COVER STORY | BY JEREMY MOULE | PAGE 8 | ILLUSTRATION BY MATT DETURCK
Reproductive rights: the new activists States passed a record number of abortion and family planning restrictions in the first half of 2011. The abortion battle has intensified since the 2010 elections, when many statehouses came under Republican control. Those legislatures and governors have attacked family planning funding and imposed new restrictions on abortion providers. The generations born after Roe v. Wade have never known a country without legal abortion. The Supreme Court’s 1973 landmark decision declared that the due-process clause of the 14th Amendment covers “a woman’s qualified right to terminate her pregnancy.”
The decision didn’t end the controversy, of course. Abortion and reproductive rights as a whole have always been among the most polarizing topics facing the nation. And citizens and elected officials have sought to impose restrictions, whether on abortion itself or access to it, right from the beginning. But the recent wave of attacks has put new generations — some Gen-Xers and Millennials — in the position where it’s up to them to fight for their reproductive rights if they want to keep them.

We need change with the RPD
There seems to be a fact which is lost in the Emily Good - Officer Mario Masic incident: that is, there is too much crime. There are too many violent and property crimes, police response time is too slow, and the arrest rate is too low. Officer Masic, Emily Good, the RPD, City Council, Rochester’s residents, and myself all want a safer city. Mistakes were made on that night in May. If we are to reduce crime, the police and city residents have to work together, but that seems impossible when Emily is afraid the officers are acting illegally and the officers are afraid Emily is threatening them. Unfortunately, people are drawing lines and choosing sides, and this is making it more challenging to make our city safer. In many communities in Rochester, there is a mutual distrust between citizens and police officers. There are a number of reasons for this, and neither group is without some blame. In an ideal world we could correct these problems by reducing poverty, strengthening families, improving schools, having more recreation, and changing the way we police the city. Before any of the other issues though, it is important to make changes to the strategies and tactics of the police department to try to bridge the gap between them and the community. 1) The union and RPD need to create a culture of admission, so officers can admit to a non-fatal mistake and not be subject to lawsuits or overly harsh discipline. Doing this would go a long way in improving the relationship between the police and fellow Rochesterians. 2) We need to end the to eastwest policing system. 3) We need take the advice of the Department of Justice and start “community policing” as defined by them as the best strategy for crime reduction. 4) The department needs to move beyond PCIC (Police and Citizen City
JULY 27 - august 2, 2011
Interaction Committees) to create meaningful community interaction, which bridges the chasm of mistrust. 5) In the need to bring the RPD and community together it is important to avoid all appearances of racial profiling. Therefore, training should be provided for all officers on the effects of this practice. 6) We need to embark upon an intense youth recreation program to work with the RPD geared towards reducing crime. 7) The current Citizens Review Board is not working. This board needs to have the power to reprimand, recommend policy, review arrests, and assign necessary training. Also, the results of its investigations should be made open to the public, not just to the police chief. The Rochester Police Department deserves our support, but no group deserves blind allegiance. While I do not believe there is full-scale corruption within RPD, what the RPD is doing right now is not working for its citizens. We need to work to create the conditions that will improve the relationship between our police force and citizens so we can have meaningful reductions in crime. ALEX WHITE, ROCHESTER

Cobblestone’s support
We very much appreciate City calling attention to the plight of Cobblestone School and to the fact that it will be moving (“Cobblestone Will Move,” July 13). What is just as (or maybe more) important to emphasize is the fact that, in a difficult situation, there has been an immediate and generous outpouring of support from the Cobblestone community — past and present — in an effort to ensure that the school continues to operate, an indication of the difference it has made in the lives of its families since 1983. Cobblestone School provides a unique educational alternative in the Rochester area. It would be a great loss for it to disappear. ROSE MARTIN, ROCHESTER
(Martin is a former director of Cobblestone School.)
From our website
On our blog on the federal debt discussions: I’m willing to grant
that there may be times and places
where tax relief for high incomes can stimulate the economy by freeing up investment money, but this is manifestly not one of them. The global economy has been booming for over a decade, generating trillions of investment dollars. One could argue that an overabundance of investment dollars with too few good places to go was a major cause of the housing bubble and consequent Great Recession (see especially “This American Life’s” episode “The Giant Pool of Money” from May 2008, which among other things launched NPR’s Planet Money show). Instead, we suffer from too little public investment and too much private financial “innovation” aimed at soaking up the global glut of investment money. Keeping taxes low on high-income earners does nothing to address this imbalance, but instead exacerbates it. SANITY MONGER
On our July 18 story, “The Gay Golden Years”: It’s great to see the
issues of LGBT elders being highlighted, but the story never mentions that there are alternatives to nursing facility placement, including consumer direction of attendant services. Instead of medicalizing services and forcing LGBT seniors and LGBT folks with disabilities into facilities, we should be redefining those services — for everyone! For example, instead of going into a nursing facility, I personally intend to have strong, young “cabana boys” assist me in my home during my golden years. It will be much more appealing than nursing facility placement, and this can be done both on Medicaid and through private pay. It’s just that traditional provider folks don’t talk about these options. The issue of how we provide long-term services and supports is particularly relevant to LGBT folks because we are less likely to have informal supports to rely on. Consequently, we will rely on formal systems. That’s why we need to call for real Medicaid reform that promotes individual choice and consumer control. Having spent a lot of time getting folks out of local nursing facilities, I don’t EVER want to be locked up in one. BRUCE DARLING

Tea Party nation? The argument over the federal debt limit is stupefyingly depressing. In the end, though, it’ll be settled, one way or another. Far worse is what the argument reveals: This is what government in Washington will be like for at least the next year and a half. Republican and Democratic leaders in Washington don’t trust one another. They don’t like one another. And it’s hard to compromise when that’s the case. Hard to compromise on the debt, on domestic spending, on education policy, economic policy, foreign policy, anything. Nor should we lose sight of what, for many in Congress, is at the heart of the debt debate: the very future of the federal government. The new House Republicans elected last year are determined to slash government, to starve as much of it as possible out of existence. And to them, as President Obama said in his address to the nation on Monday night, compromise is a dirty word. Republicans are portraying the debt as Obama’s problem. But it was the Bush administration that got us into this mess, launching two wars, pushing a prescription drug program, and cutting taxes — reducing revenue — at the same time. And as the Washington Spectator has noted, during the Bush administration, the Republican-dominated Congress raised the debt limit eight times to deal with the Bush-generated deficits. In ignoring all that, the Republican newcomers have seemed woefully ignorant. But at last week’s annual convention of the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies, one Washington observer offered a different — more troubling — view. Jake Tapper, senior White House correspondent for ABC News, maintained that newer members of the Republican caucus are fully aware of their party’s history. They don’t care when you point out that Bush caused the deficit and the debt, said Tapper, and that a Republican-dominated Congress raised the debt limit numerous times. “They think they were elected to change that,” said Tapper. In his own address to the nation Monday night, House Speaker John Boehner again brought up the goal of the Republican caucus: “Cut, Cap, and Balance.” This cutely named measure would cut federal spending, cap future spending, and require Congress to pass a balancedbudget amendment to the Constitution. Two recent pieces in the Washington Post cited the problems with the Republican approach. In recessions like this
The new House Republicans are determined to slash government, to starve as much of it as possible out of existence.” one, wrote Norman Ornstein (a resident scholar at the American Enterprise), cutting spending is the last thing we should do. “A sagging economy,” he wrote, “requires what we call countercyclical policy, stimulus to counter a downturn and provide a boost.” Besides, wrote columnist Robert Samuelson, a balanced-budget amendment wouldn’t control spending or control debt. It would just “inspire evasion” and make the debt less transparent. The federal government would simply do what states — New York, notably — have done: create “off-budget” authorities and other entities to get around the limit. Do the ideological Republicans dispute these arguments? Do they underestimate the danger they are putting the country in? And what about the rest of us? Do most of us really not want government to regulate food and drugs and protect us from callous or sloppy practices of big corporations? Do most of us really believe that health care is a privilege and should be available only to those who can afford it? As unemployment continues to hover around 9 percent, do most of us really believe that anyone who wants a job can get one? Tuesday night, President Obama appealed to Americans to speak up, to urge Congress to reach a compromise. “The American people may have voted for divided government,” he said, “but they didn’t vote for a dysfunctional government.” In polls over the next few days, we’ll find out whether the American people trust Obama or Boehner. And in next year’s elections, we’ll see whether the average voter has been paying attention — whether we have thought hard about the role of government — or found it easier to succumb to the allure of fiery rhetoric and tempting slogans like “Cut, Cap, and Balance.”

New ferry service for Rochester?
Harper Sibley, a descendent of the Sibley retail family, wants to have a smaller Lake Ontario ferry service in operation by May 2012. Sibley says he has raised some of the $3-million in startup funds necessary to launch the business. The ferry would not carry cars and it would not operate during the winter. Mayor Tom Richards said the city cannot help Sibley with funding for the new ferry project.

Re-examining Rochester’s legislative districts
Lawsuit against state same-sex law
A conservative group, New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms, is preparing to file a lawsuit alleging the State Senate violated the open meetings law when it approved the marriageequality bill last month. The group wants the marriages that have already taken place in New York nullified. The suit, which which will be filed in State Supreme Court in Livingston County, has no merit, says a spokesperson for Governor Andrew Cuomo.

Common Cause/New York’s Susan Lerner says legislative districts should be drawn based on local priorities, not on political party enrollment or voting patterns. FILE PHOTO
Theoretically, the City of Rochester could fit into a single State Senate district. The current arrangement, developed after the 2000 Census, splits the city into three districts. But Common Cause/New York says that the city, with a population of 210,000, is smaller than the average Senate district and questions why it shouldn’t be put into a single district during the upcoming redistricting process. It also says that the three Assembly districts that cover the city could be consolidated into two. Common Cause recently posted maps illustrating the different voting blocs in Rochester and Monroe County. They’re on the group’s Citizens Redistricting Commission page in a blog post. The group also posted maps of the current Assembly and Senate districts, with an explanation of how they carve up the city. The idea is to get Monroe County residents talking about “communities of interest” and the ways they could be put together to form districts,
says Susan Lerner, executive director of Common Cause/New York. Communities of interest are people who seem to be motivated by similar political interests and can include school districts, areas of similar housing, socioeconomic background, or ethnicity. “That is challenging,” Lerner says. “There is no perfect map.” The new legislative districts should reflect local priorities, she says, and should not be drawn to give one political party an advantage. Legislative redistricting has long been a partisan affair in New York and Assembly and Senate districts have been criticized as non-competitive. Some legislators and good government groups, including Common Cause, have pushed for a non-partisan redistricting process, but legislative leaders have resisted.

School board members discussing Vargas’s contract
License to wed
There is a possibility that the Rochester school board will revise Interim Superintendent Bolgen Vargas’s contract. Vargas was hired in May at an annual salary of $175,000, with the understanding that he would stay until a permanent superintendent is found. But that was when the search was expected to take only three to six months. But the board now plans to take its time with the search, and the main reason is that at least some board members are impressed with Vargas’s performance so far. A search firm will be hired soon with the goal of having a permanent person in the job by July 2012, says school board President Malik Evans, and board members are discussing the length of Vargas’s stay. Changing Vargas’s contract would raise several questions. If board members have the votes to change the contract, are there also enough votes to make Vargas the permanent superintendent? Another question: is the board willing to renege on a prior stipulation in order to keep Vargas? Candidates interested in the interim superintendent position, the board originally said, would not be considered for
the permanent position. And who didn’t apply for the interim position because of that condition? It would be interesting to see how parents and community groups react if Vargas is allowed to apply Malik Evans says the goal is to have a permanent for the permanent person as superintendent job. Since board by July 2012. FILE PHOTO members have said the public would have an opportunity to meet the candidates, it might appear that a decision was already made. Vargas’s interim-ship has put him in the superintendent class: a small group of indemand public school leaders. So he probably wants to know when and whether to start looking for a new job. Vargas been careful in the way he responds to questions about whether he is interested in the permanent job. Notably, he doesn’t say no.

WARNING: Too much SUN exposure is dangerous
SIT ON THE COOL SIDE OF PARK AVE.
197 PARK AVENUE 442-4293 WWW.HOGANSHIDEAWAY.COM
NEIGHBORHOODS | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO
Vacant houses spark zoning concerns Long strips of beige vinyl siding have been peeled off sections of a vacant house in the 300 block of Grand Avenue. Wood and plaster from the house’s exposed frame are smoke-stained and tinged black from fire. And large plywood planks have been nailed to doors and windows on the first floor, while sun-washed sheets of plastic flap from shattered upstairs windows. Vacant homes are the equivalent of a malignancy in the real-estate world. They can have a devastating impact on a neighborhood’s property values, safety, and desirability. More than 2,300 vacant residential properties exist throughout the City of Rochester, and there is a debate among some residents, neighborhood leaders, and city officials about the best way to get rid of them. City officials have proposed legislation to amend zoning laws to loosen restrictions on the reuse of vacant residential properties. But that has alarmed some residents and neighborhood leaders who say that relaxed zoning is how many city neighborhoods got into trouble in the first place. Partly because of those concerns, the legislation that was supposed to go before City Council has been temporarily shelved. But the issue is far from being resolved. Some northeast and northwest
neighborhoods have a worrisome number of vacant properties, says Marcia Barry, the city’s director of planning and zoning. But they can be found in almost every neighborhood. About 1,200 are singlefamily homes, Barry says. The rest are multi-families: duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes. And many of those are “nonconforming” multi-families, which means they are former single-family homes converted into rental units. Most of the conversions took place after the city rezoned residential neighborhoods in the 1970’s from R1 single family to R2 and R3, which allowed thousands of single-family homes to be converted into multi-family properties. Neighborhoods like Maplewood saw many of their grand old homes halved and quartered by investors and absentee owners for the rental market. The decision has often been cited as the root cause of decline in some city neighborhoods. In 2003, the city approved a dramatic shift of some R2 and R3 neighborhoods to R1 zoning, with the hope that it would help revitalize some neighborhoods. A critical piece of the change targeted non-conforming City

properties with a “de-conversion” requirement: any property vacant for more than nine months has to be returned to its original use. For example, if a building was originally a single-family home but converted to a four-unit building, it had to be returned to a single family after nine months of vacancy. Many neighborhood leaders hailed the requirement because they saw it as a safeguard that triggered intervention: something that prevented a property from sitting vacant for The Beechwood neighborhood has had vacant multi-family homes de-converted to single-family homes, says neighborhood leader Kyle Crandall.

Marilyn Schutte is concerned about the proposed legislation. “We’re not in favor of it at all,” she says. “If they’re going to do something like this, they should not apply it to the whole city. They should do a pilot and see how it works in those neighborhoods with a lot of vacant properties.” The Beechwood neighborhood is peppered with vacant properties. Even before the city was rezoned in 2003, Beechwood residents gathered enough signatures from home owners to change the zoning in their neighborhood to R1 single-family to try to prevent vacancies.
“Nobody else did what we did,” says Kyle Crandall, president of the Beechwood Neighborhood Coalition. “And we’ve got the data that proves that the number of single-family owner-occupied homes here has increased.” Crandall says he doesn’t want the city to penalize the Beechwood neighborhood after residents followed the city’s requirements to get their neighborhood’s zoning changed Crandall has lobbied both Spaull and Barry to leave Beechwood’s zoning as it is, but it’s unclear whether he’s going to get that commitment from the city.
“We’ve really studied Beechwood,” Barry says. “He’s right. We did get some de-conversion. But there’s still a lot of vacant singles and doubles in the neighborhood.” Planning and zoning is re-evaluating its recommendations for de-conversion of non-conforming properties, Barry says. Would extending the vacancy beyond nine-months allow an owner or investor to rehabilitate the property, even if it isn’t restored to a single-family? Or would the property remain vacant and deteriorate? If individual cases were to come before the
city’s Zoning Board of Appeals, could that overload the resources of the board? Barry says there’s a tendency to be overly reliant on zoning to solve neighborhood problems. And much of the problem with vacant properties has to do with the city’s loss in population. To some extent, realestate market conditions dictate which neighborhoods improve. “We can’t force owner-occupancy through zoning,” Barry says.

rights activism and activism as a whole. For example, the Center for Reproductive Rights organized bloggers to write about reproductive rights for a day, calling the event a “blog carnival.” Conversations happen in the comments section of blog posts as often as in living rooms. Social media like Facebook and Twitter serve as gateways, facilitating open discussion and directing concerned people to information, petitions, or letters to send to legislators. E-mail action alerts are delivered instantaneously. Younger activists also use social media, blogs, and websites to network, to keep current on issues, and to mobilize peers. All of this is not entirely different from the approaches President Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign used to engage and mobilize youth. That campaign showed just how effective social media can be as an advocacy tool. On Facebook, a person may link to a post on rhrealitycheck.org, a reproductive health news and activism site. Say it’s an article about a military policy requiring women service members who are raped to pay for their own abortions. Friends click the link and read about the issue and then might continue on to an American Civil Liberties Union page where they can send a letter to their congressional representatives, asking them to end the policy. Younger people tend to respond to specific issues which they can personally relate to, NARAL’s Sweeney says, and less on the broader concepts of reproductive rights or reproductive justice. “I think the word ‘choice’ is just not resonating in the same way,” says KaeLyn Rich, a reproductive rights activist. (Rich is also executive director of the Genesee Valley Chapter of the New York Civil Liberties Union, but she was not speaking on its behalf.) Some of the ongoing reproductive rights campaigns reflect that. For example, a national campaign to increase access to emergency contraceptives — Back up Your Birth Control — has been well-received on college campuses, Sweeney says, because it’s a specific issue that’s important to students. Other ongoing campaigns include advocating for no-cost birth control, supporting family planning funding, increasing access to comprehensive reproductive health services, and fighting parental notification laws. Those programs and services make up the bulk of what’s been under attack. Access is an especially important issue to young people, Sweeney says. They also tend to focus on reproductive health education: “medically accurate, age appropriate” is something of a mantra for that topic.

he generations born after Roe v. Wade have never known a country without legal abortion. The Supreme Court’s 1973 landmark decision declared the dueprocess clause of the 14th Amendment covers “a woman’s qualified right to terminate her pregnancy.” The decision didn’t end the controversy, of course. Abortion and reproductive rights as a whole have always been among the most polarizing topics the nation faces. And citizens and elected officials have sought to impose restrictions, whether on abortion itself or access to it, right from the beginning. The abortion battle has intensified over the past year and is spilling over into other areas of reproductive health. That’s put new generations — some Gen-Xers and Millennials — in the position where it’s up to them to fight for their reproductive rights if they want to keep them. “The fact that abortion has been legal throughout most young people’s lives makes it more common to them,” says Tara Sweeney, a spokesperson for NARAL Pro-Choice New York. But do they take that right for granted? Does a generation that grew up post-Roe v. Wade, that didn’t live through a time of unsafe, illegal abortions, realize what’s at stake? And are they prepared to push back when legislators attack reproductive rights? The short answer is yes, young people are engaged and in significant numbers, says Angela Clark-Taylor, a reproductive rights activist and former chair of Planned Parenthood of the Rochester-Syracuse Region’s young professionals group. The group hosts events, does advocacy work, and helps with Planned Parenthood events. Many of today’s advocacy campaigns have significant digital components, and traditional methods like letter and petition drives occur online. That’s helped to reach younger reproductive-rights supporters, who recognize urgent developments and act when called upon, Clark-Taylor says. That’s not to say that advocacy is all done online. Area college students run active, on-campus reproductive rights groups, young people volunteer as peer educators and clinic escorts, and they do participate in some old-school advocacy, including rallies. When NARAL Pro-Choice New York went to Washington, DC for a lobby day, it was mostly women under 30 who were on the bus, Sweeney says. The previous generation won abortion rights, but the ones that followed have worked to preserve those rights.
petitions, contacting legislators, and keeping the issue in the public eye. Just last week, the Institute of Medicine, a subgroup of the National Academy of Sciences, recommended that private insurers should fully cover birth control as preventive health care.
HOTO ism. P activ hts -rig ive uct rod ep nr si er mb
The recommendation was actually part of the national health-care reform package. The federal Department of Health and Human Services had asked the Institute of Medicine to develop recommendations on preventive health services that private insurers should cover without co-pay. No-cost birth control was one its recommendations for women’s health services. ay l o T r says youn Clark g peo Angela ple a Reproductive rights advocates re e nga ged immediately started online petitions and in sig letter-writing campaigns to urge the nif ica Department of Health and Human nt nu Services to implement the recommendation. NARAL Pro-Choice America has set up a Facebook page that lets women calculate how much they’d save with no-cost birth control. Men can calculate how much a woman in their life could save. The user also has the option of sending a letter to Health and Human Services incorporating that information. But the old and new models essentially end up being about the same things: building up community, talking about the issues, raising awareness, educating the public, and taking action. BY MATT DETURCK
States approved a record number of abortion restrictions in the first half of 2011, says a recent report from The Guttmacher Institute, a sexual health and reproductive rights advocacy group. It says that 19 states implemented a total of 80 restrictions, which eclipsed the previous record of 34, set in 2005. And the latter figure accounts for an entire year’s worth of legislative activity. Those laws include: • An Ohio law that requires doctors to determine a fetus’s viability when a woman seeking abortion is more than 20 weeks pregnant. The legislation bans abortions if the fetus is viable. Similar laws have passed in Idaho, Kansas, Indiana, Oklahoma, and Alabama. • Kansas passed a law requiring abortion clinics to comply with all manner of provisions ranging from door sizes to the amount of blood that needs to be kept on hand. The law almost forced the state’s three abortion providers to shut down, though a federal judge temporarily halted it and the clinics stayed open. • Arizona, Kansas, North Dakota, Nebraska, and Tennessee banned the use of telemedicine in providing abortions using medication. • New Jersey Governor Chris Christie used his line-item veto to slash state family planning funding. Some of the state’s 58 clinics could close because of the cut. Montana also cut family planning funding. • Indiana and Wisconsin passed laws that prohibit giving state family planning funding to reproductive health centers that perform abortions. A federal judge blocked the Indiana law, which is facing a legal challenge. • In New Hampshire, a panel charged with approving all state contracts rejected $1.8 million in funding for Planned Parenthood. — JEREMY MOULE rochestercitynewspaper.com

FROM OUR BLOGS Americans tuned into the debt-ceiling debate have probably come to the realization that our fortunes have changed. And the country’s future is uncertain due to a paralyzing divisiveness. Real unemployment is higher than it’s been at any time since the Great Depression. So many Americans have lost their homes that major cities are faced with clearing blocks that were once neighborhoods. The costs of health care, education, food, and energy are rising so fast that many Americans can no longer afford their current standard of living. 10 City JULY 27 - august 2, 2011
Worse, the US economy hasn’t even begun to feel the full force of the emerging economies of Brazil, India, and China. Just wait until big-ticket items like cars, computers, and refrigerators start flowing in from China and India at one-third of what they’re being manufactured for here. And from what we’ve seen in Washington, there’s little reason to believe that our political leaders can do anything to get this country back on track. — Tim Louis Macaluso
Dining of hot pepper, black pepper, and possibly cumin mixed into it. As easy as it would be to fill up on these pastries, do try to save room for the bread pudding ($2.50). Each portion is the size and shape of a brick and the flavor is among the best I’ve tasted in a long, long time — simultaneously rich and buttery tasting with just enough sweetness and a tiny bit of cinnamon to round things out. I’ve paid a lot more and gotten a lot less elsewhere. Deli is a no-brainer for kosher cuisine; after

Everything’s kosher [ ROUND UP ] BY JAMES LEACH
A couple weeks ago, my 14-year-old nephew, whose family strictly observes the complicated Jewish dietary laws of kashrut, arrived in Rochester for a brief stay. I wasn’t optimistic about the possibility of making his fondest wish — to eat out as many times as possible with his restaurant-critic uncle — a reality. In my admittedly limited experience, those looking for kosher restaurants and take-out joints in Rochester were stuck with slim pickings. I’m very happy to report that my initial reservations were dead wrong. There are actually a surprising number of kosher restaurants and take-aways in the area, and all of them — without exception — turn out top-notch grub. Sure, you can find excellent bagels and lox (at Brownsteins on Monroe Avenue), kasha knishes, and even really good matzoh ball soup (at either Geulah’s at the Jewish Community Center or Leo’s Deli in the Jewish Home). But there’s also delectably meaty shawarma, fillo pockets stuffed with roasted vegetables, first-rate deli fare, and (wonder of wonders, miracle of miracles) pretty darn good pizza, all of it kosher. For those who aren’t familiar with the many
complex laws of kashrut, here’s an accurate, if glib, introduction: no bacon cheeseburgers.
Pork in any form is treyf (not kosher). Mixing milk with meat is forbidden. Beef has to be raised, slaughtered, and handled in a particular way. The cheese must not contain animal-derived rennet. The bun, too, must be kosher, and the dough has to be made without milk or milk products if you intend to put your burger on it. Even the condiments — ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise — contain vinegar, a fermented product which must be produced in a specific way. In short, it’s complicated. And in order to ensure compliance, commercial kitchens have to be regularly inspected, supervised, and certified by a rabbi (or often a group of rabbis, like Rochester Kosher Services), sort of a Department of Health certification given by a “higher authority.” Restaurants and take-outs make the rules nearly invisible by sticking to a single type of food, either milk or meat. On the meaty side of the equation, there’s no real competition. You can pick up a perfectly good kosher roasted chicken at Wegmans, but for beef you have to head over to Lipman’s Kosher Market (1482 Monroe Ave, 271-7886). The handwritten menu above the meat counter advertises falafel, pulled beef, and shawarma, but on two visits, shawarma ($7.99) was the only thing available. Tender chunks of beef rubbed down with a variety of spices (paprika
and garlic powder are major players) are sauteed along with onions and red peppers and then scooped into a waiting pita along with a generous dollop of tahini. Meat juice, sesame paste, and the sweetness of grilled veggies are an intoxicating combination, and the white paper bag in which the sandwich is contained will likely be crystal clear by the time you are through eating this astoundingly juicy and delicious offering. Alternately, stop into Geulah’s Kosher Cafe (1200 Edgewood Ave, 461-2000, x211, geulahs.com) near the entrance to the JCC and snag yourself some vegetarian treats along with a bowl of either chicken soup or a curiously light but very tasty mushroom barley soup ($1.85/cup). Geulah’s has been an institution for years, serving the hundreds of people who pass in and out of the JCC every day, but it’s worth a visit even if you have nothing else to do there. A display case at the front of the shop has a variety of pastries, salads, and other tempting noshes, including several kinds of knishes — mashed potato, kasha (buckwheat), and spinach were on display the day we ate there ($2.50 each). The fillo pastry filled with roasted eggplant, corn, peppers, onions, and other veggies ($2.50) was sensational, particularly when smeared with a bit of Geulah’s signature hot sauce, a thick tomato-based concoction with a lively amount
all, pastrami and corned beef were perfected on New York City’s Lower East Side even if they weren’t invented there. Leo’s Delicatessen at the Jewish Home (2021 S. Winton Road, 784-6825) manages to evoke both the essence and spirit of a NYC deli in a setting that could easily have devolved into yet another hospital cafeteria or snack bar but didn’t. With kosher salamis hanging from the ceiling, and a soda case full of Doc Brown’s behind the counter, Leo’s is like Katz’s Delicatessen lite. Start with a cup of matzoh ball soup ($2.75/cup, $3.50/ bowl, $8.75/quart), the single matzoh ball light and fluffy and luxuriating in a broth that tastes homemade. Follow that up with either a pastrami or corned beef sandwich ($10.95). Sliced thick, piled high (each sandwich is easily 4” tall), and served warm, the only thing that separates Leo’s from its cousins downstate is its rye bread, which is good, but a bit squishy. Sandwiches are served with a half-sour kosher pickle that is actually half-sour — crunchy, with the exact right combination of salt and garlic to make it sublime. All of these are excellent choices for lunch, but the most surprising find was the pizza shop attached to the Chabad House on Winton Road across from Brighton High School. Opened originally to give observant high-school students a place to go at lunchtime (the non-observant, or non-Jewish kids fan out across the Twelve Corners area), Abba’s Pizza (1037 S. Winton Road, 3609723) also does a brisk trade with the larger community, turning out pizza-shop-type food, including pies and fries (the latter served with vegetarian chili). The pizza here is much better than average, and among the best you’ll find in the city — largely, I suspect, because the guy manning the oven knows to turn the heat up so that the crust cooks quickly. The pizzas here are strictly vegetarian, but Abba’s uses the best kosher mozzarella it can find, fresh veggies, and a nice tangy sauce to make a delicious pizza. I highly recommend a mushroom and onion pie ($15.50). Calling ahead is imperative, however: the hours can be unpredictable and the capacity of the kitchen can be easily overwhelmed.

[ REVIEW ] BY KATHERINE STATHIS
The heat was on Saturday, and Steely Dan sure kept it that way at CMAC in Canandaigua. Opener Sam Yahel proved a true companion to the jazz-rock band, playing jovial jazz organ to the gorgeous sunset, setting just the right mood to stroll the lawn and meet some folks. Hammond sounds pulsed through the thickness of Saturday’s heat, and by the time we paid attention, Yahel had already taken us well into outer space. Layers of sonic subtleties made the trip seem effortless. Soon after, under those hot lights, the Miles High Big Band got things going, with the four-piece brass section alternating quick-fire jazz solos. This heralded the major dudes of the evening, Donald Fagen and the hilarious Walter Becker, better known as Steely Dan. Fagen, once into his languid keyboard intro, looked out and launched the night’s first words, “Up on the hill...” “Aja” was a nice sit-down jam to ease in the crowd, so we were ready to boogie when the band followed with “Black Friday.” Some folks in the shell didn’t agree, admonishing my pal Melis to sit down almost immediately. We bounced out to the beat of “Hey Nineteen,” finding kindred souls at the lawn. “Your Gold Teeth,” “Time Out of Mind,” and
[ PUNK ] Off with Their Heads has been on the
rise in the punk scene since its inception in 2002. In 2010, the Minneapolis band hit it big by signing with Epitaph Records, and after touring non-stop for over a year has finally solidified a line-up that had been in constant rotation. With two vocalists, Dead to Me brings to mind the range of bands like punk-core powerhouses Thursday while giving a depth to the group’s raw, punchy sound. The band’s lyrics address addiction as well as current social constructs, but do it in a reverent and poetic style that that is void of the popular “purpose-sake” whining about the wicked world. — BY DAVID YOCKEL JR
Opera Rocks! Saturday, July 30 Midtown Athletic Club, 200 E. Highland Drive 7 p.m. | $20-$25 | empirestatelyrictheatre.org [ CLASSICAL ] Do we still call it “classical” when the
press release mentions “rocked up” songs from “La Bohème” and “Rent”? This concert will be presented by Empire State Lyric Theatre as an outdoor performance and party. Also performing will be the Greece-Athena Show Choir, students from the School of the Arts, and the “C4” cello ensemble from the Hochstein School of Music & Dance. The concert will be followed by dancing under the stars to music by local bland Uncle Plum. — BY PALOMA A. CAPANNA
“Show Biz Kids” got heads nodding and feet raring for the ecstatic “Bodhisattva,” an extended jam featuring the dexterous guitar work of Jon Herington and requisite flashy rock-and-roll ending, complete with double drum-strobe effects. The real breath taker came after Fagen introduced the audience to the three soulful back-up singers, The Embassy Brats. The ladies took “Dirty Work” and made it their own, the female vocals making the song’s sadness even more poignant. Moody horns took it to a later era, infusing a smooth outer texture and inner contemplativeness that is not only signature Dan, but the tangible influence on bands beyond predictable genres, including mid-80’s China Crisis and 2011 darlings Destroyer. The classic-rock two-fer “My Old School” and “Reelin’ in the Years” closed the show, a prediction my pal Tootsie made with stunning specificity. By the time I regained voluntary control of my fist from the hard-rock anthem pumping, the band had left and come back with “Pretzel Logic,” a tune everybody knew but couldn’t identify. The single two-song encore ended with the long-awaited “Kid Charlemagne,” the funky strut that only left us wanting more.

Local musician Josh Netsky recently did a tour of ghost towns, and is currently wrapping up an album and DVD documenting the event.

Josh Netsky doesn’t believe in ghosts. Yet last summer he and his band did a tour of ghost towns like Centralia, Pennsylvania — a mostly abandoned town complete with an underground fire that still burns — Little People Village in Middlebury, Connecticut; Woodstock, New York (specifically The Overlook Mountain Hotel, which burned down in the 1920’s); and Holy Land USA in Waterbury, Connecticut, where some of The Flaming Lips “Fearless Freaks” was filmed. Netsky is hard at work finishing an album and DVD documenting the event. It’s full of Netsky’s plaintive songs and his brother Adam’s cinematography, but no ghosts. “The album is called ‘The Spirits,’” Netsky says. “And I believe in spirits — not necessarily actual ghosts. I think the thing that fascinates me about these places in terms of spirits and ghosts and stuff is that there is nothing left except for that… If that’s there, it’s all that’s left.” Netsky focused more on the 14 City JULY 27 - august 2, 2011
stories around the areas and applicable lyrics of his own. He circumvented the paranormal. There was none to be found. “Naw,” he says. “We didn’t see any shit like flashes of light.” But Netsky still had a scare while filming out in a wooded area in Centralia. “I heard this huge gunshot and saw a big cloud of smoke,” he says. “And that freaked me out.” It wasn’t a ghost. “Just some hillbilly with a shotgun,” he says. “We didn’t play venues,” he says. “I would just go to the spot I thought was the most scenic and play acoustically. Sometimes there were people there, but we treated it as if nobody was there.” It makes sense that Netsky’s music brings
a sort of cinematic panache to the fore, shedding light on his insight and versatility as a songwriter. (Full disclosure: Netsky is the son of City Newspaper jazz writer Ron Netsky.) Netsky’s sound resides somewhere in the wide chasm between electronic music, with its precision and drive, and a bareboned acoustically based strain. Though diametrically opposite in a lot of ways, it’s this 23-year-old Rochester musician’s penchant for pop hooks and bright lyricism that closes the gap. It was out of necessity; the electronic element was introduced when Netsky discovered that rock ’n’ roll and thin walls
don’t mix. “I couldn’t record drums in my apartment,” he says. “And I felt weird recording through an amp. Everything was done through plug-ins.” He began working the two elements of his sound into one. It all synched up. “I like heavy dance stuff and I like slow somber acoustic stuff, too,” Netsky says, dismissing a complete dissimilarity. “Actually, I think they work quite well together.” Netsky began playing guitar and writing around age 12. “But I never had any motivation to go out and play,” he says. “I just did it to mess around. I wouldn’t call it art at that time. I was writing joke-y stuff. I took stabs at writing serious stuff, but I was 12.” Toward the end of high school, he kicked it in gear. “I’d been listening to music all my life,” he says. “Then all of a sudden realized I might be able to do this.” He began recording on an old four-track his uncle had given him. “It must’ve been from like the ’70s,” he says. “But it still worked pretty well. And I had my Radio Shack microphone.” These efforts caught the seasoned ears of Roy Stein, studio producer extraordinaire, as well as drummer for New Math, The Jet Black Berries, and The Atomic Swindlers. The latter band would go on to back Netsky on his first live performances. The Swindlers’ rock ’n’ roll space odyssey was a perfect setting for Netsky’s forked sound.
Netsky has since moved on and into his own
with The Josh Netsky Band, featuring Adam Netsky on drums, Jay Milton on guitar, and Matt Riley on bass. The group further fleshes out Netsky’s unique mash-up of styles. And though the acoustic and electronic elements have their own parameters and agendas, when all has been sung and played, they come off somehow unified. This can be partially attributed to the band leader’s demeanor. Netsky is infinitely cool. Though obviously passionate about his music, he maintains a casual calm in and out of the spotlight. His voice on stage is forthright and direct; there’s not a lot of flash. In fact, you could say there’s a pervading melancholy — a haunting refrain — to the whole affair. He admits to an affinity for performers like Elliott Smith and Leonard Cohen, artists that say, ‘“Sit down and listen to me, this is what I have to say,’” Netsky says. “There’s something romantic about that tragic stuff.” But these artists — and Netsky — don’t necessarily bare it all. “You can kind of mask what you’re saying with lyrics,” he says. “So you put everything out there and it’s not necessarily all out there. It’s all out there for you and then people pick up different things, which is great.

ROCK | Bonzai Fest 2011
It’s Bush, baby. Not the holy grail sought by the horndogs in “Porky’s,” not the dimwitted Texan we’d all like to forget, but Bush, the heavy-leaning mega band that helped shape the 90’s musical landscape. Though caught in the modern-rock tsunami, Bush (pictured) leaned slightly more alternative. The guitars were arena big and the sound was epic, but Bush created a slightly disjointed raggedness that hinted at grunge. Its 1994 debut “Sixteen Stone” went six-times platinum, though the band essentially dissolved in 2002. This is the band’s first tour in more than eight years, and a new album, “The Sea Of Memories,” is in the hopper. Bush plays as part of Bonzai Fest along with Hollywood Undead, Puddle of Mudd, The Airborne Toxic Event, Manchester Orchestra, Bayside, and Sleeper Agent. Bonzai Fest 2011 takes place Sunday, July 31, starting at 11 a.m. at Monroe County Fairgrounds, 2695 E. Henrietta Road. $30-$40. frontgatetickets.com. — BY FRANK DE BLASE Get Back: The Beatles.

ROOTS | Amy LaVere
Memphis mama Amy LaVere’s second album was produced by Jim Dickinson, and she’s gorgeous. What else do you need to know? OK, she slaps a mean doghouse bass, has recorded at Sun Studios, and played with The Preservation Hall Jazz Band. LaVere sings with a coquettish innocence that, frankly, doesn’t fool me for one minute. She knows just what she’s doing, and it sounds fantastic. She moves musically from cocktail shuffle to galloping rockabilly, and will undoubtedly move you as well. Bring napkins.

Art to our examinations of own natures, to what we continue to do to nature without much forethought and despite warning signs. Rochester artist Matthias Boettrich’s grid of
“Cabbage Rose” is one of three works by Trumansburg artist Joy Adams included in the 2011 RochesterFinger Lakes Exhibition at the Memorial Art Gallery. PHOTO COURTESY MEMORIAL ART GALLERY
Impressions of various natures “63rd Rochester-Finger Lakes Exhibition” Through September 25 Memorial Art Gallery, 500 University Ave. Wed-Sun 11 a.m.-5 p.m.; Thu until 9 p.m. | $5-$12 | 276-8900, mag.rochester.edu [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
One-hundred works grace the walls of this year’s “Rochester-Finger Lakes Exhibition,” representing 49 artists from Buffalo to Utica, and Oswego to Binghamton. Though it’s overall a strong show with many talented, thoughtful artists, some of the jurors’ selections had me scratching my head. For example, Stephanie
Davidson of Buffalo was given a huge wall for her blind-contour ink figure drawings, which left me baffled. These are rendering exercises art majors do in Drawing I, not finished works for a show. Though there are many diverse artists and interests represented in each edition of this biennial regional show, a common theme usually emerges among many of them; some issue weighing heavily on our collective consciousness. This year I found a thread concerning different natures: our impressions of nature, and our own natures, our projected understanding of the wild and our own barely understood wildness. This is seen in the primalspiritual “portal” works of Paul Brandwein, as well as in Nancy Topolski’s “and then there were none” collages about honeybee colony collapse disorder. But everything is represented, from nature’s offerings of beauty and sacrifice,
photos, “Offerings,” depicts dead birds, rodents, and rabbits in vivid color, seemingly a set of gifts from a feline companion. The works evoke that strange combination of pity for the limp and curled little forms and a fascination of being important enough to another species to be the recipient of the spoils of the hunt. Fran Noonan of Buffalo was drawn to the wide range of temperature in her oil-onpanel, winter-gloaming scenes. In “The Depth Untold,” dusky trees stand silently under blankety clouds shot through with fiery light. All three of Noonan’s works offer that rare feeling of beholding a landscape that is both incredibly soothing and intriguing. You might recognize Joy Adams’ name from her epic “Mad Sally” series, but in this show, the Trumansburg artist offers works on paper from her “English Fields and Flora” series, which serves as an homage to her birthplace. These works in charcoal and paint on paper are not the single, tidy studies of specimens you might find in a naturalist’s field guide, but works of garden minutiae packed with chaotic life, a full view of the wild, crawling world. In “Geranium and the Underworld,” the center of the picture springs to colorful detail from a sketch, rife with life: caterpillars, mushrooms, beetles, and worms are also rendered below ground in sketchy root system. On to human nature: disorienteer HT Coogan of Honeoye Falls contributed “ht coogan’s spinning educational turntable of shifting attractions and inconsistent direction,” a work in which horseshoe magnets set on a spinning turn table affect loads of stacked compasses surrounding it. The orchestrated chaos is the perfect metaphor for modern life and the presence of too much “helpful” technology. Also see “ht coogan’s collection of scanned and bound sketch book pages,” the colorful miscellany filled with important irreverence and the stark honesty of personal epiphanies. Brockport artist Jennifer Hecker’s two contributions elicited a “we got Lady Gaga over here” from my date. Evening gown-esque “Martyr Dress No. 3” is made of glass shards and caulk over metal armature, while “Martyr Dress No. 2” resembles a wedding dress made of eggshells, corset, tulle, and glue over foamcovered metal. In her statement, the artist drew parallels to the hair shirts worn by ascetics, and here the ideas of fertility (eggshells) and material wealth (glass shards) are the physical burdens of psychological dealings regarding a woman’s worth. That the dresses are empty of a wearer is appropriate — a woman who bases her entire identity around either thing is an empty creature when the ideal cannot be actualized.
Though it’s a good idea in theory, I find
myself increasingly annoyed by the cell-phone tour system, as not every patron gets decent reception in the gallery, and only a couple of transcription booklets are available. In effect, many patrons miss out on the artist statements, which at times are very helpful in contextualizing the works. A perfect example of the need for posted artist statements is the well-thought-out premise behind the striking work of Manlius artist Kim Waale. In three collage pieces, including a triptych, Waale has pasted the innocent imagery of Disney characters Thumper and Bambi amid massive, drippy strokes of brown paint in otherwise white space. “Increasingly, nature is an idea, a cultural construction, and a commodity,” say the artist in her statement. “We are attempting to generate a natural world that we can control and therefore enjoy easily.” This is what we’ve always done, but now we stand at the pinnacle of our disastrous achievement. Waale’s work forces “an interaction between two familiar visual representations of nature,” being the happy commodified nature represented by the Disney characters, and the “I am nature” comment made by Jack-the-dripper Pollock in an interview, regarding his “gestural and scatological swaths, drips, and globs of paint,” replicated here in Waale’s work. Rochester artist Victor Pacheco’s work deals with environmental disaster. “Extraction Site” is a sculptural work jutting from the wall at sight height, a polystyrene “iceberg” with a tiny, steel oil derrick pumping away. Nearby, “Encased” is a giant polystyrene, fiberglass, and metal leaping frog, covered in rivets and suspended at eye level from the ceiling. Inspired by a documentary on the effects of pesticides on frogs living in water sources near farmland, Pacheco created an amphibian whose skin is not water permeable: “in this piece, a fluid movement in time becomes a still form in space. A jump of faith becomes paralyzed by absorption of toxins.” I want to assume the jurors chose the work of Rush artist Jeff Kell so we could have this discussion about the racism we’ve been tricked into upholding. Though I agree with the artist’s premise that we need to examine our ever-hungry materialism, the gorgeously crafted ceramic work “Bling” came off to me as blaming the least of the problem-causers. The big, black vessel is covered in dollar signs, graffiti-style words “excess,” “waste,” “greed,” “envy,” and “idolatry,” and a hummer with “bling” as a vanity plate. The reverse side depicts a presumably black MC presenting his chain and crown pendent, and the work is topped with a massive diamond ring. While it’s true that the commercialized side of hip-hop culture promotes greed and excess, I would advise viewers to look at the white CEOs behind the music-industry curtain with their puppet strings and their yachts. rochestercitynewspaper.com City 19

ART | HEARTS AND CRAFTS SUMMER WEEKEND AFFAIR
Busy adults don’t always get to attend all of the events they want to hit. You put something on your calendar, but the day passes without a glance at said timekeeper, and you kick yourself the day after. You’re in luck: this year, local indie-craft market Hearts and Crafts will present two consecutive days of crafty goodness at two venues, with more than 50 local artists offering accessories, ceramics, paperie, clothing, and more. On Saturday, July 30, 11 a.m.-5 p.m., visit the brand-new Wearable HeART Market at Starry Nites Cafe (696 University Ave.), which will feature exclusively wearable craft clothing, accessories, and jewelry from 15 local makers, including headdresses and earrings by Fawn Brokaw, dresses by Tanvi, fine metal jewelry by Seth Carlson, and salvaged-material items by EvenOdd Creative. Java’s Cafe (16 Gibbs St.) will host the traditional Hearts and Crafts market on Sunday, July 31, featuring a multitude of wares by more than 30 local crafters, including musician Alex Bogs’s assemblages and paintings, John Gormly’s whittlings, yarn and soap by Elizabeth Yockel (The Fuzzy Bunny), Nancy Topolski’s illustrated cards, The Butler Studios’ handcrafted journals (pictured), Jack Ballou’s stamps, and more. To preview items by the crafters, visit the Hearts and Crafts Facebook page at facebook.com/heartsandcraftsindiemarket. Both events will be held outdoors, and will feature live music from local musicians including Holy Smith, Amos Rose, and others.

ART/LITERATURE | JESSICA PETERSON
This nation has a colossal and ongoing history of violence and discrimination, which due to a hazy understanding of actual history, often gets pinned disproportionately on the South. Listen up, Yanks: whitewashing our own records of atrocity does no one any good. This week, book artist Jessica Peterson serves up a thick slice of truthy humble pie as she invites us to reexamine the North’s history of slavery at the Genesee Center for the Arts & Education (713 Monroe Ave.). Peterson will recreate a bit of local history and examine slavery in upstate New York when she letterpress prints a portion of Austin Steward’s autobiography, “Twenty-two Years a Slave and Forty Years a Freeman,” which was originally published on Exchange Street in Rochester by William Alling in 1857. In the book, Steward describes the first 22 years of his life as a slave in Virginia — and in Sodus and Bath, New York. The artist was motivated to examine slavery in the North due to ongoing discrepancies of history along the MasonDixon line. “We know that people in the North look down on us, and we resent it,” she says in a Genesee Center press release. Through her travels, Peterson has gained different perspectives: “I have lived in New York, Chicago, Alabama, and now Mississippi. I believe the history of race is actually a single shared national history. One can associate slavery, race riots, and racism with the South, but it doesn’t take much looking to find the exact same history in the North.” Peterson will print a limited-edition pamphlet containing excerpts of the book, using the metal type collection at the Center to set the text by hand and print on the Vandercook presses. You can visit the artist as she works each day on this project during her residency, which spans July 26 to August 2 (call for specific hours). An artist talk about the project is scheduled for Friday, July 29, at 7:30 p.m. at the Genesee Center. This event is free and open to the public. For more information, call 244-1730 or visit geneseearts.org. Learn more about Peterson and her work at papersouvenir.com. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

COMEDY | DAVID KOECHNER
You may not immediately recognize the name of comedian David Koechner, but he has played memorable characters in many of the most popular movie and TV comedies of the last decade. Favorites include Champ Kind, the sports reporter in “Anchorman”; the perverted salesman Todd Packer in “The Office”; and Gerald “T-Bones” Tibbons in “The Naked Trucker and T-Bones Show.” Koechner has appeared in more than 80 movies and TV shows, and will bring some of his characters to Rochester this weekend. Koechner will perform Thursday, July 28, through Saturday, July 30, at The Comedy Club. His stand up usually features a string of monologues from practiced characters that make for a hilarious one-man show. There is one show on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. and two shows Friday and Saturday at 7:30 and 10:30 p.m. Tickets cost $12-$15, and reservations can be made by calling 671-9080. The Comedy Club is located at 2235 Empire Blvd. in Webster. Visit thecomedyclub.us for more information. — BY ALEXANDRA CARMICHAEL Ridge Rd. 336-6060. 2:30 p.m. Free, register. Ages 6-12.

KIDS EVENT | ROCHESTER KIDS’ TRIATHLON
Getting kids healthy is one of the biggest issues facing our country. Many children just want to go home from school and watch TV, play video games, or surf the net. It can also be difficult if your child doesn’t feel as athletic as his or her peers. Rochester Area Triathletes will be holding a Rochester Kids’ Triathlon on Saturday, July 30, giving kids of any athletic ability the chance to exercise and have fun. The event combines swimming, riding a bike, and running for a three-part race that will take place at Genesee Valley Park. Children ages 6 to 17 are invited to participate in one of two races. There is a short course (50-yard swim, 2.3-mile bike race, half-mile run) or a longer course (100-yard swim, 4.25-mile bike, 1-mile run). Both races require registration, a $15 entrance fee per child, and will start at 8 a.m. All participants will get a t-shirt, water bottle, and a medal. It is recommended that each child arrive at 7 a.m. wearing a bathing suit and bring a change of clothes, a towel, socks, sneakers, a bike, and a helmet.

SPECIAL EVENT | DRAG BINGO BRUNCH
The notion of playing bingo draws up images of little old church ladies wielding specialized markers, vying for prizes with thinly veiled ferocity, and asking for calls to be repeated umpteen times. 140 Alex Bar and Grill (140 Alexander St.) has something a bit different in mind: on Sunday, July 31, noon-3 p.m., the Drag Bingo Brunch will feature classic boozy-brunch beverages and the ever-sassy Poison Waters, who will emcee the event. The cost is $15.95 for brunch, $11 for mimosa or bloody mary pitchers, with a free mimosa or bloody mary for those who make reservations (call 208-6796), and prizes for bingo winners. The name of the event is a bit misleading: there won’t be any actual drag performances at the event, and the only queen on stage will be the emcee, but you can catch drag shows at the venue every Friday and Saturday, 11:30 p.m. to close, with a different cast each night. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY Pop Swap.

THEATER | “THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW”
The 1975 film “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” became a huge cult hit. It is still played regularly in movie theaters, late-night drive-ins, and on stage, where audience participation makes each performance unique. Rochester’s Jewish Community Center (JCC) will be performing its own version of “Rocky Horror” through this week. Better start practicing the Time Warp! JCC CenterStage’s “The Rocky Horror Show” is based on the original stage show that inspired the film. The story follows uptight preppies Brad and Janet as they become trapped in a mansion filled with transsexual aliens. The aliens are visiting Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a mad scientist who has discovered how to create the perfect male companion. The stage show still has everything fans love about the movie — the stilettos, the corsets, the music — and runs through Sunday, July 31. The cast features young actors from JCC’s Summer Stage program. Audience participation will be a part of the show but is not required. The theater is located at 1200 Edgewood Ave. Tickets cost $18-$26 and can be purchased online at jccrochester.org. — BY ALEXANDRA CARMICHAEL of Perinton, 159 Sully’s Trail, Pittsford. 760-5400, 800-2723900, alz.org/rochesterny. 1-3 p.m. Free, register.

How comic books won the war [ REVIEW ] by George Grella
“Captain America: The First Avenger” (PG-13), directed by Joe Johnston Now playing
Although most of the movies inspired by comic books deal with the contemporary world and its technology, “Captain America: The First Avenger” returns to the actual origins of the superhero way back in 1941. As students of the literary form know, World War II energized the infant art of comics, which evolved into a huge industry — in the 1940’s, the comic books went to war, sending
their heroes into action against the Axis powers in Europe and the Japanese in the Pacific. It apparently worked: we won, didn’t we? The picture follows the basic story of its source, showing the origin of the superhero and the context of his creation. Chris Evans plays Steve Rogers, a skinny, undersized, asthmatic kid from Brooklyn who desperately wants to enlist in the Army to fight for his country, but after attempting a number of illegal ploys, again and again fails the physical. Finally Abraham Erskine (Stanley Tucci), a refugee German scientist, seeing in the young man a potential candidate for a daring experiment, approves his enlistment. Although because of his physical limitations Steve lags far behind his peers in basic training, he demonstrates the qualities that Erskine seeks for his experiment — intelligence, courage, decency, and patriotism. Erskine injects Rogers with a special serum, zaps him with electricity, and transforms him into a large, muscular, athletically superior specimen, the super soldier the country

needs. Provided with a form fitting costume, complete with shield, a gaggle of chorus girls, and a corny speech, Rogers becomes Captain America, touring the country to sell war bonds. In Germany, Erskine’s counterpart, a Nazi scientist named Johann Schmidt (Hugo Weaving) conducts a parallel process, turning himself into another kind of super soldier, Red Skull. A megalomaniac determined to conquer the world — comic-book villains seldom lack ambition — he wants to resurrect the Norse myths and become the new Odin, not only a superman, but a god. He leads a cult of followers called Hydra and plans to deploy something like a death ray against the major cities of the world, including by the way, Berlin — he sees himself as greater than Hitler. As everyone expects, the two figures inevitably will confront each other, but the movie raises a few secondary issues that delay the grand battle. The somewhat comic Captain America act, for example, flops when Steve plays in Italy for an audience of soldiers more interested in the chorus girls than a guy in a silly costume. Complicating the simple business of superheroism with the disturbing problem of romance, he also falls for Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell), an English agent working with the Americans. Disobeying the orders of his commanding officer, the irascible Colonel Phillips (Tommy Lee Jones), he embarks on a solo mission to rescue hundreds of prisoners from a Hydra factory; that

action establishes him as a true super soldier, a new American hero. After that success he assembles an international squad of fighters even more diverse than the usual Hollywood bomber crew, which like similar comic book group — students of the form will recall “Blackhawk” and “The Boy Commandos” — fights against the Nazi menace more effectively than the United States military. Aside from the usual stunts, shootouts, and explosions, the movie depends for much of its appeal on its recreation of the past, its careful duplication of the cars, the clothes, the hair styles, the look of the time. The camera operators, lighting technicians, and set decorators present that material through the sepia filters Hollywood favors as the appropriate color for the 1930’s and 1940’s. At the same time, Red Skull employs an array of equipment, especially a flying wing of an airplane and a terrific automobile — why do the bad guys always get the best-looking stuff? — that closely resembles the cover illustrations on the old science-fiction pulps. The performances conform to the usual comicbook standards of utilitarian minimalism, all simple emotion and tightlipped melodrama. The two antagonists suitably embody the basic conflict of good and evil — somehow the filmmakers graft Chris Evans’s bland, boyish face on a meager frame before he explodes into the muscular Captain — and the noseless Red Skull (cousin to Lord Voldemort) demonstrates the comforting comicbook notion that evil always looks ugly.
Summer, as you know, is prime time for escapist cinema; two chill, inky hours where you abandon logic and pretend that good and evil are always sharply defined and justly desserted. Of course, by the time you climb into your lava-hot car you’ve snapped back to reality, and any residual optimism buoyed by what you had just seen has faded like a Pound Puppy in the back window. Now, no one likes that unceremonious reentry, so what if I told you that currently in theaters is a movie with a premise so improbable, an execution so smug, that you’ll declare shenanigans within the first 10 minutes? Just think: no crushing disappointment once you remember that such things will never happen to you; only buttery popcorn, meat-locker a/c, and attractive people trying to manipulate your emotions with some glossy make-believe. You in? The movie is “Friends With Benefits,” a frustratingly slick romantic comedy
that purports to sneer at the genre’s sappy conventions... just as the plot is dolling itself up to throw its arms and legs around all that hoary cliché. Before the inevitable trajectory, though, you’re expected to accept that two lusty charmers like Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake wouldn’t want to get together on the spot. Kunis plays Jamie, a corporate headhunter who first encounters Timberlake’s Dylan when he arrives in Manhattan from Los Angeles to interview for a position at GQ. Long story short: Dylan relocates for the job, and the two singletons become close friends. Now, both Jamie and Dylan are gun-shy about relationships — she’s “emotionally damaged,” while he’s “emotionally unavailable” — but they agree that a little obligation-free and consequence-less sex is an awesome idea. And at first it is, though even as Jamie and Dylan snuggle on the sofa and rail against the dumbed-down predictability of Hollywood romance, we know what will happen. The problem is that it’s not clear what the problem is. They’re best pals and they enjoy easy, fun sex; isn’t that what most people want from a relationship? That two smart adults who are constantly chattering away wouldn’t recognize what’s happening is difficult to swallow. The other glaring issue is that director Will Gluck (last year’s “Easy A”) digs himself into a hole by attacking the rom-com blueprint, finding no way out but to embrace every last audience-pleasing trope, from a calculated Cure cover, to suddenly gauzy lovemaking, to a flash mob in Grand Central Station. Sure, Jamie copped to a secret wish for the proverbial fairytale, but being meta-aware of what you’re doing doesn’t excuse the creative hypocrisy. Listen; both Kunis and Timberlake are undeniably appealing. She’s got this nonchalant, sloe-eyed bewitchery going on, while his seemingly unflappable cool gives him the confidence to plumb goofy depths. Even the relentless, ear-piercing
delivery of their wannabe Gable-Lombard screwball banter doesn’t dim their obvious chemistry. But the only sporadically funny script does no favors for the supporting players, including Richard Jenkins as Dylan’s Alzheimer’s-afflicted dad and Woody Harrelson as a gay sportswriter; a pair of peerless character actors, both are merely reduced to story-serving stereotype, each dutifully dispensing their assigned platitudes. Even Olympic snowboarder Shaun White pops up in a weirdly aggressive cameo that should get his agent sacked. For an R-rated movie about two people blessed with both physical and emotional connections, “Friends With Benefits” is suspiciously devoid of any actual intimacy. I’ve never seen a movie quite like
filmmaker Clio Barnard’s “The Arbor,” a compelling creation that tells the tragic tale of late British playwright Andrea Dunbar through a blend of archival interviews, stage play, as well as actors lip-synching the recorded reminisces of Dunbar’s family and colleagues. Dunbar was 15 when she wrote the acclaimed debut from which this film takes its name, a largely autobiographical piece about a pregnant teen in a rough Yorkshire housing project. But the heavy-drinking Dunbar would be dead at 29 from a brain hemorrhage, leaving behind three kids from as many different men. It’s Dunbar’s eldest, Lorraine, who emerges as the focus of the film; portrayed by the hauntingly luminous Manjinder Virk, the mixed-race Lorraine tells heartbreaking stories of bigotry, neglect, and abuse, all of which set the stage for her own sad circumstances. Now, the lip-synch device sounds odd, I know, but it’s hardly even noticeable; the real Lorraine opens her heart without a trace of self-pity, and as her words tumble from the mouth of another, Virk’s spellbinding eyes convey the pain as well as the surprising resilience.

Film Previews Full film reviews available at rochestercitynewspaper.com. [ OPENING ] THE ARBOR (2010): This absorbing look at the late British playwright Andrea Dunbar takes an unconventional approach, telling her story as actors channel the lip-synched testimonials of her grown and equally troubled children. Dryden (Thu, July 28, 8:30 p.m.) A BOY CALLED DAD (NR): The Little closes its “From Britain With Love” series with a drama about a 14-year-old father who, along with his own wayward dad (the great English character actor Ian Hart), learns about the responsibilities of adulthood. Little COWBOYS AND ALIENS (PG13): Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford team up for Jon Favreau’s sci-fi Western, which watches as settlers and natives lay their differences aside to take on invaders in 1873 Arizona. With Paul Dano, Sam Rockwell, and Olivia Wilde. Brockport, Canandaigua, Culver, Eastview, Geneseo, Greece, Henrietta, Pittsford, Tinseltown, Vintage, Webster CRAZY, STUPID, LOVE. (PG-13): This romantic comedy from the directors of “I Love You, Phillip Morris” stars Steve Carell as a newly single dad navigating the dating scene with the help of cocky bachelor Ryan Gosling. Co-starring Emma Stone, Julianne Moore, and Marisa Tomei. Canandaigua, Culver, Eastview, Geneseo, Greece, Henrietta, Pittsford, Tinseltown, Webster MGM SHORTS/NICK CARTER, MASTER DETECTIVE (19361942/1939): Six Jacques Tourneur short films will precede his early B-movie mystery that stars Walter Pidgeon as a gumshoe out to foil spies at the Radex Airplane Company.
Dryden (Wed, July 27, 8 p.m.) PAGE ONE: INSIDE THE NEW YORK TIMES (R): This documentary spends a year behind the scenes of the Old Gray Lady, observing as the Times tries to navigate its way through the evolution of the media industry. Little SAY ANYTHING... (1989): Cameron Crowe’s filmmaking debut stars John Cusack as an aspiring kickboxer trying to woo Ione Skye’s pretty valedictorian, much to the displeasure of her overprotective father (John Mahoney). Easily one of the best films of the 80’s. Dryden (Fri, July 29, 8 p.m.) THE SMURFS (PG): Neil Patrick Harris stars in the big-screen adaptation of the kids’ cartoon, a blend of live-action and animation that follows our little blue heroes — just three apples high! — as they unwittingly tumble from their world into ours. Featuring the voices of Hank Azaria, Katy Perry, and Jonathan Winters. Brockport, Canandaigua, Culver, Eastview, Geneseo, Greece, Henrietta, Tinseltown, Vintage, Webster STARS IN MY CROWN/BERLIN EXPRESS (1950/1947): The first film in this Jacques Tourneur double-feature stars Joel McCrea as a Civil War veteran who becomes a small-town preacher and gets involved in the dealings of his parishioners, while the second stars Robert Ryan as an American in war-torn Germany working to save a Nazi double agent. Dryden (Sun, July 31, 7:30 p.m.) THE SURE THING (1985): Rob Reiner’s take on “It Happened One Night” features John Cusack as a college student whose single-minded trip across the country is nearly derailed by his traveling companion, a scholarly young woman (Daphne Zuniga) traveling for reasons of her own. Dryden (Sat, July 30, 8 p.m.) WHAT’S UP, DOC? (1972): Peter Bogdanovich taps into his inner
Howard Hawks for this screwball comedy about a mild-mannered musicologist (Ryan O’Neal) whose ordered life is upended once he crosses paths with a wacky college student (Barbra Streisand). Dryden (Tue, August 2, 8 p.m.) [ CONTINUING ] BEGINNERS (R): Perhaps the peerless Christopher Plummer will finally win that elusive Oscar for his performance in Mike Mills’ autobiographical dramedy about an elderly man who announces to his son (Ewan McGregor) that he is gay. Little HORRIBLE BOSSES (R): Kevin Spacey, Jennifer Aniston, and Colin Farrell play the title characters in this dark comedy about three guys --- Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, and Jason Sudeikis --- who conspire to murder their respective supervisors. Canandaigua, Culver, Eastview, Greece, Henrietta, Pittsford, Tinseltown, Vintage, Webster LARRY CROWNE (PG-13): In director Tom Hanks’ second feature, 15 years after “That Thing You Do!”, he stars as a middle-aged man who returns to school and develops a crush on Julia Roberts’ similarly unfocused teacher. Canandaigua, Pittsford THE TRIP (NR): Michael Winterbottom, one of cinema’s most underappreciated filmmakers, directs this comedy travelogue that watches Steve Coogan and his best friend Rob Brydon bicker and chew their way through the restaurants of Northern England. Little WINNIE THE POOH (G): So Pooh sets out to find some honey one day and mistakenly believes Christopher Robin has been kidnapped in this bit of oldfashioned animation from Disney. Canandaigua, Culver, Eastview, Geneseo, Greece, Henrietta, Tinseltown, Webster
