 28. “Part 2” will be performed Friday, July 3, and Sunday, July 5. Beginning Tuesday, July 7, performances of “Part 1” and “Part 2” will be on alternate days through Saturday, July 18. No performances on Mondays or Thursdays. A double header of both parts will be performed on Sunday, July 12, beginning at 4 p.m. Entrance for Shakespeare in the Park is free with a suggested donation. All show times at 8 p.m. For more information, visit rochestercommunityplayers.org. — BY GINO FANELLI Village Knitting Circle. June 28, 1 p.m. Books Etc., 78 W.

Sweet emotion “Inside Out”
and Ronaldo Del Carmen illustrate complex ideas and abstract concepts with stylized, gorgeously rendered animation, making them accessible to the youngest of audiences. In the process they’ve created one of Pixar’s finest films, easily holding up against the studio’s best. The majority of “Inside Out” takes place inside the head of 11-year-old Riley (Kaitlyn Dias). There, we meet the five emotions who control her behavior: Joy, a Tinkerbell-esque yellow sprite voiced by Amy Poehler; mopey, blue Sadness (a terrific Phyllis Smith, “The Office”); sarcastic, green Disgust (Mindy Kaling); panicky, purple Fear (Bill Hader); and fiery, red Anger (Lewis Black). The world in which the emotions reside is established in a brisk introduction: they work in Headquarters, jockeying for a turn at the control panel that dictates Riley’s actions. They’re also in charge of storing memories, which emerge as glowing orbs tinged the color of whichever emotion is most associated with that particular experience. Among these are Riley’s core memories, recounting crucial incidents which form the basis of her identity. The

By now we’ve hopefully gotten past the ridiculous idea that animation is strictly for kids and accepted it as a versatile medium that allows filmmakers the means to tell stories which wouldn’t be physically possible (or would simply be too expensive) with a live-action film. Take Pixar’s astonishing new film, “Inside Out,” whose protagonists are the personified emotions of a preadolescent girl; in no other medium would visualizing this story in such detail be conceivable.

Film REVIEWS: rochestercitynewspaper.com/MOVIES
film’s portrayal of the human mind is ingenious; to gain insight into how to plot it all out, writers Meg LeFauve, Josh Cooley, and Docter consulted with various researchers and experts in the field of psychology, and it shows. Joy is the de facto leader of the team, and has been since the day Riley was born. A natural cheerleader, she also has a tendency to be pushy (there’s a lot of Leslie Knope in Poehler’s performance); she wants nothing more to make sure Riley is always happy. But then Riley and her parents (Diane Lane and Kyle MacLachlan) leave their home in Minnesota to make a new life in San Francisco. As Riley struggles in adjusting to her new surroundings, keeping Riley’s spirits up suddenly isn’t as easy as it once was. Sadness feels a growing compulsion to touch Riley’s memories, inflecting her joyous recollections of the past with a wistful melancholy As if the outside turmoil wasn’t enough, an accident results in Joy and Sadness getting whisked away from Headquarters and find themselves lost in the recesses of Riley’s mind, forcing them to work together to get themselves back where they belong. Their absence leaves only Fear, Disgust, and Anger at the helm of Riley’s mind. From there, the film becomes a buddy road trip story of sorts, as Joy and Sadness journey through the various areas of Riley’s mind, hoping aboard a literal Train of Thought, touring Dream Productions, and descending into the dungeon of Riley’s subconscious. Along the way, the pair adds an extra member to their party: Riley’s imaginary friend, Bing Bong (Richard Kind). Part elephant,

Slippery slopes “Dope” (R), WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY RICK FAMUYIWA NOW PLAYING
“Results” (R), WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY ANDREW BUJALSKI NOW PLAYING ON DEMAND [ REVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO
part dolphin, and a body made of cotton candy, Kind plays him as a sort of raggedy vaudeville performer, eager for another opportunity to entertain since being mostly discarded by Riley as she grows older. He’s an instantly endearing character. The film encourages empathy, occasionally flashing into other people’s minds to remind us that everyone has feelings, and before judging too harshly, it’s worth stopping to consider who might be guiding their control center; though a scene zipping into Riley’s parents’ minds strikes the film’s sole false note, leaning a little too heavily on clichéd gender roles. “Inside Out” is deceptively simple; a poignant examination of growing up, in the guise of a bright, candy-colored family film. This isn’t to say kids won’t be entertained — this is Pixar we’re talking about, so of course they will — but I suspect the movie will hold a particular power for older audiences, especially parents. These hidden depths are mirrored in the look of the emotions themselves, who appear solid from afar but on closer inspection reveal that they’re made up of drifting particles. As characters, by their nature they’re one dimensional — meant to express the sole emotion they symbolize — but their trajectory from the pure emotion of childhood to the more muddled emotions that come with adolescence is fairly profound. Growing up requires that we navigate the sometimes conflicting emotions inside us. They all have their purpose — sadness is every bit as important as joy — and each an essential part of life.

It’s said that there are only about seven different plots in storytelling, yet our unique perspectives have enabled scribes to recycle those same scenarios for thousands of years. So on the surface, there’s nothing particularly new or groundbreaking about writer-director Rick Famuyiwa’s “Dope,” in which naïve young people come into possession of a pile of drugs and try to stay ahead of the bad guys as they figure out how to offload it; we’ve seen that go down in movies like 1993’s “True Romance” and 1999’s “Go.” But Famuyiwa’s approach makes “Dope” seem fun, fresh, and vibrant; by no means is it a flawless film, but it is well-crafted and perfectly cast, with more than its share of star-making performances.
Kiersey Clemons, Shameik Moore, and Tony Revolori in “Dope.” PHOTO COURTESY OPEN ROAD FILMS
Comprehensive narration by Forest Whitaker introduces us to Malcolm (the ultra-charming Shameik Moore), a high school senior who lives in The Bottoms section of Inglewood, California. A self-described geek with a mile-high fade, Malcolm is obsessed with 1990’s hip-hop, and both the music and the aesthetic inform the lives of him and his best friends Jib (Tony Revolori, a long way from “The Grand Budapest Hotel”) and Diggy (Kiersey Clemons). A lesser-evil situation finds Malcolm crossing paths with friendly drug dealer Dom (rapper A$AP Rocky, pure charisma), but it’s Malcolm’s crush on Dom’s alluring girl Nakia (Zoe Kravitz, gorgeously confident) that leads to a chain of events resulting in several bundles of MDMA nestled in Malcolm’s backpack. The balance of “Dope” unfolds as Malcolm, Jib, and Diggy take steps to move the molly while avoiding the all-too-real pitfalls of their tough neighborhood as well as the myriad hazards in the outwardly nicer parts of town. That overstuffed-ness is the only major problem with the otherwise appealing “Dope,” which has so much to say on so many subjects that some points fail to resonate in the din. (And several scenes drag; “Dope” would benefit from some tightening.) But the film’s frenetic energy is reflected in Famuyiwa’s eye-candy shooting style, which includes split-screen, flashback, slow-motion, freeze-frame, montage, and changing film speeds. And the soundtrack, curated by executive producer Pharrell Williams, is on point with tracks ranging from A Tribe Called Quest to Gil Scott-Heron. Williams even wrote the original songs for Malcolm’s punk band, Awreeoh, which you should say out loud.
Your garden-variety romantic comedy is a nice girl, a nice guy, and, as Jane Austen once wrote of her characters, “after a little bit of trouble, all that they desire.” Everyone’s adorably quirky but no one’s overtly weird, even though humans are unquestionably strange. It’s surprising that not many filmmakers have the guts to craft real, imperfect people, but that’s one of the hallmarks of Andrew Bujalski, who hit the scene in the early aughts with “Funny Ha Ha” and “Mutual Appreciation.” When I wrote about those films, I asked: “What will Bujalski do when the studios start throwing money at him? Could he maintain a relatively artistic sensibility like Richard Linklater or would he sell out like Wayne Wang?” (Hey, it was 2006.) Now we know, and the results are “Results,” an expertly acted oddball gem. Set against the backdrop of a stripmall fitness club in Austin, Texas, “Results” stars the great character actor Kevin Corrigan as Danny, a multimillionaire shlub whose decision to get into shape throws him into the orbit of hilariously bossy personal trainer Kat (an impressive Cobie Smulders) and Kat’s stubbornly sincere boss Trevor (Guy Pearce, apparently up for anything), with whom she has something casual … maybe; she’s not sure. “Results” isn’t much to look at as it chronicles the bizarre love triangle among Danny, Kat, and Trevor, but it’s packed with Bujalski’s honest, tonguetied dialogue and as much reaction as there is action. (Corrigan, in particular, is a master of listening.) Throw in the dependably peculiar Giovanni Ribisi as a lawyer with a weed connection, plus Anthony Michael Hall as an intense Russian kettlebell guru, and the romantic comedy takes one more step in the right, truthful direction.
MY NIGHT AT MAUD’S
MAN, WOMAN AND SIN
Saturday, June 27, 8 p.m.
Tuesday, June 30, 8 p.m.
“. . . Rohmer’s first film using synchronized sound saw him break through to a new and supple style of filming and editing that is still a model for my filmmaking. Like the three Moral Tales that Rohmer had already filmed, Maud takes as its subject the disjunctures between the worldview of its protagonist (the wonderful Jean-Louis Trintignant) and the entropy of an all-too-real world that refuses to stay within the boundaries that ideology sets for it. But here for the first time Rohmer was able to demonstrate this disjunction with unmediated visual and aural textures. . .” – Dan Sallitt (Ma nuit chez Maud, Eric Rohmer, France 1969, 110 min., 35mm, French w/subtitles) Part of the series Three Weekends with Dan Sallitt.
Based on the poem “The Widow In the Bye-Street” by English Poet Laureate John Masefield, the film was a passionately wished-for project by John Gilbert, who plays a naive young reporter whose life is shattered by an affair with the mistress of the newspaper’s owner. Full of atmosphere, tension, and conflicted passions, this is an extraordinarily “adult” and psychologically complex American film for its time, and the fullest expression of Gilbert’s intellectual emotionalism as an actor and creator. (Monta Bell, US 1927, 67 min., 16mm) Live piano by Philip C. Carli. Part of the series The Legacy of James Card.

38 CITY JUNE 24-30, 2015
Wegmans pays a company, Natural Upcycling, to haul away the food waste (Noblehurst is a partner in the hauling company), and it pays Noblehurst and Lawnhurst to digest the waste. But it doesn’t cost the grocer any more than it would to send the discards to a landfill, Wadsworth says. “It’s really a philosophical issue,” he says. “We don’t believe in sending things that have a second benefit to a landfill.” And given the growing potential to turn food waste into energy and other useful byproducts, the financial dynamic will probably shift, Wadsworth says. He likens it to cardboard: companies used to pay recyclers to take the stuff, but as the market for recycled cardboard grew, the recyclers started taking it for free. Now, recyclers buy cardboard. When Noblehurst upgraded its digester, farm officials intentionally built in capacity for outside food waste. “We felt there’s a growing need on behalf of supermarkets and food manufacturers to find alternative ways to dispose of their food waste, rather than burying it into a landfill,” Noble says. Noblehurst’s digester takes in approximately 40,000 gallons of cow manure each day, which makes up about half of the system’s input. The farm’s permits allow it to take in food waste for the other half. In addition to the Wegmans scraps, the farm brings in waste water from a neighboring milk-processing plant and some other nearby processors, Noble says. It’s important to note that digesters don’t entirely eliminate carbon emissions from farm and food waste — but neither does composting. They can, however, be effective at reducing those emissions, especially when there are large amounts of organic material, says Tom Trabold, an associate professor at RIT’s Golisano Institute for Sustainability. Trabold has assisted with emissions analyses of farmbased digesters and advises a graduate student who has studied the issue. The how and why of those emissions reductions become complicated quickly. The benefits come from capturing the biogas, which is three-quarters methane, and converting it into electricity and heat, Trabold says.
That energy can displace electricity and heat from fossil fuel natural gas, Trabold says. The newer systems also operate as closed loops, and recirculate heat and emissions from the generator back into the digester, which uses them in its process. Some digesters have had problems with nitrous oxides and other nitrogen gases, but the systems are better now at minimizing and capturing those emissions, says Darby Hoover, a senior resource specialist for the Natural Resources Defense Council. Nitrogen gases can contribute to elevated ground-level ozone in urban areas and they have a greenhouse effect in the atmosphere. The idea of producing energy from cow poop
and food scraps is attention-grabbing. But the process also creates another product: a nutrient-rich goop known as digestate. Hoover says that the material improves soil health. The digestate allows farmers to return nutrients to the soil, and when combined with bulky compost, it can be especially restorative, she says. It also gives farmers the opportunity to replace synthetic fertilizers, which are often petroleum-derived, with fertilizers made from organic materials, she says. The nutrient-rich liquid is also easier to store and transport than manure, she says. And farmers can better control how they apply it to their fields, which means a reduction in the amount of nutrients — including problematic phosphorous and nitrogen — running off into waterways during heavy rains. Noblehurst uses the liquid from its digester as fertilizer for its 2,600 acres of its corn, hay, wheat, and straw crops, Noble says. It also plans to use the solid, bulky part of the digestate for cow bedding, which would save the farm $150,000 a year, he says. It’s encouraging, Hoover says, that farmers and food companies have found a viable way to keep organic wastes out of landfills. That they’re using the digesters’ byproducts to restore soil, and are looking beyond the energy benefits, is also positive, she says. “Waste inherently represents some kind of inefficiency, so if you can eliminate waste by redefining it as a value-added product, then absolutely you achieve something that’s economically and ecologically preferable,” Hoover says.

Pretty on Pearl
457 Pearl Street
The Queen Anne style home at 457 Pearl Street is pretty, indeed. It has all the bells and whistles you’d expect from Rochester’s historic housing stock--pocket doors, gorgeous woodwork, and built-ins. But it’s also a whole lot more. Behind all the pretty details is a solidly built home with lots of flexible space that has been carefully updated and maintained. All this in a great neighborhood with the city at your fingertips. Spend a lazy Sunday lounging and sipping coffee (or cocktails) from the comfort of the front porch. Inside the home, a stunning staircase with elaborate spindles and paneling, wows visitors. Tucked in front of the staircase is a cozy corner. With a window seat, built-in bookshelves, and just enough space for a big comfy chair, this area begs to be a reading nook. To the left of the entrance is the spacious living room, which features an original (currently non-functional) fireplace. The dining room is located off the living room, with convenient access to the kitchen. Pocket doors give you the flexibility to close off the living room or leave it open to maintain the airy, open feel of the home. The kitchen features an updated hexagonal tile floor, plenty of work space, and modern stainless steel appliances. You can take the rear servants stair up to the second floor from here but then you’d miss the amazing front staircase. Also off the kitchen is a full bath with clawfoot tub and tile floor.
Upstairs are more rooms than you can count but technically five bedrooms, offering lots of possibilities for flexible uses. The hallway features narrow board Rochester hardwood floors. The full bath has a tile floor and original wainscoting. Not included in the 2,908 square feet is the partially finished attic. Most of the attic is newly carpeted and freshly painted with room under the eaves for hidden storage. At the front of the home is a room with original hardwood floors and plenty of natural light--a perfect space for a media room, man cave, or quiet office retreat. The backyard is fully fenced and a generous size for a city lot. There’s a patio off the kitchen but the rest of the yard offers a blank slate for the ambitious gardener. The world is your oyster from 457 Pearl Street. You can get to any southeast quadrant neighborhood, downtown, or the river in minutes on a bike. If you’re traveling farther afield, I-490 is just a few blocks away down Goodman St. The asking price of this spacious, character-filled home, in a fantastic urban setting has just been reduced to $159,500. Come see it for yourself this Sunday, June 28 during the open house or contact Nothnagle agent, Gail Vanderbrook, at 315-573-3720. by Caitlin Meives Caitlin is a city living booster, the Preservation Planner at The Landmark Society and co-founder of The Landmark Society’s Young Urban Preservationists.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD
What Cannibals Can Teach Us
Researchers studying the human-brain-eating Fore tribe of Papua New Guinea reported in a June journal article that they have identified the specific “prion” resistance gene that appears to offer complete protection against mad cow disease and perhaps other neurodegenerative conditions such as dementias and Parkinson’s. The tribe customarily dined on relatives’ brains at funerals (although has abandoned the practice) and consequently suffered a major 1950’s epidemic that wiped out 2 percent of the tribe annually. According to the lead researcher, survivors, with the specific resistance gene, demonstrated “a striking example of Darwinian evolution in humans.”
Recurring Themes (All-New Episodes!)
— Spouses often disagree politically and vote accordingly, but occasionally one runs for office against the other — as is the case in Bremerton, Washington, where incumbent Councilmember Roy Runyon is being challenged by his wife, Kim Faulkner. Both were mum as to reasons and in fact filed their registration papers together at the same time in May. Said Runyon: “We’re different people. She might have a different approach.” — India’s media reported in April yet another birth defect in which the surviving baby is treated as a representation of Hindu holiness. A four-armed, four-legged child (medical explanation: remains of an underdeveloped conjoined twin) is worshipped as the reincarnation of the multi-limbed Lord Ganesha, and pilgrims journey from all over India to the birthplace, Dumri-Isri in Jharkhand state. (In a nod to modernity, one witness told a reporter that initially he had thought a photograph of the
child was “Photoshopped,” but now has seen the baby with his own eyes.) — The law of turkey-baster insemination took a turn in Virginia in April when mother Joyce Bruce was unable to keep sperm-provider Robert Boardwine out of her son’s life. Bruce relied on a state statute that seemed to allow her sole parenthood if the pregnancy was based on assisted-reproduction medical technology. However, the Court of Appeals of Virginia declared that a “kitchen implement” is not “medical technology” and, considering Boardwine’s genuine interest in fatherhood, ruled that he was entitled to joint custody and visitation rights. — Another “Human Right”: In April, London’s Daily Mail spotted Anna Broom of Gillingham declaring that despite her various disorders that keep her from working, she nonetheless imagines a first-class wedding with champagne, horse-drawn carriage and Mexico honeymoon — all at government expense — because that would be her “human right.” She told a reporter that a small ceremony at a government office would not boost her confidence, but that her “dream” wedding would be just the thing to get her back on a job search. — The most recent exposition of people who tattoo their eyeballs, at the International Tattoo Festival in Caracas, in February, featured the phenomenon’s founder, Mr. Luna Cobra, who said it all started when he tried to create “bright blue” eyes, as in the 1984 film “Dune.” (Pigment is injected, permanently, so that it rests under the eye’s thin top layer, the conjunctiva.) Asked what the process feels like, devotee Kylie Garth told BBC News, “It was mentally intense,” resembling an eye poke, pressure and “a bit of sand” — but “no pain.” Mr. Cobra urged young people to get their jobs before trying eye tats, since “you’re going to look frightening forever to the majority of people you encounter.”
[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 40 ]
[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): When it comes to finding love, take action. Don’t sit back -- go after what you want. Engage in activities that you find exciting, and romantic opportunities will open up. Your unpredictable nature will appeal to someone just as quick, dynamic and passionate as you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t be too quick to offer personal information to someone showing interest in you. Ulterior motives are likely to surface once you have trusted someone using charm to get you to open up. Turn the tables and be the one asking questions, not the one giving answers.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll find true love close to home. You may be looking for excitement, but the partner who offers versatility and stability is fully aware and able to handle your fickle, playful nature. Take a look around you: An admirer is waiting and watching for a signal from you. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Easy does it when it comes to romance. Don’t give yourself to someone who isn’t available to take part in a one-on-one relationship with you. A secret affair that leads nowhere will break your heart and stand in the way of finding the love of your life.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your charm and generosity will not go unnoticed. Living life to the fullest will attract plenty of partners who want to share your world. Don’t settle for someone who is happy to stand in your shadow when you can be with someone capable of standing beside you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Be proactive when it comes to sharing your likes and dislikes. Once you reveal what you want, you will attract someone heading in a similar direction. Attitude is everything, and finding the partner you can collaborate with to achieve a preferred lifestyle should be your goal.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your sensitivity toward others must not be ignored. Emotions will surface and tempers will escalate if jealousy and possessiveness are allowed to fester. Don’t look for love in all the wrong places. Choose partners based on what you can accomplish as a couple, not individually. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A romantic contract can be signed. Make your vows, promises or a commitment to someone who takes your breath away, and you will head in a direction that ensures a long-lasting love affair with a unique compatible partner. Don’t let a past love stand in your way.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your adventurous nature will attract someone as outgoing and thrill seeking as you. Sign up for activities and events that stir up your emotions and challenge you mentally, physically and emotionally, and you will meet your match. Love at first sight is in the stars. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Be smart when dealing with affairs of the heart. Not everyone will be honest about his or her intentions. A last-minute change should be taken as a warning sign to protect your heart and continue looking for someone offering greater stability and security.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Share your emotions, feelings and desires with the person you cannot stop thinking about. Don’t be afraid to bare your soul and offer suggestions and a way to fulfill your personal dreams, hopes and wishes. It will be liberating, and the feedback will be enlightening. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Say little and observe a lot when it comes to personal relationships. Not everyone will be honest in portraying desires and intentions. Refuse to become too intimate too quickly, or you will end up being used by someone you thought shared a special moment with you.
