Back in the 80’s, Buckingham bought up a bunch of warehouse space on University Avenue, near Culver. Everyone though they were crazy. I remember Mr. Glazer saying they wanted to be ready when the new University Avenue off-ramp from the newly rebuilt Can of Worms brought more traffic to the street.

We have to add strong mass transit
High Tech Rochester’s plans for an “innovation district” in downtown Rochester is the best economic news for our city in years. We have a good portion of the foundation needed to grow a successful innovation district; however, we are missing a key pillar. The Brookings Institution has identified good public transportation, especially modern streetcars, as a prerequisite. Robert Puentes and Adie Tomer of the Brookings institute wrote that “the geography of innovation is changing: from spread-out and isolated to concentrated and connected. Today’s innovative firms and workers seek proximity so that ideas and knowledge can be transferred more quickly and seamlessly.” A key factor for successful innovation districts, they said, is that “all require public transit to move people and provide access to jobs and economic opportunity.” GE recently announced that it will build a major facility in downtown Cincinnati, and they citied the under-construction modern streetcar line as a major factor in deciding the location. Modern streetcar lines in cities including Seattle, Salt Lake City, and Portland, Oregon (which had the same population and density as Rochester back in the 2 CITY

1970’s, when Portland first began to invest in rail transit) have attracted vibrant new developments and have revitalized neighborhoods. New lines in Milwaukee, Kansas City, Detroit, Tucson, Atlanta, Charlotte, and Washington, DC, have spurred development even before the lines are completed. Downtown Rochester had developed on our onceextensive streetcar network (including the former streetcar subway). After our transit service shriveled to an infrequent, minimalist bus-only system, downtown became dependent on parking and could no longer support the density that it once had. The proliferation of surface parking lots has diluted the vitality of downtown by isolating buildings and activity. If Rochester is to follow the lead of cities that have successfully revitalized themselves, we need to reduce the dependence on parking to allow in-fill development to replace parking lots. We need frequent transit service to move people within the center city and to connect downtown to neighborhoods, the UR, Kodak Park, and brownfield redevelopment sites. If we are to be successful in reducing our overwhelming poverty, we need to provide access from city neighborhoods to employment, and we need to provide the infrastructure that encourages more employers to locate within the city. Remote employment sites with little or no transit service, such as Victor and Genesee County’s STAMP, will not make a dent in Rochester’s poverty. Modern streetcars provide frequent service more efficiently and costeffectively than bus-only service. Modern streetcars are quiet, smooth-riding, electric, non-polluting, and energy efficient, and have been proven to attract new riders. It is past time for Rochester to get serious about exploring modern streetcars. DEWAIN FELLER

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
Supremes launch attacks on women’s health care This is not good. As it wrapped up its term last month, the Supreme Court issued decisions – twice – that were aimed squarely at women and women’s health and reproductive rights. On June 26, they weakened a Massachusetts law and opened the door for anti-abortion activists to give advice, close and personal, to women entering reproductive-health facilities in that state. And on June 30, they sided with closely held corporations who want to deny health insurance coverage for contraception. Both decisions are troubling. And it seems likely that similar, perhaps broader, rulings lie ahead. In the June 26 decision, McCullen v. Coakley, the court said a Massachusetts law dealing with protests at reproductive health facilities is unconstitutional. Under that law, anti-abortion activists could protest, but they had to stay 35 feet away from the facilities’ entrance. That restriction, said Eleanor McCullen, who brought the suit, limits her ability to talk directly to women heading into the facility. The court’s decision was unanimous; surprisingly (to me), the three women justices – among the Court’s most liberal members – went along. Many analysts have noted that the McCullen ruling was narrow, applying only to the Massachusetts law, which has strict limits on protests. New York’s buffer zone is only 15 feet – and significantly, protesters can demonstrate within that zone. They just can’t block or obstruct the entrance to the facility, “follow and harass” people, or indulge in similar aggressive behavior. Balancing women’s privacy rights and protesters’ free-speech rights isn’t easy. But I don’t see how requiring protesters to keep a respectful distance is a serious restriction on their right to speak. Abortion is a legal, and quite serious, medical procedure. Women and their families have a right to enter a health-care facility without being lectured, preached at, intimidated, and humiliated. Unintended or not, there’s a good bit of arrogance in deciding that a woman entering a medical facility needs advice that she hasn’t gotten from her doctor. As with many things related to this issue, anti-abortion protesters seem to think that women undergo an abortion without thinking it through – and without understanding the seriousness of the procedure. And the McCullen decision may be just the beginning. Three justices – Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, and Clarence Thomas – were clear, in fact, about how they feel
In decisions on both abortion protests and contraceptive coverage, the June Supreme Court rulings hint at more troubling cases ahead. about buffer zones, saying that they favored overturning a previous Supreme Court ruling that supported a narrower buffer zone. And here’s what an attorney for the conservative Christian group Alliance Defending Freedom told Politico: “This may end up meaning the end of most abortion clinic zones around the country, because I think most states and localities are not going to be able to show that they truly have a compelling interest.” Distance limits on protests are common. In New York State, you can’t pass out campaign literature or otherwise promote a political candidate within 100 feet of the entrance to a polling place. Protests are routinely restricted around political conventions. Protests are prohibited from a large area in front of the Supreme Court building itself. But women entering a medical facility, some of them already under emotional stress – and many of them there for health care unrelated to abortion – must submit to personal confrontation, protests, and preaching. In the second case, Burwell v. Hobby Lobby,
the court ruled 5-4 that insurance policies of closely held companies don’t have to cover contraception if the company owners maintain that it violates their religious beliefs. News reports after the decision estimated that closely held corporations – some of continues on page 7

It’s not true that Governor Andrew Cuomo favors Buffalo over Rochester, says State Assembly member Joe Morelle. FILE PHOTO
ECONOMY | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
The Buffalo blues For years, there’s been a polite rivalry between Rochester and the Queen City. With its brand-name companies, Rochester was viewed by many as the white-collar town, while Buffalo was the steel town. And when Buffalo’s financial management soured so badly that the city was put under state oversight, there were more than a few snickers heard in Rochester. But many Rochesterians aren’t laughing now. And as reports of Buffalo’s resurgence become more common, some fairly prominent Rochesterians are crying foul. The Buffalo-Niagara region gets more state aid than Rochester at a time when Rochester desperately
needs the help, they say. An example: one of Governor Andrew Cuomo’s most lauded announcements in 2012 was $1 billion in financial aid to breathe new life into Buffalo. The money is being provided over a period of years. Still for some that has led to one question: What about Rochester? State Assembly member Joe Morelle says he’s heard the complaint many times, but the perception doesn’t match the reality. “A lot of what the governor has done in Buffalo is as much talking about Buffalo as it is giving them resources,” Morelle says. “The governor said, ‘Let’s focus on Buffalo, let’s talk it up, and let’s get some buzz

going about it. And we’ll get this thing lit like kindling.’” Morelle says that while Buffalo has received more state financial aid than Rochester, it’s not much more. When you add the money that the city’s received for Eastman Business Park, Midtown, the University of Rochester, and Rochester Institute of Technology, he says, Rochester’s financial aid is almost on par with Buffalo’s. And Morelle says that Cuomo plans to draw similar public attention to Rochester and the Finger Lakes region soon. “I don’t think the governor is getting enough credit for what he’s doing [for Rochester],” Morelle says.

HEALTH | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
Disappointment in medical marijuana law Holly Anderson says that while she’s glad that a medical marijuana bill has been approved by the State Legislature, she’s disappointed in the version of the bill that passed. Anderson, who is executive director of the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester, says that Governor Andrew Cuomo didn’t voice his objections to an earlier version of the bill until it was too late to address them. “My ire is with the governor,” she says. And she’s not the only advocate of medical marijuana who says that the bill got watered down in ways that will make cannabis more expensive for patients. And for some, it will be less effective, Anderson says. Anderson’s biggest objection to the new law is the fact that it doesn’t allow smoking as one of the ways that the plant can be used. Smoking is the most efficient way for the body to absorb all of the plant’s compounds, she says. Some of those compounds could be lost by processing the plant into a commercial form, she says. Other criticisms: that the law creates too many layers of bureaucracy, that insurers won’t cover the purchase of
the drug, and that purchases must be made in cash. Anderson, a stage 3 breast cancer survivor, says that getting the law passed was partly a battle about perception. She says Holly Anderson.

Three buildings with links to the University of Rochester are now part of START-UP NY, a program that essentially turns the buildings into tax-free zones. High Tech Rochester’s Lennox Tech Enterprise Center is a tech start-up incubator in Henrietta. The other two buildings are in Eastman Business Park, and they contain a combination of wet lab, dry lab, and office space, says UR spokesperson Mark Michaud. UR is leasing the Eastman buildings from Kodak, which owns the park. High Tech Rochester is a UR affiliate and its incubator is home to start-ups that grew out of research at the university, Michaud says. START-UP NY is one of Governor Andrew Cuomo’s signature economic development initiatives. It’s open to start-up businesses, companies relocating to New York, and companies that are expanding and adding jobs. The businesses also have to partner with a college or university and locate in space that’s linked — not necessarily in a physical way — to the institution. Businesses that participate in START-UP NY don’t pay taxes for 10 years. The three sites will appeal to firms at different stages of growth and will help create high-tech jobs with good pay, says Peter Robinson, UR’s vice president for government and community relations.

CIVIL LIBERTIES | BY JEREMY MOULE
An atheist in the Town of Greece Religion can alienate as well as unite. When government officials have prayer at public meetings, they can estrange some of the very people they’ve been elected to serve, says Hamlin resident Dan Courtney. The Town of Greece began opening its monthly Town Board meetings with a prayer given by an invited member of the local religious community in 1999. All but a handful of those prayers have been given by Christians, Courtney says, and the prayers often reference tenets of Christianity. It’s safe to say that the Town Board’s next meeting will be a little bit different. Courtney, an atheist, will give the invocation at the Greece Town Board meeting at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, July 15. “I want to make it clear to the nonChristian community, the minority faiths, and nonbelievers in the Town of Greece,” he says. “I want them to know that they can participate in the process.” If Courtney’s reasoning sounds familiar, it’s because the same argument was at the center of a recent US Supreme Court case involving the Town of Greece. Several years ago, Greece residents Susan Galloway and Linda Stephens sued in an attempt to get the town to permit prayers that reference God in a general sense only. The case reached the Supreme Court, which ruled in the town’s favor. The decision is nuanced, though. The majority opinion says that the town hasn’t endorsed or discriminated against any religion. The town pulls from churches in the community; it just so happens that most of the churches in Greece are Christian. And the court says that Christian prayer can continue, as long as the town doesn’t discriminate against representatives of other religious groups. Courtney, an engineer for a manufacturing company and member of the Atheist Community of Rochester, says that the decision provides an opportunity for different religious groups to appear before the Greece Town Board. And people, including nonbelievers, need to take advantage of that opportunity, he says. Of course, when you throw open the doors, you never know who’s going to walk through. Greece Supervisor Bill Reilich told a 13 WHAM reporter recently that he’s rejected a couple of “wacky” requests to give the invocation. One came from a member of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster — a satirical religion that rejects dogma, he said. And the other came from someone named Lucifer who said he wanted to perform an animal sacrifice, Reilich said. Courtney says that in those distinctions, the town is determining what’s legitimate and what isn’t. 6 CITY
JULY 9-15, 2014
“I imagine at some point there’s going to have to be a process, a decision process that’s coming out of this,” he says. “And I wonder how the Town of Greece is going to handle that.” In a recent interview, Courtney talked about his upcoming invocation as well as some of the religious freedom issues tied up in public prayer. The following is an edited version of that discussion. CITY: A lot of people probably wonder what sort of invocation an atheist would deliver. Describe yours. Courtney: The theme of the invocation
and the theme of the press conference afterward is inclusion. What I’m focusing on is that we need to look to all the citizens in governing the locality — governing anything for that matter. We need to look to what we have in common. Not what divides us but what brings us together. I’ll do that in a respectful way that’s not derogatory of any other faith position. Justice [Antonin] Scalia asked a rhetorical question: What would an atheist pray to? When I heard that in the oral arguments, that kind of raised alarm bells. Here’s a justice of the Supreme Court ruling on law for the whole country and it’s beyond the scope of his imagination that a nonbeliever could even provide an invocation, which I thought was a little scary. How did you approach the town about giving the invocation? Did you experience any resistance?
I happened to have figured out beforehand who the proper contact person is and I sent her an e-mail the very evening, actually, of the [Supreme Court] decision. I said, “Hey, I’m an atheist, we’ve been underrepresented in this invocation process. I would like to please get on the schedule and provide the invocation.” And she came back with a date and here we are. I wouldn’t say they’ve given me resistance. They’ve been cordial, but I wouldn’t say friendly. It was essentially “I’m going to do this because I have to but I’m not going to like doing it.” That’s definitely the impression that I got.
Is the Galloway v. Town of Greece decision all bad? The way some legal experts read it, local governments can’t exclude minority religious groups from giving invocations.
From an atheist activist’s position, I think this is a good thing. It may, in the long term, end up being the best outcome because they cannot exclude minority faiths. Now that the Supreme Court has ruled and said that sectarian prayer is perfectly legal, all we’re doing is excluding ourselves. So I think it’s important that we now stand up and say “We need to be included in this process.” It’s not our preferred outcome. We’d rather have there be no invocation at all, Dan Courtney, in front of the Greece town offices.

them, like Dell, quite large – employ 52 percent of US workers. It’s impossible to know how many owners of closely held companies will take advantage of the ruling, or how many people will be affected. There will be some, though, starting with the employees of Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties, which brought the suit. Just as serious is what this ruling points toward. As with McCullen, the Hobby Lobby decision was a narrow one, affecting only closely held corporations. But the federal health care law already provides exemptions for churches as well as schools, universities, and hospitals that are operated by religious organizations. That’s a lot of employees. And this won’t be the end. People and organizations opposed to contraception in any form – and critics of the Affordable Care Act, which requires contraception coverage – know a friendly court when they see one. The justices in the majority suggested that there’s a way around this tricky business of balancing religious freedom and women’s health needs: just have the government pay for contraceptive coverage for everybody. Yes! Single-payer health care! Not from this Congress or any one in the foreseeable future. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. And as several commentators have suggested, contraception may not be the only area of health care that runs into a religiousfreedom suit. Some Americans have strong religious objections to vaccinations. If we exempt employers from providing coverage for contraception when that violates their religious beliefs, by what stretch of logic could we require employers to cover vaccinations? And Brookings Institution Senior Fellow Jonathan Rausch expands on that concern, suggesting that “it’s now inevitable” that owners of some closely held businesses will sue over having to provide health benefits for same-sex couples. “I think gay marriage is going to come up very fast,” he said in a Brookings blog interview. A few optimists are hoping that the Hobby Lobby decision will help Democrats running in this year’s mid-term Congressional election. A Politico report included this statement from Dawn Laguens, executive vice president of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund: “The idea of giving bosses a right to discriminate and deny employees access to birth control is deeply unpopular and will be a rallying call for women and families across the country headed into the elections this November.” Well, I hope so. I hope so. But these rulings are just as likely to encourage an already fired up conservative base. I’m not seeing much of a silver lining.

When The Revelry opened last year, it introduced many to low-country Southern cuisine and added another local option for craft cocktails. It also enjoyed a lot of buzz: some positive (quality food and drinks, attractive interior), some negative (overpriced, hipster mecca). One year in, the buzz has quieted but the quality hasn’t. Across the board — an inventive bar, tasty food, transportive decor, and attentive service — The Revelry is worth your time. A few words about the most common criticisms I’ve come across: while it’s fair to say The Revelry is not an inexpensive
restaurant, its pricing is on par with local restaurants in its service category. Cocktails at The Revelry are $10, similar to those served at The Daily Refresher, Nikko, and Good Luck. Entrées on the spring menu range from $16 to $27: on par with entrees at Lento, Max of Eastman Place, and TRATA. As for The Revelry being a hipster magnet: are there any bars or restaurants serving craft cocktails without their share of tattooed, mustachioed, under-30 clientele? I’m poking fun but The Revelry’s bar really is impressive — both the actual structure glittering with bottles; and the menu, mixing all manner of spirits with various tinctures. The Jalisco Sour ($10) blends silver tequila, lime and pineapple juices, and angostura bitters into a light and restrained drink. Served in a wide-mouth champagne glass with a fluff of whipped egg white at the top, it wouldn’t look out of place at ladies’ luncheon. Its appearance belies its strength: it is the steel magnolia of cocktails. The Muay Thai Mule ($10) moves the mule out of Moscow by mixing ginger beer
and vodka with a shrub, a combination of Thai basil, strawberries, sugar, and vinegar. It’s refreshing, mildly sweet with an herbal edge, and goes down easy. The N.A. version of the Vega ($5) is a blend of pureed berries, lemon, and mint. Creamy on the tongue, there’s a touch of tartness to balance the sweetness. (The alcoholic version adds vodka and St. Germain.) The Revelry’s food menu puts similar twists on the familiar. Beet deviled eggs ($7) shine jewel-like on the platter — an impressive feat for a dish commonly served at church dinners. Served on a white rectangular plate, four half eggs stand tall, a deep ruby-purple in hue, barely containing the golden yolk filling piled inside. Each is garnished with mustard seeds, chips of bacon and micro greens. Though there are slices of Chioggia beets on the plate, the deviled eggs aren’t earthy. They taste rich, salty and creamy, with added mustard and bacon kicks. A few of the appetizers would satisfy as a light lunch, including the duck tacos
($10). They start with house-made corn tortillas, pressed until they have irregular edges, a gentle thickness and a slight chew, and are cooked until the pale corn dough is lightly freckled with spots of brown. The duck — pulled apart the way you might prep barbecued pork — is tender and coated with deep, reddish-brown pickled peach relish that’s smoky, sweet, and spicy. There’s a pleasing vinegary sharp bite, too. Included on the starter menu are a “basket of biscuits” ($5). This Southern staple comes with five biscuits and two ramekins, one with smoked butter and the other with “Edna’s” pimento cheese spread, another traditional Southern offering. The biscuits are golden on top, paler on the sides, and flaky. They are drier than I like, and benefit from the fat and cream of the spreads. The pimento cheese is pale orange, creamy, salty, and a little spicy — the kind of treat that makes it easy to spoil your appetite. The butter is a different story: served chilled, it’s difficult to continues on page 26 rochestercitynewspaper.com

[ ART FEATURE ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
hough Rochester is arguably too hasty in tearing down its old structures and institutions, we have a problem jump-starting our new identity. But in a town where major civic projects are held up for years — or never come to fruition — Rochester has seen the rapid unfolding of one of the major new street art festivals in the United States: Wall Therapy. “The project began with just four artists and a vision for making Rochester a destination city for inspired mural art,” says Ian Wilson, Wall Therapy founder. “In four years, it’s happening.” During this time, 40 of the most renowned street artists have come to Rochester to paint some 70 murals. As the momentum continues to pick up more attention from big names in the worldwide street art community, the small community of Rochesterians who appreciate the medium also rises in number. “I think since the advent of Wall Therapy, there’s a broader appreciation for art of all kinds that are in the public space,” Wilson says. At the same time, the project has also created opportunities, both locally and elsewhere, for local artists. Each year, a percentage of the featured “Wall Therapists” are Rochester-based artists, who have since enjoyed broader audiences for what they do, and have gained connections with artists and promoters from other cities and countries.
This year’s announced roster is yet again an exciting one, featuring eight
out-of-town muralists and three Rochester-based artists, all working within the theme of portraiture. Germany-based Addison Karl creates highly realistic, colorful faces, expertly rendering universal expressions and quirky faces formed with kinetic diagonal hash marks. Conversely, New York-based Alice Mizrachi takes a more illustration-like, stylized approach, her faces and figures constructed of highly saturated hues and characterized by strong lines.

Italian artist Alice Pasquini’s work is even more illustrative, transforming walls into sketchy, tonal vignettes seemingly pulled from storybooks and reverie. U.K. artist David Walker strides the border between chaos and structure, carefully forming the faces of pensive women out of colorful splattering and with light and dark shading. San Jose-based artist Sam Rodriguez creates gestural portraits of people whose features are often partially obscured by complex geometric patterning and explosive lines. Baltimore-based Ernest Shaw Jr. paints lovingly-rendered portraits of African-American heroes with thoughtful expressions, solo or in sets of faces. Canadian artist Jarus covers walls and train cars with painterly portraits of pretty ladies. The legendary street artist OMEN 514, also based in Canada, creates haunting shades of humanity with hatch-mark contours and tonal shading as intangible as smoke. This year’s selection of local artists include three artists who are strong at their game, but don’t have backgrounds in painting murals, specifically. All three of the chosen local artists, Caitlin Yarksy, John Perry, and Shawnee Hill, “have created great work with people as their central subject,” says Wall Therapy lead organizer and co-curator Erich Lehman. “Ian and I felt strongly that their skills, demonstrated on 4’x4’ and greater canvases, could scale up easily to wall size, and all three accepted with enthusiasm.” continues on page 12

Wall Therapy 2013 muralist and Rochester-based tattoo artist and painter, Adam Francey, had never painted on a wall prior to last year’s event, “and he knocked it out of the park,” Lehman says. Wilson says the community is showing more enthusiasm each year for Wall Therapy and its annual July festival. “Over the past two years the community has supported us in an amazing way, through our crowd-funding campaign,” Wilson says. “Which was very surprising — when we set out to at least partially fund Wall Therapy through crowd funding last year, we set the goal at $30,000, which was pretty steep. But somehow I knew that we’d make it. I felt good about the possibility of having a successful campaign, based on the feedback I got from people throughout the community.” Both the verbal and the monetary shows of support encouraged the team to expand the roster the way they did last year. In 2011, Wall Therapy hosted four South Africa-based artists with a handful of local collaborators. In 2012, they hosted eight out-of-town artists from all over the world, and three local artists. Last summer, Wall Therapy saw a massive jump to 18 announced artists, nine local artists, and a
2013 mural "Commerce Moves Swifter Than Culture," by Gaia on the South Wedge Planning Committee building at 224 Mt. Hope Avenue. FILE PHOTO
handful of unannounced surprises, as well as the three artists invited for “Fall Therapy” — a series of smaller mural creation events held throughout the end of the year. An additional factor that weighed in on the expansion, Wilson says, was the incredible group of volunteers who rallied around the Wall Therapy endeavor. “With so many extremely capable, smart people on your team, there’s not a whole lot you can’t do,” he says. If last year’s successful funding campaign was a milestone, telling organizers how much this project means to this community, this year’s campaign was another feather in the project’s cap. In preparation for this month’s festival, the Wall Therapy team conducted crowd funding once more, setting the goal again at $30,000. Private individuals stepped up to match donations several times. “We reached our goal and then some. We surpassed it by 20 percent. That was almost like the community was screaming loudly how much this project is wanted,” Wilson says. In addition to the monetary show of
generosity from supporters of the project, hospitality has been a crucial factor. Individuals have lent spare apartments, rooms, or whatever they could to accommodate artists. They have provided meals, and they have taken the time to show the visitors the city during down time. “Part of the story that the artists take with them is the people here who essentially take care of them,” Wilson says. “Part of the reason they
recommend us to other artist friends is that they know how warmly they’re received, and how they’re taken care of while they’re here.” Having heard about Rochester’s festival through the street art circuit, artists from other cities and countries have begun reaching out to Wall Therapy organizers directly, inquiring about how they can get involved. It started last year, Wilson says, as they were building the roster. Folks were emailing the Rochester organizers, impressed with the festival and having heard high recommendations from their friends who had been involved. In 2012, there was a lot of feedback from the Rochester community about some of the work. Not all of it was glowing, particularly about the sometimes misunderstood couple of murals by Belgian artist ROA — one mural of sleeping bears (in the St. Paul district) was in some cases interpreted as sexual, another mural, of a chick and egg (on Flint Street), was thought of by some as being symbolically violent. “What I realized during that time was, even though we, as a group of organizers and team members, are more or less informed about this kind of art, that there was a larger piece that was missing from the community education side,” Wilson says. Community exposure of this kind of art on this scale was lacking. Wilson says he learned that we’re never doing anything in a vacuum. “We’re out in city space, which is shared by all of us who live here. We
have to be mindful that sensibilities and tastes and preferences vary. And that’s just a fact,” he says. No one is “the final arbiter on aesthetics. But at least if we start talking about art in the public space, then maybe the secondary gain would be a greater appreciation of spaces.” Another driving factor in the project is this idea of what an increased awareness of our spaces can bring about. “Initially, the message was to encourage the small, but important segment of our community, the at-risk youth, to believe in something,” Wilson says. “Whether it’s themselves, their family, community, just believe in something.” The 2011 mural on Troop Street, called “Believe” — featuring work by Cape Town artists Mak1one, and Freddy Sam, and local artists Snoe, Oz, Zone, Taste, Kurt Ketchum, and Shawn Dunwoody — was Wall Therapy’s first effort, “and it was designed to communicate that message in an ongoing way,” Wilson says. But the project ultimately plans to inspire, and motivate, all of Rochester. “If you attempt to get the youth to believe in something, imagine trying to motivate an entire city to believe that it can be more than it is,” he says. Wall Therapy seeks to initiate a sort of open dialogue, through art, about what Rochester’s future is. “We have an amazing city that we live in, and its best years are ahead, not in the past,” Wilson says.

Wall Therapy has stepped up to be a big part of the revitalization of Rochester’s downtown, helping to get people more engaged in the city’s future. “The city is the nucleus of all of the activity that happens in the region, arguably,” he says. “So a strong Rochester is a strong region. A Rochester that attracts visitors from around the world, who take our story with them when they leave, is a great thing for all of us. We all benefit when Rochester does well.” Erich Lehman — who also owns 1975 Gallery — says that there have been many amazing experiences surrounding the street art festival. Among these he counts the opportunity to work with, learn from, and forge friendships with artists he admires. Learning more about Rochester has drastically altered his relationship and role with this city. “I’m no longer just a resident; I am one of Rochester’s biggest cheerleaders and I want people to see why I love this city,” he says. “I’ve also had so many life-altering experiences sharing the murals with people of all ages, from youth through adults,” Lehman says. He toured the murals with 5th-7th graders from the Rochester City School District. “Their questions and enthusiasm blew me away, and I was thrilled that after two hours, many of them kept asking to see more murals and asked thoughtful questions about each mural.” In addition, Lehman has noted an increased dialogue about art in the public continues on page 30

Tarantino has been a stand-out player in Eastman ensembles for years, but if you’ve heard her name recently it’s because she played with Earth, Wind & Fire at the XRIJF. At Kilbourn Hall, Terefenko and Tarantino will perform lesser known standards and original compositions. After the concert they’ll be recording an album together. — BY RON NETSKY

As an instrumental outfit, the members have spent the last decade honing their instrumental voices, and on their current release, “Hymn For The Greatest Generation,” they speak loudly. Want to be immersed in an emotionally stirring wall of sound? If yes, check these guys out. Barbarossa will also perform. — BY ERIC WITKOWSKI
Though it’s been jazz, jazz, jazz, the last month or so here at City Newspaper, before I dive head long into some punk rock therapy, I have to tell you about this new Danny Fox Trio album “Wide Eyed.” Reminiscent of the Love Trio in its frivolity — Danny Fox Trio hails from New York as well — Fox doesn’t merely sit and play the piano, he brandishes it as it dominates his trio with subtlety and beauty abound. Fox is a languid, fluid player with very few chops that hint at safety or caution. He lets fly dynamically in the music’s multitudinous subtle and gray areas. There’s no unnecessary drama here even when he plays the cracks between the cracks (a salute to Monk perhaps) on the disc’s opening track, “Sterling.” Tunes like “All Tolled” exhibit the trio’s percussive side which, despite its repetition and attack, doesn’t horse it into the boat. “Wide Eyed” is an 11-song journey or at least a delightful soundtrack to your own. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

BBQ and the blues are salaciously synonymous in my sordid life. Both share a plethora of adjectives like smoky and juicy and hot, and indulging in both at the same time seems only natural. Sure, the Lilac Fest has the sweet smell of flowers and the Jazz Fest marks my favorite week on Earth each year, but Big Rib BBQ and Blues Fest is, as the kids put it, my jam. Six rib masters from around the US — Porky ‘N’ Beans from Port St. Lucie, Florida; Texas Pit BBQ from Willis, Texas; Good Smoke BBQ from Rochester; Gator BBQ from Ontario, Canada; Smokin’ T’s BBQ from Long Grove, Illinois; and Johnson’s BBQ from Chesapeake, Virginia — will bring
the heat to the meat as you eat to the beat of these top flight artists. Shoes optional, napkins mandatory, pleasure overload inevitable. Dig this righteous line-up, dad: Thursday, July 10: Ruckus Juice Jug Stompers will bring the old time porch music (4:30 p.m.); Fat City will cover the blues with a dash of soul (5:30 p.m.); one of the best soul singers alive today with his killer horns and killer band, The James Hunter Six (7 p.m.); and blues shouter Shemekia Copeland will bust the sky (8:30 p.m.). Friday July 11: Rochester soul sister number one Danielle Ponder and the Tomorrow People — you’ve just got to hear this woman’s voice (5:30 p.m.); Grammy nominee and James Cotton’s guitarist Slam Allen (7 p.m.); Robert Randolph and the Family Band with Rochester’s Aaron Lipp on the organ, brings the sanctified, over the top revelation of the steel guitar (8:30 p.m.), hell yes! Saturday, July 12: Prepare to be wowed by bluesman Fred Vine’s Delta-rooted fleet finger work (12 p.m.); and equally wowed by Steve Grills (one of my favorite guitar players anywhere) and the Roadmasters’ allknowing stab at the blues (1 p.m.); Shine
gets funky for you (2:15 p.m.); Rochester’s own bluesmaster and bluesblaster Joe Beard (3:45 p.m.); don’t miss singer/songwriter Willie Nile as he brings his hip NYC vibe a la Garland Jefferies and Lou Reed (5:15 p.m.); Brooklyn’s Naomi Shelton & the Gospel Queens have the Daptone seal of approval (They’re on the label, By the way) so you know they’re good (6:45 p.m.); and you can truly experience the world with The Playing For Change Band (8:30 p.m.). Sunday, July 13: It’s Rochester’s rock ‘n’ roll queen bee Deborah Magone and her hard-working band (12 p.m.); hard rockin’ mainstays The Coupe de Villes play the coupe de blues (1:30 p.m.); Tommy Brunett will wow you with his Americana-rock mash-up — if you dig the Supersuckers country detour or Billy Joe Shaver, then you’ll love this band (3 p.m.); another chance to see Slam Allen (4:30 pm.); Glen David Andrews, who has recorded with Ivan Neville and Mahalia Jackson gets big and easy with his trombone (6 p.m.); and Kansas City’s Kelley Hunt will tickle the ivories silly while singing the blues (8 p.m.).

BRASS ROCK | DIRTY BOURBON RIVER SHOW
The Dirty Bourbon River Show — and seriously, it’s a show — regularly labels its music “New Orleans Gypsy Brass Circus Rock,” and it couldn’t be more accurate. The five-piece band (all insanely talented multi-instrumentalists) pushes for a sound that wraps the eclectic, iconic, and always strange nature of New Orleans into one alcohol-fueled set. The band formed in 2009 and has already released eight albums — clocking in at two per year since 2010 — and each album is a whirling, brass and accordion-filled trip through dark streets and back-alley bars. DBRS ringleader, and occasional trombone player, Charlie Skinner once told me that his “goal as an entertainer is to take you away to that special place where you kind of feel like you’re in New Orleans for a little while. You can let loose, you can party, you don’t have to give a flying f*** about what’s going one.” Dirty Bourbon River Show performs with Amanda Ashley on Sunday, July 13, at Lovin’ Cup, 300 Park Point Drive. 7 p.m. $5-$7.

JAM | THE HEAVY PETS
ROCK | CARL PALMER’S ELP LEGACY
The Heavy Pets have yet to achieve the recognition level of powerhouse jam bands like Dave Matthews Band and Phish but that day may not be far off. Sonically, the band transcends the typical jam band, and much of the sound can be attributed to the fact it has two accomplished lead guitarists — Jeff Lloyd and Mike Garulli. Of course, the work of Jim Wuest (keyboard, vocals), Tony D’Amato (bass), and Jamie Newitt (drums) are nothing to overlook either. The band jams out in many genres, like rhythm and blues and jazz-funk, and its plethora of musical chops translates seamlessly into each one. A must-see for jam band fans and awkward concert dancing.
Back in the 1970’s, when music was religion, Emerson, Lake, and Palmer were the God, Jesus, and Joseph of progressive rock. Ok, maybe Carl Palmer was the Holy Ghost. Either way, Palmer is considered to be one of the all-time greatest drummers; even Rolling Stone magazine ranks him among the top 10. Coming up with The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Palmer co-founded both ELP and Asia, the 80’s progressive pop supergroup. Among his current projects is Carl Palmer’s ELP Legacy, an instrumental power-trio that not only pays tribute but also blurs the lines with classically trained players Paul Bielatowicz (guitar) and Simon Fitzpatrick (bass). Sure enough, it rocks.

And he never rushes his releases — Maxwell took an 8-year hiatus before releasing his 2009 album, “BLACKsummers’night,” and there hasn’t been word since. But with a couple of Grammy Awards under his belt, Maxwell has found the routine that works for him. Maxwell will perform Monday, July 14, at the Kodak Center for Performing Arts, 200 W.

The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra (right) will perform Pixar in Concert on Saturday, July 12. The production will feature scores and video clips from all 14 of Pixar’s feature films. PHOTOS PROVIDED
Pixar scored Pixar in Concert ROCHESTER PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA DANIEL MEYER, GUEST CONDUCTOR SATURDAY, JULY 12 KODAK HALL AT EASTMAN THEATRE, 60 GIBBS STREET 7 P.M. | $15-$69 | 454-2100; RPO.ORG [ PREVIEW ] BY JAKE CLAPP
Only four composers have written scores for the 14 feature films produced by Pixar Animation Studios. Randy Newman, Michael Giacchino, Thomas Newman, and Patrick Doyle have each left their mark on a Pixar flick — and collectively won 10 Grammy Awards and three Academy Awards and earned another 10 Academy nominations for the films’ music. And like their films, each score is distinct and memorable. Randy Newman’s composition for “Monsters, Inc.” incorporates big band-inspired pieces — sometimes with a hint of oddity — that fits with daily city life in the busy Monstropolis. Giacchino captured the mystery and romance of Paris for his score to “Ratatouille,” with songs reflecting a relaxed European culture above ground and the fast-paced “rat race” life of its small protagonist in the sewers. And by including several jazz numbers, Giacchino makes “Ratatouille’s” music feel more intimate than many of its fellow Pixar scores. On Saturday, July 12, the Rochester Philharmonic will present Pixar in Concert, a performance of the scores with accompanying visual clips from each of Pixar’s 14 feature films. 20 CITY JULY 9-15, 2014
“They’re so different; they’re so fascinating,” says Daniel Meyer, who will guest conduct Pixar in Concert. Meyer is the music director for the Erie Philharmonic — which performed Pixar in Concert in March — and is director of the Asheville Symphony Orchestra. “‘WALL-E’s’ score is very much electronically influenced,” Meyer said in an interview last week, “and almost sounds like synthesizers the way [Thomas Newman] uses the instruments in the orchestra. You get these big, pompous, super-hero scores with ‘The Incredibles.’ It runs the gamut in terms of styles. It’s all well-orchestrated, and the music comes alive.” The concert is presented in medley form, with seven or eight minutes dedicated to each film. As the orchestra performs the score live, video excerpts from the corresponding film will be projected onto a screen on stage, with any non-orchestral elements, like original dialogue or sound effects, kept intact. The intent is to give an immersive experience to the orchestration behind the Pixar films. “These are very complicated scores,” Meyer said, “and they’re taxing from a technical standpoint: brass players playing at full-tilt and strings playing really fast 16th notes and really complicated configurations. The woodwinds are getting some really interesting configurations. Just the sheer challenge of the score itself is one issue, but the other issue, then, of course, is we have to very precisely coordinate what we do to the film.” To help keep the orchestra on track with the film projection, Meyer uses a click track designed to line up the tempo of the music with the film.
“Essentially what you’re watching is a Hollywood studio orchestra kind of coming alive in front of your eyes,” he said. As a musician and conductor, Meyer said, this can be somewhat “maddening,” since there isn’t much room allowed for interpretation. “We have to stick with the heartbeat that’s provided by the films themselves,” Meyer said. “It’s crucial that these musical moments line up perfectly with the film.” Still, he said he enjoys the Pixar in Concert program because of the connection audiences have with the material. “To look out into the hall and see parents sitting with children, grandparents sitting with grandchildren, people coming to hear the Rochester Philharmonic for the very first time in their lives and experiencing something so dramatic and so beautiful: it’s a powerful experience for the musicians and for me as a conductor,” Meyer said. “That’s the biggest payoff.” Pixar in Concert is the latest in RPO
performances that have incorporated a video element. In February, the RPO performed “Singin’ in the Rain” in much the same way, with the orchestration pulled out to be performed live, while original dialogue and sound effects are kept. Before that, the RPO presented “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” in July 2012, and “Fantasia” in November 2013. “It creates a fascinating experience,” said Richard Decker, RPO vice president of artistic operations. “I really noticed during ‘Fantasia’ and ‘Singin’ in the Rain,’ I was watching a really great movie but suddenly had the ultimate set of speakers.”
Decker said these film performances are part of his hope to interject more video elements into the RPO’s programming. He’s passionate about classical music and sees the use of video as a way to capture a diverse audience’s attention in a media-soaked society. “It’s something that we really feel is a trans-generational kind of product,” Decker said. “There’s been a lot of talk in the industry that we need to bring in younger audiences, things like that. I would like to change the conversation a little bit. What I would like to bring in are multi-generational audiences. We’re getting more people engaged in the Rochester Philharmonic.” Orchestras across the country are beginning to embrace these live film projects — due in part to the quality of the scores. In the late 1970’s, John Williams and other conductors re-embraced the orchestra — whose importance was significant in the silent film era — and its potential when creating music for films. Since, film scores have grown to be an essential part of storytelling, rather than just relegated to the background. The Pixar scores are “very well written and challenging scores for the orchestra to play,” Decker said. “That in itself is really rewarding to the orchestra. To be able to have a very confident conductor, to take this good music and put it all together and line it up with the video elements on the screen, it creates a real sense of pride and accomplishment. They can see the reaction of the audience. And they can see a lot of new faces, or a lot of families in this particular concert. That’s exactly what we want to see in Rochester.”

Tokyo native and Ithaca resident Kumi Korf will visit the MAG on July 24 with a screening of the award-winning short film “Hidden Books | the Art of Kumi Korf.” The following week, Mexico City native — now living in Henrietta — Juan Carlos Caballero Perez will speak about jewelry inspired by the life and death of his mother. Jeff Kell of Rush will lecture on his ceramic sculptures on August 21. The series’ final two weeks will feature Richard Hirsch of Churchville (August 28), who works with ceramic sculptures and encaustic paintings, and Kim Waale of Manlius (September 4), whose work at the MAG includes a room-sized installation.

Rochester-area native Philip Seymour Hoffman’s passing this past February shook the film community. Hoffman’s exceptionally versatile acting career spanned everything from a gay boom mic operator in “Boogie Nights” to an Oscarwinning portrayal of Truman Capote in “Capote.” The Dryden Theater is holding a two-part film series entitled “A Tribute to Philip Seymour Hoffman” honoring Hoffman’s legacy, the first part of which is running July through August. Part one of the series includes classic Hoffman performances from “Magnolia”, “Along Came Polly,” and “25th Hour.” Part I of “A Tribute to Philip Seymour Hoffman” continues on Wednesday, July 9, 8 p.m. with a screening of “Happiness” at the Dryden Theatre, 900 East Avenue. The film series runs every Wednesday through August 27. Admission is $8 for the general public and $6 for students and museum members.

Theater Magic Time at Caffé Cino “Coming Out at Caffé Cino”
PRESENTED BY BLACK SHEEP THEATRE COALITION FRIDAY, JULY 18, THROUGH SATURDAY, JULY 26 BLACK SHEEP THEATRE, VILLAGE GATE SQUARE, 274 N. GOODMAN STREET JULY 18-19, 24-26: 8 P.M.; JULY 20: 2 P.M. $16-$20 | 861-4816 BLACKSHEEPTHEATRE.ORG [ PREVIEW ] BY DAVID RAYMOND
When Joe Cino introduced performances at his Caffé Cino, he called out to the audience, “It’s magic time!” And the 1960’s at Caffé Cino were a magical time and place for experimental, politically radical theater. This tiny Greenwich Village venue was the birthplace of the OffOff-Broadway movement, and the plays that Joe Cino produced there on a shoestring were tremendously influential. Black Sheep Theatre Coalition hopes to rekindle some of that magic this month with “Coming Out at Caffé Cino,” a program reviving three one-act plays originally performed at Caffé Cino during that heady time of social change. Joe Cino, a Buffalo-born dancer, founded his café in 1958 at 31 Cornelia Street in Greenwich Village. Its bill of fare included free entertainment: folk music, art, readings — and new plays by young authors. They were performed on an 8 by 8 stage, with primitive sets lit by electricity that Cino’s lover Jon Torrey stole from the New York City power grid. Caffé Cino quickly became a beacon for serious, often politically radical playwrights who questioned traditional viewpoints about sexuality, war, politics, and human relationships. As the shows became more accomplished and more popular, they received more media attention and inspired other experimental theaters. Several Caffé Cino writers went on to win Tony Awards and Pulitzer Prizes, including John Guare (“Six Degrees of Separation”), Sam Shepard (“True West”), and Lanford Wilson (“Talley’s Folly” and “The Hot L Baltimore”). Caffé Cino even transferred a hit show to Off-Broadway: the 30’s movie musical spoof “Dames at Sea.” Black Sheep produced a Caffé Cinothemed evening in 2011, and director Kristy Angevine-Funderburk says she was approached soon afterward about directing another. 24 CITY JULY 9-15, 2014

“Coming Out at Caffé Cino” will open during Rochester’s Pride Weekend. Many of the Caffé Cino writers were gay, and their plays, including the three in this show, are among the first in American theater to examine gay characters and themes. They were written at a time when being gay made a man or woman a social outcast and the actors in this production, born well after the 1960’s, had to learn more about that closeted era and its dangers — as did the director. “I’m 41,” says AngevineFunderburk. “So this all happened before me, too. I needed a year’s worth of Darlando Eanon will portray Leslie Bright in “The Madness of Lady homework. We started the Bright,” as part of the upcoming production of “Coming Out at Caffé Cino.” The Black Sheep Theatre production will revive three production process early, one-act plays originally performed in the 1960’s at New York City’s because there were a lot of Caffé Cino.

They didn’t really Wilson’s recently rediscovered “Sex is know about the ‘Lavender Between Two People” is set, very daringly for Scare’ in the 50’s and 60’s, or that at that time, being outed meant you could be ruined for life.” 1965, in a bath house. “It’s a PG-rated version of a hookup,” Angevine-Funderburk says. “But while it shows two men connecting for sex, Joe Cino died in 1967, and Caffé Cino they obviously also want to have a more inclosed in 1968. But several of the Caffé Cino depth experience.” playwrights are still alive, and Angevine George Birimisa’s “Daddy Violet” was first Funderburk has had invaluable help from one produced in 1967, the year of the “Summer of them: Robert Patrick, who has written a of Love” and extensive Vietnam War protests. book about the theater and its legacy. It opens with three actors (France McCloskey, “He has a wealth of knowledge about the Dave Byrne, Louie Podlaski) doing plays, the authors, and the period, and he was pleased and willing to work with me,” Angevine- improvisational acting exercises, but the play soon turns into an exploration of sexuality Funderburk says. “He even helped with the and anti-war sentiments.

The concept of the apocalypse and especially its aftermath never ceases to fascinate science fiction writers and filmmakers. Whether it comes with a bang or a whimper, the end of the world makes for exciting cinema, but the day after doomsday provides the most promising subject for literature and film. Writers and directors employ a whole cornucopia of causes for the destruction of civilization; in

our time such events as machines running amok, plagues, and catastrophic climate change replace that old favorite, global thermonuclear war. An environmental incident, outlined on the screen, creates the situation in “Snowpiercer”— a substance released into the atmosphere generates a sudden immense drop in temperature all over the world, killing most of the population and returning the Earth to a new ice age. A back story appearing late in the picture explains that one brilliant inventor, a railroad magnate named Wilford (Ed Harris) foresaw the crisis and constructed tracks and an enormous train that circled the globe, providing refuge for survivors. Despite the utter implausibility of the premise, the movie follows the long tradition of dystopian science fiction, dealing with the world established inside that train. “Snowpiercer” opens that subject inside the carriages at the end of the train, dark, filthy, claustrophobic traveling hovels rather like the barracks of concentration camps, a resemblance

emphasized by the presence of armed guards who brutalize the inhabitants and by a stern officer named Mason (Tilda Swinton), who speaks with a German accent. She spells out the social structure of the train — first class passengers up front, economy class in the middle, and the group she calls freeloaders in something like steerage. The rigid class system is the brainchild of Wilford, who desires a world where people know their place and remain in it, because, somewhat tautologically, that’s the way it should be. One of the oppressed, Curtis (Chris Evans), leads a revolution, overpowering a contingent of guards, releasing a man who can open the many locks that separate the cars, and commanding his people in a series of bloody battles with the troops in Wilford’s private army. As the group progresses through the train, wreaking destruction, they encounter the levels of social class constructed in conformity with Wilford’s vision, moving through ascending strata of luxury and even decadence in their violent journey. In one of the most important moments they enter a schoolroom where the children accompany a filmed biography of Wilford’s life with a hymn of praise and creepy stylized salutes. When after a good deal of travail and several shootouts with a number of thugs, one of whom appears virtually immortal, Curtis finally meets Wilford, he learns some disturbing truths about the man, his vision, and his own place in the scheme of things. Wilford lectures him pleasantly on the

meaning of the train as a kind of allegory and the reasons for some of the horrible history that Curtis has participated in and some of the inhuman actions he has witnessed. The philosophy Wilford espouses resembles the sort of social Darwinism, leavened with doses of Hobbes and Malthus, so popular among right-wing thinkers and business schools. Though long and repetitive, like the train itself, “Snowpiercer” suggests it deserves a place among some of the classic works it draws upon — novels like “Brave New World” and “1984,” and films like Fritz Lang’s great “Metropolis,” which it copies and even in a sense updates. It also owes some debts to a wide and various array of post-apocalyptic dystopian movies, like “The Terminator,” “The Road Warrior,” and “Soylent Green.” The darkness and despair of the movie compensate for the essentially preposterous nature of its central premise. It alternates its frequent sequences of bloody violence — one torture scene shows something entirely new in the history of that practice — with a considerable amount of talky dialogue, some of it rather clumsily didactic. The director occasionally switches from all the claustrophobic interiors to long shots of the impossibly long train traversing bridges and plowing through snow drifts, deftly illuminating the class differences with gradually increasing lighting and a movement from a kind of chiaroscuro to soothing pastels. He suggests finally, however, that a dark future awaits us, speeding through an icy night.
We’ve nearly reached the midpoint of the summer season, meaning it’s once again time for the Rochester Jewish Film Festival, the JCC’s annual presentation of some of the world’s best in contemporary film focusing on the Jewish cultural experience. Now in its 14th year, the festival continues to expand, screening a record 27 films (including 19 narrative features, 8 documentary features, and 5 shorts) from 10 countries across the globe. Venues showing films include The Little Theatre (240 East Avenue), The George Eastman House’s Dryden Theatre (900 East Avenue), and the JCC Hart Theatre (1200 Edgewood Avenue in Brighton). Read on for a preview of some selections from this year’s lineup of films, then visit rjff.org for the full schedule and ticket information. Tickets can also be purchased over the phone by calling 461-2000. The RJFF’s opening night selection is “Bethlehem,” a wrenching, suspenseful thriller from Israeli director Yuval Adler, focusing on the relationship between an Israeli secret service officer and his teenage

Palestinian informant. For two years, Razi (Tsahi Halevi) has been using 17-year-old Sanfur (Shadi Mar’i) as a source to gather information on the boy’s brother, a topranking leader in the Palestinian militia. Over that time a bond has developed between the two; Razi has come to feel more like a father figure than anything else. Personal feelings have started to cloud his decisions, creating rippling consequences for the two men and the never-ending cycle of violence that they’re caught in. Screens Sunday, July 13, 7:30 p.m. at the Dryden Theatre. Israeli politico Yehuda Avner’s best-selling memoir provides the basis for Oscarwinning director Richard Trank’s glossy historical documentary “The Prime Ministers: The Pioneers,” the first of a two-part series providing an overview of Israel’s complicated political history. Avner himself narrates and serves as the film’s sole interview subject. Avner is knowledgeable, but the film would have benefitted from an additional pointof-view. As it is, Trank is forced to embellish Avner’s words with celebrity appearances (Sandra Bullock, Michael Douglas, Leonard Nimoy, and Christoph Waltz provide voiceovers) and an overbearing musical score, making for an exhaustive, but frustratingly surface-level history lesson. Screens Tuesday, July 15, 6 p.m., at the Little Theatre. The entertaining documentary, “Quality Balls: The David Steinberg Story” offers a breezy trip through the career of the titular influential stand-up comedian, best known for his hilariously satirical biblical sermons. Director Barry Avrich focuses almost exclusively on the professional side of Steinberg’s life, crafting a straightforward, chronological summary of Steinberg’s career, covering his entry into comedy, his frequent guest appearances on Johnny Carson’s “Tonight Show,” and finally as a director on episodes of some of the most popular sitcoms in recent memory, including “Seinfeld,” “Mad About You,” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” The frequent clips from the Steinberg’s routines are the
real highlight here, and that’s as it should be. Screens Thursday, July 17, 11 a.m., at JCC Hart Theatre. The RJFF partners with the ImageOut Film Festival for its presentation of the joyous comedy, “Cupcakes,” a candycolored confection about a friendly group of neighbors in an Tel Aviv apartment complex who come together when they decide to compete in a Eurovision-like pop songwriting contest. Skillfully directed by Eytan Fox (typically known for heartwrenching dramas like “The Bubble” and “Yossi and Jagger”), the film is a delightful change of pace for the filmmaker. Screens Thursday, July 17, 9 p.m. and Saturday, July 19, 4 p.m. at the Little Theatre. In the tense, politically-charged thriller “The Attack,” Ali Suliman (“Paradise Now”) plays Dr. Amin Jaafari, a respected Arab surgeon living in Tel Aviv, whose existence is shattered after he learns that a deadly suicide bombing attack on the city may have been carried out by his wife. Before he can even begin to process the double blow of losing the love of his life and facing the possibility that she may have been hiding such a terrible secret, he finds himself interrogated by Israeli authorities, who now suspect him of being a terrorist himself. As his life is stripped away, he grasps how tenuous his acceptance into Israeli society really was. Anchored by Suliman’s fantastic performance, the film offers a heartbreaking look at culture, identity, and the unfathomable mystery of human nature. Screens Sunday, July 20, 8 p.m. at Dryden Theatre. The RJFF closes out its year with the farcical heist comedy “Hunting Elephants,” in which a socially awkward teen teams up with his estranged grandfather to rob the bank that refuses to pay his father’s pension following his fatal heart attack. Silly, but uneven in tone (with an unfortunate misogynistic streak), the film’s biggest selling point is an agreeably daft performance from Sir Patrick Stewart. Screens Monday, July 21, 7 p.m., at Dryden Theatre.

sphere in Rochester. Residents from different neighborhoods travel outside of their comfort zones to see areas of Rochester they likely have never been to before. “It is slowly serving to unify neighborhoods as they all become part of a city-wide public art gallery,” he says. And on a global scale, Lehman says people in more than 104 countries tune in to see what Rochester is doing, as the festival and related events have caught the attention of renowned street art photographer Martha Cooper, various important art blogs, and The Huffington Post. Wall Therapy’s organizers began curating
off-season mural-making in 2013, with the August visit by Germany-based duo Herakut and various “Fall Therapy“ visits. This year, they’ve grown even more ambitious, hosting the graffiti-focused Writes of Spring weekend festival in April. And most recently, they hosted German artist Hendrick Beikirch, AKA “ECB,” and Puerto Rican artist Alexis Diaz, last June. Beikirch painted a massive grayscale portrait of a fisherman on River Street in Charlotte, and Diaz’s painstakingly fine-detailed work of a fishman can be seen on the Sun Fish Market building on King Street. Many of these artists are so jet-set, it’s hard to say when they will be where. Wilson says he heard that Diaz was finishing up at a festival held in Montreal,

and Wall Therapy seized the moment of proximity and invited him to come paint in Rochester immediately afterward. Last year’s mega project, which between announced and unannounced visitors, included what turned out to be thirtysomething artists, was a goal met in terms of volume of murals created in a short period of time. Wilson doesn’t foresee that scale as something that will be repeated, but rather a goal that was checked off the list. Now the team is looking forward to easierto-coordinate, more streamlined, more intimate gatherings of artists and more tightly curated subject matter. “It was time to do something different,” Wilson says. “One thing that we could do differently, that would help us stand out amongst the sea of mural events that are sweeping the world, is to curate a theme,” and select artists based on their specialty in portraiture. Drawing on walls may seem like a young
punk’s game, but graffiti is an ancient phenomenon found in cultures all over the world. The mark-making drive is innate, inherent in humanity, Wilson says. Street art too is nothing new, and has been one of the most democratic, immediate forms of communicating with one another. “Street art is one of the most accessible forms of art anywhere,” Wilson says. “It’s not hidden in a home or the hallowed halls or a museum, or behind some kind of

curtain or velvet rope. It’s out there in the streets, in a shared space.” Despite the long span of time of this form of art, it still feels fresh and new, Wilson says, because there’s really no rules in terms of composition, construction, or technique. “You can create a piece of street art which is a couple of centimeters, or it could be twelve stories high. It’s so freeform that it will stay fresh,” he says. There are street artists who have been commissioned to paint airplanes. Now you have “street art” soaring a mile up in the sky. There are
no formal constraints to that creativity, no bounds, and as such, it’s a sport among artists, many of whom strive to come up with the next new way to create. “Ultimately, we’re just a group of folks who love, live, and breathe art and for whom failure on this project is simply not an option,” Lehman says. “We put a lot of time and oftentimes our own money in when need be to make sure that everything is the absolute best it can be.”

Manor on Merriman
82 Merriman Street History and charm abound in this 3,000 square foot turn-of-the-century home, first owned by James G. Cutler, local architect, inventor of the Cutler mail chute, and mayor of Rochester from 1904 through 1907. With attentive care from four successive owners, historic features have been lovingly maintained and upgraded to honor a storied past while also offering today’s modern conveniences.
The curved front walkway is designed from bricks unearthed from the backyard, which is shaded by an expansive 80-foot tall copper beech tree said to have been gifted from George Eastman. The large front porch, a perfect gathering place, welcomes you into a spacious foyer, graced with the original tin ceiling and accented by a leaded glass window and ornate carved newel post. A corner powder room completes the entryway. With original hardwood floors and chestnut molding throughout, the expansive light-filled first floor provides a warm and welcoming space to relax and entertain. The parlor and living room are large and feature a decorative fireplace as the focal point. Open the original solid chestnut pocket doors into the dining room and a five-foot tall tile and wooden fireplace surround, bathed in natural light, beckons you into the room. The vast, completely updated kitchen, with a view of the generous backyard and easy access to the dining room, offers lengthy quartz countertops, complemented by stainless steel appliances and a center island/breakfast bar, illuminated by contemporary pendant lighting.
With two landings large enough for decorative side tables or several chairs, the staircase leads to the second floor, as light-filled as the first, and with an eight-foot wide hallway. Each of the generously-sized four bedrooms has closet space that would have been unusually ample for the period. The master bedroom boasts the home’s third fireplace as well as the master bath with clawfoot tub. The fully updated hallway bathroom includes double sinks, wide glass shower doors, and earth-toned ceramic floor and shower tile. A surprising bonus is the finished third floor (originally the maids’ quarters), which offers an additional 750 square feet of living space, including two bedrooms and additional rooms, ideal for guests, exercise, art studios, or storage. While years of history and original architectural detail transport the visitor to another time and place, the incredible spaciousness and open flow make this the perfect house for contemporary lifestyles, whether entertaining or finding a restful space of one’s own, surrounded by more than a century’s history. Located just a half-mile from the School of the Arts, and two blocks from the George Eastman House, the location is an easy walk to Park, East, and University Avenues, restaurants and cultural events. The house is listed through Nothnagle Realtors for $229,900. For more information contact Lanie Bittner at 585-389-4099. by Marian S.

State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.

Fun [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo has a huge, 350-student “viticulture and enology” program, preparing its majors for an industry critical to the state’s economy (and with a venerable international cachet) — but puritanical state law continues to hobble it. Many in Cal Poly’s four-year wine-making program must arrange for a fifth year — after they turn 21 — because, otherwise, faculty and administrators could be felons for “furnishing alcohol to a minor” when they assign students to taste their own class creations. The current California legislative session is considering allowing underage wine-making students to sip and spit.
Science on the Cutting Edge
— On dairy farms across the country, cows bizarrely queue up, without prodding, to milk themselves by submitting to $250,000 robots that have recently become the salvation of the industry. According to an April New York Times report, this advance appears to be “win-win” (except for migrant laborers watching choice jobs disappear) — more efficient for the farmer and more pleasant for the cow, which — constantly pregnant — usually prefers frequent milking. Amazingly, cows have learned the drill, moseying up to the precise spot to engage the robot’s arms for washing and nipple-cupping. The robots also yield copious data tracked from transponders worn around the cow’s neck. — Argentinian agricultural scientists in 2008 created the “methane backpack” to collect the emissions of grazing cows (with a tube from the cow’s rumen to the inflatable bag) in order to see how much
of the world’s greenhouse-gas problem was created by livestock. Having discovered that figure (it’s 25-30 percent), the country’s National Institute of Agricultural Technology announced recently that it will start storing the collected methane to convert it to energy. In a “proof of concept” hypothesis, it estimates that about 300 liters of methane could power a refrigerator for 24 hours.
Scientists Just Wanna Have Fun
— Bioengineers who work with Dictyostelium slime molds held the “Dicty World Race” in Boston in May for a $5,000 prize and intellectual adulation in August at the Annual International Dictyostelium Conference in Potsdam, Germany. The molds oozed down the 800-micrometer (0.0315 inches) track, lured to the finish line by ordinary bacteria that the molds normally enjoy. A team from the Netherlands beat out 19 others for the coveted prize. (Among the other “games” scientists play, mentioned in the same Nature.com story is the “Prisoners’ Smellemma,” in which players mix obscure samples in a test tube and smell the result to guess what their opponent used.) — Artist Diemut Strebe offered his 3-D-printed re-creation of the famous ear of Vincent van Gogh for display in June and July in a museum in Karlsruhe, Germany -- having built it partially with genes from a great-greatgrand-nephew of van Gogh -- and in the same shape, based on computer imaging technology. (Van Gogh reputedly cut off the ear himself, in 1888, during a psychotic episode.) Visitors can also speak into the ear and listen to sounds it receives.
[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 35 ]
[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t let your temper cost you emotionally. Get the facts before you make an impulsive move you will regret. Focus on the positives, not the negatives in any potential partnership, and you will find a way to strive for equality, allowing you to enjoy what you both have to offer. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Honest communication and consistency will be what attracts the perfect partner. Speak up and show your affectionate homebody side, and you will meet someone craving the same sort of stability and security that you want in your life. You are best not to mix
business with pleasure. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll lose interest if you are too giving. Try to keep any relationship encounter you have as equal as possible. It’s nice to want to do things for someone you love, but you also don’t want to get used up by someone willing to let you do it all. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’ll have a tendency to come on too strong, smothering and showing possessiveness that will not be appealing to the object of your desires. Step back and let potential partners come to you. This week, it’s good to be coy, which will help you draw someone special.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll be attracted to someone unique who can offer you an interesting lifestyle. Before jumping into a relationship feet-first, test drive the merchandise to find out if this is a good fit or just something you want to try once and move on. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Things are not likely to go your way when it comes to romance. Question anyone promising you the world. A change of heart is likely to take place once you’ve had time to get over the initial chemical impact of a passionate affair. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You will have lots of romantic choic-
es, but picking the right person will not be easy. Disillusionment based on what’s portrayed to you is present. Question motives and proceed with caution. If someone is too generous or accommodating, insincerity is probably involved and disappointment is likely to follow. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If you want to grab the attention of someone special, take action and do whatever is humanly possible to mesmerize your love interest with your magnetic personality and passionate innuendoes. Leave no room for error, misunderstanding or for someone else to move in on your territory.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your charm and exciting, adventurous persona will attract plenty of romantic interest; before you decide to engage in playful action with more than one partner, make a point to be perfectly honest regarding your present intentions in order to avoid disappointment or discord. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan. 19): Personal relationships and plans will not go according to plan this week. Go with the flow, accept the inevitable and refrain from taking over or making last-minute alterations that will make you appear fickle or uninterested. Focus on
stability, keeping the peace and compromising. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll encounter plenty of excitement if you get out and mingle, network or reconnect with people you were attracted to in the past. Love is on the rise, and making the first move will lead to interesting opportunities that are sure to bring greater stability to your personal life. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): What you want and what you settle for will leave you feeling cheated. Take a step back and don’t let your desire to be with someone cloud your vision. It’s important to be honest regarding your needs and true feelings.
