2012 Nazareth Arts Center Dance Festival The third annual Nazareth College Arts Center Dance Festival begins Thursday, July 12, and lasts through July 21, bringing a diverse range of dance forms to both the Nazareth stage and lawn. The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra kicks off the festival Thursday evening with a Dance Festival Overture led by Jeff Tyzik, which will include accompanying dance performances. Over the course of the festival’s 10 days, audiences will be exposed to a vast array of dance genres, including traditional Native American, highvoltage Latino, jazz-based modern, ballet, fusion, and cutting-edge contemporary.
This year’s headliners are Martha Graham Dance Company (pictured), Beth Gill Dance, Luna Negra Dance Theater, LehrerDance, Rochester’s own FuturPointe Dance, and the RPO, a welcome addition to the festival. The festivities will include a free outdoor performance of Phoenix Project Dance on the Memorial Art Gallery grounds, lectures, master classes, and the popular Dancing on the Grass programs featuring Daystar: Contemporary DanceDrama of Indian America and Flower City Ballet. Read on for interviews with several of this year’s artists, as well as a full schedule of events.

Cities’ problem not fed abandonment
Urban Journal’s “What I Saw in Detroit” (June 27) overlooks the fact that the federal government, through Johnson’s Model Cites Program, invested $450 million dollars to revitalize a 9-square mile section of the city (equivalent to $3.2 billion dollars in 2011), and in the past 34 months the federal government has awarded $1.015 billion more to be spent on projects in the city of Detroit. That’s hardly a nation deciding that cities no longer matter. The building block of society is a functional family, and government programs that keep paying people to have kids will never help to create that functional family. Politicians, in the quest for votes, have done something that white plantation owners in the South were unable to do: they have destroyed the black family. Detroit has been doomed by the politicians. That said, Detroit Mayor David Bing is a very courageous individual, and I wish him well. RENNY BOWERS, GREECE
Detroit’s problems come in part from the demise of the American auto industry, but mainly from much more. Fifty years of corruption (the last mayor is in jail and they are still finding the “deals” he had), long-time Mayor Coleman Young’s hatred of white people and their hatred of him, out-of-control unionism that produced work rules which ensured virtually no one worked, mind-boggling incompetence of politicians who promised benefits the city can never hope to pay. In short, Detroit did not die because anyone ignored it. Detroit died because its own people killed it. B SARBANE

The mural project
This is such a vital and magnificent addition to our community (“Wall Therapy,” July 4). Rochester could be a destination for mural art, like the Mission district in San Francisco. Much of the work there is in alleys and on garages, but it draws you in, leading to the entire front of Cesar Chavez Community School. How about painting the World of Inquiry or another school in our community? Murals are an outward expression of aspiration, and inspire those who witness them. Viva Rivera! ROB LEVY

City truants
There needs to be an open forum to discuss the “lots of research that supports this” (“Tackling Truancy,” July 4). If the city and county social services can get these truant kids to participate regularly in school without “criminalizing” the parents, I want to look at that program. In 2011, the graduation rate fell slightly to 45.5 percent. Many point to this as part of the problem. I’d like to see the program out from under wraps so we citizen stakeholders can make an evaluation of it. JIM STRAUSS

Blame the parents, not the teachers
Regarding the graduation rate in city schools: It does not take a village or, in this case a city, to raise a child. People can politicize all they want as to why the graduation rates are less than 50 percent. It’s not the teachers. It’s not for lack of books or programs. It’s not about poverty. What it is about is the parents. The parents are 100 percent responsible for what their children
do or do not do. I say hold the parents’ feet to the fire. Education is not all about buildings and teachers. If the parents cared one bit, they would make sure they know where their kids are. If they need to be in school, they should make damn sure they are. Period. Don’t be so quick to blame everything and everyone else for their shortcomings as parents. DAVID C. LOMBARD, WEBSTER
Be proud, Democrats!
I must speak out about elected Democrats who, when asked to comment on the Supreme Court’s ruling on the Affordable Care Act, come out with chicken-liver responses: “Oh, it’s an imperfect law. Oh, we need to improve on it,” and other weak replies. I say, Don’t be a Wuss; be a proud Democrat. In New York and many other states, some elected officials will not attend our National Democratic Convention, because they are afraid of how Republicans will paint them for doing so. As a grassroots organizer since 2007, and a 2008 and 2012 delegate for President Obama, my head wants to explode. Their main excuse? They want to spend more time with their constituents! What do they do on the other 51 weeks of the year? What about when they go on vacation? What about when a family or personal tragedy strikes? Or is the old adage true that “we only see politicians when they want our vote?” I say, Don’t be a Wuss; be a proud Democrat. The Republicans and Tea Party are united – maybe not to elect Mitt Romney but to bring down President Obama. The Republicans and the Tea Party want to dismantle Social Security and Medicare. Please stand with President Obama and the National Democratic Party at our convention. Don’t let the Republicans and the Tea Party steal the message. The Supreme Court ruled that the ACA is constitutional. We won. Don’t be a Wuss; be a proud Democrat. Explain to your constituents English how beneficial the ACA is to all Americans. Don’t run away from it. The president doesn’t. KEN PRESTON, IRONDEQUOIT

GUEST COMMENTARY | BY DONALD BARTALO
Always reforming, not always improving The teacher evaluation bill, passed by New York lawmakers on June 21, will give “limited public access” to teacher evaluations. Evaluation scores (not the names of teachers) will be posted on the State Education website. Parents will be able to see only the evaluation scores for their children’s teachers. Governor Cuomo has admitted that disgruntled parents might release teachers’ names using social media. The problem is that with the passage of this one bill into law, records of a teacher’s performance and evaluation, which up to now could not be released without written consent from the teacher, could be posted on the Internet for all to see. Here’s a little background: 2010: New York State wins nearly $700 million from the federally funded Race to the Top program. 2011: New York State Education Department sets four “reform goals”: tougher standards, robust data systems, rigorous teacher and principal evaluation systems, and interventions to turn around low-achieving schools. 2012: Governor Cuomo announces that a new statewide evaluation system will make New York State a national leader in holding teachers accountable for student achievement. The “carrot” in this matter is the additional Race to the Top funding available to school districts. The “stick” is teacher evaluations. In order to receive a share of the pot, school districts must develop a rigorous evaluation system that includes student achievement as 40 percent, improved professional development, and the removal of teachers and principals rated “ineffective” for two consecutive years. The public has been led to believe that the educational community came together in an “unprecedented show of support for the broad education reforms” detailed in the state’s Race to the Top application. The truth is that the educational community, including the teacher unions, came together for one purpose – to make sure they would receive the additional money to fill budget gaps and restore programs and staff. While helping teachers become more competent is certainly an important goal, that alone will not help competent teachers address the needs of students in schools with a high concentration of poverty, nor will it improve teaching. The kind of improvement that will make a difference for students requires much more than a rigorous teacher evaluation system.

Something even harder to understand is why the governor’s bill had the backing of the teachers unions. With a mountain of evidence to suggest that most districts are not ready to implement a rigorous evaluation system, it is obvious that the leaders of the teachers unions were not willing to “kill the goose that laid the golden egg” by withdrawing their support. To their shame, union leaders appear to be “fellow travelers” on the road to undermining public education. Keep in mind that any new evaluation system must rank teachers as highly effective, effective, developing, or ineffective. Ask the superintendent in your district if she or he feels any uncertainty about the reliability of the data and the related teacher rankings inherent in the evaluation system they must implement in the fall. They will probably tell you that the new evaluation system is a work in progress. Finally, are students, parents, teachers, school leaders, and board members really up to dealing with the fallout from this new law? Students will be confused by conflicting reports about their teachers. Parents will want only the best teachers for their children. But most important, teachers may have their reputations tarnished, only to find that the evaluation system used to judge them is based upon unreliable and invalid standardized test results. Standardized tests were never intended to evaluate teachers. They have only one purpose: to monitor student achievement over time. Unfortunately, teachers and school leaders will focus on standardized tests to an even a greater degree than they have in the past. Does anyone see the sad irony of this new evaluation legislation?

And there they were, the three words I’ve been thinking for a couple of weeks now, but didn’t dare say: “long, hot summer.” Most people, I think, associate them with the race riots of the 1960’s — or the 1958 Paul Newman film. The New York Post used them last week in a story on the city’s startling jump in deadly violence. Shootings are up 50 percent from last year, the Post said. Fourteen people were shot in a single day. But New York City isn’t alone. After years of a general downward trend in violent crime, cities all across the country suddenly find themselves cowering under a shower of bullets: Chicago, Syracuse, Denver, New Orleans. And Rochester. As of last Tuesday, Rochester had 95 shootings in 2012, compared to 55 for the same time last year. Homicides climbed from 15 to 21. And as troubling as the number is the nature of the shootings. Rochester has long struggled with urban violence, but there’s something about the present atmosphere that feels grittier: like we’ve suddenly gone from network to HBO. Is it the frequency of the shootings? The seemingly arbitrary nature? The lack of someone or something to blame other than, as officials say, the heat?
It’s an atmosphere that feeds on itself. The more unsafe people feel, police say, the more inclined they may be to carry weapons, which of course leads to even more violence. At a recent budget hearing, City Council members grilled Police Chief Jim Sheppard about the violence in the city. Sheppard’s response — that violent crimes are at alltime lows — was true, but cold soup for representatives with constituents afraid to let their children out the front door. Sheppard and Mayor Tom Richards announced a new neighborhood “cooldown detail” last week. The purpose, they said, is to keep minor disagreements from escalating. “The new detail will feature foot and team patrols and other methods of policecitizen interaction in areas that have seen incidents of violence stemming from disputes and arguments,” Richards said at the press conference announcing the initiative. But it feels like they’re soft-soaping a mini Zero Tolerance, former Mayor Bob Duffy’s infamous and controversial police crackdown. Police will take a “very aggressive stance,” Sheppard said, and will proactively stop people to try to head off confrontations and to get guns off the street. continues on page 7

IDA’s, by the numbers
Sibley sale is close
Last year, the Monroe County Industrial Development Agency approved more projects than any other IDA in New York, says a report from the state Authorities Budget Office. But those projects have not resulted in the most private investment. COMIDA approved 40 projects, totaling $81.7 million in private investment and approximately $1.5 million in various tax exemptions, the report says. The Niagara County IDA had 14 projects totaling $432.3 million in private investment and $4.4 million in exemptions. One of those projects is a massive $400 million paper mill, however, says an end-of-the-year slideshow from that county. The job creation figures are trickier. COMIDA says it’s gaining 494 full-time equivalent jobs through its projects, placing it among the top IDA’s in terms of job creation. Niagara, on the other hand, expects to gain 61 full-time equivalent positions. But the Niagara County IDA also anticipates the creation of 3,400 temporary construction jobs, while COMIDA expects 330. Colin O’Malley, organizing director with Metro Justice, says the tax breaks mean less money for school districts and local governments. So if the jobs don’t materialize or don’t pay particularly well, that raises questions about the value of the tax breaks to the community.
“There’s very little follow-up after the deals are brokered,” O’Malley says. Metro Justice belongs to statewide coalitions that advocate for clawback provisions, Colin O’Malley. which allow IDA’s to FILE PHOTO recover tax money when companies don’t live up to their promises. For comparison, here’s how a few other IDA’s stack up, according to the Authorities Budget Office report: • The Amherst IDA reported investments of $119 million for five projects, approximately $672,000 in tax exemptions, and a gain of 496 full-time equivalent positions. The projects created 41 FTE construction jobs. • The Erie County IDA reported five projects totaling approximately $20 million in private investment and $636,500 in tax exemptions. It expects an increase of 18 fulltime equivalent positions and created 145 FTE construction jobs. • The Onondaga County IDA reported four projects with $23.1 million in private investment and $325,800 in tax exemptions. It expects an increase of 40 full-time equivalent positions and created 236 FTE construction jobs.

NEIGHBORHOODS | BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN
Pocket park planned for Monroe Fred Rainaldi Jr. says putting a pocket park at the corner of Monroe Avenue and Amherst Street, next door to the former Show World adult video store, will help transform the appearance and “vibe” of the area. The final design isn’t ready yet, Rainaldi says, but park elements that are being talked about for the 3,000 square foot space include sculpture, lighting, landscaping, bike racks, path, ornamental garden, and an electric car charging station. There could also be approximately 10 parking spaces rimming the park. At a recent meeting of the Upper Monroe Neighborhood Association, Rainaldi talked about the possibility of broadcasting movies inside the park, onto Show World’s outside wall. It would pay homage, in a way, to the building’s former life as Monroe Theatre. Rainaldi says he’s still looking for a show stopping feature for the park. In addition to being an urban gathering space, Rainaldi says he hopes the park will be used as performance space for local bands, theater groups, and others.
“This is a passion project for our company,” he says. Monroe Goodman Associates, of which Rainaldi is developer and manager, will own the park and be responsible for security and maintenance, Rainaldi says. Neighbors are enthusiastic about the project, says Carolyn Curry, chair of the Monroe Village Task Force. “The neighborhood is all for it,” she says. “I’ve never had such united support for something as the pocket park.” The park will bring much-needed greenery to a heavily commercial corridor, Curry says. A woman at the Upper Monroe meeting said that the park will be a welcome boost to the culture of Monroe, which is currently dominated by bars. She works hard to keep up her property, she said, and it’s discouraging to regularly find bottles, drug paraphernalia, and other trash in her garden. Curry says that if people use the park regularly, that should keep the undesirable element out. The same principle applied to

the artistic benches that the Task Force and the Monroe merchants group put up in the area, Curry says. “We were a little nervous and everybody asked the same question, ‘How are you going to keep people from sleeping on it?’” Curry says. “And the answer turned out to be, if regular people use it, it’ll be theirs.” Rainaldi says he hoped the park would be finished this summer.
Plans for the Monroe Avenue-Amherst Street area have evolved from a townhouse project, to a commercial project, to the park. Rainaldi says the market would not support the townhouse project, and City Council member Elaine Spaull says there’s already a glut in the retail market there.

RCSD submits new evaluation plan The latest evolution in teacher evaluations ironed out between the Rochester Teachers Association and the city school district is extremely complex. And it’s hard to tell if it will provide much clarity about teacher performance. “It makes a bad system less bad,” says RTA President Adam Urbanski. But failure to reach agreement to implement the state’s Annual Professional Performance Review law would have put $40 million in funding and more than 400 teacher positions at risk in the 2012-2013 school year, he says. In a July 6 letter to RTA members, Urbanski says that the APPR “is neither our idea nor a good law.” The toughest negotiations between the RTA and the Rochester school district were over the impact of student absenteeism on teacher evaluations. New York State United Teachers, the state’s largest union, has argued for months that in a fair evaluation system, teachers City

can’t be held accountable for students who haven’t been in school at least 80 percent of the year. It shouldn’t surprise anyone, they say, that those students aren’t likely to pass state tests. The latest plan, which still has to be approved by the State Education Department, addresses some of the union’s concerns. The APPR is basically divided into three main components, with 20 percent of the evaluation based on how students perform on standardized state tests. The state has not indicated that adjustments will be made to this portion of the APPR, Urbanski says, regardless of a student’s attendance record. But another 20 percent of the evaluation is based on tests used at the local level. The RTA and the district have agreed on a set of formulas that will adjust the teacher’s evaluation in proportion to the student’s attendance and other issues. The formulas do not alter students’ test scores. But they do factor in student
attendance, poverty level, English language skills, and special education classification when measuring teacher performance against test scores. The local tests will also be what educators call “authentic and performance-based.” Unlike multiple choice tests, which are designed to test the student’s ability to find correct answers to questions, authentic assessment examines whether the student understands how to use the information. For example, instead of asking a kindergarten student to mark the picture of a shoe tied correctly, the student might be asked to tie a shoe, Urbanski says. The latter, according to some educators, provides a deeper understanding of the student’s skills. The remaining 60 percent of the APPR is based on observations of teacher performance. And teachers have a say in how this portion will be conducted. They can choose to have their supervisor, typically the school principal or vice principal, evaluate and score them. A
second option is to split the evaluation between a supervisor and a master teacher. This would allow a teacher to be observed by another teacher who is highly skilled in the same subject area. The third option is to split the evaluation with a supervisor, and for the remaining portion, a teacher can work as part of a team of teachers on a special project. The entire team, not the individual teacher, would be evaluated on the success of the project. Teachers would also be required to work with teachers and parents in their schools to come up with a plan to reduce student absenteeism. The average absenteeism rate for the district last year was about 10 percent, Urbanski says. “But some schools have much higher absentee rates and other schools have lower rates,” he says.

“If you have no bell on your bike, we’re going to stop you,” Sheppard said. “If your tail light is out, we’re going to stop you.” But some civil rights advocates say it’s a wrongheaded strategy that will only further alienate people who don’t have great relationships with law enforcement to begin with. “If anything, it’s a recipe for racial profiling and civil rights abuses,” says KaeLyn Rich, director of the Genesee Valley Chapter of the NYCLU. “I think it’s going to have the opposite effect of what they want. It’s not going to build better police-community relations if people are distrustful of the police because they’re being constantly stopped and harassed.” And that’s ironic, because both Sheppard and Richards put the onus for ending the violence on the community. Few of the shootings have resulted in arrests, and Sheppard says that’s because people aren’t cooperating with police. Some of these shootings have multiple witnesses, he says, yet no one comes forward. Bryan Hetherington, chief counsel for the Empire Justice Center, says part of the reason may be that they fear retaliation, but also that police have not established positive relationships in the affected communities. “The issue isn’t police presence,” he says. “The issue is what do the police do when they’re present? Are they essentially stereotyping? Because that’s what the bells on bikes stuff is.” Hetherington says he knows that police officers would disagree, but that’s how it feels to the people who are being stopped, many of whom are on bikes because they can’t afford a car. “That makes it hard when you go and say, ‘Hey, we’re on the same team and we need your cooperation.’” Everybody’s looking for answers. A recent story in the Syracuse Post-Standard blames gangs for the city’s violent surge. A story in the New York Post, with the understated headline “City Shot to Hell” says: “Cops blamed the bloodbath on rising temperatures and increased scrutiny on the controversial stopand-frisk procedure.” There is no simple answer, Hetherington says, and the pursuit of one is part of the problem: “Everybody’s looking for the silver bullet: ‘If we just….’” Nah. At the end of the day, these problems get fixed not with a simple, universally effective program. They get fixed by fixing a lot of the upstream stuff.” That includes, he says, building better relationships between law enforcement and the community, finding ways to end the “machismo” culture some people have in the city, encouraging long-term rentals instead of month-to-month so people have more investment in their neighborhoods, and focusing on restorative justice — making amends — rather than punishment.

Dining example of its kind — the spice layered on with a judicious hand to deliver something savory but not overwhelming. I can honestly say that it was the first pad Thai I’ve ever had where I could taste something other than the sauce and actually appreciate the noodles and other ingredients.

Putting China back in Chinese food Chakara Bistro & Bar 7328 Pittsford-Palmyra Road, Fairport 223-8101, eatchakara.com Lunch: Tuesday-Saturday 11 a.m.-3 p.m.; Dinner: Tuesday-Thursday 4:30-10 p.m., Friday-Saturday 4:30-10:30 p.m.; Sunday noon-9:30 p.m. [ REVIEW ] BY JAMES LEACH
In 2009, Chef San Lee made a clean break with the past, closing his successful restaurant China Garden in Henrietta and, as his son Brandon put it, “taking a break” from more than 30 years of restaurant cooking. The chef took a vacation and started to consider what he wanted to do next. The elder Lee never set out to be a chef at all. In his youth in China he had trained to be an engineer. It was only when he emigrated from China, following his brother to the United States, that he found himself working in a restaurant kitchen. He learned, and then perfected, the American canon of kung pao chicken, sweet-and-sour sauce, shrimp in garlic sauce, and all the variations on General Tso’s chicken.
Chef Lee’s newest restaurant, Chakara Bistro & Bar, in Fairport is in many ways an homage to that cuisine — but it is also a radical departure from it. Chakara is Lee’s attempt to invert the American-Chinese menu by making it more Chinese-American, reinventing Chinese food for a generation of diners who are more adventurous and more urbane than their grandparents, the generation for whom American-Chinese food was developed. Look closely at the menu at Chakara and
you will see what I mean. At first glance, the compact menu doesn’t look familiar. But start parsing ingredients and things jump out at you. Kurobuta honey pig ($12), for instance, sounds pretty exotic. Add up the ingredients, though — pork loin, pineapple, and bell peppers in a “sweet tangy sauce” — and what you have is sweet-and-sour pork. Tiger shrimp rolls ($5) — deep fried and filled with goat cheese and ground shrimp, served with a sweet, fragrant dipping sauce — are a riff on crab rangoon. Mongolian beef ($13), served over handmade spinach noodles, benefits from an agreeable — and surprising — blackbean sauce funkiness. Chicken in garlic sauce
($14) looks very familiar, too; a colorful stirfry with julienned carrots, shredded celery, broccoli, and snow peas. But the secret is in a sauce enriched with nearly scandalous amounts of garlic, a bit of burnt orange peel, and just a whisper of Szechuan peppercorn to wake up the palate. Your grandmother would recognize the dishes, but the flavors would probably take her by surprise. Chef Lee, though, doesn’t stop at his reinterpretation of the American-Chinese canon. He also expands on it, casting a wide net that encompasses curries and stir fries from Thailand; a bit of hibachi-style cooking, gyoza, edamame, and seaweed salad from Japan; and a wide swath of popular Vietnamese dishes, including papaya salad, fresh spring rolls, and pho. He even throws in some pretty amazing bread and pastry work. You can get pad Thai at Chakara, but unless you are paying attention you might not realize that mee Siam ($12) is the name of that spicy-smoky assembly of rice noodles, shrimp, bean sprouts, egg, and chicken. The first time we ordered it, we were pleasantly surprised and a bit perplexed when our server delivered the dish, and then delighted when we discovered that it was an exceptional
the house while his father holds down the kitchen, maintains that part of the mission of his restaurant is to offer a lighter take on panAsian food. But my hands-down favorite item on the menu at Chakara is the butternutcrab curry ($19), two meaty and just slightly crunchy soft-shelled crabs stir-fried with tomato, scallion, and tender butternut squash and finished with an amazingly complex curry sauce mounted with coconut milk. The dish is almost too pretty to eat, and the primal pleasure of dismembering and then biting through the shells of the crabs is not to be missed. Usually I ignore my rice, but with this dish I considered asking for more so that I wouldn’t have to give up even a molecule of the delicious sauce. On our first visit to Chakara, we took a winger on an odd-sounding dish of Malaysian bread with a curried dipping sauce ($4) as an appetizer. Again, Chef Lee surprised me: his “Malaysian bread” is in fact a wide, flat croissant — flaky, buttery, and utterly delectable with a peppery curry sauce to cut through all of that fat. The same bread acts as a platform for a dish that the menu simply calls “China” ($15) — beef braised in “13 spices” along with leeks and scallions, which arrives at the table in a gust of fragrant steam. By the end of the meal, I had abandoned decorum altogether and used the round bread as a kind of bastard pita or gordita shell, wolfing down tender beef and allium and then mopping the plate. (Incidentally, the tiny bit of the bread that remained made an equally excellent sop for the crab curry sauce, too.) On my final visit to Chakara, I was forced to bring my 7-year-old dining companion along with me (if you happen to know a good sitter, do contact me). Normally, I would hesitate to bring him along to a place as swanky as this — white tablecloth joints and small fry don’t tend to mix well. I need not have worried. Former lab assistant and now head waiter Andrew Patterson provided service that was so well paced, efficient, and friendly that I was convinced he could read my mind, and that of my kid, about half the time. Even if Chef Lee’s food weren’t stellar (it is, though), the quality of Patterson’s service could almost carry the weight of the entire restaurant. rochestercitynewspaper.com

Thursday, July 12 Riverside Festival Site, Court Street & Exchange Boulevard 5 p.m. | $2 | rochesterevents.com [ ALTERNATIVE ] Formed in 2004, this group first toured
and released an EP as The Jakes. Line-up changes and a deal with Roadrunner Records led the band to change names in December 2009. Since then, Young the Giant has gone on to tour with bands such as Neon Trees and Incubus. Its sound is polite and poppy, with just enough fuzz to be filed under “alternative.” Despite some, let’s say, unenthusiastic reviews of its eponymously titled debut album, the band’s appearance on the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards propelled the act to a meteoric level of commercial success. Nashville’s, The Apache Relay, whose sound is an interesting mix of distortion, well-structured melodies, and, yes, a fiddle, will open the Party in the Park on Thursday. — BY DAVID YOCKEL, JR.

Tears to a heathen’s eyes [ review ] by frank de blase
The Indie Music Channel brought its Indie Music Revolution Festival to Water Street Music Hall this past weekend. The event boasted a cornucopia of young talent, including plenty of stuff from the home team. I caught Methanol Friday as the band blasted its big rock with hooks. This group has really settled into a solid groove and has transcended its influences; it owns its own brand of rock ’n roll. Methanol ended its set with guitarist White Mike smashing his guitar a la Townshend, to my secret delight. Saturday brought night No. 2 of the revolution. Brooklyn Haley — a new teen sensation who wouldn’t stop texting while I tried to talk with her — was on stage track singing as I made the scene. It was pop fluff that the kids seemed to dig. But then Rochester’s Melia came out like a torpedo, or, more accurately, a black-andpurple pinball in hot pants. She not only performed but commanded an eager crowd pushed up to the stage, all the people in it seemingly having a working knowledge of the Melia songbook. Then Melia strapped on her steely Les Paul and let fly. This lady can shred. Her songs are complex, but not too heavy; sweet in spots, but they don’t
leave you walking away with a toothache. It was to Melia’s credit that the Indie Music Channel put Rochester in its crosshairs to begin with, as she had won three awards at The Indie Music Channel Awards in Hollywood for Best Female Rock Artist, as well as Best Rock Song and Song of the Year for her tune, “Just a Bride.” For a soulful 180, Ronnie Lickers performed with his Goodbye Ronnie outfit for a set full of stark wonder and dusty atmosphere. I love the new record. It caught me off guard, like Joe Henry’s “Tiny Voices.” Between getting clobbered for two nights at Water Street, I spent a beautiful day at the Corn Hill Arts Festival’s Gazebo Stage, where I got to hear some Big Easy, not-too-greasy New Orleans/Dixieland stroll from The Roc City Stompers, some analog dub-step with Roots Collider, and the classic bluesy swing with the always stylin’ and profilin’ Electro Kings. I made my way over to the main stage where The Campbell Brothers were laying it down hard. They were smack in the middle of a foot-stompin’ gospel throw-down. The Campbells never fail to bring tears to this heathen’s eyes. Hallelujah!

those amplifiers. It was like splitting the atom at that time.

Savage surf Dick Dale w/Roar Shark Friday, July 13 Water Street Music Hall, 204 N. Water St. 8 p.m. | $25 | waterstreetmusic.com [ PROFILE ] By Frank De Blase
With its blurred staccato of rapidly picked notes, its rhythmic thunder, and the roar of its reverb-drenched volume, the music of surf-guitar godfather Dick Dale is full-on primal, savage, and untamed. It’s the call of the wild, the scream from the jungle. It’s big, bad, and menacing. This master of the Stratocaster’s rhythm, volume, and musical imagery have made him one of the greatest and most influential guitarists of all time. As with all rock ’n’ roll, Dale blames it on the beat. “I got all my rhythms from Gene Krupa,” Dale says via phone from his hotel room somewhere in land-locked Colorado. “That’s where I learned to pick like that. It was the rhythms he [Krupa] learned from the natives, the indigenous tribes throughout the world, the way they’d count 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4 — the way they’d pound their spears on the ground. That’s where he got his count when he’d play the drums. 12 City JULY 11-17, 2012
Whereas other people played on the one and the off beat, he played on the one beat. And that’s where everybody counts; the grassroots people that aren’t musicians, they count on the one. So I play on the one and that’s why everybody feels what I do. So no matter what kind of music I play — Latino, soft music, music like Harry James, country music — it’s all done on the one. That’s why people can feel it.” Feel it, and hear it. Dick Dale is loud, baby. By the time Leo Fender and speaker company JBL designed amplifiers and speakers that could withstand Dale’s abuse, he had already blown up close to 50 amps, some literally catching fire on stage. Dale would floor these amps until they gave up the ghost, and he also strung his upside-down, southpaw guitar with 60-gauge strings (almost twice the gauge of those used by most guitar players.) But this was the late 1950’s, after all, and nobody had heard anything like Dick Dale and The Del-Tones. Technology needed to catch up as more and more kids were catching on. In response to Dale’s sonic demands and the carnage left in its wake, the Fender Dual Showman piggy-back amp was born along with the JBL 15” D130 speaker. “I wanted to make it big, like Krupa’s drums,” says Dale. “That’s why we created
Rendezvous Ballroom in Balboa, California, in the late 1950’s —where Dale made his debut — as well as the kids that pile in to see him today, don’t get hung up on the how-to or the what-for. It’s all about the music and its inescapable power; power that came from the drums as well as the wild and the ocean. “It was a mixture of three different things,” says Dale. “I was raising my lions and tigers. I had over 50 species of animals from all over the world, preserving them from poachers so they wouldn’t go into extinction. I would listen when they’d cry to me when they wanted to eat — the big growling of my lions and the screaming of my mountain lions, the elephants — I would imitate those sounds with my guitar. And then it went into the ocean.” That’s where most people envision Dale’s music: hanging 10 amidst the rapidly picked droplets of water, the whoosh of the chords’ salty spray, the thunderous crash of the reverberating waves. It’s Mother Nature doing The Twist. Dale’s music is unmistakable, and has been used in commercials and movie soundtracks including the opening scene of Quentin Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction,” where the brutal and violent beauty of Dale’s “Misirlou” sets the tone for the whole film. Dick Dale continues to tour the world, playing music from a discography of more than 12 albums, numerous singles, and countless compilations. He has been putting out records since 1962’s “Surfer’s Choice” and yet night after night the sound is fresh; you can practically smell the ocean, you can hear the lions roar. “Every night it’s different,” says Dale. “I never follow a list. I go out into the audience, I see what’s going on; I start a song, I don’t finish it. We’re halfway in a song and my brain will tell me to do something else. I never rehearse, I never practice. I make it all up as I play.”

BLUES | Sister Sparrow and The Dirty Birds
This year’s Big Rib BBQ & Blues Fest — running July 12-15 — will feature another titillating bill of fare, including some delectable dietary supplements from some of the country’s most accomplished rib masters, paired with a musical menu that will be just as soulful as the food. Among the acts that will grace the main stage during the four day festival is the Brooklyn-based blues powerhouse Sister Sparrow and the Dirty Birds. Arleigh (lead vocals) and Jackson Kincheloe (harmonica) grew up in the Catskills, where they were raised by a country-singing mother and percussionist father. The two siblings moved to New York City in 2008 and began performing as a duo. Brother and sister quickly realized that the sound called for a full backing band. After recruiting another family member, cousin Bram Kincheloe, they added one talented and versatile musician after another until they became the blazing nine-piece outfit they are today. With a knack for blending ardent blues, “new-school” funk, and some down home rock and roll, this filthy flock has put a new spin on the classic soul sound.

R&B | Robin Thicke
Though his father, Alan, is best known for his acting, Robin Thicke has made a considerable name for himself in the music world, with multiple albums reaching the Top 10 of the Billboard charts. Most recently, Thicke’s album “Love After War” puts his penchant for updated, romantic soul on display. The album has spawned three separate radio singles, and features contributions from Lil Wayne. Thicke is in town as part of the Rochester SummerFest, for the final evening of the three-day festival. Monica, Elle Varner, Melanie Fiona, and Bobby V all open the show.

New Wave | The B-52s
Take away the oddball party anthems “Love Shack” and “Rock Lobster” and The B-52s’ legacy as alternative trailblazers stands as firmly as ever. The band’s discography of postpunk, New Wave, genre-be-damned music has woven itself into the fabric of music’s past and present, leaving behind a neon streak. Only guitarist Ricky Wilson, who died in 1985 due to complications from AIDS, is missing from the original line-up. So rest assured, a B-52’s concert in 2012 features the same loveable camp and sing-along vocals that Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson, Keith Strickland, and Cindy Wilson pioneered in an Athens, Georgia, basement circa 1976. Squeeze also plays as part of the Summer Dance Party bill.

CLASSICAL | Eastman Summer Sing
What a brilliant idea: open the air-conditioned Kilbourn Hall and let the public have a chance to heat it up with choral masterworks under the baton of William Weinert (pictured). Weinert, professor of conducting and ensembles at Eastman School of Music, leads the Summer Sings every Tuesday night in July. For many who participate, it’s an annual tradition. The line-up for this summer includes Handel’s “Messiah” (July 17) and Bach’s “Magnificat” (July 24). Another opportunity to join in with the intimate, a cappella group Musica Spei occurs on Wednesday nights through August 8 at St. Anne’s Church (Rochester); see City’s Summer Guide or the Musica Spei website for details.

Nazareth Arts Center Dance Festival [ PREVIEW ] BY CASEY CARLSEN
2012 Nazareth Arts Center Dance Festival
Thursday, July 12-Saturday, July 21 Nazareth College Arts Center, 4245 East Ave., and other locations artscenter.naz.edu/dance-festival
he third annual Nazareth College Arts Center Dance Festival begins this week and lasts through next weekend, bringing a diverse range of dance forms to both stage and lawn. The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra kicks off the festival Thursday evening with a Dance Festival Overture led by Jeff Tyzik; the evening will include accompanying dance performances. Over the course of the festival’s 10 days, audiences will be exposed to a vast array of dance genres, including traditional Native American, high-voltage Latino, jazz-based modern, ballet, fusion, and cutting-edge contemporary. This year’s headliners are Martha Graham Dance Company, Beth Gill Dance, Luna Negra Dance Theater, LehrerDance, Rochester’s own FuturPointe Dance, and the RPO, a welcome addition to the festival. The festivities will include a free outdoor performance of Phoenix Project Dance on the Memorial Art Gallery grounds, lectures, master classes, and the popular Dancing on the Grass programs featuring Daystar: Contemporary Dance-Drama of Indian America and Flower City Ballet. Ticketed evening performances take place in the recently renovated Callahan Theater and in Studio A48, the Arts Center’s intimate black box theater with limited seating. See the sidebar for a full schedule of events. The big name at the festival this year is the
Martha Graham Dance Company, an icon of contemporary dance since its founding by Graham in 1926, right after she spent a pivotal year teaching at the Eastman School of Music. Women from her Rochester dance class were, in fact, part of her original company in New York City. Undisputedly the mother of modern dance, Graham influenced generations of choreographers and dancers, including Merce 16 City JULY 11-17, 2012
Cunningham, Paul Taylor, Twyla Tharp, Margot Fonteyn, Rudolf Nureyev, and Mikhail Baryshnikov. In 1998, Time Magazine named Graham the dancer of the century. Graham died in 1991, but “she was an icon upon whose shoulders we all still stand,” says Rochester’s Christine Fendley, artistic director of Park Avenue Dance. Fendley studied for several years under Ethel Butler, one of Graham’s first generation of dancers. “Her movements resonate with people in a very visceral way,” Fendley says. Those movements are grounded, angular, sharp, elemental and violent. They are emotionally evocative, depicting the buoyancy of being in love or the slumped-over posture of depression. Graham sought to express emotional, spiritual, and sexual truths without compromise at a time when demure grace was the norm in dance. Janet Eilber, artistic director of the Martha Graham Dance Company since 2005, and a principal dancer under Graham for many years, recently spoke with City from her home in Los Angeles, and shared some insights. “She wanted to find a way of moving that evoked inner landscape,” Eilber says. “It was still the era of escapism in dance — swans and princesses and all that. Martha was the first to utilize the physical vocabulary that already resides in the body.” “Emotion rides on the breath. When you laugh or cry, that comes from the center of your body. Martha focused on that. Her famous ‘contract and release’ is all about breath. When you inhale, your body opens, expands, and you experience release. When you exhale, your body coils back in on itself and you experience contraction,” Eilber says. “Her core idea was that all physical vocabulary generated from the power of the torso. I like to say that Martha discovered the pelvis way before Elvis,” she says.

As for Graham’s legendary tempestuous personality, “Martha could be funny and she could terrorize you,” Eilber says. “She used whatever it took to draw what was needed for the performance without batting an eye. She herself was anything she wanted to be at any given moment. A theatrical genius.” Graham’s father was a psychiatrist who worked out of their home. According to Eilber, Graham learned from those childhood encounters that the patients’ mental and emotional challenges were shown in the way they moved. “The essence of her genius was that she could read people so well,” Eilber says. “She possessed an innate understanding of who was in front of her. And then she turned that body language into theater. In a nutshell, that is why she was so earth-shattering.” Eilber leads the company today by continuing to showcase Graham masterpieces while commissioning Graham-inspired work from top contemporary choreographers; look for a Doug Varone piece to be premiered by the company later this summer. Rochester audiences will have the chance to see two different, full-evening programs as part of the Nazareth Dance festival. Program A, taking place Friday, July 20, includes “Prelude and Revolt,” a suite of dances connected by narration and digital media that
illustrate the evolution of Graham’s unique dance theater and distinctive movement vocabulary, and which underscores Eilber’s efforts to enlighten the public as to Graham’s weighty influence on contemporary dance. “Embattled Garden” (1958) and “Appalachian Spring” (1944) will also appear in Program A. “Garden” is a steamy tragicomedy examining temptation and betrayal in the Garden of Eden, while the masterpiece “Spring” is Graham paying homage to optimistic young love. In this perennial favorite, a newlywed couple reverently constructs its home. The rousing score is by American composer Aaron Copland, one of the many top artistic talents Graham collaborated with throughout her career. Program B, taking place Saturday, July 21, includes “Witch Dance” (1926), “Every Soul is a Circus,” “Lamentation Variations,” and “Diversion of Angels” (1948). “Witch Dance” is an innovative contemporary dance created by the German choreographer Mary Wigman, featuring a masked dancer who leads us to contemplation of our inner and outer selves. “Every Soul is a Circus” is true dance theater, a comedy whose main character is a ballerina who sees herself as a star. Eilber points out that Graham’s depiction of this character watching herself, so to speak, is an example of simultaneous narration and

a parallel to the way Abstract Expressionists used this concept in their art work. “It was total genius for her to put simultaneous narration on stage in a dance that way, and another way that she crossed artistic boundaries,” Eilber says. Eilber combines genres herself in this evening’s program by including a film of Graham in the presentation of “Lamentation Variations,” an ode to Graham’s iconic solo in which the company dances three different variations created by contemporary choreographers of note. “Diversion of Angels,” a lyrical ensemble work that joyously explores the infinite aspects of love, will complete the evening’s program. Another choreographer highlighted at this
year’s festival is Beth Gill, the first recipient of the new juried New York State Dance and Performance Award, more commonly known as a Bessie Award, created in partnership with Nazareth College to honor the most interesting and exciting dance in New York City today. Gill also won the 2011 Bessie for Outstanding Emerging Choreographer. The piece Gill will be showcasing, “Electric Midwife,” was chosen by Time Out New York as Best Dance of 2011. Gill also holds the distinction of being listed as one of Dance Magazine’s “25 to Watch” in 2012. Gill has been choreographing since graduating from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts in 2003 and currently works out of Brooklyn. Her pieces have already been commissioned by such renowned dance organizations as The Kitchen, Dance Theater Workshop, and The Chocolate Factory Theater. Gill is known for the formalism of her style, in particular, for her exploration of the structural concept of symmetry through almost mathematically concise arrangement of her dancers — and even the audience — in any given performance space. “Electric

Midwife” features three sets of female dancers conveying three-dimensional mirrored symmetry through the execution of the same movements using opposite limbs. The 45-minute long piece premiered in New York City last year to enthusiastic reviews and wait lists for tickets. Seating was extremely limited; the piece was only shown to 12-person audiences. In Rochester, each of four showings (two times on both Saturday, July 14, and Sunday, July 15) will allow for an 80-person audience to view the dance within the intimacy of Nazareth’s black-box theater. “I’m interested in providing the visual structure for people to create their own experience,” Gill said recently from her studio in New York City. As for the title of the piece, Gill’s greatgrandmother was a real-life midwife and continues on page 18

her great-grandfather was an electrician; the union captured her imagination. “The name conjures an energetic quality I wanted the piece to hold,” she says. If you want to go that extra step and think analytically about the dance you’re experiencing, don’t miss the choreographer conversation between Beth Gill and Janet Eilber on Thursday, July 19. It will be moderated by Heather Roffe, known to Rochester audiences as one of the main dancers in Futurpointe Dance, as well as collaborating director/resident choreographer of that upbeat, urban company. Beginning in August, Roffe will also be an assistant professor of dance at Nazareth College, and will be largely responsible for implementing dance as a major at the school (currently, Nazareth students can only choose dance as a minor). Last week, Roffe spoke to City about the contrast between Gill and Graham, and their work. “It’s intriguing just how different they are in so many different ways,” Roffe says. “In terms of longevity and time frame, Beth Gill is just emerging while the Graham Company is the longest-running company in dance today.” “Their theme and movement styles are wildly different, too. Graham is very theatrical while Gill creates within a post-modern dance aesthetic, employing simple gestural
movement and a neutral body, genderless attitude — not portraying male or female characters, or even animals.” “Graham is rooted in her technique. She was one of the first to successfully codify a modern movement vocabulary — much like ballet has a vocabulary — which dancers still use today,” says Roffe. “If you took a Graham class in New York City, L.A., or Beijing, you would encounter the same Graham movements, techniques, and aesthetics.” Also performing as part of this year’s festival is Luna Negra Dance Theater. This Chicago-based company combines ballet, contemporary, and Latin/Afro-Caribbean forms with killer results. Founded in 1999 by Cuban-born dancer and choreographer Eduardo Vilaro, the company exclusively presents the work of Latino choreographers. Gustavo Ramirez Sansano was appointed artistic director in 2009. This year he joined the coveted ranks of being listed as one of Dance Magazine’s “25 to Watch in 2012.” Meanwhile LehrerDance’s niche lies in its cool combination of modern and jazz. This eight-member company from Buffalo, directed by Jon Lehrer, comments humorously on the human condition while engaging audiences

with powerful athleticism. Futurpointe Dance, founded here in 2009 by N’jelle Gage and Artistic Director Guy Thorne, produces eclectic, multi-genre work enmeshed in contemporary/urban culture. Thorne was a principal dancer with Garth Fagan Dance for seven years, but has already shown that he’s got what it takes to make it on his own. But decide for yourself; come to the festival.

In addition to assisting in the development of skills, artists’ mentors can provide crucial insights into navigating the inner, creative world, and the outer, art-business world.

KIDS | Cool Kids Ninja Storm
It can be challenging to keep the tykes active during the sweltering month of July, especially if all they want to do is stay parked in front of the television. Thankfully, many institutions and clubs offer programming geared toward keeping kids interested in exercising their bodies and their brains. Join Cool Kids! this Friday, July 13, at Sagawa Park (corner of Main/Route 19 and Erie streets, Brockport) for “Ninja Storm.” Master Lim’s Taekwondo Academy will perform or demonstrate board breaking, self defense, nunchakus, and flipping. After the show, your kids can join in with the demo kids to try out their ninja skills. That is waaaay cooler than watching ninjas on TV. Future Cool Kids programming includes Celtic music on July 20. All programming is free and takes place 7-8 p.m. For more information, call 637-3984, or visit generationcool.biz. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY Jazz Fest!” Featuring Paul and Christine Knoblauch, Cordell Cordaro, Frank Argento, and Greg Polisseni.

THEATER | “Mirror of Love”/”Lifting Belly”
SPORTS | Equestrian Triathlon
It’s not often that you get to see poetry literally come alive, but this weekend you can take in a double-feature that does exactly that. Just in time for Rochester Pride, Bread & Water Theatre will present stage adaptations of Alan Moore’s “Mirror of Love” and Gertrude Stein’s “Lifting Belly.” The performance of “Mirror” is based from the epic poem that recounts the history of same-sex love while revealing a hidden side of Western culture through the lives of artists such as Michelangelo, Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, and Oscar Wilde. Stein’s “Lifting Belly” was written for her longtime companion, Alice B. Toklas, and explores the hardships of gay estrangement from society and the choices made for love’s sake.
The London Olympics don’t start until August, but you can watch some amazing physical challenges this weekend with the Cosequin Stuart Horse Trails, taking place Thursday, July 12, through Sunday, July 15, in Victor. The trials are an extreme athletic triathlon of equestrian sports. More than 100 acres of rolling hills in Victor will be transformed into three distinct venues in which approximately 300 riders from across the country — and even the world — will show their stuff in dressage, cross-country, and stadium jumping.
Both pieces will be performed at each showing, which take place Friday and Saturday, July 13-14, at 8 p.m., and Sunday, July 15, at 2 p.m. at 243 Rosedale St. Tickets cost $6-$12 and can be purchased in person or at breadandwatertheatre.org. For more information, call 271-5523. — BY ANNE RITZ

SPORTS | Sports & Music Festival
Baseball, soccer, golf — you know all about these popular summer sports. But spend this weekend checking out sports that are a little offbeat, a little…grittier. The sands of Ontario Beach Park will be put to good use Friday, July 13-Sunday, July 15, as the Monroe County Sports & Music Festival brings in such exotic events as beach wrestling, pickleball, sand soccer, and even a bench-press competition. It’s like the prequel to a Charles Atlas ad! The festival actually incorporates several different events. Picklefest will take over the Ontario Beach basketball courts Friday through Sunday for singles and doubles competitions of the sport that’s a kind of hybrid of ping-pong, whiffle ball, and tennis. Bench at the Beach, the bench-press competition, takes place Saturday starting at 2 p.m. (weigh-ins take place Friday evening and Saturday at noon). Also on Saturday, ROC Boxing will put on a kettlebell sport exhibition starting at noon (if you’ve never used kettlebells, they are the devil’s workout of choice, and can lead to some significant muscle-building results). The USA Wrestling/Team Titan Worldwide Wrestling Club puts on the annual Beach Wrestling Championships Saturday starting at 11:30 a.m. and Sunday starting at 10 a.m. And Saturday and Sunday, noon-4 p.m., you can catch soccer being played on 60’x40’ sand courts. All that action and more will be going down at Ontario Beach Park, 4800 Lake Ave. in Charlotte.

Woody’s Roman holiday [ REVIEW ] by George Grella
Within that setting the director tells a number of stories, all of them essentially comic, some involving the American experience in “To Rome With Love” Italy, others strictly Italian. Unlike Robert (R), written and directed by Woody Allen Altman, a master cinematic architect, he shifts Now playing from one narrative to another with scarcely any attempt to link them physically or thematically, Although his work exhibits his fascination with so that the movie resembles something like an foreign directors, like Ingmar Bergman, Fritz anthology of separate works connected only by Lang, and Federico Fellini, Woody Allen now shows signs of becoming himself an international their common location. The nearest thing to a major narrative deals filmmaker like those he admires and imitates. with that archetypal romantic encounter of His last several pictures have been set in Britain, America and Europe. A pretty young student Spain, and France, and now, in “To Rome named Hayley (Allison Pill) falls in love with a With Love” he employs a mostly Italian cast, a charming Italian lawyer, Michelangelo (Flavio considerable amount of Italian dialogue, and of Parenti); their engagement brings her mother course the title location of the Eternal City. and father (Judy Davis and Woody Allen) to Rome to meet the prospective groom’s family. That situation allows for the director to display his familiar persona — the neurotic, bumbling, timorous straight man who reacts and sometimes overreacts, in this instance to a foreign country, people, and customs.

Another story also involves a couple of Americans, Sally (Greta Gerwig) and Jack (Jesse Eisenberg), who live together in Rome while pursuing separate studies. By accident Jack meets a well-known American architect (Alec Baldwin) revisiting the neighborhood where he had lived as a young student himself many years before; in keeping with the director’s tendency to introduce fantasy into ordinary situations, Baldwin becomes a kind of spiritual mentor to Jack, magically appearing everywhere in his life and providing cynical advice about falling for Monica (Ellen Page), an insufferably phony friend of Allison’s. Along with his penchant for feeble fantasy, the director surrenders to his frequent temptation to venture into pure absurdity. One ridiculous episode shows an ordinary Roman citizen, Leopoldo Pisano (Roberto Benigni), finding himself famous for no reason whatsoever, a celebrity invented by the media, the darling of journalists, the subject of endless commentary, and the sexual partner of several beautiful women. Like many of Allen’s gags, the joke goes on too long, growing less and less amusing and finally ending in utter nonsense. A more elaborate absurdity grows out of Allen’s character Jerry, a retired opera director, discovering the wonderful singing talent of his daughter’s prospective father-in-law, Giancarlo (Fabio Armiliato); when he learns that Giancarlo can only sing in the shower, he stages a “Pagliacci” featuring a portable shower for the tenor, followed

by a “Rigoletto” with the same gimmick. The critics rave over the singing, but call Jerry an imbecile, an Italian word which he doesn’t realize means exactly the same thing as the English word. The film features more exaggeration and silliness, but as the Italians say, basta, enough. Throughout his career, in all of his films, whatever their quality, when in doubt, Woody Allen goes for a gag, a practice that describes much of the nonsense in “To Rome With Love.” At the same time, perhaps because of his reputation as some sort of intellectual as well as an actor’s director, he always attracts big names to his works, which explains the presence of Penelope Cruz, Alec Baldwin, and Roberto Benigni. The real star of the film, however, is the city of Rome, which all the characters celebrate in one way or another and which the brilliant cinematography captures with a gemlike precision. The camera wanders at various speeds all over the city, beginning with the exuberantly elaborate Victor Emmanuel monument, which Italians call “the wedding cake,” and adding the storied structures of antiquity, like the Forum and the Colosseum, along with the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain, St. Peter’s, the famous piazzas, and the stunning vistas from a number of points. The picture’s visual poetry perfectly reflects the place; I have never seen so beautiful a representation of that remarkable city, which redeems the script’s weakness and foolishness, and which will probably inspire even more tourists to visit Italy.
“There’s something wrong with your love story, baby,” the drug queenpin purrs to her pretty blonde captive over an alfresco dinner of lamb chops and menace, and we’re inclined to agree. The involuntary guest, Ophelia (Blake Lively), has already brought us up to speed on her polyamorous relationship with two drug-dealing best friends in the tedious, languid voiceover of a young woman not nearly as worldly as she thinks she is. Regrettably, Oliver Stone’s “Savages,” a violent yet oddly uninvolving Southwestern noir from the man who brought us 1994’s “Natural Born Killers” and 1997’s fascinating “U Turn,” hangs on whether this dull troika can draw us into their rarified world of high-volume marijuana selling, stunning beachfront property, and the occasional ménage à trois. “Savages” stars Taylor Kitsch (“Battleship”) and Aaron TaylorJohnson (“Kick-Ass”) as Chon and Ben, entrepreneurs and buddies who have

built up a profitable enterprise thanks to botany major Ben’s expert handling of some weed seeds that ex-Navy SEAL Chon “imported” following a tour of duty in Afghanistan. Ben is the thoughtful brains, while the steely Chon provides the muscle. Or: Buddhist and “baddist,” according to Ophelia, who dreamily claims to be their shared “home.” (No response from Ben and Chon, who clearly enjoy the sex.) Long story less long, Ben and Chon’s quality pot attracts the attention of a powerful cartel south of the border, who decides to strong-arm our reluctant (anti-) heroes into doing business with them by snatching their girlfriend. Bad for them, good for us, since it’s the Mexican contingent that provides “Savages” with its spark. Salma Hayek camps it up in a Cleopatra wig as Elena, the cartel’s no-nonsense matriarch, who takes a moderately motherly interest in Ophelia when her own college-age daughter rejects her. And Academy Award winner Benicio Del Toro gnaws all the scenery as the scuzzy Lado, Elena’s coldblooded enforcer, albeit one with a shaky sense of loyalty. Shockingly, though, it might be John Travolta who walks off with this film as Dennis, a motormouthed DEA agent up to his wrists in various pies. It’s a sly performance, and one I was ready to dismiss as awful and screechy after his first scene. Here’s hoping Travolta’s future consists of juicy character-actor roles. I don’t need to outline what happens; it’s all close calls, double-crosses, reckonings, blah blah blah. If only our protagonists were either interesting or sympathetic, because the film feels kind of empty. (Presumably there’s enlightening backstory from the source material, a novel by Don Winslow, that didn’t make the cut.) But the defiantly restraintfree Stone, who co-wrote the unsubtle script with Winslow and Shane Salerno, throws everything he has at the screen: changing film stocks, real explosions, and
characteristically brutal violence. (That is, in fact, an eyeball dangling from recent Oscar nominee Demián Bichir’s socket.) So yeah, while it’s good to have popcorn Stone back after more topical misfires like 2008’s “W.” and last year’s paycheck “Wall Street” sequel, let’s hold out for vintage Stone. It’s been two decades since John Woo’s
seminal action classic “Hard Boiled,” but the intervening years have done nothing to dim the charisma of Hong Kong cinema god Chow Yun-Fat, who has settled into middle age with a serene yet swaggering grace. Too rarely on American movie screens — and why is that exactly? — Chow stars as the bad guy in director Jiang Wen’s wickedly funny 20’s-set crime comedy “Let The Bullets Fly,” the current titleholder for highest-grossing film in Chinese history. Actually, “badder guy” might be more accurate, since the film’s ostensible hero, Pocky Zhang (played by Jiang, who also co-wrote the script) is a bandit pretending to be the new mayor of the town run by Chow’s gangster Huang Fox. Zhang, in turn, received his fake appointment by bullying a con man named Ma Bangde (Ge You) and his shrewd wife (Wong Kar Wai regular Carina Lau), which allows “Let The Bullets Fly” to play out in madcap fashion, with unexpected complications, shifting allegiances, and witty screwball banter mixed with the broadest of humor. Surrounded by lovely period production design, the pleasure found in this occasionally bloody film lies with the chemistry among the three male leads. The scenes between Chow and Jiang are especially mesmerizing, and not just because they’re both easy on the eyes. It’s like watching a careful poker game as the two wily veteran crooks keep their cards close and their guns closer.
DR. STRANGELOVE
Thursday, July 12, 8:30 p.m. What’s so funny about mutually assured destruction? A lot, it turns out. In the hands of Stanley Kubrick, co-screenwriter Terry Southern, and a cast headed by Peter Sellers (who does triple-duty in three very different roles), our nuclear nightmare becomes a pitch-perfect balance of comedy, commentary, and Cold War terrors. (Stanley Kubrick, US 1964, 93 min.)
LET THE BULLETS FLY Movies for movie lovers, 6 nights a week. Apocalypse Now!
Friday, July 13, 8 p.m. Small-time bandit “Pocky” Zhang Mazi (Jiang Wen) arrives in Goose Town claiming to be its new mayor, but local kingpin Master Huang (Chow Yun Fat) is having none of it, leading to a series of shoot-outs, double-crosses, and kidnappings of epic (and comic) proportions. A deft blend of comedy and action that quickly became the highest-grossing film in Chinese history, Let the Bullets Fly is only now seeing a stateside release.

53 Bergen Street
If you happen to be a first time homebuyer, a young couple, or a retiree looking to downsize, then you just might want to put 53 Bergen Street at the top of your list. This c.1940 Cape Cod offers an affordable and attractive home with modern updates that maintain the house’s historic details. You’ll enjoy the convenience of the new kitchen and bath and freshly painted walls. At the same time, you can appreciate the character that the original wood, double hung windows lend to each room. Historic wood doors with glass knobs also remain, both seemingly small details that add invaluable character.

Situated on a corner lot, the fully fenced yard offers plenty of room—front and back—to garden or let children and pets run. The large front porch is an unusual treat for a mid-century house and is not only a great space to relax but also adds curb appeal to this cute Cape. Entering the house through the front door, you step into a small entryway with a coat closet. Arched openings frame the living room and the back hallway. The living room is to the left of the entrance, a generous, well-lit space with a picture window and fireplace. To the right of the entrance is the totally updated eat-in kitchen. There’s plenty of room for storage and multiple cooks. Off the kitchen are the basement stairs, a side entrance that leads to the driveway, and the

attached two-car garage, a rare luxury in a city neighborhood.
A small hallway at the back of the house leads to an updated bathroom, a first floor bedroom, a linen closet, and stairs to the second bedroom. Wainscoting and an archway over the shower add a nice touch to the full bath. Depending on your needs, the bedroom could also function as an office or den. A handsome wood staircase leads to the upstairs bedroom, which features hardwood floors, a closet, and plenty of natural light. Bergen Street is a few blocks north of Lyell Ave., in the city’s Lyell-Otis neighborhood. This historically working class neighborhood displays an obvious pride of ownership with well-maintained homes, lawns, and an appealing and welcoming streetscape. Many of the homeowners are longtime residents, which lends the neighborhood stability and a sense of community. 53 Bergen is just minutes from downtown, I-490, and is within walking distance to the Lyell Branch Library. This 1,297 square foot, two bedroom house is listed at $64,900. In addition to its natural charm are practical updates such as a new roof, furnace and updated water heater.

Fun [ news of the weird ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD Slaved Over a Hot Stove: Delivering gourmet meals to customers’ doors is a fast-growing business model, with chefs in nearly every large modern city trying to cash in. So far, perhaps only London’s brand-new Housebites goes the extra step. According to its press release, cited by Huffington Post in June, Housebites not only home-delivers “restaurant quality” cuisine (at the equivalent of about $15 to $20 per entry), but offers an optional dirty-pans service (about $8 extra), lending out the containers in which the food was prepared, thus allowing clients entertaining guests to display “evidence” of their culinary skills and hard work.
Government in Action
— Big Fish: The U.S. Department of Justice has been widely criticized for failing to bring to fruition investigations of Wall Street traders’ alleged lies (such as accusations that the firm MFS Global made bets on European bonds by illegally using clients’ money, of which CEO Jon Corzine suspiciously professed to be unaware). However, in several notable instances, its investigators have been relentless -- for instance, prosecuting baseball’s Roger Clemens for lying to Congress and, in January, indicting marine biologist Nancy Black, who faces 20 years in prison for allegedly lying to investigators about whether her crew might have illegally fed whales to attract their attention for a boatload of whale-watchers. — The government office in Liverpool, England, that takes applications for benefits from disabled persons acknowledged in March that it needed to relocate. The office’s parking garage is 13 stories high, but that still requires
visitors to climb two more flights of stairs from that level to reach the offices. A Liverpool Council statement admitted that the office was “not (in) the ideal location.”
Government Grants for Everybody!
— Worth Every Penny: (1) In April, police chief John Crane of Gadsden, Ala., learned that his department has owned, for two years, two unmanned aerial drones. He said he has no idea why they were purchased (at about $150,000), but that local taxpayers need not worry since they came with a federal law enforcement grant. (2) NBC Bay Area reports periodically on uses of 2009 federal stimulus money distributed in the San Francisco area, and in May revealed that the University of California, San Francisco, had received $1.2 million to interview 200 men on what effect being overweight has on their sex lives. A government budget activist decried funding a “sex study over fixing bridges and roads that are crumbling every day.” — The Indispensability of Arts and Crafts: (1) There are not enough video games, according to the National Endowment for the Arts, which in April awarded a $40,000 grant to the University of Southern California to help produce another, based on Henry David Thoreau’s “Walden.” (2) Australia’s Council for the Arts announced in May that it would give A$20,000 (U.S. equivalent, $20,380) to the “death-metal” band Ouroboros, citing the band’s distinct genre and its need for a symphony orchestra for its next album. Said the drummer, “We wouldn’t consider hiring an orchestra to do this without (the grant).”
[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 30 ]
[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Someone with whom you have worked or gone to school will show interest if you make the first move. Visit places you used to enjoy. Love at first sight is apparent, so don’t rule out speed dating or approaching someone who catches your eye. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t tempt fate. Flirting with someone at work or who can influence your future may be fun at first, but eventually it will turn into an uncompromising situation that can cost you emotionally, mentally and financially. Don’t mix business with pleasure.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll play a heartless game if you aren’t honest about the way you feel. Don’t lead anyone on or get involved with someone for the wrong reason. It’s better to be alone than to entice someone who may not leave you alone when you lose interest. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Try not to make an impulsive move that will send mixed signals to someone showing interest in you. Problems and disagreements can lead to irreconcilable differences. Slow down and build a solid friendship first. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll
attract a lot of attention. The more you do to help others, the greater your chance of meeting someone special will become. Emotional stability is apparent, and your generosity will be difficult for anyone you are showering with love and affection to resist. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Let people come to you, but don’t be too quick to divulge your secrets or true feelings. Honesty will be hard to come by regarding a person’s current status. Don’t believe everything you are told. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The more you participate, the easier it will be to meet someone who
rocks your world. Travel, taking courses and socializing will all lead to interesting partners with plenty to offer. Don’t let your inability to make up your mind cost you someone special. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Let your emotions show. It’s your vulnerability that will make someone special gravitate to your side. Use your imagination, and you will come up with a unique way to impress and capture someone’s heart. You cannot buy love, but you can win it with your mysterious demeanor. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be drawn to someone totally
different. Your instant attraction will lead to impulsive moves and a fast commitment. Step back before it’s too late. Hidden matters may develop that will have you second-guessing whether or not you have picked the right partner. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t limit who you can be with by putting all your time and effort into someone who may not feel the same way about you. Branch out and test the waters. Network, socialize and see who fits your lifestyle best. It’s better to be safe than sorry. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Divulge your plans to someone
who interests you, and you’ll find out where you stand. Forming a long-term commitment with someone who shares your goals will improve your life and your future. Altering your current living arrangements will enhance your relationship. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t move too fast. Someone won’t be honest about likes and dislikes. Trying to be what the other person wants you to be will become tedious. Ask questions, determine if you have enough in common and make sure the person you pick isn’t involved with someone else.
